Hey guys! Welcome to the FINAL SEASON for the "Main Series" of My Retro Life. There are around 12 full length episodes I have planned for this season. These are different from the "Story Time" episodes I produce in front of my camera, telling you a story that doesn't have a ton of Dad's footage. I thought we'd kick things off with this Resident Evil Gamecube episode, seeing as how the brand new RE 4 remake drops this week! Thank you for for your amazing support over the years. You have no idea how much it means to my family to read your comments. Don't worry, after the "Main Series" ends, there are still tons of stories to tell and videos to produce. Also - BIG NEWS ahead. Stay tuned!

Seeing you relaxed on the couch playing a horror game takes me back, in a strange way. Where you didn't have any responsibilities, worries, and all you had in front of you was your game. No smart phones or distractions.

Probably hear it a million times, but your Dad was really awesome. I couldn’t imagine having someone that passionate about the same hobby I loved, especially my Dad.

Even 21 years later, the game graphics is still incredible. Resident Evil remake aged so well.

your dad must've kept track of what was popular at the time and what would fit your taste. Not many adults have the time and energy to pull it off. The amount of love and commitment he put into making your childhood a happy one is commendable.

It’s sweet that your dog could sense that you were a little stressed while playing the game and she was trying to comfort you. 😍

I love seeing these 90s-early 2000s videos, you are so lucky to have this footage man, I wish I did.. I'm only 2 years older than you and have a brother your age so these videos hit home .. thanks for sharing them

Still can't believe how incredibly lucky you are to have had a father care this much about your hobbies and film things to document it all. Incredible.

Bro... why is your content so emotional. It's just all the life lessons and curves and reflections you throw in. Really well done and narrated and edited. Being a kid of divorce and remarriages who was born in 1990.. some of this is just really close to home and tears me up.

5:03 man opening cd boxes back in the days felt so premium and priceless.. golden era of gaming is gone for a long time already realising it now.

Its amazing how this was all well documented in 2002 before all this social media stuff thank you so much for these memories that most people never recorded since it was hard to record things back then.

Resident Evil is that tip-of-the-spear nostalgia for me. The game I still have is RE2 for the N64, the cartridge was underwater during Hurricane Katrina and it still works. Later on, I walked around outside when people were gutting their houses, and I found RE Director's Cut for the PS1 on the street. That series kept me sane.

This has got to be one of the coolest/best channels in the history of KZfaq. The footage is surreal, the relationship with your dad is next level, and your touch with editing and contextualizing everything puts it over the top. Hits me in the heartstrings every damn time.

This warms my heart i grew up watching my big bro play these games as a child he passed away in 2018 🙏🏻 .. it was like watching a horror movie back then

Resident Evil was something consistent in my life when my dad gave me his old copy of Resident Evil 2 I couldn't stop playing it.

yeah dude you had an awesome dad and i love watching these its like going back in time for a brief moment almost makes me cry when were kids we all wanna rush too grow up and be independent but what we didnt know is simple memories like these were some of the best times of our lives i dont have footage but similar memories ingrained in my mind. Also RIP gamer dad much love and respect

Tyler you did it again bro . I don’t how you do it ! The editing , the timing of RE songs playing in the background , even your voiceover sounds like it came from the 90’s . God bless and enjoy all the success and people you are blessing with this old footage . Nostalgia bomb !

These videos are so epic. Very rare to see videos from the past when home video cameras were still rare.

I'm so happy for you. You're so lucky to have this footage! Resident Evil Remake is such a gem, a true masterpiece. Your dad reminds mine, he always cared a lot for me and was always gifting me with tons of games. Ah, also, Jade was such a sweet dog. I love the love you both shared. Playing videogames with your family (pets included, of course) has no price.

Those little moments of you guys just being kids are what I love the most about these videos. A lot of commenters give your dad credit for filming a lot of those old tapes, but you deserve just as much credit for sharing them with us. You two make a great team, even this long after your pop's passing. This show is among my absolute favorites on KZfaq, it's such a rare and sincere look into what the culture was like, both for the hobby and America itself. What a treat this series is to watch, thank you Tyler, I don't doubt you and your daughter will make memories as special as these and I hope we as an audience can come along for the ride every once in a while to show some support to you and your family. One more thing, a lot of the older episodes seem to have become unlisted. I'd love to watch all of these episodes over again once the series wraps up. I noticed an extended cut of the Mega Man episode, so I'm also wondering if you have plans to do that with the rest of the older episodes?

my dad is still alive but ive been watching your videos nonstop for the nostalgia, we are no longer the gaming duo we were when i was 14, like you said, life gets complicated when you get older, I'm glad you have all these amazing memories with your pops, he seemed like such a charm, and cheers to him for getting you all these games weeks early!

I've been having a lot of anxiety about getting older and feeling like I'm stuck in the past. Constantly daydreaming about my past and making myself sad. This video really helped a lot. Memories can be made at any point in life we just need to learn to accept change and enjoy life while looking forward.

The Year Was 1996 And It Was Christmas My Nonno/Grandfather Gifted Me The Original Playstation Big Box Resident Evil What A Game Happy And Blessed Ive Been Around To See All Of The 1980s To Now

The fact that your dad recorded this and you made a video out of it is just amazing.

4:09 The happiest jumpscare ever involving Resident Evil and a dog.

I live vicariously through you in these videos you share with us. I like to think i’m right there with you and your dad during all these moments. Your dad filming all these special times is truly amazing. Always look forward to every video you post!

Still the best and most perfect remake I've ever played. Loved it on Cube. And already loved the original for ps1. This version blew me away

Im pretty sure the reason why code veronica had the moving camera angle is because it was a 3D environment. The remake was still using fixed backgrounds but it looked really good!

Hey, Tyler, it was really special to watch the last birthday that you and your Dad celebrated together alone as a gaming duo and what an awesome game to celebrate this occasion with. Being the same age, I also remember turning 16 as a significant life transition and going through so many changes but not a bad thing as you say.

that nostalgia gives me tears in my eyes man, I remember back in the days as my father bought me RE Director's cut on PS1 then followed by RE2 few years later, oh yeah and in years 98-99 when Metal Gear Solid was born a truly life/game changer - the best game ever made, and yes your Dad was exceptional example of great loving parent

It sucks how things change Tyler, life never stops evolving, even when you try to put the brakes on and enjoy it, it just keeps shoving you along. What I appreciate most is that you can show, what we all feel.

I've been following your channel for about a year and a half now, and I have deeply enjoyed these videos. Not only do they take me back to simpler times when I was a kid in the 2000s, but they also show how great of a connection you had with your dad. I hope that I can do the same when I have kids. I already have two nephews that are 9 and 4, and I try to share gaming with them. It has brought us close from the start, so I believe I'm on the right track. All the best to you and your family!

Thank you so much for sharing Tyler. Some of were going through exactly what you were going through. But these old happy times of understanding the gaming and time together just warms my heart, and remembers fond memories thanks to this.

This video brought tears in my eyes reminded me of me and my father. Thank you for sharing your memories. Unknowingly unlocked memories for so many others.

This is the most nostalgic channel ever haha

I find myself lured back to your channel almost every evening, thank you so much for your content and stories. Honestly feels like your viewers know you so personally. I think you need a family reunion video! with your cousins etc! keep up the awesome content and stay healthy and nostalgic tyler and fam!

You’re easily my favorite KZfaqr! Every time you post a NEW Video I get so excited! Always bring me back to my childhood and to more simple times. Thank you so much! Your video is like Therapy for me. Keep them coming please and thank you so much!

These videos of you and your Dad remind me of my childhood and bond I had back in the day with my old man. Keep the great videos coming man!

I have fond memories of GameCube! I was working my first job on weekends in high school and saving up for it. I was about 20 dollars short, but my grandfather was so proud of me that he covered the rest-and my grandmother bought me this REmake. I played it nonstop!

I just want too say,1st I love your videos, brings me back too my childhood days. I grew up in the mid 70's owned every system possible then. Watching ur videos it's like that was me an my dad,an I'm so sorry u lost ur dad at a young age. But my dad is in is 70's still playing today's games like hes a kid. An he don't stop till he beats the game. U rock buddy,keep the videos coming. An yes some of ur videos are tear jerkers,but in a good way.

Seeing these videos brings back a lot of memories for me. And a tear to my eye. So many birthdays and Christmas with the anticipation of getting that new game. Thank you mom and dad for all those memories I will always cherish. I miss both of you.

I was six when this game came out. I got it for Christmas that year. I was two when I played the first game and I was blown away from it being the first game I ever played and the remake just was the best gift ever.

I love the no commentary bit of just you playing while your dad is filming. It’s really touching.

I don’t usually comment on videos, but thank you for sharing your videos with us. I’m 40 years old now and to this day the best gift my father have giving to me was the nes system with Mario. I’m sure for him was seeing how happy I was when I got it. I look at your videos and it bring back the good old day. You are lucky to had a father that love you so much to see you happy. Thank you again for sharing some of your pass life.

Another amazing video. Thank you for continuing to share your life with us. A lot of us had similar times during our lives, so it's almost like we are seeing ourselves. Thank you again.

as a former poor kid without parents (met my mom at like 11) that had to struggle to rent games let alone new consoles - seeing you getting these games you love and how happy your dad seems to just be a part of it is amazing. i've watched so many of these

I love Resident Evil 4 to death but this is the definitive Resident Evil title in my heart. The atmosphere, music, how scary it still is to this day. A 10/10 Survival Horror classic.

I've never played resident evil before but I'm about to and finding this video randomly was such a heartfelt moment. It's video's like these that remind me that there is no such thing as an arbitrary moment in this life. Every moment is worth capturing if it's something you want to remember. You remind me so much of myself when I was this age unboxing metroid prime and falling in love with it. Waiting all day for my dad to get off work so we could play co op campaign video games. The early 2000's were such a brief period of time that flew by so quickly, but held so much in terms of innovation. Thank you for posting this.

Man this is so awesome. Reminds me of my mom getting me a GameCube and RE0 for Christmas one year, I’m 100% sure she had no idea what the series was about, and wasn’t really interested in it herself, but she knew I loved it.

Gosh bro thank you for sharing this. Your life story is so captivating and its cool that you have a dad that loves video games as much as you do. What’s more cool is he filmed most of your memories while playing.

You are lucky man! My dad passed away when I was 3 but I know somehow that if I would have had my pops during my teens he would have been like your dad. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It really takes us back to our childhood.

This is such an endearing video! All those clips of you and your dad was genuinely heart warming. Such a cool retrospective!

I think we all wanted a dad that took so much interest in something that you loved.

Imagine having a dad like yours...Must be Amazing, so jealous.

i was six at the time but i remember the original and the remake! My uncle was the one who got the gamecube and the game but none the less i remember it vividly. A cherished memory and it's nice to see yours recorded and unlocking my own. very cool. i love your channel.

You are so lucky of having such a awesome dad, thank you for sharing

As much as I wish I had a video of me playing my favorite games for the first time this is a close second from the similarities to both of our names being Tyler and born in April to the nostalgia of seeing those games on a crtv and everyone dressed like it’s the late 90’s or early 2000’s and shout out to your dad for keeping the camera rolling so we can see this time capsule happy early birthday my guy

As always another gem from the depths of nostalgia! I remember getting this for Christmas and freaking out over the crimson zombies!! Me and my cousin were two brave teenagers entering the after hours of Resident Evil remake. Ready for the remake to number 4, tonight!! As always Tyler…your contribution to the retro community is appreciated and priceless.

What a beautiful video... I started tearing up. 😢. You are a beautiful man and a true gamer.

Got recommended your GCN unbox video in my feed and watched this one next. Subscribed. Your Dad is the coolest. Importing from JP at that time? Baller Status.

The Great old Days! Love your vids! Thank you for sharing these days that bring back so much great memories and nostalgia

This remake blows my mind even to this day. I love to go back and play even just to stay in certain spots and enjoy the ambience. The use of lighting seems insanely well done. I love that you got to make this title into a video

This game was my childhood dream for a long time but i had to wait until the hd remaster in 2015 to play it because i couldn't have a gamecube. And it became my favortie RE game ever. What a cool dad you have.

That re1 theme music, takes me back to simpler time. Back when my mom was alive😢

Love these videos Tyler! Your narration gives these videos emotion and heart

Your channel is incredible , I follow it from Brazil and I remember a lot from when I was a child , simply fantastic , Congratulations and do not stop !! See you soon .

Resident Evil Remake is one of my favorites games ever, and the RE saga as a whole has been a very important part of my childhood; im 29 now and its really beautiful to come across this type of videos, one of the best YT channels out there, keep up the good work!

I love this channel because of the nostalgia I get from this especially resident evil my mom is the one who got me into Resident evil this video hits home I’m glad you and your father captured a beautiful time in gaming history thank you for sharing your life with us bro 💯💯

Man, it's amazing all the footage your dad had. It's always so cool to see these time-capsules of gaming history

The nostalgia, thanks for sharing. Also you have a cool Dad. Glad you guys enjoyed it together.

I choked up watching how u and ur dad were together. My dad and I were the same he bought me re0 and the hd remake. I’d sit there and record myself on vhs all the time. Thank u for sharing

Love your content! Seeing 16yr old you getting jumped scared by the Zombie around the corner warmed my survival horror heart ❤️

Your channel gives me The Wonder Years vibes, its awesome!

Wonder what “Dad” would think of the recent Resident Evil Remake Series on Modern Consoles. Especially since they made it so you can move that camera around to help your field of vision.

I don't really ever comment on youtube but I feel you on this. I may not have experienced the same things but I can somewhat understand what you experienced. It does change a lot when you get older but that is cool to see that you have a family that you can experience new things and share some of the old things with now. I don't have any old home movies like that unfortunately so the only thing I can share is my stories. That is awesome that your parents still filmed all those memories, def something to cherish.

I love that your Dad thought to record these types of moments, very similar reaction/age to me and my 2 brothers with my dad but we never recorded. So this is awesome to see and brings a tear to my eye! 🥰

I'm so glad you still love old consoles like Nintendo consoles. I SALUTE YOU, MAN!!!

Genuinely great video. Very nostalgic and it moved me a bit, I subbed, great content man

Instantly had to subscribe, i love hearing people tell childhood stories of things they’re passionate about.

Lovely video! Reminds me of the times me, my brothers and my dad would play each resident evil game at night on the game cube those were the days!! Thank you for this video you've brought a lot of good memories back. :)

This is such an awesome, well-made video. Your storytelling here is on-point, and the nostalgia is real. Resident Evil Remake was the remake of all remakes back then. Still holds up like fine wine. Really enjoyed watching this man!

Thank you for sharing these videos, very wholesome.

It’s weird watching someone’s memorable moments as if I was right there with you.. and I was just under 2 years old in 2002. Thanks for sharing man

I was sick as hell on my 11th birthday and home from school . My mom went to get groceries , and came back in about 15 mins . I remember yelling “ what did you forget?” And she walked into my bedroom with a GameCube (Metroid Prime Bundle) and a copy of Resident Evil remake . When I tell you I was speechless , I mean literally . And then I started crying lmao . It was about a year after the remake came out and I had these two game pro magazines I would constantly read and look at cuz they had the strategy guides in them (couldn’t just watch KZfaq videos back then!) . Me and my mom were broke so I never even asked for it. I was content with playing Spyro and resident evil directors cut on my ps1 forever . But she was very involved in my interests and would read them with me and she knew I was obsessed . Ya know what , ima give my mom a call right now :) awesome video bro!

Actually the coolest Dad of all time, you two are awesome.

This was a big step in videogame history.. mindblowing graphics at its Time! Crazy u got this on tape so relaxing to Watch

Love it , I was the same age at the time. Thanks for bringing back memories my Friend.❤

A bittersweet video. Love your dad though! he loved watching you play which is the coolest thing ever. Thanks for the great uploads. Have a good day

This is so cool seeing a vlog type of video from the 2000s

I love your videos dude. They always transport me to simpler times. I watched the Metroid fusion/prime video and it hit home with the separation part too. Always tuning in!

Been a fan of your channel for awhile now, although I am slightly older than you we share that love for video games. This video reminded me so much of what I was doing when the remake dropped and thank you for that

I love this. I really do. This video not only depicts a very personal and emotional story, but also proves how video games have this immense power to serve as a shelter from the real world and at the same time make us bond with others in ways very few art forms can. I love this video so much.

I remember having it back in the day for the GameCube too it was weird to have remakes back then nowadays it's common

Very emotional and nostalgic. Nice, dude!!!

I enjoyed that. Took me back to those amazing years. I’m from the UK and I remember going to Japan in 2001 and went to Tokyo Gameshow. I remember seeing the trailer on a Capcom screen for this game. The graphics looked amazing and my jaw nearly hit the floor. It still looks great today. Thanks for these vids. They capture that perfect time when the world was a pretty cool place.

LOVED THE NEW FOOTAGE TYLER THANK YOU

Why am I just seeing your videos?!?!? It's like looking back in time at my own life. Hearing how stoked your dad was, that you could see a reflection in the mirror was awesome. I wonder if your dad worked for some sort of software company, he came in clutch with some rarities.

Takes me back to when me and my Dad were close. Horror games are what brought us together. Despite me not liking them as a child. I miss having days like this with my Dad. His mental health has deteriorated drastically. I fear he may have paranoid schizophrenia. I’m always constantly watching what I have to say around him. When I try and bring up the old days he can barely remember. I miss you Pa. Wish you’d snap out of it..

Just came across your channel, thank you KZfaq algorithm But I must say the nostalgia of the early 2000s is something special.

Oh my, didn't expect this video to resonate with me this much. Such a wholesome family experience. That dog. 😢
