15 days ago ,youtube suggested me your story about how you quit smoking,i have stopped smoking since,after 18 years of smoking its the first time that i actually havnt smoked for 2 weeks,your stories are important 🤘
Excellent, make sure to keep up the progress 👍🏼
Hang in there. I quit 6 years ago and don't regret it.
keep it up
The first two weeks are the hardest. After that it gets much easier
Keep at it. Take it from a former smoker, quitting is freedom.
I think Johnny should write a memoir. Some of us actually do still read books. I would be interested in a Johnny Millenium book.
I don’t know what I would do without my comics and books.
My thoughts exactly and I still read lots of books too
If Johnny wrote a book I'd order it so fast lol!
THIS!!!
i recall he said one of his life goals was to write a memoir
Your Dad calling Stephen King a weirdo is the most Dad thing ever lol. I love it
To be fair, this was also probably during King's cocaine habit days in the eighties... guarantee he was zooted at dinner.
Have you read his books? A normal mind doesn't come up with these stories. Definitely a weirdo but hey that's what's so good about him.
@@joshbrucks I don't know; I've read a few of King's books, including On Writing, and he strikes me as a staunch adherent of convention. He has come up with a few novel premises, to be sure, but a normal mind is perfectly capable of coming up with novel premises.
Nobody tells a story like Johnny. It was a really heart warming trip down memory lane and I thank you for taking us along.
I miss the times before internet. Life just felt more mysterious and magical
Well, it was just less practical, I had to be at the library all the time. When someone argued with me, I had to go to the library, borrow the book ( if it was available, which sometime wasn't ) and then show them. time consuming.
Really enjoyed this story man. Brought back memories of going to my Dad’s work where he was a marketing director for a Home Theater Appliance store. Everyone was so nice to me and I would go off on my own exploring the warehouse full of televisions. Thanks for this!
As a man in his early 30's, who never knew his father, I always love hearing stories about people's dads who were there for them.
Your dad was a great man, Johnny. Thank you for sharing yet another awesome story.
What i love about Johnny is how appreciative he is about this incredible experience. Not everyone would realize what a privilege this is
Love how so proud you are of your dad. Sounds like he was a really great guy :)
These personal stories is what sets you apart from other gaming youtubers, still today.
My father passed in 2007, and he taught me so much and gave me so much for memories I can’t imagine who I would be without him. Johnny, we are so blessed for the strong men in our lives. God bless our fathers.
Johnny you always have the best stories to tell
Just hitting the 25th anniversary of my own dad passing and can relate with this story on so many levels. Thank You for sharing it with us.
Same, yeah 1997 I realized I had just passed 25 years myself. Crazy.
My mother passed away 10 years ago. Still feels like yesterday. Much love.
Mine passed away in 1998. So 25 years as well. My dad was only 27 when he was killed in a motorcycle accident.
My dads passing will be 31 years ago March 8th 1991. Sucks. He was 33.
@@chrisw8069 That’s absolutely tragic. I hate to hear that. I’m about to turn 32… really makes you think about life and mortality. Much love.
Loving this story. Great stuff Johnny!!
To borrow a line .... "Although its just a memory now - some memories last forever" And it was a good one too.
Lakeside park?
@@KingXanadu Indeed it is. :)
Johnny I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and these “story time” episodes are among my favorites of yours. I swear if you wrote an autobiography I would purchase it day one!
That’s insane. The store was legendary in Toronto. It’s a shame it’s no more. I miss bookstores in general. Indigo ain’t it.
You mean you aren’t jumping at the chance to buy some towels and cooking utensils while you go browse the manga section?
Yeah I feel the same longing for Borders as Barnes & Noble just ain’t it.
We had Coles here back in the day. I always went straight to the back left of the store that was all Fantasy and Sci-fi. I loved going in there.
OMG when that video of the World's Biggest Bookstore showed up I was filled with such nostalgia. I was just downtown yesterday and was walking by and looked down that street to see it gone replaced by what looked to be another condo (that I will never be able to afford). I remember the arcade that was a few minutes away, miss that place. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful memory Johnny. Reminds me of my childhood and my parents.
Pretty sweet. Your dads sounds like an awesome guy, much like yourself!
What a beautiful memory to have with your dad! I got into gaming because of my dad and I would never enjoy them like I do if it wasn't for him. Your story really resonated with me, thank you for sharing!
HCG storytime and lore! 💖💖🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
You lived a dream life back then man .
Johnny, I just wanted to say you have always been such a positive role model my dude. Always keep on keeping on!
This is my favorite type of video, thanks for sharing your story! I think a lot of us can relate to stories like this that really influenced us in some way, whether it be a person, place, thing, or event.
I'm 20 years old and I adore hearing your insights to the past whether it be about gaming or otherwise. Your father seemed to be a great man, thanks for sharing!
I love the trip down memory lane stories John! I know we all love the internet but there was somthing about life before the internet that made the struggle worth it. For example it gave us reasons to spend an entire day at a bookstore reading and absorbing as much information as we could. It gave us reasons to talk to people we normally wouldnt just to find out tips and secrets for our video games. I'm sure we could go on with examples but I'm going to wrap this up by saying keep it coming!
Your video made me think back about my departed father. It's great to honor our fathers (and mothers) and remember and cherish them!
I'm over fifty this year and like you, I'm a gamer, since my twenties. Thanks for your candid videos!
Riding my bike to return books to the library and taking new ones home is one of my favourite carefree childhood memories. It's wonderful you have all those great pictures of your dad at work. Wonderful story, loved it.
Beautiful memory, thank you for sharing.
Johnny, your dad sounded awesome. Makes me cherish the time I have with my dad. Life is precious. Cheers!
Man, what a great place to of let your imagination go wild. Your dad sounded like a great guy, and that environment he basically brought you to gifted you a passion that you've carried with you to this day. That's truly amazing, and enlightening that in a way, through your passions, a big part of him lives on through it. Great story!!
Great story! My parents took me to see "Alien" when I was 8. It both scared the hell out of me and got me hooked on sci-fi horror. Mom also took me to see "This Is Spinal Tap" when I was 13. She had no idea what she was getting into, and I love her for it.
Thanks for the lovely story John, been following you for over a decade now and it's cool to hear a new story about your dad and the bond you two shared.
That's a beautiful story Johnny. R.I.P to your father.
great story man..thanks for sharing
I love this story. It made me think about my relationship with my dad. We're of a similar age Johnny and back in the early 80's my dad came home with a copy of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. That was one of those moments that defined who I was going to be. I've spent the majority of my life living in one kind of fantasy realm or another ever since then.
Today exactly 23 years since my dad passed away and here's this story.. the way you tell it.. oh maaan..
Love the FF7 music in the background. Always brings good memories to the forefront.
Beautiful, heartwarming, and unforgettable nostalgia! You always tell the best stories. It sounds like you had a lot of wonderful memories with your awesome dad. He raised an amazing son for sure. My dad passed away almost 1 year ago. I wished that I learned a few things from him while he was still alive. Unfortunately, I can't go back, and change anything. I can only make changes moving forward. Things have been very stressful for the past few days, and watching this video has definitely made the situation a bit more manageable. Thanks, once again Johnny for another awesome video! Thanks, for everything that you do! I greatly appreciate it! God bless, and stay safe!
Great story. I love the Short Circuit 2 clips! The store will live forever in a wacky sci-fi comedy.
I casually came across The World's Largest Bookstore shortly after moving to Toronto! Moved here in 2012, and went a number of times while I lived downtown! Now I have a piece of history to attach to that memory!
Love hearing all your stories from back then. Please do more of this. Those days take me back. Your Dad was awesome
Thanks for sharing this story, Johnny. These looks into your history always make for great episodes 😁🤙🏼
Wow! This story just made my day! What a cool experience and I totally get how that would have shaped you. Thanks for sharing this!
That was such a sick bookstore. I remember buying so many game guides from there.
Your story videos are my favorite videos on UA-cam. They’ve become nostalgic to me at this point
Another amazing storie and memory, thanks for share jhony its always a pleasure know about your life , and this time know a little bit about your old man, R.I.P
Thanks for sharing this story! Always a joy to listen to your stories.
This was so wonderful to hear about such a great story!
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to 2023 and beyond for the channel, yourself and your family. Take care
Johnny! Thank you so much for sharing all of these stories and memories with us over the years man. Can’t get enough! I say this every time I comment, but if you ever visit Japan, I would love to help you out anyway I can. Whether that’s transportation to a gaming convention or translating for you when talking to a Japanese creator, etc.
The World's Biggest Bookstore was as legendary as Sam the Record Man. So cool! I have great memories of both stores growing up in Toronto in the 80s.
What beautiful memories; I'm sure you went down a rabbit hole of thoughts and emotions while you were putting this video together. Thank you for sharing them with us.
So happy that you had this experience. I truly believe that times before the internet took off were different. I was lucky enough to be born in the mid-80’s and experience the simpler times in terms of technology in everyday life. Great video!
this was a great, personal video. it’s videos and youtubers like you that allow me to keep my faith that not everyone is doing these videos for superficial or shallow reasons. proud subscriber for a long time!
Johnny, it's these stories that keep me invested in your channel. Not the New Games Stuff, not the Games I've Been Playing, not the Top 10s, but the STORIES of your life. And the guests you have on (especially Robman). I feel like there are always new and interesting things to learn about you and to relate to, and that's what makes this channel so personable.
Wow! What a great memory and it felt like going into a time machine hearing thos story. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this story with us! Great to hear how folks were inspired into what they enjoy.
Great video John, great memories brought back from the 80's. Keep up the great work, sending wishes from the UK
Beautiful story, John! Thank you for sharing.
John, these are the type of videos that keep me coming back to your channel. Thank you for sharing memories of your father with us.
Man what a wonderful story! Its so nice to hear these stories from you. It sounds like that was such a happy time.
I Love these sit down stories you tell and have really enjoyed all of them throughout the years Johnny!
Johnny your stories are always so amazing to listen to, wether it being the bad parts or the good parts of your life. I hope your videos will stay here forever or that there is some kind of archive of your videos to relive the greatness of your videos all over again when you won't do UA-cam anymore in the future. You are someone I deeply respect and look up to.
Thanks Johnny for sharing such an amazing story/memory about you and your father when you were younger and the amazing experience you both had!
Love this, thanks for sharing. Love the Short Circuit footage!
Absolutely incredible. How exciting. Memories with family are so important. My family is everything. My condolences. May your father rest in peace. God bless you and your loved ones.
I'm loving this transportation back in time. You're such a great story teller
Wonderful Story John, thank you for sharing. These are good times. Awesome stuff !
I love your stories! Thank you so much for sharing them.
thanks for sharing the memories. was a fantastical place!
Sounds amazing. My Ma worked part time at the mall in the evenings, and I would run around there in the 90s. What a great time to be alive.
That is a wonderful story,taking us back to a wonder world in the 80s,felt nice to dive into it. WIsh i had known my dad....
Hey Johnny, long time viewer, part time commenter. Haven't watched a video of yours in awhile, but I love hearing you talk about your life man. Its so interesting to me. You're an amazing story teller. Just wanted to say I appreciate you doing what you do man. Keep up the good work!
Great story, thanks for sharing! Glad your dad left you with these happy memories
Those are some awesome personal stories. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful story, thank you for sharing!!
WOW! Awesome video! The way you tell the story is so compelling... thanks.
This was a really special story. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thats why I have come to better appreciate the older game magazines, comics, cards, old books, and of course photos of family and whatever else. ITs all so nostalgic and priceless. Great vid. ^
The journey, and inspiration. Fantastic story . Thanks for sharing this memory.
Bro I love the way you tell stories. Makes me so nostalgic for my own childhood

I have been watching this channel for a decade, and this is one of my favorite episodes!
What an incredible story ! Thank you so much for sharing such interesting memories of yours. I love it :)
Awesome story Johnny! Thanks for sharing.
The storytime vids are always my favorite. I could listen to this guy tell stories all day.
What an amazing story Johnny. I lost my dad sometime ago as well. God bless you and your family always. Love your Channel
I really enjoyed your story. It feels as I were part of it. You are telling stories very, very great. I can only imagine how it was but the feelings I had listening to you were awesome. :)
I remember trying to get my hands on the Tin Tin books at my local library. Thanks for sharing your story. What a magical time.
These are my favourite videos of yours I hope you do more! Its been quite a while since your last story video
You literally got to live my childhood dream, thanks for sharing. Kinda felt like i got to realize it a bit hearing you talk about it. Also RIP to your dad, he sounds like he was a good man!
Great story Johnny. When you tell stories like this is one of the main reasons I enjoy your channel. Your dad would be proud of you, he is proud of you.
Thanks for sharing Johnny, great story. My Father died last year so it's still fresh to me and I think about him and his influence a lot. We may have argued and I had some gripes with him, but he was the one who started my love for reading, fantasy and gaming. He took me to my first arcade, he managed to find me used PS1 when I tried to save money for it. But most importantly, he took me with him to library and showed me all the kids comic books, which I loved. At first I borrowed with him on his card, but I still remember the moment when I was old enough to get my own library card and borrow comic books and fantasy on my own name. He has introduced me to Lord of The Rings, Star Wars and a lot of great music. I miss him.
Great video ! very heart warming, thank you for all the content you share
