I've watched a few videos on this channel and really like it: https://www.youtube.com/user/mcfrosticles

I played on the Atari 2600 in the early 1980s up to the Nintendo years in the mid-90s, so this channel has some pretty nostalgic stuff for me.

Here's one that I found fascinating: The Story of Punch-Out

If you like this, I highly recommend a show on Netflix called Hi-Score Girl.

I loved it. Blended childhood love for gaming and puppy love perfectly

That was freakin interesting! Punchout kiosks would be considered racist to snowflakes today. I guess you could say Nintendo was non PC...pun intended.

I cancelled my membership when they were pushing pedo shows.  I'll never subscribe to them again.

I thankfully haven't seen any of that on there. What shows were they?

I think your referring to Big Mouth? I never watched it because I hate Nick Kroll.

The whole thing would have been banned.

I thought it was really interesting, from a capitalism/business perspective, how Japan handled the problem of those unused video monitors.  That was just brilliant.

No doubt. I hate Nick Kroll, I think he is a drooling idiot. Some of my friends like the show, but it never appealed to me.
