Dude. I can’t stop watching your videos. Love the format you have going on.. the wholesomeness in your speech.. the view of the tv with single light in your hand and controller.. random joke shots thrown in… a great mix. Keep up the awesome work🤘🏻🙌🏻

Ah, that Liar Liar reference was the icing on the cake for this vid. You are a man of culture.

[christopherdowling]

Love the liar liar reference for which one is better. I could hear “write it…write it or I’ll break it off”

I liked the 16 bit war between Sega & Nintendo.
Back in the 90s I used to like better the SNES. As years passed I started to appreciate the Genesis, although I still feel their games are harder & unforgiving, but you gotta have both the SNES & Genesis.
My other 3 all time favorite consoles are the PS1, PS2 & NES. An honorable mention is the Sega Dreamcast, it was a great console ahead of its time.

You always have great topics to talk about. Best Regards.

I feel you on discovering things as an adult. Growing up there was no way I could afford import games, or even know which ones were good most of the time. So it wasn't until I was grown up with a job that I could discover what the Saturn & PC Engine really had to offer. Those two are both locks for my top 5 these days. I was a SNES kid growing up, and fought many a fierce schoolyard battle against House Genesis. Magazines like EGM gave me the impression that the Genesis was way weaker. But coming back to it, I see the SNES' limitations, and that sound chip has not aged well. While the Genesis' processor allowed for more animation frames (the lack of which so often annoyed me with the SNES and PlayStation 1) and way less slowdown, so I think it's aged better. Just a shame about the awful colour display. I can't do a top 5 because then I'd have to choose between the Neo Geo and the Dreamcast, but I'm not a YouTuber so I don't have to.

1. Awesome Trinitron, check. 2. Great positive enthusiastic family friendly humor, check. 3. Awesome production value, check

[abletothink]

Mine are as follows:

5. Original Xbox
4. Xbox 360
3. Genesis
2. PS1
1. Super Nintendo

The top 3 are so close they're basically interchangeable.

I was more of a Nintendo guy growing up, but I also love Sega consoles, and even have love for the master system. My top 5 consoles are similar to your choices. 1. NES 2. SNES 3. Genesis 4. PlayStation 5. Wii. I still play all of these regularly.

You know someone creates great content on youtube when youre in a store and while buying some bananas you think about retrogaming, thanks for good content bird !

[chrishensley]

Not considering backwards compatibility:
SNES
Genesis
Xbox 360 (A recent pick-up for me & games are dirt cheap!)
Dreamcast (I picked up a TON of stuff on closeout Typing of the Dead is a blast!)
Atari 2600 ( Pure nostalgia pick & Homebrew community is very active)
Great Video!

I know what you mean about the Cube, it was weird when it was out. But I think gamers played it more than they even realize. It has almost no shovelware and the releases were coming one after another in all kinds of genres. Luigi's Mansion, Rogue 2, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, Windwaker, Skies, RE4, Mario Kart, Super Smash, Pikmin, F-zero... It goes on and on. So when you step back and reflect it's like dang there were a ton of amazing games on that system. That in turn makes you realize how much you actually played that system back in the day without even realizing it. It was a bizarre console for sure.

I enjoyed the Liar Liar skit, your videos are always a good time!

[Shishkebarbarian]

my first console was the NES in 1989 when i was 4. With that in mind, here is my list:
1]PC Gaming 1995-2000 (I feel like this counts as a console generation, you can comfortably run everything from that era on a PC from 1998).
2] PSX
3/4] Super Genesitendo
5] Gameboy. the original if i had to pick only one library but the GBA can play original and color games so that's my preference.

Your content is pure gold. Always puts a smile on my face Never stop being yourself! 
My top five is Gamecube, SNES, PS2, Switch & Wii. I have so many fond memories of me and my brother playing Gamecube as little kids. Chao Garden, Delfino Plaza, F-Zero, Double Dash, TTYD, Metroid Prime, SSX3, Pikmin.... gosh.. NFS Hot Pursuit 2 and Underground 1 & 2 we spent weeks together on that game.. and I haven't even mentioned Tony Hawks Underground yet =P It's my childhood in a bottle. Also.. flying the helicopter in 007 Nightfire multiplayer is GOLD!! =D
