    Without a doubt one of my favourite 'YouTube series'. Been following those lads closely since day 1. Always an entertaining watch and often very funny. Dodongo is absolutely wild!

    Dondongo is hillarious :D

    The 'Alriiiight!" guy is brilliant too, & also the other guy shouting "Woooo welcome to Game Chasers woooo!" :pac::pac:

    Great show though, no bullsh1t just hunting games & getting bargains

    Never heard of this, but just watched the first two eps and it's good craic. Amazing the amount of classic games stores in the states, I didn't realize they were so many.

    Watched the latest episode and it's very entertaining alright. Proof of why the hunt 'IRL' is so much more thrilling than scouring ebay!

    That said, I'm not really convinced it's anything other than a slightly geekier Bargain Hunt, but hey we'll let them away with it ;) At least they know what a NES-001 is

    Indeed, & they address this very question in one of the Episodes. Someone asked them why they don't just buy online instead of wasting fuel/energy driving around buying them manually. The thrill of the hunt is the answer they gave :)

    I'm definitely an advocate of the 'thrill of the hunt', I might be the only person knocking around this forum who's still never used eBay :)

    watched all the episodes recently enough. It's very professionally made, and the two guys are quite funny. The Flintstones incident in episode 8 was great!

    Ever since I got the RetrowareTV app I've been watching retro gaming videos in bed at night before going to bed, the missus thinks I'm cracked.

    Why does Billy always look like he's been crying?
    Also its also amazing how stingy they are, imagine their offers on adverts.ie to some of those crazy overpriced adverts "I'll give ya a buck a piece"

    It's brilliant, but for the above reason, I find it very hard to watch!

    Ya the prices in general seem to be fairly disgusting compared to what we pay over here for stuff..

    I've not watched a single episode of these :eek:
    Do I need to watch them in order or can I start at the new eps and work backwards?

    Best to watch them from the start.

    Well I've got the camera and sound gear for another little while and a crew on standby :)
    Imagine how boring it would be filming the various markets around Dublin and Ireland in general. "Oh look, some PS2 games, wow".

    We could always fake it like they do on "American Pickers" :)

    It'd be three minutes long, and it'd be on Adverts even quicker.

    Watch them from the start, some of the gags are somewhat long running {ie the alright guy} etc. They're addictive, & really make me wanna buy things when i watch them.

    The Irish version would be balls, the retro scene here is so hit & miss....& with prices fluctuating daily one days bargain would be another days rip off :rolleyes:
