You do keep your channel interesting 👍🎄
Evidently a Mickey collector had already been to that store. Stay safe and GOD BLESS.
You are living the life my friend. Good for you!!!
I.m 76 and I was in love with a pinball called SIN BAD in the 60/70 So happy for you.
The lighting on the house made a really cool effect when you are unloading those arcade games
Glad you and Jax are doing great, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO BOTH OF YOU,👋🐈💞🌹🌹
DITTO
Love that Illinois LOGIC don't you ? Your lawn sign says it all .
I wish I could fix those things. I would love a Ms Pacman and I love Centipede!! "How to fix" videos would be welcome! Fun times!
You should go back to your old mic this one sounds odd
Wonderful find! My favorite was Centipede 🤗😁 Honestly I am drooling over you awesome cigarette machine! 🤓 MY FAV TIME!! Art Deco! Actually I collect smoking accessories. 😍 I would ❤ Love to live in a house, to have 'some' room for my collections. You special, so why not treat yourself to special things 😊 Love ❤ you and Jax and if you ever need a 'buddy' to play with.....I'm here. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
You're going to have to shore up the floor joists and install a larger electrical service panel in that house to accommodate all of your "collections".
🤣🤣The lights go down in town when Eric's home!
Nice! I collect old machines. I have Centipede, Pac Man, Asteroids, Tron, After Burner, Out Run, Cruisn World, and a few others. Be careful, collecting arcade machines is addictive. I started with one :)
Beautiful looking arcade cabinet, congratulations. 🧐💯
When you don’t see snow often it’s thrilling, we felt that way when we moved from Florida 🌴❄️☃️ to Tennessee
I had Buck hunter, Golden tee and The Big hurt pinball... Literally just sold them for the van build!! We are switching spots in life!!!
I admire your hard work ethic Eric. Even your pass times require it and you just go for it! Rock on!
How cool. I think having a game room is cool!
I love Ms Pac Man. It was my favorite game in the 80's. How cool that you were able to get your hands on one and in such great shape. Enjoy!!!!!
Ms. Pac Man and Space Invaders. I would lose track of time playing them. I'm from the 80's too.
Hey Eric, it looks like you are having ALOT of fun, getting those video games!! That's great! Never let the kid in you disappear!!! It's too fun!! Give Jax a big hug for me 🤗❤️.
it be nice to have a retro neon sign like the one from Flynn's!
Heck ya!
Something here brings to mind an adage about men and boys and toys. As my father-in-law omce told me "There's a lot of boy in that man!" Enjoy the play time , Eric! Make the most of what you like!
You know how to have fun, that's for sure!
Keep the video up! Love the content!!
Merry Christmas to you and Jax!🎄🎄 This was a fun video to watch. Glad you finally got to see some Illinois snow. Take care and hug Jax for me.♥️🐱🐱
Glad you made it back home safely.
Merry Christmas Eric to you and Jax! Thanks for a great year of videos, travel, both the ups and the downs.
Like the song says, “I hope you had the time of your life!”
My favorite kind of snow are little 'flurries' like that. Prolly cause I'm a Texan and that's about all we ever see. :) I worked at an arcade back in the 80's. Did ya know you can reprogram Ms Pacman to have less monsters (or more)? I was super addicted to Asteroids. You have made me think maybe I should look into buying one. No one would ever see me again LOL
I love Ms Pac Man! I can play it for hours on end!
I worked for a vending company in Florida in the 80s we had arcade games in over 2500 convenient stores state wide, repaired them on-site, restored them , degowsed monitors , Tempest and Spy hunter were my huckleberrys
Eric, "There is no ice on the road."
Me, "But there is usually ice on the bridges!" ☮💜
There is also black ice, when the road looks like its only wet watch for icy roads , black ice.
Snow is snow and that's what it is. It stays cold for awhile then it warms up and melts.
Nice finds, Eric! Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Adjust your shutter speed on the camera to a higher rate.
You remind me of Tom hanks in the movie Big, when he moved into his first apartment.
Haha. Life goals.
@@Imstillarockstar81 you mean with Sponge Bob, Mickey-Disney paranaphanilia and not sleeping in his new digs? I agree!
You always boost my spirit up 😻💗
Merry Christmas ⛄☃️🎄 thanks for taking us 😻💕 i don't like illinois but your home is adorable I'm happy you have a safe place if they shut all down again
I enjoyed this video was like hanging out with you in person
Neat finds 🐱
Glad to see your Pritzker Sucks sign. He certainly does.
My all time favorite was Dragons Lair.
"Snowstorm" - I love the view people have across our country about what is a snowstorm and what is not. 😂 I can't wait to be a fulltime skoolie or RV person. Where I am we get 150-180 inches of snow annually. I am over it.
I always wanted many arcades for myself, but I just dont have the extra funds, or even the space for them. If I were to get one, I'd probably save for a custom MAME arcade that had 1000s of games included just to save the space and really get the best bang for your buck, all with just one cabinet. Having a real deal cabinet or even a fully restored arcade cabinet would be great to own. I have a quite a few favorites from early in my life that would be awesome to own.
Thank you for sharing this with us!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Oh man me and my step brother would sneak out and walk up to the EZ Mart and play video games until 2am my grades kinda sufferd that year. Those things bring back the memories
Very nice episode. Cool stuff you picked up!
Merry Christmas Eric and Jax
No Centipede? My favorite. Stay safe and warm.
Merry Christmas 🎄!
I put at valve in my propane tank line. I close the valve on my main tank and use a 40 pound external tank while parked for extended stay. You could use Blue Rhino refilled tanks from Lowe’s or another carrier when needed.
If you're looking for propane near Coleman's Country Campers and the Flying J, go to Scott's Welding Supply on 111 in Pontoon Beach. There will someone there that can fill your propane tanks.
That snow is beautiful, it's a sweaty 72F down here in the swamps of central Florida.
I love old arcade games looks like you're having fun Bud good for you cheers
I gave up arcade around 1985 , because the control switches usually dont work well so you cant play long
I’ve got my quarters ready.... when can i come over to play?... your lights look great out front of your house too.. Well done Eric..Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year to you and Jax..sending much LOVE from Ontario Canada🎄☃️❤️
OMG! I’m so jelly! How awesome!!
The ad was for a movie about Nomads! Right on-point 😁
Dude! Thats so cool. Im jealous but excited for you. Cant wait to see what that shooter is. You know, once you have an arcade your gonna need friends to share it with. Im just over in Kansas city, know what im sayin? Seriously though, congrats man, cant wait to see it all set up.
Just when we Kentucky and Indiana get a big cold snap...oh, snap!😄
The generator has given you a real lift. Good to see.
Hehe. Yup
@@nomadicfanatic Johns arcade channel. Has an arcade in his basement and knows everything about restoring and crt tunes and tvs. He'd be happy to answer questions.
@@nomadicfanatic That ms pacman def wasn't $300. $1500 or more?
Asteroids! Asteroids! Asteroids! Asteroids!
That was my favorite from back in the day, along with a 2 player head to head submarine game (Side by side on 1 screen with a divider to keep you from peeking) [Or 1 vs AI] where you each control a sub trying to sink the other players fleet (or his sub). [Not a periscope type game]
Your videos are always a great joy to watch. I myself heading back home, ( Missouri) for Christmas leaving Texas, where I'm wintering this year. Be careful have fun with your new toys. Merry Christmas from Traveling Grandma
Expecting our 3rd snow tomorrow in NW Oklahoma. Woke up to 11° this morning..7° wind-chill..
Oklahoma is same right now. In our area doesn't have a certified person to pump propane into RV's..we had to go 168 miles to get.
Kinda funny seeing you in that Goodwill in Henderson KY! I usually have the same experience you did, heh. Hope you enjoyed your trip through the Henderson/Evansville area (although there isn’t much here, lol). I’ve been entertained during quarantine watching you travel around with Jax...I traveled with my two cats recently and that was...an experience!
Eric, your house will be the most awesome house on the block. Heck the whole town! Can we come over and play? Merry Christmas.
ACE Hardware in Benton, Illinois can fill propane. Just had it done.
Sooooo cool I’m a huge retro game lover also. Merry Christmas from Kentucky ;)
Congratulations Eric!! So cool. 😊
You are a bit nuts, and I kind of like it. Hidden bonus of your 'new' hobby - instant savings account; one quarter at a time. I am also guessing you might look at resale value down the road.... Merry Christmas!
Love the machine you love also
What’s up! Happy Holidays!!!
The old arcade games look so cool! That would be so much fun to play!! Love the video!
Mr. Jax is keeping the house safe.
Arcade Video Games restoration very cool. As far as the snow, and cold ❄️ goes, be careful of what you Wish for, you just might get it. Lol. 🥶. Stay Alert. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I would die for a mrs pacman!!!!!
Snow puts you in that Christmas mood😁
That's awesome how cool!!!
Merry Christmas!! Nice video
On your car, my son had one, if you let off the gas when the yellow arrow on the dash comes on the trans will shift smoothly. Just a hint to drive a great little car.
It’s frickin cold everywhere this week. Time to get a bigger house. With RV covered parking! Darn it! I was hoping for the full reveal like what I saw on Instagram!
You could make your place a B&B for guys wanting to get away. It’s the perfect man cave place with the arcade games and all.
Hi there Eric and Jax love your packman game we use to have one played all day. I was happy you made it home safely to Jax. Thanks for all your videos keep them coming. Give Jax a hug Stay safe out there your friends Gerry and Pat from Amarillo Texas hee haw 😀
Fun times...
I’m loving the snow. No snow here in Texas.
Pinball machines are awesome. Loved helping my husband do repairs on them.. nothing like them... most have a test mode to let you know whats working or not is not other clues... capacitor kits f8x most problems. Was that a Ms packman?? That was really popular.. saw the logo before you said the name.. the steob8ng 8s just the cycles being caught on the screen..by the camera..
Congrats, Ms Pac-Man was always my favorite. Pac-Man with cutscenes!
Great to see you having fun!, that machine looks fantastic!!
Great video thank you!
Those arcade machines bring back good memories, especially Pac Man. :)
Oh what fun! My brother does that too ! They can be so much fun to play! Have fun Eric saty warm! Keep that Coach warm don't need anything getting cold in Miranda!
Great buy and you will need to build an annex to your house.
Jax - KING of the Castle & "cute as a button."
I love snow ⛄️
My favorite game..MS.PAC MAN, I like the one that you could sit down and play. It came out later than the one you had to stand up for Have fun and what a great party idea. Safe Travels.
Ms. Pac-Man I’m coming right over with lots of quarters!!
That's cool. Enjoy! If I was able to get me one arcade machine to pick from it would be for sure the original "Missile Command".
Come back to Paducah, Kentucky! Antique Capital of the World.
Cool games - it will be a nice break when you're home.
Finding a cherry ms pack man is not cheap, I’ve owned both the stand up and cocktail table versions. Still my favorite game to this day.
Love the videos. Keep it up
WOW WOW how cool was that Ms Packman loved it cant wait to see your other toys. Its good to see you happy and enjoying life. Jax you are looking good too.
I found a Nintendo play choice 10 in the trash when I was younger… I kept it around for a few years and sold it. Really wish I still had it.
Ground temperature is warmer than the air temperature yet, fortune is in your favor. 🧐🚜🚐
Awesome 👍 packman see yah Eric and Jax hugs always
