You poped in my recommendation for some reason, if some day you become millionare remember me Boby Bobert.

So close to my heart this story, the internet cafes, the games of the 2000s and being the best meaning being the best in your school. Greetings from Poland, my Slavic Brother!

As a slav from different country, this video was pretty relatable. I played mostly NES games and went to a gaming club which was in a garage next to our block, if a had money. I got my own pc pretty late around 2007-8. I honestly miss those years.

Would love a video on STALKER !! As an American, it was my first exposure to the Eastern world and Slavic stuff in general and it fascinated me. I have Slavic heritage (Polish), and it was really really cool when I was so young to be exposed to something soooo radically different than all of the other games at the time. I distinctly remember fallout 3 and STALKER coming out at similar times and I remember comparing the two games atmosphere and general feel. STALKER always felt so much more grounded and gritty. Thanks for the video comrade !

I see a striking similarity between slavs and Appalachian americans like myself. I grew up in the poorest region in america, i didnt have the best console or pc but i had fun. God bless 🙏 i see this channel going far

This has been one of the most wholesome video I’ve seen in a while. Gave me nostalgia for things I’ve never experienced, thank you! Keep it up my man

Hella nice content you got here my friend, lovely editing, really good pacing, and you're a really charismatic fella! Hope to see you grow in the future bud, good luck on your way to 100k subscribers, bet you'll get there sooner than you imagine 🔥🔥🔥

Hahaha, I would say that the 2000s here in Argentina were pretty similar, with a lot of computer clubs or "cybers" as they are called here, and playing a lot of old games even for that time! I know of this because of my older brother, but although I was a little kid at the time, my first console was still an old Ps1, because we werent economically in a really good place to say the least. Really cool video!

Living in ukraine is like playing stalker in real life

Вот она - магия ютуб алгоритмов! Поздравляю мужик, еще большего роста каналу!

I enjoy hearing gaming perspectives from all over. There is far more to it than the narrow cutting edge AAA action adventure stuff. While that can be fun, I'd much rather see the wild side of things, the unlikely routes gaming can take and influence people. Like Brazil supporting Netflix on the PlayStation 2. So yes I would love to hear more about this stuff.

I found this video on my recommended page and I enjoyed it a lot, you've earned a sub! Even though I am Dutch and my situation growing up was a bit different than yours, it did give me a lot of nostalgia to when I was a lot younger. All I essentially had was a crappy tv with a PS2 with Lego StarWars II, which I sold for a Wii with some party games. Some of my fondest gaming memories are playing these games with my friends growing up. I think that's what makes these games so special for us, as they were always played with other people we cared deeply for.

5:23 I would really like a review of S.T.A.L.K.E.R bro :) I also played a lot of CS1.6 in LAN house:D

dude you’re really underrated make more vids like this eastern europe was always a fun time

Very nice Video to watch whilst chilling please more Videos!

You popped up on my feed and I'm so glad it happened ! Keep it up

Honestly this was a really nice video, good job :] This actually reminds me, I still see tons of pretty active european servers on old CS games, guess good games never die :)

Wish more of my Canadian friends played CS as well, but i'll take what I can get. Thanks for the insight into the history and good luck with the channel!

I'm glad this got recommended to me, amazing video! Good luck growing bigger brother!

slav gaming culture is heaven started cs 1.6 just a few years ago. love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

I have to thank papa KZfaq for recommending your channel, can't wait for your channel to get to 1 million subs ❤️ Give us some more stories bro I would love to hear more!

Man you took me back in time.

Good video and very interesting learning about how you played games.

showed up in my recommendation feed, keep up the grind

I already love this kind of content

I found your video as recommended. Keep it up man, you’re lovely person

good video man!

Interesting to see how other people experience gaming, from the east to the west!

Great video man! we had a similar experience in the philippines, Internet Cafes (our name for Computer Clubs) were super popular growing up, and even though this was in like 2009, people were still hooked on 1.6 (and sometimes source) because the PCs in the Cafes were so low spec that that's all they could run. we also played a ton of WinKawaks, an arcade machine emulator, where people would always get into arguments over their match ups in Marvel VS Capcom 2. those were the days!

I'm from Argentina, we had a similar experience. Here, computer clubs were called "cybers" and I had my first experiences with some great games there. I remember first trying age of empires, quake and counter in one of those places. We had the same problems too LMAO, dudes would come and stand behind you when you were playing counter strike and say "hey can I play a life?". Great video dude, brought back a lot of memories

guy from algeria here we had a really similar start-up to our gaming careers expect that instead of skipping school i go to internet cafe with friends when we had only half a day to study and we install cs 1.6 or cod 2 and play with the max time our money bought us

Love from france , some of my oldest gaming memories are playing a dubious copy of crazy taxi on a dubious laptop , i also did too play cs in "places" but i played cs:s bc i was born in 06' great work for such a small channel keep it up

awesome video man

Lmfao i love these kind of video, keep it up comrade

awesome video!!!!

good video dude! subbed

You remind me of Life of Boris. Keep posting this awesome content you are doing good Bratan!

Cool vid!

Amazing video subbed

Spoiled westerner here. While I myself never really went to internet cafés, a Polish friend of mine talked about expierences very similar to yours during the 2000's. He also talked about playing CS 1.6, Unreal Tournament, and his personal favorite Quake 3 Arena. I've seen photos of the cafés he frequented, and I do see the appeal of them. He eventually bought his own PC in 2007, and the first game he bought for it was Quake 3. He has much better hardware now obviously, but he still plays Quake 3 and now Quake Live every now and then. Anyways, good video on an interesting subject. Greetings from America! 🇺🇲

thank you for sharing your experience, love the video ! And also, please do a video about stalker !!!

Dope video man 👍

Thanks for showing nice video editing skills🤠😁

So glad I got recommended this video. I have so much nostalgia for cs1.6 too

As a Slav as well this was very relatable, awesome video and I remember I had the EXACT same NES console as well at home! We were poor asf and those were basically all we had back in the day apart from computer clubs, although our computer clubs were very far away from our homes so most of our time was spent playing football outside or some other goofy outside activities we came up with as kids. Much love from one slav to another

keep up the good content 🔥

Awesome video, hoping to see you grow ! Love from france

this popped in my recs too, nice video, i enjoyed hearing your story, here in south america many of us had a very similar gaming childhood, ive played counter strike and hldm through cybercafes back in the mid 00s and that was basically my first fps multiplayer experience, those days are long gone and i miss them but we have to be glad that they happened at all and that we got to experience it. wish you good luck with the channel, hope you make it big man

This video is really interesting

Somehow this got recommended to me. Great video! You deserve more subscribers!

U showed in my recommendation and I don't really see small channels like ur so ima sub and keep it up bro I believe in u

Love your accent man. Would love to see a video about stalker. keep up the good work!

Really like this video and channel! Hope to see you make a video about stalker

You just described my own childhood (Bulgaria).The feels...the feels!

Got a sub, keep up the work this is actually good shit right here

CS 1.6, GTA Vice City, Need for speed underground 1 is all I needed back in the day

I can´t wait to see your experience with Stalker Franchise! Loved your content. Cheers from Brazil Slavic brother!

This guy is going to blow up.

I live in the other side of the world, in Argentina, and it was like that, playing with my friends in cybercafes.. now we play on LAN just to keep that feeling alive, good video!

good video man

very good points made. In Bangladesh we had gaming zones or gaming cafe. They used to have these boxy Arcades with king of fighters, Cadillac and dinosaurs and many others. When they upgraded, they upgraded to PCs and people used to play Fifa, COD 2, CS:S, WoW and all the LAN playables. The gaming cafe's started to fall in 2013. The last one in the area I live in r'n closed during Covid :(

Love this! Pls make a video on Stalker

latinamerican and slav gaming culture from the 2000's seems to be quite similar

sick vid ❤

very cool

Ayo this was such a nice video, I sub bro because it’s nice video ! Huge love from France 🇫🇷, keep your content like this !

My slavic brother, i grew up in a harsh environment, times were tough, and those days of closeness with my brother playing any game we could get our hands on, enjoying some then-retro games and unique little games will be some of the best memories. slav life is best life comrade

I would love to hear about your gaming experiences, this video was pretty informative and fun, think you could give me your opinion on stalker since its just everyday life for you!

I grew up in poland as a 2007 kid and most of this seems accurate to my early life except we had a family computer which could barely run Minecraft at 20 mods and I mostly played that later got into CS 1.6 when we got a laptop post 2015 we had two laptops and I played 1.6 all night with my brothers fun times

Already got my sub bratan, saying g’day from Australia. ❤

I loved the video im a slav too bulgarian to be exact and now cuz of this vid im gonna redownloas 1.6 again

ended up learning slav culture nice content.

Im your 800th sub and im proud

I love seeing this kind of story come from people in the Eastern parts of the world, as a Brazillian I had a very lucky childhood when it came to gaming and the consoles I acessed, but was still interested in stuff that came before my time like Mortal Kombat, SNES Mario and most of all Sonic, there's a great video about the relationship between Sonic and Brazil that I think you should watch, it shows that even in the americas people couldn't afford the New Gen consoles and stuck around with older 90s and 80s stuff. Still, my first multiplayer experience ever was playing CS 1.6 in the school computers in 2018 just because the teacher allowed us to, and it was great! I sympathize greatly with the feeling that Lan Houses and Computers Clubs have been lost to time, now only relegated to private sessions between friends, I know there is such a thing as nostalgia and wishful thinking, but I wish we could go back to those simpler times.

Privet!! nice video!! I can relate to your experience as well althought I'm not eastern european but argentinian. Lots of people of my age grew up in these places (we called it "cyber") where it was always CS 1.5, 1.6 or HL1 deathmatch. I hope your channel grows my friend, you seem like a carismatic person overall and I look forward to your content! and please do make a video about stalker, probably with information we westerners didn't catch. Cheers!

Brooo i love this video we in the philliphines over here computer clubs are still highly popular with the kiddos cuz of roblox and teenagers with Dota 2 and Valorant it feels wonderful that other countries also have memories with computer clubs

great video, greetings from Poland, brother 😃

Awesome

JEDI ACADEMY ENJOYER??? My first game was Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast and to this day its my favorite game. Academy is after that and yes its beautifull. ( I'm going to make a remaster for both of them :}) Nice video, liked and subscribed. Cheers from Serbia!

The gaming timeline here in the Philippines is sort of weird cause back in the 2000's everyone would play a a variety of games like RTS's like Battle Realms, Warcraft 3, FPSs like Quake 3, Special Force, CS 1.6 was really popular, and a ton of MMORPGs (its surprising that it still has a following here). Single player games are also are not popular here, and this era kinda died out when everyone was playing DOTA back in 2009 and then it transitioned to League around 2013 and then it became mobile games around 2016-2017 (the mainstream ones here are the worst). So it's really rare to see someone here branch out to other games or even remember the ones I've mentioned here.

I may not be slavic, but us romanians have the same 2000s gaming culture. I'm glad that I spended my whole time in CS 1.6, using mods for the playermodels and having fun on the de/cs/deathrun/deathmatches servers. Much love from Romania!

nice video

I am also ukrainian, I used to have a a potato labtop where i would play tanks or a dora game we had, but my father had cs go and other shooter stored in a secret folder to hide them from us but when they werent home i always played those

you got a sub my brother, i was kinda having the same life experience as like you back in my childhood(im talking about my OG 11-12 year-old experience)i was just playing 40 mins on a low end pc like trash spec PCs, but, anyways, i was having tons of amount of fun, you made my day brother, i am gonna be your OG sub.❤👍🤝

Yo WTF only 230 sub? This channel is extremely underrated.

Found this on my fyp and i love it and also do stalker video

The adidas tracksuits made it for me

The fact he look like a Driller and he's playing on macbook 💀😭

exact same childhood but flip it with greek summers and food, early 00s was damn good

really fun

The most epic video since arab throat singing ngl

Good stuff my guy I agree with a lot of the experiences you have because I can relate to the poverty im not European myself. I'm filipino and computer shops is what we called them is just places where you bought gaming time as well usually 5 Philippines pesos gives you an hour or half from 14 year old me memory we played same games you played like CS 1.6, Warcraft 3, or dota being the most popular out of most of them this was a fun video be glad to see you make even more even talk more about how CS shaped Eastern European personally CS 1.6 and source shapedy childhood and I still love CS to this day even doe I'm kinda terrible at it hoping to get better

That's really intresting now that i think about it something similar happend in Mexico, where i'm from, a lot of families couldn't afford modern consols (i remember i had a NES too lol), but we didn't had gaming pc clubs, you could only use those to do homework, something for work or to print, but we had arcades everywhere, in most convinience stores, farmacies, supermarkets, and we had places just for arcades. And in the same way you played cs and dota with your friends we played a LOT of fighting games, and i think that's the reason why there's a lot of mexican competitive players and champions of games like KOF. Great video, a video about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. would be really cool, keep up the good work man you got a new subscriber.

KZfaq really pushin this one 💪

i love this

I feel you man

i find this very relatable, in my country these are called "internets" and i could spend hours plaing GTA: san andreas or half life and then try to steal the Direct access but no the game XD, GREAT VIDEO MAN, Saludos!

Brother you somehow appeared on my recommendations XD and am getting million subs vibes Keep grinding king and stay blessed luver the content. If you hit million don't forget me XDD
