Thinking about your Mom on this Mother’s Day too Johnny we all appreciate you ❤️

We need a johnny & rob man game store & arcade road trip series

Thanks for having us on the show, it's always great doing these vids with you! :D

Really cool change of pace, wouldn't mind seeing more like this one with you out & about

Idk why but you not sitting down in the beginning caught me off guard lol

I did NOT want this video to end!! Please do a sequel. What a store!!!

I love this because it feels like something you'd make 10 years ago. Do you remember when you gave out Hanzo posters to everyone who knew the password "All Gen Gamers" ? Good times!!

I could have seen TWO HOURS of this, SO GOOD!

I keep forgetting Johnny lives in the real world and not just a void with his wife and a table.

What a refreshing episode getting out for a change is nice

That crazy weird Mega Man.... I've been seeing that thing for years every time i visit Press Start and always wondered about it.

Johnny, you always seem to have such genuinely great, and kind-hearted people around you. Loved this episode.

I went to Press Start yesterday to buy some Sega games and poke around. I’ve been an HCG fan forever, but somehow hadn’t seen this video yet. As I was rooting through their amazing collection and having the most knowledgeable, unique and sweet conversation with Russel… JOHNNY walks in. I was absolutely floored by the genuine and heartfelt conversations I was privileged to have with these two. Not only did I leave with some banger games, I was in possession of goosebumps, borderline-tears and a positive memory that will forever be burned in my brain. Bless these two

really nice to see you out and about with friends!

There was also a VHS for Majora's Mask. I only know because it's about five feet away from me right now.

That Air Zonk Mega Man is certainly eye catching. Cool backstory!

Today was the one year anniversary of my mom's passing, with you in spirit Johnny, stay strong buddy.

THIS THE KIND OF VARIETY CONTENT WE NEED 💜

Love the video Johnny. Russell seems like a cool guy. A business man with an actual passion for what he's selling is a rare thing.

I love when you do this episodes outside of the room, last time Kim had to carry the camera, it was a great episode, 😂

Love those Nintendo VHS promo tapes. I have one for Banjo Kazooie, and another for a game called Wild 9 on the PS1. Great video!

Dude I would love to see you do more videos like this! I enjoy all your stuff but just fun to see you out and about ❤

You got the VHS Tapes with a Nintendo Power subscription. I know because that’s how I received the Donkey Kong Country before the game was released on SNES in the NA Region. It came randomly one day in the mail.

I still have my original Donkey Kong Country VHS tape. Nintendo sent it to us in the mail as a promotional item to promote the game when it first came out. I was pretty young at the time, but I seem to remember them being sent to registered owners of SNES consoles, as I don't remember my parents ever having to mail anything in or pay for it, and it was before we had a Nintendo Power subscription.

Hey Johnny, I just want to say thank you for being a great source for comfort, laughs, insight and positive thoughts. I’ve been watching you for over a decade and it never fails to impress me how much you have remained so positive, upbeat, humorous and incredibly emotionally mature week and after week. The shows with Rob (terribly funny human who I’d love to see on the big screen - great actor/story teller), Andy (a gateway into your childhood - your bond and connection over games and loyalty to each other is really dope to witness - Andy needs his own show too), Kim (an ever seemingly shinning light of joy and happiness - you two are set) and the community that you include whenever you get the chance is f**king dope ❤ A few years ago I was in a very crappy situation in life, your videos as well as some really good friends and family really helped me, Johnny. They helped me to breathe a bit of cheer just before I tried switching off at night and allowed my brain to be distracted by laughter, reviews, first thoughts, pickups, what you’ve been playing, guest appearances, artwork, game scores etc etc Anyway, I’m in an incredible situation in life and currently on holiday in Thailand with my partner and our 5mo little baby girl 🥰 not sleeping, but only cuz as you know it’s absolutely knackering being a father. Massive condolences for your mum ❤ I lost my dad several years ago and like your mom he was a bloody good human. A friend of mine after he died said something that has stayed with me since. “You’ll never stop feeling the way you feel, but you’ll learn how to manage the pain/grief”. All the best, Glenn

Awesome store man!!! I want to see a revolution of new mom and pop media shops...vinyl, games, movies, books etc

I'd love to see more episodes like this. The games room episodes are awesome as always but it was really cool getting to see the shop you talk about all the time. This was definitely one of my favorite episodes on your channel and I've been watching for years.

I have a small replica of Erdrick's Sword that's plastic, but man that huge version of it is so cool. Great video Johnny!

What a cool episode, damn. Russell is a great dude, charismatic. He could fill in for some episodes I'm sure.

More out and about please. Enjoyed this

Wow, the VHS tapes hit me with nostalgia, Nintendo Power sent me the DK Country and StarFox 64 tapes, StarFox 64 particularly I watched every day till the game came out. 🤩

Love seeing you get your friends involved in the videos. Russell is awesome.

You had me at Megaman and Video game merch

Great episode! Love this type of occasional out of the norm content!

Russell is awesome dude. visited the store a few times. very friendly. bought a few gems and they are fairly priced. found his store favouring more compared to gamedeals

That mega man figure where you can see the inside of him is fire dude

I absolutely LOVE shops like this, unfortunately they are hard to find these days especially where I live in Boise Idaho. Thanks Johnny I hope you and the family are doing well, and happy mothers day to Kim!💗

I had the Starfox 64 VHS tape before the game was released, and I watched it a million times.

Great video - would love to see more like this with press start games!

I loved this video man, the store owner seems like a cool knowledgeable guy! The type you want in a store like that

The vibes are just so good. You make the world a better place, HCG.

Amazing episode! That Matroid Prime standee in the background looks so amazing!

0:17 I love that Binding of Isaac plush! I've been playing that a lot lately on Switch.

You’re the best, Johnny! Thanks for sharing this.

Love and have followed this show since covid times and working from home, keep up the content mate! Liverpool, UK

Love seeing more Vancouver in your videos, we always so often hear your stories of the places in Vancouver but been awhile since we’ve seen any of it on cam! Exciting change of pace.

I used to have that Donkey Kong VHS. It was cool they talked about how they made all the characters models and talked about the technology behind the game.

So many videos lately Johnny! Appreciate the effort and the new things you are bringing to the channel!

I would 100% watch commercials if they were like that Nintendo promo

Love the videos of you going on adventures. They're always such an unexpected treat

Loved this video!!! I would enjoy seeing more adventures out to other local shops!

This reminds me of old HCG episodes. Love it!

Man I can remember getting those Nintendo VHS tapes in the mail. The N64 and Banjo Kazooie tapes are my personal favourites.

Awesome episode! It's definitely different and I appreciate mixing it up a little bit! Bless you and your family during this Mother's Day. I know you're probably spending a lot of time with the wonderful, little, family you've cultivated. Thanks, Johnny 🙏❤️.

That was so much fun for me to see!! Like Sunday coffee and Christmas thanks for sharing Johnny!! Makes me miss our childhood gaming era!!

this video was so much fun, it's like we got to go on a little adventure together. would love to see more stuff like this!

I'd honestly be really down for more of these sorts of episodes. They're just so relaxed and chill

Awesome stuff. What a great video. I hope you make future episodes like this!

i always have a blast watching your videos, johnny. thanks for sharing!

This was a great switch up for a video johnny. Good job man.

This has an old school Johnny vibe to it, like when you went to visit your old neighborhood AGES ago, and the little driving montage reminds me of the HCG movie. Really fun video!!
