wow....that thread makes that forum look so damn hateful....if I ever get into collecting for the neo geo (I own one but do not have the interest to start buying many games for it at the moment) reading that thread makes me never want to post there.
I also love how that one guy comments that you are not a collector unless you basicaly own $1,000+ games....are you serious?
Well i you tell right now i post there and i have gotten many good deals for mvs carts at the site Still it's a tough crowd there and that's how it flows.Some people can,be very elitest about collecting and playing for it.Then you have the ones like myself...who don't take it too seriously and is laid back about it.Still from what i've watch of the (HCG) videos he is out to share his enthusiasm for the games and console that he enjoys.Not so much to give you a complete history lesson.Originally Posted by PDorr3
Ill take your word for it and subscribed to him.
I subscribed after watching the Dragon Quest 4 review. Afterwards I watched the video showing his video game music collection and his top 10 RPG battle music.
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
Read this thread bout a month ago and watched all the videos. Really enjoy them. Since Yakumo stopped doing RetroCore haven't watched any gaming TV. But these were really enjoyable, especially with Robman. And from that, I started watching Pete Dorr's channel as well (recognised the name from the forums also). Really good stuff too. Good work.
I love the happy console gamer. I sent him an email the other day thanking him for his quality reviews. I asked him if he could do a Metal Slug series; he said maybe in the future. I also asked him if he buys things for his reviews or does he just pull them from his collection. I also asked him how much he spends on games in a given month. He first said that he only reviews games he has and doesn't buy them to review them, and he also said he spends about $300 a month on games (I am guessing Canadian). He is a serious collector.
I will continue to watch all his episodes and tell people about him if the opportunity arrises. Most people try to be somebody else when reviewing games on YouTube. I just think he is being himself.

I messaged him as well, as I really enjoy his videos, and I figure that it was an opportunity to get a response before he gets too big to keep up with emails, like the AVGN or HVGN. I really like his game reviews, as they don't seem scripted and he seems to be genuinely passionate about everything he says. However, I don't really have a huge interest in seeing the stuff in his collection (mostly because I'm not really into anime, soundtracks or most current systems), so I wish he'd stick more to actual reviews.
I didn't know that he's Canadian. Right on. What province? Any idea?
Either BC or Victoria, can't remeber which.
Victoria isn't a province, it's a city in the province of British Columbia.
Opps, my mistake. So he's defiantly in BC, and he may live in the city of Victoria. I heard him say where he lived in one of his videos.
I just checked his profile from his user page on youtube and he's in Vancouver BC.

It shows how sparsely populated certain parts of Canada is though, when you can mix up cities and provinces (I can't say I wouldn't have done it myself).
United States tank rush time! Oil oil oil
New video, Last Alert and Final Zone II for the Turbo Grafx CD-ROM.
joe should hire this guy to work along with the Nerd at digitpress events, i could see them being friends and working some kind of angle into the videos.
it would be cool to see HCG and AVGN sitting at a table talking about some crappy games.
HCG did a good job with BlueStinger in that regard

Both Joe and the Nerd are in NJ. HCG is in Victoria, Canada.
He's probably the bastard who raids all the local thrifts!
Also, Vancouver and Victoria tend to get mixed up a LOT. Victoria is the capital of the province, and is on Vancouver Island. Vancouver is the biggest city, but is NOT on Vancouver island - it's on the mainland. So he may well be in Vic.
Lots of online stuff (Facebook, etc) doesn't have an option for Victoria but usually has Vancouver - so people from here tend to pick that as the closest location. Because god knows we don't want people to think we're from SEATTLE.

<Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares
Still have to check this guy out, but it sounds like I'll enjoy his stuff. I was dumbstruck by the venom HCG received over at the neo-geo boards. Less than the venom, I was struck by this guy's statement:
22 games for the Fairchild F? This person loses nerd points when he forgets how many games were released for the Fairchild... especially since they're numbered and go up to 26.Originally Posted by ulasamosa
"I've got a boxed complete Fairchild Channel F with 18 of the 22 games released. Now thats something to care about."(well, maybe he's in a different country and the number released there was different, though I don't know why I should give him the benefit of the doubt.)
Anyway thanks for posting reference to HCG, looking forward to enjoying his vids.
