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

the experiment failed after THQ gone bankrupt

It's actually insanity. Even beyond spongebob which had a couple good games, he bought crap shoot after crapshoot after crapshoot after crapshoot after crapshoot.

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.

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...

[@Commander_Bowling]

​@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.

[@TreeRoot06]

I was screaming at the video the entire time like "OH MY GOD SCOTT GET A REAL GAME ALREADY JESUS!" When he was hyping up his new Mario game for the DS, I was getting so excited but alas, it was Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. My heart was instantly shattered. But when all hope was lost and things were looking down, he finally got Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii. I was so happy when he got Mario Galaxy. All of my troubles and worries went away.

​@@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.

[@SuperFigures-ql2dv]

I love how specific Scott is when choosing the most random stuff to compare/make fun of (like Suikoden 5, Quiddich World Cup and Skunk-Fu)

[@embracethemartiian]

I think on a personal level, this video concept is actually something amazing. Scott essentially listed his video game-associated childhood memories with great detail in video format, making it something that he can watch throughout his life and reminisce on, as he gets older and memories begin to gradually fade.

[@embracethemartiian]

@@tuscan4174 yeah unfortunately the existentialism is a product of my own perspective on the video. I’m only a year older than Scott, and I wish I could remember this much detail about the games I played, where I got them, who I played them with, and the memories we shared. 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

[@MissingTexture]

When Scott said he finally got a gamecube, I was stoked to see Doubledash, Luigi’s mansion, melee, pokemon, pikmin, Zelda, all sorts of stuff. I didn’t even know there were so many SpongeBob games.

I love the fact that his copy of sonic 2 is still the rarest version, the "Sonic 2 with a line on it"

[@FigureFarter]

Boom, one of a kind!

[@SeanFerree]

Same!

[@opadrip]

Scott had a more varied childhood than mine. Back then, all i knew was Mario or Sonic because that's all my mom got me. The only reason i branched out to other games as a kid was due to Super Smash Bros Melee introducing me to other games, and that was only because Mario was on the cover.

[@pepincuatro2865]

Varied? He owned all spongebob games ever made. His childhood library would be what a psychopath would give a child to make him hate video games and life. You had it good with your Mario and Sonic

[@qw3rtypd4ng3r]

Yeah but those games were good. Scott listed like 40 games and like 5 of them were good

[@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.

It's frankly impressive that Scott made a career out of videogames, considering how many of them in his childhood were uhh... _mediocre at best._

[@abdullahelkady6166]

Scott is the only person who can release 2 videos in the span of 8 months and we still love him for it Edit: I know he made 4. I didn’t count the Christmas one because it was meant to release the year before and the best of 2022 video because it was just a compilation.
