Back in the day I was excited for the next X-Files episode. Fast forward decades and now it's the Vlog Files 🕺🕺🕺

[@richardlynch329]

Welcome back to "Last Gamer" I've decided to add a second story on the games room...

[@theone2be33]

Richard Lynch or perhaps going "Underground!"

[@watittakes2264]

LOL

[@theconsolekiller7113]

Your son has some real skill. Good shit. Its great to see that he appreciates the classic games. I have the same issue. Now that I got the emulation PC set up again recently, and the huge backlog of unfinished 360,ps3,ps4,wii u games, etc prior to that, its difficult to focus on one game at a time. Even when new games just come out. There definately isnt enough time to complete everything, so I mostly play the games that stand out the most to me. I often go back to the older games for the challenge and satisfaction. Plus they have a distinct feel and gameplay was king back then. Love all types of games but newer and older games have unique differences over eachother.

[@BASHEM72]

Love your show Joel. I'm a collector as well. Nothing like your collection. But I have got close to 1000 games and counting. Keep the vlog files coming. We will be watching, from Jacksonville, AL

[@LastGamer]

BASHEM72 🙏 thank you

[@usmansm]

I remember playing Ghost n Goblins when I was about 4-5 years old. And it was pure torture! A kid playing such hard games when could barely read what was on screen was tough as nails. Watching Luke playing these games really takes me back, wish I still had my C64. Also a minor suggestion from my side, if its possible it would be nice to have 3 videos a week sometime. It doesn't have to be a regular thing, but since now you are doing Last Gamer full time, would be quite nice to have them thrice a week. Also waiting for the Story mode director's cut version to come out, and then continue with it please, eagerly waiting for that. My suggestion for the section are: 'Fan-boxing' or 'From Fans, with Love. (kind of like James Bond reference there). Keep them coming!

[@LastGamer]

usmansm like the suggestions. Can't do three a week. Need to focus on quality

[@homi7760]

You have the biggest video game collection i have ever seen and you have so much knowledge in gaming not only that you worked your ass off your whole life to get to where you are today you are awesome keep doing what your doing i look forward to the future of last gamer

[@Gaz2023]

Hi Joel not messaged you yet but first of all wanted to say how much I love what you have done and what you do. the videos are looking really crisp thought at one point I was watching 3D as the room stood out so much. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more great videos in the future.

[@slbvideoarchive]

Love these updates! Can't wait to see the completed project!

[@samgittins3522]

The different coloured boxes may well be a small change but I feel like it makes a huge difference, the red looks much nicer than the yellow so I'm glad to hear that you'll be having them colour coded for each section Joel. Look at Luke go! He's clearly really into Ghosts 'N Goblins there which is fantastic to see, good to see a classic game being enjoyed by someone from the younger generation. I feel old after typing that last sentence out, still... all is well, keep up the good work and again it's good to see all these small changes adding up to what will hopefully be an even brighter future for this already amazing channel.

[@streetmagik3105]

Whoa, Luke really is a Skywalker. He was tearing Ghosts N Goblins apart--awesome! It's cool to see someone younger respecting retro games. Your son is a beast. I remember him tearing it up on the Outrun 2 arcade in an earlier episode. Love it!

[@ardormor5945]

great video like always. Hope another tour when everything is finished in the room

[@williamgraham7153]

"What's in your box?" then go fan by fan think would be a cool way to do it. Final fight t-shirt is so awesome.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Great stuff again....Luke is a retro ninja, brilliant.

[@terryttx]

Nice skills Luke, future Pro gamer no doubt! :)) I'm happy to hear about new segment, the Last gamer army will find out a name for sure, at the moment I don't have any idea. Thanks for updates!

[@1punch_man]

Rocking that final fight Shirt. The artwork is phenomenal. Luke's skills continue to impress.

[@scottp.548]

The red boxes look good Joel! Shaping up nicely!

[@ryanpyle9822]

I know he doesn't like being filmed but you should make a video of luke playing all the way through ghost and goblins if he can beat it one day.

[@OmarVale]

You're the coolest dad ever dude. Your son is very lucky.

[@MrSnake9419]

Absolutely admire your son for still checking out the classics before his time, so many kids nowadays miss out on such good games because they're too focused on the new shiny games.

[@azorelow]

Just watched while having breakfast in Germany. I feel very well entertained by your videos. Thank you for that! :)

[@chronicfathead]

Nice Vlog Joel. People love watching you, as you are not showing off, just really excited about old games. We all want to help you create the perfect collection. Keep it up.

[@gwokymarla]

Call it Community Corner and maybe do Q&A inbetween each box.

[@jackpottoys8616]

Such a great vid. Watching you watch Luke playing G&G’s was the best!

[@MrSmilinSniper]

Awesome video as always, an idea for the new segment name "Fan Mail" works on a few levels :)

[@MacPaiin]

Damn, awesome skills Luke! Nice playing.

[@Ekvan_]

hey joel, just wanted to say that your a great entertainer. i was just playing breath of the wild which is an amazing game and i got a notification from my phone saying that your video came out. i have never gotten off that game so fast in my life.

[@LastGamer]

Epic Ethe 🙏 thank you. Awesome game indeed

[@SpraykwoNTheChef]

Another top quality vid Joel. Always look forward to the beginning and end of the week because of Last Gamer. Nice work! You ever thought about gaming with viewers?

[@robh2100]

I can't wait for those shirts to be on sale, it'll be really cool to get one. I think the new what's in the box segment should be called "what's in the box: fan edition". Can't wait to see more of those videos.

[@1punch_man]

The back seat game watching and reactions cracks me up lol. I can totally relate. Edge of your seat stuff.

[@kenmys]

Luke is playing retro games like G&G... Raising him right. Appreciate the classics!

[@ChrisShepard8122]

Better yet I second the "What's in the Fan Box" suggestion.

[@sgtlegacy7]

Great video as always! How about "Fan station" for Whats in the box?

[@M-NX]

nice to see that Luke knows his games..🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@NicHills]

The new segment should be called "what's in the box - fan-mail" - can't wait to see the cool stuff you get sent!!

[@ffkoteji]

Your boy is killin it on G&G!!! As for the gifts from the fans episode, what about "Where in the World?" or "Connecting with Fans" -- Sadly I can't think of anything catchy. Either way, excited to see the room finished, and some more arcade cabinet stuff whenever it comes.

[@jNoxx]

Love the shirt on Luke, haha, awesome. WE NEED MORE.

[@dalealqueso]

The new red paint in the boxes, really looks better than the yellow paint, keep going :)

[@ulvelius]

great show! would love to see more of your Japanese candy cabs!

[@tomar5e115]

Make sure you get a PO Box Joel, gotta keep your museum safe brother

[@ArcadeObsessed]

Call it “Your Mail Room” Joel, Maybe Another great video keep up the great work 😀

[@Jsnow552]

You could always slap a blue sticker on fan boxes and maybe a red sticker on developer/contacts/friends boxes. It might help keep things organised, and you could then name the segment by colour. For example "Blue Box Treasures - Volume 1" or "Red Box Loot - Volume 1" Just an idea :)

[@rudii7]

Luke is a beast! haha I don't know how i finished most of the games i played in my youth. They were all so brutally unforgiving. Another great vid!

[@HelloComics]

Thanks for the update, the room is coming along nicely. Your son sure is becoming a hardcore gamer, probably whoops the ass of anyone his age on these retro games. As for the new section instead of "What's in the Box?" I would just add a word and call it "What's in the Mail Box?"

[@moveit987]

At least the shelves around the wall area would better have double depth.Then there would be more flexibility - e.g. put some related item infront of the games - and it would't reach inside of the room too much.Also it wouldn't have so much the feeling of "don't touch, otherwise it will slip out of the shelf".Additionally, you should compact the shelves within the room more. Then you can easily gain more space for more stuff.But of course ... don't forget to move the room around to a different location when completed ;)!

[@MrBen2177]

Luke got some insane skills. This game is hard as nails and he's owning it. Super inpressive. I like your parenting ;).

[@TheRealKarmaquarius]

love to see your kids love retro and modern gaming, good parenting right there :P

[@LastGamer]

Karmaquarius 👍

[@Dannydogmouth]

Special Guest Luke :) Great stuff guys. Could watch this all day

[@CaptSpeirsB744]

Joel, if you know of someone in a similar setting as yours that has received gifts from fans to what if any negative consequences they went through. I for one had two customers that gave very nice gifts and their expectations later, were way out of line and not really appropriate. Most people have good intentions, it's the few that can ruin your day. Great video as always, thanks.

[@Sedifet]

Luke's got mad skills...7 years old? gtfoh

[@hutchiwan]

love the end credits tune so good

[@bryan87nc]

I would like to see another freeplay friday, and the Wheel of Awesomeness!! I enjoy the randomized pick and plays.

[@TheReasonableGentleman]

great progress!

[@striderreborn1467]

Ohhhh those kinda Glasses. lol I heard there was a Devil May Cry Liquior bottle and shot glasses but I didn't even know eye-glasses were a thing. That's a plus. :)

[@watittakes2264]

I live for this show now Haha, favourite youtuber.

[@jinkings]

im following your facebook now! i cant wait to get my hands on a shirt

[@TheMrDEd]

Your intro music always makes me want to play GAMES!

[@LastGamer]

Mark Edwards that's the idea 👍👍👍👍

[@TheMrDEd]

Did you compose the intro? I feel I recognise it but can't put my finger on where its from??

[@LastGamer]

Mark Edwards its in the credits. Virtua racing :)

[@TheMrDEd]

Ah man thats the one love it!

[@herbieass007]

I would definitely wear a last gamer t shirt!

[@tyrizzo1]

You should call in "Final Fan Mail"

[@matttaylor1107]

I want a Last Gamer shirt

[@mabec]

In neon pink!

[@walterpaez2752]

Great t-shirt!

[@mOike83]

i have to duck when you punch the screen in the intro! WOAAA

[@MrGretzky9966]

Would love the t shirt once they come out in 3x. What's in the box (Fan Edition) sounds good. The play station color will be awesome. I think need for speed will be big. I remember playing need for speed on the SEGA Saturn at my buddies house around late 90s

[@Asmodeus1967]

Hey Joel. Just finished watching your vid. No doubt, GT will definitely be the most sought after driving game. Can't wait. LAST GAMER T'S???!!! Now THAT'S something I'd love to get my hands on. I'll be on the lookout for em. All the best for the week-end, and looking forward to your next vid. Cheers from Montreal, Canada & I wanna play like Luke. WOW... That's what should be on my Last Gamer T. lol

[@Shuey187]

I like the idea of a "What's in the Box: Fan Edition", but I think a better name that would avoid confusion would be "What's in the Box: Supporters Edition". Thanks as always for letting the rest of us into your world Joel - it's always a joy :)

[@LastGamer]

Thank you for the support 👍

[@FlyingWalrus100]

My suggestion for the new segment name: - What's in your Box? - What's in the PO Box? Lol - What's in the Box: Last Gamers Edition - What's in the Box: MLG Edition (Mail for Last Gamer) I don't know if they're good, but I do know I will be getting one of those shirts! Also, painting the PlayStation cabinet/shelf gray is kinda dull compared to the rest (red for Nintendo, green for Xbox, etc.,...), Why not paint it with the colors of the original PlayStation logo? (Yellow, Blue-Green, Blue, Red). Just another suggestion. Love the videos Joel!

[@kenkobra]

Hey I don't know why you don't have a million subscribers but let's get you there. Great job with the channel and kept it up!

[@seagramrip187]

Love that final fight shirt 1 of my all time fav arcade game still remember when i seen it at the arcades hooked straight away didnt go to school lol

[@spatss]

Appreciate the Moon over The Castle in the background. :)

[@LastGamer]

spatss 🤘

[@TheUpliftingGuy]

The legendary Gran Turismo. The grandfather of all motorsport racing games. When Gran Turismo 1, 2, 3 and 4 were around, were was Forza and Project Cars? Exactly!

[@ChrisShepard8122]

The new segment should be called "What's in the Mailbox" simple and clean. Falls right is next to your other segment title. :)

[@bunsenb]

looks awesome! that red color scheme on the boxes really does make it pop, excited about the new segment my box shouldn't be far away. I Like the idea of t shirts, personally the racing game I'm looking forward to if Forza 7 I've always been a big fan of Forza my favourite one of the series being Forza 4 so many great cars and tracks to pick from and great multiplayer on that game if its anything like that I'm sold. Horizon 3 was awesome too especially running at ultra on the PC with the 21:9 ratio support, racing games on an ultrawide screen is excellent

[@DaveImagamegeek]

Looking great Joel

[@Truthfulnerd]

As a fan, we should be called, ‘Backseat Gamers’

[@M-NX]

CONGRATS TO 🤘🤘 35 K 🤘🤘

[@eastnewyorka22]

Love the eyewear!

[@NerdyLaundry]

Great job as always Joel. Awesome to see Luke enjoying some real classics. Would you say he plays classic games more often than modern? You guys get in on so couch co-op together? They need to bring that type of gameplay back.

[@juliancuevas985]

Defenetly getting a shirt once they are available. 😎

[@M-NX]

I just noticed the little Last Gamer Logo on the lower right side..👍👍👍👍

[@imusingsocialistmedia3014]

Like your t-shirt.

[@vwgolfer1873]

Got lucky and was able to get SNES Classic Mini! Cant wait to play some throw back SNES soon

[@Shuey187]

The music during the credits had a moment where it sounded very Deep Purplish!

[@danielvining]

Name idea: "What's in the Box?: Fandemonium!"

[@TheHeyess]

Another great show

[@ShinobiShowdown]

The main thing I am jealous of is the tshirt Joel has not the millions of dollars of games systems and merch.

[@leebodkin8358]

Room looks great with the painted boxes, any update on the construction on the arcade room ?

[@thatbastardson]

you must have used some serious drywall anchors to hang those wood boxes on the wall. they look heavy. makes me nervous lol. maybe do a cabinet for fan stuff?

[@LastGamer]

LuvTheSnapper lol. They are screwed into timber studs

[@WMARUoriginal]

Joel - Any chance you will be upgrading to 4K video soon? I’m sure folks would LOVE to see all the items you get in boxes and especially the game rooms in glorious 4K. Thanks!

[@LastGamer]

Wataru Maruyama yes. Looking into it

[@carlosb8130]

Great Collection, btw are you planning to have a VR gaming spot in your gaming room?

[@LastGamer]

Carlos Bello maybe. Not sure

[@Beaps73]

'Welcome to the Fan Zone......get ready'

[@LastGamer]

Beaps73 👍👍👍

[@jc-ol9mb]

t-shirts, music to my ears

[@redsyrup1138]

Your son's an Ace! Taking on classics like Makaimura!? I'd be super proud. It's got to be the hardest but most worthwhile game I've ever played. It's sequels equally superb. Daimakaimura, Choumakaimura and Goku (PSP). Who can name a favorite? I still think the X68000 has the best midi score for Daimakaimura. It almost sounds like a Danny Elfman score for a Tim Burton film. IMO 'Demon World Village' sounds so much cooler than Ghosts 'n Goblins.

[@LastGamer]

Redsyrup good points

[@mackstertube]

It is so funny you say about our first world problem of having so many great games come out and not being able to finish them. It is my biggest thing with gaming and is the only thing that gives me a type of anxiety, although it is a good type of anxiety I guess. But you feel like you are either wasting money or not doing the devs justice. Plus then you go back and play them sometimes and you have to relearn controls but you are at the hardest part of game floundering a bit like a beginner. Also I have had to learn, although failing at it, not to worry about trophies as I waste time on that when I probably could have finished game but then go onto something new. This time of year all the great titles come out too. I think I an trying to only buy what I really want but that is still like 8-10 titles before mid November and there my bare necessities. Then this year COD WWII looks good January I am getting collector's edition Nino Kuni 2. Revenant Kingdom. Basically I will have to try and finish each game before the other comes out. But then I have the problem of being hooked on destiny 2 plus I always want to get Fifa. But Destiny 2 and Fifa demand so much time plus the driving games. I mean you can probably just buy Fifa, Destiny 2 and just play them for a year by themselves out even add in a driving game. But then what about the usual 20-50 games that come out that feel like a must play. It is the biggest problem on gaming today and with all the fantastic titles this year. I think one of the best years for a while. How do you deal with these modern title problems Joel. I mean you have another 22,000+ games on to of that? Doo you only buy a few modern titled or are you buying like 50 to 70 like some of us tragics. I mean I am buying titles for ps4, vita, Xbox one s, pc, new 3ds xl, nintendo, and even occasionally my phone since they are actually porting real gaming titles now like some final fantasy, some tell tale games, those wuite fun hit man games, Lara croft one, Terraria and other indie titles. I would like to know if this is your biggest stress since you have worse than all of us probably. At least you have your son to play them as well so you are getting great value out of games you buy. Would love to know how you decide on modern titles or of you just play a few then wait for others you want to play but wait for them to go on sale since it doesn't take long these days and they are cheap. I mean I saw Titanfall 2 for $25 yesterday and that's not even a year.

[@craigpilkington4323]

Does anyone know what Joel actually does (or did) for a living... this guy must TRULY be ultra rich? I've watched a lot of other 'game room' type videos and those guys have collections most of us could only dream of. This, however, takes it to a completely new level - this is almost museum game collecting for total system preservation.... absolutely astonishing collection!!!!

[@FireFlux73]

I think the should make a remake of the first Need for Speed with amazing graphics, but maybe with a few new tracks and cars and call it Need For Speed : Back to Basics ;) Always great video's and I always watch all your content. Thumbs Up!!

[@Levi-ji2vn]

Your game room is like the library of Congress but for video games it's so cool.

[@LastGamer]

Levi 🙏

[@aidan7933]

Hi Joel, amazing collection and love your videos. Just one question, where do you buy your games and gaming memorabilia from? You must know the best ways after amassing such a collection. It’s also great to see that such a massive and amazing collection is situated in Australia as well. G’day from Sydney and keep up the great work!

[@kungfumonkey144]

You should made a discord chat for everyone on this community to chat with each other and yourself. That would be fun

[@dallasbrooks151]

What's in the box? Care Package Edition!

[@HakeshuxNathan]

Great video. Any information about when you'll start the vlogs teaching people to buy cheap games?

[@LastGamer]

Hakeshu in process

[@JohnJones-pn2vx]

The red looks much better agreed Joel
