Watching this video for probably the 6th time. I live an hour from Funspot, met John a few times. I remember when this video first came out. It was a great time in my life. I remember being way into arcades, the Arcade Outsiders Podcast, Funspot, etc. Life is good now, but different. Watching this video is like going home. Thanks for the memories, John. May there be more. Cheers.
Seriously this looks like a great time, just guys from all walks of life chilling, having a few drinks and enjoying the lack of judgment that others might cast on them. These are the reasons why I LOVE going to comic cons and look forward to free play FL this year!
I'm glad everyone had such a good time. I heard it was a blast, unfortunately, I fell extremely ill and spent the last 3 weeks in the hospital. I hope to be healthy enough to get there next year.
Terrific video! There were certainly parts where the way the editing and music were done that it felt like it was a professionally made documentary. Great job John!
Great video! I'll admit I'm envious of the good times ya'll had. Being from Kansas I really wish we had something like Funspot that was anywhere close to us.
Really Awesome!! on the road video John love the video of the tour with you and Shawn. The little short with the duck and all the awesome looking games in the tournament. As always John keep up the work on your awesome videos.
John, The pizza fairy was me, Mike from Ohio. Probably the oldest and definitely the worst player that showed up. Went to support you and the event, and had a great time. Hope to see you and everyone next year.
I am living through you guys! Thanks for this vid. I wanted to get up there and meet you and the crew...maybe next time. Hope you do this every year. Maybe u do and I don't know, in which case I suck. Ha-ha. Great vids on the whole bro
Nice video. Could tell you were "feeling no pain" at the end when you were holding Sean in that 2 arm embrace. lol. But seriously looked like a lot of fun.
The obsession with the cabinets and artwork starts to grate - for me it's about the game, the gameplay, and the electronics :- esp. the early stuff. I personally don't care about the cabinet as long as the game works.
Wish I could have been there. *sob. The event hit right when I was moving to my new home and there was no way I could have gone. I was there in spirit tho. Looks like it was a blast.
The little score tags on your machines made me think. I wouldn't suggest getting rid of the tags, because they're cool, but you need one of those scrolling LED signs to put the high scores on.
John my name is lance jackson and I am a huge fan of your channel I love your arcade collection and I love your road trips and I like your restoration videos and I would love to build me a arcade sometime
I actually went to funspot once and it was amazing. I hope I get to go again soon. I had so much fun playing space harrier the sit down game and got to play the tmnt game that I decided to play it until I beat the game and I did. I was also able to play the dragons lair game for a bit but next day I went it was down so that was a shame. I actually played that zombie game it was kinda cool.
Great videos. Just got back from Pinball Wizard. Where in Mass are you from? I'm pretty sure you live close to us and own an Addams Family, TMNT Pinball and Taxi.
man yeah I wonder if those King of Kong guys get a lot of that after being in the movie? :P I looked up Pandora's Palace and I'm watching it and the music was super catchy, sounded very Konami-esque... sure enough I rewound to the beginning of the video (since it went by so fast I didn't see) and sure enough, their name was on the title screen! I'll definitely fire that one up in MAME later. My NEO*GEO dream picks though: Fatal Fury Special (was definitely the SF2 Turbo of the FF games) Metal Slug 2/X (personally wasn't into 3, that whole 'gaining weight' mechanic just slowed the game down imho) Aero Fighters (probably one of my favorite shmups on the NEOGEO) any of them are great really and yeah definitely one of the Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble titles probably 2 or AGAIN either one. great videos as always man!
I work in IT marketing and business development and many companies now are realising that these You Tube channels have a lot of followers. Sending you a phone costs them next to nothing but it gets them marketing coverage. Cool prize John.
So John, I know you arn't a car guy, but the car passing you on the left at 4:36 was a mercedes gt which is a really nice, fast car. Also the 911 on your right was nothing to sneeze at either.
This was a great video, just like the last year's Funspot video. I really would love to go to Funspot, but it would take a very long time to drive there - I live in Charlotte, NC. I would've loved to see the raffle winners and see what prizes you guys were giving away.
John, I would LOVE a graphic design tutorial! Also, don't you think LG would be mad that you will be giveing it away? But whatever. I will be sure to enter the raffle!
5-4-3-... 2 more weekends! Hard to believe it's been a year since the last one. This year is going to be bigger! Good Times. Get to NH! June 3rd & 4th. 2016. arcadeevent dotcom
Great video. And tour John. Love from Ireland. ShamrockGerry. Love life. And play like a champion today! Ps I watched king of Kong. Fist full of quarters. I would love Ben stiller and Owen Wilson. To play aka ( Billy Mitchell) and Steve webie. I a movie about the two. Fighting beat a record. In 80s video games. Maybe John you could put it out there. On the website. It's would be a great comedy movie.
Shawn looked so miserable the whole time. He was quiet and looked angry for some reason. You would think he would be happier going to one of the coolest video game events ever. Maybe he was sick? I don't know. Just a frown on his face the whole time and quiet no matter what you asked him. Oh well. At least the rest of you seemed to have a good time in spite of that. What a downer.
Hey John I would love to watch you show us how to recreate a cpo. I've got at least 2 or 3 games that could use one. I just don't feel like spending $60 or $70 to order these online. Keep up the great work and love the videos.!
Watch out for your sodium intake and Justin that so we sauce because it raises your blood pressure and I got hi blood pressure messing around with that stuff so be very careful with that
Watching this video for probably the 6th time. I live an hour from Funspot, met John a few times. I remember when this video first came out. It was a great time in my life. I remember being way into arcades, the Arcade Outsiders Podcast, Funspot, etc. Life is good now, but different. Watching this video is like going home. Thanks for the memories, John. May there be more. Cheers.
Does Brian kuh live nearby? Asking for scotland.
@@nathanjedrej792 Not sure. I know he did at one time. I'd be curious to know too.
Seriously this looks like a great time, just guys from all walks of life chilling, having a few drinks and enjoying the lack of judgment that others might cast on them. These are the reasons why I LOVE going to comic cons and look forward to free play FL this year!
It’s Better Than Bowlero and Dave and Busters in 2023!!! Thanks for uploading it.
Your buddies always look thrilled at your constant videoing lmao. Your buddy Sean with the white shades seems a real bundle of joy.
I'm glad everyone had such a good time. I heard it was a blast, unfortunately, I fell extremely ill and spent the last 3 weeks in the hospital. I hope to be healthy enough to get there next year.
Terrific video! There were certainly parts where the way the editing and music were done that it felt like it was a professionally made documentary. Great job John!
sausage party 2015. nice episode
Great video! I'll admit I'm envious of the good times ya'll had. Being from Kansas I really wish we had something like Funspot that was anywhere close to us.
Having listened to the Kuh omelette debacle, it really puts that little section at 20:21 in an odd light.
Re-watching some John's Arcade classics, and forgot about the "arcade bodytype" thing. lol
A cabin, right next to a bar? Ideal.
I'm rewatching some too, classics indeed :P
Great stuff John!! Hopefully your Brofest will become an annual thing.
Now that's a brofest! Awesome adventure!
I had a great time. Thank you all for putting it on.
P.S. Great video
Really Awesome!! on the road video John love the video of the tour with you and Shawn. The little short with the duck and all the awesome looking games in the tournament. As always John keep up the work on your awesome videos.
drizzt186 I like that duck. :)
John, The pizza fairy was me, Mike from Ohio. Probably the oldest and definitely the worst player that showed up. Went to support you and the event, and had a great time. Hope to see you and everyone next year.
Michael Salomone Mike, I was one of the guys who enjoyed your pizza on the beach. Thanks so much for doing that. You rock, man. Nice meeting you.
Michael Salomone It was my pleasure!
***** bon appetit
I am living through you guys! Thanks for this vid. I wanted to get up there and meet you and the crew...maybe next time. Hope you do this every year. Maybe u do and I don't know, in which case I suck. Ha-ha. Great vids on the whole bro
This is awesome. Sounds like Funspot has passed the torch to you :)
Nice video. Could tell you were "feeling no pain" at the end when you were holding Sean in that 2 arm embrace. lol. But seriously looked like a lot of fun.
I just watched Brad aka Orangewhip in a TNT Amusements video, he had the BroFest tshirt...he came all the way from Vancouver Canada!
great video!.So cool to see everyone flying in and hanging out and having a really good time!
I wish I could have made it to the Brofest. That looked like a lot of fun. Hopefully next year.
Great video. Wish I could have been there.
You make us so jealous dude great turn out by lots of folks that respect you
Great video. I hope to get to Fun Spot at some point. Maybe next year! Thanks for all you do!
Love the arcade walkthrough's, looking forward to seeing video of Grinkfest also!
The obsession with the cabinets and artwork starts to grate - for me it's about the game, the gameplay, and the electronics :- esp. the early stuff. I personally don't care about the cabinet as long as the game works.
Wow 22:25 even Eric Schmidt was there! How'd you pull that one?
Thanks for answering my question - I'll have to get Bust A Move Again. I have the original but not the sequel.
That was great ! It was like I went on the trip with you guys .
Hamstersssssssssssss Thanks, bro! We had a ton of fun on this trip! #SOMUCHWIN
+1 to the graphic design of the marque .... would love to see that!!! really enjoyed the brofest video
Good times man. I'm glad I got to meet you and the boys. Sorry if I act like a super fan boy... but I am! Lol. I'll go again next year. Thanks!!!
B. Ouellet Maritimers UNITE!
Stephen Rice Indeed!
Wish I could have been there. *sob. The event hit right when I was moving to my new home and there was no way I could have gone. I was there in spirit tho. Looks like it was a blast.

The guy on the sega hang on was the best part:)
Love the video John! If only as a reminder to get out of the house more :-) Thanks!
Love how you talk with your fingers..
I'm going through John's Arcade withdrawls! Only a few videos the past month. Come back pleeeaaaasee!
Looks like you had a blast.

I grew up going to FunSpot. Good times. Good times. :p

John, that's a great idea. Graphic design in the near future!
Jordan Helm Stay tuned!

I want to do brofest..looks like fun
Great video - but i gotta ask, what did you do to Phetishboy. he looked so bummed out the whole time!
***** Shawn had a great time! :) Maybe he he was a little camera shy. :D
***** was just about to ask that.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Great video John . looks like you guys had an awesome time.
*****
Well, do you ever listen to the podcast? That's just who he is.
***** Yeah i listen to the podcast. Love it! And you are right about that.
Is this the one where Brian took Greg's breakfast out of his hands in your cabin? xD The timeline seems correct.
"you guys have pizza"
LOOOVE THIS VID MAN!
My viewer mail would have been perfect for the few references to death race also seen at Fun Spot ;)
I love the quality of that camera please let me know what camera that you used in the model number I want one
Why did Funspot stop doing the tournament in the first place?
Would of came to JUST to visit, but was at New York State at the time.
Wasn't there a Black Widow at Fun Spot?
Thanks for the great time everyone!
That was an awesome video. See you in Eagle.
Damian Cordero Thanks, Damian!
Great videos. Just got back from Pinball Wizard. Where in Mass are you from? I'm pretty sure you live close to us and own an Addams Family, TMNT Pinball and Taxi.

Yay Johns video
So John, I know you arn't a car guy, but the car passing you on the left at 4:36 was a mercedes gt which is a really nice, fast car. Also the 911 on your right was nothing to sneeze at either.
Cool! :) 911s rule!!
New camera ? the video looks more crisp in this one?
I miss your Vids brother.
Is wired to hear Shaun speak without his mic cutting off in the middle of a sentence
Have you thought about making this a cell phone channel? ;) Fantastic video, brother. I missed you guys.
This was a great video, just like the last year's Funspot video. I really would love to go to Funspot, but it would take a very long time to drive there - I live in Charlotte, NC. I would've loved to see the raffle winners and see what prizes you guys were giving away.
(4:14) Oh my gosh. What’s going on with all this traffic?
It's be a great movie. About Billy Mitchell and Steve webie
John can you give some tips on how to start hobby like yours
I wonder what happen to Funspot 2016.....Dont tell me it suck that much lol....
Take a shot every time John says "guys". Better use beer, not liquor.
John, I would LOVE a graphic design tutorial! Also, don't you think LG would be mad that you will be giveing it away? But whatever. I will be sure to enter the raffle!
Hey John ... Any BROFEST shirts still for sale?
dboyslade Sorry, they are all gone.
2014 could've been trouble. That one could've been better.
Yeah. I agree that this one’s better.
(4:28) It’s “I think Greg is here already.” not “I think Greg are here already.”
heh clint tores is a great name, looks like you had a cool time
5-4-3-... 2 more weekends! Hard to believe it's been a year since the last one. This year is going to be bigger! Good Times. Get to NH! June 3rd & 4th. 2016. arcadeevent dotcom
great video john from terry schnell
Great video. And tour John. Love from Ireland. ShamrockGerry. Love life. And play like a champion today! Ps I watched king of Kong. Fist full of quarters. I would love Ben stiller and Owen Wilson. To play aka ( Billy Mitchell) and Steve webie. I a movie about the two. Fighting beat a record. In 80s video games. Maybe John you could put it out there. On the website. It's would be a great comedy movie.
who died last year from acam camp
Next Year... Brofest II - The Wrath of Sean...
Hi. Hope you don't mind me asking. But how do u afford all those cool machines? What do you do for work?
Watch the old videos. He's a grafic designer and most of the games are broken so they sell for cheap. Then they get fixed
curlyfm
They are cheap in the US.
Ok thanks for the info!
---Battle x star --- ( beyond the galaxy) starring Ben stiller and Owen Wilson.
no more videos ?? been 2weeks?
junbug doe Look for a video tomorrow! :)
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech OMG Yesss!!! I love your videos so much! Can't wait! :D

junbug doe I'm trying to upload right now!
I'm having internet issues or something. It is going slow. 😫
i wish i could be apart of this but im only 15 aand live in the uk so its pretty much an impossibility.
Shawn looked so miserable the whole time. He was quiet and looked angry for some reason. You would think he would be happier going to one of the coolest video game events ever. Maybe he was sick? I don't know. Just a frown on his face the whole time and quiet no matter what you asked him. Oh well. At least the rest of you seemed to have a good time in spite of that. What a downer.
53:00 lol john u so waEistd.. XD
Great vid John! Btw, does anyone see a resembles between Sean and Joe Giudice? :-)
Shawn just didn't seem very happy???
Hey John I would love to watch you show us how to recreate a cpo. I've got at least 2 or 3 games that could use one. I just don't feel like spending $60 or $70 to order these online. Keep up the great work and love the videos.!
Watch out for your sodium intake and Justin that so we sauce because it raises your blood pressure and I got hi blood pressure messing around with that stuff so be very careful with that
What's happened to this channel???
Nice views.
