OLD FUN STUFF 2 - Happy Console Gamer

[@MadPanicGaming]

John, I gotta say, that is some exceptional artwork. A career in comics might have been right up your alley.

[@BrandNewByxor]

My parents' cats were called Akira and Kanada. I never actually realised where the names came from.

[@MrSintastic]

I was there at midnight for the Episode 1 toys and bought them all and still have them all mint in box. Unfortunately they are not worth much. Still fun to have. The hype for that movie is still unparalleled. 17 yrs, just ridiculous.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

You're old fun stuff

[@logancross09]

its epic when you and johnny have videos on the same day. GAMES BRO GAMES!!

[@Shinobi729]

Its so great to take a nostalgia trip and look through old drawings and stuff. Reminds me to look through my own closet and see whats there! Love the drawings and please show more of your art, its amazing! :D

[@deadpan666true]

Love seeing the old stuffs in these vids...keep 'em coming! :)

[@wastedwishes1]

Man, your art on everything (in this video and others)...just all around top notch.

[@martyhoward6727]

Not sure if you look at these old videos but I really enjoy this stuff. Wish I had a friend like you these days!

[@MordaBE]

This channel is just overflowing with pure passion!

[@VGMusicExplorers]

When you tell stories, I can just feel the nostalgia as if I were there. Awesome video's man. :)

[@POObung]

Keep these coming they are by far the best content you make in my opinion, to me these trips down memory lane bring me right back along with you.

[@Mrmario315]

I could seriously watch Johnney go through that art book all day. Amazing stuff!

[@Riz2336]

Yeah man, it's fun to look through old shit from the past.

[@NefariousDreary]

I was a little kid in the early 90's but you and I were alot alike in that we would tape soundtracks from the tv or whatever and then make cover art, and such creative things like that. super cool

[@conrad_on_youtube]

Thanks Johnny for this awesome episode ! Your artbook is great, I would love to see some scans of this ! Cheers from France :)

[@chestercopperpot8370]

Your artwork is amazing! I watched Mark Kistler's Imagination Station constantly as a kid and I've been drawing ever since. It's nostalgic and inspirational to see how our minds worked as children. Great video!

[@kannabi]

"Too Satanic" has now been replaced with "I'm Triggered"

[@interghost]

Like these videos John, really cool to see your old stuff. I was thinking of doing videos like this when I get around to sorting out my loft!

[@sir_mattimus7069]

Nice artwork! I use to draw constantly. I was never very good at drawing mecha but I do love it. I drew my own comic as well. I love the excitement as you flip threw old art, reminds me of how I am lol.

[@CRproductionfilms]

These videos always bring a smile to my face! Great video

[@pabramsarch]

Love this guy, he is basically a review of my childhood

[@SeafoamSmiles]

I love these videos. Some of that art was INCREDIBLE!

[@studiotime6671]

One of your best episodes ever. Your artwork is amazing.

[@AlohaGamester]

I am thoroughly impressed. Your mech drawing , how cool!

[@AlohaGamester]

After watching your video through i need to add , im thoroughly impressed by all of your artwork you displayed for us. Well done!

[@raymondlaney8508]

Awesome video love your stories behind everything. I can see it happen as you explain it you rock!!!

[@jaycenteno8385]

OMG!!! I had Jet Fighter when I was a kid, I didnt know the name and it was missing the top piece, I also remember that from playing with it so much a ton of the paint had chipped off too. That toy went through hell and back for me and I loved it! You made me a little misty eyed with that one.

[@oasisbeyond]

This guy is nuts! 25/25 +5 bonus points, just so he doesn't destroy the world lol.

[@sjmatiak]

I remember Bone, that comic was in Disney Adventures magazine back in the day.

[@843evorider]

I don't mind your long videos, I save them for the weekend and watch them with my kids over breakfast .

[@darrenmckeown990]

I always wanted Jetfire as a kid. I to have kept hold of my all drawings and sketches from my childhood, glad I never threw them out

[@ldkreationz03]

You totally bring back great memories. Dig your ch!

[@maarekstele2815]

oh this brings back a lot of memories man..

[@88DreadGT]

Johnny, love these episodes. I did a lot of that kind of drawing with Star Blazers, 1970's Super Robots, Transformers. On that note I remember vividly the Skyfire/Jetfire "controversy." I still have late 70's Star Wars card collections, and a complete Superman II card collection. Empire and Jedi got those too. I'd ride my bike to the store and blow my allowance on those cards when they were 25 cents a pack with that nasty rock hard bubble gum. I wish I could edit video and share it.

[@SevereRepugnance]

Awesome man, your artwork was badass! Wasn't aware you possessed such abilities. Kudos!

[@GameEscape]

Great video. I am sure you've gotten this suggestion quite a bit, but I think you should do some hi-res scans of your childhood artwork and do a kind of memoir about your youth and the influence that these games, anime, manga etc. had on you. It would be a terrific read.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

I will do a dedicated episode I think :)

[@ElBribri]

great Video, it makes me want to digg out all my old stuff and see what I have stored there.

[@okchief420]

OMFG Johnny that shirt is unbelievable!

[@okchief420]

you are my Canadian dopolgangger

[@jayreynolds7787]

Please do more of these!

[@pimphandgamester]

I had a couple of Robotech models, was a bit hard for me to put together at the time as they had a ton of pieces and I was below the age range for it but one of the oddball things I had as a kid. I still have my Garbage Pail Kid card collection and a few of the original "Choose your own Adventure" books.

[@huff99]

You're a great artist Johnny

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Thanks! I need to draw again!

[@GangiFilms]

I will give you $50 bucks a month on patreon if you draw those comics !

[@omgiambeto]

Oh Mi buen amigo Johnny, las historias que compartes geniales. Y por eso tu canal es tan especial.

[@rogue9ine]

Jet fire was my favorite transformers toy. Never had one myself but had a friend who did. One of the few TF toys that looked bad ass in both modes. So cool.

[@hitachicordoba]

Loved Ninja High School back in the day as well!

[@FIDreams]

it's so funny, the more I hear about Johnny the more I think we would have been friends back in the day. Being 41 liking star wars, my parents got me into D&D, liking transformers, and the most important doing my own comic book art all the time like Johnny. lol

[@maarekstele2815]

I can't remember if I got JetFire the same year I got Omega Supreme but I do recall getting and setting up Omega Supreme on Christmas Morning I think it was 1985 or 86. I remember watching Thriller on TV during that holiday as well.

[@kaitanz297]

Nostalgia trips are the best.

[@Ed-sy6wd]

Always good videos johnny, blown away by your artwork.. you were really good. More dodgy arcade/childhood stories!! They made me laugh

[@tchitchouan]

I LOVE OLD FUN STUFF

[@slade307]

I had to sell a ton of my stuff so most of what I have is newer - very little from my childhood. I never had the AT-ST, but I had the AT-AT (~$80 at the time). I never got any of the toys from Jedi onward. I think I had that 60s Batmobile or a similar version.

[@jeffdelk9578]

Bone is one of the best comic book stories ever written.

[@GareBearGamingGround]

Lol man I remember the days of sitting in front of the TV with my Power Rangers Voiceman (like the Talk Boy from Home Alone) and recording music from games, tv shows, movies, etc. and ghetto rigging the HELL out of my TV and VCRs so I could record movies I'd rent onto blank tapes..... Your Akira cassette made me think of that for some reason. Man - you have the coolest shit! My mom was a minimalist so we never kept ANYTHING

[@UnderScore1200]

Funny thing is, yesterday I was going through some drawers and stumbled upon my Madox 01 vhs tape,. LOL and of all the tapes in the drawer, that's the one i was concentrating on. always loved that anime =]

[@paperdawn]

I would love to see a video showing off your old mecha art. It looked fantastic! That kind of hard shaded, 80s style design is a lost art I swear!

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

That Akira cassette is so awesome.

[@screwthenet]

DUuuUUUUUDE! Giving the Akira soundtracks to your comrades is the best gift. OST just did not exist for anything beyond movies, and even those were not too prevalent. Good nostalgia vid. ^~^ LONG LIVE NINJA HIGH SCHOOL! I shall be rewatching the dirty pair series soon too. PE@CE

[@schizofrayd]

i had the white macross valkyrie "robot plane" back then...gr8 toy

[@DrWiley-fm3ik]

Johnny, I love these videos!

[@Foxtrop13]

those drawings comic/manga like were really clean

[@robertbarker5802]

I remember being mad at first that Jetfire the toy didn't look like the character in the cartoon but it looked so awesome that I quickly stopped caring.

[@viralreanimation]

Love these videos man!

[@zeldasbiggestfan]

This video made me dig around my room and find some cool old stuff! I can't find MY Batmobile though, sad times :(

[@KeyKiller74]

I liked the comics, have to check out that one series you showed off. BTW your art work looks Awesome 10/10 !!! :)

[@swoll1980]

My brother and I had scout walkers. I forgot they existed. Thanks john!

[@MattKitz]

I had jetfire too. so cool.

[@FinalBaton]

So fucking cool that you did an Akira soundtrack on tape! With artwork and all. Love seeing your artwork

[@SuperHighTechGamer]

Awesome stuff. Really cool.

[@klaudkil]

1988.. i whas 2 years old then.

[@micshork]

Dude! You should totally do a comic. You do (or did) great artwork. I'd defiantly check out "Vampire Unit".

[@Mrmace51]

Your an amazing artist johny.

[@MichelleSiddiq]

I havent seen those Darth Maul figures in forever! i had that but when we moved it disappeared :( i also had Qui-gon-jin and...jar jar binks :D

[@keyransolo]

That's some really awesome stuff!

[@buttontapper7262]

Jetfire is the ultimate 80's robot fanboy toy. It sums up Robotech, Battletech, and Transformers.

[@zachcouch8654]

I am in Korea and job has been postponed. So these videos are helping kill the time.

[@Hustler1856]

Thanks John.

[@Ponaru]

How did you get the tracks for that Akira soundtrack Johnny? Did you just record the music from playing the movie?

[@girbusthewise7688]

Alright John, here's a thumb kiss for Megaforce.

[@jacobprayer8656]

Thanks Johnny!

[@Hubert79]

The toy was called jetfire, the cartoon character was called skyfire. :)

[@BellOfTheBall639]

your a really good artist man. you should do a short comic again so we can see how you do one now.

[@Idunnoyouguessit]

I was cracking up at that "SPT LANZER", you should do another old-school mecha video.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

haha you get it!

[@ApenBaard]

Wow I actually have the macross version of that spitfire toy! It isnt grey though, it has the same colors except inverted. So its more red with white as opposed to white with red :P

[@Kinaldio]

Damn Johnny, you're an extremely gifted artist!

[@arcadeutopia3035]

The Jetfire reissue is amazingly big 👍

[@cab12300751]

I cannot believe you have Megaforce toys! I was just watching a review of it yesterday haha

[@wojiaobill]

It's funny because Johnny is old fun stuff

[@wolfpacsyxx]

My brother is your age ten years older than me I remember Jetfire and that is a hefty well made action figure just a different time takes me back seeing that playing transformers with my brother during the summer.

[@skabcat242]

I still remember when phantom menace came out and everyone thought those toys were gonna be valuable.Now, I often see those at yard sales for 50 cents.

[@fuyingbro]

I have 4 full Rovotech/Skyfire/Jetfire figures. One still pretty white and the other 3 yellowed from age.

[@danyelperao]

You should draw your thumbnails dude! You draws are amazing

[@adamsavestheworld531]

That drawing on the cassette tape is amazing an it's from the year I was born 😀😀 I didn't know you were such a good drawer

[@skeletino420]

Hey Johnny, it would be really interesting to see you redraw one of your favourite drawings from your childhood!

[@ValentinoLimon]

That was awesome johnny! Felt rather nostalgic myself! Did you ever like G.I. Joe at all?

[@Ultisnot]

You're my favorite youtuber! :D

[@RayShadow278]

Holy shit, I also STILL have that old Darth Maul figure!

[@geoffreyhughes1]

Nice art on the Akira soundtrack

[@DragoonLagi]

so awesome, i really wish i had my stuff from when i was younger. :( but i have almost nothing.

[@StefanHomberger]

Same here. Too many moves and life changes over the years.

[@jhl5093]

Love the old art work. Would you be willing to upload any of it?

[@DumbGuysTalkAboutSmartStuff]

Nice art work on that cassette

[@shane3674]

The sad part is, toys today would NEVER last that long.

[@technoir1119]

I had Jetfire. Expensive Transformer!
