Love having rob back more frequently.. reminds me of when I started watching..Jonnny you're the best but when you have rob to bounce topics back and forth, feels complete
Definitely
As horrible as it sounds to write this comment, this injury has been a blessing in disguise when it comes to Robman reconnecting with the community. Really good seeing his face so much this year.
@@shootboxpodcast I think this is where we use the term "silver lining". It is horribleness-safe.
I am so jealous of the friendship these guys have.
For me going from my ps1 to the Dreamcast was the biggest shock in graphics clarity and color. Just blew my mind.
The first time I saw MSR, I was completely sold. Played that game for 100s of hours.
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Absolutely. Seeing NFL 2K and Soul Calibur, in particular, blew my friggin’ mind!
Yeah same here I was 14 in 1999 and got house of the dead 2 and blew me away.power stone was cool and loved resident evil code Veronica.also crazy taxi
You guys need to get together more often. This was a great episode. Dreamcast is one of my favorite consoles. After Sony and Microsoft got into gaming Segas days were numbered. Gaming hasn't been the same since Sega stopped making consoles
Johnny and Robman are always very badass episodes!!
Loved hearing about Summer of 1999. I remember taking my 3 sons 5,4, and 3 to Star Wars Phantom Mennace for sure. My wife was expecting my 4th son in December. I was taking the boys to arcades alot and we would play games together on PS1.
Thanks for these videos.
It’s literally the first movie I took my first born son to. He had just turned 3 and he was instantly hooked to Star Wars after the Phantom Menace. Lol
I miss those pre Internet days of actually going to stores. I went to a midnight launch for the Dreamcast actually with a friend who had preordered it and Power Stone was one of the games he bought. That was a great game and I couldn’t believe the graphics and fluid gameplay.
Johnny saying ‘riiiiidge raceeer’ kills me everytime😂😂😂
Not to mention the 1999 was when the matrix came out in theatres! What a year! Nothing beats nostalgic memories with best friends! Great vid!
Johnny do you think that you still have these magical moments nowadays or has the magic worn off over the years? All your stories that you tell ooze with nerd passion. Another great video thank you for sharing
Oh we definitely still have those magical moments now! But there was something kind of special about gaming before the Internet really blew up.
You need to find new genres that you can play with your friends. If your friends are cool enough there's so many types of games to play together now.
@@doublestarships646 this is so true! Me & my buddies are constantly finding new co-op games to play which is a great way to keep in touch when you all move a bit farther from each other.
@@Ty-douken There's always something new and there will always be old titles to go back to, either to rediscover or have new experiences with.
I think enough time has to pass before shit is able to be looked back on fondly..that’s me anyways ..Dreamcast was the last time I was really blown away by visuals.
These videos literally make my day!
My brother and I got our first dreamcast with blue stinger and we stayed up all night playing that game. Great memories. Thanks for the video John and Rob.
what a great friendship. Makes me wanna reach out to my old friends and reconnect.
This really brought me back i miss Zellers and the days of spoil free hype a time we just enjoyed things and didn’t overly pick things apart.
I always love these stories!
I never had summer like the one you guys were talking about but I do have one summer gaming memory that really sticks with me. Summer of 2001 when the Gameboy Advance launched. I was 10 and my parents only bought stuff for me for my birthday and Christmas. Neither were close, so I had to save $100 which took most of the summer. During that time, all of my friends were getting GBAs one by one, so I got to see a few of the launch titles like Super Mario Advance, Dodgeball Advance, and Tony Hawk 2.
Finally, around the end of the summer, I was almost there like 90 something dollars and Target dropped the price to $90 for a weekend. My Dad and I went right out and got one. We agreed at the beginning of the summer that he'd cover the game so I got Mario Kart Super Circuit! It was either right at the game's launch or pretty close to it so it felt extra special to me. My friends and I spent the next few weeks doing that 4 way link cable thing where you can play off one cartridge and had a lot of fun.
I don't even know where that GBA is now but I'll always remember that summer.
Johnny my man, I know you've probably got your hands full but please do more regular videos, I can't get enough!
The true friendship between you guys is so amazing and the stories of that summer become that much more engaging and emotional - I love this episode of your show.
So much passion and nostalgia I can relate to come through on these videos.
Summers of ‘98 and ‘99 were probably the best days of my youth. Endless summers. Hanging out with friends. Amazing games coming out. Great movies coming out too. And oh man..the Pokemon card hustle was real!
How can I thumbs up twice for rob episodes
Multiple accounts. I have like 5 youtube channels.
= D
Love hearing you reminisce about specific periods in the past. The late 90s were a very nostalgic time for me as well!
1999 was one of the best years in my life aswell, I got goosebumps when you mentioned the Phantom Menace build up, it's all coming back. Great video guys!
1999 was the best year. For games and movies. Thanks again for a great episode Rob and Johnny.
Gosh, wish I could go back in time! Loved the Ace Combat series, GTA, Gran Turismo, Wipeout, etc...PS2 was just around the corner...
EVERYONE needs a friend like Rob Man. Some truly beautiful and wholesome stories here
This gave me so muuuuuuuuuch joy, youhave no idea, John and Rob.
Man, i love watching you guys. The chemistry is so good and you guys always manage to take me back to the good old days :)!
I was only 10 at the time, but 1999 was one of of my all-time favorite summers too. Just so many good memories. Like becoming hardcore obsessed with Pokemon, lol. Good times
Johnny, Rob : LEGENDS, one of the greatest episodes yet!! 🎸 🎸
I swear I can listen to you and rob talk about old memories forever.
Yeah that was a great summer for sure. I remember the hype for episode 1 at that time was nuts.
I'm about the same age as you guys. I love hearing your nostalgic gaming stories! It brings back so many great memories for me! Keep it up guys!
One of my favorite “story time” videos you’ve done recently. Thank you for sharing John and Rob! You guys are part of my Sunday routine :)
Dreamcast is my all time favourite console! SO many amazing memories with that console and amazing games; Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Soul Calibur, Power Stone, Shenmue, Soul Reaver, Crazy Taxi, Ikaruga just to name a few. Those jackets are amazing!! I must have one! 😃 😃
Shenmue is crap
I want a let's play from you guys playing Blue Stinger - this looks hilarious!
Star wars episode one was everywhere. Advertised on pop cans, cereal boxes, billboards, toys, candy, you couldn't not get hyped.
Haha always happy to see these guys talk about their good times.
Two episodes with Rob so close together? We must have been very good boys and girls!
Love you so much guys seeing you both so happy, laughing while remembering the olds times and sharing these stories is so soothing. You are really cool people and your friendship is something we all appreciate and can relate to. Saludos desde Ecuador al Feliz Jugador de Consolas y a El Robombre 🔥🤘🏻🔥
Story time with Robman?
Yes please!!
Wonderful Episode, thank you guys seriously.
This was a great episode, I love hearing you guy’s stories. Thanks for sharing
These are the videos at the core of this channel that I love. Keep it up!
We are so lucky to have such good gaming memories !!! These stories always put a smile on my face 😉
Thanks for sharing youre stories the passion you two have for gaming is so infectious and engaging.
Love this structure of “memories” episodes! They’re awesome.
Thank you both for sharing your memories on youtube. This made me so nostalgic. You both do a fantastic job of painting a picture of this period of your lives. I would absolutely watch more videos like these!
Man i loved R4 and ace combat that year! I was 19. amazing memories.
I still listen to the R4 soundtrack.
Such a great friendship you two have, and thanks for sharing this, its always great to hear these stories ;)
Damn guys that's a good year! Great to hear you and Rob talking about it. Made my day a bit brighter! Thanks as always.
2 years ago I went to a garage sale and I found Power Stone 2 for $.25! Best deal for a rare video game of my life. I will always remember that moment!
Great episode I feel like I vicariously lived thru due to your combine enthusiasm and details one of the best episodes on this channel
Great video, thanks. Brings back some good memories.
I love you guys!! I wish I had friends I could talk to exactly like this!
Thanks for sharing all these stories, it takes me back to those amazing days I had myself. Awesome vid ❤️👍
I watch the channel all the time! You got me into my 1st JRPG because you love them so much thanks for making content!
Such heart warming content. You guys are awesome, friendship is golden! More years to come!
I absolutely love watching your videos. The enthusiasm and nostalgia is genuinely heart warming. I love gaming and you guys make me feel so happy that it's my hobby of choice.
I found your channel about a year and a half ago as lockdowns were hitting. Have enjoyed every vid. Thanks for the positivity and wholesomeness during these times. Keep it up!
This kind of episode is where you guys shine. Thank you so much for the memories. Seriously! Thank you! What a great episode. I wish I could sit down with you guys and reminisce about the 90’s and early 2000’s. We would definitely have been friends.
I absolutely love your videos like this! I love listening to your nostalgic memories!
I imported the Dreamcast as well. Such an amazing time. It was the first console where the console version of arcade games surpased the arcade.
Your stories videos keep me going guys. There's a real magic when you do these. Makes the world ok again for a few minutes
Great video, guys. One ofvthe best you've made in ages. The videos where you two passionately reminisce about your favourite memories are always my favourites. 1999 was a great year! Fight Club and The Matrix are still two of my favourite movies, and Quake III Arena still a game I play from time to time.
I really need over this format so much. The podcast style conversations and gaming stories of the past. So fun to watch you guys remember and bring up things. No one else is doing this please keep it going. Thank you for doing what you do. Much appreciated.
Outstanding episode! Love the call backs to all those epic things happening back then. These are my favorite kind of episodes and it wouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings to go on longer and throw in the reviews of those games into it. Hoping all goes well for Rob and his injury and hopefully this week maybe getting a review on Skyward Sword?!?! Please and thanks!! You guys rock and this by far my favorite channel on UA-cam and I always look forward to Sundays because of it.
Absolute favorite gaming channel. This much love and passion deserves all the love and passion it receives and more
These are some of my favorite episodes of yours, where you and Rob are having a blast while reminiscing about cool memories from the past. Something about the energy and the passion that you two have that just can't be faked or done anywhere else. Love it!
The way you put your hands on Rob throughout the video makes me all warm inside. Such a subconscious way of showing how much his friendship means to you. Love these videos!
99 is my favorite gaming summer, too. That was right after I graduated high school! Great times.
You guys had a blast as kids and continue to carry forward that same joy in adulthood. I want to experience the same excitement and joy.
I have just always loved this channel. I love your stories. They make me feel nostalgic. I can put myself in your shoes and then it makes me think of my own memories. That’s effective storytelling!
Everything on this channel is just so upbeat and authentic. You don’t chase the news or dwell on the bad. You just focus on the best parts of gaming!
Thank you both for doing this. It's always a joy to see you reliving stuff and your enthusiasm is infectious.
For me It'd probably be the summer of 1997. I was big into Quake. GLQuake and QuakeWorld were out, and Team Fortress was out. I'll never forget those matches over dial-up. So awesome.
The late 90’s were amazing for Gaming. So many incredible games and the Dreamcast is still my favourite console ever and I’m lucky enough to still have my original console ☺️
What a great video. I felt the excitement of the summer. Sounded like a good time to be alive.
dude, awesome! i love these memories videos!!
Lmao the part where he talks about the goth guy with the two girls had me cracking up. Made my Sunday morning thanks guys !
I don't know why but I love listening to these stories, for hours on end even. Thank you Johnny and Rob
As soon as I saw the title, I smiled and knew exactly what you guys would be talking about. The first video I ever watched was your THE DREAMCAST ROCKS video 10 years ago back when I was looking up reviews to justify buying a Dreamcast. You guys talking about Sonic Adventure and Power Stone entertained me so much, it reminded me of myself and my best friends. Love this video and love you guys!
I love you guys, I can’t get enough of these videos
summer of 2011 when i just graduated high school. Can't believe it has been 10 yrs already. I feel very old....
These nostalgia videos make me so happy!
Love the videos and listening to the great video game memories 😁👍
Great episode guys, love you!
This channel is pure bliss.
Awesome video, guys. I remember that summer well, I was in middle school at the time. So, I'm watching the video and enjoying all the things you two brought up and thinking about how fun that time was... And then... Out of nowhere... Rob says he had a copy of the live action version of my first, and still favorite, anime of all time, Iria: Zeiram the animation! You guys rock, keep being awesome.
That episode was so chill, love you guys ! It would be awesome to watch an episode with Rob and Andrew.
It's amazing to see how good you guys' recollection is from a time over twenty years ago and in such detail. I can't even remember what I did last week.
Happy Sunday everyone! Who's playing Skyward Sword and loving it?
Thank for sharing the great stories John man and Mega man, you guys are awesome
Me absolutely loving Skyward Sword. It didn't exactly work very well for me with the Wii Motion plus so it's great to have other options for controls.
@@That1PissedOffBoomer for sure :)
@@That1PissedOffBoomer btw I clicked on your bio hoping for some rants and raves - nothing there :(
This is so wholesome and nostalgic.
This was an awesome video I really enjoyed it.
I love this video, the good old days are the best.
You know it's a good day when a new Rob man n Johnny came chat drops. Could listen to you two guys all day.
I wish I had gamer friends like Johnny growing up in the 90's.
Glad I am not the only one who loved Blue Stinger at launch lol!
Love the videos where you talk about stuff you did growing up.
While I don't think I have anything profound to say I just want to leave this comment and say that this video is wonderful. I love listening to the two of you speak and reminisce! I remember being in awe watching my brother play blue stinger. That has always been on my bucket list to go back and play through.
Nice episode you two (Robman&HCG) 😎!
Great video as always
4:46 "Blue Stinger", good game; I actually live-streamed that on the day the game takes place: Christmas Eve 2018. Back in 1999, 2018 seemed so far away.
I can't believe I'm only watching this now what the hell! UA-cam alerts has failed me 😭. I can't believe you and Rob Man actually lined up to go get Star Wars toys that is so awesome!!!! Would have loved to be there with you guys 😍
Wow I didn't remember summer of 99 being so epic. Great video, it is a bright spot in my day!
