Download Pascal's Wager here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/1456650/view/30449… Bro it's crazy how many weird, failed consoles there are out there. RIP to everyone that backed Ouya on Kickstarter
-
My dad worked at a 3D0 so that was my first console and I've literally never met another human being who's owned one lol.
-
Google Stadia instantly became so irrelevant that I honestly completely forgot about its existence until you mentioned it
-
Pretty poetic that 3DO's launch game was called "Crash and Burn."
-
If PC is so good where’s PC2?
-
The Wii U feels like a strange case where the console itself was a failure, but has an absolutely stunning library of games.
-
If you ever want to go down a crazy rabbit hole, look up the Gizmondo. Failed portable console who’s CEO turned out to have ties to the Swedish mafia and crashed a Ferrari. It’s banana sandwiches
-
I remember having a Wii U when I was younger, and I had a good experience with it despite the poor sales. Everyone I talked to would ask me "Hey, do you have any games?" and I would be like "Yeah, I have some". Then when asked what console I had, I told them I had a Wii U. They usually looked at me "wtf is that?".
-
“It’s called a cell phone” had me laughing out loud in the gym!
-
This is like playing 3DO at Gex’s house.
-
Background music in this video: 👌😔

When I was a teen I watched and rewatched AVGN time and time again and again and again. Now, in my mid-20s, this video felt like a very welcome trip to the past. Thank you
-
The Sega Dreamcast and Wii U wasn’t even bad consoles, they just came out at either bad time, or had bad marketing. I liked playing with both
-
The Ouya is what happens when a bunch of parents think "Hey how hard can it be?"
-
The virtual boy will always look like a portable camp grill
-
I actually enjoyed the Ouya..... For 2 hours before it overheated and permanently broke. So much for that fan they claimed was so powerful since they didn't take in how you had to have proper ventilation.
-
Despite being 15 when the Virtual Boy came to the US, the perfect age for video games, if I hadn't stuck my face in one at Blockbuster, I never would have seen one. It's such a terrible product that I don't know a single person who bought one.

When I was growing up, if your family owned a Neo-Geo, you were considered RICH!

Day #2 of asking Act Man to make a "Why Is BLOODBORNE So AWESOME?!?!"

My childhood was very lucky and unlucky. My parents opened a Video Store in 1982- 2002. We rented video game consoles and of course many games from all the consoles released during them years. When they decided to close the Video Store, I was able to keep everything gaming. So I became a console collector, I own every US home & Handheld gaming unit ever made with the exception of the NintendoStation. I even went back and got the Magnavox Odyssey from 1972. What sad is, that I do own every console you showed off. Except the Japan consoles and I agree with you in every way.
