Kevin wrangled the return of Johnny Millennium for over an hour of GAMER TALK -- and we've got a crazy slate coming up. Tuesday night at 6pm ET is Jared Bauer (formerly of Wisecrack), and after that we've got BarelySociable, Coffeezilla, and Out of Frame's Sean Malone. APRIL IS BUSY and it's awesome. On to HCG...
Johnny Millennium isn’t just the HappyConsoleGamer, he’s probably the most genuine old-school nerd on YouTube. In a sea of angry video game guys, Johnny just wanted to talk about the games he loved – obscure titles like Ys and Phantasy Star. 14 years later, he’s still sharing his passion for gaming, anime, and D&D with no plans on retiring.
Kevin and Johnny get into growing up in the “quieter” 1990s, and swap Final Fantasy 7 pre-order bonus T-shirt stories. They also fanboy out on late 80s hand-drawn anime, and the soundtrack to Project A-Ko.
Johnny calls out Kevin for treating him as his personal gamer therapist and Kevin details his pendulum swing between enjoying objectively terrible and great games. We round out the discussion with some questions from Patrons and a tease about what’s coming next on the HappyConsoleGamer channel. Hint: gaming excitement.
Thanks to everyone who showed up to lurk and/or participate in the live event, and a special thanks to our Patrons. You really do make this show happen each and every week.
