The Game Store Owner Who Buys More Than He Sells (By PeteDorr)

[@dirgeofthedawn]

Seriously dude - really good job. This is extremely well-produced. You've definitely learned your craft!

[@shaunhoulden7613]

Your journalism is getting more and more professional with each video you post! Very impressive Pete, and points to Mike for being so open.

[@yoeycrack1]

ive never even heard of this place and i loved just a few towns away from Massapequa i might check it out

[@PeteDorr]

You may see me there sometime, I am definitely going to become a regular there.

[@yoeycrack1]

do you live on the island or the state cuz im in suffix county

[@CStove]

This was great, Pete. You are very talented. And thanks to Mike for allowing everyone to hear his story. We're all behind you. :)

[@JakeAndKamHaveIssues]

Another fantastic 'micro' doc on a very interesting person and business. I think you've found something really unique with these videos and I truly hope you make this a series. Looking forward to the next one!

[@kylegam3broz9]

Another fantastic mini-doc Pete! It's amazing how many people have such interesting video game stories to tell.

[@mijumaru97]

I'm happy this (and their physical store) is 20 min away. Those people are so kind. :)

[@kevpowful]

Very well edited. Easy to watch. Great story. Very professional. Good job!

[@ThatOneGamerGuy31]

I really hope these documentary type videos are a regular thing at least for a while, very well executed.

[@cpnnpr]

Incredible that you made this documentary. Thanks Pete.

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

We need more videos like this on youtube. Great news quality documentary segments. Keep up the good work!

[@nintendokings]

Awesome video Pete. It just flows so well, like your last few interviews. What a way to combine gaming, filming and journalism.

[@dcashley303]

There's nothing even close to this in the UK... Looks amazing. I can completely sympathise with his situation, I've known those feelings many times. Another great short film Pete.

[@chinezeFURY]

I really like these documentary-style videos, keep up the good work Pete.

[@prankster101]

I like these kind of documentaries... Have you ever thought about doing a full scale documentary on a game shop or a scene - almost like 'Sound it Out' - the documentary on the record shop in Teeside (UK)?

[@Scottsquatch]

Wow Pete, this video was fantastic. Really great job on it and interesting story about Mike.

[@TheGamingShelf]

Very cool and interesting video, Pete! I know it takes a lot of work to make something like this. Looking forward to more.

[@garnetbezanson1404]

that guy has a black sabbath shirt INSTANT RESPECT

[@jimvw2147]

Garnet Bezanson i agree

[@Apensaus123]

Wow so much respect for this guy, I really hope things get better soon

[@Killerrevue]

I'm actually from this area and I have to say that this store is awesome!!! Mike and the rest of the employees are incredibly helpful and super friendly. Plus the prices are more than fair and they let you try out a game if you are unsure if you'll like or if you don't know if it will work. They do a lot of repairs and mods too which is cool such as making a japanese only n64 game work on my american n64. Highly recommend this store. Great vid and it was really interesting to learn more about the store!

[@Razhakful]

Is the store still in business?

[@ASennaFan]

Very inspiring story and well done, I could see a longer version of this appearing on 60 Minutes or something.

[@holycrapdude900]

That was really well done. Like a documentary. You should do more vids like this. Really enjoyed it!!

[@_BELMONT_]

PeteDorr i really enjoy these short documentaries that you do :) thanks Pete!

[@brementer]

Nice story and very well put together Pete. It has that 60 minutes feel to it.

[@BlaizeV]

best one yet Pete. Really well filmed and edited.

[@DZR3WIND]

Wow! the quality of the video is really good! Keep it up Pete!

[@GumballamiyumiChannel]

Very well done Pete. I enjoy these types of videos. The editing was really professional too. I would really love to visit this store. I feel bad for him...

[@grill_dad]

This was awesome! I want to see more of these. It was so captivating.

[@sickelbow]

I love these new videos on different human stories. Definitely keep it up!

[@GamerNRetro]

I think that's a problem with a lot of game store owners is they see it as a way for them to boost their own collection rather than use it to make money.

[@markn1090]

Great video Pete, really like these ones you have been putting together, very professional.

[@PotbellyPunch]

This is an awesome video format. I loved it!

[@Blaowser]

wow. this is really well done. feels like a news report. great job

[@HonestPhil]

Should have put the adress of the shop in the description.

[@ThatGuyWalkingBy]

I'd like to go to this store now. Pete, you're doing such a good job on these documentary pieces. Loving them! Maybe it's because they're in the gaming genre, I don't know for sure. XD Good job either way man, keep up the good work.

[@BotzaBrand]

Excellent video. Well crafted. Correspondent type shit :) Keep it up and best of luck

[@AnnoyingNavi]

Hi botza.

[@AnnoyingNavi]

#zerotolerance

[@Zach_Archer]

Bunnyhood Botza Brand Fancy seeing you boys here

[@AnnoyingNavi]

Well, cheers!

[@IWILLSTINGI]

This piece was very well done. You've earned yourself a new subscriber.

[@Messy817]

I can relate to this a lot with myself having bipolar disorder. As much as I hate to admit my initial motivation for collecting was because of it and honestly I feel the potential to become a border. Now I have it mostly under control by giving my self standers and requirements for buying games and it helps me not slip into a where I only collect to buy stuff. It does help me out a bunch though. When I'm manic I feel like a kid again with all the games I have to play and to direct my extra energy into something enjoyable and less damaging. When I'm depressed sometimes I just look at everything I own until I find that one key item that helps to put a smile on my face because of the memories I have with it. Like a mental disorder my collecting has become a major part of my life but if there's anything iv learner from my experience with it all its that you have to fight to keep control of yourself otherwise you end up as nothing more than a game without a score or achievements.

[@TheLastLineLive]

great vid, but this reminds me so much of a news channel segment lol, but I guess it shows how good you've gotten with your production.

[@covcomm1]

He needs a buddy who can manage the business side for him. We gamers need places like this.

[@ryanmusicartist]

Oh my god I didn't know you lived on Long Island... I've been there like once because I live like 2 hours away. I love this place

[@TwodeeTwodimensional]

These videos are great. Keep em coming, Pete.

[@bzd1983]

good video man, nice length, editing, narration, all that. Didn't know you were a long islander too.

[@osotogariman3416]

This is the type of guy that i admire and respect !!

[@RetroSnoop]

I am really enjoying the documentaries! Wish to watch more :D

[@Anything-butOrdinary]

Pete, do you make these videos entirely on your own, such as recording the footage and editing it? I don't really know about your life/experience background but it seems like you have some sort of news reporter sort of background.

[@PeteDorr]

Everything is done entirely on my own. I received my associates in visual art and will soon be finishing my bachelor's with a degree in journalism.

[@zouber]

PeteDorr Tell that guy not to spend more than he sells because we wish him the best

[@feasttree]

I love this shop! One of the best on Long Island for sure.

[@supermariozzzzzzzzzz1403]

You make really good documentaries Pete.

[@ScreamoPichu]

These videos are awesome! I'm completely cool with more like this coming to your channel. c:

[@ZygonCannar]

His problem doesn't really sound like bipolarism, just something similar. Stuff like that is really hard to nail down what it is, so I understand that his doctors might have told him that he is bipolar. I had a very similar situation, and it turned out that the meds they gave me caused most of my problems. Once I got off the meds, I found that I was actually fine. That's the school system for you. I didn't pay attention in class, so they put me on that endless hell of trying to 'cure' me. Anyways, this got a little off topic. He might not actually be bipolar, was my point. It might be something else. Anyways. It was a good film, and your direction on their employees made it feel very professional quality, I was impressed.

[@zeldatreasury6519]

Well we don't know the whole story just from a 3 minute snapshot of this guys life, but I would agree 'bipolar disorder' is way over diagnosed. It's rare to have unipolar mania- but does happen. It's probably more likely he has OCD or an impulse control disorder.

[@TaoPhysiques]

ZygonCannar Are you sure? I mean the guy is talking pretty fast, he spends his money without thinking, and he doesn't get much sleep. Doesn't that sound right or is it something else?

[@corybaxterismydad7000]

He seems hypomanic - not manic.

[@hiei4084]

great video nice to see someone doing something he loves and the fact he calls it a hobby instead of a job means he really enjoys it.

[@krikit]

Excellent work, I worry about the store being below land level. Hope it's easy to evac if theres flooding.

[@omarules14]

I love these videos Pete! If I was ever in New York. I would go and buy from this guy

[@80085word69]

I live on Long Island, been meaning to check this place out

[@PrinceDavid]

Oh wow I will have to stop by here sometime, sounds like a really cool store. Same town as All American burgers so good motivation.

[@Franchise2930]

the hours at the store also change from week to week. I get a mass text updating me his new hours all the time.

[@charlesmiller8718]

wow i live like 15 mins from here and never knew this shop existed, def. gonna have to check it out

[@VectrexRoli]

Very well produced Pete. Very interesting!

[@foxhound6364]

0:25 What is that strange $100 bill with the vertical 100 on it? Our currency is becoming more ridiculous looking as time goes on. What was wrong with the old design?

[@gavin80001]

It's to prevent counterfeited money.

[@foxhound6364]

But can't counterfeiters just make copies of the older bills anyway? It isn't like they are taking the old ones out of circulation, are they?

[@thomasstodghilliv]

Nice to see another interesting small documentary! Where is this store? I'd like to visit this place.

[@Tanerion]

This was edited more like a news report rather than a documentary. Not what I expected but I liked it nonetheless : )

[@SuperJTthunder]

Another interesting video! Can't wait to see more content like this.

[@oncecursed1]

Really awesome and professional video Pete!

[@OtakuKota]

Would really like to visit this shop one day. looks like so many things. Feel sorry for this guy he will never advance.

[@footloose20005]

It really is a shame that he is spending more than he sells because it would be awesome to have a shop like that both as a customer and also as a shop owner

[@LPPanther]

These are really awesome man, like the 60 Minutes of video gaming. Really great work Pete. I'm about to graduate with a degree in sound technology, we should partner up haha.

[@reemCGR]

LPPanther what is "the 60 Minutes of video gaming" ??

[@LPPanther]

There is an investigative journalism TV show called 60 Minutes. Pete's videos like this one are like a video game focused version of that show.

[@reemCGR]

LPPanther oh i see thank you for telling me :)

[@LPPanther]

no problem!

[@MichaelTermini]

Amazing... Your documentaries are amazing...

[@frankunderwood8641]

The real question...did kevin bring him another water?

[@DKomnicide]

Love all the perler art! I've made quite a few myself

[@cilonen]

Love everything about your filming and editing Pete, only suggestion I can think of is to ditch the stock iMovie titles.

[@STEEVEWES]

I like your coverages

[@SkylerB]

Im manic and have borderline personality so this speaks to me a lot. great short Pete!

[@itsakrause]

I live around 10 minutes away from this place and its really a great store! I go there a lot

[@PatootyPanda]

That's it. I'm moving to massapequa.

[@TheRinkashi]

very nice video, great production. thanks for sharing!

[@davidmorrie631]

You are really talented dude, this is amazing!

[@001-D]

Interesting Video I Have Bi Polar As well and dealing with that and living sometimes can be difficult . Yet there are many alternatives I am glad that he is a positive example of that . Great Video Mr Dorr !!

[@machinegunbliss]

Bithead1000 did a video tour on this place. Cool to see more about it.

[@ArcadeSTG]

"he buys way more than he sells" best introduction ever!

[@gameandwaffle8753]

This is definitely my favorite one, keep it up Pete

[@ducati5758]

[@judlavault]

[@ChrisMerola]

[@philosophyoftrucking]

PBS News Hour for video games. I love it.

[@Glasstionempire]

[@gmadera7]

[@dannyrubio1114]

great video, love game shop stories, hope things improve for him

[@cedricantunes4600]

Aw, would have loved to go to his shop and buy so many stuffs~ :3

[@LethallyEpic15]

Is this a school project? If not have you thought about doing stuff like this on a regular basis for the channel you do a really good job with gaming journalism and i really enjoy these vids

[@PeteDorr]

I have plans to continue this in the future even after college is over.

[@Ninten70]

I wanna check this place out! I'm having Flashbacks of Funco Land.

[@KawaiiGames]

I have similar problem when I go to Ebay! :D

[@juddnearhood6581]

[@mrbubbles6336]

[@mahk4415]

This definetly deserves a like. I know its bad to be wasting so much money on those games but he has a great strategy and thats a hobbie i would want to do when im older. Also i live 20 min away from where it is and whats they open up again i may go.
