MY GAME ROOM TOUR 2015 - Happy Console Gamer

[@thecoastalinhabitant9552]

I have a lot of respect for this great collection. You can tell these are the games that made the gamer John is today. Unlike collector's that go for completion and chase after uncommon title's, this is just his personal collection that he's grown over the years. Thank you Johnny for this video it was awesome!

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Danyo89' Chillinhard thank you!!:D

[@sammylane21]

+HappyConsoleGamer My good sir!You have my ideal game collection,seriously you have at least 90% of all the games I have wanted and still do.

[@UltraDTA]

It's amazing how many people equate a huge collection to a quality collection. As a former "collector" I would bet money that most people who collect games for the sake of it haven't finished a fourth of what they own. People here talking about being disappointed because this room wasn't filled floor to ceiling all the way around with games just don't get it. Also, I'm GLAD this collection isn't in some arbitrary order. Everybody does that, it's boring. It's like looking around a library. I sold off several hundred games to have a room more like Johnny's. I quit worrying about how much I had and how it looked on the shelf, and I just started buying and playing games that I loved. Quality > quantity. End of story.

[@TheCompletionist]

I'm actually lucky enough to actually step foot in this room and see it for myself. Even though you may poke fun about how disorganized some of the things are, but I think the more important thing is that every item in this room is something you have an emotional attachment to and it really shows because too many video game collectors own things that they'll never play or appreciate but looking at all the stuff in that room are things you have played and enjoyed and have given you a memory you'll always treasure. I also noticed the copy of the world ends with you on your shelf that I sent you. Don't know if you had a chance to play it, but hopefully you'll enjoy it when you do play it.

[@madfinntech]

The fact you are sitting on the floor when filming really surprised me!

[@GameEscape]

Loved this video. It is nice to see a game room that is frequently used and personally meaningful. It is way more authentic than some of those pristine, museum-like rooms that are more monuments to disposable income than they are to a love of gaming. That snake pit of controllers is hysterical. I had the same issue, but then I decided use those giant ziploc bags to sort them by system. Really solved the problem and I can still locate the controllers and start playing pretty quickly.

[@vcfreek]

Dear Johnny, two things I seriously adore about your fantastic gaming room: 1. you can clearly see it's YOUR room, with the games that YOU love. Not just some random games bought to complete a collection. 2. it's a GAMING room! It's obvious you play games there all the time and as good as everything is still being played. You have no system to collect the games, it's just chaos and I love that. If you're in the mood to play a game from your youth, just pick one out. This is my idea of a gaming room! Thanks for the video John!

[@deenphoenix]

Love this video! I like the way its just YOUR organisation, there's no clean, pretentious show off order. A lot of game room tours that I've seen look all the same and generic. its likely that most don't even play their games! You can tell there's a lot of passion and genuine memories by looking and listening to this video.

[@Neopulse00]

You're right. I enjoy the way he has it organized more.

[@TriforceRich]

I personally organize my collection by company, console, and alphabetical order but that's me. I also have a few areas for specific series. The room tour kind of takes the magic out of the room. I always had this impression of a massive game room. I guess the lighting and camera angles really do wonders. You have some fantastic gems in your collection. It's honestly a collection of games you love or have memories of, not simply filler to stuff your collection. This game room is for you and it represents you. That's the impression I got.

[@xxxxkanexx5761]

its a miracle that that old shelf of yours is still standing under all that gaming goodness you have packed into every nook and cranny of it!

[@filosofia0098]

Never in a million years i would have thought you guys were sitting. Fascinating!

[@airn09]

Short table.. Small room. Mind Blown.

[@xsilentbulletsx]

everything you have screams one thing more than anyone else i know of on youtube. it screams i love and play video games. we see so many perfectly organized collections in alphabetical order and everyone always talks about rarity and how they got such steal on everything. i always appreciate genuineness over anything else

[@trevormorgan9084]

Love your collection, Johnny! Been watching the show for many years so it's a pleasure finally being able to see what you've got going on there! :) Thank You for sharing it with us!

[@indeimaus]

Did not expect your room to look like this!

[@nepatriots77]

Wow, all this time, I thought you guys sat on chairs...

[@empire0]

Pete Dorr is like "shit, I got more games in my bathroom, son"

[@SuperVegeta25Returns]

empire lmao!

[@Shrek_Holmes]

empire you gotta love people on the internet who uptalk other youtubers. pathetic. have some self esteem

[@jokatech]

empire from what I've seen, Johnny's collection is higher quality. Pete has a bunch of games that are DNB's

[@Shrek_Holmes]

***** i don't like fanboyism.and making fun of someone else because someone else is "better" at something. kissing ass basically.

[@empire0]

Sergio Fernandes You replied twice to the same comment,..and my original comment wasn't even hostile enough to deserve the nonsensical replies you came up with. Also, a "veterinary" isn't a career. Learn to spell JANITOR, because that's about all you'll be qualified for.

[@supermahmoud]

Nostalgia is big thing indeed Johnny ! My shelves looks a bit like yours, some games are mixed up A good sweet collection is a collection that you build up slowly and you love ! Thanks for sharing this with us ;)

[@tmirksy947]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I watched the whole thing, and couldn't help but feel like I've been there before. I guess a lot of game rooms have that certain familiar aura about them. Anyway, you rock, Johnny.

[@GareBearGamingGround]

You know - I was just getting ready to hound you about making a game room tour and lo and behold lol! Man there were many surprises in here for me. I think the biggest surprise was the fact that you sit on the floor - I had no idea! I thought you had a big ass viking wooden table that you sit at every time. Excellent collection man. Certainly quality over quantity with you and I dig the hell out of that. That is exactly what I am going for with my collection these days. I have been downsizing BIG time

[@TheJonnyKage]

Based on the lighting I had always assumed this was in a basement not just a room in your place, lots of awesome stuff, thanks for sharing Johnny!

[@Kooltrex]

Been waiting for this video from you for years awesome to see all the cool stuff you have!

[@davidhershberger7899]

Excellent video. I was wondering how large that room is. Thanks for the glimpse into your Room of Doom!!

[@iamthewalrus1983]

I love this game room. Everything in there has a story. Everything means something to him. I feel I could take any game in there and have fun. thanks for the tour :)

[@shinny_grimmy]

l always love seeing your stuff, Johnny. It's a great collection you have there, and it's great to see how organic of a collection it is. I so want a room like that, when I have my own place. Plus, it really is smaller than it looks. Thanks for showing us that, Johnny :)

[@lozgamer-ld2um]

thanks for making this channel its awsome to see the friendship between you and rob your in my opinion the best channel on KZbin keep up the great work thanks

[@vaporfreedom]

Been subscribed for like a year now I think. Thanks for all the great shows!

[@drew8235]

Thank you for the video. For some reason I got this huge rush of nostalgia from watching it.

[@thejemgirlchannel1585]

LOVED the game room tour :) So much nostalgia, fun games and systems. Thanks for sharing such a great video of your collection! I'll be watching this again :)

[@SuperHighTechGamer]

Loved the tour! Cool to see your collection in depth and a look behind the scenes:)

[@Faxanadu_]

Take a shot every time Johnny says 'so'.

[@Negima48]

Chaotic Arrow or every time he says "I love this game"

[@AcousticMaster104]

Back in the day

[@jokatech]

Chaotic Arrow The more I think about this, the more I laugh. If you tried this, you might die of alcohol poisoning and laughter simultaneously.

[@RazorfaceYT]

Great collection man! Been a fan of your show for awhile and it's cool to finally see the game room collection.

[@OH.A.M.]

I'm going to follow your channel till I'm old Johnny. Hopefully you never stop making this videos, and will love to see you grow old. By the way, I'm also 40 years of age.

[@lemaitrethemonk]

I agree with the purchase of strategy guides. I picked up "The Witcher 3" and the guide as well. I like having the strategy guide as a back up, in case I get stuck. I wish I would have started collecting strategy guides when I was younger. Similar to you HappyConsoleGamer, I am 39 and started gaming before the internet. We grew up and were able to watch the gaming industry evolve and become what it is today, for better or worse. Thanks for doing the video! Cheers from Texas!

[@lemaitrethemonk]

Sorry to hear.

[@zeushighscore]

Not at all how I expected your room to look, but I love that you've been sitting behind that tiny table all this time!

[@Ruko]

A lot of classics in there, most of those i've seen you show trought the years on your videos.

[@richardhalsted1984]

That SF II 19" cabinet is the definition of my early nineties arcade experience.

[@nwawallace]

Your comments at 21:35 on RESI 2 are summoning the almighty AlphaOmegaSin I can feel his power rising.

[@1SWINZ1]

OK, so I'm at the start of the video right now and something just broke my brain... You guys have been sitting on the floor all of that time? Wow, I really thought that you had a couple chairs behind there...

[@IrieIslandGaming]

18:14 - I am really envious of that .Hack collection! Awesome!

[@Neffets]

Just finished watching.. Oh my God, Johnny! My OCD was blazing for 30 minutes. I just wanted to portal through the screen, into your game room, and start organize everything LOL :D Great video, man. Really surprised the room wasn't bigger. Definitely doesn't seem that way in your videos!

[@michaelgeorgiou4730]

Yes finally you made a room tour. Now all that remains is a new AlphaOmegaSin tour, a complete Game Chasers, a Lord Karnage, an AVGN and Pat the Nes Punk shorter tour.

[@TipsterLIVE]

The room definitely looks a lot smaller than it seems in the videos. Still, its a very awesome setup.

[@3LinkTriforce]

Thank you for making me excited about games in general and my small game collection again :)

[@Neopulse00]

Also glad you mentioned Tobal No. 1. That game was very hard :-S and Wild Arms game is awesome!!!! Recommend it for any RPG lover. The game art is amazing when you finish it.

[@JulesRoyal]

I've wanted to see this for the longest time. I always thought that you guys sat on chairs lol.

[@TheSILV1982]

nice man, i've seen things i got to own for myself now, like the final fantasy tactics guide for example great game room, keep on collecting things you like and happy console gaming

[@LucifersKall]

This place needs a major clean up. So much quality stuff, but damn is it ever messy.

[@RetroGamePlayers]

Nice Fatal Fury hat man, I've got of those as well. Once I was wearing it at Target and as I was riding the escalator up a guy was coming down the other way who was also wearing the same hat...what a moment that was. We almost broke into a full out brawl right then and there!!

[@danielpatrick3268]

great collection! That organization drives me nutz

[@y2jxRKO]

"it not I that I officially need it but I officially wanted " my new life motto

[@viivsyn4893]

sweet a commodore monitor, i used to use one of those to play ps1 games back in my teens, thats pretty awesome

[@viivsyn4893]

+Viiv SYN forgot to say, it was a wicked monitor for that sorta thing :P

[@helloruan]

You were sitting the entire time.....mind = blown

[@Riz2336]

My favorite thing is the Street Fighter II arcade cabinet. I remember back when I would see those in 7-11.

[@jasonbrown467]

glad i found your channel a while back!!

[@kidkytes6233]

This is such a great collection, as a big Phantasy Star fan I love seeing them. But all the classics it's so cool. Oh my god though! Alisia Dragoon! Such a fantastic game, a true hidden gem! So happy you mentioned it Johnny. I would love for you to do a review about it, more people need to know about this wonderful game. Great graphics, superb gameplay, the music is so beautiful it deserves a mention. I listen to it a lot. But Alisia Dragoon is hard! It throws everything including the kitchen sink at you. The only way to really progress is to know where the hidden upgrades are in order to make her more powerful and her monster stronger. Great bosses to, you really have to know your strategies against them.

[@ethanknight1031]

"I was playing these games back before I could talk to anybody."-Johnny. Hahahahahaha that's pretty sad.

[@souperman72]

R.I.P Future shop

[@GameFreak4Ever]

Love the room tour! Easily one of my favorite KZbinrs!!!

[@Rocky32189]

Awesome video! My OCD tendencies are kicking in and I really want to organize your collection!

[@jacobdaly9776]

Your gaming room has so much character, by the way John could you make a video on your opinion of the Witcher series if you've ever played them. keep up the great content I love your channel

[@tri0xin]

funny.. just watched your video of your old room from your old 90's apartment with the 36" Sony wega crt.. I had the same one.. then I saw this video where it shows the Sony flatscreen you watch when doing the videos.. I also had that one too, it was a Sony 40 or 46" XBR I believe I got in probably 2006 or 2007 I think.. paid like $2500 for it. The older videos are pretty cool to watch!

[@matthewcox1585]

The Trooper ale was made in Stockport, England (near Manchester). My mum worked there in the 1950s.

[@MsDasdads]

"Yes, we sit on the floor". Mind = Blown

[@Rockjesu]

Thanks Johnny for made us feel like we were in your home :)

[@TheRetrollectors]

The word you were looking for to describe your game room is Fortress of Solitude. That's what I call mine. It's a place you can get away and forget your troubles. HappyConsoleGamer

[@djeclipse1977]

Might & Magic Gates to Another world was one of my favorite RPG's. As a kid I was constantly searching for the SNES version that I saw in an EGM magazine. Its not until later in life did I realize it was only released in Europe for SNES. I don't have my Genesis version anymore either I really need another complete copy of it.

[@darrellanthonyalvarez4154]

Hi Happy Console Gamer, I have recently subscribed to your channel and it was great, i watched a lot of your videos, your comments, suggestions, reviews and collection were awesome, I am looking forward every week for your videos. Thanks so much and much respect from the Philippines. Thank You Again.. PS: Best Room EVER!

[@SuperSaturn55]

Johnny awesome gameroom bud always love the show and nice to see the other side :-)

[@RoyAuckloo]

very cool, and very nostalgic to see all these games and console

[@Neopulse00]

In case anyone wondered the lighting, they're "Alien Bees B800" You reminded to get a few strategy guides. i had no idea Xenogears had one. Need to get that one and Final Fantasy Tactics to help me. And funny how you had 2 copies of Alisia Dragoon. And also "Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch?" Had no idea that existed.

[@mikahl757]

Craziest takeaways; • You payed MSRP for majority and did not sell over the years out of need. • Size of room • Sit Down Setup Quality > Quantity for sure here, love all the Rpgs and Fighting Games and shooters

[@ambycakes]

Street Fighter 2 machine is literally my childhood! Wow! So awesome! 😊

[@loco_Fox]

Sweet games room tour man! Loving the Actraiser! I would love to see you review it or blade runner on the pc that really was a classic

[@ThomasakaDes]

4:08 I have that Alduin statue too :D It's still in the box though, got nowhere to put it atm :| Got a Nathan Drake figurine too, still in the box :P And got a Droppy or Drippy plushie too, from Ni No Kuni. Haven't bothered to buy more collector's edition stuff for a few years now.

[@ArtzieMusic]

rad game room

[@videogameobsession]

Nice collection man! It seems our collections are VERY similar in the way they are setup. From the floor to the ceiling. :P I currently have around 5,000 games and 50+ boxed systems in a tiny spare bedroom. It's so sad. I haven't bought much in the past 15 years simply because I have no room for them. 1st world problems I know hehe.

[@HildegardActual]

Great collection Johnny. I still can't believe you sit on the floor though. Btw my OCD...it REALLY wants to organize those shelves for you.

[@driftingswordsmanzer]

I did not know you sat on the floor :) Great tour man I love room tours.

[@michailpapathomas4981]

HappyConsoleGamer Wow, you sir are my idol. So many different and interesting things in your collection; how much would you have spent over the years on these?

[@AnalogX64]

very nice room tour. Thanks for sharing.

[@nikitapwn]

You should stream the HCG show on Twitch as a talk show! It would be AWESOME!

[@xINVISIGOTHx]

ARGH!!! some day..... I'm going to empty out my room and just put all my games in it!

[@flyhunterz]

The kind of collection I like. No clutter, only great games that convey great memories. Who needs a very extensive room full of shit games when you can have an awesome room filled with gems like this?

[@warnerg80]

Man I wish you'd bust out some of those old VHS tapes and go over some of those memories.

[@Diobolical25]

I'm kinda ocd and seeing all those games randomly placed makes me want to organize them

[@ThatOneGamerGuy31]

Wow I thought it was weird I had a bottle of Trooper beer sitting on my shelf on display, I just thought it looked so awesome. Thanks for showing I'm not the only one xD

[@duhmez]

Don't tie up your gamepad cords because when you want to use them you must untie them. The best way is keep gamepads in sandwich bags. This way it is impossible for them to tangle with others, it keeps off the dust and moisture, and when you want to use it you just pop it open an use, and pop back in when you want to put away for extended time.

[@MysticGargoyle]

Would be cool to see your modern collection too, like Wii U,PS3,PS4 and Xbox One games.

[@Drewsefer89]

Awesome room! Though you should expand or re-model. Also: Where did you get that Y's Books 1&2 the book version from?

[@Retroradboy]

Nice collection. A great collection of some of the best stuff. If you want to be totally blown away by a collection , lastgamer , it's like the biggest in the world 18k Keep up the vids

[@Laros82]

Great Collection Johnny! man some less famous ones in there that I had forgotten I played like Tobal Nr. 2 ... I enjoyed it alot.. I remember playing the quest Mode or whatever it was called in japanese and struggling trying to beat the dungeon but still playing it alot! oh and of course u had to have Returner the movie love it alot!

[@areze666]

I must admit, I am a wee bit disappointed that you brushed over Dragon Quest 1 and 2 for SNES on top of your 360 games. Thats all that stuck out that I wanted to really see more of in this video. I really enjoyed it! keep up the good work and keep playing games!

[@CanonGames]

If I was Johnny, I'd be a Happy Console Gamer.

[@MrTuco40]

Great video. Somehow I always thought this guy was more organized than he is. It's really a mess. But at least you can tell he plays a lot. I guess that's how it should be!

[@lorensmith8861]

For organizing controllers and cables it's best to use twist ties because rubber bands dry out and break.

[@dethklok21]

You're awesome Johnny!!!

[@InazumaDash]

Man... stacking games isn't good for them. T_T It's also inconvenient when you wanna grab them. Great collection tho, almost no bad games at all. xD

[@nikkis.2066]

I need to make a room completely dedicated to gaming xD! I have all my PC games and Collector's Editions in my room, but all of my actual consoles, games and such is in the living room downstairs :p. But starting to run out of space a bit xD! Thinking of getting a bigger shelf setup for it.

[@yungoswaaald3397]

I saw Kingdom Hearts and i smiled

[@Deep-Rest]

Really sweet, thanks for the tour.
