Bad collecting habits and MEAN comments - Pixel Podcast Ep. #15

[@21Studios_tk]

Gabbo’s favorite memory is about you guys! What a genuine guy!! He has a heart for others and that’s rare in today’s world. That’s a real friend right there.

[@mntngr346]

As a collector I have absolutely no desire to complete a set. Why would I want to fill my shelves with filler? A curated collection is more impressive than shelves full of games that suck.

[@karlsteev]

I wish I had friends like you guys. You are blessed to have a community that looks out for each other and cares deeply for each others well being. All you guys are amazing. Keep on your current path and create more people like yourselves.

[@xSGD23x]

Gabbo always rocking the retro Jordan’s. Love it.

[@bryankoepke1358]

You guys are blessed to have each other. My friends and i don’t make enough time to hang out like this.

[@meccanised]

"Don't keep things you don't want" - words to live by, right there

[@damienjames1702]

Loving the podcasts they have become a stable listen when in work and having to explain the podcast to customers when they see me chuckling away to myself while delivering parcels 😂

[@Dangitjibe]

There’s a store in Oklahoma called the Painted Tree which has all types of booths of individual sellers. Some of those sellers in their booths have random stickers you can buy. Two weeks ago when I was there, I found in a sticker bin… A SoCal Gaming Expo sticker that someone made. I had to buy it because I was like “wait! I think that’s PixelGameSquad!” I hope I can venture back to CA one of these days during the convention and experience the “amazingness” as Gabbo would say and meet each and every one of you guys 🙏🤞😊

Man, I’ve seen people got at Gabbo in the comments sometimes but the man is the real deal. Everyone needs a Gabbo in their lives

[@RetroKowboy]

I can't say enough how much I appreciate you guys, your podcast has always been therapeutic to me, on my way to work and when i go home, i always listen to your podcast in spotify. Its keeps getting better and better.

[@ivanvargas2425]

46:52 I never counted stadium events but I know some do

[@prime-directive]

Goonies II was titled "II" because it was seen as a sequel to the movie. I remember fruitlessly looking for the first one as a kid only to find out later it didn't exist. Also it was hard AF 😂

[@alexi111]

Gabbo is the man! You guys are all great

[@sleepymike7]

thanks for the full episode

[@Modiggidy790]

Great story riff. Gabbo with the Woooo had me rolling. Merry Christmas and God Bless guys.

[@madmexican2801]

Same, love the Gabo energy.

[@WavesNGames]

The Bobby's World game was never actually released. There is a ROM out there and the play through is about 45 minutes.

[@retro_yoyo]

What is your opinion on the completionist and his whole controversy over the donations ?

[@MightyD18]

Awesome video!! I believe the contra code worked on Life Force as well!!

[@RetroSho]

Hahaha!!! 24:23 I got my childhood copy of TMNT1 signed by Kevin Eastman some years ago! When I presented the game to him, he looked up at me and said "Are you sure? Don't you have TMNT 2 with you? It's the better game." I said nah, and he said "Well OK, but this game is trash!" 😂😂😂😂 I love all three games however. One day I'll have to meet up with him and have Turtles in Time signed. 🔥

[@SaturnSteve]

1:40:04 I love Kris - “The Art of Not Giving a F•••” is a *FANTASTIC* read, and mental exercise in picking and choosing one’s battles, and learning when and how to say “this doesn’t matter” while letting something go. Great talk, boys 🙏🏻🔥🫶🏻🔥🙏🏻

[@SaturnSteve]

Next I’ll read a book about run on sentences 😳 😅 😬

[@bryankoepke1358]

I collect for 10 consoles/handheld. 100 games per each max. NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One. And PS Vita. Everything I grew up with plus the Vita (best handheld imo)

[@sureno1503]

I enjoy how gabbo tells all of them their truths indirectly 😂

[@dylanzenskateboarding]

Yo Kurtis the fact you archive is genius 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@nicholaskingston390]

Pixel plus > Pixel Game Squad. More my style and relatable and less commercials.

[@TravisKershaw]

Love these podcasts 🤘thank y’all

[@IEBIGCAT]

Good stuff…….Merry Christmas ALL & may your 24 be the best ever!!!!!

[@pluspixel]

Happy Holidays to you as well 😊

[@adamh9271]

This is a mean comment… in fact it’s so mean it will be the meanest comment you get on this video 😡

[@pluspixel]

😂

[@nunowun6900]

Sad how u guys treat gabbo the giver, bunch of takers. I still remember the episode wen nes complex saw the collection he gifted Ricky in sum1 elses shelf...

[@dylanzenskateboarding]

Thank you so much y’all good times good show

[@ZombieXtreme84]

The warehouse episode was my first episode watching you guys 🤘😎 after that, my addiction for retro went off the roof.

[@pluspixel]

That’s really awesome! We appreciate the support 🔥

[@Back.too90s]

My greatest moment in game hunting happened yesterday. I found Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Jirachi Disk in a pile of random junk at local swap meet. Paid $1 for it

[@goodtimesslim3387]

what it's worth. None of these games or consoles are hard to find. Obviously.

[@charleshollis7141]

I highly recommend the Book The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday. Basically you guys were tip toeing around stoic principles with not letting strangers ruin your day. Stoicism will change your life and propel you towards success and happiness

[@sergioolivares-rueda5272]

Would love to know you guys' thoughts on Meat Canyons NOSTALGIA | Melvins Macabre video on the podcast

[@search_collectibles]

What an amazing show! ❤

[@TNDVideoGames]

The old rule applies. People would never say in person, what they say online. It’s sad, but true.

[@shawn0989]

Great episode as always. I totally agree. I don’t think reselling is bad at all now I do get annoyed with people that scalp brand new stuff like buy up every PlayStation they can find from target and then double and triple it

[@DERRICKROSAS]

There's nothing wrong with reselling. I've always said, there's a big difference between a reseller and gouger. Those people are scum lol

[@xanderfoley6641]

Nes complex mentioned! You guys should get him on the podcast

[@abey6131]

I love this podcast

[@Dangitjibe]

Negative comments for sure are just a waste of everyone’s time, especially the troll. Like, go do something productive with your time! 1:30:00 I agree with Chris. You don’t ever really feel like you win against them. Better to not stoop down to the troll/ hater levels of waste that they exemplify. Also side note**** I hope all you guys have a Merry Christmas and blessed New Year’s with your families (and everyone reading this) 👏🎄

[@pbailed8007]

Double dribble is definitely a B+ because if you play modern basketball games, the control design is pretty much the same. I couldn’t get over how 2K and double dribble I play it the same way.

[@Chicomite]

Archon has one of the coolest games in his collection, the cardboard box release of Battletoads on Sega Genesis. I have the cart, it's still kinda hard to find, but it's out there(the cart label has the box art on it whereas the clamshell's cart label is just red with text). What you'll probably never find is the cardboard box, Archon's copy is still the only one I've ever seen, in real life, on ebay, anywhere(he posted it on Instagram after I saw it on your video with him and I freaked out).

[@TexasTakeover0]

the ninja turtles originally all had red headbands

[@dirtbagdarrell2008]

The people in the Ozarks are the nicest people in the U.S without a dought.

[@leemires5315]

We love Gabbo!

[@leeproctor7382]

Captain n game master is like where kingdom hearts came from.

[@thomasgjernes4198]

A potential topic / question could be retro is the same thing as vintage.

[@Kazpper88]

HEY I KNOW YOUR A BUSY MAN BUT I ASKED IF WE CAN GET A PLAYLIST OF THESE FULL EPISODES OF THE PODCAST IN A PLAYLIST IT'S BEEN LIKE 2 MONTHS AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN MENTION WHAT NUMBER EPISODE THIS IS #15 ? ... MUCH ❤

[@BigSal92]

I love you guys are so awsome 💯

[@rocky-xp4we]

I love you guys 1:45:40

[@tonjagrannygamer]

The KZbin "KARENS" making videos about all the nasty resellers are ONLY doing it for clicks! Building their channel off the names of well known Tubers. Makes me sick! The true scumbags in my book. I only made the mistake once of watching one (and commented 😅 ) Not feeding those trolls anymore. Way back I had issue with someone taking free items from me and reselling locally. I was all in my head "that's #$%& ! I thought it was going to someone who needed it." But, they did. Just in a way differently than I imagined. So, in reality, the issue was mine not theirs. I have zero issue being a possible helping hand for anyone, especially since I obviously did not need or want the items anyway. Spread joy, not hate ❤❤

[@retrowatcher]

I noticed on this latest podcast, Riff made a throw away a comment about the open hand foundation. And you guys have had Jirard on in the past, are obviously friends with him and even invited him back on the show. Just curious what your actual take is on this whole situation, especially since you have yet to say anything. Some transparency here would be greatly appreciated.

[@MindPacific]

First

[@VAMIP1]

I would love for you to have collectors on from around the world and see how there experiences differs from you guys @retroghetto would be a great person to have on the show even if it’s via zoom call

[@goodtimesslim3387]

mass produced bythe 100s of millions for US market. None of this stuf is rare or hard to find. the market value is over hyped cause literally anyone can find this stuff at a yard sale or swap meet.
