Thanks for having me on again, this was fun!

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Always welcome back! Thanks for being such a great pal and fellow creator! ❤️

[@ScorpioCesarcade]

Loved the podcast! Anytime I get to hear about others collecting habits and what it means to them is always a great time!

[@ColdNightsGaming]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️

[@flippingtheswitch]

Three of my favorite peeps on the internet all in one place? This was one for the ages. Thanks, folks!

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Appreciate your support and kind words, Zoo! ❤️

[@DrGamingPlays]

Nice to watch a discussion among the three of you and three of my favorite creators. I didn't have a sense of what gatekeeping was (though I have heard the term) until I watched this.

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Yeah, so many people try to make this an unwelcoming space for others. Positivity can thwart these efforts! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@infernofoxgaming10]

Excellent discussion, my friends! Love seeing great KZbin content creators come together to discuss great games🤩

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Definitely always fun to sit down and talk shop with good friends! Thanks for watching, Fox! ❤️

The first topic is interesting. I lost my PS2 since my parents (and me) moved a lot. I can only save my Xbox360 and few games. Now I try to build small Switch library. I'm not sure whether I should value it, since I'm going to sell some when Switch2 coming out 🤔 The second half about gatekeeping and negativity on social media, imo, it's nothing new. There's always people complaining, even when we got a really good news. I don't know, whether they're having a bad day or just sore loser 😅 Anyway, good conversation. It's good for you having Branden and Emily as your friend, I can tell they're nice people and being around nice people can make you a nice guy too 😊👍

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Sorry to hear you lost your stuff! 😢 They are great folks and we have a great time when we sit down for these discussions! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@robinsegers7985]

great insights and nice to have some positivity :). Enjoyed the takes on collecting. Would love some more of this in the future!

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Thanks so much for tuning in! For sure, the channel's new direction is collection list videos and podcasts focused more on collecting with other YTers! ❤️

Such a good podcast. The fomo is real for me too. I'm trying to hold myself to only buying a new game once I've finished a game. Only exception is if a game I really want goes on sale for less than $10.00 on the eshop. Still makes it tough since I really want to buy physical copies of games when I can and sometimes I feel like I need to buy the game before the physical copy goes out of stock.

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Yeah, that fomo can be tough. I'd like to say I'm making progress in fighting it, but I'm not lol Thanks for watching! 😎

[@90shandheldgamer]

Stellar Blade!? Grrrrrr!!!! Arrrrrgh! 😂 Great podcast. I can definitely relate to the collecting addiction. Lots of great topics you all touched on.

[@ColdNightsGaming]

For sure, sometimes I just can't help myself at the game store! Thanks for listening! 😎

[@ReturnToMotherBase]

About an hour in - this is an excellent discussion!

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for tuning in! 😎

[@Ngamergal]

I'm glad I finally got to sit down an bison to the whole pod cast. I played Hogwarts because Im a Harry Potter Fan I understand why people wouldn't want to be I came from a generation were everyone is allowed to have an option but you don't have to hate them for it you can just agree to disagree and move on. Great podcast guys.

[@ColdNightsGaming]

For sure. People have to be allowed to make their own decisions without being guilted. Thanks so much for listening! ❤️

[@unconditionallove3820]

Awesomeness, my favorite peeps in video game land. Enjoyed the laughter and seeing yall in this light. 💕

[@ColdNightsGaming]

We definitely always have a good time when we get together! Thanks for watching! 😎

[@uppernimbus]

Loved this podcast, guys! Game collecting and game curating is definitely something I do and think about almost on a daily basis, lol. I'd say it's also an addiction for sure 🤣

[@ColdNightsGaming]

"If I have no free will, how can I be morally culpable, I wonder.." Another famous Aussie, Nick Cave! It is totally an addiction and crutch for me. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@sleepytwiggaming]

Unicorn Overlord is amazing and you all need to play it lol

[@ColdNightsGaming]

It is up next, right after Eiyuden for me! Thanks for watching! 😎

[@TheMonsterReviews]

Great conversation here guys. Agreed with a lot of what ya'll were saying. Emily makes great vids and Gems seems like a cool dude. Can't lie I laughed at the "libary" thing but somehow that happening doesn't surprise me at all. Keep it up! 😂👍

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Yeah, great folks! I laughed at first, and then I was like 'This guy is being mean and smug to the max' lol I'm over it now, it joins the YT war stories lol Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@AgentCooper1982]

Two of my favorite KZbinrs 👍🎉

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Hope you enjoy! 😎

[@RadBashGaming]

Another great podcast! You can tell y'all are legit friends 🤘I agree with making friends with other creators but you gotta be careful because some people just pretend to be cool with you so that you will support the stuff they put out, I recently cut out people who I could tell didn't really care about me just what I could do for them 🤷🏻‍♂️ that said I have some solid friends that I have made because of content creation 🤘

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Yeah, it can be rough. Thanks for watching, bro! 😎

[@RadBashGaming]

@@ColdNightsGaming no problem amigo💀🤘

[@ClaytonMorris]

Nice! Can't wait to listen tonight after a long day of work.

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Appreciate you checking it out! Hope you enjoy! 😎

[@Hectendo_]

Good stuff good stuff! I've always wanted to know what video game collectors would do with their massive collection when they go to gaming heaven. bro the hogwarts controversy so bad and annoying lmao xenoblade 2 and 3 o: nice choices. i cant wait to play these on switch 2 hoping they get a backwards compatible upgrade nice episode stay creepy.

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Yeah, planning is great. And don't forget, us content creators cannot ever share our opinions on game controversies because either the left or the right will surely come for us, or even both when they get confused about which side they are supposed to be on. 😆

[@jedikitteh]

A great podcast!

[@ColdNightsGaming]

Thanks so much for watching! 😁
