    John, you are a breath of fresh air to the gaming world. I am a 45 year old gamer and I can not believe how toxic and negative the gaming community can be these days and hearing you talk with such positivity around games and gaming makes me realise why I love gaming so much. Never change dude. I look forward to your videos every week. Keep up the amazing work man.

    1999 was a rough year for me, I was heavily entrenched in graduate school and my mother was dying of lung cancer and my dad was losing his mind, literally and figuratively. BUT…I remember that video games saved my sanity, and 1999 was an amazing year for games. If it weren’t for video games, I don’t think I would have made it through 1999.

    John, I went back to my childhood home to attend my sisters wedding in Michigan. I ended up finding my original NES, DS, Xbox, Sega Genesis in the box, and Xbox 360. I put them all in a suitcase and took them back home in San Diego. Watching your show inspired me to gather all those relics so now im going to create shelves in my home arcade to display them. I got that NES when I was 6 years old, its awesome that its covered in duct tape on the power cord and whatnot. I have a new found appreciation for well worn gaming systems. I think its amazing because these things were my own and defined some of the funnest days of my childhood into adulthood! Thanks for keeping that childlike enthusiasm for gaming!

    I totally get what you mean when you say you feel genuinely happy walking into the room and seeing parts of your collection, and recalling the memories that go with them. It's one of the great joys of collecting. I've had to pause getting new stuff lately until I catch up with with what I've already bought. I got, but have yet to play, FF Pixel Remaster collection, Grandia HD collection, Tactics Ogre, Metroid Prime remastered, and Chrono Cross. After 150ish hours in TotK, it's finally time to start making my way through some of these other games.

    Interesting to hear about Suikoden. It was also the first PS1 game that I bought ever when I first got my PS1 (which was also used) after selling my dinner at school for months to save up the money. I'd seen it sitting on a shelf in a video store and liked the look of the box art and the general graphics on the back. Seem to remember a scene in-game on the back with a windmill on it that peaked my curiosity. I got it in the end and it was the first game that got me into turn-based RPG's after struggling with the concept a few years prior. All the RPG's I played were action based generally until that point.
