[@olsensth]

Luke what did you do 16 years ago? Need a response video. :)

[@roketfingers]

Do you have any old tapes lying around? It would be cool to see a video of what you were working on 10+ years ago.

[@togakure9]

For the sake of humanity!!!! Post more videos like that.... its so amazing to watch retro casual content like this and its also a historic document.... I really enjoy your friendship with rob

[@TheSphereHunter]

You two are exactly the same

[@mylene-with-a-spatula]

You can feel the friendship between Johnny and Rob and it feels great😊. A friendship like this one is basically permanent they're so close they're like brothers.

[@DreamcastGuy]

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Back to the future!

[@GameSack]

Timothy Vreeland Johnny vs Boogie.

[@OMGpandemic]

Dude this is so awesome! Crazy how fast the years go by.

[@darrendraper3176]

Well that is a strong look Robman is sporting ;) Thanks for sharing Johnny, totally surreal seeing into your guys past and witnessing how much you've changed and yet the passion for gaming and the clearly true and special friendship are unyielding aspects of your life. You should be happy and proud of this footage, it has a depth and weight beyond its content.

[@AtomicWeed1]

Am i the only one who always says "Welcome back to another episooode" along with Johnny everytime one of his videos starts?

[@SuperPrezton]

Man this video brings back tons of memories of my buddies and I doing the same stuff, thanks for the trip back to the early 00's! I miss that time man...

[@bobsamurai]

"my folds weren't precise" "what? and im letting you do this shit?" hahahaha

[@MrDmoney156]

You watch HCG too?!

[@bobsamurai]

yep!

[@GameGalaxyshow]

This is such a treasure man! So great to capture and have moments like this from the past. I'd love to see more!

[@ThePizzaboy321]

WE NEED MORE OLD SCHOOL FOOTAGE THIS WAS AWESOME

[@BloodyEyeGamer]

So great to see footage of young Rob & Johnny. Thanks for sharing this. I hope you post more in the future.

[@MobileGamerBrasil]

Hi Man, I thought about quitting the game career to know his work. Thanks for posting these videos and long life to old gamers.

[@charlizard100]

leeeeets get riiiiiiiiight into the episooooooode

[@charlizard100]

I'm sorry

[@Silvergun_Raven]

LOL

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

haha!

[@craiganderson7085]

8:18 "Your fingers in the way... human". Great video Johnny! I think I need to redownload Grandia 2 now :)

[@kirestus]

this is a good reminder for me to have a good friend over an play video games again. i get so caught up in work, family etc that i kinda forgot how fun it can be to have a friend over and play some rpgs

[@johnbrennan2988]

Ryan Fry I had the same revelation!

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Non of my friends are into playing games much anymore.. And even when they were they weren't RPG fans, we're only in our early 20's too.. And they're already boring themselves with little to no gaming entertainment, so glad I do.

[@raggeragnar]

When I was 22 back in 1987 , a friend tagged along 7 or 8 of us wrestling buddies to a district championship and taped the whole day on 2 , almost full , 4 hour vhs cassettes. The smaller cassettes was not out yet , so the camera was a bit larger. He taped from morning assembly-car trip-arrival-weigh in-all matches-medal ceremony(for 2 of my friends)-trip home-party in club house and all the everyday goofing off and sillyness in between. For me , that's a day in my youth , forever saved , to watch whenever I want to timetravel , for a little while. Be very careful with your tapes Johnny. That's a real treasure , right there.

[@BestAtLosing]

I love that "Student Bodies" is playing on the TV. Loved that show.

[@marcelostockle2]

You always have the most unceremonious video endings. As soon as I feel you are building on to something: "anyways, guys, until next time".

[@MightyQDawg]

It's amazing how far we've come in 16 years. An average day memorialized forever. Even if it wasn't me there, it may as well have been. thanks for the look back, Johnny!

[@RaphyCuomo]

That's the reason why I'm being a fan of this channel since 2009! Jhonny and his friends are SO MUCH like me and my friends! I've passed my teenage years back in the day doing this kind of stuff! In looking forward for the rest of the videos! Thank you some much Jhonny for all this years of entertainment!

[@FavianTubeX]

Keep it up. I enjoy your channel because of your generally optimistic and upbeat love of video games. The whole "angry gamer" persona from KZbinrs who nitpick bullshit is tired.

[@cloudbloom]

FavianTube agreed! this channel is nothing but positive vibes and I love it. I had a very similar upbringing as johnny and we were into the same stuff back in the late 80's and early 90's. its like watching myself talk about my past when I watch his videos, he's such a cool guy too.

[@Svante]

Thanks for sharing these videos :) Man, the year 2000, feels like it was just yesterday. I was 24 at the time, and was also gaming on the Dreamcast. Good times!

[@PowerMetalGamer]

There's nothing better to be doing on a hangover Sunday morning than watching Johnny talk about shit! ;)

[@boombya123]

+Roman Bellic Bowling?

[@boombya123]

+Roman Bellic Friendship level dropped to 25%

[@whatismyname5151]

HAHA!! I agree 100% I always watch this show during my Sunday Recoveries

[@awesomeguy5679]

These videos are awesome. We need more of these old school videos!

[@mightyvoovoo]

Oh man, that apartment is such a young 20's apartment. Consoles just laying on the floor. Married guys can't get away with that stuff, those consoles have to be on a SHELF!

[@Xanduur]

You and your friends are lucky indeed. Y'all still keep in touch and are part of each other's daily lives. I've lost touch with all the folks that I used to hang out with in my early and late 20s.

[@wojiaobill]

Your place was incredibly clean for a game geek lol

[@sheepnoisebah]

proof someone actually played seaman

[@ElBribri]

Really???

[@sageky]

Rob with the craftsmanship! lol. he uses this same skill to make those super tight Christmas packages.

[@JunkerVlog]

You guys were right around my age at the time. (25) it's great to look back and see young Rob and Johnny.

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

Love this channel man.

[@GameFreak4Ever]

Reminds me of throwback moments with my best friend from my childhood. We are still cool to this day.

[@JonIsFrench]

Will there be more of this? I thought this was amazingly cool!!

[@Ceko]

I think I'm your age Johnny and this video brings back memories indeed! The Dreamcast, the PlayStation. They were the sh*t man! Hooked up on a giant TV, audio system on. That feeling was awesome. What a weird games you played though 😂

[@dualthreat74]

I love this footage! This takes me back to the awesome days of the Dreamcast! I loved getting together and hanging out with friends for some laid back gaming.

[@RetroDeath]

I remember doing that too back in the day in the Netherlands,my uncle was the kinda guy who would always get early access shit too, we always had to make sure the cases looked great no matter where they came from. It's amazing seeing such old footage still way before it become a thing online.

[@Dylbob14]

Dude I love rob. Seems like such a fun guy to be around. Hope he makes a full recovery 🤙

[@rellik187redrum]

great old flashbacks!! hope you upload more old video from the good old days.....

[@LosN209]

Rob 16 year's ago looks kind of like Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad

[@UltraDTA]

I've been watching since the time you only had about 20 videos up and I must say that I am really impressed with how much happier and healthier you look today, John!

[@seandevlin4059]

I'm only 22, but man the early 2000's were everything I love about life.

[@AcidGlow]

That was a great video.

[@Sarato]

Wow, this is so awesome. It feels somewhat weird that I watch a video of you when you were the same age as I am now. This was just lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing this!

[@9VENDETTA]

Man, seeing a video like this just takes me back with all of the memories I have with my best friend growing up and even until recently. Whenever we could, we would hang out together, get intoxicated, and just play games and mess around together sort of like this. Many great memories made. We tried to do it as much as possible before I moved from Canada to the Netherlands. We still try and Skype eachother whenever we get the chance and do the same thing over video chat, but the timezones and our busy lives make it difficult of course. I hope someday that we can get some time to be together in person and hang out like we always did. By the way, I just turned 24 a few days ago, so now I am officially older than Rob man in this video. Wow. We Miss you by the way Rob man, we all hope everything is going well with you.

[@KoiNoYokan37]

Need more content like this! These are my favourite type of Videos from Johnny! Still waiting for that Anime Convention documentary! 😭😭😭

[@Cyberote]

Historical documentation indeed!

[@hulkaman1a]

Wow, I have that exact same Sony TV. Picked it up recently on CL for about $10. Great for old games. Also, making labels for copied games sure brings back memories. I used to rent PlayStation games, copy them, and make labels. These days I'm all about collecting the actual games, but back then, CD burning was a new thing, and owning a copy felt almost as good. Thanks for sharing!

[@SoftOtaku]

Ha! What a find! Thanks for sharing.

[@franciscor390]

holy crap man that was the exact stuff i was doing, watching and playing at the time. feels like a time capsule to a better time. And man seeing that dreamcast there man so much nostalgia.

[@CorruptNostalgia]

God this is so cool to see the past like this

[@SuperBuu85]

This looks like a nice little showing of true real life friendship to me, and I think it's cool. You guys are awesome.

[@HeroOfSlime]

The legend of Rob Mans's hair!! It does exist LOL

[@Graystash]

I was like 8 in 2000 but still feel the nostalgia from this video.

[@HollowRick]

Same here

[@VideoGameStupidLC]

It's been almost a year! When these older videos gonn' be released!? 1:17 Rewatching this again.. is that Satan?!

[@DJErrn]

I like the way you say episode its your tag line now. We love you for it 👍😄

[@Syntheticham]

Holy moly Rob's shirt brings me back! Thank you for the trip back in time :D

[@chobitssofar]

man this bring me back alot of memomies 16 years ago I just 17.

[@16tommygun]

Your gaming collection has grown! Gives me a little want to take this up as a hobby.

[@LatinoLokaso]

loving the old videos I was 12 in the year 2000 I had a ps1 and I loved it

[@MechaTengu21]

Thanks for sharing with us such a great moment.

[@MatthewMcGravey]

I did the same thing. Would buy a stack of games and print covers. Lots of memories.

[@NintendoHodge]

HAHA you had on Student Bodies on TV. Good Old Canadian TV. Some times the bumming around the house and doing nothing days are the best days.

[@rainroark207]

Hearing about you going to places that sell imports always makes me sad. I feel like I really missed out, and still do, because I didn't have that kind of access growing up.

[@edmundblackadder2741]

It’s so funny how your guys banter hasn’t changed one bit

[@GatobotShow]

How have you dealt with 16 years of Rob's weird voices? lol

[@RobManWorld]

With great parience and the odd physical beating....

[@babloo1666]

lol

[@Apprentice_of_the_Leonine]

Was Robin Williams the inspiration for the weird voices?

[@TheGebs24]

Beautiful time capsule right here Johnny ❤️

[@DeadShadow]

They haven't changed in 16 years :3

[@SonyTrinitron]

Funny to see how the sense of humor between you guys hasn't changed at all.

[@ColeFam]

It's kinda strange watching you guys while you're younger than me, but I really enjoyed it. I'd love to see more of these!

[@GrumpyRetroGamers]

Episoooooooode!!! Maybe it's a Canadian thing? :D HCG is just another reason why we love Sundays. Great video, again! [Ben]

[@StefanHomberger]

Yay, Richmond! I used to go there a lot for an annual sci-fi convention. I'd stay an extra week after the con and go into Vancouver.

[@SeafoamSmiles]

This kinda blows my mind. Rob was the same age in this video as I am right now.

[@legisu]

Rob looked like Jesse Pinkman

[@mattilib1]

Totally

[@Kinaldio]

Who is she?

[@DemonKingNemo]

@@Kinaldio oooooffffff

[@seanboy4386]

I know im really late but I got to say i remember the 90's a little and I too remember putting gaming consoles on the floor in the living room in front of my parents tv and entertainment system. Oh the 90's such a simpler time I miss it, being a kid when we had a snes and 64. Still do actully.

[@evilarmyofdeadness17]

Ah the early 2000's when the pants were baggy might I say the baggiest and the shirts were button up with cool flames on the sides and RPG's were front and center and anime had taken the west by storm. Thanks for showing this, I love seeing how other people lived during this time as well. I like to think of what I was doing on this certain day probably skating or playing Secret of Mana.

[@SuperVegeta25Returns]

you really need to gather all your tapes and post them here on youtube Johnny. Its awesome to see you and Rob back in the day (:

[@viewtifuljoe99]

That video could be my life right now in some ways. Very cool to see

[@DennyMan182]

I miss this era. Your life feels like an extension of mine. I miss the ps1 and dreamcast copy days. I used to go to these stores and pick up the import copies also! ah, nostalgia!

[@HollowRick]

Same

[@PercyPumpkinheart]

It's always fun to rediscover a time capsule like this. Unfortunately, most of mine ended up getting destroyed thanks to being on old HDDs that got hauled away and recycled by mistake. I was able to recover some footage from an old camcorder HDD recently from a (failed) Kickstarter film project from 6 years ago, but that's about as good as I'm likely to do. As for this video, Rob sounds pretty similar to how he does now, but Johnny's voice sounds a bit different, deeper. Not sure if that's because of the smoking or his position behind the camera.

[@TurkishChubs]

Looks like I have a project to do! Getting my parents vhs tapes to DVDs, so much history just laying there in a box. I could give it to them as a birthday gift or Christmas gift. I just hope to god it's not one with us being "created" ha. Cool video man, stuff like this are so important man. Just think about it, we live in a world were your great grandchildren or their children could see how you were.

[@dmace81]

Back in the early 2000s and you still had a better tv than what I have. Damn im poor.

[@andrewvaaler8633]

God I love it. Just seeing the dreamcast on the floor there.. Good good times for gaming.

[@MarshallMathersthe7th]

I can see Johnny and Rob in the year 2000 discussing, ''dude what about this new Playstation 2 huh?''

[@tripdeezy]

Damn, I was 12 years old. That was the last year I felt happiness. PS1 and Dreamcast was the life.

[@yagmi6182]

i was 3 lol and still i played games haha

[@LatinoLokaso]

LoserFailToWin I was 12 too I loved my ps1 back then

[@gersonmelendez8940]

Damn the last year you felt happiness? The fuck?

[@cookiesontoast9981]

PS1 games are still the games I play the most by far.

[@OriasX]

I was 2

[@HerosTheme]

I wish I had video taped me and my friends shenanigans, lol. You're a smart man for making these tapes John.

[@Biggly_Diggly]

Man that's a lot of DVDs to have back in 2000 WOW. To have the Cowboy Bebop collection and others, back then like that...lucky man.

[@galebanbollow]

Man seeing the DC and your Psone out brings back awesome memories, I'm going to bring the DC out here in a little bit and have a fun time down memory lane.

[@DijaVlogsGames]

It's so cool to see what you guys were doing when you were my age.

[@maui_idw7644]

I'm waiting for supernatural stuff to happen.. This is the intro to a scary movie right?

[@Motavian]

Playing bootlegs in 2000/2001 with my friends are some of my favorite memories. I love that more people are into the hobby, but I also miss how you sort of had to be "in the know" to get into a lot of this stuff. In Calgary we had some stores in China town that offered great bootlegged anime, well, most of the time. The other times we had hilarious engrish.

[@HollowRick]

Yeah the ps2 made it too mainstream

[@SuperHoraceWimp]

2:30 omfg Student Bodies on tv! used to watch that all the time as a kid here in uk.

[@dougsworld7533]

This was great, love seeing Rob in the zone playing Sea Man haha

[@RhysCJewkes]

I need old videos like these done with a commentary by Rob and yourself...

[@TomServo420]

Good music choice, that's my favorite Chrono Trigger tune hell maybe of all the 16-bit era!

[@88DreadGT]

When do I feel old? When somebody says, "WAAAY back in 2000..."
