Game Room Tour - Updated

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@dokkenrox The turntable is rockin' with Dokken. Thanks for donating it dude!

[@shanereynolds9618]

MetalJesusRocks are you rockin.....with Dokken. lmao. i saw that in another old video recently lol

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@majinpowers - Thanks! I wish Shivers 2 would have been a bigger hit... but that was a weird time for both PC games and Sierra. They were really struggling against the FPS and Myst's of the world. Thanks for the comment!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Since the making of this video (11 months ago) I have now added a Saturn to my collection, along with 30 games so far. It's a great system and I hope to one day add the rarest RPG to my collection: Panzer Dragoon Saga! I'd love to play it.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I worked for a Seattle multimedia company that unfortunately is no longer in business called M2K. In addition to authorizing DVDs for places like Best Buy and Costco...we had a technology review site called NewDigitalReporter

[@MrAgilla]

This guys seems alright I reckon he will big a success in the future

[@SolidSonicTH]

You're like the best friend I can't have because we're nowhere near each other. Besides just having an amazing place to chill your videos just come across as you talking to camera without any embellishment or masquerade, meaning you can get a really good feel for how you would be with off-camera.

[@Dr-retro]

amazing game room mate! A lot of classics in there and even a lot of stuff that I'm still looking for!

[@The8bittheater]

awesome game room.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@TheBladeJunker - Yeah, the drop cloths is great for keeping them looking nice. The orange Game Boy player is the Japanese model! Got it locally and it works great.

[@mercuryshadow09]

I'm 41 and grew up playing all of those systems, listen to all the same music you do, I'm also an aspiring drummer, been playing for 5 years, anyway keep the vids coming! YOU ROCK!

[@CunnilingusVolcano]

Are you still alive? Did you ever start that collection

[@infiniteascensionn]

Loving your collection bro, one of the best out there. And that Vinyl collection? Man, makes me want to crank out my older brothers collection of vinyl's and start listening to them (:

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@7711GHOST11771 - It's been my experience that the SNES lasts longer, because the cartridge slot doesn't have any moving parts. The original breadbox NES is slot loading and almost every one of them will get the dreaded blinking red or blue lights when you try to use it. I have 3 original NES consoles, and none of them work right now. You could just get the Retron3 clone system, which allows you to play NES, SNES and Genesis/MegaDrive games!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@OnThatPowder - It is the Japanese GameBoy Player for the GameCube.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

You remember Shivers 2? Wow. That's cool! The game is definitely a bit forgotten these days...but it has it's fans because it was just different enough to stand out. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I've lost 42 lbs since the making of this video. It's people like you who motivate me to keep it off.

[@amozoness6]

"Sadly it just doesn't get enough love... that console kinda blows." lmao You've a fantastic game room... it's inspiring! ;)

[@dvdknight1]

Jason really enjoy watching your early episodes. Great to see the consoles and games before the market exploded.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

That TV you see in my Game Room tour is not an HDTV...it's a big ol' tube TV so I can play things like the Atari 2600 and Colecovision.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@Caparzoshow That lamp is a hand-me-down from a friend. He probably had it in college with his black leather couch. :)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Glad you like the song. You can download the whole thing on my web site. I'll email you the link.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@CreepersKO - I don't have the X360 Slim, just the original fatty with a custom E3 05 faceplate. So far, so good... although I would appreciate eventually owning a Slim, because I heard they are quieter.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Only tube tvs like mine will work with older light guns. Not sure how to get them to work with newer LCD or Plasma tvs...

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@TheAlbinoRainbow - I haven't... but now Code Monkey's is in my Watch Now que. Thanks!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@TeamRocketReviews - I've heard that about the Atari computers. Most people recommend just collecting for that system! I may do that in the future.

[@ukretrogameaddict]

Awesome collection dude it's really filling out nice - some classic titles in there and the AV set up is totally sweet - good job!

[@NismoJoeB13]

Hey Metal Jesus, don't know if this was addressed, but as an audiophile, the reason why I like the SCPH-1001 Playstation is that it has a great D/A converter for CD playback. the direct RCA outputs make it more convenient and offer a cleaner audio signal out to my receiver/amp. some modders have even installed higher output capacitors on the signal end to have a more powerful signal output from the RCA. I use mine with a PS2 DVD remote to use it as a standalone CD player. :)

[@InfinitiveShadow]

You have one of the most well-aged SNES's I have ever seen. You may have just earned yourself a new subscriber!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@mattthehandsome - That's a tough question, because everybody has their own definition of "retro". For me, retro is technically the Atari 2600, which is what I loved as a kid. However, most people would agree that the Super Nintendo or Genesis are great to start with because they did 2D games so well, and there are hundreds of great titles to choose from! Since you are in the US, I would recommend checking out what is available cheap on Craigslist to start. Good luck!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I don't have a Walmart anywhere near where I live. They really aren't common in Seattle.

[@turkdank24]

Very Kick Ass collection!, Metal Jesus. You've given me some ideas to organize my collection. Keep up the good work and the videos coming.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@WinXPwhiz - I really like Puyallup! Such a nice place and you got a kickin' Fair each year.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@TheEpicShinn - I ran a professional review web site for many years. Sadly, the main company that funded it went out of business, so it got shut down. But it was glorious run for a while. I had a new package of games on my doorstep every day for years. Sony, Midway, Capcom, Microsoft, you name it!

[@flareagaman]

This is awesome! I'm a student and not a serious collector, I just try to get the games I know will hold their value or the ones I want to play myself...I envy your collection, it's great you share breh.

[@hair89]

you have an EXCELLENT taste in music. AC/DC, Judas Priest, Ratt, The Police, etc. are some of my favorite bands of all time. Long live rock music!

[@pacocyborg]

Amazing room! Love that turntable.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I worked for a company that had a Professional review web site and press contacts at all the major game developers and publishers. Sadly...they went out of business...but it was a glorious ride for many, many years.

[@kryyptyyk]

Man, that's a really clever idea, especially for MY room.. we live right nearby a rock quarry and hot damn if our house isn't constantly dusty no matter what or how often we clean/air the room out, et cetera.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

At first, I thought this comment was going to be a total TROLL...but then you completely surprised me! My favorite comment of the week. Rock on buddy! \m/

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@qujo123 - I played about half of Baten Kaitos on the GC, before getting a little bored with it... however, I always intended to go back to it, as you can tell it's a very high quality game.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@xdetmipx - I traded those games a few years ago.. And while I enjoy them, they are not my favorites. I may add them back into the collection at some point

[@clock655321]

All your videos kick ass! You truly are a game collector! Your vinyl vids are also cool. Keep on rocking Metal Jesus!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I've never owned a new copy of FF7...but a good used copy is not hard to find locally in Seattle. Every retro gaming store would have it... or you could get it from sites like eStarland or StoneAgeGamer

[@majinpowers]

Great gaming room! its beyond cool that you worked for Sierra, there one of my favorite video game companies of all time. Being in Shivers 2 is very cool as well.

[@Gehrich_]

@MetalJesusRocks All of the games were broadcast for a short time so you can't actually collect for it. Most of them were very different remixes of NES and SNES games like Zelda and Fire Emblem. If you're up for the trouble of finding the SNES roms and emulating them you'll have some fun games to play. I've got a soft spot for Japanese games so I've spent some time looking into everything that wasn't brought here.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I do a lot of video capture for my YT channel using the Elgato capture device. Why? Would you recommend S-Video?

[@shymickey6]

I can listen to you talk all day MetalJesus. :) You're so awesome.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@FCLV04 - Years ago, I used to do professional video game reviews. I was getting daily packages from UPS with games from Sony, Microsoft, Capcom, Square, Konami, etc....etc... It was very cool.

[@wleon4068]

Do you ever collect for the Atari ST or Amiga? In fact, do you have an Atari ST or Amiga as there were some great games for them.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@majsterb3 - I'd like to add a Saturn in the future. There are some awesome shooters for it!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@miguelangel408 Pawn shops and thrift stores have the best deals, but they are really hit and miss in my area. As for games I own, I have over 900 now.

[@Seventizz]

Ugh, seeing all those boxes, carts, and disc jewel cases so faded really breaks my heart. Come on man, you gotta box everything and keep the games in binders or shelves (well, you got half of that part right). This is like the first thing you learn in retro game collecting 101!

[@josevelajr]

I use those plastic drawers to store stuff too and it works really well, albeit smaller ones because i use them for all my handhelds and accessories. *Flashes Final Fantasy III* "Not a bad little collection." :)

[@NismoJoeB13]

Awesome! I use a JVC i'Art, too! I have a 20" from college and it runs all my old consoles perfectly!

[@Darian-mk1bw]

I love how the intro has stayed roughly the same over all these years!

[@NismoJoeB13]

The original PlayStation, SCPH-1001 has a great D/A converter and the separate RCA out makes for better sound separation. I fixed one to use as a CD player. I use the PS2 DVD remote so I can just sit back and relax while listening to tunes.

[@tlbodine543]

Have you ever played the Jagged Alliance computer game series? One of my all-time favorite video games. They are actually releasing a new version in a month or so.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@asscrack244 - I used to have Full Throttle, but I can't find it!! So annoying, because I LOVE that game! So much fun. They really need to re-release it for the iPad. it would be perfect on a touch device like that.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@oDEATHBATo I picked my switcher up at Frys.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@sewageking0 That was the Collector's Edition of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

[@WATCHMYSTUFF117]

man i wish i had your set up dude that gameroom is the bomb

[@KurikuShoTto]

Huh. I was really lucky when I went to Scotland for holiday a few years, I went to a random Gamestation and they were selling new copies of Final Fantasy VII at 2nd hand price because they found a couple in a warehouse apparently. It was like 15 pounds. Which is still pretty expensive but I was happy ^^. Love this video. Thanks for showing us your awesome room :D.

[@AnubisDark]

maybe you'll find it useful but you know the small clip to attach a bag of breast ? you can use these around your cable and write like "PS3" , "NES", etc. on it to identify your power cable or RCA.

[@GirthBlixon]

You sir, truly are living the gamers dream.. your man cave is everything i aspire to have in the near future as an avid gamer.. great video by the way :D One question though, do you prefer 360 to PS3.. just curious seeing as the difference in games you have would suggest so :L

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@gramirezg21 - I have about 300 vinyl records, and a couple Metallica including Garage Days Re-Revisited and other classics.

[@volkte37]

Nice to see a big gamer give the PS2 some love!

[@MrTrailerhood]

Creatures of the Night on Vinyl?????? That is pure enjoyment........ Wish I could visit to hear that greatness in its glory

[@shahid1296ify]

great tour mate ,loving your collection!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@marleybawuah - I prefer the X360 for a couple reasons: 1) I LOVE achievements and trophies just don't mean as much on the PS3. 2) The Xbox Live service rocks. 3) Most of my friends and family are on the Xbox. When I log into my PS3, I'm amazed how people haven't logged in for 2, 3 or 6 months!

[@ZroDfects]

You used to work for Seirra ? that would be awesome.... Love the adventures games they did, had alot of them on my Amiga...

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@jamieleehayden - My wife and I met while working at the video game company Sierra Online back in the 90's, so she knew what she was getting herself into.

[@RealMarcFoxx]

I just noticed this comment of yours. I'm not a game collector really, though I do pick up odds and ends of games I like. Let me say that it's easy to forget that people like MetalJesus collect all of these games over many years. We're talking 10, 20, 30 years or more. Don't try to match these guys you see on KZbin by spending all of your money buying up everything as quickly as possible. Collect as you can, finding super cheap deals. Visit yard sales, thrift stores, and GoodWills.

[@partsman26able]

i liked the PS1 because on certain games, like Vigilante 8 you could start a level, switch out the disc to your on CD and rock out to your own music during game play. try Vigilante 8 while jamming to AC/DC. definitely changes things. lol!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@helzabre - This is the 1st I've heard of the Satellaview. I actually had to look it up on Wikipedia! I've just only recently started getting into the whole Japanese hardware and software side of collecting.

[@Joeyriblets]

great vid man, always enjoy your channel!

[@RetroGamerGirls]

ohhh you have phantasmagoria on pc!!!! that game is so under rated. i still have both of them and love them. nice collection!

[@thehouseofhoops]

I hope you have a powerful surge protector(s) with all the thunder storms in the Seattle area :) Awesome vid!

[@BoredOfThisSite]

Oh man, you have the ICO cage and candle. My Holy Grail.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

+BoredOfThisSite I do...got it from Sony when I was professionally reviewing

[@BoredOfThisSite]

MetalJesusRocks That's so cool. I'm primarily a PlayStation collector and a Team ICO obsessive, so that's massively impressive to me. Never let that one go.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

@fivedollarparking - I believe you are referring to the guy who runs the Racketboy web site. I'll PM you the link. I love that video!

[@christurkthebrave]

Hey metal Jesus, I love your game room, you have an amazing set up. Cool to hear that you used to work for Sierra also. Love the GameCube collection you have too!

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

How times have changed. I miss your old brick basement 😓

[@mazze84]

Love the setup. Mine look like a mess, and I don´t even have a fraction of all that. Although, I got it all cramped up in a flat. Great man-cave though, really inspiring. Keep it up. Rock on

[@poulsensteffen]

That room is just awesome. I have built a home gym in my house, I would love to have a game room to. Not sure my wife would be too happy about it though. :-)

[@SegaCanuck]

cool I have the same Logitech cordless controller for PS2, it's pretty sweet. I have never seen a power strip with a remote, going to look for some today. Thanks dude.!

[@mercuryshadow09]

I was about to jump all over that guy, I came across your channel about a week ago through Gamester81 I think, anyway, we have a lot in common and I love your videos, I ran across some hard times two years ago and sold 99% of m,y collection, I only still have my 360 and Dreamcast (couldn't part with it), I get sad but also get so much joy from watching your vids, Continued...

[@RGFILMSANDREVIEWS]

@MetalJesusRocks nice collection, id be scared as hell of a house fire or basement flood.

[@RelliKsReliCsTheBeerNinja111]

Metal Jesus Nice Man Cave, and I love your game systems! Although if you ever what to throw out game boxes let me know because I would love to take them!

[@RE-LOOIE]

Unbelievable collection, man. I was happy to see Enter the Matrix in your original Xbox collection. A very overlooked game in my opinion that's actually a blast to play through. I found the Path of Neo to be very enjoyable as well. And the PS2, wow, you have just about every game I love for the system, including Lord of the Rings The Return of the King. You get my seal of approval :)

[@kryyptyyk]

Also, I really need to find a flat tube tv like that =\ Using HDtv just doesn't feel... right? Especially since those "hd converters" can be pricey and not always work right etc. It's harder to find space FOR one of those big tv's than it is to FIND one of those tv's, and it's HARD TO FIND one of those tv's! haha. :)

[@markvergeer]

Wow you got some Herman Brood vinyl! Cool!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

That is the GameCube RPG: Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

[@RealMarcFoxx]

I know your comment is 6 months old, but that's absolutely not true -- a lot of people collect for PCs. Lotta KZbinrs here too. Check out "LGR" for one.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

This may have been true a few years ago, but lately classic PC games have skyrocketed in value. Look up some of the Ultima Collections on ebay...or the SSI gold box D&D games

[@frylock456]

Hey MetalJesusRocks, have you ever played Brutal Legend? It just seems like a game that would be perfect for your tastes.

[@SlipKnoTfreak1456]

DUDE...nice vinyl collection...i got For Those About To Rock signed and framed :)

[@Dragao1010]

lol, i just had to pause at 6:00 to compare your tv to mine, their identical from what i examined, and btw your entire collection is full of win win

[@CpkTunes]

Uve got the police ghost in the machine album on vinyl! Thats sick man

[@metallimaniac]

Nice collection. I love watching these room tours. Made one myself but it's only 500 games, lol. Still proud of it though :) Link in the description doesn't work :(

[@RPGFreak06]

very nice, shenmue and speed devils for the dreamcast, 2 of my favorites

[@GamerVisi0n]

great video man love the room its awsome :) and I see you got retro gamer magazines I used to get them but havent bought one in a long time now lol

[@Chris.Colossal]

Awesome collection dude :D
