My mom was killed by a drunk driver in 1999. She used to buy all of my games and the last one she got me was Ocarina of Time. Probably why it is my most cherished. I'm 49 and I still need my mom. The ache doesn't quite go away.
What a legendary final game for a parent to buy you. You're absolutely right, the ache doesn't go away, but the good memories will always be there.
that's heartbreaking...
that is heartbreaking to read :(
I am sorry for your loss
Don’t want to make people sad , my mum was in bed dying of cancer 2018 , at the time she was in good spirits , she always laughed about me playing video games I was 48 at the time , I just got the Nintendo switch , I showed her it and she held it and somewhat played Mario kart , my switch will be with me all my life knowing she touched it , she passed away a few months later , it’s a happy memory ,,,thanks Johnny for the video , and always appreciate your parents they not here forever ,
Rest in Peace.
My dad passed away in 2018 while struggling with cancer. Same exact thing, I got a switch a few months before and he'd watch me play and enjoy our time together. He always supported my love for games all through my life. Bought me a Sega Genesis, Gameboy color.. ps1 ps2 etc. So sorry for your loss. I like to think they're somewhere much better than this earth, looking out for us while we continue in this phase of existence.
My mom passed in 2018 at a younger age than you are now! Glad you got to have that experience!
@@milklordnomadicsending hugs. Sorry about your mom ❤
@@SlickSniper3 wow yes the same we have a great memory my friend , I feel where ever they are they are close to us , funny it’s the switch brings us to the same memory , on a happier note are you looking forward to the new swut
My mom did what most moms do: she told me not to spend all day playing, but she also bought me nearly every game I wanted. She never played herself, but she ended up watching me play some games like Resident Evil from the Gamecube. She was fascinated by how real it looked. I miss her so much.
Aww, bless.
that's awesome man
My mom used to be an excellent Bubble Bobble player with me and my sister.
we all miss our Moms
My mum died of cancer last year. She was only 62 and she had me at 36. I remember one time 13 or so years ago, she begrudgingly agreed to play Red Faction 2 with me. She obviously didn't get into it, but she clearly knew how happy it made me because I never had anyone to play with. What a legend.
RIP to her she was a lovely person
Man, footage of parents when they are younger is absolutely crushing to me. No matter how old I get, I can never accept the process of aging. It's so sad to me knowing that time and youth is finite.
My dad passed away on November 13th... I'll never get that day or the vision of his face out of my head. I miss him so much, thank you for speaking about this. It helps all of us who have lost a parent or our parents and are having trouble coping with it.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are right that you will never forget the day he passed, but you will start to think of the good times more and more.
time is a good healer , i cried for 1st 12 weeks but it gets easier
Johnny, you're truly a gaming legend. Almost 20 years ago.
Poor Rob, never stood a chance ranching those monsters
My dad was the one that got me started playing video games in the late 70's early 80's so in 1991 I had a full time job and lived with my girlfriend. When the Super Nintendo came out, I picked one up around August or September and instead of going home, I went to my parents place and hooked it up so my dad and I could play and we had such a blast. My father would pass away in late November so this is a memory I will cherish forever. I love these episodes and you to sir, cheers.
That's a really cool story. Sorry for your loss brother.
My mom passed away from dementia in December of 2022. I miss her everyday and life without her still feels like a hole in my life and sometimes I feel like I’m in a hole.
A month later my Mommy! Ditto!
We don't know each other but we are siblings in a sense of this planet Earth we both call home. My mother also passed and I feel that same hole. The harsh reality? It never fills, it never gets better. The other realty? You begin to plan flowers around it, build happy memories with your friends and family, and you begin to live next to the hole one day not looking at the emptiness but looking at the love and joy that made that hole in the first place. If she wasn't important, she wouldn't have made that impact. Our mothers are so lucky that they had children who loved them enough to mourn them, and although I know they don't want us to be sad we can't help it, we miss them so much. Guess what though, that pain of missing them could not have happened without so much love when they were alive.
Same with my grandmother recently. Wishing you all the best.
I'm 44. I randomly go back to old games and just wander around for a few minutes, tying into your last video about nostalgia and sentimentality. Last week, I turned on Lunar: TSS and just wandered around Caldor Isle and listened to the music. I used to get sad doing this. Now I feel more of a peace when I do it. I think I partially got bored of being sentimental and worrying about aging and just embrace it now. I never expected to reach a place where I don't get sad going back to my childhood.
That's good to hear, I'm 30 but I've been doing the nostalgia sadness thing since I can remember. It's very bittersweet, almost painful...lol. Hope to get to the place you are at with it.
@@frdsg8350 30 may have been my peak of sentimentality. From 25-30 is when you first realize that you're losing your childhood and it hits hard. After a while, it settles in and it loses the impact, as you already have gone down that thought process too many times. I, of course, can be hypocritical. On occasion I still have my moments when it can still hurt a little. The comforting thing is that we all go through it together. I know what you're going through and you know what I've been through. :)
I'm 35 now & my mom's still around (she's 67). She's always been cool with me playing games. She would still tell me not play too much a day like any parent would, but she has also bought me a lot of games & consoles, because I always had good grades & she actually enjoyed watching me playing. I bought her a Switch for her 64th birthday & playing Ring Fit Adventure is currently still one of her favorite activities.
The positive energy you bring when you talk about your gaming experience when your parents are involved I love it
Listening to John is like a portal to our childhoods in the same way that show the wonder years did back in the day. It taps into something and helps put words to emotions and helps us re live those emotions
I’ve grown up playing video games and my parents have always embraced my hobby, especially my Dad. He’s never been much of a gamer, but would always make an effort to attend and purchase new consoles/game releases with me and brother growing up. However, that all changed when the guitar hero series released and Rockband launched back on the 360/PS3; he’d spend hours playing all the games in the series and would even join in with me, my brother and our friends when we had guitar hero/rockband events at our house. Beyond that, he only ever watched me and brother play games, but always played them vicariously through us. In regards to my Mum, she loved watching me play Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 back in the day, and also I vividly remember her surprising me and my brother one day after school with brand new gameboy colours with 2 copies of Pokemon yellow. Both my parents always went above and beyond to show interest in our hobby and have always encouraged it throughout our lives. Another wonderful memory I have is receiving an N64 with a copy of Goodeneye 007 on Christmas morning of ‘97. The console was already setup and I remember playing the split-screen multiplayer with him for many hours (such wonderful memories).
My mom passed away in November of 2021 due to the stupid Covid shit and the Hospital but she's the one who got me a NES and the Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge. I will forever be grateful to her for it because we were poor and she really wanted to get me it back then. I'm 39 now and still play video games religiously. I miss her everyday and I have the first level of Super Mario Bros hanging above my TV as a poster to remind me of her.
My deepest condolences to you sir. My father died from this accursed COVID in 2021 and it was a nightmare. Still I see him in my dreams from time to time.
My mother was a gamer during the gamecube days and mario kart double dash really captivated her, she played with my older sister and they always had fun. I guess it's a nostalgic story
Best Mario kart game imo
Much love Johnny. This channel has the most heart on TH-cam. X
We love you Johnny!
I saw the thumbnail and I almost bailed... This is such a touchy subject for me. Lost my mom a long time ago... But to share a gaming story. My mom wasn't into games, but one day I was playing the Nes Ninja Gaiden in her room (only room with AC, this was the 90s)and for some reason she got into the game, became my one person cheering squad. She kept cheering me on. We were up till like 5am. I never could beat it, but I got to the last stage and if you know how rough the continue was at that stage... You can't blame me. Lol that is all. Ty for sharing John.
I almost lost my mom this year... im so greatful to God that she still here and I can enjoy her a bit more ... im sorry for your loss my friend.
God bless your mother sir!
My mom was amazed of The Legend Of Zelda The Ocarine of Time graphics and loved the music in that game. I remember she liked to watch my brother and I playing that game for hours.
I’ve said before on videos about your memory’s with your mum and dad but these run so true to my life experiences. Grew up in the 70’s 80’s 90’s with the birth of video games mum was from Yorkshire England. Remember getting all the consoles from Atari through to sega/nintendo through to the PlayStation eras. Fast approaching the big 5 0 now and have lost both parents now first dad to cancer then mum. My memory’s of my parents watching me play games consoles they had bought me at Christmas that seemed so insignificant at the time are so incredibly real and cherished now that I can literally picture them like they are happening.I only wish I could speak to them again I would give anything for more time to share a cup of tea and tell them again how blessed I was to have them as my parents I wish I had a family of my own now like you John. Thank you so much for sharing these you only have to look at the comments to see how much they connect with so many Love and peace to you John
I remember Christmas 1997. My mum looked at me with a smile while I opened a present with my brother. A Nintendo 64 with Goldeneye.
Both of your parents were amazing people! Love your stories and memories about them.
I'm very thankful we have you on TH-cam, thank you for sharing these stories. My favorite memory was winter of 2011 and my mom chilling, watching me play Skyrim, the music and ambience is so relaxing she would just play sudoku and react every once and a while.
Thankfully my mom is still alive, she’s very spry and bubbly and I love her very much and she was supportive of over the years helping me get the wii, xbox 360, ps4, the Nintendo switch for one Christmas with my siblings and even now she’s still supportive of whatever games or game console I get, definitely gotta make sure I let her know how appreciative I am of her support and she’s not like other moms who talk down about my video game habits, she’s awesome for sure, even as a 26 year old she’s seen me struggle with alot and I think she realizes how much playing a console game makes me calm 🙂
My grandma passed away last year at the age of 99, she was two weeks away from turning 100! I have very fond memories of her looking after me when I was five and I would show her Mario 64 and she loved it.
Most recent gaming memories would be bringing the family together playing Jackbox at her house with all my cousins and she loved seeing all of us laughing and enjoying the game together.
Sorry to hear about your mom Johnny! I lost my father at 21 but video games helped me through! Especially Nintendo! Great video as always
My Mom loved the hand-held gambling games -- Blackjack, and Poker. (So technically, she was a gamer, in her way.)
I used to visit her for the weekend, and would bring my PS1 and Doom and Final Doom.
She would chastise me, saying those games were terrible and bad. I would reply "Noooooo, am killing Demons from Hell -- how can that be
bad?? "Lol.
R.I.P Frances. 😔
My mother was very special to me and dad. I miss my mother 2/7/2022 and my spouse 1/29/24
It's painful that sometimes the closest that we get with someone is with the loss of another. But it's also beautiful, because it makes you realize that the best way to get through something like that is to be with someone you care for.
I know how important your mom was in your life and she fueled your passion for video games. And I know how important she was to this channel. I think we all miss her a little bit Johnny. Thank you for the video brother.
Its been 7 months since my mom passed in my arms unexpectedly on s family Christmas cruise. Somedays it still feels like just yesterday. Watching this video and reading everyones comments was hard.
Hang in there everybody
My mother was never into video games herself, but she LOVED sci-fi and horror, and she got me into watch so many awesome shows and movies. She passed back in 2016 and I still miss her to this day. Love you Mom.
Very sorry for your loss 😢, my Mom passed away a year ago and my Dad in 2022. We will always love our parents and their memories will be in our hearts. ♥️
My parents were never into video games, but that being said there was one that peeked my mom's interest. The Last of Us. I remember I started playing that game in the living room and like most times my mom would come into the room asked what I was playing and then wander off. However this time she stayed and for the next week or so continued to watch me play the game until the very end. She absolutely loved it. My dad even a couple of times stayed and asked questions about the story. Never was there any other game that I played where they showed interest in before and since.
Much love, Johnny!
Thanks so so much for sharing man. My Dad passed in 1997 as well and FF7 will always remind me of him. I appreciate you being so open about all of this. Games have been so important to my life and few people have understood that. You and your stories show why these games hold the importance they do.
My MOM liked to play DUCKHUNT with me when I was much younger. Life us so short so enjoy your time together.
My mom and dad both were gamers back when I was growing up,once the PlayStation came out they stopped. I have been age shamed alot throughout my teenage years into adulthood and even now because of my love of video games,but that hasn't stopped me. I just kindly and respectfully explained to them that this has been a huge part of my life and it is because of them that i was introduced to it in the first place,but also it has helped me through some rough times and helped me to find my best friends as well. Gaming has done alot of good for me individually and just the adventures and experiences i have had with video games that helped shape me.
My parents never really got it, but they did let me get a fair few games and my dad was gracious enough to gift me an SNES! We fought about it now and again, the classic fight of "why are you spending so much time on those things, go outside! "
But in the end they accepted that I was different, the games made me happy, and were part of my life. Bless you both, you were given a Geek, love you Mom and Dad!
I'm 21, my parents are in their 50s. My dad introduced me to video games, along with my brother. I grew up playing Mario and Donkey Kong games with my dad all of my life and we still play those games to this day. I usually had to wait for Christmas or birthdays for games, but I'll always remember when the switch came out my dad took me out to try and find one. We went to several different store but couldn't find it. He didn't have to do that, but he did. I ended up getting it for Christmas, but the fact that he was just going to randomly buy it for me always sticks with me. It always hits different when your parents buy a video game console just out of kindness, it makes me appreciate it so much more. I'm so grateful that they are both here and still healthy. Great video Johnny! Your memories remind me of my own!
I can tell your mom and dad were great people based purely on the great man they raised. Thanks for sharing these memories. It always warms my heart hearing about your relationship with your mom and dad.
Videogames is about memories. You're doing great Johnny, keep up the videos!!
I also would have to wait until birthdays and christmas for games. You're making me nostalgic for the 90s. What a nice video about your mom, Johnny.
Lost my dad in November. He's the sole reason I'm as big as a gamer as I am today. My earliest memories are breaking out of my crib to play Galaga. Over 30 years later and I haven't skipped a beat. Hang onto those memories guys. You never know when it's your time to go. Peace and Love
Much Love Johnny... may your Mother and Father rest in peace.
My parents have always been incredibly strange when it comes to me playing video games. Even today when a large amount of my income comes from video game related projects. They would constantly tell me it's a waste of time, or tell me to watch TV (yes very strange). It also wasn't something that consumed my life, I've always had a ridiculous amount of hobbies from a very young age. Playing guitar, writing music, bodybuilding and competitions, making things, fishing, dirt biking, drawing, painting, the list goes on forever. Yet for some reason video games were never acceptable.
The moment I bought my own home I repurchased it all the games of my childhood and they've always been a big part of my life. If you ever visit Kelowna come play my arcades! Thanks for the video, loved the stories.
Love hearing your stories around gaming. Like obviously the games are awesome too, but I think hearing about what was happening while you played them is great. It’s like a retrospective-life blog. Please Keep sharing your stories John. I’m here for it.
PS-
I’ll never get tired of hearing about PSO. ❤
My first memory with games and my parents was playing Snoopy vs the Red Baron on our Attary 2600 my dad bought back in the day, and my mom complimenting me for playing well. I was maybe 4 years old and fell in love with video games.
My mom thinks that she cursed me that day and video games are the reason of all my poor choices in life till this day...
You just might be my favorite storyteller on youtube... the stories always hit home.
Thanks for the video, Johnny. Reminded me of times with my parents. My Dad was a mechanic who had no interest in videogames but he always watched me play my Commodore 64. He passed away in 2002. My Mum was even less interested but I have a vivid memory of her watching me play GH2 on Xbox 360 back in 2007. Message in a Bottle by The Police (she liked the band). She watched me play the whole song on Expert and smiled at me when it was done and said "Well done". I was 28 at the time but it meant a lot. She passed away in 2020. I will always miss them both and still play too many games. Haha.
7:07 that isn’t silly at all. it’s the little moments adding up (sunshine, family, joy, and snacks) that make up the bulk of meaning in the hearts of our lives. they’re what I live for. they’re what I love.
I'm sincerely sorry for everybody's loss when it comes to any relative that's past. I'm lucky enough to still have my Mother alive, though she has lupus, she's still staying strong. I just wanted to say, I love you and this community and I hope she's looking down on you from Heaven and thinking to herself, "THATS MY JOHNNY, And I'M PROUD OF HIM"
Sorry for your loss. My mom was so supportive of my gaming back in the mid 80's . When I got my Nintendo. She also got me a subscription to Nintendo Power. I love hearing your stories about the old days of gaming, it brought up so many happy memories. Great job on the channel.
Similar to you, I have a very simple memory of my mom bringing me a homemade breakfast sandwich while playing chrono cross. Nothing life changing. But this memory has always stayed so strong in my mind, I think it might just be because it was such a warm feeling. I still lean on that one sometimes, love to you ❤.
Love your vids johnny, especially ones like this. Happy and sad at the same time because you made me think back to when mario 64 came out and my dad was playing it just as much as i was for a bit. He passed 4 years ago at the young age of 52 and watching this made me remember some fond gaming memories with him. Cheers!
This video made me so happy to watch Jonny. Glad you had such fond memories over the years. Never forget them, never let them fade. And above all else give your little girl those same memories.
So happy to still have my mom. She got my brother and i's first ps2, gamecube, and my brother his first xbox. We didnt have a lot of money growing up as she was a waitress. One of my favorite memories is of when she got me samurai warriors for the ps2. I played TF out of that game lol
I grew up in Bellingham. We used to go to Bellis Fair all the time. My mom would go to KMart and I would always want to go to Funcholand 😅 thanks for jogging the nostalgia.
My parents never bought me any games or machines I had to get a job and buy them all myself.They thought it was all a waste of time.Decades later my Mum has dementia and said to me “you know I was told by the hospital staff that playing video games is very good for dementia “ 🤷♂️
Johnny and your Mom are awesome!
My father bought us a master system when we were kids. Only later you realize this man worked in a restaurant 6 days a week 12 hours a day for low wage, and spent his money to give his kids something fun.
Awesome video Johnny! Thank you. When I was young I have great memories of playing Atari with my dad in the basement. My mom I lost when she was about 54 to breast cancer. She supported me in everything. One birthday I asked my aunt for Robocop, and she gave me Robowarrior. Mom made sure I got Robocop a little later. My mom also helped me get my first Nintendo when my dad insisted we get Top Gun with the Action set. My mom also encouraged me to pursue art and theatre too. She was one of a kind as I’m sure your mum was too, Johnny. So many good memories of my parents. Thank you for reminding me of that. Love your parents while you can, when you can.
I’m not gonna lie, this video made me tear up. So many good memories and it reminds me of my own! 😭😭
Thanks for sharing this with us John. You only have one mum and you had a good one❤
A wonderful mum you had, Johnny. Without her we wouldn’t have had the joy you share with many of us!
Amazing episode. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom 7 years ago. She actually used to sit with me and watch me play. We would actually tag team games like Resident Evil, Uncharted, Tom Raider and The Legend of Zelda. She would help me with some puzzles in the games and we would basically clear the game. I will always treasure those times.
I have watched this a million times and it reminds of memories with my dad. Thanks Johnny for making this
Love this video, despite being tinged with sadness. We lost our Dad in 1983 Aged 39.
A couple of years Before he died he bought is a Pong type home consoles. Our first game system.
Then soon after he died, money was tight but our Mom bought us an Atari 2600.
Still a gamer to this day, with fond memories of the old systems and new games from today.
Thanks to our parents for setting us on this fun ride.
My parents are older, both 70+ and especially my dad has always tought that games are a waste of time and money, even though he did have a brief stint of playing PC games in the early days of computer gaming, mainly Boulder Dash and Sim City and simple games like that and he was also the one to get us our first home console Commodore 64 as well as a SEGA Master System, a Game Boy and a SNES. These days he only play games on mobile and once again mainly building sims.
Jon you're a gem in this space with too much negativity and scandal, you're here being one of the most human creators around. You honor your parents through your work and life and i am sure they are smiling prouldy from up above
My mum helped me buy a PS2 when I was going through a very hard time. I was on the metaphorical ropes, so to speak. But with the healing energy of Grand Theft Auto 3. I was able to keep my head up high and because of that , I will never forget what my mum did for me. I love my mum ❤
Much love Johnny,, hope you and the family are well. My father used to play games with me. I cherish those memories especially now that he is gone. Today is actually his birthday, he was 64 when he passed and would have been 66 today. I couldn't ask for a better video topic from your Sunday video Johnny, thank you.
I wish my parents had played even 10 minutes of games on my Spectrum 48k + with me. I'm only 2 years younger than you John and I think my folks were too worried about looking silly by not understanding technology as they were working class (my dad went to school with Ozzy Osbourne 😆). I wouldn't have cared less and just enjoyed sharing the memories. Your mum sounds like she was a great friend as well as mother. Big Love from Ireland to you and your family John 💚
I'm 29 now and I will always love my mum she's still alive and I will always be there for her every step of the way she always appreciated my love for video games and I will always thank her for that so be appreciated by your parents
Always love your gaming stories Johnny! Sorry for your loss. Super relate to this story, I lost my Mom to cancer in 2012 and she was my no. 1 supporter and always got me the toys and the games I asked for.
Lovely stories & special memories Jonny.
This is exactly why we love not only your show but gaming full stop.
We remember all the weird & wonderful times.
One of mine was in the front living of my then girlfriends house playing snes super mario world.
It wasn't the game that made the day special but what happened that day.
Me & her two brothers hid below the front window & waited for passers by in the street outside.
Then in the weirdest voice you've ever heard we'd shout really loudly NIN-TEN-DOOOOOOO😂😂😂😂
The look on their faces was priceless.
40 yrs later & when we bump into one another one of us always shouts NIN-TEN-DOOOOOOO😂😂😂😂
HCG... may she be granted peace brother. I said thisblast time but it was always a delight to see her as your guest. Great video Johnny.
I my FATHER at 52 years old. Thank GOD above that ME and my SISTER still have our MOTHER.
Hope you're hanging in there Johnny! Just lost my grandmother two weeks ago. Growing up she would pick me up from school every Friday, and on the last day before any school vacation we had she would always bring me to GameStop and buy me a game to play over the break. She would babysit as well when I was too young to be left home alone and would often watch me play as well, and just like you were saying with your mother, she always seemed interested in the concept of video games but was definitely hesitant to jump in and try them herself.
My mom passed away a few weeks ago due to cancer. Last year I took time off from work to help care for her and take her to chemo. It was a difficult time for many reasons but your videos helped me forget and feel normal.
It's so good to see you putting pictures of your mom in your videos John. She was such a pretty woman and you can tell in the pictures and video clips that she was proud of you. Thanks for paying homage to your mother John. It's good to see good wholesome content. And learn about your family. I look forward to your videos every Sunday. They usually make my day a lot better personally. I love learning about your life and the video games you like. Keep up the great work. I know it's got to be hard to keep putting out something new to talk about every Sunday but you're a pro at it. Love your friend and fan, Cody.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your heart with us. My mom lost her mom (my grandma) last year, and she lost her dad when she was 19. She doesn't talk about her feelings much but I know she aches for her parents everyday. I think it's the quiet moments where we can feel the most vulnerable. My mom has always encouraged me to keep playing video games, and I even tried to get her to play with me, and it was with the first ratchet and clank on the PS2. My mom got stuck at that water level.
My parents bought me games as gifts but never took much interest in them. I was fine with it, a different generation for sure. You have such incredible recall. Thank you for sharing those wonderful memories with us. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. 🙏
@Johnny This was a lovely video and the memories smile inducing. Thanks for this, you continue to be a place that makes me a better person for watching. Best wishes to you, Kim, and the family
Thanks for sharing about your fond memories of your mom and gaming. My mom initially wasn’t a huge fan of me and my brother playing video games, she was eventually supportive of it. Bought us some games, and she would sometimes watch us play them.
My parents were never into gaming but they understood how passionate me and my older brother were about it so they would buy us both two different consoles each time they released. My bro got the SNES while I got the mega drive, my bro got the Saturn while I got the PS1, my bro got the game gear while I got the Gameboy etc.
I'm 38 now and my mum still rolls her eyes whenever she hears me and my bro talk to each other about the game's we're currently playing.
Some of my most deeply cherished memories are playing PS1 (and later Gamecube) games with my mum. She helped me complete Spyro & would play SSB melee with me and friends on occasion. As I get older I find myself more and more aware of the fact that my parents won't be around forever, and these small memories become much more meaningful. I'm sorry for your loss, but I think this video is a great piece of memoria for your mum, and all the other mums who put up with us playing games for hours instead of going outside.
great video of memories. i lost my Dad unexpectedly this last New Year's Eve. he was a great man. i remember him playing my NES in the late 80s after my bedtime. i would sneak down the hall and watch him and my Mom play Super Mario Bros. and Pac-Man. my Dad also bought me Final Fantasy 8 at EB Games the day it came out. i still have that copy today. i will miss him forever
I appreciate the story man. You just unlocked a lot of memories for me. Of times I had with my mom. I thank you for that
The only game my mom watched me play from start to finish was ff15. The game could’ve been better but just going through everything with my mom will always be a memory I cherish forever and we loved the game. It’ll always hold a special place in my heart just because of that.
Momma please meet with his momma in heaven he's such a good man he's provided me a lot of happiness over the years even way back 10 years ago when I lived in Japan and I was lonely.
me and my mother used to play amiga games together a lot. its where i fell in love with gaming, the challanges you would face, the puzzles, combat, stratagy and much more. its the only good memeories of my childhood i have. to this day i will come on youtube and open up the turrican 2 sound track or chaos engines sound track and as i listen im taken back to those days i feel the joy i had hearing the awesome sound of the amiga.
So sorry for your loss. Wishing you and your family all the best during these difficult times. Follower from wayyy back and this is still the best retro gaming channel. Thank you
Big hug to you, my friend. I lost mom in 2011 and I still miss her ❤
I watch every video you make, I really like you as a human being and I love your chanel.

My Dad wasn't a gamer, but he was a musician. And I remember having him hear the bassline to casmo Canyon. He nodded. He had that moment, he got it!
Lovely memories, so glad you managed to get your mum on the show too! My mum is kind of the same way, enjoys me playing games and used to watch sometimes, but didn't really understand the appeal at the same time 😅 I need to get her on camera sometime to talk about it!
