Studio Tour: Nostalgia Nerd + Ashens & Did You Know Gaming
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- It's 2020, and what better way to begin the year than adding to all the other game room and retro game room tours that come out at this time. This is actually a behind the scenes video that I've been meaning to make for a while, and so I've included a progression of my studio/office since my channel began, or at least, since it was relevant, back in 2015. My office space is also housed in the same building as Did You Know Gaming and Ashens, in what I'll describe as a "UA-camr paradise". Find out how that came to be and then you can decide whether the description is accurate within.

Aw, an LGR disk on the wall. I'm honored!
Lovely-looking and cozy workspace, I love this kind of video 👍
This reminds me of your stuff. If you were also there it would be the ultimate crossover.
love this stuff too :)
Greetings to the almighty LGR! :D
Did you see the woodgrain radiators in the second office? I thought of you as soon as I saw them. :D
Still waitin' on your tour, Clint - unless you've already done one and I've missed it...
I could just imagine popping into the building and into that hall! Then Ashens saying... Well... “HELLO”
You've shattered the illusion, I thought Ashens filmed from his mums sofa.
William Fenton Indeed!
Who's to say he isn't, could be they upgraded and he snaged it from the curb.
Something tells me that "small roof leak" is going to be an issue sooner or later. Don't keep anything you're not willing to lose near it.
"... Small roof leak" also could lead to rotten drywall, mould, mildew; nasty stuff.
There is no such thing as a small roof leak lol spot on comment!
It's ok, he has a small plastic bowl.
I was talking to the guys on the maintenance crew for the Michigan capital building, and they said that whenever the roof leaks a little, the ceiling in that area will inevitably start to peal in almost exactly six months.
We have a roof area at my office like this. New staff learn the hard way
I was looking forward to a proper look around Stuart's office :(
"Stop going through my bins" - Ashens
"Stop going through my bins Ashens!" - Everyone else.
Ashens the man who sits on the floor and eats of the couch
I read your comment using his voice ;)
Love the stuffed Horace, appalled at the way Paul Andrews treated Octavius.
What is this, the carrot and stick method of commenting? 🤣
I’m glad someone else addressed it. That was douchey.
Ways to have your office:
chaotic: Nostalgia Nerd
neutral: Ashens
clean: Didyouknowgaming
My space tends to be neutral.
Despite preferring neat and tidy, spacial restrictions limits what I can keep where.
@Michael O Callaghan I´m honestly hard on the chaos side, Chaos relaxes me, I find my own system in it :D
@@Christopher-N Same. That and the fact that neat and tidy and easy-access are sort of mutually exclusive at least for me.
I'm definitely chaos. If my favourite pencil isn't buried under something I'm not happy.
i wonder why someone like this this doesn't have millions of subs.....he clearly has passion and the drive....with almost 300,000 subs, it is outstanding, but for the work he does, he deserves so much more.....
Wow, that's a sweet set up you guys have there. Grand to see like minded souls pooling their resources to make things happen, in a good way. Kudos to all. Look forward to seeing further output this year, from yourself & associates.
Seeing Space Crusade and a Boglin in the opening shoot gave me a hit of nostalgia I wasn’t expecting. Especially the Boglin, which I had forgotten ever existed in my childhood. And now I’ll see it in my nightmares!
I find it amusing that all these videos are being created above the job centre. Good work 👍
As a lover of retro tech & a minimalist, I both love & detest your space...you glorious bastard
I think you have your office 'feel' spot on, constructive hoarding love it. Good luck for 2020
out of everything retro... That c&a bag will outlive them all... and has not discoloured!
I am stunned how much of that stuff I have owned or still have. Awesome.
Great to see you all expanding especially when I watched from nearly the beginning both you and Stuart.
Nice to see that this guy lives a life just like us plebians. Full of stuff, slightly chaotic but fully dedicated. I´m always baffled by those super-clean, minimalist (apartment?) set-ups that some youtubers have (and how they manage to keep that up).
Oh man, that classic Space Hulk mug is indeed glorious.
Liked this tour more than most. I had no idea the lengths you've gone to. Well done man well done and yep up the great work
Man I had that 90's robot! That tripped me out I hadn't thought of him in forever.
16 century!! crazy!
great video! always great to see everyone's gaming/collection spaces.
Your office reminds me of the local computer shop in the 1990s. Large cupboards to the ceilings filled with random stuff and an area behind the counter in about 5x as much chaos! I remember spotting a Master Gear on a top shelf once!
Wow you living the dream lol - nerd heaven! Enough content to last a lifetime. Good luck I wish you all th eluck in the world! Keep up the great work.
It's quite amusing that all the DYKG guys are in a space half that of NN & Ashens.
Glad you guys got to get out of your bedrooms anyway. I've been working at home for 10 years and while its fine it would be nice to get out of there some more.
I really got the nostalgic feeling just watching through this video. With the amount of stuff you have, that building could even be a retro-tech museum. 😂
Stuff piled on stuff piled on stuff in no particular order. You're my kind of collector Nostalgia Nerd!
Wait, Ashens doesn't work in his home in front of his sofa?
VERISIMILITUDE COMPRISED
my teen years are now ruined
Well there goes my immersion.
There's also no sofa. Well, not a full sofa. Anymore. Just a piece of sofa, large enough to film.
he used to, the sofa's in his office doesn't even look like the sofa in his videos though
@@MadGaz85 I definitely think that isnt THE sofa he films on. go to any ashens video from around the time of this video or even now and you can see neither the couch or the wall behind it match up
So bogglins aren’t a elaborate Jimquisition prank.
This was a nice watch, suddently I feel my small room full of cupboards spewing open with games and memorabilia is just not cutting it. Keep it up man, I'd never give up a space like what you guys have if I had it
My house is filled with Kallax shelves too, but they're full of vinyl.
That looks ,like a pretty nice place and from what I heard from other youtubers it seems like a good idea to really move all this stuff out of your house so you can really seperate your working and home hours
That’s great to find a space to share with other similar content creators 👍
1:22 That room looks like a nostalgia paradise
Glad to see that Space Crusade made it to the new office, love that game! Cracked a brand new copy a while back :)
Love it, what a fantastic workspace.
Well that’s a real treasure trove of wonders, I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one not to have everything laid out immaculately on display.
Lovely video! Such treasures! Nice to see that book there too!
Wow, you guys really do have the dream job. Those offices remind me of what it might have been like to work on one of the classic video game mags back in my early 90’s like Mean Machines or CVG.
2020 and still nostalgic! :D
I’m too broke to give to my favorite YT creators but I humbly offer a like and this comment. Thanks for giving my broke ass some good entertainment!
Those moments of just commanding "faster faster" is fuvking wild and awkward to watch
That C & A bag, *chef kiss emoji*
22:21 Ashens’ appears to house half a man in there too.
It's a Stone Temple Pilot, he's *♫* _half the man he used to be._ *♫*
I apologize, that was a terrible joke, albeit nostalgic.
Shacking up with people, roommates. Sounds good but usually turns sour. I mean Ashen's has to drag the brown sofa with him everywhere and all that rancid food and poundland gimmicks.
This is what a retro tech horder's wet fever dream must look like... I envy you ^^
Gotta say that my favourite part was the random hanging mega drive controller in your office.
Though I’m a Yank, i still appreciate your wit. Looking forward to more retro videos!
I love Ashens' Warhammer 40K mug.
For me the most perfect video would be ahens, nerdcubed, Larry bundy Jr. And nostalgia nerd all meeting up for a video, even if its just for the intros
Good stuff - thansl for the show and tell!
Vtech Smart start "computer" such a nostalgia blast
Seriously, I actually freaking love your bedroom videos. There's an honesty to them that can't be replicated with a new office. I know its better for you now, but pun fully intended, I think your older videos are more nostalgic. Don't that that the wrong way or anything. Just a comment. Also I miss your quick play videos. And the ones where we would watch old shows together.
Wow! I remember Manta Force! I had the Black Barracuda and Red Venom, plus some other bits. Totally forgot about that until now.
I can't believe Yuji Naka just comes by to chill out. I thought he'd be busy working on his new game at Square Enix, but he still finds the time to visit.
Thanks for the tour of you office and bace of operations. It like going to universal studios only for gaming geeks.
Coulden't Ashens go with u, Looks a great collection, Great to c u have the space, Carry on good work.
I love that in an age where we (finally) don't have to think too much about video standards, NTSC vs. PAL (or SECAM if you had to bother with that), interlacing, et cetera, et cetera, since no displays are locked to the mains frequency, and therefore basically every standard HDTV and display is capable of 60 Hz -- you're filming in 1080p50 :()
Now that bedroom looks really coordinated, cos of course you know where everything is
Norfolk Nostalgia Crew, represent! A great way to start the new year.
really enjoyed the space crusade mug
I admire your space, as a UA-camr, artist, and photographer, my space is divided into 3, I wish I could have that storage you have. In NYC our office space is expensive. I rent out an artspace and that is long, but no windows. Looking at this video, I am inspired by your organizing I use Kallax as well, I usually find and repurpose them from an upscale neighborhood I find them in, def going to restructure my studio after this. Great video mate!
In our Office we set aside a central area for retro computer storage, sure it isn't as neat as we'd like it to be but it keeps our actual work areas a lot cleaner!
Such perfection! Quite a nice setup being in the same building as fellows like Ashens!
Hi, can you please move that copy of Descent 3 so it's after Descent 2? It's making me anxious to know that this is a thing that has happened. Also, congrats on all the growth over the years. Ya'll living the dream and stuff. Also, also, Heck yeah Manta Force was rad. I had that one and the Black Barracuda. My brother had the other ship... Red Venom I think it was called. They were awesome.
I'm jealous of that copy of Space Crusade on your shelves.
I spotted Jurassic Park for the Master System I have that too, Its nice to finally see I have something that Mr Nerd has.
This is so interesting, and somehow makes me feel ten times more productive as well. This messy uni student is inspired!
EDIT: Also I am SURE we used to have a Precision 3100 like that at home (is that its name? I don't know tech stuff; I just like watching it on UA-cam)
Loving the studio man!
I was thinking the bit at the end about it being “our” videos was cheesy but it kind of is, in the sense that (for me at least) most of the enjoyment I’d get from most of this (beyond what I’m personally nostalgic about or want to try writing code for,) is the novelty of seeing something for the first time , seeing how it works , learning about the thing, sometimes disassembling it, but most of the time even when I have a good find irl it gets used like 3 times then sits on a shelf collecting dust. UA-cam videos also take up less space and get less spousal complaints (as long as she isn’t made to watch the videos 😂)
Loved the tour, hope the others either have tours posted or will make one, I’m super curious if the statue is just a joke about ashen’s POV while recording a video lol
you and Jim sterling should arrange some kind of Boglin colab
3D Scanner. Can't wait for that review. The rest looks really interesting as well.
One day, that brown sofa will be housed in a museum somewhere.
Nice and I have the same retro tech book in my gaming collection room ;)
Saw something really rare in Nostalgia Nerds collection at 1:57 so jealous. Its an original C&A plastic bag 😯
The Retro Byte --- C&A still exists in Europe... Too bad we are leaving...
Hell yessss, I remember some tobacco stain stylee Apricot computers and I did my first batch of computer training on them and they had those LCD microscreens on the keyboards as we played and modded ghetto versions of Tetris on them in the early 90's.
Happy times.
Did you just really expose where Ashens records his tat on a brown sofa? 😂😂 Nah it makes sense to in an office to be fair, that way it can be more personal and doesn't clog up space at home
Wow I didnt knew you were in the same building as all of them ! Amazing
I'm going to pretend the thing I was most excited about, wasn't that C&A carrier bag @1:58 :)
I have a Tomy Tutor Computer too!
It was my first Computer
I learned to use a Commodore 64 at the age of 5...
Cool seeing your collection!
Keep up the good work fella!
Love the framed Suikoden 2 box
I was just thinking ‘that looks like a Tudor building, bet it’s absolutely gorgeous’ then you said it was built in the 16th century. It’s like you read my mind.
Shieeet 18:12 i had that horrific robot from the 90's in a Christmas or birthday gift LOL
I feel a little better about the state of my house now :-D Nice to see it how it really is instead of the usual neat and tidy RGB lit arrangement most people show.
If I ever get to buy something from you off eBay, I probably demand for an autograph more than anything else.
Also how cool is that?! You have your UA-cam friends sitting next to you, ready for hours of classic LAN parties! :D
love the collection, puts my small collection of machines to shame - watching the video it is ooh, would like to have that and that and one of those as well. Look forward to your future videos and may your successes continue
I loved Manta Force! I had the Red Viper (I think it was called) ship too. It was awesome 😁👍
That C&A bag though ❤️
Living the dream!
My eyes are tearing up that you are collabing with Stuart :)
Nice C&A carrier bag in your old storage unit.
so been looking forward to this - loved it
Red Venom was the business!
At least there was a Dreamcast in there a few times. Best tech ever.
You're clearly struggling for space, here let me take that Star Trek Tiger handheld for you.
10:58 Hey, Mindtrap, I've got that.
15:53 Oh, Tomy Tutor Play Computer! I used to have that! I guess it's in the loft or something now? Much nostalgia...
loved the video, a great tour
I noticed several shots of reversed video to make your B-roll long enough to work with your voice-over. If that editing trick is good enough for George Lucas to have a Tusken Raider shaking his weapon over his head, it's good enough for Nostalgia Nerd! Nice tour.
