Retro Handheld Gaming in Germany

[@Eshaktaar]

Legend has it they're still waving to this day.

[@aldershot8008]

I subscribed for retro hand helds. I stayed for the travel vlogs.

[@Kogami]

Same lol

[@nathanteets]

As a fan of this channel living in Frankfurt I'm glad you had such a good time in Germany. Thanks for this video - it's always good to see how people travel with tech, especially on these long flights to and from the US.

[@anthonyjohnsonvideo]

Look at Russ rocking that economy middle seat on the long flight. What a legend.

[@RetroGameCorps]

All so my wife could have the aisle seat 😂

[@サパタアンドレス]

@@RetroGameCorpsSmart people 😈

[@MrSquirrelchan]

I do this for my wife as well but she gets the window seat 😂

[@HughesyTech]

No points , economy only😂

[@xman7337]

Same but window for wife. Sacrifice is real! 😂

[@fave_Shadow]

Fantastic video. As a European nice to hear an outside perspective. Also, I liked the historic details and that the darker parts were mentioned in a thoughtful way.

[@Borni84]

Greetings to you from Germany. I've been watching your channel from Germany for a while now and it's great. Nice that you were here once.

[@Crackalacking_Z]

"What's the purpose of your visit?" ... "Getting my hand electrocuted, cooked and whipped" ... "Ah, the usual. Welcome to Germany. Enjoy your stay."

[@livinlicious]

purpose of the trip - not paying taxes on income. insert homer simpson reference "dont say revenge, dont say revenge.... ehm... Revenge *check*)

[@pspsmallz]

Your travel videos are some of the best content you do. If you ever stop doing emulation handheld content, definitely consider travel stuff.

[@ironcladcobra]

Great video Russ! It was such an honor and privilege to meet you at LUDO Finally... 🥰

[@RetroGameCorps]

It was an honor meeting you, my friend!

[@ironcladcobra]

@@RetroGameCorps Next time I meet you, I'll wear a T-shirt that says: ''Do you really wanna do it? Yeah man, I really wanna do it''. 😍😂

[@doesboknow2]

Joke's on you, I grabbed my snack and drink before clicking play.

[@kindle-s8w]

😂😂😂

[@Verganon]

Hey Russ! I was at Ludo as well thanks to your community post about it! 🙌 (The dude with the purple shirt with a pink Gameboy on it, rocking an original RP2) Thank you so much for making me aware of this, as well as just simply spending some time with me just to chat 🙏 (I am still sorry and embarrassed for being so awkward) It was a fun experience, I met a lot of cool people and a great honor to see you in person as well. Thank you! 🙏❤️

[@tymonkruidenier1400]

As a Dutchie, it was such a joy to hear your observations about Amsterdam. Very funny! I'm glad you had a great time in both Germany as well as The Netherlands.

[@timmy-corner]

Just sad that he went to NL and Germany but skipped Belgium… 😂

[@IcoKirov]

there are tons of youtubers and vloggers that make traveling videos exclusively. I exclusively watch the videos that are about my country. I don't watch other traveling videos. it's really fun to see how something you considered normal to the point that you are not even "considering it" (thinking about it at all i mean) is strange and fascinating for foreigners.

[@lunsj]

I'm officially petitioning Russ to start Russ' Travelogs KZbin channel!

[@Desmobrenner]

Greetings From Hamburg Germany. Following your Channel for quiet a long time, hopefully you enjoyed your Trip.

I asked for some cheese dip, they asked if I really wanted some, and I said “yea man, I wanna dip it”.

But is it Hadoukenable and Shoryukenable?

[@LunnchBoxx45]

This video is giving huge Rick Steves vibes!! Love this content, Russ. I would watch hours and hours of you and your wife's travel vlogs. This was a very entertaining and well constructed video. Thank you for all the hard work, my guy!!

[@sebarsS9]

Russ, as a German AND fan of your channel I can't thank you enough for this video. I wish there was a "1000x LIKE" button next to the regular one. Incredible, thank you.

[@kyleboyd504]

You calling the Atari Lynx "big and chonky" made me chuckle because that's the SMALL one!!

[@raymond.romero]

just chiming in to say i really love these travel/lifestyle videos with touches of gaming sprinkled in. please keep doing things like this. love the channel!

[@maglat]

Schön das es dir gefallen hat und du so viele Eigenarten festgestellt hast, welche für einen Deutschen absolut normal erscheinen. Paprika Chips z.B. ^^

[@Chrisdumm1]

Thanks for sharing your trip with us! I love these videos.

[@SwordSaint892]

Good stuff beating Control and FF7 Remake, Russ! :D Happy that occasionally you get to play past the first 10 minutes of a game. :)

[@sebuli]

Thank you for this great video. Followed your channel for the handheld review and setup videos for a while. Now I am glad that YT showed me your travel report about GER/NL. Greetings from Dresden, Germany.

[@jmbosma8439]

Hey Russ, So funny to see my hometown and country through the eyes of a visitor from abroad! Great video, as always. Would have been a very strange experience to suddenly encounter one of my favourite KZbinrs here on the streets in Amsterdam 😅

[@willm127]

Awesome video! love trave-logs when my favorite youtubers do them. I especially learned the facts about the cities and places you visited.

[@wills2652]

Your content got me into retro gaming! I got the miyoo mini plus and am loving it! Keep up the great work!!!

[@charlesv]

As someone from Berlin glad you made it to the Computerspielmuseum! It’s such a fun collection!

[@Travel_Us2019]

Russ, we were in Germany around the same time as you! Your videos are such a joy to watch. Making videos like these are a tough challenge to say the least. Keep at it and I'm looking forward to the next travel styled video you make.

[@Evercade_Effect]

What an awesome vacation! I really enjoyed this, thanks so much for sharing!

[@Globa_me]

Such a nice and cozy trip! Thank you, Russ!

[@rob4222]

I'm from Germany but never heard of these KZbinrs 😳

[@IcoKirov]

i almost never get recommendations from my country in my feed. turned out, i have set my country to US... :D

[@matthagen67]

I REALLY enjoyed this video :) love watching your content, man.

[@MrDusuke]

Great video and awesome trip! Europe is indeed lovely and full os history ❤. Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities ever. I still have to visit Berlin, my wife was there and she loved the city as well.

[@FelipeDiniz123]

19:40 so adorable they walking and waving the entire time haha

[@garygriffiths7353]

Love these travel videos :)

[@BulentYusuf]

Computerspiele museum in Berlin is a must visit!

[@BlueshellGamer]

Amazing. I just bought a nice small portable oled. And watching this video in emtirity really gave me a good impression of what Berlin / Amsterdam would be like. I havent been since 2003. Its really changed!

[@nuclearmonster]

Hell yeah!!! Been studying German for years to travel there, plus a fleet foxes mention, great video!

[@KwingF]

Always fun to hear about my home town Amsterdam from the perspective of an outsider who comes to visit. Shame about the rain. Nice video!

[@NPCLiam]

I love these videos. Looked like a great time, man!

[@salitz91]

Didn't know mechanism has a bag! Going on the Christmas list... great video Russ! Always love these trip reviews

[@alvarohernandezassens2251]

Great video and as someone living in Berlin I enjoyed especially seeing the part about the city.

[@tentenbits]

i appreciate you and I always enjoy when you share your travels.

[@AlexFalkenberg]

Former military here, but was stationed in Europe, and did a lot of traveling over my years there. Miss it so much, and glad to see you being able to take advantage now that you're out. :)

[@kklum6998]

Enjoyed your video. Been to Denmark many years ago and seeing different cultures besides my own. I enjoyed my time there touring historical sites and also tasting their cusines. Will one day put Germany as one of my targeted destination for tour. Kudos.

[@shrike3602]

I can confirm that the MOMA is housing "Starry Night" when I visited in June. I also may have spent a solid 3 hours walking around the Met admiring everything...

[@Lawtubes]

Love these travel vlogs!

[@MioMate187]

Fantastic Video love it ❤️ Greatings from Germany. I would love to have exactly your holiday trip 😊

[@IcoKirov]

legends say they are still waving

[@LuluManager2]

« Ludo » is « I play » in old Latin. It’s also my surname 😊 (French Ludovic, Italian Ludovico, German Ludwig…etc)

[@RetroGameCorps]

I believe it also translates to "play" (or some derivation of it) in Esperanto!

[@caocaoholdingaplushie6022]

I though it was just a name for a boardgame

[@meltie77]

German fan here, glad you liked your visit!

[@adamprokofiew394]

That's funny you just posted this, I'm leaving tomorrow for Berlin first and then Oktoberfest in Munich and I packed my Retro Game Corps Tshirt a few hours ago.

[@TheFilantropistBaker]

Ahh, you went to my city A'dam!!! Love your content. Best wishes from a Dutchie in Chicago

[@acarajeh]

Thank you for mentioning Fleet Foxes, I just checked out their music and I’m really enjoying their stuff.

[@kevinvanloo2049]

Dutch/flemish speaking Belgian here. Loved your takes on the dutch words. Hagelslag was a good one 🤭 In some parts of Belgium we call the thin Hagelslag "Muizenstrontjes" which translates to little mouse faeces.

[@colemanmcclung]

I know it’s not really why you started the channel, but talking about real world traveling with your handhelds scratched an itch I didn’t know I had. More like this.

[@revence1000]

Funny to see your observation about the Netherlands as a Dutch guy myself. Loved to have meet you in Amsterdam

[@Vonliktenstien]

I’m leaving for Hawaii from Japan tomorrow and I’m replaying Control on my SD OLED right now. Great minds.

[@tktyga77]

I've so many things to say on the game section with Legos, especially with the ability to combine it with fitting the pieces in. I'm glad you saw at least a little bit outside of Amsterdam by Zaandam & means a good deal to some of us. Be sure to check out other parts of the country on your next trip & to the other Benelux countries like the Matonge Quarter in Brussels plus others like Antwerp & even Luxembourg's most picturesque parts, you won't regret said parts

[@maddoggaming1171]

12:47 Wow Russ has officially put his blood sweat and tears into the hobby.

[@cas05005]

Thank you for sharing. Hope to venture out of the country myself someday.

[@TygorClaw]

This is one of the videos I wished I could like multiple times! I didn't know there was a retro gaming event in the Netherlands. Otherwise I would've been there ^^ I am a fairly recent follower of your channel and I really like your videos. Keep up the good video work! I wish I could meet you in person ^^

[@YippiekayoRom3o]

I see so retro gaming does work in Germany as well, interesting.

[@ChristianGrail]

Nice video. Great to hear you had good time in Europe.

[@K1ngM1nos]

Looking good, Mr Russ. Europe looks good on you 😊 Thanks for sharing.

[@Attard73]

Not sure why but I love all your travel videos 🖤

[@Rebusmind]

I worked at the Computerspiele Museum some years ago. Had to play a lot of Pain Station against visitors. Good times! :D

[@RGGeek]

I wonder if we used to work together! When I used to give tours there to school classes I’d always tell the students they can play against their teachers when the tour is over. The shocked look on the teachers’ faces was priceless! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Rebusmind]

@@RGGeek I worked there 8, 9 years ago. Time flies. 😭

[@omicronF]

Love your travel videos!

[@ALex-qc4lf]

Computerspiele Museum is kinda central, walkable from Alexanderplatz even haha. It's east center. To be fair, most tourists rarely get outside of the "Ring". Glad you enjoyed the cultural experience tho. Often people come mostly to party haha. A fun museum for next time is the "Museum für Verkehr und Technik" (Traffic and technology), it's connected to the physics museum called "spectrum". Really fun

[@Junier-Hussein]

Such a fun video, you took us on the journey with you.

[@Fazulla]

Love these videos! Would love to see you if you come to London again!

[@kenkwok83]

Hey Russ. I can really watch and listen to you talk about anything. I really enjoyed this video. You should totally moonlight as a travel KZbinr or food KZbinr. Want to hear you talk more about food and cooking since that’s what you used to write about.

[@livinlicious]

Thats the major benefit of being a public media "influencer". This whole trip is a business expense. You can even get your family with you and pay all their stuff. As long as you make a video out of it, even if its less viewed than your other stuff, you can write off the whole thing. I know instagramer that basically even pay for plastic surgery as a business expense, of course clothes, trips, food, anything. Just selfie it, boom, business expense. Thats how you become rich, and most importantly stay rich. By not taxing your income to the government. Next step, getting into art (tax fraud) deals, then you made it really.

[@Danthompsen]

Looks like a great trip! "On travel" rather than "travelling" still throws me off every time 😄

[@francischang]

Great vid! I hope next year, you can visit Shenzhen, maybe meet the designers and manufacturers of the devices we love :) We last visited Shenzhen in 2017 and it was beautiful and amazing, hope you have the same experience!

[@sternani777]

I Love these travel videos Russ. ❤

[@wongetje]

I’m happy that you enjoyed Amsterdam(my home town) and especially the wall of food at FEBO😂

[@CJPV1701]

I gotta say, i would totally watch a whole video on the art pieces.

[@wenaldy]

Your travel video is underrated.

[@ibal6875]

You cannot say you experienced the Netherlands by only seeing Amsterdam. The rest of the country is way more beautiful.your accent of Dutch words made my day 😊

[@gfghjjuzzzffchjj4316]

Hey Russ, das war ein absolut großartiges Video!

[@felkmane]

I recently used the older nreal airs on a flight, and highly recommend it. Its so much nicer on your neck than looking down at a screen the whole time, and nobody really cared or gave looks.

[@hetoriaansverbond5944]

Amazing trip and ditto video! Greetings from Belgium

[@burkedigital]

30:00 amazed that place is still around, I bought rolling papers there like 12 years ago (I'm sure drug tourism creates a sustainable business model) edit: the Van Gogh Museum was so emotionally moving. The progression of the museum follows his life chronologically, which hit pretty hard.

[@XashA12Musk]

31:35 i can feel "Austrian Painter's" AURA under 1933 🗣🔥

[@olioctane]

The way you say doner kebab made me laugh out loud!

[@saifchoudhury164]

Holy crap, I remember trying out the PainStation at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, back in the early 2000s, as part of an exhibit on games as art. I had no idea it was still being showcased in museums!

[@herreichhorn0.0]

Fun to see Russ walk through my hometown 😊

[@josh.2.0.2.0]

A stroopwafel was totally my snack just before starting this video!

[@JorisKoolen]

Awesome video, and Hagelslag FTW!

[@nuclearmonster]

The quick food vending machines are called automats and we had them in the US! There are some businesses trying to bring them back, highly recommend the Automat documentary from a few years back.

[@abs-nt1ue]

I thought automat means machine in Deutsch 🤔

[@DaBorito]

As a German I'm proud of you, you visited the Computerspiele Museum - Ich bin sehr stolz auf dich

[@mrfleagal]

Would love for you to visit Norway! Love your videos :D

[@ryanisright3559]

I hope you enjoyed Amsterdam and my country! Wish I was there to run into you but I’m in Bali at the time 😂

[@manfredtil6]

Great greetings from Germany

[@joeylantis22]

Going on a trip here later this year too, this is going to be me!

[@wujekbandzior]

I also have a AAA moment right now. I don’t know, autumn might be responsible for that right now. It’s just we may prefer sitting in front of big flat screens instead of small handhelds as the weather is getting colder and colder.
