@@MetalJesusRocks Some of these stores need to not put inventory by the windows. Looks like they noticed too late as those Intellivision boxes got sun faded.
Hey metal Jesus you don’t have to answer but, did you buy or lease your gti? I have a dilemma… I need a car and I really don’t want to lease but I don’t feel good about driving my hooptie anymore now that my kids are gonna start school, and I’m thinking leasing would be better than financing so it would give me more cash flow for…… video games 😎
This guy is living my dream. I also collect games, and I'm slowly achieving a good size. PS2, GameCube, and PS1 are my larger collections, and my focus at the moment
As resident of Bellingham it is awesome to see MetalJesusRocks giving some love my favorite lgs Cosmic Games (in their new location too). Also what a fantastic haul.
Just in awe what America has to offer in regards to retro gaming. Amazing looking place and a great state clearly for hunting games. My imagination runs wild thinking what else is in the other states? Love from the uk.
I've lived in Everett, Seattle and Bellingham. It was great to join you on this road trip through my favorite place on Earth. I sure do miss it. Thank you so much for bringing us along.
Yes not a big fan of digital. I was having a hard time finding Snipperclips only to find out that the original was digital. Luckily I was able to find Snipperclips Plus - physical copy. I always liked physical copies, but maybe that's a generational thing, I suppose.
This video makes me miss the retro game shop that used to be in my area, I used to save money and buy games in the glass cases since I was a teen. It was also pretty cool seeing you highlight trading card games, I collected both magic and pokemon in my youth though magic persisted over the years and I still update decks when I can.
Saving this for later I work Friday evenings get home after 11 and this is the perfect thing for me to watch when I get home. I love these Friday videos they are the perfect start to a weekend 👍👍👌👌
Those are my old stomping grounds - thanks for the fresh tour! I got good some deals on games & consoles at the Marysville Pawn X-Change, too, & found the employees at the Arlington GameStop to be the friendliest & most helpful compared with the other GameStop stores I visited in the surrounding cities & counties. 👍👍
Nice to see you kept Lighthouse. Way back in the day my dad and I played Lighthouse and we really enjoyed the puzzle solving elements to it. I don't remember if we ever finished it but we had good times playing together and testing out theories on what to do to progress.
We used to have a fairly large gaming franchise where I live called G2K games. Sadly they closed at the end of 2019. Always support your local gaming shops!
I must asume your from VA by guess because we use to have ones from lebanon, Abindon, and one in Pinnacle now they are gone for good in my area so pretty much we are fucked out of luck for retro game stores unless someone can mention one in the area
Cool to see some more retro stores in the US! I've never had a PSVita but that white/light blue one looks really clean. Should probably get one someday.
You got my fiancé and I back into some older games again, thank you so much for spreading your passion, it is very contagious. We just hooked up our old PS2, N64, and having a blast! Thank you so much Metal Jesus. Keep rocking 🤘
I love these road trip videos just exploring different stores and having that road trip story added on. There were things that made that Japan trip vlog very interesting pointing out surprising differences in Japan and I think the further you go out of Seattle you may be surprised out how the retro scenes get. Lately I have been watching a bit of this channel called TheNESPusuit which is very much built on hype and personality but at the same time it's tacky I also appreciate it. They went to the middle of nowhere at a flea market and found some rare stuff and edited it like something you would see on TV. Reminded me of American Pickers or whatever that show is called except for video games / nerdy memorabilia.
Man there’s so much to love about your work and your persona. You help promote local businesses, give honest reviews and share good game buying tips. Throw in your love for your GTI (just like I love mine), you the man my dude.
Very cool of you to give these places of business a bit of a spotlight during these tough economic times. Love your channel and I hope all the mom n pop game stores that are struggling keep fighting the good fight and thrive once the world opens up fully again. Peace and love my friends!
These types of videos always make me feel like I’m living in another universe, cause the retro game stores by me don’t have anything but sports games and shovelware. LOL
If I would make one reocmmendation for this type of video it would be to bring someone along with you or try to get comments from local gamers if they are interested in giving a comment about the shop themselves or what they are picking up and why they like the store or how they found it. Having more personalities to go along with it would make it feel like a more complete narrative and I think would spice it up more. Still always look forward to your uploads. That Geralt figure surprised me. I don't remember a rubber duck being in that bath lol.
That brings some memories, I bought the lighthouse when i was 12 and used to play it with my sister who was 7 at the time. Sadly the CD got scratched and the game would get stuck right at the point where an alien showed up (which got us screaming every time) and we never finished it. Just bought it on GOG and now at 37 i ll invite my sister to play it. I just found this channel btw- love it.
Are you still in Northern California? I know you had to move a few years ago...but maybe I can do a Retro Road Trip down there and do a big ol' collab with ya again!
Been planning to do this for the area of the United States that I live in northern midwest might throw in the spot were I get original and reprinted comic books and mangas
@@NeverQuit87 Yes, but they like collecting. that's like telling someone not to buy vinyl records because they can listen to music for free on spotify and youtube. Like... they fucking know 😂😂😂 They just like something so much that they are willing to get it physical.
I drove from Bellingham to Seattle many times during my game hunting days. But that was when thrift stores were hot! I would hit Value Villages, Goodwills, and mom 'n pops all along I-5. Cool to see you up here in Bham at Reset Games, the bar/arcade next door used to be one of my old haunts pre-covid.
@@MetalJesusRocks i bet it was tough but the quality was top notch! Im glad to see you back outside mingling amongst the people again and getting some sun. I hope to see you at SEGE next year! Much love my man and you have been a major inspiration to me as a collector. Im thinking of starting a channel with my wife. We are cross country truck drivers. I thought it would be awesome to show that life along with video game collecting across the USA. Any tips?
When it comes to making videos, take inspiration from other TH-camrs you enjoy watching. For travel videos like this, I get ideas from travel vloggers like Kara & Nate. They don't do game hunting videos, but their style and edits is something I really enjoy: th-cam.com/channels/4ijq8Cg-8zQKx8OH12dUSw.html
Dude , loving these road trip game hunts. MJ your channel is quality stuff. I’m 42 and still a kid at heart . You’ve exhibited a good lifestyle. Watching this video & the Portland Road Trip is inspiring, seriously. I am a true Nintendo fan , ALLways was. I had each of their consoles growing up , with only the Atari 2600 as a platform predecessor(Thank You Mom). Obviously the toys r us song faded , and I let adult life pull me so far from this gloriously soothing hobby . I want to thank you . I’m currently revamping my gaming collections. And Next time I head out for a road trip , this new idea you’ve portrayed , could be one of the most wholesome and innocent out of town “hunts” I’ve conspired to endeavor as a “grown up” (:
I'm in Marysville and love that Another Castile location. I had no idea the store in Everett existed! I pass through Everett a bunch. I'll have to stop in.
Would love to explore the great game stores of Washington! They just gotta open that border to Canucks first. Meanwhile, Americans should come check out the bustling retro scene in BC!
I always get a chuckle when people from large cities call 75-100k suburbs, sandwiched right between equally large suburbs, a "small town". To us midwesterners, that's a city! lol. But then you're also not gonna find ANY gaming stores in what WE'D consider a small town. Maybe a Walmart....maybe.
I feel like fidning stuff that's actually good is much harder these days. Everyone goes to eBay to look up what games are going for these days. It's harder to find good deals unless people are really unaware/aren't familiar with the prices on the internet.
@@dandiaz19934 I agree, I also just feel like we are past the point of a lot of the classics being in people's houses. I feel like they have been sold or throw out by now. It's sad.
Oh the memories of those Multi Disk games....10 3.5 in disks..... I remember setting up a school's new computer room's 25 computers and having to enter disk after disk in 25 computers.... oh man.... Keep up these great road trip videos...I hope one day you hit Canada as that's where I'm from, there is a lot of great shops up here too.
Absolutely awesome action when you share your travel adventures. So many retro game places in your area. Don't hv tht action in Wyoming. Appreciate you my man
@@psychotropictraveler514 I have. It was pretty easy on "Normal" Difficulty as you don't need to think much. I say play it on hard to give yourself a challenge.
I went to Seattle a few years ago for a Alaskan Cruise. I wish I would have known of all of the epic stores before coming through. I want to come back and visit some day!!
Funny. Yesterday, I went visiting my local videogame stores and while I found some nice stuff, most of them were beyond my pockets' reach. Still, it's always a good experience when you go thrifting because you'll never know what you'll find and maybe even purchase. Excellent video as usual, MJR!
There's something relaxing about just driving around, shopping, even simply window shopping. Something most of us have missed during lockdowns. I look forward to the day we can leave this pandemic behind us and go back to perusing and relaxing.
some people, like the person making this video, has already left this pandemic behind and is out and about acting as if life is just back to normal now. sad to see.
I think one of my most favorite parts about these retro road trips is, getting to see your Volkswagen GTI Wolfsburg edition….. Do you want to know why..? It’s probably because when I was a little boy my aunt would drive me around in her old 1970’s Voltswagon convertible beetle, and when I went on to getting my first big boy cars I went through 2 Jetta’s . The first was a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta, the second a 2006 Jetta. But that was years ago right before I met my wife. After we became parents and then me becoming a stay at home dad, we had to sell my Jetta…. But that’s all now in the past and now here we are in the year 2021 and we’re driving a new 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SEL…. And we love it..! So I think that’s the biggest reason I like watching you drive around in your Volkswagen… I love me some Volkswagens and I do indeed love me some video games…. So, perfect combo in my book!! 😂👍🏾💯💪🏾
I'm double vaccinated and at the time of this video, masks were optional. That said, if a store wanted me to wear a mask, I would have no problem with that. Cheers 🍻
Thank you for sharing MJR...I've been meaning to make a trip up north and that drive sounds wonderful...road trip time! Heroes of MMII...I have a NIB sealed copy of that first one...great finds!
I'm surprised by how many people have never played Majesty! That game is an absolute staple from my childhood, and it still holds up as an extremely fun and challenging RTS today.
i love seeing vlogs like this - there needs to be more people doing this specific stuff on here. it's cool finding neat little shops with hidden gem video games! :)
I was born in Seattle, WA and my dad passed away in May. I was out in Spokane and picked up a ds game. One of the places you went kinda looked the same inside but different area. Chris Cornell was from Seattle and my sons aunt babysat for Chester Bennington.
I like how Metal Jesus does a lap around the stores first to establish dominance lol
I call it the "orientation tour" 😂
Good thing he doesn't mark his territory.
I love that you’re using your platform to help local businesses regain their footing! You’re a real one
I want these mom & pop stores to succeed as they are a great part of our community! If I can help in some small way, I'm happy to do it. 🤘

Hey checkmark
I suggested it on one of his last game hunt videos and he made it seem like that it's too far for him to go.
Great store. They recently remodeled and looks awesome. Everyone there is super nice and very helpful.
Never thought I'd see Eckhart here!
it's closer to Portland than Seattle Looks like Mjr went north. you better come down there when the traffic is good

Oh yeah?! Very cool! Now there is a little part of your collection in mine 👍
That’s awesome! Good feeling knowing it’s in the hands of someone who loves games!
As a brit I'm so envious, these shops are all so fantastic. Wouldn't even know where to find a bunch of pinball machines here

You should start collecting arcade games! A couple in the game room would be awesome!
I found an ocarina of time and a gold holographic Majora's Mask at a garage sale and got them both for $10 together.
I feel like fidning stuff that's actually good is much harder these days. Everyone goes to eBay to look up what games are going for these days. It's harder to find good deals unless people are really unaware/aren't familiar with the prices on the internet.

I think one of my most favorite parts about these retro road trips is, getting to see your Volkswagen GTI Wolfsburg edition….. Do you want to know why..?
It’s probably because when I was a little boy my aunt would drive me around in her old 1970’s Voltswagon convertible beetle, and when I went on to getting my first big boy cars I went through 2 Jetta’s . The first was a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta, the second a 2006 Jetta. But that was years ago right before I met my wife. After we became parents and then me becoming a stay at home dad, we had to sell my Jetta….

Whenever I feel old I just watch MJR, and I makes me feel young.

4:26 I saw that Xband baby. Fun times playing onlines with my SNES, met one of my best friends which I still know to this day.
I was born in Seattle, WA and my dad passed away in May. I was out in Spokane and picked up a ds game. One of the places you went kinda looked the same inside but different area.
Chris Cornell was from Seattle and my sons aunt babysat for Chester Bennington.
I've got family up in Bellingham, beautiful place to visit
I love the stock footage of you driving with your sunglasses. Just so cool lol
Great experience and a clip for everyone to be able to explorer those small town jewels! Keep up the good work! :)
Honestly, these type of videos have easily become my favourite type of videos from Metal Jesus. Keep them coming!
I really like these types of videos. I really wish that Houston had better gaming stores.
Nice work! Love the travel style game hunt video.
I grew up in Seder Woolley now I live in South Carolina. You were so close to my hometown
you don't see a Duo everyday either MJR!!! This is a store I'd love to go to when I visit out there. Thanks for the video!
