    I might be old but I like these "talkshows" more than any of those hyperactive Action Jackson videos.
    This was once again a really nice listening.
    Thanks John.

      It's actually becoming more of a thing for people who use RUclips, fortunately. People are watching more discussions, debates, videos longer than 5 mins, people expressing their thoughts on things.
      Rather than this popcorn garbage that trends on RUclips.

  • @CthulhuToo
    @CthulhuToo 7 лет назад +19

    I for one love the fact that you focus your channel on being authentic, laid-back, and unassuming. Hyperactive, in-your-face videos may work better for clickbait, but they're a dime a dozen. Keep the quality content coming, John!

      Agreed, the cam's fine. I also came to your channel via MJR whom I also discovered only a few weeks ago. All of you (as in Metal Jesus and any one of his guests) deliver great content and great entertainment. Keep it up!

    The best conversation... is always with the "Immortal John Hancock". This is my favourite RUclips subscription. I will keep watching because of your passion that clearly shows concerning preserving retro gaming. I personally thank you.

  • @billybeck
    @billybeck 7 лет назад +11

    Love your videos John. If I can just give you my 2 cents. Don't worry about what other youtubers do, or what content already exists. If I want to see a retrospective on Frostbite, I'd watch your video first. Same goes for any gaming subject. Just because there's a bunch of kids out there who might have already done everything you can think of, it doesn't matter. Another thing. Why not do a quick 5 minute review of a random game? And tell us it's history, and your stories around it whilst playing it. Quick snappy videos. A couple a week.
    Keep up the good work. All the best to you and your family.

    You have become one of my favorite people to listen to! In the morning when i'm eating my breakfast and having cup of coffee before work I always come on here and watch/listen to a few videos. It puts me in a good mood for the better part of my day. Thanks for the quality content John, keep it up man! I agree with you on so many things - besides that OUYA!

  • @futur3gentleman802
    @futur3gentleman802 7 лет назад +14

    It is clear that you want to share every ounce of video game knowledge that you have - and the topic of a museum is one that you bring up often. To that end, you live in a video game museum that I doubt you would want many strangers to come and visit.
    If you were to take 360 degree photos of your game room using something like a Ricoh Theta S (spherical camera) you could share those images with the world and allow people to virtually see your game room using Google Cardboard and their cell phone. I have this camera, and if you are interested maybe I can loan it to you.
    I don't know if I would be interested in going to a real physical museum, but I would be very interested in viewing your cluttered walls and then using that info to ask questions in the future. DM me if you are interested, I live in the future :)

    I can't think of another channel I watch that's so light on editting, rich in content, and this entertaining. We don't need some showy graphic or effect in our faces every 15 seconds.
    Your style works great and is appreciated.

    that's exactly right, that's why I love this channel,I feel your just taking to me! your not phoney like the others. I like the older camera, and from your man cave. not some fancy expensive monitors and set ups! stay you bro and keep it up

  • @GaryGrimtooth
    @GaryGrimtooth 7 лет назад +2

    I definitely advise coming to Australia, it's a great place to live and visit.. but don't expect to come here and find mountains of games just lying around haha. I live in a pretty small city and there are SEVEN retro game stores in my area as well as a dozen or so regular resellers on Gumtree/Facebook.
    Retro Collecting / Gaming is definitely NOT crashing here. You can find the games you want fairly easily, but expect to pay eBay prices (or more) for them at stores because they all compete heavily against each other to get them. I regularly check out markets, swap meets, garage sales, thrift shops but often come out empty handed.

  • @bluearmy893
    @bluearmy893 7 лет назад +2

    I enjoyed this video John. I originally came here for the games probably like everyone else but have come to learn you're a deep and genuine old soul. Even if you got out of games (lol yeah right) and wanted to talk about random things like your favorite flavors of tea, I'm a subscriber for life. I just like listening to you talk! Keep up the great work!

    @Icza 7 лет назад +3

    When you see a RUclipsr who makes a video about something you want to do a video on as well, remember that not everyone is gonna see the other person's video and may also be interested in watching multiple videos about the same subject anyways to see what certain RUclipsrs think of it. I say make those videos anyways, who cares what others are doing or how well they're doing it. Your channel is yours. It just makes me sad you hold back on stuff like that, I'd like to watch your version :/

  • @TarksGauntlet
    @TarksGauntlet 7 лет назад +1

    You're rich man. Just look at your family. You got all you'll ever need there (So send me your collection.)
    I JK of course but man, you got it all going right now it seems. It's nice to see and inspirational. I feel I got lucky with my collection (Over 900 not above 1000 games yet, conservative comparatively) and with being able to have all this with a fiance who's also interested in what we have created.

  • @ash44433
    @ash44433 7 лет назад

    I will watch multiple youtubers talk about the same subject because they all put there own unique spin on the subject. You can do the same, John. I would definitely watch your video on a subject even if others have talked about it, because I would really enjoy your style of video on the subject. Your honest view on the subjects is what makes you unique, and I really love that. Thanks John for making my evenings after my stressful job more enjoyable.

    @monostatusgamingcorner 7 лет назад

    Thanks for the great Video. Sadly there are not too many collectors out there who share their passion in the personal and down-to-earth style like you! Keep the good work going! Greetings from Germany :)

  • @MVLGAMING
    @MVLGAMING 7 лет назад +1

    I think most collectors get to a point where they have more games than time to play them. I'm facing that, and my collection in tiny by comparison. Australia seems nice, but I fear giant spiders. I also emphasise on the camera issues. Cameras are expensive, especially when you want to get games. And again, I feel your pain on space, I may need to be creative on storage. Wouldn't worry about how other videos display, we love you for your personal insight and colourful character.

    @LegendaryK4 7 лет назад

    John, you are an inspiration to all of us. I would like to thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I am just starting out collecting and believe me... it is tough. I am in the Boston area and their is not many retro stores so I am subjected to the beating of craigslist and facebook yardsale sites. The main issue being with people basing their prices off ebay. My goal is to purchase all the consoles I want first and then work on the games. Only reason I am doing it that way is because I have very limited space so when I go to set up my game area I have all the dimensions I need. As far as games I will only buy what I plan on playing. I think eventually I might go for a complete collection, but for now I think that is good enough. Thanks again.

    I don't think you should worry what anyone else is doing. I started watching your channel because you're a likeable guy, if you don't do a video because you think some one else did a better job, what makes you think I would ever even find that channel?
    So from the south east of England, keep up the great work. Atari is my favorite computer the 8 bit especially!!!
    One last think, video quality is great, I have no intention of getting a 4K telly.

    There's a million "Top Ten games" or "Hidden gem" videos but I still make sure to catch MJRs videos on that topic because I enjoy his content.

      @skunkcabbages5040 7 лет назад +1

      +John Hancock idk why but that makes me feel better somehow, when most of the top video game channels seem to be bawling obscenities into the microphone, acting zany, or talking about tmz style RUclips drama while someone plays a fps in the background, I really appreciate how real, down to earth, and honest your videos are)( and I say go for the click bait topics, if you keep it as real and honest as your other videos, I'd actually really like to hear your opinions on these topics, I sure trust your opinion over the juggernaut channels, that are highly sponsored with full blown commercials in the videos

    • @johnhancockretro

It's something that I've come to expect and really enjoy from your content.
    I don't know if anyone has ever asked you this but I will, and that's what is your favourite sega mega-drive game? Would really love to know =)
