You acting as Luigi with a poltergust
Was S22e a reference?

Which Yoshi game was playing at about 6:48?

@theJaw Thanks buddy, I think I'm starting to feel more natural in-front of the camera and behind the mic as well. Also noticed you commented on the video, thank you for that. YouTube analytics love comments almost as much as I do

@MrBean I would absolutely be down to play some Back 4 Blood with you! I've been playing it on/off since launch. I jump back in when the expansions drop.

I liked candy corn as a kid, until the waxy texture and dull flavor made me wake up

I'm sad I got rid of my CIB Friday The 13th NES a couple of years ago... something cool I just need to get over I will probably never end up owning again.

Also, yes we are definitely overdue!

@loztdogs I really appreciate that! I'm hoping as I keep improving in my content, the channel grows.

@nonamesleft That poltergust was the most ghetto prop I think I've ever put together, but the end result was almost exactly as invisioned it. The actual skit was planned to be longer and higher production, but time constraints and budget forced me to hang a Pac-Man ghost

That S22e part was a little jab at Samsung. I've been using their phones for over 10 years and love them, but sometimes they release poop. I had one economy phone that had a terrible battery, and another that flat-out died. S22 is their current phone, so to go along with the battery dying, I called it the Poltergust S22e. It was a last minute idea, but since it was a Samsung vacuum I couldn't resist!

That gameplay was also taken from Super Mario Galaxy 2

Stumbled on this, reminded me of Frank with his GTA skit.

Maybe one day I'll have the production budget and editing staff for those effects

Review video coming Friday

Looking forward.

Atari 50 aims to commemorate 50 years of the Atari brand, but how well does it hold up? Check out the latest GameFrank review to find out!

Good job Frank. Fun video!

@Frank that may be your most professional video to date. That was incredibly well done and honestly makes me want to play it.

Very very well done. Except for "Jagwire", you're a "mARio" kinda guy aren't you? Haha

Also, the Atari paddle was 330 degree, not 360? Never used one before.

lol came here to say this. FRANK I almost unsubscribed from your ass for your indefensible pronunciation of Jaguar.

But I didn't, cause I ya too much and the video was wonderful as usual.

When I get a spare $40, I'm snagging this. I need a new compilation of pick-up-and-play games and the documentary aspect is very neat.

@loztdogs thanks buddy!

@MrBean haha my friends from the UK are going to give me SO much crap for my pronunciation of Jaguar Ja-Gwrr just sounds weird to me... and NO It's Ma-ree-oh, although I bet sometimes it sounds like MAHH-Reoh Yeah that Atari Paddle doesn't come all the way around, it has a stopping point on both sides. I honestly didn't realize it either until I was researching for the video.

@theJaw In my defense, I'm a millennial, and most don't even know what Atari is. That said I do feel shame whenever I mispronounce anything on video... except Pokemon. I'll intentionally do that to stir up the fans I definitely do recommend it. I'm considering buying a physical steelbook edition myself, just for collection purposes. This is honestly the most well-done compilation to date.

"Mah-rio" for sure the high A "m-Aaaar-io" always drove me crazy but unsure if there was ever an official way to say it.

Jagwire is definitely wrong, I think? JagWar is what I've always known (once owned a Jag car in my early 20s that I barely fit in!). At least go with "Yagwar", you'd make your Brit friends happy being all Austin Powers like.

Regardless man, video was great. We gotta get you more visibility!

Lol @Frank also a millennial here so there is NO EXCUSE. But also I’m just joking haha, I enjoy the mispronunciation. Pls make that a running gag anytime you need to talk about the ol’ Jagwire.

I actually still have mine in storage. I should prob drag that thing out sometime soon.

Millennial as well, but supposedly a Xenial (78-83 or something? I'm '82).

No excuses Frank!

$30 is well worth it! I'm personally waiting for the Switch Steelbook to drop that low

The reception on my latest video has been pretty great! With that said, it's got me contemplating certain aspects of my channel.

I'm considering putting Frank's Five on Hiatus. I know the YouTube algorithm praises longer videos, yet my 6-and-a-half-minute video has performed better than any so far.

Granted I had the benefit of being the first video review uploaded, but I'm just wondering if my Frank's Five concept has run its course?

I've got some ideas for the next video, but I'm conflicted on if I should continue with the series I started in January, or just make your typical YouTubey videos.

Hey @Frank! Thanks for showcasing Kena: Bridge of Spirits in one of your top 5. I finished it last night on the Steam Deck and enjoyed it overall. The art style and gameplay felt like what God of War might be like if we're made by Pixar (minus the QTEs). While some of the battles felt very repetitive, overall it was a fun playthrough.

I felt like I missed some component of the combat as there were some kill X number of enemy challenges that seemed impossible to complete within the amount of time given. Maybe I had to have a specific charm that I had not yet found to give me the appropriate boost? Who knows.

I hope they make a sequel. I feel like there is a lot more to Kena's character than what this first entry gives us. There's also a ton of possibilities with the whole spirit world concept.

2 month long delay, but the latest video is uploaded and pending to go live tomorrow at 10AM :D

There's a Carl Wheezer reference somewhere in the video, as well as this little guy (out of context probably makes zero sense)

Thank you to my GTZ fam who have subscribed and given me support on my YouTube endeavors. I appreciate all of you way more than my posts can describe!

Cant wait to see it!

Very fun @Frank . Love your wit. Lots of funny clever jokes in that episode. I liked how you had a copy of balan wonderworld in the trash!

That potato matching game looked kind of fun.

Totally forgot to post last Friday's upload!

Hope you guys enjoy

Great! I've been looking forward to a new video.

As always @Frank, fantastic work! I was really waiting for some kind of joke/payoff about the kidnapper/kidnappee reuinion (woulda been a great clip from Kimmy Schmidt!).

Your knowledge on the matter is incredibly impressive, how much of this was known vs. researched?

Love the predictions, they all feel pretty realistic. Would love to see Diddy and adding flight!

Also, odd that I am subscribed, with notification ... but never got notified on this new video.

MrBean wrote:

Hey thank you buddy, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was planning a skit for that kidnapper section, as well as for the Diddy Kong bit, but time constraints and lack of a solid idea ended up causing me to scrap those ideas. I also ended up cutting out random facts...

Most of the info in this video was off hand knowledge, that's why I may get an occasional thing wrong. (apparently I mixed up DKJR as being the modern day DK). If it's a topic I don't have much knowledge on, I won't cover it. I try to focus my content on things I am actually knowledgeable on, and have a history with. There's plenty of other YouTubers who just relay Google searches

As for the notification thing... Maybe try turning notifications off, then back on? Might help to do it from a mobile phone vs PC, or vice verse.

Podcast appearance. Helping fill in for someone who's out on recovery.

Quickie video. No script, just wung it! Took me like 3 hours to edit into something presentable

https://youtu.be/WNvvPlW0lZA

Damnit Frank... Didn't know that existed! Sold out =/ Thanks for making me want to go pay ebay prices! Think it's worth it?

MrBean wrote:

It was only $8 more than "Power Up Edition" 4K, which is what they're just calling all of the standard releases. I am a bit miffed that they didn't include a regular case, meaning this will forever be detached from my actual movies.

It was worth the $8 upcharge, but an extra $20? No, not at all.

Is that a frisbee?

@Frank great job on all the shorts! They are really well done. Are you moving more to this format? Are you posting on TikTok?

MrBean wrote:

Hey thanks man! The shorts are actually just made from my full videos. They are to kinda keep the channel active in between uploads.

I am not on TikTok, but maybe it would be a good idea to post them there to advertise.

Ha, crap. I thought a couple of them felt familiar! I'm old with a crapty memory...

Definitely throw them on TikTok, can't hurt to drive more subs and views back to YT.
