So I've rebranded my channel for the ten millionth time, but I'm going to be making laid back review videos in the vain of No Swear Gamer or LGR.
 
Here's the first video
 

yo, more High Schoolers on this site is always great to see!

Hey,
I'm _aterw but if that's too silly you can just call me Andrew. I'm a kid out of Union City, Pennsylvania - a Junior in High School anyways - and I've been doing a whole lot of stuff for my life.
 
To start off, well, I'll start with the whole Atari bit. I got introduced to what Atari even was from one of my best friends (I think he goes by BurritoBeans online?) a couple years back when I had went over to his place and he had a 2600 with some games and controllers that he said he ordered off of eBay or something. After an afternoon of Pitfall, Warlords, Combat, and Tennis I ended up really liking the things and bought a 4-switch of my own probably a week after from a local game shop and have just been buying cartridges as I can find them. (Erie seems dead for Atari stuff, I can't find any anywhere!) I don't own any Atari apart from that 2600, but hey, it's a fun system so I can't complain. With Beans, I ended up also getting into a lot of other game stuff and collect some old computers and systems that I've been able to find at his workplace and other game shops in the general area.
 
For things I enjoy, I really like to do a couple main things - games, collecting albums, playing guitar, and movies. For games other than the Atari and all that, I remember my first system was a Nintendo Gamecube when they were new and it was so cool to me for about two weeks then I got bored and went back to playing outside while my brothers were all over it - I don't think I really played much until we got out Xbox 360 MW2 Elite, and even then I only played for a couple years before I got bored.
 
With the music stuff, records have always been a thing in my life as my dad kept all his stuff from high school/college so we have his old record player and albums. I always thought they were cool so I started buying records myself, and I have good memories of sitting around listening to bands like Genesis, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Toto, Dire Straits, Men At Work, and The B52s playing on the record player. This stuff was also why I got into playing music - I play Contralto Clarinet, Paperclip Contrabass Clarinet, and Bassoon for the school band while also playing drums both on my own time and for a little band which friends and I put together a few years back. I love to play, but we don't play many shows so apart from a couple a year it's just the concert band stuff for school and orchestra for the school musical if they have a part for any of my instruments.
 
Finally with moves, well I've been watching the things forever - again with dads old stuff we had the DVD player and Laserdisc player which got used a lot on weekends, and I've been buying the things since I was about 12. I haven't got that big of a collection of movies anymore as I sold off a lot of what I had when I was getting my car but  I kept what I like and some odds and ends which I received from people and I still enjoy them to this day.
 
I do work which is the reason why I don't game all too much. For the past almost three years of my life I've been a farmhand working out in fields doing whatever I'm needed for in the summer and helping with animals in the winter. Compared to my friends I'm not doing too great job-wise as it's not the best pay in the world, but I get a free meal and some cash in hand at the end of the day so I'm not complaining.
 
So that's about it for me. I don't know a ton for games, but as I'm getting a bit more into them I'm hoping maybe I'll learn some stuff on here and be able to maybe contribute here and there.
Thanks for reading.

Yes. It works really well. Ive been playing with it for a few days now

Yeah, I love playing this game on emulators.

My friend's dad gave me his old Apple IIc. It has the monitor and lots of software.

GET OREGON TRAIL!!!

Yes! You must.

SWEET!!!!
 
I'm envious.

Apple ][c was a neat machine.   Takes me back to my school years.  (I think we eventually had ][e's, and then the GS)

Hopefully you've got a copy of Wizardry in all the software.   Castle Wolfenstein games were fun too.

Hey, I thought you all would enjoy the genre known as Vaporwave. It's basically a genre dedicated to making you feel like you are listening to it on a cassette, either in the 80s or 90s or in the distant future. It uses heavy sampling of 80s funk, pop music, and elevator music slowed down and edited. It's generally mixed with 80s and 90s-esque visuals. Some use heavier sampling than others, but it all stays pretty much the same that it uses sampling (except for a few cases). It's essentially the "underground punk" equivalent of electronic music. Thought it's much more peaceful.
 
It has multiple sub-genres like Future Funk and Mallsoft. I think it's something you guys would really enjoy listening too. 
 
Here's some links to some albums to show you what I mean.

This is what the Retro VGS should have been. We know who the team is. We can trust it I'm guessing.

The 2600 is alive and well because it is really cheap to buy for. lol

As a guy who does filmmaking on this forum, I'm going to put my 2 cents in on this conversation. 
 
DaVinci Resolve is built for color grading footage, so it's not that great for actually editing the footage. It's more for filmmakers than YouTube vloggers. 
 
You can get HitFilm 4 Express for free and it has almost as much functionality as Adobe products, but it's pretty resource intensive and you might have to take an afternoon to figure out how to use it (it's pretty user friendly, there's just so much you can do with it) https://hitfilm.com/express/
 
They made this with the free version (of course all of the VFX and 3D models were all made in other programs, but putting it all into the shot and doing clean up and everything was done in HitFilm):
