Love hearing the memories dude! A simpler time. Sigh... We'll always have our memories of gaming from yesteryear, while also having the benefits of modern conveniences. The best of both worlds! Like you said tho - as we've become adults, it sucks to be able to work and buy the games ourselves.. but never seem to find enough time to play them as much as we'd like. Don't beat yourself up for selling games for like nothing. We had no idea what the future held!
Love this, I relate so much with your feelings on games being memories, and started reminiscing on some of my past games and the scenes from my life that corresponded with them.
And so true about not getting too caught up in living in the past. Gotta live in the present to make new beautiful memories to look back on. That’s one of my favorite parts about being a parent is creating those fond memories for my child to look back on.
Great video man, hits harder the older I get. Love thinking back to those summers playing goldeneye with friends but realizing I wouldn’t trade what I have now for the world
It’s crazy, right? Getting older, I’ve found a certain acceptance that things will never be the same. It’s harsh though. The modern conveniences are great, but man, sometimes I think “what if we all went back to dial up, cable tv, etc.”
Dude great discussion video it is very easy to get wrapped up in your own nostalgia an not see the great opportunity's you have in front of you to be with family and friends..a family that games together remains together 👍
Thank you so much my dude! One thing my family does frequently is on a Friday night, we get together and play “Mario party superstar” on the switch! It’s so much fun making those memories together!
Shang Tsung of all people said it best in MK95. "Cherish these moments... as they may be your last." I have a lot of moments that i can bring up but that might be on a future comment when i get home as it will take forever to write them on my phone.
Now that I'm home I can recall my favorite nostalgic gaming moments: The Genesis was out during my college years, and I remember being involved with a bunch of Madden/Bill Walsh College Football tournaments with an African-American fraternity called Alpha Phi Alpha. They even had me moderate the matches for them, plus I played a few rounds of Mortal Kombat (Arcade) with them. One guy was so good that he knew all the fatalities and was able to get all the way up to Goro before anyone else. N64 and Dreamcast I used to do a lot of 4 player matchup parties, especially with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, and for the DC we even did a "BYODCTV" launch party at my friend's church. Later on right before he was getting married, we did the same thing as a bachelor party, nothing but Dreamcast games. And then of course there was when I went to E3 for 7 consecutive years (2000-2006) and even won some damn good prizes, one of which being an actual 25th Anniversary Pac-Man arcade cabaret. Though a few years later I sold it to the manager of said friend who owned a restaurant franchise for $1,600, which I used to buy a new laptop. I have to admit I miss owning a full size arcade machine but it was awesome when I was able to live one of my life long dreams.

Simpler times indeed brotha! It’s truly insane just how quickly times marches on! It’s almost unfair. Thank you so much for watching!

To some, games and toys, it’s a hunk of plastic. But to many, it’s a time capsule, a photo album, a family home video ❤️

@@Toybox.time.machine exactly! for them (and us) it's nostalgia for the future to look back on!
The editing again, the transitions between your commentary, and the clips are insane!!!
This hit right in the feels! Great vid! 🙏
Thank you brother! That’s what I was aiming for especially with just trying to send a very human message
"Create nostalgia for the future ". Well said bro
Great video man, hits harder the older I get. Love thinking back to those summers playing goldeneye with friends but realizing I wouldn’t trade what I have now for the world

@@NSquaredPodcast they do it a lot lol, hence why I’ve given up with them.

@SNARC15 man, I’ll say this, it sounds like you truly lived some of the best times in those years.
