upgrade to a pipe that guy's got a karate kid' stance though okay what can I say it's a it's a boutique item if you brought this thing to a party that's kind of a hit with these old school games you don't really have to know too much to get into them it's not like the prerequisite is is incredible game or skill anyone can pick this up and start throwing some punches you order pizza you have a couple snacks you play some old-school games you chat a little bit the thing is it's $2,700 so you're kind of almost afraid to bring it out of the house it's a boutique item you know what I mean it's a limited-edition Willie do let's get you in here let's hear your opinion on this you're the reason that this product is here to begin with yeah I'm a really big fan of artisanal artisanal that's a word I did not use yet I used a boutique bespoke yep a lot of prime materials that pretty expensive this is not coming from a giant factory where they're gonna make a million of these there's 50 and a guy made them all by hand and you could tell the passion that goes into it so I respect a lot of that give us a rundown young Willie do young Willie do Mississauga Ontario yeah I would rock the game boy game boy yeah okay which title Tetris for sure you just copy beam in Pokemon Pokemon was that when it was the different colors like you had to get the yellow cartridge or no even back in the day it was red and blue red and blue okay those are the straight-up legit first Pokemon games all right but those games were super hard you know a side-scrolling games yes oh no it's true and we talked about this on the retro gaming hardware in the past we talked about how these old games it's not like you have save points no if you beat the game that was meaningful because most of your friends didn't beat it obviously today gaming exists in a whole different universe in which you never beat it like nothing is neat about you just play video end game no you just play forever yeah you get is keep grinding addicted to the mechanics yeah it's such a different mindset than the type of games that we were exposed to as a youngster exactly now I'm not trying to say that this is a solution to all of today's gaming problems not for everybody but it's a nice I get some museum piece like if you had this thing on a coffee table in a way it's almost as nice to look at as it is to use yeah the fact that you can interact with it you know and play some old-school games nothing wrong with that it's interactive art yeah and you can smell it I guess so yes can you well just well I suppose that's nice smelling as well how dare you you know it is
