There is a reference to Judge Holden in the game and the game could definetly have a mod where you skin natives and sell them, if there isn't one already
The best is when my algo recommends a podcast with 4 uploads and 18 total views. More entertaining than most big shows just watching them try to act like their favorite podcaster.
I think theres a subsect of that collector community that probably are hopeless losers but honestly this isn't the cause. Its a art, hobby, and collector sector and you either like it or you don't. Theres totally weird brand/corpo worship too which is gross but honestly in terms of things to do/spend money on this seems pretty benign. (Yeah i fucking want a Sony CRT now, fight me)
It is funny that Nick is clearly very into video games but refuses to ever concede that they could have a good story or be art because he thinks he's too cool for it
red dead redemption 2 def needs a torture mod because the npcs stop screaming after like 2 kicks when you have them tied up and hardly react to drowning and getting set on fire
U need rgb monitor to use the duck hunt gun, that’s the only thing I can see using it for and was bouta get one for like 20 bucks but didn’t because I’m not a nerd
Well any type of Light Gun requires a CRT, so games like Time Crisis etc. CRT also produces a much better image on older consoles, as the CRT noise was utilised to add more depth to the graphics.
@@Ben-rq5re shits honestly werid for me I'm so nonkid friendly and pretty much a degenerate alcoholic stoner so I feel like being their I'm a bad influence but I can't be nice and ooh wow I can't believe earth is the 4th planet unless I'm on the verge of passing out from alcohol
A lot of this is valid but Super Metroid is cancer on the switch, it's not built for a joystick and the dpad is trash See how gay I am? It's starting to hurt (my asshole because of how gay I am)
I dont know why but it makes me so angry when Nick asks "you know those old console televisions?" and Adam says, "the ones with the VCRs in them??" NO, DUMMY
Stav’s commentary in this is hilarious, he has absolutely no idea what Nick is talking about with reference monitors but keeps going “oh yeah right” and then you can tell how obscenely insecure he is about how little sex he has when he responds to that guy not having sex lmao.
man i love mass effect and yeah death stranding was fucking boring i could’ve just gotten into a ups truck and delivered shit myself instead of playing that simulator
Always hilarious when Stav says he loves something, Nick says; “oh you watched/played/saw/interacted with that?” And stav goes, ahh no I got bored and stopped. Kind of like everything else he does.
You ever finish Red Dead? Stav: No, I got bored and quit playing. You ever finish reading Blood Meridian? Stav: No, I bored and quit reading. You ever exercise and lose that 100lbs? Stav: No, I got bred and quit. The quintessential Stav playbook.
Because of Rockstar, and any other games, being absolute dogsh*t for at least a decade now: No you can't feed anyone to alligators. As soon as you get close to an Alligator, fully fit and armed and you just shot 5 other Alligators in front of him, he's so hungry, he will attack and eat you. But if you tie someone up and throw it in front of them, not a single time does the Alligator even try to bite him.
Nick's totally wrong about CRT reference monitors. The quality is insanely better. HD CRTs look better than any modern 4K bullshit when it comes to the old consoles. Their graphics were designed to look good with CRT tech, but modern games can also look better on CRT.
I had one of those news monitors in the 90s. It was the brightest, crispest, smoothest, fastest frame rate monitor I ever had. It's hard to describe even.
Bullshit. A good game is literally rated off its replay ability. You can't tell me you haven't beaten FFX (the hard version with penance) anf then randomly 6 years later you just suddenly get this feeling like "bro i wonder if i can beat that shit even more dominantly". Somehow collecting 100% of all items and summons and beating a super boss in literally one attack before he can kill your entire party with full health in one hit himself... Just wasn't prestigious enough. Hold up ima go beat FFX HD again
I loved Death Stranding, setting up roads, bridges and ziplines to make the deliveries easier was a lot of fun. The story and world was pretty interesting too.

Mmm yes witty
Nick:"I wish I could go back and play the original Mass Effect."
Stav:"You can, dude."
I like how oddly supportive Stav is to his gay friend, Nick.
Nick: "God I wish I was Shogun."
Stav: "You will be someday dude."
Nick pretending he was just camping and hunting animals in RDR2 when he definitely spent hours stabbing random npcs repeatedly
A whole town full of black French people and Chinese? There’s no way his killings were random
Doesn’t everyone?
Not random, specifically Asian npcs
No he wasn’t you don’t understand him at all. Your actually gay and it’s wrong
@@seankelly716he saw the railroad workers and saw red
Nick asking for a blood meridian mod is the biggest red flag of all time
Well it has to be a mod, because no company would want to create the young bussy
There is a reference to Judge Holden in the game and the game could definetly have a mod where you skin natives and sell them, if there isn't one already
@@zekeiwa5837pedo stuff he means
*Press Y to scalp child*
Oh my god, that's so fucked.
Does Stav finish anything?
Didn't finish RDR2. Didn't finish Blood Meridian. Didn't finish Her. Didn't finish exercising.
the food on his plate
He finished the podcast
im shocked he even started blood meridian
He hurt his foot and got in a fight with his dad. Find a new slant
He’s known for just fatly not finishing things
The idea of Nick in the Mass Effect universe is strangely fitting. Just like instead of the African Guy voice it's the Batarian Guy voice.
commanduh, why ah you gay? - javik
Imagine the San frangelico fugue state nick
Nick trying to see how rude he can get away with being against aliens...not hard to read between the lines there lool
What are you trying to say? Fuck aliens Humanity first
Nick seething because he couldn't get one of those CRTs for cheap
And stav pretending like he has any idea what Nick is talking about as if he isn’t the most uninformed person in the world.

“When they even approach a joke, they laugh so fucking hard.”

Nick pretends he didn't care about the story but you know damn well he cried when Arthur gets TB 😂
he totally completed the game and restarted the final mission every time he lost arthur's hat
@@zekeiwa5837true, or when his favorite male horse died
Completely unnecessary spoiler
He pretty much admitted he likes Arthur and the story I’m not sure what you mean
@@hayk3000 game been out for years cry about it, also I'm gay
"Commander Shepard, you can't dock the Normandy here"
(Shoots alien in the face)
"How bout I dock where I fuckin want to?"
You love the dock
any fucking questions?
Yeah maybe a couple, but just like me they are stupid.. and very gay @@jpk51
Stav was getting such little attention from women at 32 that he was openly considering just being gay or getting into trans women
will never forget this
Funny, at age 21 I started developing a fixation for Femboys & Twinks :3
Lotta guys go through this at some point in their lives
You act like trans women are some sort of punishment. What a lame take.
@@raulduke3237self report
I actually think ME 2 is kinda better than 1 because its got like no fat whatsoever and the combat is fun
also has the suicide mission
That baby thinking Stav was also a baby is so funny to me.
It's funny how Stav gets easily bored with anything that's good.
Maybe he should stick with Marvel stuff.
"This game was amazing, I got bored after 10 hours" Talk about ADHD
Idk man Red Dead 2 was boring as shit. I want to have fun and being a gay cowboy who has to sneak around and catch fish just sucks balls.
@@Philitron128 Red Dead 2 is a god damn masterpiece.
Im Gay.
@@CordellPotts GET BACK TO WORK STOP LISTENING TO CUMTOWN COMPILATIONS ITS GAY AND SO AM I
@@Philitron128what’s your idea of fun?
Love listening to my best friends talk about gaming
It really makes me feel like I'm not a reclusive loser
Stav becoming bored with everything he starts points to a much larger issue here.
I love TV furniture. Is it a TV? Is it a furniture piece? Ah who cares. Lets put our drinks and lines on it!
I managed to hook a ps2 to one with a bunch of adapters as a kid. It sucked!
Unironically, the old crt tvs are good for killing ditsy blondes in their sleep. Im nightmare dwelling demon Freddy Krueger, AND IM GAY.
You dont need a broadcast monitor, but hold onto an old crt if you care. People are always throwing them away on Craigslist
CRTs look SO much better, man.
Did he ever figure out that you can feed people to alligators
That's what happens unfortunately... technically it did eat him though lol@joebimen
Nick is so right about that insecure podcast cadence 13:12
It’s ridiculously accurate lmao
I had to stop listening to the IGN podcast years ago because of this exact thing.
People trying to “present” themselves as interesting & verbally witty.

It is funny that Nick is clearly very into video games but refuses to ever concede that they could have a good story or be art because he thinks he's too cool for it
He's like the uncle Tom of gamers which is worse than a real uncle Tom given that gamers are the most oppressed minority
no one has ever sat in a chair for 7 hours a day over a whole month looking at art
@@The-xp4xj How does something being good entertainment prevent it from being anything other than that
Being this invested in videogames (or really anything) is, honest to god, the gayest thing
@@One-co5rj So true, having any interests is gay
Ironically the old CRT TVs actually do make retro games look so much better than modern TVs
What are you, gay?
Unironically you mean
They’re made for the old school games, the scanlines blur and soften the pixels
Whatevermanthisshitsboringwhocares?
They made the special effects in 80s movies palatable too. The low res helped hide a lot

I'm with Adam, Sex, and the required instruments are straight trash
The 40 year old virgin is a funny movie but in real life that guy would be so maladjusted he would probably go crazy
I've thought that too. A real 40 year old virgin would be a straight up monster
@@smallpaintingsI just struggle to imagine Steve Carrell would be a 40 year old virgin
@@br3akstuffhe’s got hairy chest. I know he’d be a hit at the gay bars.
If that movie was made now he would just be an asexual.
How Nick interacts with Aliens is exactly how I interact with TH-cam commentors.
Yes, kingy.
Shut up I don't care
Shutup
And minorities
Absolutely
Its ironic that the show is a key example of this phenomenon of touching back on past things we enjoyed. We can't go back. Nostalgia sickness.
Wait until nick plays Gun and finds out there’s a scalping feature that does nothing but satisfy your sadistic urges
Death Stranding was an amazing game but I'm also gay so what do i know?
Nah
Nick and Stav were such good friends.
Still sad it ended
"Does anyone know how to hack?"
How many of y'all like sex?
Hearing Stav talk about sex is always so funny
You should check out his crowd work?
Prob fucks more than you
@@druffner I think he meant it's funny, because the idea of that guy having sex is disgusting at a push, but impossible if you're being realistic.
He has very little sex and is obviously insecure about it based on his insane overreactions to hearing about people not having sex
U need rgb monitor to use the duck hunt gun, that’s the only thing I can see using it for and was bouta get one for like 20 bucks but didn’t because I’m not a nerd
Well any type of Light Gun requires a CRT, so games like Time Crisis etc. CRT also produces a much better image on older consoles, as the CRT noise was utilised to add more depth to the graphics.
2:39 I feel ya nick I'm a God father and I still love red dead 2 more than that child
You just reminded me that I’m a godfather. Haven’t seen that kid in about 15 years.

@@moretoastedthanatoasterstr9773 that sounds fucking gay, sort your shit out.
8:55 Nick and Stav simultaneously say “the magic isn’t there” and “I would never buy a CRT”. The boys were clueless.
2:23. Very Well spoken statement from Stav.
A lot of this is valid but Super Metroid is cancer on the switch, it's not built for a joystick and the dpad is trash
See how gay I am? It's starting to hurt (my asshole because of how gay I am)
11:09 Nick taking side shots at Stav 😂
Nick is based for liking Mass Effect
Everyone likes Mass Effect
Fuck yea. Blood Meridian and Death Stranding.
Someday i will nod approvingly while stavvy suffers for that 38 yr old guy who struggles to talk to women comment.
that's the single most perfect one-sentence description of Mass Effect 1 I've ever heard
I really like collecting video games but I don’t want any kind of set up you see in some game reviewer videos
Stav criticizing podcasters for laughing too much at jokes 🪦
If you insist on looking at pixel art on a CRT you should be jailed.
Older 3D models and pre-rendered sprites get a pass.
I dont know why but it makes me so angry when Nick asks "you know those old console televisions?" and Adam says, "the ones with the VCRs in them??"
NO, DUMMY
Im gay
Do you want to burn in hell? I’m hetero AF and I’m going to heaven
someone actually did make a Blood Meridian mod for RDR2
I tried listening to an audiobook of blood meridian and I was so confused lol
what’s it called I can’t find it
Wendigoon video on the book is fire
Cite your sources on this mod or you're hetero
Are you fr
Nick making fun of the crt stuff and the collecting but he secretly knows everything about both.
old games do look better on crts. not 900 dollars better but yea
Stav’s commentary in this is hilarious, he has absolutely no idea what Nick is talking about with reference monitors but keeps going “oh yeah right” and then you can tell how obscenely insecure he is about how little sex he has when he responds to that guy not having sex lmao.
stav is a remarkably bland person

nah death stranding rocks
Death stranding is sick. Not worried about alien gay sex conversation simulator
@@k_anthshit was dumb
@@k_anthno, it doesn’t you hetero
@@Gabriel-ci8ex nah it's cool
I love Death Standing
Nick names a movie or show… a pregnant pause ensues… stav immediately says he hasn’t played or seen it
I just had one of those teeth falling out dreams.
Stav: I never finshed that game. I never finished that book. I never finished that 90 minute movie.
eric might be the best running bit nick ever did
Astounding that Nick loves the original ME
Not really
I mean...you can lead a horse to water
Rdr2 is just a man-simulator for modern men
4:33 can I make this sadder?
Mass effect was the best
Nick would be the type to like Death Stranding. I loved it I just skipped every single cutscene. Delivering shit is the best
The problem with Her is I feel like if everyone realized they were talking to the same AI bot or whatever no one would care and they'd keep doing it
Waste of time boys ..The gators are just gonna be hungry again 15 minutes later 🙄
Did anyone else cry when they found out Arthur Morgan was straight?
Ily
I never finished her like my our boy stav... Yeah what a shit discovery lol
i clicked off the video but as soon as i did i heard "i wonder if there's a new garfield game coming out" and they pulled me back in
God damn I hope nick plays helldivers
Good one! What's the track at the end?
I swear the only thing stav has ever finished was a meal
Stay tuned we got some really good stuuuufffff
🧀
"one of these guys" lmao
listening to this while playing video games
Always hilarious when Stav says he loves something, Nick says; “oh you watched/played/saw/interacted with that?” And stav goes, ahh no I got bored and stopped. Kind of like everything else he does.
Brooo blood meridian mod
You ever finish Red Dead?
Stav: No, I got bored and quit playing.
You ever finish reading Blood Meridian?
Stav: No, I bored and quit reading.
You ever exercise and lose that 100lbs?

Anybody know what song that was played toward the end of the video?

Nick's totally wrong about CRT reference monitors. The quality is insanely better.
HD CRTs look better than any modern 4K bullshit when it comes to the old consoles. Their graphics were designed to look good with CRT tech, but modern games can also look better on CRT.
The only thing CRTs and Plasmas have over OLEDs is motion clarity. Otherwise, they are not as good.
@@TSL73 CRT had instant response times too.
For some reason I’m genuinely surprised Nick Mullen plays video games.
Nick sinking hours upon hours into Breath of the Wild during the pandemic is peak relatability

It's not a game for the average gamer. That sounded really reddit. I'm gay.
a game for autistic gay guys like me

You probably liked it because you're gay. I'm also gay.
Im surprised the boys dont know just how much better CRTs are for retrogaming.
