I don't usually comment on videos but I'm seeing a lot of "where's Emily" comments. I think it usually goes without saying that his private life doesn't need to be brought up. With the facts we have presented he now has Freya and they seem to mix way better. They obviously went seperate ways (Emily and Elliot) and I respect him for not plastering that all over the internet, that's proper maturity. I wish you and Freya all the best for the future champ!
I wondered about it, because I don't think it was obvious and didn't want to make an assumption. People can have friends of the opposite gender, and it may have hurt someones feelings if assumptions were made. But its clear now. Freya seems great, welcome, I hope you bring each other a lot of happiness. I also wish Emily all the best, as she was a small part of this channel.
Still living on a building site. Will be for a couple of months. Thanks for sticking with me! All will be back on track soon. Hope you enjoyed Freya’s guest appearance in the video! Was her birthday a couple weeks back so we had been very much anticipating these bits for a while. Thanks all for understanding the need for a few sponsored videos. I’ll get there with the house and then will chill out on sponsorships. Thanks! Elliot
If people don't like the sponsorships then it's easy enough to skip a few seconds past them. I'd rather you be able to finish the house and keep making content by taking them. Take it easy mate.
So she really is called Freya. I was thinking I missunserstood that the whole time😂. Like the godess. Very cool. I have noproblem with the sponsorships at all.
The stussy shirt is from a custom line from the 90s couldn't find a exact year but what I could find there quite expensive only one I found was $159 CAD
@@rhen1215 Sometimes things don't work out. Protip: When someone is in a relationship online and they quit showing up in videos and the uploader doesn't say why, don't bring it up. It probably didn't go well.
You are one lucky man Elliott! Freya really loves you, it's so apparent. Having someone close to you who supports you in your passions as well it's something truly special. Keep at it I can't wait to see your success grow 5 years from now!
Just watching this video it's evident how even when she's not as excited as you she seems super happy that YOU are excited. This is definitely the things a couple should look for in each other. This was a fantastic video! I'll continue watching and support all the sponsored stuff even after your house is done. You're giving us wonderful content so it's not too big a deal to watch a minute worth of sponsor spot. Plus I'm sure all the extra money you can put away for later is always nice!
3:47 Freya: "Would you say that that's worth 50 pounds more than the knock-off devices that you can get online?" Elliot: "Yeah." Freya: "Yeah, I would as well. 100 percent." Elliot: "Right, so the next thing we're going to look at, this is a knock-off Game Boy Micro..." 😂 I found this exchange too funny.
Did you ever play the tetris type game for the snes bazooka, I can't remember the name of it I just remembered thinking it was like a 3d version of tetris..
Damn that virtual boy though ❤️ Enjoying the videos ft Freya! All the best with the house, I love whatever you post and am just grateful you still find the time to record for us despite the chaos! All the best, looking forward to the next one
hah, if that's the same GBA I have, it's just a normal GBA with a hole drilled in it and some wires soldered on to the PCB. It's neat but aside from the sticker on the back, not too unique.
Enjoy the Virtual Boy! I love mine! The chemistry between you and Freya is dynamite! I seriously wish you two the best! I hope Emily is doing good too. The fact that she loves Tetris, retro video games/consoles, and you she's a keeper Elliot! When you both like or share a hobby, it makes the relationship a lot better!
It’s nice to see both of you in usual unpacking video format after cool vlog formats from your trip. Picture and emotions looks very fresh in this video man, gonna wait for more your creations as always!
I have an NOS Nintendo Virtual Boy, in the original box. I bought it off a clearance rack at Walmart (Wally World) in 1996. The box is rough... really bad shelf wear. The contents are all brand new/mint. If I recall correctly, it came with a Golf game cartridge. I bought a bunch of game cartridges for it off the same clearance rack, most are factory sealed. I bought it as a graduation gift for a high school graduate & he surprisingly declined the gift... So I tossed it on a shelf in my closet. I powered it up once in about 2010 to see if it was still operable. Which means that I had to put a game cartridge in it, so that cartridge will have scratches on the pins & the cartridge slot will also... Except for the condition of the box, it is pristine. All the cardboard packing stuff, the plastic bags, the wire ties, the manual, the quick start guide, the junk advertisements, etc are all present. What would be the value of it?
Great video, VirtualBoy is so mythical item for me. Never have seen it in real life nor did any of my friends had it back in the day. Or anybody I knew of. Wasn't really advertised too much in magazines/TV in here as far as I remember. Can't wait to see a video about the thing, too bad it's pretty hard to film the actual gameplay properly. :( And Freya's so cute and happy girl, I'd love to see her in your future videos too. Great content!
Look forward to seeing the Virtual Boy Video. I was visiting family in the USA in summer 1996. Bought one with a few games for about £50. I could only play it for about 5 minutes at a time because of nausea, motion sickness and headaches. Eventually sold it second hand for about £150 to get a Sega Saturn. One the one hand I really regret this decision on the other I got something that I could play without feeling violently sick. But it looks amazing.
As an 80s kid and 90s teen, Stussy in Canada was what got me to draw those 'Cool S' doodles in every single notebook at school. Apparently that logo has nothing to do with Stussy though despite everyone thinking that at the time, it's a sort of Mandella Effect as it predated the company by decades.
Something interesting about the link cable port on the Virtual Boy is Nintendo planned the release a link cable but the system wasn't on the market long enough, so they never ended up releasing it officially, great vid by the way.
I got a virtual boy for Christmas in 1995 or 1996 and played through the nausea for a year until I got tired of it. I need to get to my parents' house and dig that stuff out.
I don’t know who Emily is according to other comments but bro I’m digging you and freya. She is adorable and you are just right for her my man. Keep the love goin bro!
Hey Elliot love your vids :) Will continue to watch your vids. Really enjoy them. I was watching some of your older vids where you repaired a watch and a cassette player. Loved them!
You should have her on more she has her own knowledge about merch brands and clothing and honestly i learned alot about a brand ive loved and known for years
The Virtual Boy was slated to get a link cable similar to the Game Boy, but due to poor reception and sales the concept was axed and the item never saw production. I did hear news a few years back that someone was trying create their own, but I never heard what became of it.
Ooooh so you and Freya are officially a couple? That's great and I wish you so much great things together. Also... that means you now have a toothbrush for cleaning of old Gameboys 😁
I remember buying a virtual boy about a year after they came out at a discount price because nobody liked them at the time. I loved tennis and pinball/ for the system.
Well, the Virtual Boy and Game&Watch were a true steal! I remember when I was a kid and show the VB in magazines for the first time and my mind was blown away! Even when it turned out to be a massive flop, every time one was mentioned I was thinking how ahead of their time Nintendo was. I hope one day to be able to play with one as well ;)
Nintendo never did anything with the system link but you can get fan made cables and I think they might have made things homebrew games the cable's are like $60 though
the only time i’ve ever got to play with a virtual boy was a few years ago at my local shop at the time, some guy was trading one in and they plugged in it to test it out and were taking turns checking it out. right before they started to put it away i was like “aye, u mind if i try?” and they actually let me, pretty crazy, i got to play mario tennis hahaha everything was so red
Man…watching y’all react to the Virtual Boy makes me feel really old. Also, Freya is going to steal your channel with all that charisma mate, good for you. 😉
That credit card Tetris game looks awesome, what a cool little thing. And wait... you got that Virtual Boy in that condition (looks new) with games for less then £200 !!! Absolute bargain, great buy, amazing.
Love my Virtual Boy, I've backed the HyperFlash32 card which is awesome flash cart with eink graphics and menu. Some great pickups, interested to see what is on that Dev cart too.
The condition of the Virtual Boy is genuinely inane, looks like it was just bought at Toys R Us in 1995 and opened for the first time. Honestly an insane deal for 250 USD, considering how in the states you have even like the worse condition Virtual Boys going for at least 200. The absolute care some of the stuff is handled with that I've seen some people get from yahoo auctions is insane, it's just crazy to see the standards for something sold as a "junk" item are higher than what would be considered mint in the west.
Just because because people asked that doesn't mean people are going to pay that and when u went to the sold listing thats more reasonable but those sales are probably a few years old as the prices have been dropping lately
I hope your VB dosent have the ribbon cable problem. (flickering screen) I play my VB about 2 times a year and everytime i have to repair it. Its better to just have the VB like statue :D
I have the gba and hello kitty Gameboy didn't know they were rare and mario the juggler i have have them for years at this point the game and watch was the first I got and by far my favorite game and watch im addicted it to lol
17:31 It's funny to see that you bought a VB and don't even know, that there was no official Link cable or a official Game with Link Cable support ever released for the System.

Agree 100%, there's always bound to be some kids that think that kind of stuff is funny.
I wondered about it, because I don't think it was obvious and didn't want to make an assumption. People can have friends of the opposite gender, and it may have hurt someones feelings if assumptions were made. But its clear now. Freya seems great, welcome, I hope you bring each other a lot of happiness. I also wish Emily all the best, as she was a small part of this channel.
That explains so much.
It really does look like a really good match

love your videos 🤗
You have inspired me to start my own youtube channel. Good luck to all new youtubers!😎

Nicee, Ofcourse We Love Your Videos
So she really is called Freya. I was thinking I missunserstood that the whole time😂. Like the godess. Very cool.
I have noproblem with the sponsorships at all.
I dare you to go to a coffee shop and just sit down and start playing the virtual boy
YES LOL
buy me one and I will do it
The stussy shirt is from a custom line from the 90s couldn't find a exact year but what I could find there quite expensive only one I found was $159 CAD
y’all are so cute, lol. extremely cozy video 💞
I watch your video's
Thanks haha x

yea is it just me or has Emily disappeared?
Imagine in 5 years he has a million or more subs and then theres us who have watched from the beginning watching with delight.
he has a virtual boi, he's officially a nintendo nerd
I had one like so and played Mario Bros. Tennis. Too bad my sister's horse around in my room and broke it on the floor. You can imagine how I felt...
if this is the case, than im maybe the bigger nerd here, because i own 3 VBs (one used, one US boxed and one JP boxed) :p

Finally, I needed a couple more ways to play Tetris
Lol
Did you ever play the tetris type game for the snes bazooka, I can't remember the name of it I just remembered thinking it was like a 3d version of tetris..
Damn that virtual boy though ❤️
Enjoying the videos ft Freya!
All the best with the house, I love whatever you post and am just grateful you still find the time to record for us despite the chaos! All the best, looking forward to the next one
The emotion on both , while opening the items, is amazing...what a good couple guys
hah, if that's the same GBA I have, it's just a normal GBA with a hole drilled in it and some wires soldered on to the PCB. It's neat but aside from the sticker on the back, not too unique.
More Freya included in videos? You two are a delight together.
The episodes with Freya are like watching a good romcom. Good to see you two interact!
Probably one of the best Sendico videos so far (and not just because you got a virtual boy). The genuine excitement from both of you made the video.
I think Freya needs her own channel. She has great energy, and you two are fantastic together.
She makes this video better. :D
Enjoy the Virtual Boy! I love mine! The chemistry between you and Freya is dynamite! I seriously wish you two the best! I hope Emily is doing good too. The fact that she loves Tetris, retro video games/consoles, and you she's a keeper Elliot! When you both like or share a hobby, it makes the relationship a lot better!
This ending up being an unexpected Makho crossover made me smile
Freya's energy along side yours is so fun to watch! Love these unboxing videos :) keep them coming!
Imagine a Metroid Dread Prototype is on that DS module
That would be hella bruh moment
dont pull my heart strings like that
It’s nice to see both of you in usual unpacking video format after cool vlog formats from your trip. Picture and emotions looks very fresh in this video man, gonna wait for more your creations as always!
The two notches on the top of the VB are to hold the game dust cap as well if you didn't know
the amount of love in the body language in this video is so charming
LOVE IT

My favorite part,"wow bubble wrap!!" 😆😆👍👍
I’m not sure, but that hello kitty game boy might be absolutely mint

It seems like Freya shares a genuine interest in the same things as Elliot and knows Her Retro Tech
Congratulations on getting the Virtual Boy, great unboxing video. You two work well together on camera, keep up the good work :)
So much great stuff. Again. Very cool!

Wowee you guys look reallly happy together, made a great video. A joy to watch
What an amazing dynamic couple you make! So enthusiastic and passionate together. The chemistry is awesome. So happy for you both 💕👍

It's crazy watching you guys open stuff that was all the rage when I was a little kid.
Noice video with some lovely bits of tech my friend!
You and Freya match so good together!
A couple that likes old games! 👍
You should have her on more she has her own knowledge about merch brands and clothing and honestly i learned alot about a brand ive loved and known for years
I saw a virtual boy box and knew this was going to be good :)

Love the VB, would love to see more content around it since it is arguably part of the Game Boy family
Nice unboxing! thanks for all the content you share, it has really inspired me to make my own mods to screens of various gameboy consoles that I have.
I remember buying a virtual boy about a year after they came out at a discount price because nobody liked them at the time. I loved tennis and pinball/ for the system.

I can’t wait to see you actually play on the virtual boy! i’ve never seen anyone use it and i’ve always wondered how it plays!
"Fun with Freya" should be a segment on The Retro Future. Not sure what it would be but I'm sure it would be awesome.
Freya and Elliot both in the thumbnail. Yeah this video is gonna bang
Man…watching y’all react to the Virtual Boy makes me feel really old.

£200 for that virtual boy bundle was such a steal.

i hope you give us more you & Freya!! :D Its cool to see videos of yourself only BUTTT it wouldn't hurt to see someone else with you hahaha!! ^^
Freya is super cool! You definitely should do some more videos together!

I use to have a Virtual Boy and my two favorite games for it was Galactic Pinball and Wario World. You should play them.
Congrats on the Virtual Boy purchase! Take good care of it, they are very sensitive with those gyrating mirrors inside.
Virtual boy was so ahead of its time, it looks amazing! Dream to play one of these someday
And I'm loving the content, keep up the great job, good luck with the house!
7:49 Do you say domeeno's instead of dominos?
I have that Tetris kinda bumped it didn’t come modern and classic Tetris formats
My favourite RUclips couple love the banter xD
I get a feeling she likes Tetris
That virtual boy is insane. $200 is an amazing deal for that
As always great video! I'm impressed with the figure of the video title. at this point elliot have enough things to put a museum :)
Hey, welcome to the family Freya
This video is so cozy. Just two nerds looking at nerd things. Love it ❤️
The next ds you need on your collection is the Matte black McDonald's DSi dedicated to Japanese McD's employees

Purple and pink are my fav colours.
Freya is absolutely precious

I play my VB about 2 times a year and everytime i have to repair it.
Its better to just have the VB like statue :D
have you ever been to sark
Please tell me Freya's appearances will be more frequent? You two really bounce off of eachother, hilarious!
I have the gba and hello kitty Gameboy didn't know they were rare and mario the juggler i have have them for years at this point the game and watch was the first I got and by far my favorite game and watch im addicted it to lol

Do you have the Rumble FX for the Game Boy Advance and can you do a Review on it?
Looking forward to your version of POP Station Watch
I like her enthusiasm
Say what you will about Elliot's personal life, I'm just glad we have someone who can actually play Tetris
