I’m still recovering from dental surgery, so I put together some of my favorite Kelsey videos including a tour of Pink Gorilla store in Seattle, how to spot FAKE games, tips for cleaning games, travel to E3, finding cheap games and more!
The doom II cart has another typo, it says "tis" instead of "it's". Also all gameboy carts have a number engraved in label. Ds carts have a small indent on the top of cart. The pokemon black and white carts will be red if you shine light through.
@@giorgioscalici468 Kinsey is in Japan working as a game developer. Kelsey owns Pink Gorilla Games and there are multiple locations in Seattle so she's probably very busy. I know that one of the stores was robbed a while back someone smashed in the windows but they didn't take a ton besides a few consoles.
Always appreciate Kelsey's knowledge being a retail owner. She saved me from buying fake carts since I had no clue it was so easy to build a fake. Hope to visit her stores someday 🤙
I often recall Kelsey and these videos whenever I think of retro shopping. I miss having her around. Good personality and a deep clear love for retro games
@@JungleOfMeat not really. Everyone is well over 18 into their late 20s at the least who cares. Not like they’re dating or something they’re both married
I’m guessing women just get grossed out or embrace the primarily male retro game scene. Those who embrace sell bath water those that don’t take breaks. I wish we could just be normal and appreciative of her knowledge.
Dude, seeing your Opeth poster always makes me smile. I recently saw them here in London. My girlfriend bought us tickets and she's NOT into rock/metal aside from emo stuff from when she was young lol. But Opeth was not her type of music yet she's open minded. We had SO much fun. She's the one who convinced me to get into mosh pit. So sick! I was exhausted by the end.
That episode of spotting the fake carts was my introduction to your channel. Thank you for the years of content from the opposite coast of the US and hope you feel better soon, fully healed. Catch you all soon, 🤞
Lol "if it doesn't have its box it'll be A LOT cheaper, and if it does have its box and manual it'll be A LITTLE BIT more pricey," how is one way a lot cheaper, but the other way is only a little bit more pricey? Aparently if a game is 5 bucks loose, and 10 bucks complete, going down from 10 to 5 is A LOT cheaper, but going up from 5 to 10 is only A LITTLE BIT more pricey? Power of persuasion, eh?
I live in Seattle but in south Seattle which is basically a different city. Food, complexion, etc are absolutely nothing like what I see on this channel. I'll most definitely be traveling slightly north to see some of this positivity
I always loved walking into arcade parlors back in the day the smell of the pizza and the cabinets of our local denos pizza that used to be open but shut down years ago was where I would go just about every sun with my grandma and eat and play mortal kombat 2!!
Kelsey is my favorite, I miss seeing her talking about games and was also very knowledgeable about game history I always wished she would come back and be more active on RU-vid
Well, without wanting to assume too much, she recently went through a divorce, and she's also been focusing a lot more heavily on her involvement within the video game history organization she works with.
That looks like an amazing shop. It's also well priced, unlike the stores in my local city, in the UK. I don't want to mention company names, as I don't want to shame them. When she got to the Vita section, I thought said fetus section.
Hi MetalJesusRocks! Warren here! Can you please check on Kelsey? I heard that Pink Gorilla Games got robbed again. I am very angry seeing this retro game store getting ripped off again!
I love these compilations on your channel and I hope you are healing up fast. The long videos are my favorite and I've commented it a lot on the Pickups videos but I rewatch them over and over in a playlist of long MJR videos. I've seen the pickups videos so many times but different games will interest me at different times and its perfect to put on to chill out and often helps me sleep at night. Kelsey has a lot of talent and knows so many interesting things about games. I heard her store got robbed a year ago or so; not sure what happened after and if they caught the crooks or not. In any case I hope the business is doing well. Just put a Kinect and Eye Toys in the window and they will see the cameras (and bad games) and turn away before Kinectimals starts playing.
Wow, that store looks amazing! I know some people that live in Washington, and I'll be there for a wedding in September, but unfortunately I won't have time to go check it out 😭BUT the next time I'm in Washington it's gonna be the number one thing on my to-do list. Forget the space needle!
I've seen all these when they originally....aired(?), but when I saw in the description that one of them was the $5 challenge, I had to wait until this moment: 17:58 , because it made me laugh a lot the first time I saw it. Lol. Speedy recovery MJR!
Every time Cody is featured in a video on MJRs channel, he's always caught saying the largest of logs 😂 I'm surprised Kelsey can sleep with that. Gotta be love, lol
I got nothing like that near me it sucks and im jealous of people who have a microcenter close think the closest one to me is 5 hours. I have a powerful pc but still pick up many games on consoles because i like having a physical copy. A digital copy is just a very very long rental. And I like to have the cases on display.
I missed the original episode of Tour of Pink Gorilla. Crazy to see how cheap some of the prices were on some of the games in 2018. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the PSP was 25.00 CIB in 2018…. Flash Forward 2022 after a Pandemic and crazy inflation Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the PSP CIB 90.00. Too bad that didn’t catch MJR eye during the 5.00 video game challenge.
Hello, i heard what happend to kelsey's store. I had an idea, you should gain a few of the MJR crew, sit at home, play games and raise some charity for kelsey store, i would love to chip in.
I used to watch Kelsey and Cody on Twitch all the time. They permanently banned me during an IRL stream from a restaurant because I suggested they should eat their food instead of responding to the chat. I’m literally banned for life. 😂
I remember walking into my local import shop in Liverpool England in the 80s 90s the shops u have had the same vibe not overpriced made by people who love gaming and are looking to share that with the public keep up the good work
Well... I just spent like 5hrs checking games for disc rot. In particular, the Saturn games. Happy to report, visual test is Good. Also, tested a handful in play. We good. I wonder if there can be some more analysis for this issue. Perhaps a new video dedicated to preservation. 👍
I missed the Spotting Fakes video the first time, Some really great content! I definitely got some Sega Genesis fakes from EBay, would love to see a new video covering Sega cartridge fakes after you recover :)
i went to washington about 2 years ago if i would have known this store was in the area i would have WENT plus i can finally confess my secret crush on kelsey ;P
I notice that Kelsey is currently hosting MinnMax show and there was one video where Kelsey presented her WonderSwan collection. I realized that Kelsey really wants to collect things or games that have some kind of special aid like Sewing machine for Nintendo DS.
Is Kelsey still active on RU-vid? Are you going to try and re Caleb with them in the near future? I love your channel and I don’t collect old games. I appreciate your channel, thank you
