Every video starts with Michael on a ladder.

100 percent true, fluorescent light fixtures and bulbs are becoming harder to find they are not being made it’s more whatever is left in the market. But let me know if you ever come to Canada I can give you some LED light fixtures for you shop. What you should do is buy some T8 leds that are not ballast dependent. So bypass the ballast and remove it.
-
Im a commercial electrician in Dallas-Fort Worth area and yes... flourescent bulbs are getting harder to find even at electrical supply houses. LED fixtures are better in my opinion. Most of the time they'll last years but when they do go bad, you change out the LED driver just like a ballast and good to go for a few more years. No more need for bulbs!

LEDs would honestly make the shop look brighter/bigger
-
The Neo Geo stuff at the end though 😎

Hey Rick I was the guy that bought the Mystery Box with the Jungle Green N64 only been a couple hours since we picked up from the store and already pretty far in DK 64
-
my biggest gaming pet peeve was when going to my friends house to play games. and every single game is in the wrong case. lazy bastard blows my mind
-
Glad to be a customer! I haven’t been in the store for a while due to me wanting to order some merch off fan gamer but I’ll be there some time next week. Glad you guys made an update vid!
-
Gotta do what you love, and you guys live it! It is awesome to see the passion come through!
-
0:45 that’s true. It’s super easy to convert those fixture to LED tubes for about the price of those ballasts.
-
RICK! You can use a hair dryer or a heat gun on low to slowly peel that label off. it should hopefully come off pretty clean. Good luck my man!
-
I hear FInal Fantasy music and it sparks so much joy!
-
Final Fantasy prelude. My family knows that when I die that is the song to be played when you walk into the funeral home for my viewing. FF is my favorite game franchise of all time.
-
The only certainties in life are death, taxes, and Michael being on a ladder
-
"Kohls is painful" lmao. I feel ur pain brother.
-
one of my gaming pet peeves is when i buy a game online and the case comes to me broken or has those GameStop stickers on the case that weren't shown in photos. cause i enjoy having game cases in mint condition. also the sticker on the wii U box drove me nuts man!!!!!
-
Lol I was there when that light went out! 😂 It poped and smoked!
-
On a federal level CFL will be phased out by the end of this year. Linear fluorescent bulbs (The ones you have in your ceiling fixtures) are only being banned in a handful of states as of next year and Arkansas is not one of those states. Since you are a retro shop I suggest you bypass the ballast and use led bulb replacements to keep the retro ambience. (NGL I personally love fluorescent lights so I always advocate for them lol)
-
My biggest pet peeve for gaming is when someone switches a game disk and stacks them on top of other disks instead of putting it back in its case. I absolutely hate that.
-
Similar to the sticker situation, I got a mint CIB copy of Pokemon Crystal for $2 from a garage sale (this is way back, like 15 years ago) - and they just wrote a big "$2" on the front of the box in sharpie. I was able to get it off with dry erase markers though and I still have the game in my collection to this day.
