How Have The Game Chasers Changed? 2011-2023 

i see melvor and i stayed for the whole thing

Topic for next talk: how conventions and Retropalooza have changed and how it became a business initiative for Jay

Life long fan here...appreciate you guys

I didn't know I wanted this, but yes, this is exactly what I need in my life! I would love to see more podcast style videos from you guys!

This small 20 min conversation is better than 99% of crap on RU-vid. Love you guys, Thanks for the content!

This was great!

Great to yal together again. Really enjoyed

Awesome. Hope to see more and the building back up

I love these videos and miss them, miss having melvor around with the guys and can’t thank y’all enough for this

I've been watching you guys for almost 10 years . Hard to believe time went by so fast. Stay the way you are , everyone loves you guys.

I wouldn't mind just casual conversation since y'all already have chemistry together. Topic can include any recent stories you want to tell maybe some stories of the past, any recent news stories, any recent shows, movies, or even games. I would say just talk like y'all normally talk

Your guy’s podcast immediately jumped to the top of my weekly queue, can’t wait for more. 🎉

Either in a humorous or serious tone, you guys being genuine is the best part of your videos. No fake bs or trying to talk to the audience like they're children. Just grown men speaking their minds on all things nostalgic. Cheers.

I'd listen to you guys sit there and talk for two hours twice a week easily. I'm genuinely excited to see more of this in the future. Hope to see more of it!

I cant say you guys got me into collecting but you guys were the first youtubers i watched when i did start getting into collecting. I sidnt know about anyone else, and if i did watch another channel it would only be because you had them on your show. Been a fan for a very long time. Keep these type of videos coming.

This was great. Hope this becomes a regular thing.

Great idea guys! I would listen on day1 every episode. Who remembers the chode cast? Chode podcast?

YES! This is like those bits in Game Chasers episodes when you guys start talking about something random during interviews and I always loved that. Keep it coming!

A Game Chasers podcast is something I will literally be more into than even the regular hunting episodes. It has been tough losing the CUPodcast. I would love to have y’all take a whack at it!

Podcast talking about starting a podcast, and I liked every minute! Definitely doesn’t need to be 100% video game related , but just y’all just BS-ing together is all we want

Really Enjoyed this Style of Discussion. Keep it Going.

A game chasers podcast with you guys just shooting the shit. I would love to see more of this!

Talk about how Retropolza came about. Love hearing you guy’s stories.

Please do a podcast. I would 100 percent listen to it every week

Man, this format is just fantastic. Really hope to see more.

I'd love more of this. Even one where you guys collectively talk about old episodes once in a while or take questions from patreons would be great.

we watch for your personalities. just riff like you guys are chilling and we will all love it. this is a great idea guys

been watching you guys for years now since the first Game Chasers episode. Any topics regarding the current state of the video game industry, behind the scenes stories, funny stories outside of the gaming topic, or even any personal topics regarding your personal lives, if you guys are willing to go that far. Either or i'll be watching most definitely!

Bring Rob, Chris, Dodongo and probably bring the guys that make memorable game chasers quote in the podcast, like that 'whats wrong with this guy' guys, 'im a floating head' guys, 'hit the gym' guys (a.k.a Gaming Historian),etc...

Awesome to see the podcast finally happening! Can't wait for more episodes!!

Love that you guys are making more context. Guys help me through some dark times. Thank you

Melbor as interviewer. Perfect fit. There is great content here guys

I’ll listen to you talk about anything! Love it

Fricken yes dudes, super excited for this thanks guys for all you have done and do you guys are my favorite RU-vidrs it's never a dull moment 😂

Definitely excited for y’all to do a podcast!!!

I really enjoyed the discussions. I think that yall got something there podcast wise. Keep up the good work.

Really cool to see you guys and to hear it willl bemore in the future!

Thanks for doing it!

same here, its just like "i dont care, i just want what i wanna play"

Im 32, not a collector at all. Shoot im broke. Reason why i always watched you guys is you all made me feel like i was in my childhood again. With my older cousind saying and doing dumb funny stuff. Brings me right back to good times.

This was great guys. I can watch this everyday.

I would totally watch you guys talk

It left me wanting more. Great idea, please make this a regular show.

Your 12+ years game chasing is the content and topics I’d like to hear about. This is why wrestling podcasts are money, their experience is the content. This was fantastic and looked really professional with the cuts to speaker, kinda like sitting with the producers after an episode of a popular show. Keep it up guys. 👍🏻

This is a good idea and also feel a little clips of going to your best of classic video games you found and do live stream to

The game chasers pid would be great I would listen every episode

Love that y'all are doing this. I go back to the Star Wars movie reviews from time to time. Good stuff!

Jay is on the channel in something that’s not a main episode?? Miracles do happen!

Good to see Melvor back. Good idea for a show like this, hopefully it sticks around.

Absolutely love this. Great hearing from you guys and your take on the state of things. Looking forward to the next one!

Melvor been wearing the same shirt since season 1

I completely agree with you guys on collecting. I narrowed down my collection. I love finding rare games in the wild and I resell to make extra money. So, now I have the best of both worlds. I still get the thrill of the hunt, while still have a small collection of games I actually want to play.

Awesome, you guys need to do more of this.

props for innovating and trying something new....digging it...been watching you guys from the beginning

thank you guys for this. Wishing the best 🤍

I started buying games as a kid as soon as I could earn some money rolling newspapers in a neighbor's garage as a 10 year old for $5 a day, and I've continued collecting games since. It's a weird thing how it changes over the years. In the '90s, maybe early 2000s, I'dve called myself a collector, but now, I don't really know. I don't sell my stuff, and I do play it. I stopped trying to get everything when it meant I'd have to buy Sesame Street games to finish my NES set, and started focusing more on just what I want to play. However, new questions keep popping up. What to do with sealed games I was saving to open for a special occasion? I never anticipated that sealed Turbografx games would have the value they do now... but I didn't buy them for the value, I bought them with the intent to play. I still don't know if I regret popping open sealed 3DO games with my brother a few years back... yeah, I lost a lot of value, but we sure had fun playing brand new copies of games like Immercenary and Mazer, and I think the jokes about mailing in the old comment cards to EA's current address were a great time. Should I have sold them to someone who would've prized them, replaced them with used copies, and pocketed the difference instead? How much did the fun of ripping off the wrap add, and smelling the plastic fresh from the '90s? Can I quantify it? By the same token, when I get a small print run PS4 or Switch game, I open it. I know sealed is more valuable, but I look at it like '80s and early '90s baseball cards- what made the old cards so valuable was that no one foresaw a collector's market, so very few people took extremely good care of those 1950 Mickey Mantles. Sealed games from the '80s or early '90s, same deal. No one was thinking about art or collecting markets. They were games, only slightly different from toys, so the condition wasn't such a consideration. Sure, maybe on 1500 copies of a game are printed, but 1400 are staying sealed. It'll never be as rare as finding a sealed Stanley in Search of Dr Livingston on NES, or even a used Neo Geo game. So, I don't treat them with a particular reverence. I don't know if I'll ever sell or not. I have a lot. Cool stuff, unique stuff, and fun stuff. I never expected it to be valuable enough to pay off my house and then some, but here we are, and I'm not hurting for the cash, so I don't have to make that call right now. Still, the questions are there. Keep it? Play it? Sell it? How long will it last before degrading? How much time do I have to spend repairing things? At the heart of it, I just like to play and share time with friends, but these things intrude on that, and that is what affects me as a collector.

bought a game chaser hat! love this keep it coming please this is the best watching you guys shoot the sh9t i want billy and jay blockbuster stories

I watch a lot of gaming videos, I come across you guys every once in a while in my algorithm. I watch sometimes. This was the most enjoyable to watch, especially in the background. It was just good discussion and not a build up, or a "get". Good job guys, looking forward to seeing this grow. Glad you and PixelPlus are doing this, there's not many podcasts in the video game world.

Thing about podcassts compared to an actual show, is you'll only likely watch one where you feel you'd actually like to hang out with the people doing it. that's why this really works :D

I like the idea, I will certainly watch it. Would be very helpful leading up to Retropalooza to hear what is planned.

Always great to hear you guys chopping it up! If you're in to it, i'd be interested to learn more about you guys outside of games!

I loved this, please do more of this kinda thing.

More videos like this please. I talk about this kinda stuff all the time. Always nice to hear relatable topics.

If you do a show like this/podcast, i will watch it every time.

I just finished watching all the episodes of game chasers again and needed something to fill the gap. This will do nicely.

I like the format of the "the way game chasing goes" i liked tmnt memories, maybe work in lists. Etc. I think people like to hear your stories just growing up. Gaming memories people find they can relate to and feel like they are remembering with friends. Maybe blockbuster stories. Things like funny things that may have happened while game chasing behind the scenes. Whatever. I think people will listen to about anything. Game chasing, toy chasing, star wars talk, etc

Oh this is awesome. My favorite game chasers episodes are ones where you’re just hanging out and joking with each other. Can’t wait for more of these

I totally enjoyed this! I've been watching you guys for years on and off. I personally would love having a Game Chasers podcast in my pod catcher. I dont have to have video and regular podcast is just fine.

We need more of these! Just guys be longer closer to that 30-40 minute mark like normal podcast

Living in the UK, it's feels near impossible to find anything that isn't at the expected or inflated price. Watching you guys, Pixel Squad, others, it gives me that satisfaction of finding something cool, rare or cheap (or all three) even though it's not me. Massively jealous, but still in awe.

Love that you guys are finally doing a “podcast”! These chats are gonna be fun.

Love this hope to see this as a future weekly series!

I really liked this. Looks like you may have captured enough for future episodes as well :)

I loved this. Great topic, too. A lot of the same stuff I (and many collectors of anything) struggle with. I'm going through the "I need to sell most of this stuff" debate in my head currently. Just because there's so much and I know I'm not attached to all of it. Looking forward to more of these!

Listening to y'all just talk about games and such was nice, I hope you'll do more of these.

On this episode of Nostalgia Chasers..... This is a good video. I like watching stuff like this. I went to an antique store last weekend and spent 2 hours walking around. I was up for whatever. There were a few booths that actually had newer stuff and I bought a Comic-Con exclusive NECA alien glow in the dark figure. But I was looking for anything nostalgic.

Finally this is a great idea. Talk about current topics and collecting. Doesn’t have to be all about games too

Sounds good! Hope you do these hangout chats regularly, would be good. For myself, im sure id like most the topics you'd chat about, games, films, toys, Melvor i know has knowledge there, and you all know and collect films i think. Jay and his arcades and behind scenes with running exhibitions.. Just general sitting around chat is all good to listen when im just on my own chilling out 👌

I like the topics covered here. Anytime i go through collecting fatigue, I stop and try to play the games more. When prices skyrocket or theres no time to go hunting. I try to be appreciative of what I have. That tends to help me

Mental Vomit is a good name. The graphic would look sick.

Podcast just needs to happen. Melvor is a natural moderator! Just DO IT!!

Sometimes it’s all about the journey not the destination. I stopped collecting a long time ago, but I still do game runs with my friends because it’s fun hanging out with them. Great work with this. I’ve always loved your content keep up the excellent work.

Ive been watching since the beginning! And still revist the old episodes all the time. Its awesome to see how far ypu guys have come! Props to the lot of yeah and keep uo the good work!would 1000% watch a podcast to fill in the gaps between episodes lol

I liked when Jay said he got tired of collecting games and just wanted to do toys or vinyl or whatever...I'm the same. I was heavy deep into comics 5 years ago then changed to toys about 3 Years ago and now recently started collecting games. Got an nes, ps1 and gamecube. I'm having fun collecting memories from the older consoles and playing ps4 games I just overlooked. I like this new show format! I'd love to see all sorts of collectibles covered. Cards, games, comics, toys, lego, vinyl, books, vhs, physical, media...just anything cool. Good luck w the new format. I look forward to following your success!!!

Awesome content! Can’t wait too see future videos and guests

Loving this video!

Definitely need more content like this! 👍👍

I like the space your using and all the toys/decorations in the background.

Great video! I love these type of discussion podcasts / videos. Have a topic in mind but just letting the conversation take you all on a journey. Keep making more of these and longer! Can't wait for the next one!

I love this and I didn't know I would love this. Not too big of a fan of podcasts but I will watch yours for sure. Lets do this!

Fantastic format! Please kee it floating

Loving this podcast idea, hoping for more in the future. Always a great day when you guys upload a new vid.

Cool Idea Fellas! Any update on the Gamechaser Movie Orders?

This is perfect guys, looking forward to future episodes!

2012 "And I just knew I had to have it" 2023 "And I just knew I had to sell it"

Please do more of these! I am a big fan of when you guys just sit and talk about whatever.

Keep it natural. It flows well. Melvor’s lav was a little low at times but I could still make it all out. Looking forward to the next.

Glad to see the channel growing at last, enjoying the podcast👍

Man I've watched you guys since 2016 and I still find myself getting giddy when you guys post something. You guys along with other gaming channels have gotten me into game collecting and collecting other things as well. Its been fun and created moments with other people that I wouldn't of known of if it wasn't for game collecting it definitely got me out of my shell. And playing games I never heard of or played before has been fun as well. Cheers guys 🍻 keep the content going.

For a second it's like "awwwww, our chasers grew up" and then the name calling, cutting off, bodily functions, and arguing take me right back to where I wanna be.... It's perfect!😂 Also Mental Vomit needs to be an Emo band if it isn't already 😂😂😂 great video guys👍
