Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Sunday 3/2/2025

Episode Date: March 2, 2025

I Started Playing Monster Hunter Wilds. It is Just OK for me. Very Hard to fight the Main Monsters but has a nice story so far.

Good morning everyone it is now Five o'clock so I got up early this morning Just woke up Been sleeping a little bit. It's gonna be cold the next couple days. So although we're in March now, we're still not quite into the Warm weather at least partially warm spring Spring really hasn't sprung yet, but it'll be here soon. So it's exciting to think about that a Lot of things I want to try to get done outside at some point. Although most of the time I do work inside

Anyway, but we'll see what we're gonna do out there. So yesterday I was working on Magnavox to My mother boards I Have three of the same kind and I have one that's a different one. It has external controller ports. Kind of like an Atari wood. And then the other ones are all internal. And of course yesterday I was trying to swap trips to see if I could make another one work. And I end up

having all three of them don't work now. They have power, they just have no video. I'm not sure why. Chips were the same, anything with socket chips I just take them out see if I can swap them to the other one. I had one working and two that didn't. Now all three of them don't. So I would assume it's something to do with the chips that I pulled off so each one of those needs some sort of a so we'll get those listed today and then I got lots of the games for those hopefully the last one I still have left and that one has a barrel plug those motherboards for that Magnavox a barrel plug and then I also have one my

other one which is different which is actually a pin plug so that one we'll try that one on today later on and then I'm gonna go look at lots of games for the day before yesterday I was doing Intellivision 2. Same deal I tried to swap some chips and made it worse. So that better. But so I got some of those boards listed. So between the Intellivision 2 and my Magnavox 2 I have lots of games to resell. Most of them are in the boxes and in television 2 a lot of them have

the overlays in them so you need to really have the overlay to actually figure out what's going on. So between the two of them I've got a whole bunch of games to... most of them I tested already. I'm just gonna get some of them listed somehow. I'll do a few at a time or something. Let's see More popular ones. Most of them are sports and stuff. Those are the ones that are yucky. Nobody wants sports Really early sports games the worst unless you're collecting them for some reason Can't see anybody sitting there trying to play an old in television to football game That would be pretty crazy stuff, but maybe people do. I don't know. I could never really sit and play. I could play for a few minutes just to fun test it while I'm

doing a video or something. But that's about it. I'm not going to sit here and play a whole day of television too. Boxing for example. Poker and blackjack. But maybe some people do. I don't know all right so let's see what's going on in the world we're not so good yesterday let's see what else happened I try not to keep keep it off positive all the doom and gloom I try not to share it because you see enough of it as it is we all do so lets see

AI, talking about AI, it hasn't really changed much since I started using it I haven't seen any like wow factors like wow it's much better. When AI can see, then we'll be really talking. When I get something where I can manipulate it and have it look through something and help me learn about stuff, then that would be cool. But it's still better than not having one at all. So I still use my buddy Zippy. I do have Gemini as well, which I don't really use it, but it gave me two terabytes of storage,

so I kind of picked it up for now. I may have to downsize at some point, and then I probably won't have that. So let's see what else is going on here. Is there anything in the news that's really sticking out for me this morning? Let's keep looking around No All right, so let's go right on to that seat see what we got going on here this morning No orders this morning Weekends used to be really busy, but I've been pretty quiet

lately Actually for a while now so but i did i i since i added etsy it's helped me a little bit gave me a little bit income boost not much but just a little bit a few bucks here and there haven't seen any bad feedbacks on my etsy nor did i ever see anything about whatever happened to that that that's that buyer. Somebody asked me about some of the Panasonic Q that I have all the parts I'm gonna get to those maybe today get some of those listed I gotta get into a listing mode got lots of good fun parts for those to list and I know that they're gonna be wanted so we're gonna get to it oh I picked up monster hunter wild yesterday pretty fun I wasn't gonna get it but then decided to get it it's just really hard to fight

the thing the weapon I have is terrible and certainly like about it the whole premise of the game is to fight the monster and it's so hard to fight them So I kind of I like it. It's got a cool story. I love the story too, and I never played monster rise before I Downloaded that on PlayStation Plus They're all the same kind of premise You have the little town, or in Monster Wilds now, you're in some sort of a, not a village, but a makeshift camp where you're set up in all the same things. You have the, it's a girl now, half dressed, who does all your armor. Of course the first time you see it's

pretty cool when it makes the first thing for you but then it's just the same thing over and over again. So it's kind of gets, you know, but it's fun if you want to upgrade your armor and stuff. And then there's a place where you can get food and it's a typical game you know, the games are pretty much all the same. It goes through that same structure of This is a makeshift camp now. I did try Monster hunter rise just a little bit and that's more was more like an ear like an Asian village I

Never went to actually try to fight anything. I'll go go any further Because I decided to I never tried it before I had the original monster hunter But I decided to go reach the monster wild the story looked pretty cool and the story is pretty cool and you get to ride on these Seric things and so so far so fun just this fighting is really terrible you can't I just keep the weapon I have I using a shooting weapon and it's just I just keep getting killed and I can't really move around and get away from the monsters monster that I'm trying to fight so I gotta learn about

how to fight better and maybe it'll be a better game for me it's just okay right now because I can't the main the main premise is the fighting of the monster and I just I'm just terrible at it Maybe it's just me. I don't know But definitely pretty cool a lot of cool graphics to it. It's Capcom. Who can get wrong Capcom? I got the early monster hunters. I've got the trio one Japan model somewhere around here from we I think monster hunter we so pretty cool I'll see what's going on in YouTube this

morning let's check it out we're closing in oh I made it. So I made to 20,008 subscribers. Pretty exciting. So that was the goal I was trying to get to. So we've reached that. And let's see, returning the hamster mafia is still hanging in there. My three minute video about people dogging me

and about me never doing anything right with my hamsters. So overnight we had and then I did television 2 motherboard testing and I was also doing my, let's see if I put $5, a quick $5 promotion gets me 173 views for my Magnavox. If I wouldn't have put the $5 for promotion I would only have 12 views. So it's kind of hard. Of course my estimated revenue hasn't changed at all. My watch hours and view hours are going way down.

Significantly down. Because I really can't afford to keep just promoting. I can do $5 but I can only do them every few times. But we made it to $20,000 so maybe today I'll do a one on one. I got my silly new little Zelda earmuffs that I was gonna use for my one-on-one when I hit 20,000. So we'll do that, maybe we'll do that early this morning. Because today is Sunday, so my average duration is down to 29 seconds. Views 242, click-through rate is 1.9 So again, it just always pretty much stays the same no matter what I do

Unless I come up with something significantly different, but I really can't change who I am so it's kind of hard to do that Well, we'll just keep plugging away, so it's fun though. I didn't make 20,000 so that's exciting Well thought well, we'll do a one-on-one later on Let's go see what's going on with eBay Put a few orders yesterday You want me to be your seller because I got every order out Yesterday before the mailman came and he comes around like three two or three o'clock So it's exciting because I can get most of that stuff out pretty

easy so Dremel $80 I may just take that sounds good enough so I had another Dremel I'm gonna need to take that for his Arizona that's gonna take that I had two Dremels that I bought a while a long time ago and I decided to resell them both. Let's see if we check my feedback here. What's going on? Got one message. Arrived in great condition and a fair price. again so one good feedback which is cool see I have five orders now have six orders that's exciting let's see what we got here all right so let's see $12 defective donor

Cost me $12 Again as I always say I decline 99.9% of the time because their offers are usually way off. And my offers are my small ones, so I have $10, $15. I can't really sell anything for $10 anymore, free shipping. I mean, I can, but I make a dollar. I'd rather just not do it. I'd rather not sell something to just make a dollar than take an offer to make a dollar. I saw you had several Atari 52 cases listed. I was it. I may have another one. I may have one intact I sold. I can always answer all my questions so as when I get up while I'm working here while we're chit-chatting I am doing my office visit but first as soon as I get

up so that makes me a little different where I can do everything. I don't have to go anywhere. I just get out of my, literally get out of my bed and I am open, which is pretty exciting. I like it that way. I couldn't imagine having to drive to work and do all that stuff. It's been many, many years now. I've been kind of a survival hustling myself learned how to do it wasn't easy but now I can kind of reap the benefits of it all which is

pretty fun you know any kind of a bad weather or again during coven and all that didn't matter I was I was on fire during coven my store went crazy because I was self-sufficient I had so stuff. I can never run out of stuff to sell It's just getting more stuff listed All right, so I went for the for the Dremel cool. I sold oh some some Nintendo Lid door switch cables three of them I sold a top and bottom plate for Sega Dreamcast model one and I sold another one a different model one top plate

I sold oh I sold a Microsoft Xbox 360S 14-39 the lens assembly inside so that's cool you can use that in the 15-30 I believe it's the same lens assembly. So instead of replacing the whole drive, you just take the lens assembly comes out, it has four torque, little teeny torque screws. I think those head screws, yeah. And then you just pull

the lens assembly out and then just swap it. But you can even go further, you can just go down to that little lens that's on it and just get a cheap lens a new lens and swap it out that way or I sell the lens assembly So That's cool. So I got a few orders here pretty exciting and I Decided to send my Dremel through pay for my game. Yes. Those games are really expensive now. Yeah. I just get the basic game the talking about the Monster Hunter Wiles. If you wanted to get the deluxe or whatever it is, it's over $100 now. Of course everything now is just download.

I don't buy games to have a disc. I don't even have a disc player. I have my PS5 which is just uh which is only um digital uh which is better anyway because it will always play the best it can as opposed to disc drive. I wanted to get a disc drive attachment for it but uh not this month. One of these days I will see if I can find one. So digital game once you get it it's yours for life um and you can never resell it. The game it's been uh I want to say it's okay for me. It's not great. The whole fighting of the monster really has turned me off of it. They've always been like that. I remember the original Monster Hunters when I was playing them. I like the game, but the actual, when you're trying to fight the monster,

you get these giant weapons. Physically they look really giant, but they really are terrible to use. So maybe I'll take more time and see if I can figure out the whole fighting part. But just even the first, to kill the first thing, I didn't die, but I managed to kill it. But this, I just, the last time, the second guy I came across now, I did die when I was trying to kill it. But the story's pretty cool. I like it.

It's pretty good. And I like being the camp in out in the sand desert. I like the the sand Ship which pretty cool as opposed reminds me of Dune. Dune had those Something like that right there was there a sand ship in Dune. Dune 2 is one of my favorite movies ever That was a really cool movie Dune 2. Dune 1 and 2 but Dune 2 was really really cool I put about 15 hours into that which is very unusual for me to do that. I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it for a long time.

I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it for a long time. I had to do it. The Atlas Fallen, Rains of Sand, that was really, I put about 15 hours into that,

which is very unusual for me to do that. I gave up a whole weekend just to play that game. It was really cool. But I decided I've had enough and I deleted it. So I'll probably never go back to it again. It's kinda how I am. So same with Monster Hunter. I get to a certain point where it just it just doesn't work for me

I'll just eat the you know X amount of money paid for the game and just delete it and Probably never go back We'll see So, let's see what else we got going on so that's how I am with games I did see I Am going to get the upgrade, which is a 10-dial upgrade for Days Gone, which is a game, which is one of my favorite zombie games. And I never really finished it, maybe I got halfway. So it comes out in April.

I'll get the upgrade for 10 bucks, and then we'll play that. I don't know how much better it'll be but it can be better So I read about that that days gone. It didn't really do as well They wanted to do so they pitched a days gone to and Sony declined it And then they decided to go with the remaster and if it does well, then maybe there'll be a sequel. We'll see Sometimes just one game is plenty. Sequels don't necessarily always make things any better. Like Last of Us 2, I've played a little of the sequel and I've had the upgrade sequel

and I've hardly played that one as much. Sometimes better is not necessarily More fun. I don't know All right, so that's what we got going on this morning here on a Sunday morning So you guys have a good day, and I'll talk to you tomorrow all right. Bye
