You're one of the only youtubers that I've EVER watched that gives me such a legitimate feeling of warmth and coziness, man. It's like your videos embody what it feels like to sit by a kindling fireplace, Christmas just a few days away, with good company and good food all around. Keep up the fucking superb work, Ian, holy shit lmao.
omg YES thank you. lol I thought I was the only one who felt that way! :D Minus the Christmas just a few days away part, but I totally get what you mean though! haha
The enthusiastic/sarcastic commentary and the completely chill music really does it for me, like walking into a favourite cafe or something lol. Pretty great presence he's crafted for himself here, that's for sure!
I've actually won a lot of stuff from that key in the hole game (including a Pokemon themed 3ds a few years back). My trick is to get two people to look at the machine from either angle and time it out with eachother. It's actually pretty easy if your all in sync.
Little fun fact, these machines are actually rigged and will make you lose a number of times before someone can actually win. Makes the machines way less fun in my opinion.
Yeah they're rigged, with that said if the place you frequent is super busy there are rare potential for you to win, though you need to know when the payout is. Also a lot of machines are put into corners to stop people from doing the angle thing, along with a mirror in areas to make it even more confusing. D:
Don't quote me on this but I believe most places put the payout rate at double of the value of the prizes in there so if there something that cost 100 dollars you need to put in 200 dollars before it allows you to win
Once, I was in an arcade and I was showing my brothers a cyclone machine, and I said "Dude, don't use these, it's a scam, I'll show you" And i won the jackpot, irony
i used to think i was SO good at these back in the early 2000s when i went to my local FYE arcade, but they must have just made the winrate very high because i have never been able to replicate it elsewhere ever again
@@mattc1717 Why would you spend that much on an arcade game? It's one thing for a youtuber doing it for a video, for a real person you either have too much money or not enough brain cells.
I played the spongebob coin pusher at my local arcade for a month and a half until I had enough tickets to trade them for two kindles. I don't remember anything else about that month

This is my wife’s favourite video. She watches it every day at least once, and it instantly cheers her up when she’s having a bad day. You’ve rekindled a love of arcade games for her. During lockdown last year it was a big comfort for her to be able to watch this when she wasn’t able to go to our local arcade. ❤️
I assume with the Elvis game, with how old it is, it was intended to use quarters. I went down to Florida one time and saw multiple coin pushers in a store that weren't even motorized or anything. You just dropped quarters in and hoped that the force would cause some to fall. The intent of those machines is more aligned with actual gambling, you filter in quarters and will often get few back, but have a chance to get a huge break and have a ton to fall! Too bad replacing that with tokens defeats the whole point.

I'll be honest Moose, you're taking an interesting turn in your channel. It's not a bad one, but an interesting one, and I'm keen on seeing how it goes, if it continues, and what you'll do with it.

Wrong. This is "BrutalLose". I seriously want him to tell us how much he spends on these trips. It is (probably) unfair to audience to show all his cards etc, but not what he spent to get them.
The key game is not even rigged, it’s broken. The toys are held by cable wire, in a position that makes them hard to push, and the key pushes only .5 psi. Also most machines are programmed to only dispense items, at 300 to over 1000 dollars. THEN, in lots of places, it’s policy for store employees to refuse giving the item to the recipient, and then put it back in the machine. It is literally throwing away money
I just came back to rewatch this while working and I really appreciate the time and effort that Ian (or whoever did it) put into the closed captions! I don't personally need it, but it makes me happy to see that it's there for whoever does :) There's also a tiny bit of extra banter in the silence when Ian is doing the Spongebob trivia. Thank you, CC-maker! You're awesome!
I'm liking these arcade videos a lot more than the other stuff, not that I dislike them, it's just cool seeing these arcade machines and stuff considering it's been years since I went to a legit arcade.
These machines are a poor imitation of what a real arcade experience is like. These barely entertain you and you're mostly playing for an external, physical reward. Round1 is the closest thing to an actual large-chain arcade these days because while it might have some of these same machines, they have a large selection of fighting game cabinets and rhythm games straight from Japan. You know, stuff you'll be playing for actual fun.
Honestly really like these videos! Feels a lot more casual, and like I'm actually going to the arcade with you Would love to see more of these kinds of videos from you!
This! If you got your shit together and can handle it, then you can go have some fun at an arcade. But I think a video like this needs a disclaimer that the odds are NEVER in your favor and everybody playing has to be aware that you will loose money. If you cant deal with that, never ever play there.
I had a horrible 3 days. Like just _horrible_ This video legit cheered me up for 16 minutes. I remember going to the arcade with my dad (PuttPutt, Mountasia, or Nickelmania). My dad loved the coin pushers and he was always just as excited as me to buy some prizes. We'd split our winnings and Id get a brown bag full of kiddie nailpolishes, "chinese finger cuffs", and mini plastic toys, and hed get anything starwars related and a bunch of oversized candy. Really sweet memories, brought me back. I liked the music too. And It's always great to see someone truly enjoying something so wholesome and simple. I feel stupid for finding so much comfort in this video but I did so thanks lol. You should make more. You're really good at making them & its a plus that you truly enjoy most of the things you review. These wouldn't be the same with a different host.
Why do you feel stupid for finding comfort in thus video? Don't. From the way you're talking, it sounds like your dad passed. If so, I'm sorry. Enjoy the coin pusher videos and DON'T FEEL STUPID! OK? If you like, I'll tell you what reminds me of my dad.
My 10 year old brother has had absolutely nuts luck on it too! He once got the jackpot twice in a row iirc, either that or only with one spin in between the two jackpots. I always have shit luck when I play tho lol
Y'know, I don't know what it is, but somehow, no matter what kind of content you make, it's always entertaining. From gaming, to cooking and to this, it's always good. Keep up the good content, Ian.
Some local restaurants in my small hometown always had some real deal coin pushers (i.e. cash in , cash out) . My grandma always gave us quarters to play. She also taught us how to play poker and blackjack. Man I miss her...and proper arcades
Word. Also, let me know if you find any good skeeball somewhere. I'll hop a fuckin' plane for a solid skeeball lane, with wooden balls instead of the scuffed-up pitted plastic ones.
i used to work at an arcade with a wizard of oz machine, one thing i remember was that the chances of toto dropping were also determined by how many toto cards were redeemed the day before. at the start of the day, we would count up how many had been redeemed, and if that number went above a certain amount we would put the rest at the top so they had basically 0 chance of dropping. idk if that's what's going on at your arcade (the one i worked at wanted ppl to win as little as possible lol) but it's a possibility.
yeah, I've always suspected those key pushers to move just a tiny bit more after you hit the stop button to make it less likely to get it in the right spot.
Key Master is rigged, but the machine in the video is actually an all-skill version called Prize Locker. There's no payout rate, but it's significantly harder because there's a tiny little notch in one spot at the top of the hole and the key has to fit precisely in that notch.
Ticket and Redemption machines are rigged, yes. But actual arcade machines are not cause they are REAL video arcade machines and not stupid ticket garbage.
I would love to see a review on the rail shooters! The games where you get a prop gun and aim at the screen. Time Crisis, Terminator, Laura Croft etc. They’re super tough but it feels great holding that toy gun and blasting enemies away. It would be awesome to hear your take on them. This video was pretty great! I’m a huge Dave and Busters fan so it’s sweet to see one of my favorite RUclipsrs play the same games as me.
I got the chance to briefly visit an arcade just a few days ago and spent most of my time at a Marvel Avengers coin pusher thanks to this video. I walked away with cards for Captain America, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange, which I considered prizes in their own right because of how rarely I get to go to arcades. So thanks for introducing me to this kind of game, BrutalMoose!
As often as I get to go to arcades (almost never) I, too, would've kept the cards. 🃏 I have a soft spot for coin pushers, as I played them at the state fair growing up!
Back in my day, you got to keep the coins a coin pusher pushed off the edge, and they weren't tokens, they were quarters, but 1990s quarters, which are worth about $5 adjusted for inflation.
I've been binge-watching a lot of your videos lately, and you are becoming my favorite youtuber. I love your reviews, and your humor is endearing and so funny! Thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts!

I just came back to rewatch this while working and I really appreciate the time and effort that Ian (or whoever did it) put into the closed captions! I don't personally need it, but it makes me happy to see that it's there for whoever does :) There's also a tiny bit of extra banter in the silence when Ian is doing the Spongebob trivia. Thank you, CC-maker! You're awesome!
Idk how I found his video, but I really liked it. The energy of this video was just so chill. I never would've thought I'd like this kind of video.
There is another one like this on this channel too.
@@Safersephiroth777 Thanks!
Brutalmoose makes everything chill
This entire video was really cool. I'd love to see more videos about your arcade gambling addiction.
Would you say that this video for you at least that It Just Works
I'm liking these arcade videos a lot more than the other stuff, not that I dislike them, it's just cool seeing these arcade machines and stuff considering it's been years since I went to a legit arcade.
honestly if Ian made this channel an arcade channel I'd still stan
With that Elvis game, it would be cheaper to use actual quarters. That’s just insane.
I think that was the initial use for that one. The payout would be more quarters
You know I never really paid these types of arcade machines much attention before. Thanks for opening my eyes Ian!
I STILL don't. These things ruined the REAL arcade experience.
These machines are a poor imitation of what a real arcade experience is like. These barely entertain you and you're mostly playing for an external, physical reward.
Round1 is the closest thing to an actual large-chain arcade these days because while it might have some of these same machines, they have a large selection of fighting game cabinets and rhythm games straight from Japan.
You know, stuff you'll be playing for actual fun.
Can I put my vote in to call the BrutalMoose field trip series "BrutalMoves"?
Yes
You have my approval 👍
How about BrutalCruise? Or BrutalCools.
brutalmoves would be more suited for a dance video ;P
He needs to review alcoholic drinks. BrutalBooze
5:11 you can faintly hear mj's bell jingle right after ian says "one of each"
That's so cute!
Totally not obvious fact:
Arcades = Legalized casinos
They should be next after congress regulates the video game industry into oblivion
@@lwzeis eat shit EA, your lootboxes will die even if the AAA industry has to die with them.
Only 100 percent more fair and fun.
Peng Win and valve
@@pengwin_ +100% of 0 or 0.00000001 isn't much though
Honestly really like these videos! Feels a lot more casual, and like I'm actually going to the arcade with you
Would love to see more of these kinds of videos from you!
You should remind your veiwer to spend with responsibly! That goes to you too man please don't become addicted! XD
This! If you got your shit together and can handle it, then you can go have some fun at an arcade. But I think a video like this needs a disclaimer that the odds are NEVER in your favor and everybody playing has to be aware that you will loose money. If you cant deal with that, never ever play there.
Cyber Mark Yeah, i might have done that, i didn't know you were supposed to turn the cards in so now i have a pile of stolen cards
Key master/prize locker has a predetermined table on whether you'll win or not. Dont play it.
I had a horrible 3 days. Like just _horrible_
This video legit cheered me up for 16 minutes.
I remember going to the arcade with my dad (PuttPutt, Mountasia, or Nickelmania).
My dad loved the coin pushers and he was always just as excited as me to buy some prizes.
We'd split our winnings and Id get a brown bag full of kiddie nailpolishes, "chinese finger cuffs", and mini plastic toys, and hed get anything starwars related and a bunch of oversized candy.
Really sweet memories, brought me back.
I liked the music too. And It's always great to see someone truly enjoying something so wholesome and simple.
I feel stupid for finding so much comfort in this video but I did so thanks lol.
You should make more. You're really good at making them & its a plus that you truly enjoy most of the things you review.
These wouldn't be the same with a different host.
Why do you feel stupid for finding comfort in thus video? Don't. From the way you're talking, it sounds like your dad passed. If so, I'm sorry. Enjoy the coin pusher videos and DON'T FEEL STUPID! OK? If you like, I'll tell you what reminds me of my dad.
15:28 I'd love a 15 minute video just talking about the Big Bass Wheel, it's my all time favorite arcade machine and I've had some insane luck with it
My 10 year old brother has had absolutely nuts luck on it too! He once got the jackpot twice in a row iirc, either that or only with one spin in between the two jackpots. I always have shit luck when I play tho lol
@@absolutetrash2271 I walked past one once and it just randomly decided to spit out 2000 tickets
@@Karmy. Wtffff you got some insane luck there
@@absolutetrash2271 ikr
Y4123 My cousin (who was 5 at the time) literally won the jackpot twice in the same day. I don’t think I ever got above 45 tickets, lol.
These videos are so homey. Also Pop the Lock = REAL shit
Honestly one of the few "modern" arcade games I can stand
5:44 this transition was so seamless i almost fell out of my chair
hey! it's nickleback!
I love these arcade videos!!! They are oddly soothing? This arcade is now my happy place lol.
"I go to the arcade for some much needed rest. I also work while I'm there."
Never sleep
Pleaaaase make more content like this. Your channel has so much variety and charm, its a huge rebound from the gaming-only content.
My best friend and I spent a lot on money on the sponge bob one lol!! We wanted all of the cards! Btw we are both 24 rofl!
Hey, you can have fun at any age! ❤ That just means u guys had better skills lol
Amber Sweet lol your right! And I don’t mean to brag but we did get all of them 😉
@@joy411fulwhat did it cost you?
Y'know, I don't know what it is, but somehow, no matter what kind of content you make, it's always entertaining. From gaming, to cooking and to this, it's always good. Keep up the good content, Ian.
So did Jesus and Keanu Reeves combine just to form this guy

Liked the vid solely for that "E" moment. I bursted in laughter at that.

Some local restaurants in my small hometown always had some real deal coin pushers (i.e. cash in , cash out) . My grandma always gave us quarters to play. She also taught us how to play poker and blackjack. Man I miss her...and proper arcades
Please do a video on the arcade prizes or one that you're saving up for.
Word. Also, let me know if you find any good skeeball somewhere. I'll hop a fuckin' plane for a solid skeeball lane, with wooden balls instead of the scuffed-up pitted plastic ones.
‘Wanna see me pop the lock?’
‘Wanna see me do it again?’
i used to work at an arcade with a wizard of oz machine, one thing i remember was that the chances of toto dropping were also determined by how many toto cards were redeemed the day before. at the start of the day, we would count up how many had been redeemed, and if that number went above a certain amount we would put the rest at the top so they had basically 0 chance of dropping. idk if that's what's going on at your arcade (the one i worked at wanted ppl to win as little as possible lol) but it's a possibility.
3:53 Pretty much all arcade machines are rigged, so in all likelihood it is indeed the machine's fault that you've yet to win that Plasma Orb
yeah, I've always suspected those key pushers to move just a tiny bit more after you hit the stop button to make it less likely to get it in the right spot.
Key Master is rigged, but the machine in the video is actually an all-skill version called Prize Locker. There's no payout rate, but it's significantly harder because there's a tiny little notch in one spot at the top of the hole and the key has to fit precisely in that notch.
I’ve only won a Prize Locker once and I’m pretty sure it was dumb luck... wasn’t too great of a prize unfortunately
Ticket and Redemption machines are rigged, yes. But actual arcade machines are not cause they are REAL video arcade machines and not stupid ticket garbage.
This is my favorite show on PBS
I love arcades. I wish I had one near me. The atmosphere is so chill and relaxed. The sound of the games and the neon lights, it's just so delightful.
You think this is a real arcade? Lol
@@AzrialAlaria how is it not? please explain.
The Gary is not the rarest, there is a very rare Flying Dutchman.
I would love to see a review on the rail shooters! The games where you get a prop gun and aim at the screen. Time Crisis, Terminator, Laura Croft etc.
They’re super tough but it feels great holding that toy gun and blasting enemies away. It would be awesome to hear your take on them.
This video was pretty great! I’m a huge Dave and Busters fan so it’s sweet to see one of my favorite RUclipsrs play the same games as me.
I got the chance to briefly visit an arcade just a few days ago and spent most of my time at a Marvel Avengers coin pusher thanks to this video. I walked away with cards for Captain America, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange, which I considered prizes in their own right because of how rarely I get to go to arcades. So thanks for introducing me to this kind of game, BrutalMoose!
As often as I get to go to arcades (almost never) I, too, would've kept the cards. 🃏
I have a soft spot for coin pushers, as I played them at the state fair growing up!
11:59
You hear that? Sounds like...
SMALL AMENITIES
Did I mention that we have SMALL AMENITIES?!
BONUS ITEMS
I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard that and thought that XD
sounds more like TONY HAWK RIDE to me
Ian you are a gem, and I love you very much. You are probably the most diverse youtuber and you're great at all of it.
Back in my day, you got to keep the coins a coin pusher pushed off the edge, and they weren't tokens, they were quarters, but 1990s quarters, which are worth about $5 adjusted for inflation.
Please for the love of GOD nobody tell him about the konami marble droppers
you just did
Oh no. Not The Konami.
I remember playing one of those at a convention many a year ago.
That was a hell of a day.
Pachinko was on a G1 Power Rangers episode. Gambling!
I love these videos. They're super cozy. Pretty much everything you make is good in some way, shape, or form!
I feel like a big part of that is his music choice
Thank you for this, something about arcades are just super relaxing, been too poor to go to one, and this video made my day. I hope you make more!
Super interesting video, and the music was great. I'd love to see you review more arcade stuffs
I wasn't expecting this to become a series!! Awesome! I can't wait to see more, keep it up~
The songs you picked for each coin pusher were prefect. You put so much detail and work in your videos and I love it.
Mr. Moose, I feel like someday you might wanna open your own oldstyle classic arcade
I've won on one of those Treasure Chest machines, I got a 360 version of DMC: Devil May Cry.
In Hindsight, not a good prize, but $60 for $20.
@I'm a fuckin rock. it's ok as a standalone game. DMC game? Really bad
Man you got scammed you should be paid to play that game. Definitive edition is ok though
I've been binge-watching a lot of your videos lately, and you are becoming my favorite youtuber. I love your reviews, and your humor is endearing and so funny! Thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts!
These videos are my life blood now. I just really wanna know how much you spend in a session and what you redeem with the points
The key master style games have a payout system and will slightly jump the plunger if your in the right position, if it's not due to pay out
these are my favorite videos because theyre just so chill and relaxing and calming, i think this is what asmr is like
Me: *trying to sleep*
SpongeBob: tOkEnS
I've really been loving your videos here lately Ian! Keep it up!
More and more this video has become important during this pandemic. A reminder of what it was like to be in an arcades just even a year ago.
I read this as "arcane delights" and thought, "I _knew_ he was a wizard!"
Nobody:
Spongebob coin pusher: *T O K E N S*
Sometimes I just watch these for the easy listening piano sections. I adore that kind of music.
I've not seen such bravery...
