Traveling to Korea from Chicago (I was Army) took me 21 hours. Crazy to wake up, eat ANOTHER breakfast, and still be on the same plane. What I wouldn't have given to have had a retro handheld. Alas, it was 1998.

@NotSam532 Месяц назад

As someone from the UK I can say its very impressive all the different places you managed to visited. Honestly you saw far more of our country then most people have. When my American wife came to visit her first time we hit up many of the same places she loved it. London is a great Capital city

@MoviesNGames007uk Месяц назад

I personally don't recommend going to London at the moment. It's quite dangerous and it's probably the least British feeling town/city in England. York and Bath and Whitby are probably better examples and the lake District too, to visit right now.

@NotSam532 Месяц назад

@@MoviesNGames007uk Its like anything. If you stay in tourist areas you'll be fine. If you go into rough parts anywhere you can get into trouble. 99% of those crimes are gang on gang. Plus not British feeling? We have so historic landmarks. Yes London has high immigration like a lot of the world however its stupid reason not to visit. Hes a tourist visiting tourist spots hes going to see plenty of people from all over the world

Windsor Castle. Stonehenge AND Oxford in one day!!! Crazy! Well done! I have a 12 hour (ish) journey in a couple weeks, from the south of Norway where I live to my parents in Cornwall...so way out much further south west than Stonehenge (which we would often drive past from Hertfordshire, where I grew up, down to Cornwall where we used to go on holiday). I'll bring with me an assortment of devices that your videos very much lead me to, beginning with a 350m, back in September 2021. That might come...my rp3+ definitely will be with me.

Great one as always. 👌🙏 This time I wanted to share with you how i watch your videos. For me it is not just watching the video start to end. I watch it and pause it whenever i notice something new you are sharing. Could be a setting, could an emulator, could be a game you enjoy, an accessory you showcase. I pause, implement on my current device, research an item you shared (price, shipping to my country, etc.) Also having some snacks and a drink 😉 So for me it is having a break at the end of the day, and making a whole experience viewing your content. So thank you for that 🙏 keep it going.

I'm going to London, Canada for an event called Tennocon this year. It's the first time I've ever left the US and I've been stumped for the last month trying to decide which handheld(s) to bring, so I'm watching all of your travel videos to give myself some inspiration for what to bring and play for a long trip. This trip has definitely made me realize that I have way too many handhelds for someone who never travels. Between a Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Odin Lite, Miyoo Mini+, Funkey S, Switch, Razer Kishi, 3DS and Vita I all barely touch.

@logarhythm1 Месяц назад

Thanks for the London travel tips! Coincidentally I'm about to take my family to London from the U.S. for the kids' first visit in a couple of weeks, with much of the same agenda.

So it was quite a surprise when I came across this video in your channel. We've been living not too far from Richmond, which is one of our favourite spots to visit when we want to relax with the kids. I hope you had a lovely time around these parts. Cheers!

Great vid Russ. Glad you enjoyed visiting us in England. Had no idea you loved cider. I’m actually from Somerset, the true home of cider. If you ever get chance, try a scrumpy. Traditional strong flat cider. Anyway I’m glad you had such a great time. Also, if you are ever in London again without the kids, take a trip to NQ64 in Soho. It’s a nightclub/bar that serves video game themed cocktails and has a tonne of retro consoles and arcade machines to play.

I’m from the UK, it’s cool to see you over here! Especially in CeX, which is where I do a lot of my game shopping. There are very few bargains to be had there, they keep their database updated and know exactly how much everything is worth. But they do have some pretty unique stuff.

Also we love Cider and German Doner Kebab so it was very satisfying to see you highlight that in your video. 😂😂 Please allocate sometime for fan interaction next time you here😅

@stuartdarling1620 Месяц назад

One interesting fact about St Paul's you might be interested in is that planning laws in London dictate that any new tall building must be built such that lines of sight from several vantage points around London to St Paul's are maintained. If you saw two skyscrapers which were very slanted (I think one of them is the leadenhall building, otherwise known as the cheese grater) it's to maintain London's protected views. The shard is another building which almost blocked one of the viewing corridors to St Paul's. Hope you had a great time, you did tons for such a short trip! Next time consider some time in rural Scotland (hire a car), as well as The Giants Causeway and Carrick-a-rede rope bridge in northern Ireland (generally there are some beautiful places in Scotland, Ireland and Wales - the national show caves in Wales are pretty cool too and also Lundy island off the west coast of Devon).

Hi Russ, love these videos so I think you should keep them coming. I’m from Scotland and you gave me some history lessons in this video I didn’t know about Germany and London. A wee suggestion for a video…I would be so interested to see a video about your military background. Is that something you would do? Your journey how you went from there to where you are now. Keep up the great work on this channel.
