Some forgotten games featured. Hard to believe 360 is becoming retro.

I don't agree with the classification of 360 as "retro," because I can think of multiple 360-era games in the top 50 charts today. The implication being that if the 360 is retro, so are its games.

And I can't imagine going up to someone playing GTAV or CSGO and saying "bro this game is retro."

That's a good point. To be clear I was commenting on people saying that in general. I don't think Pan actually called it that.

Aye, my boy Pan Pizza getting a shout out on Lemmy, let's go. I love his videos so much.

thanks for the share, this vid is awesome. love the bumpers between games too.

been watching a lot of old g4tv reruns with commercial breaks on youtube lately, kinda reminds me of that (minus some of the 00s grossness. glad weirdness towards women and homophobia isnt in anymore)

He definitely got some inspiration from those days. I adore the bumpers. He recently made a good video on some of the weirder gaming shows from that era too.
