oh yeah 2020 was 4 years ago i forgot

I would like to thank Tommy Tallarico and his totally real record of working on over 350 games

This is more a "fun videogame facts" book with a few records thrown in.

Most viewed single read through of the Guinness Book of World Records Gaming Edition 2020 with only human hands turning pages by a guy named Scott, any% - Scott the Woz, 2024

> "First Stealth-Action Protagonist to assassinate himself. Whose the competition?" > cuts to snake i dont think if Dominick and Scott know anything about metal gear's plot but this is actually the funniest cut ever

bowsette being archived as a legit historical event is killing me

I love that almost everyone associates the Guinness World Record Gamer’s Edition with Thomas the Tallarico Engine now

Love the fanmade model used to represent Super Mario 64 DS in the Luigi section...

Guinness doing something for gamers has the same air and whiff as Verizon doing something for gamers.

I just bought a copy of the 2008 edition. Can't wait to read the interview with the creator of Sonic and Metroid Prime, Tommy Tallarico

We’re getting dangerously close to Scott making a full blown video related to Tommy Tallarico.

- this has peak "Teacher trying to sound hip with the Youths" energy & i kinda love it - Speedrun records are kinda silly considering how competitive the scene is & how often records get beaten - so many of these "First to [blank]" records make me go "WAIT! THERE'S MORE THAN ONE OF THAT?!" - i guess "prolific" in the context of Party games means actually surviving and not just dumping 40 games on the Wii - Daisy & Luigi aren't a thing!! In fact she never really met Luigi until the Sports games - the Sonic Twitter has NEVER tried to be in-character - weirdly enough, i can think of at least 5 videogame swords bigger than the Buster Sword, 3 of them are from Dark Souls 2

I bought like an old “Popular Games Guide” from like 2016 and the best part is that it name drops the NX and it just felt good seeing that

43:24 Scott is probably the first person to say "What about Rabbids Invasion, Guinness?"

I remember constantly reading these in elementary and the only thing I remember was that one of them used a scrapped boss for Cuphead on a top 5 boss list

When the teacher said it’s required reading time and you pulled this shed out they’d just let out a deep sigh and look down

Hey, it’s the book series that Tommy Talerico got a totally legit record in of guy who’s worked on the most games in a lifetime, his mother must be very proud.

These books used to be hype high quality records and now they just write fun facts and disguise them as records. One was like ‘first jrpg character to have a scent named after them’. That’s not a record

3:21 never thought I’d see Scott acknowledge the existence of Bowsette.

Portal and Portal 2, with their female lead, undoubtably outsold HZD. As of 2012 they sold a combined 8 million physical units (Roughly 50/50 between them). They've consistently been some of the best selling games on Steam ever since they released, so I assume they're well beyond 20 million by now.

This feels like that gaming magazine Caddicarus reviewed years ago. It feels like it was made by people who don’t play video games trying to cash in on what’s popular.

19:16 hold up, something isn't right about that "sm64ds" render of Luigi that looks off (it's a sm64 fan version of Luigi instead of the sm64ds one lol)

This video is weirdly nostalgic for me as in my head I still feel like most of the games in this book came out fairly recently, but it turns out that these all came out 4+ years ago. Time flies.

The Amazon listing for this book has an option to buy a hardcover version (used), so I guess not all of the copies are paperback.

The fact we got a whole Luigi page makes me happy

glad Scott was able to pick up this amazing book written by the one and only Tommy Tallarico

This is incredible! Back in 2019 I believe it was Scott himself who got me into this book. I used to be a strictly Nintendo fan and all that wasn't Nintendo I would turn my back to, but Scott's videos also mentioned all the other companies and he said great things about all of the consoles and I learned a lot by it, so I decided I wanted to branch out on my gaming trivia knowledge, so I found this book in a bookshop and bought it for myself. Crazy how the years have passed and now we've come full circle.

22:11 Seeing Sally Acorn in the book was so surreal, especially since this was after the whole Archie Comics drama or whatever. The image of her is from issue 221, which was right before the reboot. I believe Ian Flynn wrote that story if anyone's interested and is pretty much the last romance-type piece of Sonic media since. I recommend giving it a read, just from a historical view, as it makes Sonic fans seem marginally less weird, given what Sonic once was.

This really kept me entertained while cleaning my room. This channel is my current favorite background noise.

Someday we'll see Scott on Guinness World Records for having the most games

I’m so proud of Luigi for the world record of first character to dress up as green Mario!

I love these type of videos just looking through something

00:50:57 That transition from "who's the competition here" to Snake is just perfect

Never thought I was gonna see Scott acknowledge the existence of Bowsette

i dont know how scott does it but he can talk about video games and such for hours and he is the only one i will listen to talk about it - IVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS

I'm so glad you skipped the Sonic love story part

Franchises are STILL trying to use the Pokémon Go formula. Monster Hunter Now came out recently to a resounding “ah okay”

Reminder that the reason Guinness, the beer company, started cataloguing World Records in various feats in the first place, was so that people in bars had a third-party authority they could turn to when trying to settle bar bets.

Shout out to every school Book Fair for stocking these books even though I have never seen a single person read these books

I think Mega-man was a big rental game. So it’s more popular than sales would show.

@19:17 That's not even Luigi from SM64DS, that's just a recolored Mario :')

Oh hell yeah man. Excellent birthday present, thanks Scott.

I totally forgot about Google Stadia. Used to get a lot of ads for it during the pandemic. Happy it never took off, cloud gaming is just bad for future replay-ability.

I always have collected the Guinness World Record and Gamer's Edition books whenever a new one comes out and still do to this day!

Damn you Scott, I've literally been planning to make a video exactly like this except for the 2012 edition that I've had since I bought it at the school book fair that year. Great video as always! ❤️

HL2E3 and HL3 were both cancelled. HL3 was re-started and re-cancelled at least 2 more times. The cancellations weren't very official, people just stopped working on it.

i'm proud to say that i hold the world record for being the first youtube user with the name "cerealexperimentsgrain" to comment on this video

Thank you Scott The Woz! Very cool!

What is the guiness world record for longest Scott Stash video?

34:00 Going by their logic, "Vs. Super Mario Bros." is the first console to arcade game as that released in 1986.

I remember buying these at the Scholastic Book Fair. It was so exciting bringing it home and locking myself in my room to read it back then

17:58 - Guiness World Records are played, love. You can pay them a couple dozen thousand dollars to get a record. It’s rather well known.

Its funny seeing the weirdly specific ones and knowing it was because some guy paid them to say they got that record

Pretty sure this video holds the record for “Highest viewed Scott the Woz video about the Guinness Book of World Records Gaming Edition 2020.”

Those french stamps brought back some memories. I think I still have a few (the Mario and Spyro ones I remember the most), those were sold in basically every post office in 2005 so I'm sure there's a good amount of these out there

15:18 gordon freeman does not fit there but also does and thats amazing

This was so nostalgic

Scott is really thoughtful of us for uploading a 1 hour video today...

This guy should totally make a collab video with Scott the Woz

I had this book! I remember they used a render of Luigi from an SMG4 video to show Luigi in Super Mario 64 DS.

I still have my 2009 version of this. Crazy to think they still make them.

It's me, I Love Battle Network. Give me all that 2004 internet vibes.

3 hours of content in one day!

i would be genuinely interested in scott talking about his backlog some day, would be really cool to see

I used to read that 2008 green gamers edition so often. Glad to see someone else was also admiring such top tier literature 😅

This video is going to get the record for most Scott and/or Wozes in a second channel

Why did you skip the Goku section Scott? Are you scared of something?

Favorite part was you talking about the adaptive controller, I don't use it despite my lack of hands because I'm stubborn BUT it is very very important for tons of people

Scott thank you for letting me know what i missed out on

I got this at Book Fair in February 2020… a month before Covid hit US major!

it felt so surreal to see mega man powered up art on the mega man page

Scott do be the ramblin man

The Baten Kaitos spedrun being so long will always amuse me. For those unaware, there is an item in the game that requires 2 real world weeks to create. So you basically just have to wait 2 weeks to 100% the game.

Some of these straight-up got information wrong. They called Ash Ketchum a video game character. Ash isn’t in the Pokemon games, he was created for the anime. They get his backstory wrong too, it says he was given Pikachu as punishment for being late to class? I don’t remember that from the show.

“Gamers unite!” -Guinness probably

Chip's Challenge 2 finished development in 1999, but wasn't released until 2015 due to legal issues. I guess that doesn't count as a long development time, but it *was* quite a long wait for a sequel!

So to clarify the Q-bert thing: There was *supposed* to be coherent phrases that Qbert would say aloud, but it was basically impossible with the limitations of the hardware so they just jumbled it up into nonsense. The exception to this is the "Bye Bye" when you game over, that was able to come through understandably enough. But I highly doubt the intent was ever actual swearing.

I have 4 of these 2014-2017 Was the only book i got at the school book fair Couple of em have neat things of just the history of gaming, and is still novel to have physical books of stuff like this

I love to hear your strong support for the xbox adaptive controller!

I like to imagine that scott is just laying on the floor to this, idk why it makes me laugh. But it does

We were this close to having Scott mentioning my hometown with that Italian Assassin's Creed collection, darn

41:31 it's been a pleasure working with you

Double checked and I just realized that I don’t have the 2020 edition, so this is a fun way to experience it!

Luigi is the distilled essence of a "Friend Zone".

thanks for the new video, tommy tallarico!

Slowruns do actually exist some games. Boot up a game, set the controller down, go to the store to pick up some snacks to watch during a movie.

You had me there for a sec scott but animated movies should be considered as a separate category because as you said, just like documentaries are a different type of format from traditional narrative movies, animated movies are another format or “medium” from which, yes, incredibly adult emotions and stories in general can be conveyed.

Eat your heart out Space Race. Kirby vs Sonic pinball is where the drama is.

Dude, if you got these at the scholastic books fair, you where the KING everyone would crowd around your desk it was so damn cool to own these

I think we need a whole gamers addition series of these

Yep 1st edition was 2008 with a shiny green hardback cover, also Apple made a games console in 1996, the Apple Pippin..... it failed, shocker. I wonder who has the record of the the most gaming records in one book ?

I remember the 2018 version of these magazines

Yeah Apple made a console alright, it's called the Pippin.

it’s so appropriate that the quality on these thinks tanked, lol. if you want a record in this book, you can simply pay for it. they don’t verify these “records.”

I might even go so far as to say some people don't have hands at all!

I saw 2020 and thought "oh yeah last year"

Oh yes right at the right time !! Sitting here fixing my 3DS while listing to this 2 Hour Gem :D

I like how much his hand waves around XD

A lot of these sound like quiz questions turned facts. Who was the first female character to appear on a postage stamp? What was the first game on a popcorn machine?

Only I got Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2011 & 2017 so oh yeah. Other than that awesome video man 😎!
