I love you man please take this comment as inspiration do more of these vids ur great at them and your ideas are so creative, I’ve loved these kinds of vids man
I’m so grateful to have been given the opportunity to help you out on this project. Such a wholesome video. It’s so refreshing to see something so real, pure and honest on the internet. Thanks again Jay, this was a lovely memory, and a highlight of my career which I will look back on for the rest of my life :)
As RU-vid videos go, this is the gold standard. This is what RU-vid was made for. Not only is it entertaining, it also gets an emotion across to the viewers and makes them think about their own personal nostalgia. The amount of effort put into this just bleeds out through the screen it's almost art. I think there's a lot more to jay than meets the eye. Thank you Jay.
You said it bro. Love how genuine jay is. Just does what makes him happy instead of following the crowds and catering for what people expect from a modern day RU-vid video. No clickbait or giving away money for views. Like this video. He’s Just doin something every kid dreams of when they get into gaming. Need more Guys like you jay !
The clever thing here is that he got a lot of views and its done with no coding because he does mention he coded but this is like clickbait as it doesn't require coding knowledge as others have commented as its using the GB Studio game engine.Real commercial GB games,like Mario 1 or Tetris,, ,are made in assembly language only. Games made with GB Studio are not allowed for sale last time I read.
mate this video is beautiful you shouldn't have been nervous at all, amazingly put together and i even had to take a moment to go give my mum a hug after you called yours in the video much love man keep it up
@@JaySwingler I totally get that, it was amazing - easily one of the best videos i've seen on this platform in a long time and i already know you're gonna keep leveling it up with each vid you put out ❤
The evolution of Jay Swingler is both mad and heartwarming simultaneously. Keep growing Jay, quality video concept and execution. I'm not crying, you're crying 😢
This is a genuine masterpiece jay, I’ve been watching since like 2015 and I’ve never seen you do something this beautiful, a mix of humour and a deep relatable message, simply incredible.
Never before have I witnessed Jay go so deep and openly share his thoughts and childhood with us and going above and beyond to create a game for a modern Gameboy. The message at the end hits hard too, because it’s so true. This man was brought up in a good way and has helped people, made good fun for us constantly, and created good memories. We will never forget these as fans, most certainly not.
This actually is one of the best RU-vid videos I’ve ever watched. Jay creating everything on his own is mad, but the message behind it all is what made the video. Great work Jay, can’t wait to see what’s in store next!
Not going to lie.. me being 29 watching this and just listening to Jay talk about the past and nostalgia got me all emotional man. He’s right though! Life is so short, you people who are a lot younger than me cherish everything you have or people around you because as soon when you get older life changes so much, a lot of the time I wish I could be younger again.
I dont comment on videos but this hits hard, memories of watching tgf 5,6 years ago is a nostalgic memory and even to this day i still re watch videos. Im not one to cry much but this got me in floods, then laughing, then floods again. Jay you are so great and bring happiness to so many. This completely changed my view on nostalgia and made me think deep and hard for the good. Thank you so much Jay and congratulations on all your success and i wish much more for you. This hits deep man.
From being a fan since 2016 at 10 years old and stumbling across tgf I never thought you guys would become my idols, my confidence for being me and my humour has been inspired from you. Thank you Jay, thank you everyone. Have a nice life.
The message you like, embedded into the video itself is beautiful man. I don’t think we actually miss our childhood as a whole, we just miss those select moments from it all. Or when you miss an ex you don’t actually miss the person, you miss the memory of that person and reflect on the happy memories as a defensive mechanism for the hurt you go through… as a channel tgf has helped me through things such as trauma or depression because when I’d have a bad day at school or felt neglected I would, and still do, watch a TGF video or similar. Mainly because you actually are down to earth and haven’t changed as you’ve grown, like you’re still humble in yourself and not many RU-vidrs are like that which makes videos more relatable and fun to watch… thankyou for all the videos you put out and the effort you put into them. I don’t know if you will see this jay but idk what else to say but love man. Bless
Wow… just wow jay, you’re the RU-vidr I aspire to be someday. This has gotten to be the best video I’ve seen, the message behind the video really pulled some strings and made me tear up. You’re truly one of the reasons I started a RU-vid channel a couple months ago. I want to make peoples lives better just as you do and all I can say is thank you. You’re truly the most down to earth person on this platform and I cannot thank you enough. And I’m just some random person in Texas that’s watched you and Rommel for the past 4/5 years now. Much love man, keep doing you!
This video hit home hard, I find myself reminiscing on the “good old times” of when I’d be up late, playing cod with all my friends, or some moments at school with friends, but, in all honesty I was suffering horribly, I was incredibly depressed and just didn’t want to be here, didn’t think I’d even see 18, and now I’m 23, I have an incredible job that I absolutely love and I’m earning good money, I have actual physical friends and not just ones online, and in general my life is just going really well. Im exactly where I wished I could have been back then and yet im sitting here wishing I could go back in time… well, until I watched this video, im not usually one to comment on videos but thank you Jay, I needed this
Bro this vid got so emotional for me when you gifted all your bros the gameboys and seeing the smiles on their faces, and I also got soooo much nostalgia it nearly made me cry, I love you sooo sooo much and the things that you've done for us for our entertainment is unreal, keep doing what you love cause no mater what, we will keep watching as long as we know you're making the videos about what you love. ❤
This video has genuinely changed my outlook on so many things. I feel that he has shown us the meaning to a message we’ve need to/been hearing most of our life’s. I’m always going to be forever grateful for people like Jay. True idols
I’ve been watching TGF for a very long time now and I have to say, this video is something else man. I would always reminisce the days with friends at school or all those times when there was no care for what happened around us, only having a good time was the priority. The concept of nostalgia is a crazy one, and this video in a lot of ways is super inspiring. Well done Jay, you’ve just set the bar higher for content creation ✨
This has truly got to be my favorite video on this platform, not only does it hit close to home for the nostalgia feelings but also because I have seen you and your friends grow so I'm sure a true TGF fan would be able to know genuine those reactions were from your mates!
the creativity behind every childish drop is INSANE, so much thought, individuality and thought goes into each one, in my opinion, the best merch on the internet. So much respect for making each one different and actually putting thought into it.
This is honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. The reactions from both jay and Romell sent shivers don’t my spine and you all looked so happy. Well done jay we’re all so proud of you
Jay this is a truly beautiful video. TGF has always been a form of comfort to me and in some ways falls into that nostalgic realm of the 'good old days' when I was a teenager. There have been times when I miss the old crazy content because it was an escape for me but that was simply to remove myself from the negativity going on throughout my teenage years. After hearing your perspective on Nostalgia it got me thinking. If I was to go back to those moments of popcorn machine cars and seeing you jet ski through my home town, sure I may laugh but it doesn't compare to the emotion that I felt throughout this video. The quality of content that you have been producing is absolutely incredible and seeing the enlightenment you bring to others through your hard work and technical skills is inspiring. As a recently graduated graphic design student I have felt lost not knowing whether my work would ever impact anybody but after seeing someone put their heart and soul into a project that makes people happy I now see a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for inspiring me to stay focused on my dreams and aspirations and showing me that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
jay this video was amazing. the ending part really hit me about the past and the nostalgia. i really needed to hear that because i always tell everyone that i miss all the old things and wished i was back to that point in time but in reality i needed to make more of those memories so that i could cherish this time now but in the future. I've been watching you since i was a little kid in primary school and now i am 19 years old still enjoying the content both you and Romell continue to push out. I've been through so many struggles growing up but having you both in my life really saved me and i am very grateful for that. i love to see you happy and putting out content you enjoy and that we enjoy just as much. keep it up we all love you jay. i hope i get to meet you soon like how i met your dad like 3 years ago in Wednesbury. I'm hopefully going to be able to buy the merch this drop not only for me but to support you as much as i can. keep shining, keep being you and most of all don't stop being childish
3 minutes into the video and I am in tears. I really love the direction you’re going with this channel Jay. ❤️ Keep it up I love and appreciate you so much!
this is real growth right here, been watching from early days and i think you've really found your groove with this one. Not just entertaining but meaningful. This video in and of its self encapsulates what you were talking about as you're going to look back on it and be so grateful you put it out. Amazing video, well done Jay.
Definitely one of your best videos. So impacting and nostalgic.. yet very subtle Loved the message of the video Pure entertainment and thats rare these days Well done Jay
This video is probably one of the best videos you have ever made, if not the best. Nostalgia hits home for literally anyone, as we all have some sort of nostalgic memories about some part or something in our lives. This vid made me so happy and the ending was such a reality check as to creating new memories to miss. I truly believe that this video is a masterpiece. Thank you so much for creating this Jay❤️
I found it so heartwarming seeing jay getting so emotional. Gave me goosebumps when romell got gassed. The advice at the end really hit close to home. Amazing video ❤❤
I got chills at the end because I’ve never thought of nostalgia like that, and as jay talked all my memories replayed in my head. Made me emotional because I still watch TGF videos to remember my past. And that last quote was amazing. Love you Jay thank you for the memories. TGF for life
man these videos are just so nice to watch, the way you are editing the videos is just so wholesome. i watched you since i was a little kid and remember all the old videos of tgf and everytime i watch them it feels like im a kid again. Keep on doing what you doing you are making so many people smile ❤
this video has got to be one of the best videos jay has ever made in my opinion, jay has not only gone and made us all miss the good times but he has also taught us all something too. i say hats off to jay for creating something we can all feel and get emotional. all i can say is thank u for creating this masterpiece you have taken me on a rollercoaster of emotions there. We love you Jay keep up the amazing content and i hope reading this brings light to your day :)
U can tell jay is so happy In life all I want to say is congrats for everything I’ve been a fan for like 6 years I love everything you’ve ever done I got all the hoodies everything back to point seeing jay truly made me emotional and rethink my life I feel like a changed person as stupid as that sound we all love you jay💙
I've not seen any of your videos for a while. Just going threw them now. I'm loving the meaningful messages in them. You've grown as a person but still fun and silly which is a great balance. 👍 Thanks for this message, I needed it!
Mate 😢 it’s so fulfilling to see you have a wave of emotions & get that moment of appreciation that I’ve had too. You captured a thing I’ve felt and I’m happy for you. Keep achieving your goals and never set the next 1 too low cos’ you’re gonna keep hitting them 💪 Nice work fella 😉
this genuinely has got to be one of my favorite videos coming from you. same jay energy but the heartfelt portions of the video really hit today. thank you for this brodie 🖤
this video knocked the wind outta me, I'm 33 and have experienced the same 'nostalgic want' many times, wishing i was back in them moments, when actually i should've been thinking in the now, you have now gimme a boost and a kick up the ass which was so needed, i love you new outlook on life and will be adopting and adapting it to myself, much love and keep the awesome videos coming dude, bless
this video perfectly shows what RU-vid was created for and I really hope that one day RU-vid goes back to being a place for creative people like you Jay to put out videos like these. Watching this video brought back so many memories from my childhood aswell as brought back memories of what RU-vid used to be, the good old days.
This was beautiful, this is not RU-vid this is a masterpiece, this is not just a video about making a game it’s a journey that you take the audience on, it’s so rare that content creators can make stuff like this but you are pushing the boundaries
@@sneer0101 I got excited at first and saw that all the assets were already there and he did absolutely nothing. Wish he put effort into at least hiring someone to make him art and then he actually codes it
This is actually 10/10 an inspiring video, filled with plenty of content, a tearjerker chucked in and finishing with some life advice! It honestly is an amazing watch!
I love the content you’re making now, can tell it’s making you happy too. It’s not all about extremes, people invest in people. You and romell’s relationship and you guys being you are what we wanna see what do you meeeean. Seriously tho big up man, my boyfriend was diagnosed in November with heart failure at the age of 33 and it’s been really hard for him and for us, the message of this video and your videos in general have given us the highs to keep going. Thank you man 🙌
I never thought there would be a day that Jay Swingler made us cry😢 He has grown so much on his own, the creativity and effort is just unmatched. Keep doing what you love ✨
Can easily say I was expecting a banger and that’s what we got but I was not expecting to go on such an emotional journey! Jays story telling and video talent as well as the drive to get these crazy ideas done is absolutely mental. Best creator on RU-vid.
Wow, I have to say that was absolutely amazing! The level of quality and effort you put into every aspect of the content is truly outstanding. From the engaging storytelling to the flawless editing and captivating visuals, you've set the standard for how any content creator should make their videos. Your attention to detail and passion shine through, making it a truly immersive experience. Keep up the incredible work Jay, can't wait to see what you have planned next 💙
This is hands down the best video that you've ever released. Not only putting in all the hours making the console, game and then video. The way you talk about nostalgia is so relatable and honest. It's absolutely class 👏
This is truly one of my favourite RU-vid videos ever. The way you described nostalgia, bro it blew me away. Been following you boys for years and just want to say never give up on you content, no matter what it be. Please don't be scared to make these types of videos, they're awesome.
Hands down one the of the best videos I’ve watched on this entire platform, Jay is an unbelievably talented fella, the creativity, effort and drive is what makes him stand out from the rest, a true GOAT of the RU-vid community.
“Focus on the now create new memories to miss in the future because in 5 years…. You’ll be wishing you were here… Right where you are now.” I love this quote Jay. Also thank you for the amazing videos over the years you and the boys created. Love you guys ❤️🙌
This video helped me countless amounts with my toretts and my mental health’s I’m 25 now and my life’s been tough but people have had it a lot worse but bro Thankyou so much for being yourself and a genuine person and you I’ve watched you since I was at school and seen how far you have come I cried when you called yourself I struggle daily but these videos keep me going Dude so Thankyou!!
holy fuck, been holding back tears the whole time, this is truly a one of a kind video. From the journey of the game's creation with the incredible insight and answer to nostalgia, along with the reactions from the boys, absolutely stunning work mr swingler
Almost cried listening to Jay get emotional. Seeing the younger version of him smiling, his smile hasn’t even changed yet he’s a new person. I love how he makes his friends happy it’s so special. Younger jay probably wouldn’t expect him to be where he is now but you can still sense a glimpse of younger jay in him now. Nostalgia is a funny thing, that minecraft music bring me so much joy and so much sadness at the same time . Nostalgia just works in funny ways, as you can never rmeber even a minute because those happy times you rmeber were short while they lasted. And they are deep or only a couple seconds because as jay said those were momentary happy feelings are all we can remember because our brain is trained to forget about the sad moments, creating nostalgia. Don’t miss the past. Crave the future
This. This right here. This is one of the best videos from not only a nostalgic perspective, but also a creative one. Putting time and effort into projects like this and documenting it for fans to see is what RU-vid is all about. Unreal Jay Swingler. Unreal. 👏🏼
Bro!... this HIT hard! Ive never seen such amazing commitment from a UK youtuber to deliver such an amazing watch. Perfect balance of everything man, this really hit home. We arent getting any younger.
this is by far one of the best videos i’ve ever watched, you couldn’t have said what you said any better and i think you nailed it, theres so many things i want to try and do in my life and this video has motivated me to go out and just do it because if you don’t, you’ll always look back at what could’ve been
honestly some of the best content on youtube and one of the greatest humans on earth. going from those first videos of doing anything you can to hurt yourself to creating cinematically beautiful sequences, with heartwarming yet above creative content is a pleasure to watch. my nostalgia is watching YOUR videos when I was young at school, waiting for your christmas calendar to drop. huge hats off to you Jay x
What a video Jay! Been following you since early TGF days and to see the transition to this sort of video is great, I know not long ago you were in a limbo to decide which way you wanted to take your channel, you certainly haven’t disappointed mate! Hope to see more content like this and some other of your most recent vids!
The message at the end of this video is beautiful, and to see jay come this far is amazing remembering when he used to do videos in his back garden to see him making his own stuff by himself is amazing, congrats jay proud of you
I think Jay has actually really helped with something I’ve been struggling with lately. I really hold onto nostalgia because of the fear of aging and not accomplishing things I have wanted to achieve at my current age. But I worry so much that I don’t focus on what’s important in the present 🤔 Really amazing video, and genuinely something that hits hard ☺️
This is the best video you’ve ever made. You’re creatively blows my mind you are constantly finding the best content and connecting to your viewers on an emotional level. I’ve been watching TGF since 2018. It’s been a amazing journey and you just keep going. Much love ❤️
Ok I've had to pause after that phone call to your mum .... I've got tears flowing down my face and I can't see if I'm writing properly but ..... wow ... to hear u say those things and hear ur new understanding of the past seeing good times when at the time u might have not have thought it was a good or bad time .. .I believe it is exactly why we experience nostalgia to be able to look back in stressful times at something good and be thankful like u never were before breaks the chains that bind us into ungratefulness and self pity .... I cry these tears from happiness .. to be able to witness such a beautiful moment ... thank u ....
Broooo what journey life is and to know I've bring watching tgf for so long to see how far you and Romel came,from watching you both jump into nettle with ksi or making hot chocolate in a bin to jump off your mom roof to see what you you both are doing now is just amazing.
Jay, the content you've been uploading is actually incredible... I'm an old school TGF fan and recently I've stumbled across your new videos and it has simply been a great pleasure watching them. Keep it up man! Greetings from belgium.
mad respect jay. this brings me back to when I found the same gameboy in a car my mum bought many years ago, same colour as well. the video blew me away the expectation I had was low because its your first game and the hours you put in shows your hard work
Amazing video, with what you did with the game and childish advance, lots of laugh of loud moments in their too, then the message with what you was speaking on… I felt deeply. No other RU-vidr would be remotely capable of all of that in one video. I’ve been watching you since tgf the beginning. I have so much respect and love to you Jay, keep going, you deserve all your successes ❤️
Brilliant video mate was nice showing appreciation to your mom. I know your family grown up with your cousins (priory boys aye we lol) so I know first hand you're a good bunch of people. You also went through school with my partner your a good lad Jay keep smashing it bro 👍
Jay bro this is some video, it was ace seeing the lads reactions that was so wholesome and the fact of the message you have put along side this is wonderful. The content recently has been out of this world and I can’t wait for the next one. You’re the goat Jay keep at it my shun
This is one of the best videos ever! This has inspired me to do so much more, thank you Jay! Please don’t stop with your amazing content! Another idea you could add to this if you wanted to take it further is maybe making a childish case for it too with the slots for the game/maybe future games! 😊
Ive gone through some heavy stuff these past 3 mnths, and after seeing this vid Jay, legit absolutely made my day/evening bro, been amazing to see you grow man been amazing to see everything youve done, mad respect brother. End of this vid you spoke solid facts, keep up the amazing work man, the work that went into the gameboys and everything aswell well done man🎉. Nostalgia hits hard 🎉
Oh Jay I been holding back tears this whole video to see not only how you've grown but how I've grown with you those days at school when I would talk about tgf videos with my friend's and now we're all out here doing grown up shit wishing we were back at school those memories fill my soul but its just like you said in 5 years time we're gonna be remembering today and wishing we could come back. I just loved who you've become I love how you changed, grown, matured and I love how you love life everytime I wear my childish hoodie I wear it with the most pride one could possibly have as it's a symbol of moments like this that absolutely make me thank my lucky stars I ever found you and Romell. Love you man
Jay, this has to be the best video I have watched from both a TGF and personal channel perspective. With the perfect mix of comedy and seriousness you aimlessly reeled me in so I could watch without losing focus. I am someone who doesn’t let his feeling overpower him but the one emotion I can’t control is nostalgia. With that being said you hit the nail on the head regarding it and this became my favourite video. As a brum lad myself I’m glad out of us all you were blessed with the opportunity to create content❤️
jay im from birmingham and im 20 and ive been experiencing the exact same thing its deep but we shouldnt focus on the past and just focus on the memories you can make with your own and making sure that your future kids life are just as lovely,great video man
This direction you have decided to go in with all your new videos is absolutely nothing but fire. An emotional roller coaster. I wish I didn't have to get off. I can't wait to see more of this content. I think in my lifetime I've commented on about Five videos and this is one of them. Jay keep smashing it, you childish, not no childish, Don.
Jay, that was probably the best video ive ever watched. The quality, the effort, the time youve put into it, its amazing. And your totally right about nostalgia, I often think about going back to my bedroom in my mums house playing COD 4, escape the stresses of Adult life, paying a mortgage, feeding my family. But yano the 13 year old me would of wished for the job im doing now, the house i own, the women im with, my amazing daughter. Thanks for putting it into perspective
To make a RU-vid that can actually touch and resonate with people’s hearts is amazing, you have evolved so much, thanks for this Jay this video was fucking banging
Never thought I’d cry watching a Jay Swingler video. I lost my mum three years ago and it still hurts every day. Calling your Mum and thanking her shows what a top bloke you are. Big up Jay ❤️
i absolutely love jays latest videos. you can just tell how much passion he has for these projects and videos. it really does show. views may not be as high as the tgf days but keep up the amazing content and viewers will flood back I promise ya
You know what mate, used to think your content was funny etc but grew out of it. Really enjoy the way you're making videos now, not just the builds but the maturity in your commentary too. Top content creator, much love.
