Billys Snes Collection

Sigh, if I could tell the 9 year old me something it'd be "keep all your games, no its not worth selling your SNES to buy stuff and for the love of god keep as many boxes in good condition as you can"

The Last Bandit

I agree with him.

Jack burton

Watched it yesterday. Cant wait for part 2

Optimus Prime

Just bought the Season1 DVD off indigogo, they have well over the funds needed to make it already, worked out at 23 Euro including delivery but the will sign it too if you ask in the comment section, love this show so much figured it was worth throwing them 23 for it.

70 hours or so left on the Indiegogo campaign, disc 3 will be an exclusive to pre-orders only. They'll also sign the dvd for you if you request it - http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-game-chasers-season-1-dvd/x/4574110

They must be going to sell a 2 disc version as well then? if disc 3 is exclusive to pre-orders, I just bought the disc myself, looking forward to watching it, ive been thinking about watching them all again anyways, so ill hold on until i get the dvd.

Yep the normal, stocked version, will be a 2-disc version. Disc 3 will be exclusive to pre-orders. I went ahead & got the dvd/game bundle, no doubt it'll be a Mario/Duckhunt or something but just knowing it came from the game chasers will do me

ARGH. I love the Game chasers but dont know if I can bring myself to buy a DVD. Cause it will literally sit on a shelf for years before I sit down to watch it.

Do it, even if you don't watch it for ages, there's a whole exclusive disc that'll be there waiting for you.

The more I watch this, the more I want to do this around Ireland.

Can only imagine there are charity shops and halting sites full of magnavox odysseys, Neo Geos and Vectrexes waiting to be filmed.

Never heard of this before and it is amazing, thanks Enternow.

No probs, actually you've ten hours left to pre-order the Season 1 dvd. There's an exclusive third disc for pre-orders only - http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-game-chasers-season-1-dvd/x/4574110

Enjoy watching them, really makes you wanna go out & buy games though lol

Thargor

Makes me want to finally sort out a proper media center pc with every ROM for every system ever made on it and a couple of wireless controllers for under the tv.

Gah, no fun collecting roms! Buy the old systems & treat yourself to some authenticity :P

Thargor

No time, no space

Wanted to build a media centre for ROMs ever since I saw this on Reddit:

Right that's it, I'm doing it!

Go for it so! Pick up a usb pad & embrace that retro brilliance

They have passed the 40k mark which they added as a stretch goal, so now we get a video of dondongo or something too..

Yeah Jay & Dodongo will don the Tigger suits again & go downtown or something. The 27k goal was far better, they're buying 10 games valued at $100 to give away randomly for the dvd/game bundles....pretty cool thing to incentivise it I thought

James Howlett

I've been watching these on lunch breaks lately and now I'm really bummed that I didn't put an order in for the Season 1 DVD.

I think Billy says in that last video I posted, that they are thinking about extending the Indiegogo campaign for a few weeks, so you might be in luck...

James Howlett

Sweet, I'll keep an eye out for that.

Thargor

Was flicking through my roms folder last night after finishing watching all these, Little Samson is actually a very decent platformer, it would have been one of my all time favorites if Id gotten it back in the day I think.

The other rare onels like Chubby Cherub and the Flinstones Pride Rock are complete cack though.

Do games like that being PAL instead of NTSC drop the prices a lot if you come across them in the wild over here do you know?

Thargor

Yes! I was waiting for the "Gone our separate ways" announcement it had been so long, Billys video logs are complete sh1te.

I think they're just flat out sorting the dvd orders, & he mentioned too about having a ton of episodes to edit, not to mention they've already shot a few season four eps. He said in a vlog there's gonna be a steady stream of releases soon hopefully

Thargor

Is there new material on the dvds?

Myrddin

Thargor wrote: »

Yeah there are extended edits of the shows, interviews & all sorts of dvd exclusive stuff apparently

James Howlett

Got an e-mail this morning asking me to confirm my postal address for the DVD. I'm raging that I didn't get to go for the mystery game option as I only got my order in during the second round option but I will be happy enough with the bonus disc.

The e-mail asking for address confirmation was very detailed, but essentially wanted people to adhere to commonsense. It sounds like they have ample material to create a "look what kind of stupid e-mails we received from the world's strangest people" video

Myrddin

Yeah got the same email myself, I went for the dvd & game combo just for the hell of it

Optimus Prime

They didnt give an email address to send to in the email? I just replied to it? Guess thats right..

James Howlett

yeah I did the same.

Myrddin

Yeah the heading was 'Requires Reply' so I just figured it was ok to reply to that one?

James Howlett

Just got a text from my Wife to say that my DVD arrived...

So, they've finally made it all the way from Texas. Now, the final & toughest challenge yet for these parcels....An Post

Optimus Prime

I was starting to think these where never going to arrive! While im looking forward to this, i cant wait to get my Artcade book, it looks like its going to be great.

Atavan-Halen

I forgot I ordered a DVD + game combo too. Hopefully it arrives soon, although I'll probably forget again and it'll be a nice surprise

James Howlett

Does anyone else follow the gamechasers on twitter?
Everytime someone tweets them a picture of receipt of the DVD the gamechasers re-tweet, so essentially you end up seeing variations of the same picture everyday... which doesn't bug me too much.
What I don't understand is people making "unboxing videos" for the DVD. I get why someone would do this for special editions of game/ new consoles in and around the time of release but for a DVD I just don't see the point.

Optimus Prime

I dont get unboxing videos at all, i think its just stupid.

I know a few here have got their dvds in the post, has anyone not got theirs yet? mine still hasn't arrived.

If its just for the dvd then no, there's zero point. If it's a game & dvd combo though, the Game Chasers asked people to do unboxing videos to show the random game they got. When you see things like Turtles in Time being bundled in with the dvd, I guess it shows that some people got some very decent games.

Nope, still nothing here either

Ah, this I did not realise, thanks.:)
Still ragin I never went for that option, had no space on the CC the first time around but was lucky enough to get in the second round which was just the DVD + Bonus Disc.

Atavan-Halen

Still waiting on mine too. I did get an email from them the other day though to say there's still 100-150 in a to send pile so mines probably there!

Optimus Prime

Mine arrived this morning signed by all four of them!

Myrddin

Still no sign of mine

Kenjataimu

Got mine yesterday.

Myrddin

Yay my dvd & game combo landed this morning
