Thriftdweller

It's true! I am thinking of killing off Monday Nitro Pickups as I stated in our latest pick up video. The main reason was that I was trying to figure out what I could do that would re-energize my motivation to make content and it felt like I had to let go of this because it became to comfortable. Now our exact plans for next season may not be complete yet, but you'll have to check us out next season to see what we've come up with. Thanks for everyone who supported us on YouTube through the years! Happy Holiday Season! -n8

As another year passes and we move on to season 6 next year, we realize how much life seems to be pulling us away form YouTube. I think we have grown as people and brothers in Thriftdweller, but you wouldn't know it from our videos.  There is a saying that goes, when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at begin to change . Perhaps that's what season 5 has provided us? Rather than seeing life as pulling us away from our beloved "thrftdweller", maybe we need to think what held us there in the first place? The landscape has really changed, and when one looks at what this year has brought, you could think our motivation has really wavered. There is a lot that runs through our minds of what to do next year, and to be honest, I'm excited to see what we come up with after our annual winter break. Hope to see you there! -n8

We take the Karcamo KarcaClone challenge! This was so much fun, I just wanted to post this here and say it was fun! It's also funny, wearing the face paint, I felt this feeling of freedom. A disguise almost released any apprehension and, like a "real actor", they're raw, they bare it all in from of the lens. I want to explore this more. Acting classes? Maybe.... until then, check the video! Thanks! -n8

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step." -Lao Tzu Remember when you set out to collect all those retro games? What was your goal? Some of us just wanted those personal favourites, some of us were more ambitious, but this guy may take the 8-bit cake! Fellow YouTube Retro Game Blogger "The Last Gamer" recently posted on his Facebook page  this picture where he has completed a collection of the original Nintendo Entertainment System video game library, both licenced and unlicensed. If you look at the picture, it looks like at least every game is boxed if not complete with manuals...

You have 5 seconds.... create something that didn't exist before! GO! Did you come up with something? Being creative isn't easy. it may sound easy, but that's because your idea probably isn't truly original. If you think about, everything in existence was put there by one man (or whatever God figure you believe in), so maybe everything we think we create is really derived from the original creator of all things (Putting to question, how can anything we create be original?).  Regardless, a god of retro video game video creation,  The Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) has been making original content for over 10 years, putting his own flare into classic video games via his persona of The Angry Video Game Nerd . In an era where every channel has a "rare games" or "hidden gems" list, AVGN approached making video content about classic gaming from his own unique perspective and style, creating something truly his own. This video shows how much actu...
