The Childhood Game Collection - Scott The Woz

Scott Wozniak's childhood was an experiment to see what 1,000 hours of licensed THQ games does to a child's development

[@lukes.3679]

He turned out as a psychopath who's bloodrages will destroy us all.

[@rinkashikachi]

Everyone from science team was eliminated due to severe mental instability and urge to collect Madden game copies

[@abandonedchannel1010]

the experiment failed after THQ gone bankrupt

[@larrygriffin4343]

and as you can probably tell, that experiment went horribly, horribly wrong within the next few years.

[@totalphantasm]

It’s genuinely a miracle that Scott actually grew up to like video games when there’s like 5 good games in a 2 hour video

[@phoenixwright784]

It's crazy what you're willing to deal with as a kid. Like I owned a bunch of games as a kid. Probably more good games then scott did... But I also owned games like Zoop and spiderman and X-men arcades revenge which were not good games in the least (well, arcade's revenge ain't good. I dunno what the general opinion on Zoop is but I never liked it ) but I still popped them in plenty 'cause I owned them so I might as well play them. I could delete my file in A Link to the Past and probably get more outta it then space football or lethal weapon but I still popped those games in from time to time despite never enjoying them. And honestly, it seems like most of the "bad games" that scott had were just bland and mediocre. Meanwhile I also owned an atari 2600 and while I did have plenty of good games on that like Ms. Pacman and River Raid... I also owned E.T. so I don't think scott did that bad with his childhood collection lol.

[@phoenixwright784]

@@aniyilator Eh. If I remember correctly, I got it alongside Q*bert, Frogger, and Yars revenge at goodwill. I think they were some of the last atari games I got. As a kid I thought Yars Revenge was broken every time I played it, but Q*bert was decent and Frogger's always great so not all was lost. I also own like, 2 copies of the atari port of Pacman which I actually despise more than E.T. At least E.T. had an excuse for being garbage...

[@jake_oliver]

Imagine being friends with Scott and having a PS2/Xbox, playing God of War, GTA San Andreas, Halo, Forza, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Fable, Black. And the day Scott comes to your house, he scoffs at your PS2/Xbox, claiming how the Gamecube is superior. And when he invites you to his house, all he has for his Gamecube is SpongeBob games. LMAO

[@Prengle]

And when he gets the opportunity to check out any game on any modern console 360/ps3/wii, my man picks BOOGIE. Scott is a national treasure.

​@Minkfang Upon reading your comment, honestly same. I'm 23 and the oldest of 3 siblings. I think my cousins kept me in touch with a lot of the early childhood cartoons and VHS memories I have, but I certainly felt there was a barrier for me in terms of video games that I wasn't able to cross for years. As the oldest, I was a pioneer of the DS and Wii for my sister, and was teased with a Game Boy Color in 2010. I later found a SNES at a hotel's lost and found and convinced my parents to ask thr owners to let me keep it. The 90's were something I never got to inherit from older siblings, which is why the late 2000's media feels like home to me.

[@LNERFlyingScotsman]

Only child here and a little less than a year younger than Scott and wow I'm glad I wasn't sucked into the licensed game hole too much. Sure, I owned Hot Wheels World Race and Cars the video game, but most of my other GameCube titles were all first party. I played Mario Sunshine at a McDonald's, saw an ad for the MP7 and GameCube bundle and wanted that for Christmas since I knew Sunshine was played on a GameCube and I thought MP7 was Sunshine. Come to my surprise it wasn't, so my dad ran out to Toys R Us before the end of the year to pick up Sunshine for me after I got the video game title from the back of my GameCube box. But playing Mario Party encouraged me to get the other Mario Parties for GameCube at used video game stores and one of those trips my mom suggested I buy Paper Mario TTYD and although I had provided some pushback it was an amazing suggestion. I was a Mario fanboy throughout as most of the video games I had were Mario games cuz I knew they were always a good time, but at least it saved me from the shovelware of GameCube and Wii games some kids got cuz the games were cheaper than a first party Nintendo game.

[@newtonbomb]

I can’t help but think about the fact that I’m 27 now and i probably have lost a small portion of my childhood memories forever already, and it’s not going to get any better. It’s just great that Scott can look back at this at any point in life and easily be reminded of all the great memories video games gifted him

Excellent retrospective of the major SpongeBob game releases, it even comes with bonus segments about other games!

[@sillygoof13]

I never realized how big of a title screen fan Scott was

[@caitlynmcmunn]

This is Scott Wozniak we’re talking about, the guy could talk about instruction manuals for hours given the chance. I think he, above all else, likes *the aesthetics* of gaming

[@leonro]

tbf title screens during that period still feel pretty rad, nowadays they're kind of boring

[@VanessaVersus]

I knew he was secretly Nitro Rad the whole time

[@macafromthewired]

@@caitlynmcmunn i used to read instruction manuals like they were magazines i used to carry the 3DS manual around like i was a fucking spokesperson

[@_-Lx-_]

​@@leonro Yeah, there's still a good number of really cool ones still, but a lot of ones nowdays feel rather basic and boring. Need more like Xenoblade DE, NieR Automata, GOW 2018, Cuphead, because there are some that are painfully boring, GGST has one of the worst Title Screens I've seen in my life, in a series about bold visual direction it's a static almost silent title screen that takes a minute to load. Definitely some great ones still, but not as many consistently cool/creative ones, however not a dead art, I must say I woefully mourn the creativity of 2000s DVD Main Menus, the Shrek 2 DVD was so damn good because of it's one and the many bonus goodies, you can tell they had a lot of fun making it.

I’ve come back and fully rewatched this video at least four times now… I don’t know why I like it so much but it’s an absolute masterpiece and I wish I had the skills to make a similar one about my own childhood games, because they had a similar impact on me

[@videostudios6042]

I've also rewatched this video serval times and it was a video that I wanted after watching the "RPG guy" special I would say it's interesting seeing Scott's childhood gaming history after hearing him talk about gaming history in general and I am hoping we get a follow up video to this one where he keeps going from the age of 14 to maybe when he is 20 because I would interested to see what happens next

[@sLifestyle-ny9sx]

@@videostudios6042 same! I really want to see him look back on his teen years when he started getting into game collecting

[@colefitzpatrick8431]

The way that Scott writes videos about his childhood seriously, seriously gave me non-existent, albeit parallel feelings of nostalgia to his. The length of an afternoon in front of a TV screen, the lamenting how much you stayed in your comfort zone, the unhealthy attachment to nickelodeon that had no reason lasting for as long as it did, the sensations of playing multiplayer games all by yourself, the casuality of friendship then - Scott - you write about childhood very accurately and leave truly no stone unturned.

[@Nerdtendo6366]

I love Scott’s drawings. Something about them are so charming

[@ToppetREAL]

Yeah. This new drawing thing is really cool

[@VicViperRebirth]

I hope he incorporates this drawing style in more of his future videos they are so childlike and charming

[@Luschan]

It’s reassuring to see someone else verbalize being a kid who liked video games but also sucked at them

[@bendito247]

HE’S JUST LIKE ME FRRRRR Man I have so much nostalgia playing racing games, shooters, and fighting games with my friends during my childhood and losing like 90% of the time. Good times.

[@adachy]

the first game i remember beating was mario odyssey. i was born in 2006.

[@CasepbX]

Same, and then getting a Game Genie and being able to see the full game was truly an epic feeling.

[@Robospy1]

​@@adachyThe first game I beat was Lego Batman. I was born in 2007.

[@dunkinator]

Yep. That's me. Ten year old me couldn't get past world 1 of New Super Mario Bros Wii.

[@conmereth]

This is by far my favorite Scott video, it brings me right back to my own childhood and all the gaming memories I was fortunate enough to make. Personally my childhood was dominated by handheld games because my dad worked at a used car dealership cleaning out recently purchased cars and he would often come home with lost gameboy and ds games he found hidden between seats and such. Needless to say I had quite the extensive collection for a child!

[@conmereth]

A game that stands out to me is Transformers Decepticons for the DS. Having revisited it somewhat recently, it honestly handles pretty poorly but still you have several little open worlds to drive around in and get in police chases, it scratches that GTA itch more than Chinatown Wars ever did and nobody ever talks about it.

[@ztm999]

I don’t have a lot of moments that make me genuinely laugh on this platform but holy shit “Do ya smell it?” KILLED ME

[@PunishedSpindle300]

I was alone in the break room at work listening to this and did a huge nose exhale as soon as someone walked in 😭

[@ChirpyChips-vj4uo]

21:51 thought I’d leave it here 💀

[@leonro]

@@ChirpyChips-vj4uo I find 22:07 funnier

[@rez-theruneman]

Y'know what... I think this might be my favorite Scott the Woz episode yet. I don't know why, but it really just... felt great to watch.

[@JakeGottfriedStudios]

It truelly is a retrospective like no other, and honestly makes me want to reflect the same views I had growing up on stuff I liked compared to what I think of them now

[@-HumanOnEarth-]

I enjoyed how relatable it was, I imagine I'm not alone. The specific details of my own introduction into videogames are different, I got a pawn shop N64 instead of a relatives Genesis as my first home console, and I obviously didn't the exact same games (though there was a lot of overlap with the most random games in this video). But starting with that and a GBC and then moving to a GBA and eventually a DS and Wii, as well as being an only child, meant that I ended up with a lot of the same types of games and I recall using much of the same kid logic when picking a game from the store. TL;DR This video definitely had me reflecting on my own experiences with being introduced to videogames circa 2001-2010.
