Hey Emily, I found your channel a few weeks ago and I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed watching your vids and seeing you grow your collection. It really shows that you've become more and more comfortable being in front of the camera. Your content is informative (because you're always introducing me to a title I've never heard of) and it's just an enjoyable experience to hear you talk about it all. Except for my NES back in the day and my N64 (which I gave away because I'm stupid) I've always primarily been a PC gamer. But you've definitely piqued my interest in looking again back at the console/handheld world. 🎮🎮😀😀

@pr4sm1ke 7 ай бұрын

Hi Emily! Regarding the Marth figure, if the gap between the base and boot is disturbing, you can use a pin to measure the peg length and compare it to the hole depth on the base. If the pegs are too long, you can file off some plastic from the pegs with a plastic modeling filer to make them shorter. If that's not the case, maybe a paint blob at the peg's base is causing a block.

@ScorpioCesarcade 7 ай бұрын

I've also noticed the rounder bases with Pop Up Parades and I think it's definitely an improvement, takes up less shelf space especially when placing them next to each other. You always pick up some of the coolest statues and I'm always envious of them! Marth looks absolutely gorgeous, the shading on his cape is second to none. Excellent pickups Emily, good sales are always hard to pass up!

@orbalology 7 ай бұрын

The round bases look much cleaner than the previous popup parade bases! It's a plus that they take up less space too. And the cape details on Marth's figure are really stellar! :)

GameStop should reeeeeally stop gutting new games and calling them "new". It should be illegal. They should just use a generic box and copy cover art. I mean, they only need one on the shelf to advertise that they have new copies in stock. I will never buy a new gutted game from them, unless it's on clearance and or solely for me. GS is insane.

Been doing it since they bought out or all the competition closed. Younger generations are missing out we had awesome nation consumer friendly dedicated game stores like Funcoland. Their used games you could literally take them to stations they had consoles setup and you could try it to make sure you liked it. And prices were excellent This was the year to be s Best Buy plus member 🫣 I spent a bit much this summer using the buy 2 get one switch that was always in play. Then when it ended I was sad they reintroduced it twice for holidays. Missed the first one. Second one definitely did not probably bought 20-30 games About 8 were not for me and were gifts 🤑

This channel is transforming into a watch and figurines collection channel 😂. Maybe it’s a good idea to keep that Special Reserve Cult of the Lamb copy sealed and just buy a regular copy to play. I did not know about this version (I own the deluxe version) and it seems like it’ll be valuable in the future now that Special Reserve is gone. Do you ever consider going to Japan to film some shopping and pickups? Would make for fun contents (and you can write the trip off as business expense). Thanks for the Sunday video

I would love to go back to Japan someday! Not too sure when I'll be able to make that happen, but it'll be interesting to try out vlog style content someday. Taxes are tricky and I would rather avoid being audited, a large expense write off like that would probably paint a big target on me 😅

I have also picked up other ps5 titles along the way that I hope I can start showing off on my channel. Channels like yours and Mystic Ryan’s channel have inspired me.

I stopped actively buying games from GameStop years ago. Aside from all the shenanigans that have been well reported by media outlets, the biggest reason I stopped is this: new games ain't new. Growing up visiting EB Games (GameStop), it saddens me to see how even nostalgia and attachment aren't enough to entice me to visit them regularly these days, let alone buying things from them. When I must, I always ask them for a sealed copy from behind the counter. That doesn't completely guarantee the rare pamphlets inside the games haven't been ruffled or touched by oily hands, of course, but hey, better than nothing right? Cult of the Lamb is such a fun game. I didn't think I would enjoy playing it as much as I did, but there is something charming about this game that really appealed to me and kept me hooked. The original Steins;Gate is still IMHO the best of the series. I have both the "originals" and the Elite versions on my PSP, PS Vita and Nintendo Switch. Unless you are attached to the anime aesthetic, Elite is not an essential pickup. With that said, if you are a collector, you probably want to add it to your collection. As always, thank you for another fun video! :)

Sometimes, I'm bad with buying games on sale, especially if they're available in more than one platform. I've ordered a few games in which one arrived for one system like the Switch and then a few days later, the same game arrived for a different system like the PS4 (looking at you, Valkyria Chronicles 4). Granted, I do like owning games more than once, but still. Good choice on Shadow of the Colossus - it's best to think of the boss fights as a puzzle game with action game mechanics. I would recommend playing Ico as well, if you can find it. Not the best game, but it's a beautiful one.

I love that Hades figure Emily! Your take on boss fights is cool to hear - I enjoy them, but you’re the first person I’ve heard who doesn’t. It makes me rethink what I look for in a game a bit. Excited to see the content with your new gear :) I have a Data Science question. Humble Bundle is currently running a data science bundle by No Starch Press (can’t add a link due to YT guidelines, but you’ll see it on their website in the books section). If it’s not too much trouble can you let me know what you think? Is it good content? Thanks so much!

Maybe my position on boss battles is an artifact of a few games from my younger years. I remember all too well getting stuck & frustrated on certain bosses and having it hinder my enjoyment of a game overall 😅 I'm unfamiliar with those particular books in that data science humble bundle, but I looked up some reviews and it looks like they've been received fairly well. I think anything that helps you learn R, Python, and/or SQL will go a long way with advancing in data science. Though I guess a good followup question is what skills are you hoping to learn, are they to integrate into your current profession or to help aid in a career change?

@@orbalology Ah that makes sense with the battles, I can see how those experiences can scar you a bit. Thanks for looking into the books for me! I’m a musician interested in a macro introduction to the field - mainly because of you and your approach to the channel. So integration/improving my skill-set would be ideal, though I can also see many of the skills overlapping into my hobbies like coding and stock trading. I took AP Comp Sci in high school but never learned Python, so that would be cool as well

Star ocean second story R. I bought it back when i was in my teens and beat a bunch of times. Still own my original copy. I bought the ps5 version. I recommend this if anyone has an interest in star ocean games but didnt really love the latest entries. Ranking: Second story, till the end of time, first departure.

Cool video. I pre order star ocean back in October and of course game stop did not get any copies on release date and they still have not got it in yet. I knew I should have trusted my guy and not pre order it knowing that the game wouldn't sell out. Games these days never sell out of stock unless they're limited print copies but still.

I went crazy buying games, too. Unfortunately, none of them were on sale. A lot of great games released last month. I’ll be taking it easy for the next few months.

11:29 You definitely want to play the original Steins;Gate over Elite, because you get the original art by Huke, which is just absolutely stunning!! Especially if you've already seen the anime.

Stoked that you got Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian. Fumito Ueda's games are among the most amazing artistic experiences I've ever had. That includes his first game, Ico (Ee-ko), which as far as I know is only playable on PS2 and on the PS3 remaster. I wouldn't be surprised if Ico gets a remake from PlayStation one of these days.

@sannerpatton3589 7 ай бұрын

Also, regarding your actual commentary about the games: I think you'll find the Shadow of the Colossus remake quite playable-and enjoyable, I hope. But it may take a bit of patience. The game is very minimalistic, but the story it tells is surprisingly deep and complex. I've been thinking about the story's implications for almost twenty years now. Bottom line is that it's a game I think is so important that I would be happy to help anyone else enjoy it. Let me know if you have any questions. The Last Guardian did have a very long development cycle; in fact, the game's announcement was the main reason I bought a PS3 back in 2007. Needless to say, it ended up coming out on PS4. But the main problem players had with it was its controls, and in particular, its camera. I noticed the difficult camera, but wasn't dismayed by it. That's another incredible game I think you'll like. Amazing story. Based on my impressions of your tastes, though, I think Ico is the game you might like the most of the three. I enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing!

I'd be interested to hear what you thought of Fenyx Rising. I loved the set up, humour, art style and initially the gameplay. After about 20 hours though I fell off it hard. It was getting a bit Samey with a lot of busy work (just being a Ubisoft game, I guess). I also got frustrated by some tricky platforming puzzles, but that's more of a "me" problem, I suck bigtime at platforming 🙂. Let us know what you thought when you get to play it. Also an observation while discussing video production if I may (which you can feel free to ignore 🙂); I thought the camera was maybe a little too close for this one? Again probably just me . Keep doing what you do, its always a good watch.

Cant blame ya when the sales are good, im the same lol. Was just going around walmarts looking for advanced wars on clearance that someone posted. Didnt find it but found Age of Calamity and octopath 2 for 20 each instead lol. So picked them up with Star ocean
