When I was 16 years old, I had just gotten my hands on my first DS. Looking for review videos online, i stumbled across this magnificent man and found this hilarious piece of artwork. That was 16 years ago as of this year. Now this video is as old as I was back then. Been a follower ever since. Thank you for all those years Mr. Ashen
i live in australia, and it was recently the canberra show, which is kinda of a festival. i actually saw it getting sold as a free thing you get after getting a show bag. my mum actually bought one, and i looked at the games. i got "Racing car" and "soccer".
Because he doesn't. I've watched all his stuff and... Well I don't understand. Something's missing from it that I can't quite get my head around and it stops me enjoying his later stuff quite as much.
I'm embarking on a quest to watch the first Ashens' videos in chronological order. It's daring and dangerous, but it must be done. Wish me luck, I hope I make it out all right...
both my games work, but if you switch the games WHILE it is playing, it will do what it did with your soccer. so mine isn't broken at all, and yours is broken in almost every way. =P
Ashens it's now 2020... Um could I borrow that mask and gloves?! Oh how we want those simple care free days to return, until then though yep I'm rewatching the evolution of the one & only Ashens 👍👍
Cause it’s been 15 years of your channel, I just want to say that this was the very first video that exposed me to your channel back in 2008. The 2nd video immediately after that was the Vii review. Happy 15th Anniversary Ashens!!
***** Ashens does this a hobby. Not as a full job. AVGN does it as a Job and re-uploading is viewhoarding which thank god ashens doesn't do. Basically means, gathering money off of re-uploading old content that people allready saw a long time ago.
***** Also, he propably doesn't even have these in any better format - think about the amount of videos he has published - and compare that to the rather small number of episodes AVGN has put out of his titular series.
I could've watched this video in 6th grade... I'm now 23 with a wife and daughter... fucking hell, stuart, I knew you've been around a while but not 2006... bless you for dealing with all this shit for 11 years and somehow not dying a slow and horrible death
In English, a thing is its age. So, the sofa *is* 8 years old. (You would not believe how many times I had to be corrected when learning Spanish, where things have their ages.)
Hm, looking at the thing, it comes with some kind of casing, two screens, some kind of storage, and some buttons. Though I can guess the screen functionality is limited, It would be fun to take apart and try to make something that isn't broken from it..
3:55 Maybe the other game goes in the bottom screen. It can't see that there is Street Fighter there, so it thinks there is Soccer in the bottom screen. _That is a very strange detection method though._
interestingly, he's putting on all that protection to keep his ears from bleeding...yet of all the things he's protecting, the ears are the only ones that are still exposed
On the inside. Obviously, the "screens" (game cartridges, I believe) should not be removable and shouldn't have a tab above it. The two circles at the top on either side of the screen should be the same distance from the sides of the screen as the bottom circles. As a matter of fact, they should actually be squares. On the right side, there should be one power button, not two whatever-the-hell they are buttons. Amusingly, the amount of holes for the speakers is correct. I still want one.
This is so old that at the time of the video's release the DS Lite had not yet released in North America. RUclips was not even a year old. Wow.
Woah
> Puts on gloves
> Puts on mask
> Puts on goggles
'Now my ears won't bleed!'
Name Accurate!
Again, looks the part...
*the lid closes on my fingers*
Oh...
THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE GAME WHERE PEOPLE THROW THEIR OWN ARMS AND LEGS OFF.

I've been watching ashes since I was like 8 or 9, I'm 20 now. Damn
"It's not gonna make my ears bleed"
Ironically, he puts on stuff to protect everything except his ears > w >
Someone did a comment the same as yours years ago lol :-P
I wont make your ears bleed :(
+SwiftFoxyGamer with you cause he likes eating animatronic foxes.
Probably intentional.
Anyone else come back here after seeing the 10 year anniversary for the nostalgia?
+Hamish Woodland Yes, I did. Relive the memories..
Aye

I did. All I realized was not a damn thing changed

well I'd never, the man behind the JoJo animations 10 years later
Ah your the one who made those pony animations.
8 years later, and nothing's changed.
Thank god not.
toshineon 9 years later
toshineon It actually kind of has. Here, he used to try. Now he just... Goes through the motions. It's kind of crap.
He has the originality, but not the soul he used to have. It just feels like he's just going through the motions now.
Because he doesn't. I've watched all his stuff and... Well I don't understand. Something's missing from it that I can't quite get my head around and it stops me enjoying his later stuff quite as much.
Watching this on my lunch break at work. It’s so bizarre to thing that I’ve been watching Ashens for over half my life. I’m 24 and this video is 15!
Same dude! Im turning 25 in october its scary lol
Thus the phrase "Pulling their arms and legs off and throwing them at each other" was born!
"An Excellent Phrase".
I was 14 when I first discovered Ashen, really happy he’s still relevant on RUclips even after doing the same content, it’s all just so entertaining!
And he’s still doing it. Pretty crazy to think that I first saw an Ashen’s video back in 2007.
@@MrSlendyMannn right i just came back for nostalgic purposes and I saw him still getting over 100,000 views a videos !!
Ashens looks like a god damn hitman
+Big Baby Blue Eyes Yes he does.
All he needs is a shaved head/face and a bar code tattooed on the back of his neck and he's Agent 47
@@MysteriumArcanum well he has one of those things now
@@PriyaPans yup, all he needs is to shave his facial hair and get the barcode tattoo and he's officially Agent 47.
He is
Ashens was ready for coronavirus way before it even became a thing lol
He was just protecting himself from the console silly
That opening is now perfect for the current year.
Wel this system was from china
Still perfect for the current year.
@@sand0decker still perfect for current year
I was 11 when this came out.
Christ I feel old...
i was 9 ... the horror ... ze horror (dexter reference :P)
I'm STILL 11...
Christ, I wish I was born earlier.
Guess I'll just have to live with the idiots of my generation.
*Grumble*
I was Chinese.
***** shut up.
***** Why should I do that?
Ashens was prepared for COVID-19 before any of the rest of us were.
@Jaden Bissell yes
It's not "240p" you darn kids, its called "LQ".
My man is 14 years ahead with that N95
Putting on mask and protective gear, terrified of China...this video is disturbingly relevant in 2020.
Oh god WHAT?
I'm embarking on a quest to watch the first Ashens' videos in chronological order. It's daring and dangerous, but it must be done. Wish me luck, I hope I make it out all right...
I shall follow you , message me if you survived it all
!
Oh I'm safe and sound, no worries. I have reached the year 2011 without problems, or so I think...
I have already started join you in this quest :)
Walking down this road you see the markings of those who’ve come before, it fills you with DETERMINATION
His old videos are great
can it please be 2006 again? or 2012 at least so i can not fuck up in high school
No, it can not, that would be impossible
Or 2014 so I don’t get a permanent miiverse banned
This video will be 10 years old in 6 months :O
5 more months!
4 months
+Tenzin Tsering yep :D
+Alexandre Boucher 2 months
One month
I was 11 when this video was uploaded, I am 28 now, damn the time flies.
2009 I was gifted an iPod touch first gen. Countless nights sneaking ashens videos under the covers. Pure nostalgia.
"What's that?"
"It's a gas mask."
"Why are you wearing it?"
"It's for the gas." "What gas?"
"This gas." * ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss *
Nicholas Tosoni I like the reference
Nicholas Tosoni doctor who reference nice
erm "ears won't bleed" covered everything except ears
We could all use those single sheets of toilet paper with pidgeon english right now
My first Ashens video
Well, welcome! Ashens likes pop stations a lot.
+Henry Hein Noo, I mean this was the first Ashens video I watched. probably back in 2007
What are the odds of finding this? Love your videos man.
Holy crap, you were 14 years too early for COVID.
watching this in 2023, and even though the tech is old, this is timeless
I love the fact that it switches the actual bloody screens. Priceless.
I love that sofa. It has been the best of sidekicks, Stuart. Never dispose of it.
Ahh, the video that started it all for me. And wow, it's been 7 years already? looking forward to many more to come. Thanks Ashens :D
Bome soux
Now it's 9 years since your comment. A longer period has passed between me commenting now than you first posted at the 7 year mark. Simply amazing.
First time watching since 06, I'm shocked it has less than a million views. Then again, a million views was a huge deal back then.
This dude is wearing an N 95 mask before it was cool
15 years old and it's still decent.
16
I was 6 when this video was published, now i'm 21
This man was already ready for corona
You were 14 years early for the pandemic lol
Fun fact: When this video came out the original Nintendo Wii was 6 months away from launch
both my games work, but if you switch the games WHILE it is playing, it will do what it did with your soccer.
so mine isn't broken at all, and yours is broken in almost every way. =P
@@denpagirl08 that comment was 12 years ago I doubt they even remember 😆
Have you tried turning it off and on
Oh my god I just turned 20 and I've been watching this man for 14 years. Good lord
"I am terrified of their government" FREE HONG KONG!
Ashens it's now 2020... Um could I borrow that mask and gloves?! Oh how we want those simple care free days to return, until then though yep I'm rewatching the evolution of the one & only Ashens 👍👍

Bloody hell mate you've been watching him forever
was this REALLY 8 years ago :|:|:|:|
Wearing PPE before wearing PPE became a part of daily life for many.
0:21 huh Ashens was already prepared!
Also being terrified of the Chinese Government too
For some reason I just remembered this video from my high school years. Glad to see old RUclips is still here
Oh my god
Its like I'm viewing an important historical document
I remember this video having high quality. Holy shit, our PC monitors used to be that good.
Hey ashens I love your reviews even your very first ones are very good. Keep em coming.
I still remember when every knock off console you did was basically a tiger handheld with a modern console shell
almost 15 years later, a comment for this video has been made by a stoned teenager.
Fun fact - he didn't change at all..
These pandemic era videos seem to have dropped in quality...
🤦♂️
@@coolia2001 I hadn't considered that... I suppose you're right.
You've gotta give him credit for keeping the gloves on the whole video. Maybe that one really is dangerous
yep!
=P
“It won’t make my ears bleed” * forgets ear plugs *
The mask wearing predicted 2020!!!
2009-2010 to be more precise.
@@holdenmenard1312 Correct!
I remember watching this upon release. It's actually what sparked my interest into ASMR. So strange. Anyway. Happy 17 years and kicking
Damn I've been watching ashens since his very first video... insane that that's 8 years ago :D
How does it feel to be on WatchMojo 15 year old video? This is a good video despite being 15 years old and wanting to fall asleep to his calm voice 😴
I didn't know Simon Pegg had a youtube channel????
Discount Simon Pegg, actually.
"This time... It won't make my ears bleed"
*Proceeds to wear everything but ear muffs.*
Only because I'm terrified of their government. lol
You made this video when I was 4 .. I’m 20 now. Wow, but great video I love your humor
2020 is going to be awesome!
0:24
Excellent normal scene of 2020
Never knew you started RUclips so EARLY!
O_O this is one of the earliest videos I remember watching!!
Back when PSP/DS first came out
0:20 ashens going into Tesco in 2020
Retral2507 that was original material you slag
I subscribed after watching this video when it was new. There's no way I've been subscribed to this channel for 13 years. That's insane.
needs to be reupladed in any quality better than potato.
all the more reason to upload in hd.
***** Are you serious? He recorded it in 480p he can't upload it In HD, you fucktard
avgn is re-releasing his old videos in higher quality. so explain why ashens can't.
***** Ashens does this a hobby. Not as a full job. AVGN does it as a Job and re-uploading is viewhoarding which thank god ashens doesn't do. Basically means, gathering money off of re-uploading old content that people allready saw a long time ago.

Rip full volume headphone users
To think that Stuart wasn't joking when he said he was a doctor, and failed psychologist
2019?
Holy shit, this video will be 10 years old in only 2 days!
I feel old
Does that sofa has 8 years old?
In English, a thing is its age. So, the sofa *is* 8 years old. (You would not believe how many times I had to be corrected when learning Spanish, where things have their ages.)
Yeah, Google translator xD
Would be easy if you learn Spanish. What do you say?
Yeah, by the way, Spanish is hard to learn for some people. I don't know why, I speak it all the time xD
ChisponGroxo spanish is not hard to learn chico :P
Way ahead of his time with the facehole covering!
man was ready for coranvirus in 2006
Golden fuckin intro
WHY DO YOU GUYS HATE ME
Cos you are a rip off and a bad one!
Leopold Slikk lol I know.
You shouldn't be hated! You have double games, something no one else did!
This cartridge design is genius, though, if they did a few tweaks.
Hm, looking at the thing, it comes with some kind of casing, two screens, some kind of storage, and some buttons. Though I can guess the screen functionality is limited, It would be fun to take apart and try to make something that isn't broken from it..

Ahh... The good old days..... And this is the days I bought my first PSP.....
First time we see Dr Sturt Ashens on camera, years later this video is still a classic that has aged well.
The worst part that it only plays retro games.
Thank you Reddit, without you I wouldn't be here xD
I always laugh at 0:20 when the elastic strap goes "bong!" off his nose.
I wonder if you can connect the NDG to the Vii and play Fever Move or Fry Egg on it?
On the inside. Obviously, the "screens" (game cartridges, I believe) should not be removable and shouldn't have a tab above it.

I still want one.
I was six years old when this cam out, holy shit.
So you're twelve?
I was 5 wow time flies by!
How did you say the opening line with a strait face? Like, how?
