A lot of people curious about my GTI: It's a 2022 Mk8 Autobahn Launch Edition where VW only made 700 of them in that color (Pomelo) and configuration, comes w/ a numbered plaque and letter from the President of VW of America. It's also a manual transmission, which as you know is getting phased out worldwide in many cars. During the pandemic I traded my previous 2013 GTI Autobahn with only 50K miles on it because dealers were offering so much $$$. This new 2022 Mk8 model is nice cuz it's got adaptive chassis control and sport suspension, electronic slip differential, larger infotainment display, lane assist, etc... etc... Definitely a nice upgrade from the 2013 model!

Thank you for capturing a picture of a dragon layer machine with the monitor on top because I remember seeing a machine just like that in a Chuck E cheese. I was with with my father as a kid and every dragon slayer I've seen since is only is the arcade machine no monitor on top of it. So I for a long time thought I'd just imagine the monotor on top and thought it was never a thing. I just had remembered it wrong. But your video of the footage proved it for me. I can't believe I can still remember that because it's from so long ago like. I'm 43 now and that's like from when I was like 7 or 8 or 9. Oh well always a video game junkie I guess To expand on that memory even more I remember when I saw that game At chuck e cheese with the monitor and my jaw literally hit the floor because of how beautiful the animated graphics were and still to this day when I played a really cartoony game on any newer system. I just remember me as a little boy seeing that dragons layer unit for the first and thinking how far we had come. To get from the kind of lackluster interactivity of dragons layer to a fully interactive video game with cartoon graphics that would rival any disney movie just still makes my jaw drop that it happen in such a short time.

Long comment on the video, some feedback, and random stuff: Really good job with the camera work on this. Crater Lake looked fantastic and the wide shots also did well to show off the game stores. Also liked some of the flavor shots like the wheels outside the car rolling and a few extra touches spiced it up. I always think of Forza when I see you driving in your videos and I'm just like "dang, real life has realistic graphics." lol. One thing I enjoyed in this video as well was the somewhat slower shots glancing over the games on the shelves. I had asked for that in previous video comments and I think you struck a good balance in this video. I like to read and catch a few titles on the shelf just to get a sense of what the store has. That little shop had some great titles for its small collection. I would love to do more traveling but alas it's not in the cards at this stage of my life. I really like these travel videos like I said before. They are my next favorite after pickups with Reggie. I also like the compilation videos you are putting out from the PC Marathon to the Generation collection and all those videos wrapped into one big one. Hopefully they will pull more views over time and more people will find them. It's pretty cool to see what you have accomplished on KZitem with hard work, dedication, coming up with ideas, and bringing the MJR crew together. The MJR Crew is very special and the fact you guys get together and so many of you guys stay in touch and do videos and play games still is amazing. Never take that for granted! I have moved so many times in my life from a kid into my 30s now. The last several years had me move several times from the lockdown situation to starting a new job and moving to 3 states back to back. So essentially it's been difficult to make a consistent group of friends I can hang out with in real life but now I'm back near my home town and slowly building a group of friends to play games with again. I went to my first expo this year in Milwaukee at the Midwest Gaming Classic a few months ago. Your videos inspired me and I had an absolute blast at it. There was so much to see and do. I had always wanted to go to e3 or a video game expo since I was a kid but just never did for whatever reason. With the last few years seeing e3 shut down along with the disappearance of physical media I really want to go to as many expos as I can to support the scene and have a good excuse to spend a weekend playing games with my friends. Anyways thanks again Jason!
