Wow, I used to go to Video Games NY all the time back in the 90's before I moved out of NYC. Awesome that they are still going strong, and got some GB coverage. Love the fact Vinny wants to get Dan from there on to repair shit lol

Also, I miss NY so very much :(

Oh my God that place looks amazing. That seriously rivals most of the used game shops I went to in Japan.

What a great video this was. If @vinny or @alex read this; why did you guys decide to have Alex hold the camera, and have Vinny do the interview?

Because Vinny is perfectly capable of conducting an interview.

Anyway, it would definitely be cool to see more hobbyist type stuff

I want to take a bunch of money out of my index fund, hop on plane, and head to that mother grabbing store.

No Caption Provided

Seeing Video Games NY punched me right in the nostalgia. All the independent game stores around where I'm at disappeared in the late nineties. Amazon is convenient and all, but it can never match walking into a musty little shop to spend $80 bucks on FF VI (III) and end up playing Jumping Flash with the dude behind the counter for an hour.

Great first video out of Giant Bomb Metropolis. The old school Whiskey vibe is strong in this one.

I like to think that these videos are just Vinny's version of an expense report.

I don't think Dan will ever fully appreciate what letting Vinny and Alex film him there is gonna do to that store or him... if they get him to become a regular on the site. I'm excited to see what happens. He'd be super interesting to have on the giant beastcast.

It'd be interesting if they did some sort of feature exposing the TV Guide girl to video game stuff just to get the pulse on this stuff from normal people. This is a great start to GB East I'm excited for the future.

It's not a Build a Bomb episode until you have to fumigate your working quarters and potentially poison yourself in the process.

Exactly. I went back and watched all the How to Build a Bomb videos after seeing this. One hell of a montage they have from that series to this video.

Oh man, I hope they go to B&H at some point. That overhead conveyor belt system of delivering high quality production equipment is a trip. For a hot minute there was a similar store on St. Marks (only two blocks away) that also sold older systems/games, but it looks like it dried up and blew away.

This is all looking better than I had expected, and it'll be nice to see Alex assimilated into a proper quicklooker and general on-camera dude again.

Yeah he just got a ton of exposure and for free. I'd like to check the place out myself, if I'm ever in the area.

Can't wait to see more of this. I like the Vinny/Alex duo and it's good to just see Vinny again and I'm happy we'll get more Alex out of this.
