More acquisitions for the midlife crisis…

I procrastinated a little bit here and finally got off my butt. March & April 2024 Pickups and an awesome gift from another awesome KZbin friend. Be sure to put this one on 2x speed and give me the entire 23 minutes of watch time! KZbin hates my channel and ones like mine so by doing this you will be giving the finger to the corporate A**holes that profit from our videos but don't do any of the work. Just joking...But seriously though I am just here to share the gaming/collecting hobby with the community. Thrift shops, Flea Markets, Pawn shops, junk shops, retail and anywhere else I see something of interest.
Be sure to check out ‪@samanthaazira‬ Sam has a fantastic channel that does a variety of different things in the gaming scene. She has been kicking butt with her content lately. Please check her out if you haven't already.
Being completely honest with you here...this Double IPA doesn't smell or taste like any IPA I have ever had. Its not bitter like a West Coast or juicy like a New England style. Doesn't have a strong floral or citrus smell either. It's kinda it's own thing. Check them out if your ever in Philly! 🍻
King Juice Double IPA 8.5% ABV
Dock Street Brewing Co. Philadelphia, PA

So I’ve been sober since 7/28/19 and even though half of your channel literally is something I don’t actively look to hear about (lol), you are so interested in everything you talk about it makes it very entertaining to watch. I’ve struggled with what to really make my channel, you are inspiring and should remember that some of us watch and really just enjoy hearing what you have to say. Thanks for the videos. Stay safe and well. Also, that link upside down holding a chicken was hilarious bc I couldn’t make it out either. 😂

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Congratulations on the sobriety. I have a close friend that struggled for awhile with it and he has been doing well now for the past year. It’s a tough road I know. I really appreciate you watching and the kind words and comments you leave. I would say make your channel what you like it to be. I have had times where I have considered stopping and sometimes it’s hard to get inspiration but I think the community is really what makes KZbin special for little channels like ours. It’s certainly why I keep putting the time in. 🤙🏻

[@stevecraigretrogames]

Great trade with Sam and she threw in some cool extras! A strategy guide for a dollar is a steal. Glad you were able to find a few games thrifting. Beyond Good and Evil is one I would like to get. That Jack Link mug is freaking awesome!! 😎 Dude, you made out big time on the lot purchase. Some solid titles and even sealed! Very neat pickups brother! Hope you have a great weekend!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Sam is awesome! (We all knew that though…😂) A dollar doesn’t go very far anymore so anytime I can find a decent guide or game for that I am buying. The spaghetti Xbox hasn’t went crazy in prices like the 360!so I am still hunting a few things and Beyond Good and Evil was one I had been wanting: the Jack Link mug was stupid cool! I had to have it. 😂 And yeah man…I would do that Wii deal all day every day. No real bangers but free games are always the right price. 🍻

[@DadRacer]

Nice stuff, Josh and congrats on the milestone! That copy of Rampage always looks so cool.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks Mark. I never honestly thought that many people would ever be subbed to the channel especially sonce I really should put a little more effort into this. 🤣 So it’s kinda cool. Rampage is forever a nostalgic franchise for me so I love it too. 🤙🏻

[@samanthaazira]

Everyone has those games lol pass em on! Glad you enjoyed the box it was a lot of fun making a box and would love to do it again sometime ❤ I wanted to have a taste of Oregon, Flordia, and somewhere far far away.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I absolutely loved the box! Thank you so much for sending it my way. I have my chicken Link on the wall right above my desk and the ornament will be on the tree this year for sure. The beer though will not be lasting much longer. 🤣 Thanks Sam. 🍻🤙🏻

[@youreallyplaythat]

Looks like a well arranged basement. Love the shelves...and now I will finish watching

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks dude. A gameroom is like an unending project but it’s fun to put together and to keep tweaking as you go. 🍻

[@RetroRivals]

So nice of Sam to send you that big box of stuff. I think my favorite thing in was the Nintendo controller ornament and the peeler art. I'm sure Sam probably made it. I have one she made as well and it's something I very much cherish 😊 We LOVE collecting for the PS1 as well. It's probably Scott's favorite system. Now that he's been completely converted into an RPG guy he's always on the lookout. That Jack Links mug is awesome. I wonder how much beer it holds 🤔 Always great when you can pick up a lot and get your money back and keep what you want. Can't believe those Wii games were still sealed! I've been interested in Biomutant as well. I tend to lean towards action RPG over turn based. No Walmart clearance games for us 😢 We checked but Canada clearly wasn't participating. Congrats on adding more N64 to the collection and never apologize about playing your games. That's the best part.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

It was awesome of Sam to send this care package my way. I felt so foolish though about not knowing what the perler art was at first. 😂 It’s super cool though and it’s on the wall right at my desk so I can admire it and laugh at myself. The PS1 has hands down the best RPG library. It’s a lot of fun for me to discover games on the system because I didn’t have one back then. I could probably get at least 3 pints of beer in the Jack Links mug. 🍻😂

[@RetroEdUK]

Love that Mario Hat! Haha, the Link with Chicken bead art is awesome mate 😄. Have a super weekend Josh 😊🍺

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Hey Ed! Hope you have been doing well my friend. It was a super busy and fast (as always) weekend but lots of fun. Heck even Monday wasn’t bad. 🤣 For the life of me when I was recording this I couldn’t figure out it was Link…like a magic eye puzzle and my brain wasn’t comprehending. It now has an honored place at the Gameroom desk. 🍻🤙🏻

[@BuzzsawGaming]

The Mario hat fits you man! Haha 🦎🦎🦎

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I h]guess now I have to get the rest of the costume…🤣

[@GenerationPixel]

Don't worry, I had no idea it was Link with a chicken while it was upside down either 😂 I enjoyed Andromeda, but it was the first Mass Effect I played. Life gets busy, or you could be like me and break your elbow. Luky Like, nice. And I'm glad you're looking at PlayStation now, so many fantastic games 👍 I had no idea there was a Impossible Mission on the Wii! It was a 8bit Microcomputer classic 😎 Nice steelbook, I've never seen that variant before! Great pickups and a great package from Sam 😎👍

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I felt pretty stupid because even though I cut it from the video there was a solid minute that for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what the perler art was. 😂 It’s a great piece once I figure it out. Has a place of honor at the gameroom desk. A lot of lucky finds and a nice gift from a coworker have really turned me on to the original PlayStation a lot over the past couple years. Such a huge library and some amazing games. It’s fun collecting and discovering what it has to offer. Hope you are doing well and on the mend my friend. 🍻

[@Real_Sgt_Tom]

That should be your new "unboxing hat" lol. Love the shirt btw. This is such a great community and it keeps showing.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

The shirt was an awesome grab from my local comic shop. Had to have it! Someone else said the hat/shirt combo was a crime against geekdom…I say let your freak flag fly! 🤣 This community is awesome! And you are right it pops up everywhere. Spread the positivity! 🍻🤙🏻

[@NerdLife84]

Very awesome pickups! Love the Mario hat lol. The sonic figures are really cool. And some cool n64 games as well. Never played deadly arts if it's a fighting game you know I gotta give it a try. Penny racers is a fun little game. In my opinion some of the best racing games were on the n64. I'll have to go check out Samantha's channel now

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks brother! The Mario hat looked amazing here with my Ghost Rider t-shirt. 😂 Looks like you found another fighting game for the N64 to try out I guess. As a fan of the genre that pretty cool. 🤙🏻 The N64 really was a racing machine. Tons of games and most of them are pretty good. Sam is fantastic! Thanks for jumping over and checking her out. 🍻

[@8232Bittzz]

Dude you're knocking on 1K's Door! So awesome to see. Great pickups overall. I hear you with living life. I keep trying to motivate myself to make some more videos but everytime I have time, I'm usually tired and not movitvated to do it and so I catch up on the backlog of everyone else's videos 🤣. Rogue was my least favorite Oregon Brewery, though I did like that at their tasting room in Newport a while back they started doing some spirits. They had a slow gin fizz that was delicious. it says a lot since I've never been a spirits guy. My local Gamestop has been good with 360,PS3,Wii and WiiU as far as selection. Hope you're having a great weekend. Cheers🍻🍻!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Inching a little closer now. It’s only been 4 years though. 🤣 I never did any of this to be KZbin famous though. You were one of my first commenters and subs is still very cool that we became friends and your still here watching and commenting. To be honest over the past six months or so I have struggled to find motivation with making content. Lots of things I want to do videos on but lately I just want to play more games and spend time with the family. I can’t say anything either way about Rogue yet. I have had a few beers from them and I had a Nitro Milk Stout from them that was amazing. I am looking forward to checking this IPA out though…probably this weekend. 😂🍻 GameStop has actually been a little more of a go to for me the past few months. Most of my local thrifts stopped selling games in the stores because a-holes were stealing them and with the deals from GameStop the pricing is about as cheap as a thrift. I found a serious banger for PS3 just last week for a good price. 🍻Cheers brother! I dig the name change…although I was pretty partial to the original. 🤙🏻

[@MockingjayYT]

Great looking beers! And Jeopardy and Monopoly are always fun!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Stoked to try out all the flavors that Sam sent me along. 🍻 You know…someone must play Jeopardy and Monopoly on all these systems. They keep making the games. 🤣

[@pappabeargaming]

Mario hat is 🔥, fits the Ghost Rider theme in a way. Too much beer, no such thing! Why was Link throwing a chicken anyway maybe he had too much beer! 🤣 Listen man, Eye and Guy is like the same thing, I wouldn't worry about it. Sam is doing a great job I recently found her myself on the KZbin Sphere. Sealed Wii Games are a great find. Great FarCry Metal case. N64 is a good racing console. Cheers Brother 🍻

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

It almost feels like this comment was written while drinking beer…It’s too early in the day or week to make me thirsty like this…oh who’s kidding. It’s never to early. 😂🍻 Sam is an absolutely awesome person and she really sent a box of goodies my way here. Glad you are a fan of hers as well. 🤙🏻 I really spent more time than I should have trying to see Link & the Chicken. It was like a magic eye and now that I see it. 👌 Cheers dude! 🍻

[@2-facedsolo119]

Nice pickups bro!! Im glad you have been putting family first! and livin life. I love that steelbook! i usually snag them at gamestop when i see them because gamestop just charges the regular price of the game.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks buddy! Gotta find the balance and lately I have been happy to just play some games and spend time with the family for sure. GameStop has been a little more go to for me over the last few months honestly. They usually have some alright PS3, 360, Wii & WiiU mixed in and the sales lately have made them as cheap as thrift store. Plus the thrift has been bone dry. 🤷‍♂️ Hope you and the family have been doing good. 🍻🤙🏻

[@MortsGarage]

I absolutely love the title of this video hahaha

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

It’s funny because it true. 🤣

[@mtshark7]

Awesome pickups Josh!😊

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks dude! Hope your weekend was great and the work week started off good buddy. Holiday weekend coming up!! 🍻🤙🏻

[@arioca]

Great pickups. You might wanna keep Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for the Wii because it's the only version that came with the classic point-and-click game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis included as a bonus.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Oh nice! That’s something that I did not know about the Indy game. I will definitely hold onto it then. It’s a nice clean copy and the lot was such a good deal. 🍻 Thanks for checking out the video. 🤙🏻

[@azuretony]

That hat coupled with that shirt is a crime against geekdom.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Let your freak flag fly is what I always say! 🤣🤣

[@azuretony]

@@DrinkGameswithJosh So many possible responses to that lol

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

@@azuretony 🤣😂🤣

[@coopleofnerds]

Sam hooked you up! I understand getting behind. I feel like I am behind all the time. Luck Luke looks pretty cool. I love some Rampage, didn't know it was on the SMS. Can the Jack Links cup hold liquid? That would be awesome. How do you like selling on EBAY? I have thought about it but never pulled the trigger. Nice pickups

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks dude. Sam really did a nice job…and you know I am a sucker for a mystery box too! Some really good stuff in there and a variety of beer too! I was stoked to find a nice clean copy of Rampage for the SMS. The Jack Link holder actually could hold liquid. 🍻 Selling on eBay has been ok for me so far. I have done it off and on over the years. You really have to know that if you sell something that eBay is taking 15% and then you have shipping and handling so it’s all factors in how much you make.

[@davidb69]

Impossible mission is definitely the winner , I loved it on my c64 that they updated and I didn’t know about but definitely sunk plenty of hours on the original. Also love snk classics on the wii, I have the ps2 version and it’s awesome so I definitely love that. Cool trade with Sam, she’s very cool. Wow, legends of Wrestlemania, the fact that you got it complete is a bonus. Love the watch dog series, I finished those titles and are definitely worth the time to play.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

I had never played Impossible Mission before but you were not the only one who commented about it. The SNK classics was the one I wanted immediate I saw the lot of games. I don’t collect a lot for the Wii but definitely will take a look at different games like this. Sam really is very cool! I have been finding some decent PS3, 360, Wii and Wii U games over the past 6 months or so at GameStop. Almost surprising and I was stoked to find Legends of Wrestlemania. 🤙🏻

[@retroprojections]

Oh man, I'm going to have to go looking for some Dead Guy IPA now! 😋 Brother, it's not procrastination, and you are not being "lazy." The way you put together pickups vids, and have them flow together nice and casual, is quite a lot of work. And you do a fantastic job! Cheers!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks brother! I feel like it’s been harder for me to find inspiration to make continent the last few months. I love our community here on KZbin and Discord. Getting to share the hobby with other people is what makes it fun. Making content is a constant juggling act with everything else in life so…🤷‍♂️ I do appreciate you checking this out…it is a pickup video after all. 🤣

[@retroprojections]

@@DrinkGameswithJosh I may not LOVE pick-ups vids, but I've got love for you buddy! Also, you really do a good job.. and you're fun. 😃🍻

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

@@retroprojections thanks my friend! I f I ever get off my butt I have some other content other thank pickups to put together soon. 🤣

[@Owazrim]

OG Mass Effect is my facorite as well. 3 had great online play through. Rampage SMS is great. An extra character and nice colors. Grab someone and play co-op. Ghost Squad is a really fun light gun multiplayer shooter.

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

That’s awesome to hear about co-op for Rampage. I will see if one of the kids might wanna give it a go with me. Was happy to come across a nice copy of it. Ghost Squad is awesome! A few years back I would have called it a hidden gem but I think more and more folks are coming around to it now. Hope you and the family are doing well buddy! 🍻🤙🏻

[@retroimportgamer513]

Some great gifts and a nice trade Really cool bundle you got from work, bonus some were sealed Counter Force is really pricey over here as really rare. For me, Ghost Squad is the best game on the Wii Great to add a few more N64 All the best dude👍

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks dude! 🤙🏻 I was surprised by the Wii bundle. Crazy part was that most of them were sealed and I didn’t know it. I agree about Ghost Squad, it’s a great game and a little underrated in my opinion. That’s interesting about Counter Force. Not a lot of demand here for a copy, these two sealed ones have been for sale for awhile now. 🤣 Always good to add more for my N64 set. Cheers to the weekend my friend! 🍻

[@mystacles]

My dude great unboxing/pick ups vid I love trading with fellow creators always a good time and you definitely added some great titles there!!

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Thanks dude! Trading is the best way to add games to your collection in my opinion. Doesn’t cost you anything other than what you already had. 🤷‍♂️ So much fun getting to share the hobby with everyone else too. 🍻🤙🏻

[@awesomeaustinmathews1258]

I have 2k17 on ps3 just don't have the case anymore

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

Gotta love some Wrasslin’ …I love collecting for the PS3! Check out your closest GameStop for games like that. Mine has lots of PS3, 360, Wii & WiiU most of the time.
