I haven't made videos in forever, but my son has been making videos himself and I thought I'd spruce them up a bit. This is his second one (first was Mario 64). Didn't think you guys would give a shit about Mario 64, but it's insightful to see what a kid thinks about a game that's over twice as old as he is.

I honestly find it surprising that he believes the game is good. Most kids his age nowadays do not give a crap about anything that is less than full HD. You've taught him well.

That's awesome. I saw this video posted on Reddit. No idea it was your kid, obviously.

i sense a bit of bias here.

I think we all expected negative thoughts. This shuts down our typical response. "...kids these days just dont get it"....

I tried to tell him"the graphics aren't very good anymore," and he actually shut me down saying he thought for 16 bit they were! Lol

It's cool he like's it, TBH guy's the game has held up well considering how old it is, over 20 year's now.
My son's been playing it for year's, he's 17 now and still love's it, it's a classic.

Don't quit your day job, kid.



lol, jk. Encouragement is awesome though. Old little snipets are cool for us, maybe something more along the lines of his age would work better?

considering Minecraft is one of the most popular games kids play I don't think they really give a shit what a game looks like, and if they don't want to play the classics its probably because of the dreaded stigma of it being "old" like those damn kids from Back to the Future 2

I'm not surprised. My nephew is about 8 and he loves the older stuff. When he comes over he always wants to play Turtles in time or SOR2. Those beat em ups are just fun.

Very nice.

I played SoR2 and 3 with my 9yr old daughter earlier this year. We finished 2 and still working on 3. She likes the game but always eat the chicken at the worst time.

That dude [Metal Jesus] should stick to old PC games, his channel would be much more interesting.

The only times I care about his videos are when Kelsey is in them, because she's fucking hot... and smarter than him too. Otherwise cringeworthy channel.

This is cool. He can be a voice for younger kids, and show them some of the older games they are not exposed to

No, she's the exotic looking brunette that owns her own game store.

EDIT:

By exotic looking you mean child like. She looks way too young. She might be 30, but she's hiding it well with genetics and makeup.

I agree with you for the most part. I feel like Kelsey is definitely a lot more informed than Metal Jesus when it comes to stuff like Japanese games, handhelds, JRPGS, and some game history/lore. Mainly stuff I enjoy as well so I find her contributions good. The fact that she's a co-owner of those gaming stores in Seattle helps as well, she probably has a lot more experience with everything. I bought something from there maybe like 5 years ago and I think it was her that honored the misprice on a TG16 I wanted to pick up, which was unexpected.

I find it even more surprising that he isn't fucking shredded like his old man. Oh well, give him another year and I'm sure he'll be benching more than me by then.
