I read this at first and was like "who's Johnny D??"
@@derekwalter4238 haha the Johnny Millennium ,) Im also Johnny :D
i'm 35 and I host a yearly night with all my old high school and elementary school friends i grew up with. I buy 3 cases of beers, order 4 extra large pizzas, and usually about 15 of us party, drink and play video games all night. it's my favourite night of the year.. Game nights are the best man!
3 cases of beer for 15 people? and you all drink all night? that's some lame ass drinking you got going on there.
Jive Samba An open minded person would not assume poster’s gender or poster’s friends’ genders and drinking habits. 3 cases might not be enough for your ego but it’s plenty for 15 people.
@@jivesamba7264 its not enough for 15 people, youre right. some bring their own, while others drink mine. im usually drinking wine.
Are you a person?@@dksun
@@jivesamba7264 that made me chuckle.
About 7 years ago, my best friend and I played through Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess over the span of about 2 weeks. We were just in the zone, passing the controller back and forth and helping each other solve the puzzles. It's one of those times in my life I will always look back on and cherish.
Sounds like my cousin and i with the Tomb Raider games.
Those are awesome moments.
31 now, a father, husband, 3 pets, house, job, UA-cam channel, exercise, juggling extended family etc.
I just had this night. Nay, this weekend. Wife took my son to her friends so he can hangout with some kids his age, and I stayed home with my fresh new copy of Kingdom Hearts 3. I had a 3 hour nap after work, and I stayed up until 630am playing the crap out of that game. A game I've waited for, for 13 years. I did what you did. Got some food, and zoned into nothing else but the game.
Got up, ate the old food, and dove back in. After 25 hours, the game was beat. It was euphoric. I haven't done that since I was a bachelor in college. It felt AMAZING. I shed some tears at the end both for the game itself and for the experience I just had. This video resonated with me big time, and I'm so happy you had this night for yourself. Sometimes we just need it. Love this video, and this channel, and it inspires me to work harder on my own. Thank you for sharing this experience with us, we can truly see your passion and it's enlightening in this day and age.
This video made me so happy. I had on a dumb grin the entire time.
There's something about this channel... It's just magic. You're one of a kind, Johnny
I love it when you get in to that kind of flow state with a game. I had this with Dragon Quest 5 a while back, where I just couldn't put it down. Those moments become rarer as you get older, but when they happen they are the best.
It's what gaming is all about really. For me the FFVII remake(if we ever get it!) will hopefully do this as it's my favourite game of all time. If not just the original again will do it! Ha Memories of that game, amazing.
I'm having that feeling right now with dragon quest 11
i was like that with secret of mana and tomb raider 2
Wait until you have kids and the wife says she's taking the kids and you can have a weekend to yourself. Now that's special 👍
That would be super nice
@@tdhiatt52 it's a rarity but its pretty special when it happens lol
The problem is they normaly take the Kids forever,Unitll they want money
i have two kids that are now 20 plus. my wife never did this lol.
Wait until you tell your wife that kids suck and you don't want them, and then she gets mad at you for a few days and then she gets over it, and now you have all your time and money to yourself. Now THAT'S magical
I thought your favorite game was Dynamite Dux🦆🦆🦆
or Shenmue ;)
Or Final Fantasy VI ;)
@@mielthesquid6536 Yeah, that´s certainly the pillar of his collection... ;-)
I got a tear in my eye watching this
I got a tear reading this comment
HappyConsoleGamer I don’t think I’ll ever get that old timey feeling of excitement over a game. I’m hoping shenmue 3 brings back that feeling.
Hey we keep playing hoping! It's like casting a net hopefully we catch a few!
HappyConsoleGamer dito. Seeing someone so happy makes me happy too :)
Dude I legit LOVE your stories. So relatable. Congrats on 200K, Johnny! Keep being awesome, dude.
Thanks Smash JT!
These are the best videos. I don’t know how to say it but your positive stories are unique. The mood this game put you in, this video put me in.
Lance Simpson - his positive videos are a breath of fresh air amongst the flood of drama-filled gaming channels.
Thanks for reminding me about that feeling at all. Who knows how long it would have taken me to even recall that kind of experience had I not seen your video. Thanks again, Johnny.
did u get resident evil 2
Did it with Super Mario 64 a few years back. Was magical.
Great game every time. I go back to it every few years.
For me it had some rough later levels. I always felt it was strongest in those first few levels.
I have young nephews that love that game. They have no concept of which consoles came out when. Great games are just timeless.
This is why I love your channel Jonny. The way you tell a simple story of a guy who enjoys a night in with a game and a pizza and make it entertaining. I totally relate. These sorts of gaming moments are few and far between as you get older and are all the more special when they happen. Thanks for sharing.
This kind of stuff is exactly why I love your channel man. Sheer positivity and enjoyment of this amazing medium that I rarely ever see in people. Totally feel the same way, video games are my life and I couldn't be without em!
That happened to me last Xmas Eve with Parasite Eve. Haven't played that game since the PSX days and binged it in 10 hours.
Ah yes PE ..omg that game was so wonderful and back the it really drew me in as well.although it has not aged well it still holds a place in my heart when i was younger.
I never played PE2 and PE3 was trash.
Dude I love your videos, I listen to them all day, sometimes just to get through the day and my depression. This makes me feel like a kid again.
I was 14 when I first played Phantasy Star in 1988. This game changed my life as it had to many others.. I still have anniversaries to play this game every five years.
VERY enjoyable video! I'm sitting here with a BIG smile on my face.
i remember a night from my apprentice days.. a school buddy and me had an absolutely EPIC Match in NHL 2002 i Think it was on the PS2. we went head to head with 15 Minutes per Third and finished the 3rd. Period with 11 goals each. went into the first overtime, 13 each. 2nd overtime, no goals and in sudden death i beat him 14 to 13. we were sweating from the intensity and the drama and we shook hands and thanked us for the awesome game. we never played NHL against each other again but we talked about this match for years to come
Playing through Pokemon Crystal always gives me that same feeling. My brothers and I taking turns with a yellow Gameboy Color in the back seat of my moms Chevy Astro. We’d lean near the window at night as we passed streetlights, because there weren’t backlights then. Freaking out as we found one of the legendary dogs roaming near Goldenrod. Then our power light would get dimmer and the AA batteries we stole from the TV remote would fail us, and we hadn’t saved in two hours of driving.
Thanks for sharing! It's stories like these that make me go play these game, and it's one of the reasons why I have some nostalgia for this one despite never playing it as a child. Just listening to you speak of it so highly for so many years and then playing it has made it something special.
This is such a great video, it's what sets you apart from so many gaming channels, love it.
Phantasy Star is definitely my favorite game of all time as well. I truly appreciate how much praise you give it. Hopefully it pays off and the series gets a proper sequel....and that it comes to the US.
I remember playing Xenogears for the first time in the summer of 1998. I was in summer vacation and my mom was working a double and left some money for a pizza. My brother was at a friends house I had the apartment to my self. PLAYED ALL day and night only stoping for Pizza Huts Big New Yorker ( RIP ).
Happy 200 Thousand Subscribers!! You deserve it!
Johnny, I’m a bit late on finding and watching this video (even though I’ve been a fan since 10+ years ago), but I just had to comment. This episode is definitely in my top 3 favorite of yours. NOONE can convey as much passion for gaming as you. What you said about “truly great video gaming memories cannot be forced, and just happen unexpectedly” is so true, and I’ve experienced that so many times. Everything just lines up. Your mental state. The weather outside. The time of day. This happened with me on Shenmue. I stayed home sick from school (legit fever), and it was raining outside. Even though I felt bad, I was happy I didn’t have to be at school, and I just had happened to have picked up Shenmue. That morning, after everyone had left for school and work, and I was alone under a blanket, listening to the rain hit the window behind me, I turned on the Dreamcast, and the start up screen lit up the dark cold room. Then came the Shenmue starting screen music. Oh what a day. Everything lined up perfectly. It enabled me to LIVE in that world. I was in Japan. I was Ryo. It became my favorite game of all time. And it is a big influence on why I currently now live in Japan. I hope I can have another video gaming memory like that soon… The most recent one in memory would have to be Subnautica. Playing that with my wife each night after work. Both of us scared out of our minds. Her organizing my inventory, but passing me the controller whenever she dove beyond 300m and got scared. It’s a wonderful game. Please do try it if you haven’t. Anyways, thank you for the video and memories.
I been a fan for about 6 months.. I got to say you are my favorite youtuber! Thank you for the genuine stories of the 80's/90's and just all the great videos in general. I never seen another like you on youtube yet.
It's great to see value enhancements like this vs. just straight up ROM dumps of classic games. I hope this becomes more the norm.
Reasons like this , just add to why I love video gaming and the nostalgia of enjoying old games. Awesome video happy gamer ! I'll have to try phantasy star someday myself
I love the way Johnny tells his stories, it really feels like you’re in the room with him!
I had a very similar experience with this game. All the new features really pulled me back in. Thanks for making this video!
Oh man! These come once in a blue moon. I know the feeling, especially when you get a night to yourself. Great story!
200k subs!!! congrats bro
Gratz John for the 200k. Always love the stories and the positivity you bring to the retro community. The master system 2 was my first console so phantasy star and wonder boy will always have a special part in my gaming nostalgia.
Long time subscriber and this video finally convinced me to play this game. Thanks for the passion!
Great story! I haven't had a night like this in many a year, but I have been there before and can definitely relate and appreciate it.
Awesome Johnny. I will never forget the nights I was immersed in Super Metroid back in like 94. I had a moment like this a few years back when I purchased Metroid Fusion on the Wii U shop and playing that I had felt like that kid back in 94 again. You just can’t beat those days.
I had a night like this with The Legend Of Zelda, original. I started it and then blew through the entire game, loving the heck out of it. It was so much fun.
Congrats on 200k subs and thanks for sharing your experiences with us, I always love hearing what games you’ve been playing and enjoying. Your tastes are quite similar to mine and there are games you have mentioned I have not ever touched and now enjoy thanks to you. Thanks again!
I think life gets so busy in adulthood that when you get those days/nights where that gaming/nostalgia kicks in and you just get in that zone, it feels great.
Awesome story!! Always feels good to play a game you love and all the stars align and make the moment special.
Man, this channel is so wholesome. Really captures how much joy this art-form can bring us. I am currently playing Phantasy Star II with a printed out guide on the original hardware and it feels extremely grindy - I’m going to get the first one in this format on the Switch!
I just love this, thanks for sharing, Johnny!
Thank you Johnny for this video I enjoy listening to on Sunday when I go to work in the morning appreciate it it makes the monotony of working weekends better
Does feel like back when i was a kid gaming nights lasted for ages
Wow, that brought me back.
My best gaming night was my first LAN in the 90s in a garage of a friend. We were 10 or 12 gamer buddies and we played Half-Life 1, DukeNukem3D and Quake all night. I remember closing my eyes to preserve it and can always recall this very moment, since then.
These are the videos that make your channel so special to me Johnny! Anything centered on a classic video game nostalgia night and I'm sucked right back in to why I discovered and started loving your videos in the first place. Damn man, I gotta fire up Tales of Symphonia or Final Fantasy X (different generation of nostalgia lol) some night for myself too. Love it Johnny! Keep it up!
Great story man! Ive had this happen as well with Secret of Mana, my fav game of all time where I went back and played it with my nephew and absolutely reenjoyed the game all over again.
Love you Johnny! Thanks for sharing your happiness and achieving 200K! You've always been totally authentic and this is your strength. You videos have the same feeling since the beginning, although you've matured a bit and look healthier. Much joy to you and Kim!
Those are the best times of our lives
And by the way
Congrats on 200k
Love your content and passion
Best regads from Brazil
Im so happy for you Johnny what a great experience, since this is my fav game of all time aswell i can really relate to everything youre saying.
Your good vibes and positive attitude are infectious
Your passion for gaming and this game is awesome. One of your best videos yet.
It seems like these kind of nights are so difficult to come by these days. Like all the stresses of everyday life getting in the way and whatnot. And even when you do get to sit down and enjoy a game, there's always something that's in the back of your mind saying "Oh, you shouldn't be playing this, you need to be doing x y or z." The nights where you can just get lost in a game for a really long time are special for sure.
Kim comes home wanting Jon sooooo bad and he is having a Dynamite Ducks moment....
DUCKS!!!
Also funny that the grind being removed can finish the game in hours.
Awesome video Johnny! Makes me nostalgic for my teenage years in the mid 90s playing Sega Saturn and PS1.
Johnny, I had a very similar experience. I played it on christmas day and completed it the same day on the switch. I was listening to the soundtracks for a solid two weeks after, and it encouraged me to play the second and fourth game and those are fun too.
Awesome story. Thanks for sharing 😊
I just did this! The Spyro games on PS1 were some of my favorites as a kid. I binged the new HD trilogy. Glad you had this moment friend!
Johnny- you’re review is touching. I swear you and I had the same video game childhoods. Phantasy Star changed my life as a 12 year old. Me and a friend played this game for weeks back in 1988- it is, without a doubt, the greatest game in history. Now, over 30 years later, me and my 10 year old daughter, played through “Ages” together this week. I was able to share an important part of my childhood with her- and the best part is she is in love with the game too. She’s working through it again, now. Next- Ys Ages? Miracle Warrior Ages? Golvellius Ages? I’m sure you’re with me on those, Johnny. Your channel’s a blessing for an old Sega guy like me. Keep it up.
A classic never dies. Best game ever. Just like your channel, Johnny - a classic. Love them both.
Video games make me feel young again, and having this level of passion for something so fun is invaluable. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing. I’ve never played Phantasy Star, and had not planned to due to the paper/pencil mapping required of old-school dungeon crawlers. You just made my day with the description of the automap feature. This will now be on my play list for sure.
I’ve been trying to justify to myself why I shouldn’t get this title (too many games) but you’ve finally broken me. I have to do it now
It is definitely a fun experience for an RPG fan. I have no nostalgic connection to any RPG from the 32 bit era back (except for Pokemon), and I picked it up just because I enjoy the series after picking it up well after their releases. It feels so much more modern because of the things like the exp boost, the FM sound chip option, the bestiary (it helps a lot more than you would think), and more so than any other thing mentioned, the automap. Overall it is just a solid experience.
@@RobertSeeJen did you mean 32bit or 8bit?
Finally watch this one. Very enjoyable. Love it :)
I loved this video. Im so jealous! That night sounds amazing! I wasnt aware of those game improvements, i may need to check it out.
Now I need to play it lol. Thanks for sharing dude!
This story was something truely special i'm glad you decided to tell us Johnny. Congrats on passing 200K i remember when you only had a few thousand. Keep up the great work mate.
Love your channel bro! I can relate so much to your video.
I had a night a couple years ago where my wife actually got sick (long before Covid) and she wound up going to bed early. It left me with nothing to do, but I actually had just started playing The Messenger. I didn’t want to wake her, so I had my headphones on, with the bass jacked up, the lights dim, on our newer big screen TV. I was just totally wrapped up in the game for like 3 or 4 hours and I think back on that night so fondly.
Thank you for sharing your game story :)
Congrats on 200k subs Johnny! My favorite UA-cam channel deserves the love, keep it up!
Thanks for sharing that special story john😊! And CONGRATS on reaching 200k subs! 👍
This story made me so happy. I got good feels just hearing you describe it. I recaptured the feeling I had as a kid playing the RE2 remake. At 30 years old, my heart was pounding just like when I played it as a kid! Such an amazing feeling! Also, totally agree with Dominos handmade pan pizza! Amazing!
I’m right there with you. I replayed Phantasy Star on Switch & what a great time it was. The addition of the map & the faster pacing with double the amount of gold & level experience made for a very smooth gameplay. Phantasy Star was the very first RPG, very first GAME I’ve ever played. Glad I got to relive the experience s
That sounds like fun just playing one of your favorite games of all time for one night and shutting the world off lol anything your going through anything your life has going on just pause take a break and game all night
Love this video. Makes me happy!
Hey Johnny, I had a similar experience playing Phantasy Star on the Switch. It was so much fun. It did feel like it did the first time I played it back around the time when it was released. Great video!
Omg congrats on 200k subs, Johnny! Been here all the way buddy!! Absolutely love all your videos! :D
Much love from Wakefield Johnny!
Grats on 200k. You deserve it!
Thank you for all the great videos Johnny! I'm sure you brighten up a lot of people's day because of your work, including mine.
That sounds like an awesome evening! I remember a few years ago I went back and played Skyrim and I played non-stop for 12 hours because of how addicted and immersed I was! Best gaming day ever!
hi Johnny, the same thing happened to me a couple months ago, when i replayed one of my favorite game of all time, Chrono Trigger, but on Steam. i had a friend over to my place, and it brough back some awsome memories, just like you did with phantasy star ! I love your chanel, it got me back into videogaming, watching your enthiusastic videos 🙂
Me and my friend finish silent hill 1 & 2 wayy back in 2017 without saving.....I was in the zone. It just felt like the same feeling we got all those years. Well maybe a little less scared this time around. But IT WAS GREAT. we had takeout too. It was just so nostalgic. And the music. wow. completely amazing. Its great reliving those moments.
I’ve never even played PS but could feel the nostalgia from your reaction. Video games are awesome 🎮 ✨
Love this video Jonny. Would be great to get simialr vids like this!
Johnny! Congratulations for a level up in the form o 200k subs! Hope you will get as many subscribers in the upcoming future. Guys! It's a blast to read all of the positive comments that this channel has. It's great to be here. I like to listen to your videos in the background John, while I'm doing all sorts of stuff connected with work. Keep it up my man! HCG 2019 and still going.
Yes. YEEEESSS! Been waiting for another one of these story videos!
You really are the Happy Console Gamer to make a video like this!
Loved it! Been thinking about getting this one for awhile and I think I will now!
Your videos are like little nostalgia portals of comfort. Big thanks from Brooklyn man. Excited to get a Switch and make the velveeta nachos I made when I was 14 (that is of course when Nintendo makes them again.)
This video reminds me of last saterday when I played Double Dragon 2 on nes. That was just me and the game. I was ''into the zone'' Those moments are just awsome! I am very happy for you Johnny!
I recently had a night like that with Kingdom Hearts. I got the story so far bundle, made some coffee and played the game the entire night. Loved it so much.
Probably my favourite video on this channel.
Those kind of gaming nights are really rare to feel Congatulations Johnny.
I had that with yakuza zero started at 12 noon before i knew it, it was midnight. Its like when you get older those moments are amazing
my last one was in my mid twenties (42 now) my cousin and i got a few pizzas and packs of ciggs and played through xenogears in a weekend, i remember keeping a small notebook so we could keep track of all the names and countrys to keep from getting lost. still my fave game of all time and was an amazing weekend
Sounds like a great time.
You're at your best when covering something like this that you're clearly enthusiastic about. It's why I first subscribed so long ago.
Congrats on 200k subs! Long overdue!
I have that same feeling sometimes for Final fantasy 6 which is my favorite game ever. Haven't played it in at least 10 years. Just the story the music and the graphics are absolutely amazing for me. Hearing you talk about your favorite games makes me appreciate this channel as much as I do. Thank you.
