The Game Masters

Tonight's episode will be a little different. We want to talk about the best ways to buy video games, at stores, conventions, you name it! We also want to talk about the Neo Geo AES+ and how exciting this is for the Retro Game Community!

Tonight's episode will be a little different. A lot has happened since the last show. I hit a new milestone of 14,500 subscribers and lost my YouTube channel! That's right, it got hijacked and because of MY stupidity! How did this happen? Well, we are going to talk about it and talk about how I got it back!

These stories and issues happen more than once. Going to conventions, dealing with resellers, it's bound to happen. HORROR stories. We talk about them tonight!

Have you ever gotten so involved in collecting that you become a shelf collector because you don't have time to play games? Has anyone ever told you that? Do you want to be able to play games, not just sit them on your shelf? We discuss this today. What We’re Covering: The Games: Are localizations and content "adjustments" ruining the original vision, or are they necessary for modern audiences? Th...

Do you want to build a game room? Not just any game room, but a MASTER gameroom? We talk about how you can make your game room the best it possibly can be!

Have you debated about selling your video game collection? When is a good time to sell? Did you fall on hard times? Do you just not want to collect anymore? We'll talk about this tonight!

The "censorship" debate in gaming is a minefield, but we’re walking right into it. Where do we draw the line between protecting a community and stifling creativity? Tonight, we’re breaking down the layers of control currently hitting our hobby. What We’re Covering: The Games: Are localizations and content "adjustments" ruining the original vision, or are they necessary for modern audiences? The Co...

Have you ever donated money, games, or time to YouTubers? Did you regret your decision? Do you still donate? Should you donate? We discuss it here tonight!

Are gaming YouTubers becoming irrelevant? Are they in it just because it's the next big thing? Have they used it for financial gain for their next endeavor? We talk about it here!

How do you classify retro? Are they cartridge-based games? Is it systems/games 20 years old? We discuss this here!

When things go wrong, blame the YouTubers. When you don't get what you want, blame the YouTubers. When prices on video games go up, we blame the YouTubers, right?

How do you feel about video game resellers? Good? Bad? Ugly? Should they be supported? We talk about it!

A new year, new conventions, new collecting options, but are you debating why you're doing this? Have you thought about quitting the scene? We talk about it!

In this Live and in-person episode of The Game Masters, Brandi and I discuss the future, what we'd like to see, and what maybe you guys would want for the show!

Merry Christmas, everyone! On this special Christmas episode, we sit down with Brian Wizzner of the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo and talk about a lot of cool things! Enjoy this special Christmas episode.

Do you remember your first gaming holiday moment? Do you remember waking up on Christmas morning, after asking for that Nintendo or Sega system? Maybe that game you just couldn't wait to get? We'll talk about it tonight!

For those of us who collect, did you ever stop and think about where your collection would go in the event that you pass away? What is your plan?

There are all kinds of collectors. Completionists, single system, even those who "collect" because their friends are collecting, and it seems like the cool thing to do. So what do you get that gamer who has everything? We are gonna talk about it today!

There are a lot of things this time of year that we are thankful for. But what about other creators? We want to take this episode and this opportunity to thank those who have supported us, as we started.

How do you prepare for gaming conventions? How much money do you set aside? How do you choose which convention to go to?

Have you ever seen a collector and thought, "I would never allow my spouse to do that?" Or "I wouldn't want all that stuff in my house." Then this is the episode for you!

What do you think are the weirdest or craziest controllers ever made? We have a list that we think, maybe you'll agree, maybe you won't. But tune in, it should be fun!

Everyone has this question; everyone asks this question of collectors. How do you still afford retro video games? Do you have a special amount you set aside? Do you sell other hobbies to get what you want? Maybe a second job? We discuss this tonight!

Have you ever said to yourself, man, my collection is getting out of hand? Maybe I'm buying too much? When is too much, too much? We talk about it!

Recently we had the chance to talk to the younger generation about our collecting habits. Were we crazy? Are we out of control? You will be surprised to hear what they had to say!
