Christmas Haul 2024
Do you remember when you would see your friends right after opening the presents? The excitement of sharing what you got and playing with friends for the rest of the day. I miss that. Being an adult has put a strain on time for things like that, but with the help of TH-cam and all of you, we can bring that excitement back. So, What did you get?

Ahh nice amount of games 😁 Hope you enjoy them all and had a great holiday!! I’m still waiting on my Persona CE’s from LRG that were meant to make it in Dec but got pushed to Jan 😞 But stuff that actually was given to me over the holidays was the legacy of Kain remasters which is a series I’ve never touched but can’t wait to dive into eventually. Technically a gift more so to myself but also ended up ordering a much stronger laptop to hopefully host live content for Brandon which is exciting. Was a tonne of fun being present on his channel this year, we gotta get you back on at some point!! Love hearing your thoughts about the goings on in gaming. ✊
I'm going to be honest with you. You lost me at 80 hours and you're probably halfway there 😂😂😂😂 Nonetheless, it looks like a really cool game and I'm sure Scott appreciated the shout out on astral chain. He really wants me to play it it and I think I would really enjoy it.
I hope you play Astral chain soon.
You know I hadn't even heard of LaserDisc until you pick some up at SEGE or did the video from the thrift store that you had picked up. Indiana Jones. I have no idea which one came first LOL. I had to look up to see if The secret garden was worth anything sealed and sadly it's only but 10 bucks. Still super neat, expensive or not. It's an amazing collection for sure
@@RetroRivals home movie format wars is an interesting topic. It is funny how often Sony lost.
The resolution is about 450p. A little under the standard 480p at the time. Often times the LDs would get the safe transfer that was mean for the VHS copy. Hence why they would be a softer image. They’d often tailor to what VHS would look like since that version would sell way more copies. Nice collection man 🤙🏻
Cool looking game I’ll have to check it out. Maybe we’ll get lucky and limited run will release it.
@scottburns9497 I hope it gets a rlease but honestly LRG is not one of my favorite publishers that I want to give money to.
Remember watching a fair bit of Laser Disc movies in the 90s. The resolution must have been more than 240p. I mean, standard VHS is 480p. The pictures were crystal clear, and you could frame by frame to get to a specific point in the film, with no blurring or the effects that plagues VHS. Nice to see a consumer "report" like this....
@jmp01a24 it is a hard medium to nail down, but I am happy to have the movies that I got.
@moandaindesigns as one should. Everyone got their own preferences, so should you. Unless one is a hoarder :)
Speaking of failed innovations... have you ever seen HD VHS? It came out after DVDs.
This was a beautiful, beautiful video. I will never tire of hearing the story about your grandmother and what she sacrificed to give you guardian Legends. It's so heartwarming and so pure and so kind! We are happy to have games right now to distract us. Strike has not been easy and thankfully I have Metroid Dread to take my mind off things
I own 2 laser disc movies. Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. I know shocking, right?
Sometimes the games that you play during important times of your life become some of your favourites. I’m thankful for Unicorn Overlord being awesome and helping me the last couple weeks. Great video thanks for sharing your personal stories.
@@scottburns9497 I really need to get to that game ASAP. I got the special edition version with the card game.
That's so crazy we had similar videos around the same time. We have a family event that is currently happening so that's where mine came from. I loved hearing about how they helped you.
What a fantastic and touching video!!! I can't wait to get into Cyberpunk! I know you've already sold me on it... but you continue to sell it more and more
@@RNGGamerYT Thanks, I was just feeling punchy and wanted to just say what I wanted to say.
Videos like this are always special. Thank you so much for sharing this - your grandmother sounds like an incredibly special person. And truly, I'm proud of you for sharing your story about why CyberPunk is so important to you - it takes a lot of bravery to open your heart like this. Love you, brother. I'm going to do a VR on this one. :)
@@SquarePegs I can not wait to see it.
Sometimes I think the story that goes along with the game is just as if not even more important than the game itself. The story about your grandma getting you Guardian Legend hits home for me because I know my family was exactly the same. Games and toys were gifted to my sister and I at great sacrifice too. Money just wasn’t there all the time. Great story Moandain. This was a great video dude! 🤙🏻 PS…I loved CyberPunk too!
Thanks, I am a little surprised how the video turned out after doing it so fast.
Ever have a dream where you think you published a video? Well I did, and now here it is a day late because I had to slap a quick edit together. I hope you like it.
Four years later and this is still helping!!!!!
I can't believe how lucky I am to have helped so many people.
@moandaindesigns definitely, thank you! It wasn't reading my PS3 games, and this breakdown helped heaps. Your video is saved for future use as my ADHD brain will need to rereview it often lol.
I just remember passing up that 3d dot game for $5. I could kick my own ass 😂😂😂 I know that has zero to do with this video, but I've never played that series you're talking about and the title made me think of that.
Never pass up on a cheap game.
I remember getting .Hack Infection and being blown away. I never played the rest though and I think they go for a pretty penny nowadays.
I haven't played them either.... they've been sitting in the backlog forever
Lithium grease is not recommended for plastics, can cause premature degradation. Silicone grease is a better. Nice video.
@windycity2123 good to know.
Team Innocent are the best game of pc-fx. I recommend a good japanese to play this tittle
It is on my wish list bur I am hoping for a Fan translation.
A TH-cam veteran through and through! Congrats on 7 years dude. Sometimes no matter how positive you try to be life has a way of bringing the negative out on a lot of days. I remember you telling us about the pawn shop dollar bin. What a douche! Why have a dollar bin. Screw that! I would never give him a dime of business and he would get a bad yelp review too…🤬 GameStop retro is a joke…I actually have a small experience recently with them and it pissed me off too. They are too corporate to make it work well. And I can already see it failing big time.
@DrinkGameswithJosh thanks for watching. Yea the dollar bin story stung a little, and gamestop retro is just about the greed.
F@ck that pawn shop, I wouldn’t ever go back. These businesses need to learn that poor business practices lose customers. These days money is tight so I’m only spending it at places that treat there customers right.
Treat your customers right, or someone else will.
Congrats on almost 7 years and I get what you're saying. While it's best to try to stay positive, sometimes those negative experiences just bubble to the surface and talking about them and sharing your woes is a part of the human condition. It's not all rainbows and butterflies all the time and I'm sorry you've had those experiences. I would especially be pissed by the strategy guide but 2nd and Charles wasting your time sucks just as much in its own specific way. Also, we definitely feel the same way about Retro GameStop. 😢
I’m not a haggling type of person so I probably fall prey to bad deals all the time, we don’t really have as many physical stores in the UK here so I just usually end up having to purchase items online. I wish people who sold online gave more photos that’s my biggest gripe. Show me case condition, disc condition etc it’s so lacking. I’ve only experienced two sales where I’m left feeling completely done over most of my experiences fortunately have been positive. But as this hobby has boomed it seems so many more problems have been introduced like pricing going through the roof much quicker it feels like. One instance was people purchased BG1&2 remasters out and made the price stay at 60. Whereas before BG3 released you could get the collectors edition for 20ish. It just puzzles me how these prices get pushed universally 😂 Sorry to hear about your experience though it sucks for sure. Congrats on 7 years as well!! Amazing job and here’s to the next 7 ✊
@MadnlooneyJR thanks. I am happy to have made it 7 years without missing a single video. Prices are getting very out of hand and the people prospecting on top of it all are getting nuts. Knew a guy online that tried to buy 10 copies of every LRG release to just sit on them for a year and sell for 5 times the msrp.
@@moandaindesigns Very bad for the market that is. As it’s already unfortunate we are twisted to buy new LRG games in a month window as we know if we don’t and end up wanting later you have to deal with these people 😬😮💨
Oh, and congrats on 7 years!
It went by so fast.
I can't believe that guy in the pawn shop... what a jerk
Ebay prices strike again.
Congrats on almost 7 years! I saw this video and was like oh yeah it is the 15th already. lol Sharing your negative or bad experiences isn't the same as being negative. I don't think you were harping or being excessive but just stating this is what has happened to me and it stunk. Pawn shops I rarely go to these days. It just doesn't seem worth it unless I am in the area and have a lot of free time. I haven't even tried looking at Gamestop in months. The selection of physical has been lacking for years and adding retro isn't going to entice me in. I'd much rather go to my local retro shop.
@Owazrim thanks. I can't believe it is already 7 years. Anytime a store uses ebay to price things, I cringe and usually don't buy anything.
Never knew the PSVR could play 3D movies but definitely need to try it now. Cheers 🍻
@@scottburns9497 it os a lot of fun
The PSVR plays these in 3D? Really? That’s wild. I never knew that. I own a few 3D Blu Rays from back when I had a 3D TV (which was horrible IMO). I will have to check the VR option out now just to see how that goes. You have an amazing collection of 3D movies dude. Kinda surprised some of these were available as 3D still. Are they still making 3D releases? I bet MIB is a good one in 3D. Pixels too! 🤣 Seems like certain films translated much better than others. Point Break remake was a terrible movie. Ready Player One is in 3D too? That’s awesome!
I think so but they are few and far between l.
Where Hotel Mario
@giammy58 I wish! Sadly, I do not own it.
I watched the whole thing!
@@RNGGamerYT thanks for watching. It was a fun video to throw together.
Thanks for the shoutout!! Also, you're really ahead of the curve on this one. I can't believe you got it out so quickly
@@RNGGamerYT I get punchy sometimes. Just wait till the next video.
I've never watched a 3D movie at home... and only a handful in the theater. That's crazy about the PSVR. I didn't know it could do that. You may have to loan me a 3D movie to try it out
@@RNGGamerYT you got it.
Years ago I would have waited for years for a game I was really excited about. Now it would probably be a couple of months if that. If we count kickstarters It goes back to years. lol The game looks solid.
I waited for an Indi KIckstarter TG-16 game called Strife sister less than a year. The game is fun but the bonus game is amazing.
@@moandaindesigns Review video?
@@Owazrim maybe.
Halo 3 ODST is a great game. Fun playthrough and story telling. Firefight mode is tops. I still go back and play it on the 360.
Nathan Fillion is so good in the game.
I enjoy Jumper. It is entertaining enough and the jumping power is interesting. Keeping the card board shrek disk is a nice touch. The Tron movies are great. I didn't think much of the second until I rewatched it. Are they still making 3D movies?
@@Owazrim battle angel is the last one I saw.
Omg so you made the e reader case
@@nelsonyoguez5658 I made my own.
Is it a perfect fit??
@@nelsonyoguez5658 not exactly.it does keep it well protected. I think topspot123 has a video looking more into it.
This was a fantastic video response. I'm so happy to see the Raiden fighters series get a shoutout
I think We should team up on Raiden Fighters soon.
How did I know is there was gonna be a couple shmup series on this list? 😂 Great selections Moandain! Halo really was a game changer when the series first started out. I need to play through more of them but at the start it really was amazing. I am with you about FFVII. Nothing like the original.
Always cool to be old school.
Thanks for the VR. Street Fighter Cammy is my favourite too but for different reasons lol. And I really need to try some Armoured Core games. Cheers buddy 🍻
The AC series is a lot of fun, but it does require almost as much planning as the mission takes.
Nice response and picks so many iconic series to choose from indeed. Resident Evil/Metal Gear Solid/Tenchu/Mass Effect/Dishonored/Dragon Age/Bioshock/Mario/World of Warcraft/Tekken come to mind for me.🕹🖖🎮🍀
Sounds like you have a killer video reply idea.
I don't really go in for Kickstarter projects very often but when I do I just kind of set it and forget it. But yeah, I can see where the shipping address changing would be a concern.
Sadly it was not a kickstarter. Strictly limited games is a full blown company that takes an extend amount of time to release a product.
@@moandaindesigns Oh wow, well puts a slightly different spin on things. Still, nice looking game.
Hi I enjoyed your GameCube collection. But one question you mention that you didn’t have any cracks on your GameCube labels, how do you rehydrate or recondition your game disc so that there is no cracking ?
@dougfresh397 no, but I think using 303 would be a good step. I think mine are all in good shape because of the environment I store them in, and most of my games don't have the acrylic paint.
I don't think it's a matter of wanting to wait for a game that long as much as is, you don't have a choice 🤷🏼♀️ Let me get back to you when we've ever get Chained Echoes and I'll tell you if it was worth it LOL
Looking forward to your story
Hey!!! Thanks for the shoutout. I was pleasantly surprised
@RNGGamerYT hey I got to give props to the local pro
I've been waiting almost 5 years for a $200 preorder from 1st Press Games. They 100% stole my money
I can't believe it finally came in 😂
@@RNGGamerYT I was very concerned
Did you ever think that you might not get it. I’m currently waiting for Chained Echoes that my mother in law ordered from me for last Christmas lol. And I got the joke 👍.
@@scottburns9497 I was afraid they would cancel the order to be honest.
Looks like a solid good time! Great music and solid gameplay. The question is…was it worth the wait for you? 🤷🏼♂️ Very cool that you got it even if you had to wait a little bit longer that you should have.
@DrinkGameswithJosh waiting two years was a lot to ask. I like the game but waiting only the one year as originally advertised would have been better.
