Something about James’ calm voice gives the energy that you’re visiting friends and they’re showing their collection. James just exudes ol’ mate energy
He's an ol' mate you can bring with you.
For me it’s the fact that there’s no “HEY GUYS WHATS GOING ON, ITS YA BOY AND I GOT A GREAT VIDEO TODAY SO REMEMBER TO SMASH THAT LIKE….” etc.
Just a solid guy sharing something interesting with people.
@@josho4228honestly I can’t tell if there’s anyone who isn’t stuck in 2016 CZcams mindset who does that kind of intro but I certainly don’t miss it
Snes the best
@josho4228 or the fact that they also say "BUT BEFORE WE BEGIN, THIS VIDEO IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY "Company name here"!
Not only is James just a really cool guy, he has cats 🥰
MOAR KITTIES!
TWO PURRING FRANKS?!?!
that's the only thing bad about him
i would let him do anything to me
Dankpods (Wade): Fronk the Chonk
James: C O T S
As someone who was born in the mid 80s, it’s funny to hear little explainers like ‘we used to rent video games from blockbusters’ or ‘we couldn’t use this port, didn’t even know what it was’. But it does make me think about how different we experience these things now, and this sort of seems like a cool historical artefact.
The Mega Drive was the first console we had as well - it was second-hand from someone my parents knew but it came with a copy of a game called Desert Strike (I loved that game and it's sequels BTW). Anyways, one of the games you showed for the SNES, Rock 'n' Roll Racing was a game we borrowed from the local newsagents (who did the whole video hire thing) - both me and my sister liked it so much we ended up convincing the folks to by a copy to keep. A hell of a lot of nostalgia here :D
I'm not old enough to have had a mega drive, but I remember playing desert strike and f-22 interceptor on Fusion and MD.emu. pretty fun game!
SUPA NINTENDO SEGA GENASIS WHEN I WAS DEAD BROKE I COULDNT PICTURE THIS
Hearing the Word Hire in place of rent is funny, is that a normal Australian thing? Also, excited for your channel! Cool history of your vidyagames
I think they're used interchangeably down here.
Another difference I noticed is that we never referred to them as "video stores" as Americans do, we would usually just refer to the name of the store (Video Ezy, Blockbuster, Civic Video).
@@Millennialtomb That’s something Americans do, too. We always said “let’s go to Blockbuster”, not “The video store”. Maybe it’s a regional thing?
@@Zerphses You're probably right.
@@Zerphses In some parts of Australia, people will put an "s" after the name of a store. "Let's go to Blockbuster" would become "let's go to Blockbusters". It probably explains why so many stores down here end in an "s" by default e.g. Coles, Woolworths, Bunnings.
It depends: in the uk, we'd call it a video store unless it was a chain, like Blockbuster.
In much the same way we were going for a takeaway, unless we were going to Subways or Mc-Coronary Disease.
the rf story really resonated with me. as a younger sibling, i was on dedicated cable wiggling duty when my brother and i were playing ocarina of time, and occasionally the picture was good enough to see
Twice the cat in this one. Very good. Cool to hear about your experience with getting into video games.
the second i saw the stickers on home alone game i just screamed “VIDEO EZYYYYYYYYY” out loud in public. I miss that store so much
Me too. Streaming doesn't hold a candle to that place. Shit, neither did Blockbuster.
@@Millennialtomb i still have a copy of meet dave and a few others from video ezy
@@scorpionelite2543 I've got a few Doctor Who tapes from there.
This is the diametric opposite of youtube drama. Just a person positively and lovingly engage with something that means the world to them. It's so nice to see people turn positivity inward as opposed to negativity outward. So glad to be here on the ground floor for what I am sure will be a grand adventure!
Huh?
Your collection looks freakin sick dude! I know it would be a long video, but I'd love to see a tour of your collection.
I 2nd this request/suggestion!
Best of luck with your own channel James! I’m not sure if your content will be for me tbh but I love the chemistry and dynamics you guys have on Garbage time so I’m sure this will be entertaining too
As a European, specifically English, Nintendo in the early 90s didn’t have much of a grasp here, so I was a sega boy, master system and mega drive, though later my uncle got a SNES, and I remember I always loved playing it, Top Gear (not related to the tv show) was an amazing racing game that riffed on outrun, had an amazing soundtrack too. Good to see you have you own channel James, can’t wait to see loads of “ol’ mate” fixes
Top gear is awesome, didn't played much of the first but top gear 2 was my favorite game
God it's so refreshing to hear "seega mega drive", and even "mega CD". I swear I've spent so much time listening to Americans, I was starting to think I just hallucinated that name.
I sure do remember those 90s TVs too... we had ours so long I had to buy an RF unit for my N64. Didn't realise we needed one the day I bought it of course, so I have vivid memories of that first night trying to play Ocarina of Time though just... impossible amounts of static.
Sega genesis just sounds terrible to me being used to the word mega drive it sounds like a Phil Colin's songs gonna start playing when you boot it up lol
Also I agree so many Americans on here hearing "Sega CD" over and over I actually forgot It was called mega CD over here lol 😅
The first ever console I have vivid memories of playing was my great grandmothers SNES. Jamming out levels and (eventually) beating Super Mario World with my brother is what I remember my world being at 5 years old. Ironically, the original SNES is 13 years older than me. The console is in my hands now, in its yellow, gray, and purple US spec glory.
Looking forward to jameschannel cause it means james has a channel
Very nice collection. N64 and game boy color were my earliest consoles, my dad woke me up late one night to show me he bought mario kart 64 and we played for hours. Before that I always just watched him play PC strategy games.
holy crap, that green video ezy sticker on the Home Alone box brings back memories of riding my bike to my local one.
This is like a weird alternate universe dankpods, even with animal at the end and all!
I've learned so much about video game history thank you so much James for all the videos!!
bro seeing video ezy was such a nostalgia trip for me, used to go there all the time with my father and rent games and movies
I like this vid it’s like stories about your video gaming “adventure” through the years, nice cats 😸
i never really was into oldschool games, but i really like your content, its just so janky, funny and genuinley nice to watch. but i also never was into cars, ipods and headphones, and wade got me interested in all of them, i think you will succeed too!
Hyped you’ve got your own channel on the go now! Great vid to start with too lots of nostalgia. Got my dads Mega Drive given to me as my first ever console in about 94/95 and rinsed it. Still got that same one kicking around somewhere but I think I needs some soldering done
Can’t wait to see some of your DDR and rhythm games dude!
You're going casually through your collection and my eyes glow up when I spotted LHX Attack Chopper, loved that game when I was a kid.
During this era of gaming I just played my cousins systems. My family were very low income so I didn't get my own game system until the PS2. This was my first gen of real gaming I remember and what I think of when people say retro, my mind doesn't even think of NES first lol.
Obviously channel grew quick but happy to be here, loved the personal retrospective
Great short form story, mate! Cheers on the channel 🎉
Man this is a great channel. Thanks dank pods for telling us that this exists.
this channel is going to be awesome :), i like your story about getting your first console etc
I've just stumbled onto this account today and I must say, It's uh interesting I love it though! Keep it up james fr fr
Woah 2 cats? This is even better than I thought
Wow! James tamed an Australian cat
I love stories like that, can you make a video about a console you had after the SNES? I would really love that!
you should put some vydia game ost you like in the background :)
nice video either way ! 👌
What a beautiful lovely story jj❤️😭
Really liking the channel James. I'd love to see a gameroom tour video
Love you guys. Please look after the donkey van. I am a carer for my mum. Been trying to get a van. Things are tough brother in Australia. Me and my mum loves your channel and thank you for doing other stuff
I used to rent PS2 games and DVD from my central Victorian town's Video Busters. No idea if the two are related or if it was just the video store equivalent of a chicken shop being called Charcoal Chicken
Could have been the same place! It’s likely that game came from interstate
Nice collection James. I'm a little bit older than you and my first console was the Sega Master System 2 with Alex Kidd in miracle world built in, it took me 2 years to beat that dang game.
I also would hire out games at the video store. Good times.
I got best of all the worlds when I was younger. At my Grandma's, I had a retrobit 2-in-1 nes & snes console, where I mostly played Mario 3 and World with my grandma, while at my mum's, I had a Sega Genesis with sonic 2, golden axe, some manky tetris wannabe, as well as an N64 only with Mario 64 and Zelda OOT. I unfortunately only have the retrobit console today, but for a kid born in 2005, I couldn't imagine a better collection of games to grow up with. . .
Good video nice to see some positive content on this site.
The way this title was worded I was expecting the answer to be something like the turbografx 16 or the amiga CD32, but interesting none the less.
I cannot get past that you say "hire" as apposed to "rent". In my mind you're telling the game you "hired" it for a long night of hard gaming, as your folks are out on a date and they gave you money for pizza and whatever else you'd need :P
Very interesting story and I love the cat at the end of every video.
I thought this was gonna be a bait and switch where james was all like "actually i was a turbografx kid" and then the video cuts to james with like 3 arms with 7 fingers to each hand
that link to the past cartridge hit me hard in the nostalgia
Happy to see more from ya!
21k Subs, with only 3 vids published 🤔
Now THAT'S how you launch a channel!
Loving Jamesessess Channel so far!
Referring to it as hiring the games rather than renting them is a fun dialect difference I didn't know of
I didn't grow up in the 80's and 90's but i certainly did grow up with the Super Nintendo. my dad put ZSNES on my laptop back in the day and it was how I got my fascination with retro games, especially the SNES. 15 years later and I have an actual Super Nintendo, with the holy grail of JRPGs, Chrono Trigger.
That’s a hell of a collection bro
I find it interesting that you say that you hired video games from video stores, here in America we would say that we rented them
Going to enjoy old memories after seeing your collection
Awesome stuff! I remember playing the original Sega and the Nintendo at my brother's house, as he had electricity and also had disposable income, both things I lacked.
Damn this somehow reminds me of going to my cousin house and seeing some of these games😂
I got a mk 1 sega mega drive in the UK and I love it. My cousin gave it to me and my bro when I was really young in the early 2000. It broke eventually but about 8 months ago I got another one and I still love it. Played the hell out of sonic and golden axe. Just starting to expand my games as I have like 13 games now! Great video dude came here from dankpod's garbage time 😁
was gonna say you as a sega and nintendo kid would probably like unirally but i see you have it, it was one of my favs
can't wait to see more retro stuff james :>
The little cat mrows at the end of these are perfect
I love this new content, reminds me a-lot of scott’s stash.
this is the second cat! this is getting out of hand.
I grew up in Australia here in Sydney for me out of the two the Mega Drive was my first and then the SNES was my second I love both but my favourite is the Mega Drive only cause I grew up starting from Sega arcade games and then onto the Master System.
Great video mate 👍
The collection awesome! I almost feel jealous 😅
Every time I refresh I swear you gain 1K subs lmao
nice story, also your cats are cute
Had some money put in my account back in the day, I bought a Mega Drive straight away The Revenge of Shinobi was my favourite game and the intro screen sounded awesome 🏅
Growing up in the mid 90s in Scotland I think only one of my friends had a Nintendo (snes or nes), everyone had Sega and sonic, streets of rage were always the main plays. Good times
Commenting for the algorithm gods. You got this James!
Wade: 🤣🏃🤸🙀😁
James: 😌👍
I love ending each video with the kitties chatting :)
i like the second of your cats at the end
Fun little story, nice vid
We had a demo of Ecco the Dolphin on our first PC, no one else has ever referenced it except for you in my entire life 😊
when I was a little kid I had a master system and a snes, they where hand me downs from my father funny enough, I was obsessed with the weirdo master system sonic "port" and super mario world 1 and 2, I was very young and it was my first videogame experience, but I was fortunate enough to be able to play on a older ps1 at the time, and that became like my biggest obsession, to this day it's like the fondest gaming memories I have..
the mick & mack menu theme is kind of a banger ngl
Yay cats!
Also damn that collection though.
Great memories playing Super Mario All Stars on the SNES in my house, too! Our SNES was bought by our parents and over 30 years later it STILL WORKS. I have no idea how, it's been thrown around and lovingly thrashed over the years. My mum even played SNES while in labour with me.
My "gaming introduction" was quite similar as well. I have an older cousin that got an used Mega Drive around 2003. I was three years old at the time, but I remember playing with him a lot of Tiny Toons and Sonic (I could never get pass the demolition ball Robotnik). A couple years later, my parents bought a Dynavision 101 for me (it's a NES knockoff sold in Brazil), and I started to learn English bit by bit with a dictionary just to understand the ending of Contra.
Gave me horiffic flashbacks when u mentioned hiring Virtual Bart and never playing it again that game was pretty mental lol
I'm a youngin so my first console was a Playstation 2, although the DS, Xbox 360 and PS3 were all out by that point. The first console I played on a whole lot, though, was my DS. I love the DS so much.
Such a cool Collection of every Revision and Region. nice!!!!!!!!!!!
very nice video. good stuff the James!
Man I cant wait to see what's next
I envy the collection. It is beautiful.
Please keep making more videos. I’m invested.
Omg, now I’m super invested! 😮thanks for the heart James I’ll be here for every video.❤
The side labels on the carts are superb
a Snes and super mario all stars was my first console and still my favorite! never had any segas but i do enjoy sonic but dont really know them like i know mario 1-3. really should snag an original sega! love the stories. also the cat camo at the very end!
Hi James! I've just subscribed to your new channel.
I know you via Wade on his "Garbage Time" channel and really enjoyed his videos of him and you fixing Wade's cars (e.g. Tony the Polish Fiat, the "donkey" Mitsubishi Express Walkthru van, Jeff the EF Falcon V8 GLi, and the "free" Daihatsu Charade).
I'm glad Dank made that video about this channel
Nice to see that classic Psygnosis logo
Hey James! Saw you had a drum freaks arcade cabinet. There’s a V6 cab in Sydney that I and one other person play frequently and we do out best to maintain it and keep it playable but we really are struggling with the CRT! How do you stop yours from being so dim with age and are there any fixes you’d recommend us giving a go? The red tom is impossible to see on our screen 🥲.
Excited to see if you do any videos on your Popn cab too! There’s only one other one I know of and it’s privately owned in Sydney.
Sweet collection! Hoping to match it myself one day 🙌
The SNES was the first console I ever used as a kid despite being a couple of years too young to have been there during its golden days. A friend of mine (who had a much older brother) had one at home and we used to always play Super Mario World on it. Today it's without a doubt my favorite retro gaming era. Mostly because the games have aged better than what came before and what came after.
I love the Aussie pronunciation of Sega
"Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, I was dead broke man, I couldn't picture this."
Could you possibly show that Action 52 off? That's a neat piece imo
What a voice. You have to record an audiobook one day.
In all honesty, I don't care one bit for consoles or whatever, but I decided to give James a watch because... well, we like James. And yeah, we do like James. The calm energy (and the genius of that portable Super Nintendo video) had me sticking around. Keep 'em coming.
Finding out James was a Sega kid, too. I feel seen at last.
I never had a Genesis until a couple of years ago, and I wanted one specifically to play the light gun game Lethal Enforcers (which also sent me on a scramble for the game, and the two light guns, and a vintage CRT television). When I finally got it all, the console wouldn't work. And it was the only one in my price range. But using my Dad's soldering iron from the late 80s, a bit of tech-detective work, a $2 power jack, and two minor first-degree burns, I got the bloody thing working. :) Now I'm amassing a collection of Genesis games I never got to play as a kid but always looked cool. I hope one day to have a collection even a fraction as cool as yours.
Our first console was an Atari, but it was super old at the time. Can't remember which one. We were having issues with the RF too and my dad binned the entire lot. Still spewing. Not long after, we got a SNES, and I played Terranigma, my first JRPG on loan from my brother's friend, and it started a lifelong love of JRPGs.
My first console was my brothers Nintendo 64! I have a ton of memories playing Super Mairo 64 and Star Fox. One that was burned into my brain was Conkers Bad Fur Day. I was far too young for that game but I loved it, except chapter 4 with the zombies, that section genuinely gave me nightmares.
I have a Genesis Model 1 here. Got Virtua Racing, LHX Attack Chopper, Sonic 1 and 2, Phantom 2040… love it.
