[vortigaunt20]

This video makes me feel nostalgic for an age of video gaming that I never took part in (i'm only 13).

[AdventureQuestInfo]

thumbs up if you knew "We didn't start the fire" before this

[Dimebag204]

I don't care what people say... I'm proud to be a gamer.

[Hamgammy]

@Dimebag204 wise fwom yon gwave

[TheLegend1800]

the beginning made me orgasim from all the nostalgia power up sounds, and the half life referenced made me yell in happiness that it was mentioned 4 times! over all, the best history lesson i have ever had. i am proud to be a gamer

[vortigaunt20]

The 62 people who disliked this will die by the Master Sword!

[MrJustpostin]

@vortigaunt20 Na, You need something more effective like a crowbar

[Nanabobo]

This song fills me with much more pride than it should.

[verta5000]

Billy Joel would be proud of this.

[tomol6]

I'm gonna become world famous just so I could tell people about this video.

[spartan4821]

all gamers, please drop your controllers and stand for the sining of our national anthem!

[MaxiTaxiFullOfPeoplz]

[brentmcbrent]

[brentmcbrent]

SO EPIC, might even be better than "Livin' In The Fridge"

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

YEAHZ!

[BellaVita1890]

This is epic. I already adored this song but you guys just made it that much better!!!

[jacquesgambl36]

[hippiechik95]

@AbrahamCollins Well, it's catchy. What if someone wanted to sing along?

[spear401]

:D HOLY FUCK THAT WAS AWSEOME!!!!!!

[AbrahamCollins]

The subtitles ruined it. They're too distracting.

[antheunis011]

i like cutscenes

[RiddleAnim]

DLC! SCREW THE FEE! 3DS AND HALF-LIFE 3! (plz)

I loved that bit. It perfectly encapsulates modern gamers.

[CaptainIcy]

@RiddleAnim Indeed it does. O.o

[TheRapMetalKidIvan]

[antheunis011]

@TheRapMetalKidIvan te pjesme nisu ni blizu slične

[TheRapMetalKidIvan]

@antheunis011 dio kad nabraja !

[Zimmydoom99]

@TheRapMetalKidIvan This is a parody of "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel from 1989.

[mewcherry1996]

I feel like it's appropriate that I usually watch this on my Wii.

[reitifoh]

[DudeGuyPerson64]

[Omegalore]

I listened to this earlier on the radio. Merry Christmas everyone.

[tomol6]

I remember back when they posted this on Bob'sHouseofVideoGames.

[Wolfbat9]

I listened to this song when it was first uploaded to YouTube, and I''m still listening to it most days. I just love getting struck by a wave of nostalgia!

[seandub13]

@Wolfbat9 same

[Wolfbat9]

@seandub13 I think I got off Dorkly too. Has to be, as I'm not subbed to Pope Friction or anything...

[beyondnathangames]

breifer: video games are awesome. the end.

[TheScissorSalad]

60 years of proud gaming and rolling strong

[RickardAas]

How the heck could they get that many games into one song? :O

[GirzMyla213]

1:56 It. Is pronounced. "poke-EH-mon"!!!! (my only gripe with the song, and it is a pet peeve of mine.)

[TheDustGaming]

In Croatia we have this as a commercial (shortened) on our national gaming channel called Playomania :D

[antheunis011]

nije skraćeno, o čem ti to brbljaš

[TheDustGaming]

@antheunis011 skraceno je nije sve stavljeno jedan dio je, ili je prije bio...kolko se ja sjecam skraceno je

[mmm6325]

@antheunis011 ako si gledo na playomaniji pred kraj ubace nesto sa uwe bollom.zapravo nije skraceno nego fali taj dio

[antheunis011]

[Sarcredsleuth]

We have all done a GREAT DEAL, in a small TIMESPAN.

Thank you, vidya gaems. Thank you.

[LovroLovesRock]

[RockInsideOfYou]

Holy fuck. I remember seeing this video around 2 years ago, and then I've tried to find it for the past year and a half.

And I finally have.

I feel complete now.

[ARNGRIMPRO]

Goldeneye, perfect game ♫ perfect dark, not the same ♫

[MexicanLatina18]

[Awdawdafra]

"another big video coming out this Fall"

Russia's waiting for your masterpiece )

[swaftube]

Great video, Who would have ever known that the universal thing to do to something that doesnt work is "blow" on it?

[YoshiFan300]

It's odd how QWOP wasn't mention.

[YoshiFan300]

It's odd how QWOP wasn't mention.

[VigorousjammerX]

I don't get why you guys don't have more views, this is great :D

[THExMADxHATT3R]

at my school we have and Electronic History class where we talk about the history of electrical items and achievements and near the end of the semester we do a whole unit on Video Games!

[beastglitcher24]

3:18 ... i do that every day of my life lol

[CROxMAT1]

music for gamers!!!!!!!!!



[thedarksoul789]

it took me half the video to find out they were saying the wii didnt start the fire

[Xaxustheelite]

Where the F*** was Duke Nukem? He's kinda important.

[Wyrdwad]

@Xaxustheelite - You can hear Duke Nukem quotes playing in the background of the song toward the end of the video. Pretty clearly, too!

[av3nger3]

Yahtzee  3:13 lambda hlalf-life

[Mik3LVGP]

what a coincidence, this video was uploaded on Miyamoto's birthday ... :)

[tdzida]

the wii didn t start the fire

[tomol6]

Seriously, this needs way more views.

[souleatercrona123]

FINISH HIM!

[LordStormdragon]

OK people... let's start posting our "Completion percentage" - the amount of things listed in the video that we actively own. I'm at 82% - can anybody beat that?

[Daniraldo01]

To me, Warcraft 3 is better than World of Warcraft.

[Jimmy35734]

Leeeeeroyyyt Jeeeeeeenkiiiiins!!!

[TheM3nt0ss]

uwe boll sucks xD

[JimBob4233]

one question: why do none of you people remember Spyro?

[lemywincks]

@JimBob4233 spyro was my main man

[123wowboy123]

Kotor, Half life, fuck they got all the good ones!

[RavenGlenn]

Great vid other than the whole 'The Wii didn't start the fire' bits. I know you were trying to fit the classic song, but still...what fire has Wii started? It boomed as grandmas and parents flocked to buy it for their kiddies and then has been dying a slow death ever since.

[Baieros]

This is my favorite song and your best video!

[Try2TakeMeDown]

lol @ 3:16

[coastersplus]

This... is... amazing!

[TheChrislikespie]

NINTENDO SIXTY FOUR

[JackTR21]

When the first thing I hear is a saturn booting up I'm happy

[Klimby0]

Half Life 3 (plz?)

[Poketeddy]

I love that Kingdom Hearts and KOTOR got a spot, i love those games :)

[gofojibwas]

@Poketeddy KOTOR was in there? I missed it...

[Poketeddy]

@gofojibwas 2:36 :)



[Djbiohazard1991]

@doctoroctagonapus23

Who dares to desecrate the holy tomb of fail?!

[firegremln]

"DLC

Screw the fee!"

I agree!

[rockonmusic9]

TOO MUCH WIN! Liked, favorited, and subscribed. :D

[DaleyDerek]

ALmsot makes me cry

[Kage848]

Just amazing! 'nuff said

[Flashuploads]

WHERES MY HL3!!

[Astindan]

Epic amazingness in all its 720p glory. Amazing how times change. I'm so glad we don't blow cartridge anymore, unless if you dig that.

[claystripe6514]

This is... amazing.

[atomicdonutinc]

So many memories... Once it said Nintendo 64 I was like 0.0 Awesome! I still play it :P

[keniakittykat]

Wow arrives, lonely wives, orcs and dwarfs and ruined lives... xD best lyric of the song!

[CookiCompany]

@JaTomaroTodosNome exactly

[DarknessofWhite]

I found this the day it was posted, and I am still in love with it. It goes through my head every time I think of getting a new game or system lol!

[PopeFriction]

@DarknessofWhite thank you for the kind words! I am happy that our creation can give people happiness :D We have another big video coming out this Fall, look out for it!

[RaterTotz]

@DarknessofWhite no way me too

[IzzyFacebook]

I started on Sega. Grew up on N64. Now I own half of the best game titles between 1980 and 2000 on my computer. I do have an Xbox 360. I only play series though. No new stuff. -Nostalgia Guy Izzy

[GalladeXtreme]

56 people have yet to beat any of these games.

[richardfps123]

NO BATTLEFIELD!?.....i am disappointed...

[olimarman911]

@richardfps123 That's because it hasn't taken off... yet...

[PrrrromotionGiven]

My favourite will always be SEGA. The Dreamcast just had so much advanced shiznit. Imma gonna make a list: VMUs, Motion Control, 128 bit, Online play, Internet Browsing, DLC, Demos using DLC, ah good times. No offence to any of you guys, but a lot of game and console developers lie about their achievements. EG: Nintendo and sometimes Sony (some PS2 weird thing) claiming to invent motion control, same for new generation consoles and DLC, which as far as I know the wii still dosen't have. SEGA FTW

[StefkeVanDriel]

@PrrrromotionGiven While Nintendo and, to a lesse extent, Sony didn't invent all the things you mentioned, they implemented things in such a way that many of these things have become industry standards. Sure, there were D-pads before the NES, but the NES made it work in such a way that it was going to be stable in the industry for many, many years. The same goes for shoulder buttons, analog sticks, rumble, analog triggers, motion control, touch screens, etc.

[tomhas10]

a history lesson i wouldn't mind having!

[Shadowkunakari]

This is the best thing in the world.

[Sonic94Speed]

My Awesomely Epic Chart is Over 900000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000 XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Sonic94Speed]

Yay Super Awesome History Blast XDDDDD and I played and know a lot of Video games XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD especially the Sonic series and many others!!!

[firegremln]

Also, half life 3? It's become the new duke nukem

[firegremln]

[dogymon]

[kirbyzilla19]

[CCmachine]
