My Nostalgia, Part 1 - A Gamer's Retrospective

My now-older self has a lot of nostalgia contained in the silicon chips and plastic discs that make up my video game collection. In Part 1 of My Nostalgia, I take a look at how I got to be the gamer I am today, and figure out (with a couple of surprises) why some games are laden with deep-down-feel-good feelings and others are not.

Er, Ser...you need to "un-privatize" your video. I'd like to watch it.

The last line of the video is very intriguing... Great video, Ed, looking forward to the next.

Excellent video, Ed. Great commentary and I enjoyed the music and game clips. Did you ever play Ys Book I & II?

[b]@Derek:[/b] I have a feeling it will take far less time than part 1, so you're in luck! [b]@Alex:[/b] This one took longer than anticipated, mostly because of the volume of games I had to play and the technical difficulties encountered. *Shudder* Technical freaking difficulties..... [b]@Bryan G:[/b] Many thanks for the kind words. That last part somehow overtook my wife with emotion.... @Brian S: Thanks, man. The music was one of my favorite things to do for this vid. I have indeed played Ys book I & II on the Turbo CD, followed directly with Ys III... However, it was played only long after the "Nostalgic Divide"....

Wow Ed, that was great! Watching your nostalgia made me feel the same way. This next year, I'll be diving back into all those games I used to praise and hold in the highest regard to see if they hold up as well as I remember. I already wrote about my time with Super Mario Bros., and am currently knee deep in Secret of Mana. Your narration was awesome because it was sincere and touching. I can't wait for part 2!
