I think so too. It was fun for the past few years I just feel like my collecting habits are slowly morphing into the next phase. Appreciate you Matt! 🤙🏻
I was subscribed to most of the VGM box guys and that’s how I found your channel. Nowdays it’s just you and Aggie Thunderpaw. I guess I’ll follow your collection journey even though I’m secretly jealous that you have more NES games than me LOL
It’s the end of an era 😢 Sad to see this series come to an end but excited to see what you do in its stead! A couple of awesome games as always my friend!
Life is forever changing. It was time to see what I could do differently with this money every month I think. Either way it’s been a lot of fun to do the unboxings and VGM are a good company. Hoping to translate this dough into a heavy every couple months to help get the two sets finished. Cheers Steve! 🍻 Hopenlife is good my friend. 🤙🏻
Here for the whiskey!! Okay, and games too, ha ha. Had a friend think I'd get into Terraria but it was way back when it was still only on PC. Never tried a console version. 50 boxes is quite the legacy with them. Excited to see what you find with that extra dough now.
And this is why i havent signed up for a service like this. Monetarily, the boxes are great. But personally, there are so many games that exist that i do not care to play/own. They are a solid service for the complete collection collectors. But if you're just looking to curate a connection based on nostalgia, this isn't the way.
I can honestly say it’s been a good run with VGM as a whole. But you are dead on point. If you are a new collector, a full set collector or are just looking for random games to check out they are fun and worthwhile. If you are looking for a completely curated collection none of these services are what you are looking for. It would be pretty cool though if they just randomly would throw in a heavy here and there and make it a true grab bag. Be like the lottery. 😂
Definitely an end of an era. Your VGM journey, in my opinion, has been really good. 50 boxes 😮 You have great logic on why you are leaving. You can now "focus" with that $50, rather than gamble. You have drfo outgrown the service 👌 2 cool games to end it tho 👍
I appreciate that dude! It’s been fun with the service but it was time to move on and try to fill some of these holes in my collection on my own. In the end I think you will agree VGM is a good company and I will miss sharing the unboxings with everyone. I will definitely still be watching everyone else’s unboxing videos though. 🍻🤙🏻
Wow 50 boxes that’s amazing , that’s over 4 years ! It’s good to take a break and see where your money is better served especially with your bigger collection it gets harder to get what one wants . Also wow 7-8 retro gaming stores within an hour is great , you should do a traveling video to these stores ! Congrats on your gaming channel growth friend !
That’s kind of what I was thinking too. It will be good to use the money for specific games I need for the sets. Yeah we have a ton of retro games stores in the area. When I say within an hour I mean an hour from home but they are all in various directions. 🤣 I have had a few of them on the channel before but would love to do a few more. Appreciate the love too my friend. 🍻🤙🏻
I have never liked whiskey but that Crooked Crab beer from Odenton looks good and that's only about 30 mins away from me. Nice presentation buddy. Sorry to hear it's the last one
Good decision and description of the VGM service. They seem like an a great company to deal with, and a way to quickly grow a collection. Whiskey is good and all, but beer is my thing! Cheers from ZA.
As a kid, camping, bingo was a normal thing on Saturday night, Bingo caller always said “G FIVE OHHHHHHHHH” 😂 you made me think of that. Loved your intro
I've said this for a while.. though I enjoy watching these types of videos, I can't justify spending that much and getting games like Wheel of Fortune, Where's Waldo, and stuff. Maybe they got a monthly beer box? LOL
It has been a fun ride over the past few years but it was time to move in another direction. PS4 would be a cool system to collect for and the greatest hits would probably be the way to go. All solid games and probably pretty affordable too. I appreciate the love dude. 🤙🏻 Hope you will continue to enjoy some of the other content out as well. 🍻
The big 50! And I've been waiting to see you open that Jameson bottle lol. I've never tried the ipa bottle but you know I love my Jameson. End of an era
A milestone unboxing event! 🤣 That Jameson bottle has been open for awhile actually. It’s solid but I am more the beer guy over the whiskey but this style is very smooth and has a solid flavor too it. It’s been fun doing the VGM’s but it was time to move on for awhile and see where else the funds can help out in the collection. 🍻🤙🏻
Wow 50 boxes - probably a great way to build a collection, but like you say getting those more refined titles are always more challenging. I’m with you on scotch/whisky- prefer beers and if I had any- I tend to ruin it by mixing it with coke. Take care Josh.
Thanks Nick! I am definitely more a beer guy too! I can see the appeal of whiskey but I am too much a light weight. 🤣 It’s been a fun run with this service but it was definitely time to move on and see what I can do on my own to keep working these sets out. 🍻
CrabTheftAuto!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Clay fighters is not a bad pull. VGM is great and I understand that they have to run a business but, like yourself I think I'm over it. I reduced my subscription but, I'm not willing to cancel my subscription just yet. I like their service, just last few months they had a ton of issues with the boxes they have been sending me out to me and not every month I have time or want to deal with asking them for a replacement.
Interesting to see that its your last VGM for the time being That Grab theft auto can looks sooo cool haha The standard clay fighter game on the n64 was awesome, it was one of the first games I rented for n64 :) a great game to have collection, the Wii u game looks pretty cool as well Will be interesting to see how you use that 50 dollars in terms of your collecting goals and stuff Great stuff mate
That would be insanity! If only these services were actual grab bags right? Imagine if they did send random heavy’s sometimes. That would be a guarantee that they would have people paying for boxes every month. 😂
Spending it on the heavy hitters or whatever it is you are missing makes sense to me as you'll be getting exactly what you want rather than a gamble as fun as that can be.
Two decent games this month but don't blame you giving the service a rest. $11 down for the month is not what you want for sure They've been good for the most part though Take it easy dude👊
I can’t complain about my overall VGM experience. But that’s kinda been the problem over the past 6 months. Way too many light boxes. If I am taking a $10-12 net loss every month that’s the equivalent of a game or two I am not adding to either set…🤷🏼♂️
Really? That is kinda wild. 🤷♂️ I loved getting the boxes but it just hasn’t been working out well for me over the past 6 months or so. Just kinda feel like I can use the same money and add specific games to my sets better this way.
Pretty good final box! I really enjoyed Clay fighter on the n64 back in the day! A really fun fighting game for me! Wow 50 boxes, that's crazy! I've decided to keep going with retro game treasure for at least a year hopefully to continue to build upon my snes, n64 and ps2 library. Hope you're doing well my friend!
Thanks bro! 🤙🏻 VGM has been good to me but I just felt it was time to move on and sink the dollars somewhere else for awhile. I had RGT for awhile too. They had there ups & downs for me but serve the same purpose in building out a collection. I will still be checking out yours and everyone else’s unboxings. I still enjoy watching them all. 🍻
Kudos on box 50. Nice games , Terraria is an amazing title. PS3/ 360/wii u levels of the game are pretty much patched to the same level. PS4/xbox one / switch / pc versions will get the final updates with all features as they have come in, basically the game continues to grow after 10 years since its initial release. As far as VGM, they are a wonderful service, I’ve been thinking of rejoining but with totally different systems , I just don’t know at this moment.
I figured it was a good milestone to close out on. I have enjoyed my time with the service but I know I can get better value for the games I am looking for on the sets and I just wasn’t interested in adding other systems and all the shovelware that comes along with them. 🤷🏼♂️ I definitely would never tell anyone not to check them out though. When I was getting a standard 5 game box and was just bulking up the full sets it was a perfect way to do it. But the low value of the last year had been tough to swallow. If you start doing them again I will definitely be watching. Cheers David! 🍻
It sure does…where does the time go right? 🤷🏼♂️ Wither way it’s been a lot of fun doing these and sharing them with the community. On to the next thing! 🍻
Terraria is a lot of fun. Interesting to see how they incorporated the game pad. Well said. Unless you keep adding systems you outgrow what they can do for you. Good idea for new vids to replace these.
Definitely not disappointed in the games they have been sending it’s just that I could get those same games and spend less on them. Either way it’s been a lot of fun sharing the unboxings with everyone. VGM is a good company I just didn’t want to change the systems up and end up with shelves full of shovelware games. I have been thinking more along the lines of focusing the collecting habits more. Still want these sets though. 😂
@@DrinkGameswithJosh Once you start focusing and avoiding shelf filler the service isn't what you need especially when you are paying more for it. Wednesday the Game Loot box replacement vid goes live. We don't have a name for it but it was a lot of fun. Have a happy Turkey day buddy.
That whiskey sounds appealing to me… 🤤😅 It makes sense why you would stop using them - I assume it’s difficult finding games that collectors need as their list of needed games shrink. VGM should probably send you an extra chotchke or something for all the publicity you’ve given them by now. 😅
It’s a great whiskey! Really smooth and has a solid flavor. I think VGM is a solid service but it has to fit what your expectations are. When just starting to collect, chasing full sets or just plain want to try new games it’s a good way to do that. If you’re looking for specific games or higher end games it just doesn’t work. Either way it’s been fun sharing the unboxings every month with y’all. Cheers brother! 🍻
The end of an era! I think you will be back when you start collecting for other systems. Right now your collecting is too limited. My son really likes Terraria. Clay Fighter is a pretty rough fighting game.
It’s always possible but the biggest reason I didn’t just change system selections was because I didn’t want all the shovelware from other systems. If I ever decided to do a full set of another cart system though this is the way to go for sure. A couple good last pulls from the service and you are correct on both of them. Terraria is fun and Clay Fighter isn’t. 🤣 Imagine how it will feel to spend all the dough on Sculptors Cut too…
it was a long run but i think this is the right decision - looking forward to what you can find in the wild with the extra $$!
I think so too. It was fun for the past few years I just feel like my collecting habits are slowly morphing into the next phase. Appreciate you Matt! 🤙🏻

Truly the end of an era. Your VGM unboxings were one of the reasons I started making videos again. Great video, as always.
I appreciate that dude! It’s been fun with the service but it was time to move on and try to fill some of these holes in my collection on my own. In the end I think you will agree VGM is a good company and I will miss sharing the unboxings with everyone. I will definitely still be watching everyone else’s unboxing videos though. 🍻🤙🏻
Sad to see them go but happy you’re making and trying new things! Excited to check out what you have in the future!
Great unboxing! Congratulations on hitting and going beyond 1k! Not an easy feat. I hope all is well with you and yours sir.

Yea, I haven't been too happy with my boxes ever since I am not getting a full 5 games. I understand and good luck with finding awesome games :D
Congrats on hitting the big 1K!!!
Good decision and description of the VGM service. They seem like an a great company to deal with, and a way to quickly grow a collection. Whiskey is good and all, but beer is my thing! Cheers from ZA.
They really have been a good company to deal with but it was just time to move on. Beer is definitely my thing too. 🍻 Cheers my friend!
As a kid, camping, bingo was a normal thing on Saturday night, Bingo caller always said “G FIVE OHHHHHHHHH” 😂 you made me think of that. Loved your intro
😂 That’s funny dude! Glad to bring one of those core memories rushing back to ya! 😆
I've said this for a while.. though I enjoy watching these types of videos, I can't justify spending that much and getting games like Wheel of Fortune, Where's Waldo, and stuff. Maybe they got a monthly beer box? LOL
End of an era. Nice final box. I thought about starting to collect ps4 greatest hits games that are sealed, just an idea. I enjoyed your videos bud
It has been a fun ride over the past few years but it was time to move in another direction. PS4 would be a cool system to collect for and the greatest hits would probably be the way to go. All solid games and probably pretty affordable too. I appreciate the love dude. 🤙🏻 Hope you will continue to enjoy some of the other content out as well. 🍻

Will be interesting to see how you use that 50 dollars in terms of your collecting goals and stuff
Great stuff mate
Bahaha. Could you imagine if it was Sculptors Cut!?! 😂
That would be insanity! If only these services were actual grab bags right? Imagine if they did send random heavy’s sometimes. That would be a guarantee that they would have people paying for boxes every month. 😂
Woah! That’s a lot of boxes. 😮
The history of my channel basically. 😂
Spending it on the heavy hitters or whatever it is you are missing makes sense to me as you'll be getting exactly what you want rather than a gamble as fun as that can be.
Awesome review Josh!😊 I've been told they are good.
Can't wait to see what you do next!
The best thing about VGM is that you get to play games you'll never play.
That is honestly the best reason to do any of these type of services. I have definitely discovered some cool games that I never would have tried. 🍻
Two decent games this month but don't blame you giving the service a rest. $11 down for the month is not what you want for sure
They've been good for the most part though
Take it easy dude👊
Box 50, woooo hooooo. That's a lot of boxes. Not a bad final box, looks a little on the light side though.
I can’t complain about my overall VGM experience. But that’s kinda been the problem over the past 6 months. Way too many light boxes. If I am taking a $10-12 net loss every month that’s the equivalent of a game or two I am not adding to either set…🤷🏼♂️
Wow that makes 4 creators including me that are done with VGM kinds crazy all in a months time
Really? That is kinda wild. 🤷♂️ I loved getting the boxes but it just hasn’t been working out well for me over the past 6 months or so. Just kinda feel like I can use the same money and add specific games to my sets better this way.
