2001 PC Gaming in a nutshell:
"It's like playing in Stereo!"
"Is it though...?"
We had dolby digital and dts 5.1 in 2001 lol.
When he claimed inside the case wasn't cable managed I lost it. Was managed as fuck. We just didn't stick glass panels and LED's all over the inside back then, so there were no need to hide all the cables behind the non-existent rear channels.
was thinking the same. back in the days, the connectors were all over place. Not like nowadays, where the 24 pins is located where the PSU is to be suspected. Quite often it was on the opposing side. The cases had no routing behind the back option.
Manufactoring costs were also higher. A nice shroud to cover up the the power cable and connector on the mainboards southbridge? Extra dollars, not cents! For Assembly and manufaction, not retail price! But who cared? Pcs were boxes tugged under desk. Cable managment was only important for maintanance. if you frequently swap components. back then, a year old machines was replaced entirely and sold to 2nd hand. No one was gonna crack open it again after assembly. Maybe add more storage or ram, replace gpu, if at all.
Full respect to BitWit but he was literally a child. 99% of people who were into computing from 1982 - 2004 legitimately didn't care about the "aesthetics" of anything because the parts simply weren't being built. For a long time the only thing gamers cared about was performance because we didn't have tempered glass panels. It was really companies like Razer, Alienware, and Logitech that persisted with the "gamer" theme which led to improving case aesthetics. Before 2010 I'd say most people still just had standard ass PC cases except they might not have been beige anymore.
@@I2obiNtube There really was nothing to show in the days when the motherboard was some mash up of white, brown, blue and grey. Ram was just a bare stick along with GPU also being a bare green board, and a CPU heatsink and fan was probably shit brown too. It was all about having the best parts available over anything else, I remember having this grey and blue case with purple buttons somewhere in the early 00's and that was regarded as quite fancy at the time. Case windows and lighting was way way later. Even things as simple as that Alienware PC were expensive and regarded as quite obnoxious in design.
I got into pc building around 2003-4. Had an AMD 64 3400 and ati 9800 pro. 2 GB crucial memory. My case wasn't the best, Thermaltake with plexiglass. Moved to an Antec lanboy later.
@@rudysal1429 I had almost the same exact setup! I felt really bad ass when I purchased a flat screen 19" CRT... in black.
I can't believe that he didn't understand how incredibly significant the audio stuff was. The fact that we don't need sound cards and weird crazy audio equipment to get a phenomenal audio experience is incredible. Audio is unbelievably important to gaming, and it's mind blowing that we can have such incredible audio experiences so effortlessly today. Kyle is either showing how young he is out how it of touch he was with technology in the early 2000's. This was truly the golden age of gaming experience increases. From graphics to audio, the jumps were amazing.
@Gareth Tucker I think sound cards are pretty dead, but that's only because modern DACs and amps are so good now. To be fair though there are definitely instances where a sound card is the better option.
@Gareth Tucker EQ can be accomplished with software and a very good external DAC/Amp can be had for around $100. I use the ifi Zen DAC that cost just over $100 and offers performance a sound card can't even touch. I was conceding that edge cases exist for the use of a sound card, but 99% of the time the investment into a sound card could be better spent elsewhere. There is a reason the sound card market is nearly dead. Even the manufacturers know that sounds cards are breathing their last breath.

This was my reaction.
@@ONEWONDERSHOW The game was ahead of its time.
Kyle is an idiot for saying it was boring.
@@seahawk124 different people have different interest lol
No, it sucked. Just like everything else Peter Molyneux has ever touched. Fable sucked and Black and White sucked. I was there and I played them at the time and I thought they were both overhyped trash. I guess whoever had not been reading Molyneux's lies & bullshit for months and months beforehand maybe they just got the game and thought "this is amazing!"
But for anybody who actually read the bullshit that Molyneux was claiming before the games came out, they were both an absolute fucking joke. And Fable 2 also sucks. The most overrated crap franchise of all time. Just like everything else Molyneux has done.
Black and white was buggy and went nowhere. I remember being amazed for the first few hours and then saying okay this game has no interesting gameplay and it doesn't go anywhere and I put it away and regretted that I bought it.
@@gobbledygook5000 Yikes. It was basically an unpolished sandbox, but you come off like a really freaking weird Molyneux hater. Where did that man touch you?
Kids today! They have no idea what it was like seeing the improvements each gen from the mid 80s to present.

@@jstaal7879 not everyone has a 2k pc to run it tho
@@framelessly you don't need one, especially as of recently. If you want, you can run almost Raytracing shaders on Java with the recommended specs being a 1060, I believe. But if you want to talk native raytracing, you can buy a solid pc capable of native raytracong with a good monitor for about $12-1300 especially with the rtx 3060 ti
@@jstaal7879 Minecraft rtx only effects lighting. Steve's hand doesn't look any more like lifelike than in normal minecraft. Minecraft is still made out of blocks
@@PsychoticBacon19 good lighting greatly adds to the realism factor. There's obviously some mechanics which can't be 100% exactly as the would be in real life, which is true for any game, but especially with raytracing, or raytracing like shaders, that I had mentioned, you're getting to be as close as you can to realism, with the sun's light casting down on everything, and the water having waves. If you did want to get rid of the blocks issue you were mentioning, at least on Java, you're able to run the no cubes mod on top of the advanced shaders. It's definitely an expirence that I'd recommend you try if possible, though you probably won't be getting the best FPS on it.
Kyle: "GTX 3080"
Ray Tracing: It seems I was forgotten...
Lmao
did that ever not age well...
The world would be a better place if consumer ray tracing wasn't released this early
Now our PC's can't handle shaders
The RT in RTX doesn't stand for Ray Tracing, so it doesn't matter. :D
why winamp, kyle?
Because it really whips the llama's a$$!!!
I guess you don't remember back in the early 2000s, sounds was a big thing. From computers, to home theater systems and Car setups. At least it was in my area.
Well, yeah, because just a short time before this, we were using early midi or motherboard speakers. The first time I played Doom with FM synthesis was an ear opener!
I bought sound blasters back than because integrated sound on my p4 was terrible and microphone otherwise had terrible noises
Sound Blaster Extreme AWE64
Yeah I just threw out my 2.1 altec speakers. Everyone wanted cards with 5.1.
@@RAZO45 that was in 1996 though.
"Is this OG Dirt?"
Actually, yes it is lol. Dirt is the sucessor to the Colin McRae Rally series. It was actually called "Colin McRae Dirt" for a long time.
Hurt my soul when he said that
They renamed it after his fatal crash.
they crashed the car on arcade mode (that has damage off) and they said there was damage.... cringe
Yes
I feel really nostalgic just thinking about me driving with blue WRX on Winter map.
“WinAmp: it really whips the llama's ass!”
Also you HAD to have a cool interactive winamp skin, no classic look here!
I was all about those WMP visualizations back then.
It was so cool
the fact that this was revolutionary technology back then and how far we've come is the greatest thing to me
I wonder how it will be in 19 years from now. My biggest wishes are perfect shadow (wich ray traycing does I believe), perfect reflection (ray traycing helping a lot), no more clipping, no more aliasing (it's getting better) probably other stuff, but I would love for these 4 things to be "perfect".

The reason for the "Classroom Setup" is that because this was a very low budget show, they would record the whole thing in one shot. They cut as much as possible from their editing budget to keep the costs low.
Fantastic Show BTW!
You actually did need sound cards back then for decent gaming sound. Motherboard audio was serverely lacking.
I can't imagine the feeling of going from the standard on motherboard to 4.1 or 5.1
Surround sound was just as important as a good 3d accelerator. And as long as you (at least) had a decent intel processor, you had no bottlenecks, so nobody really paid attention to that. Or the power supply. Or drive speed. Or memory speed.
Soundblaster cards were the shit LOL
@@joedesalvo3316 some people still use them. They're decent for driving some more low sensitivity headphones. Though if your PC has the ALC1220 codec you're more than cable of driving something like the hd600s or even hd800s.
Yeah, don't be that smug about soundcards back then. In the area of 3D sound we pretty much stagnated, didn't progress at all. There are games from that time that sound better than some games today.
4 pin power cables and IDE cables. brings back memories

Hold up. Did Kyle say Black and White looks like the most boring game ever? Oh man, little do you know its absolutely fantastic
I still have Black and White installed and sometimes play it
I instantly felt old when I saw it. Didn’t remember it being that old but totally was like 11 or 12 when I played it. Dang.
I think I saw LGR play it, and it looked pretty fun. He smacked a cow around and murdered puny humans.
Not sure he is too young or we just too old... But most modern titles I find really boring...
@@kavamalekava6556 i know right? Everyone is so pumped for CP2077 for example and I‘m like: „meh, more like Witcher 2077“. I cant even imagine a game I‘d be willing to pay full price right now.

I was shocked when he didn't seem to be familiar with the game! It was one of my favorite games at the time. So many hours in this one.
It's still some fun today if you can get it to work.

But they did introduce dual channel memory and HT with the P4.
@@kaasman78 HT, yes. Dual channel, not really. Intel didn't integrate the memory controller into the CPU die until the first i7 (Nehalem). It's the motherboard chipset that had the dual-channel memory, not the processor. And Intel had some dual-channel chipsets before the P4.
I was using a Pentium 4 HT 3.0GHz Prescott (released in 2004) until late 2012.

Black and white was a really nice 'game' back then. It was more like a tamagotchi - but a really beautiful one.
Was made by Peter Molyneux if I remember correct. Same person that created/started Fable series.
You never played it in multiplayer then.
I remember when WASD wasn’t a normal thing... that’s what the arrow keys were for.
WASD goes waaaay back. That's how you navigated in the vi editor which came out in 1976. Back in those days most keyboards did not have arrow keys, that's how WASD came about.
@@ChristopherHailey vi used to be WASD? huh... wait, that gives me a thought
what if gaming was HJKL?
@@OninDynamics Half Life 1 even had WSDA on default as the secondary move keys. I remember my brother, who was a very good CS 1.6 player preaching to me why I should use WSDA instead of the arrow keys in Half Life, hell I could reload and run at the same time!
But tbh I think every game that required a mouse used WSDA already. You simply can't use the arrow keys, use your additional keys AND the mouse at the same time! (oh btw note, a scroll wheel was uncommon back in the day, so switching weapons also happened with the 1-9 keys). WSDA is just a perfect placement on the keyboard. Hell even people who have their mouse at the left side don't use the arrow keys, but the numpad instead (or apparently some Home, end, Delete and Page down) so they can hit other keys more effectively.
I always had WASD on my keyboard, but myself and 90% of people i knew only used the arrow keys lol
@@thundereagle4130 WASD did exist well before that point in time, but it wasn't super popular. My first heavy interactions with WASD was probably mid 90's with Descent/Doom/Duke Nukem. Descent being fully 3-d, and me not having a joystick - I remapped it to a two handed keyboard setup. I won a lot of lan party matches with that setup. Funny enough, I was running onboard sound and it wasn't backwards compatible. So I didn't have sound either. It really honked off the guy who insisted he was super competitive with the game when I kept kicking his butt, with a keyboard and no sound.
i grew up as a pc gamer, my dad built a lot of pc's back in the day, and now ive built him pc's, thanks dad for giving me an awesome hobby
Same here m8. My dad built pc's with his friend and he let me play games on his pc. One of them was Battlefield 1942 still playing that game in 2021

The skeleton of that Chameleon has so much more detail than NPCs in games I’ve seen today. It looks like a stick figure today.
No reason to have such a detailed complex rig for a small character you'll be looking at from a long distance. It is only practical for animated films, and complex CG applications not a video game where good real time performance is key.

Kyle is over 30. He should know better.
clearly not a real gamer ;)
His name is not Nathan, haha what a jackass having a name "Kyle" and not "Nathan", he's clearly not worth respecting.
I have no respect for you, disrespecting someone for not having the same experiences you had. Do you truly believe respect comes from having played a specific game title? Even if you want to consider him an "expert" of gaming for some weird ass reason, no expert knows everything. No master knows everything. But he's not a master, he's a guy who makes computers and jokes on youtube.
@@kaldo_kaldo For being a guy who watches "a guy who makes computers and jokes on youtube", you are taking this way too seriously friend.
Also, note my language: I did not disrespect Kyle. I did not say I've lost all respect for Kyle. I did not say Kyle is not worth respecting. Don't put your words in my mouth. I said I've lost some respect for him.
He may be just "a guy" (and yes, he would certainly be considered an expert in gaming in a certain respect due to his trade being the building of GAMING PCS), but that doesn't excuse someone from just blowing off something simply because he's never played it. You don't have to have played a game to be aware of it. It is nearly on the level of calling Starcraft, Diablo, Half-Life, etc boring for having seen one small clip from non-engaging gameplay.
And yes, I realize this response is me taking this too seriously as I put it, but I'm only treating you as you have treated me.

Only way it's actually free is if you're in a really good (at least top 100) clan that has constant +30% credit booster running and large cw gold payouts.
@@megapro125 I agree. But a Full gold noob vs a unicum with standard ammo gets rekt 99 out of 100. Experience and map+tank knowledge is much mor important than $$$ (PS: played up until 1.0-ish and have 8k matches + 1 CW Tier )
Not knowing that audio was the sheeeeit in late '90 and early '00 is sheer ignorance.
Also, that audio card set in motion future advancements in onboard audio.
Truly bad takes throughout.
What ever happened to positional audio?

World of Tanks and "Historically accurate" should not be said in the same sentence, half the tanks in the game not only never existed, but never even existed on paper.
If I remember correctly, the ENTIRE Chinese TD line are all fake tanks. Hence why our evil gnome overload refers to the Chinese FT’s as “Chinese Fake Tank XXXXXX”
Tanks be like:🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
Tanks go boom!!!

I see, Crysis hadn't come out yet, GPUs didn’t need 8 Gigs of VRAM.
Even then it still killed them. It wasn't the game that killed cards. It's the asinine decision to use an engine that renders the entire, massive level, regardless of how far away something is from you. In most games things are loaded based on distance. It only loads what you can actually see. Crysis said fuck that and gave every GPU a heart attack.
Most games still had a software renderar so you didn't even need a GPU
@@fracturedraptor7846 I play Crysis from time to time and there's some very noticeable object popping and LOD changes going on based on the distance to the player. I seriously doubt that was patched in and It's very noticeable on the lowest settings.
So, what the hell are you talking about?
2:14 I still use winamp and haven't found an alternative lmfao... it really whoops the llama's ass though.

I can hear the startup in my head.

Oh those were GREAT days of computing, The Computer Chronicles was my FAVORITE show! Watched it for 10 years since 1994. I miss those days. My first 3d Accelerator was the Matrox Mystique with 2MB of ram! It was a great time. We had sooo much choice for 3d cards, Matrox, 3dFX, ATI, Nvidia, PowerVR, Rendition Verite, Verge3d... all with their advantages and disadvantages.. So much choice! Intel, AMD, Cyrix for a time.
Atheists playing god simulators was one of the funniest pre-memes of the early 2000s
Not sure why this is a meme tbh. Atheists believe god is make believe, a make believe god in a game fits right in with their beliefs. Are you saying an atheist can't enjoy any work of fiction that has a god in it? Please.

@@petrurk6835 hahaha I remember a friend from school coming over one weekend. We got on our computer so he could download CS for me. He checked system specs and was blown away by my whole 2mb of ram. He said his computer only had 512kb. I said whats a ram? Man have things changed....
@@petrurk6835 Exactly. Most of the cards usually had 4MB SD RAM onboard...
Black and white would creepaly whisper your name once in a while if you had a common name. So it rates as scaryest game ever made.
1.7 Ghz was blazing fast back in 2001. I remember my family having a 200 Mhz computer when Red Alert 2 came out in 2000. Max Payne's recommended system reqs were 700 Mhz, 128 MB RAM, 32MB GPU.
RA2 might be my fav CnC game. I loved to fortify(?) and get my infantry up to veteran status.
I love games
I love life
"This is actually GTA 6 with RTX off" - Literally started choking on the food I was eating from laughing so hard.....
When he says the racing game is most intensive he’s referring to cpu usage.
Back then that was indeed true.
@@CommodoreFan64 Still holds up today. PC2 is incredibly demanding. You can technically say the same about the upcoming GT game on PS5 too.
@@evolicious True, but not near as much as back then, because in the mid 90's - mid 00's it seemed like if you did not upgrade every few months you where really outdated, and some games just a year after you built your computer might not even run at all. after 08 stuff really started to slow down, to the point now even a 10 - 12 year old 4 core system with a 1/2 decent GPU, SSD, and at least 8GB of RAM can still game on many modern titles(I'm not saying great but 720p should be dueable in many titles), and is more then fine for most basic daily task the majority of people will do.
This is actually true for most hardcore racing sims. Asset to Corsa, iRacing, and nascar racing 2003 season are very intense on CPUs due to being much more physics based then graphics based in order to achieve the level of immersion and "feel" they create
@@CommodoreFan64 Hardware was not released that often.
"Winamp, it really whips the llamas ass!"
When Alienware used just a re-painted Chieftec case. My first build was in that case, P4 2.66 and a Radeon 9700 Pro.
Mine had an Athlon XP 2800+, and a Geforce FX5900 Ultra. And, of course, a Sound blaster Audigy 2 with the fancy external box.
I also got a P4 2.66 with gt210 as my 2nd on 2010 PC my 1st is P3 2008. I know they were old at that time but in my country technology is so pricy back then.
man that radeon was so good back in the days... i got the 9800 pro which was so good shit too (which an aftermarket zalman cooler with heatpipe)
@@geraldbantolino3475 Wow, that was later. I think I built it in 2002, but I had the original Northwood 2.66. I guess yours was the refreshed Prescott one from a few years later since it could be paired with a GT 210 on PCIe.
@@paalpet There was some 478 mobos with PCIe so it could be a Northwood or Prescott. But it could also be a Pentium 4 505, 505J or 506 which are 64-bit Prescott's for the newer 775 socket
sound "cards" are not irrelevant today... they are just part of the motherboard now.
and then if you want to get really fancy these days you're going to get an external DAC/AMP or hook up an actual home theater to your PC.
U know what he meant 💀😂
*Cough* EVGA Nu Audio *Cough*
Depends. If you have shitty on-board that won't pair well with an audiophile setup, you should definitely get a sound card. Even the most high-end motherboards don't have all the connections for a 7.1 analog setup.
@Criss Poyner Asus and creative make really badass modern sound cards. 100% worth getting if you have an uber audiophile kit.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto? How did you not recognize that, Kyle?

@@kaldo_kaldo oh god what have I done
26:59 that's looks like a Chieftec Dragon case - around that era it was the case that almost every gamer had - they're a relic to have now and I've recently seen one sell for close to $200.
I recently bought an Antec version for $195, it's hard to find them in good condition anymore and the one I got is like new still.
Wait, how old is Kyle? He seems to not know these classic great games.
32 according to google. October 9, 1988
For real. Im about the same age apparently but I would have guessed he's at least 5 years younger based on his reactions. Also totally shitting on sound cards like what. that was a big deal then.
Bro same here. I played all of them except the one where the dudes tried looking at a tree and nvidia guy failed at turning the character. I am 31.
@@themattiemisfit He didn't say they weren't, he said they aren't anymore, and that's true, a sound card is a waste of money when you can get an external DAC.
bearing in mind he only got into PCs in the 2011-2012 era builing that 2600k corsair system, unerstandable he didn't know about how PCs came to be in the early 2000s
I remember those days well. Back when you could see the progress being made in games. You could also buy a damn GPU if you had the money.
If you have the money you can buy a GPU you just have to spend at least $400 more than what the store sells it at
Yo dude, with RTX I think you can actually see the difference. Cyberpunk with RTX on and off is like night and day
also back when games took time to create, back when they released playable and working...WITH DEMO'S....when it was an art....now its just another industry hijacked by Wallstreet and stock market predators
@@MMK86 99% of games in 2001 were shit.
@@jrshaul Return to castle Wolfenstein, civilization 3, Alien Vs Predator 2, serious Sam, black and white, Max Payne, tropic, Command and conquer Yuri's revenge, Baldurs gate 2, operation flashpoint, halo combat evolved, GTA 3, empire earth, il-2 sturmovik , ghost recon, starwars galactic battlegrounds, red faction, devil may cry.
That's about 99% of pc games released in 2001.
Black and white was an amazing game back then
It was an awesome game
26:58 Ah... I remember those Chieftec cases. I nicknamed them "The Steel Dragons" because they were 100% steel and weighed a ton when fully loaded. No point putting in any intake fans however as Kyle pointed out the lack of airflow. Negative pressure all the way along with all the dust build up. Good times.
I still use one. I had to drill out the rivets for the 3.5" HDD mounts (which I haven't used in a decade) to make enough space for my 6900XT.
I originally built it with PC Power and Cooling silencer fans back in the early 2000's, but a couple years ago I went through and replaced them all with noctua fans, which are even quieter (mainly because they support PWM)
"Looks better than World of Warcraft"
boom, roasted
I've never been more offended at something so true
Did u see WOW rendered in UnrealEngine? Also, don't play with the camera at max distance. Get down in there at least a little bit.
Had to pause the video to post that I feel offended 😂😂
To be fair, WoW came out only 2 or 3 years after this video, lol. And it kind of looked like shit even in 2004...but that was the fate of most MMOs at the time.
@@kennylaysh2776 I feel the compatibility is what made their player base so huge.
Am i the only one who got annoyed with the host interrupting the Nvidia guy constantly?
Stewart was known for that, as they had very tight time constraint due to being on national TV with only 30 minutes a week, and while annoying it helped keep the guest in check so they did not ramble on for too long, and it was even tighter in the 80's - mid 90's when they still did a weekly news segment at the end of the shows, and/or they cut to a another person who showed off some piece of software they found interesting that week.
Imagine if Computer Chronicles was rebooted today that would be so insane to watch RIP 1983 - 2002
Not at all, TV was so restricted on time back then. Watch any segment or interview back then, it's the same sort of format.
"We're not buying into your marketing gimmicks this time, Nvidia."
I'm gobsmacked at how young Will Smith looks. No glasses, no goatee, no grizzled outlook on life...

Yeah, very surprised he's "tall" too.
That case was THE case to have in the 2000's.
I had one of those. It's actually a Chieftec case if i remember correctly. I had a black one.
@@niklasniklasniklas1 Chieftec and Antec both made them. They came in every color, I had Gloss Black, Silver and White in 3 separate builds in the 2000s. Thermal take also made one that was like steel and orange with orange fans all over.
I wanted that alienware so bad back then. I remember looking on the falcon site and drooling at those PCs haha.
Stuart dyes his hair though, he looks younger in 2001.
Black&White is a timeless classic.
Winamp is still around, supposedly getting a significant update "soon."
As an old timer gamer at age 49 who started my gaming hobby with the Atari 2600 I love these classic videos!
"If it's not realistic it's a waste of time." LOL
So Stuart would hate Minecraft. XD
How dare they make fun of Undertale.
2001: 64mb ought to be enough to animate an extremely detailed chameleon.
2020: Slack needs 1GB of RAM.
From 2001-2020, one thing has never changed:
The ability to run Crysis at maximum settings
Old meme no it can be ran on modern potatoes at max settings
I can run Crysis and Crysis 3 at maximum settings, at 3440x1400, at over 100fps on my 3080. I know because I did so yesterday lol.
It's incredible how pc gaming evolved in the last 20 years I mean my new gaming rig (RTX 3060ti/Ryzen 5 3600/16gb 3200MHz cl16/500gb Nvme SSD) that I built a week ago is something in between mid range and high end pc gaming in 2001 that would've been considered super computer level now it's just a good gaming rig for recent games
yet coding and optimzation due to lazy devs has gone wayyyy worse today
'The wrinkles are the paid actors'.
I don't think folks get what a massive impact to game experience the sound advancements of that time were.
It's mostly because games went from no sound to stereo in the 70s/80s, and then out of nowhere you went from 2.0 to 2.1, 4.1, 5.1, 7.1 over the span of maybe 5 years and everything just stopped moving again.
I'm clearly too old...
So disappointed Kyle hasn't played Black and White
Pretty sure he missed the Zoltar reference as well.
I'm 23 and I've played it. Excellent game
Nope im sure im younger than him and i played Blqck and White. One of the more memorable games in my early days!
My dad has been an it guy since before I was born and that tower in the thumbnail was my first computer(edit to be clear I have no idea what was inside it but I know that is the case)
Chieftec Dragon cases are still one of my favorite case designs, to this day.
Mine was the big tower version in blue though.
antec sx 1030 FTW!!
Had the big blue one too, they where THE enthusiast cases these days, had one with water cooling, triple 120, of course custom as there where none? AIOs.
Still got a blue, silver and black one ;)
The video started out really interesting but your condescending mockery over saturated my patience and I couldn’t get through it.
same here. this idiot mocks really amazing stuff for 2001 when some people did not even have a TV back then.
Bitwit does get hella annoying thinkin he knows everything. When he probably never played games from back then
Cant blame him tho. He's surrounds himself with top of the line tech and gadgets everyday in his office,he's too used to them that he cant just see old hardware without mocking them. I mean,compare the graphics of the games showcased here vs games like Cyberpunk. It's like having a fridge today. How would you ever keep your raw ingredients fresh without them 50 years ago.
@@bigdipper1578 so what ? if you're a billionaire you must mock people who have only 1 house ?
This was amazing stuff for the time. Why make fun of the people who helped pave the way for future gaming and cgi. You should be celebrating this video.
We've come a long way
"Matches are won with skill, not money" *Laughs in E25 and Defender*
Seeing a Chieftec Dragon case in the thumbnail is pure nostalgia.
I pretty much have that exact same case in the other room. Used it for well over 10 years.
Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto were masterpieces. Great plot and visuals. No boob physics tho as far as I remember
Boob physics or gtfo
