*Gaming Historian destroys Steven Kent's credibility.*

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

Out of curiosity, I looked up reviews of the book, and this one-star review on Amazon is scathing as hell: "This is a useful book if you want gossip on the US industry and its people and background. It is not history, since the author makes no attempt to distinguish text obtained from interviewees from other source detail of events. In fact, there is no historical method at all. There are very few numbers in the book: which is an horrific failing. The author has ignored all published information in the filings of quoted US companies. He has ignored all published detail in old US quoted companies. Most seriously, he has ignored the data for all industry companies outside of the US. He knows nothing of the balance sheets of Nintendo, nor Sega, nor Sony. He knows nothing of Europe or Japan. There is interesting detail on what is easy: legal spats between participants in the US. These are serious failings because, as the author fails to analyse the profit impulse, his narrative fails to understand cause and effect. Does he think these companies are in this for fun? Anything on the second hand market? No. Ultimate? No. History? No. This book is a jolly story, no more."

@@slashtiger1 It´s very uncommon that someone interests in a foreign language. But how have you asked, here is the original phrase made in spanish. "Rectificar es de sabios". The google translation does not adjust exactly to the meaning of the phrase made. Cheers.

[@slashtiger1]

@@Mithrandirkun I know it's rare. Thanks for providing me the original anyway. It's because I am really interested in languages. So much so, in fact, that I can speak 6 of them and understand even more. The ones I speak are English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch. I can also write in these languages. I was particularly curious about what word would be used for wise men. Turns out the phrase is exactly the same in Portuguese, except for obvious grammatical differences. In case you were wondering, the languages I can understand, but not truly speak, are the Scandinavian languages: Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. And then there is Frisian, which is a language presently spoken in the North of the Netherlands, in the province of Friesland. As you may have gathered by now, languages are a true passion of mine. Should you share this passion, then I can recommend the KZbin channels Langfocus and Nativlang. If you don't already know of them, that is.

As for me personally, I have quite a number of gaming collectibles, and without you, I wouldn't have even known about some them, such as the JVC X'Eye and Victor Wondermega M1. Your videos have even helped influence me to get Tengen's NES version of Tetris as well as the 64DD.

@@ZipplyZane You know, I just really wanted to trick as many people as I could into thinking that I'd have videos on my KZbin channel.

[@ZipplyZane]

@@audrianaonline Ah. A little baby troll. Cool. Thought maybe you had planned on making videos but hadn't uploaded one yet.

Norman, the man who never made a mistake never made anything. Your shows are the very best around, the quality has become absolute first rate in every sense of the term. I have personally watched some of your videos many times and always find them interesting. EDIT: Right as i posted that comment you quoted exactly what i had just posted!! It's true mate, very true. Very few will ever have a reason to be so proud of anything as you have for your creations here.

If you watched any of these videos in an elevator: Wrong on so many levels.

[@genuineangusbeef8697]

I'm a minute into the video and yep, I'm in an elevator

Heheheh :)

Daaaang, bro

Damn, calling out when you talked about a popular myth like the coin shortage. That's a extreme level of devotion to correct information. Good for you. Also most of us believed Keiji Inafune... so can't blame you for that. (Though you drop those Japanese names so effortlessly, that's impressive.)

I'm a long time fan of this channel and it would be great to see at least some of the really old videos remastered and updated, because certain ones aren't that great by your current standards e.g. the short videos you did on the NES Top Loader :).

[@kimjongun2946]

Wow, I remember watching your first videos over a decade ago when you probably had less than 5k subs. You're still going and nearly 1mil. Congrats and happy to see you still going strong. Regards, The Dear Leader

[@xAjido]

Really enjoyed the video, no harm in making a mistake sometimes..especially when you come out and correct them.

[@JubeiSenpai]

Funny how the punch out vid was a patreon vote. That was my first Documentary of yours I saw. Came up as a recommendation while listing to the game music lol. Gonna watch more of your videos and highly considering the patreon support for your channel. Keep up the hard work. These documentaries don't look easy to make and I'm enjoying them so far.

[@ZachDarvin]

Makes a video about erratums, but makes a well produced video while at it! Norman The Gaming Historian is one of my favorite Documentary KZbin Channels. Inspired me to do Video Game Documentaries as well but in the Filipino language.

[@willmatheson]

Plural of erratum is errata. Similar to datum / data.

[@adeptmechanism5180]

Everyone makes mistakes, Norm. You still kick ass and keep the great videos going. They are very interesting. Your video about Tetris was compelling to even my mother, who has always hated video games as a whole. We have your back.

I love how passionate Nintendo's developers were, regarding their projects

[@r.u.s.e3586]

Honestly even today they are incredibly passionate. One of the few AAA developers I still have any respect for.

[@PlutoCometChild]

One of my favourite channel! Good job gaming historian sir!

[@MousePounder]

This is easily one of my favorite channels!

[@Watermelon855]

Looking at you now I get a feeling that you've finally moved out of your parents house, you gained so much confidence and I love that. It's great to see people changing for the better.
