    A lot of people curious about my GTI: It's a 2022 Mk8 Autobahn Launch Edition where VW only made 700 of them in that color (Pomelo) and configuration, comes w/ a numbered plaque and letter from the President of VW of America. It's also a manual transmission, which as you know is getting phased out worldwide in many cars. During the pandemic I traded my previous 2013 GTI Autobahn with only 50K miles on it because dealers were offering so much $$$. This new 2022 Mk8 model is nice cuz it's got adaptive chassis control and sport suspension, electronic slip differential, larger infotainment display, lane assist, etc... etc... Definitely a nice upgrade from the 2013 model!

    Blockbuster is a show of what the 90s and early 2000s really were, People would venture out for something as small as a movie to watch on the weekend and it would be such a fun thing to do as a child. Miss those good times!

    I think the tv on top of the dragons layer Unit was a smart idea because when it was brand new it would get a lot of people to see the amazing graphics and probably drew a lot of people to play it Just because they wanted to see how they made a game with such beautiful graphics at that time.

Was laughing watching your dilemma with the gas station, I live in a small town in a small country and there's 3 within a 5 minute drive from my house 😂 Blockbuster Video gives me so much nostalgia, pure childhood memories of video shops in general. Saturday nights always felt special, going to pick a film and some treats before getting a Chinese takeaway to take home with us.

    You are an absolute natural out in public and I love that you guys are so respectful and friendly with the people you meet.
    Taking the time to show things like the crater and the travel and just other things beside the game stores is such a nice change of pace from most gaming focused channels.

    Thank you for capturing a picture of a dragon layer machine with the monitor on top because I remember seeing a machine just like that in a Chuck E cheese. I was with with my father as a kid and every dragon slayer I've seen since is only is the arcade machine no monitor on top of it. So I for a long time thought I'd just imagine the monotor on top and thought it was never a thing. I just had remembered it wrong. But your video of the footage proved it for me. I can't believe I can still remember that because it's from so long ago like. I'm 43 now and that's like from when I was like 7 or 8 or 9. Oh well always a video game junkie I guess
    To expand on that memory even more I remember when I saw that game At chuck e cheese with the monitor and my jaw literally hit the floor because of how beautiful the animated graphics were and still to this day when I played a really cartoony game on any newer system. I just remember me as a little boy seeing that dragons layer unit for the first and thinking how far we had come. To get from the kind of lackluster interactivity of dragons layer to a fully interactive video game with cartoon graphics that would rival any disney movie just still makes my jaw drop that it happen in such a short time.
