@georgebrown905: One of the best speeches about retro gaming I’ve ever heard just goes to show that there’s more to this than just some old games these are our memories our childhood and while we can’t go back we can fondly remember all of it and these games are direct links to a lot of those times #avgn #retrogaming #nintendo #contra
19 years of watching AVGN, I grew up in the 2000s and 2010s but every time I see his videos they make me remember the best times of my childhood.

The saddest part about this is knowing that companies want to remove ownership of games by making everything all digital. Popping a game into a console is a part of the experience but to take it all away for profit is truly heartbreaking 💔

The nerd is the reason why I love being a fan of retro video games. I am not getting rid of my games until I die.

Thats not fair. James was supposed to be yelling a string of foul words at retro games. Not making me tear up think about them.

I used to stay the night at my friend’s house every weekend when I was younger, we’d stay up all night and play CoD Black Ops 2. We eventually drifted apart, and I haven’t talked to him since we briefly chatted in high school. I don’t think he’d like who and what I am nowadays anyway, but I still hold those memories close

that last little bit got me. I have a copy of Pokemon Sapphire I started with my dad that we never finished. One summer I beat the rest of the game with the team we built together. That cartridge still has that save file and it will until my dying day.

the Contra and Earthbound videos are hands down some of his best work. AVGN is at his best when he cares about the subject matter. Bring back the weekly movie reviews!!!

We hold our childhood because it made us who we are, and we'll cherish that for the rest of our lives. Something that should never be sacrificed

It’s how I feel about the GameCube era and playing Windwaker for the first time. I got both for Christmas in 2002 and was over the moon. I lent my copy of Windwaker to a friend and never got it back. One of my favorite gifts and it was stolen from me. Thankfully I got another copy a few years later, but still. I still revisit Windwaker every so often, same with Twilight Princess, and I’m hit with the same feelings all over again
