Avid pool shooter... Master of DORIFTO... God of LEGO Racers... He is the most interesting KZbinr in the world. (Hopefully, Vectrex replies with something along the lines of "I don't always X, but when I do, Y.")

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks for watching everyone! In case you're wondering, yes the cracks on the car's windshield are real. Happened many years ago...

[@silenceenigma587]

Maybe your character is named Determination Nathan? I dunno *flips keyboard*

[@TufteMotorsport]

Still have the Taurus I see

[@Vectrex4Life]

Actually I sold the 2003 Taurus to a friend of mine. That scene was filmed at his house. I now have a 2016 Ford Escape. Though I'm glad to have kept the Taurus around and before the windshield was replaced so that scene could be filmed.

[@TufteMotorsport]

Ah!

[@Vectrex4Life]

***** Nice! It is a pretty awesome game.

[@longarmsshow]

A new Vectrex video always puts a smile on my face. I had no idea you were so good at pool! Those shots in the opening were really impressive! This whole video was a lot of fun! Your consistency at making constantly entertaining content is staggering, but I know that I definitely don't take that for granted. Keep up the amazing work, Jason! =)

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you so much, Marc, it really means a lot! It is a pleasure to provide these videos for such awesome fans/creators like you! Those shots weren't easy to do and some were completely unintentional (0:31, 19:18) haha. =)

[@trumangraham2602]

The year of birth ends at 2020 because they knew that's when the world would end.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Holy crap I never realized that, haha. (Or before you commented on my Dinosaur Games video). Conspiracies, man!

[@angelriverasantana7755]

No matter how much time passes, I'll always give this a watch. Especially cuz 9 Ball Championship Shootout is one of my fave games thanks to this vid

[@RanFuRe]

This was put together extremely well. High production quality. I never thought anybody could make me care about pool games, but you actually did :)

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words.

[@Dave-ks9ig]

5:06 i made a promise to myself to come and see this video again in 2020

[@Alanzice]

Never thought that a review about a pool game could be so entertaining. Great job, sir!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@primeradagon1306]

5:05 the fact that the years end at 2020 kinda disturb me a bit

[@heavy_ang_patay]

Someone actually made cue guns. Video is called "I made the world's most powerful pool stick"

[@Vectrex4Life]

Holy crap that's great! Thanks for sharing!

[@nameless8692]

Dude, those shots of you playing pool was nice.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks man!

[@jamesrustler16]

Awesome vid as usual, you are one sweet pool player in the game and irl. Can't wait for the next forgotten games!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Haha thanks. They weren't totally easy, some of them took a while to pull off. Thanks for watching!

[@jamesrustler16]

Vectrex4Life I can imagine. Of course man, thanks for making this series!

[@retiredchannel4387]

YESSS! I WAS WATCHING FORGOTTEN GAMES A MOMENT AGO AND I REFRESHED AND A NEW ONE CAME OUT

[@Vectrex4Life]

Today just happened to be the day! Haha.

[@FireAntoniyo]

I am ashamed of myself for missing this video!!! Now that I've finally seen it, awesome job! Those are some impressive shots at the begging!

[@Vectrex4Life]

No worries man! Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@dylanwilkins480]

Loved the video! The cant get a good shot was my favorite part.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mark-se9qe]

i love this channel

[@coolmanjohnson915]

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you!

[@sergeantpanther678]

This is one of your best videos to date.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks!

[@sergeantpanther678]

Your live-action segments in particular have never been better!

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

this video was well made. i can tell it took a lot of time to put together. what a fun game.

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I have a good time

[@TufteMotorsport]

Really enjoyable review as usual, reminds me of old school Doug Walker. Keep up the good work!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheVoiceOfChaos]

this dude is the new avgn

[@Vectrex4Life]

Haha thanks! He is a big inspiration of mine.

[@SQGReviewShow]

Great video, Vectrex. Nice pool setup you have in your house. :)

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks! And yes, my favorite part is the glowing EXIT sign! Haha.

[@drperson12]

Vectrex4Life That exit sign made it look like you went to some public place to play pool, lol.

[@Vectrex4Life]

+The Side Quest Gamer I kinda did actually. This was filmed at my local rec-room. I'd love to have one, but I don't actually have the room for a real pool table! Though I do have a cue stick, ball set and triangle rack. Haha.

[@drperson12]

Awesome as usual! Keep up the great work man!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you so much man!

[@funcamp_ltd.]

Another amazing episode, Vectrex.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you! I'm glad with how this one turned out.

[@MangoCheeseSauceMCS]

You're like JonTron that doesn't edit extra time spaces, I like that! Indeed your ideas are corny and superb, I subscribed. Thank you for making my day. ^^

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Lego88fan]

another great video by you and I didn't know that game existed to be honest

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks!

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

I like Maximum Pool by Sierra, and I wish it got re-released on GOG. But anyway, good review as always Vectrex! You're really shaping up to be a new generation of Lazy Game Reviews!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Cool, that one does look pretty sweet! Thanks for watching!

[@LinkoVideo]

All the jokes were spot on! I quite enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work, Vec!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tombskater3000]

I got that PMRants joke at the beginning... the bit about the unboxing... except he was unboxing Chronicle on BluRay.

Sick retro look you're sporting.

[@CaptainLL3097]

WOOHOO! Vexxy is back at it again with the FG!(FG=Forgotten Games) And another music video! It takes long, but it's so worth it! You need to be a bit more richer, friendo.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Haha thanks for watching! What do you mean by richer?

[@CaptainLL3097]

I mean get more money for your videos.

[@chamesy4102]

So good

[@syafiqzr7326]

Only goes to 2020..... Let that sink in

[@jimmy-yr9eo]

For the next forgotten games you should do the original Homeworld Created by Relic Entertainment in 1999. Excellent Vid btw

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks. I'm already working on the next episode.

[@letsplayer247]

Good job keep up the good work

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks dude!

[@Benzinilinguine]

So Cuphead is the Dark Souls of 9 Ball Shootout?

[@SPG69]

The game only went up to 2020 because... Well... You know why.

[@zackstopzackstop8091]

ŤHƏ PŘŒÇƏÝ Ï§ ŤŘŰƏ

[@ninjacat230]

5:05 nice

[@rikpeek6664]

whatch out, jack hammer is still on you.

[@slingshotkurt8474]

thrillville had a kick ass pool mini game.

[@NoahLoLer]

I prefer your videos to caddicarus and brutalmoose

[@kei_nishimaru]

Watching this in 2020, now you can no longer play this game if you’re born after it

[@KudosK42]

Just like Lego. You can't play if you are 100 years old

[@garry12gg]

What video does 7:07 come from?

[@Vectrex4Life]

This one. watch?v=iEH9AXjmd8M

[@garry12gg]

Vectrex4Life Thanks! I was able to search for the video ID.

[@stephenbanyar6763]

9 Ball is the Bunta Fujiwara of pool.

[@sleepy8500]

Wow the game knew all these years that 2020 is the end

[@sergeantpanther678]

Wonderful Unboxing parody.

[@1Soniccool]

There is Virtual Pool another pool game that is pretty good and the camera moves with the white ball

[@Kacpa2]

5:15 Is that very crudely drawn red Toyota Celica from 1990? xD

[@diegzzcastelo647]

Kacpa2 i think its an mr2 or a lamborghini diablo

[@chippyho1232]

Why hasn't he been picked up by Normalboots or some other network?

[@007.henry_]

10:11 the scariest part

[@TROOPER685HD]

that was an awesome video! :) How long did it take to made it?

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks! I had a good portion of the script written a little over a year ago, but work picked up again on it last September.

[@TROOPER685HD]

wow :o thats insane how much work you put into your videos! But the videos are very good :) I like them a lot! I hope my grammar is not very bad :D I'm from germany but I watch many english speaken videos like yours :) - most I look wrestling ^^

[@Vectrex4Life]

I appreciate the kind words! Your grammar is excellent haha.

[@TROOPER685HD]

okey ^^

[@Iamqjr]

Is it me, or did you get a new camera? BTW I've been really enjoying your videos!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks! My "camera" is a Samsung Galaxy S2. I've been using it since the Shadow President episode.

[@WuschelofDespair]

Vectrex4Life your Videos look surprisingly good for such a crappy camera. Do you have any motivations to upgrade or are you fine with that camera? Even a new smart phone should be an upgrade, these days there are a lot of inexpensive options luckily

[@zakuiikai683]

He was jacking his hammer, get it?

[@JohnSmith-kn5xx]

Another video. :D

[@retr0splace]

is that an avgn reference at 6:27

[@DogeGaming26]

Might be.

[@RandomCat125]

it's 2020 now

[@CaptainLL3097]

Was the "everyone stopped giving a shit" part real or edited in?

[@TF2Starlight]

#MoreForgottenGames

[@Vectrex4Life]

Don't you worry, they're coming!

[@nbcinteractive2334]

Can you review Lego rock raiders?

[@Vectrex4Life]

The LEGO games marathon is over.

[@nbcinteractive2334]

***** Oh,ok. That's understandable

[@SpeedsonicOddTristan]

Cue guns. Replace the C with a P. Pue Guns.

[@derrickfoltz8555]

1:19 you go to a bar, and you get kicked out because you suck! 😆

[@MustacheMaster]

It is now 2020 5:04

[@nbcinteractive2334]

What program do you use to edit your videos?

[@Vectrex4Life]

Adobe Premiere Pro CC

[@rjk81699]

what about the one one the phones

[@Vectrex4Life]

What?

[@rjk81699]

you didn't mention the pool games on phones

[@Vectrex4Life]

Oh. I was just talking about arcade pool games.

[@JohnSmith-kn5xx]

When's the next vid? :/

[@Vectrex4Life]

Soon! I'm projecting it to be done by the end of the month.

[@Thanejdhdjd]

Who is watching this in 2020 and a date of birth ends on 2020 :)

[@RandomCat125]

Hey vectrex4life review a n64 game.

[@Joyless]

Jesus dude where do you get this shit from!?

[@Vectrex4Life]

Haha I randomly saw the PCBs on eBay and thought they looked pretty cool from the gameplay. Had no idea they'd make for a good episode!

[@arcadereviews8854]

I WANT YOUR VIEWS!

[@gookie9001]

No ending that's so bad KILL ME!

[@arcadereviews8854]

DAMN this game is JUST *ASSSSSSS*
