Mallory's Birthday Gift (Day 3411 - 3/28/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3410) | Next Vlog (Day 3412)

The vlog starts out with Stephen showing a rock that his dad painted of "Potato Boy" which was inspired by watching the March 26th Breakfast Stream. Stephen says that his dad paints rocks and canvases and likes to watch Breakfast Stream. He mentions that in the March 28th Breakfast Stream people were gifting subs to anyone with the word "potato" in their name regardless of whether that person was watching the stream or not.

Stephen said he went to his parent's house to pick up the package that has Mallory's birthday gift in it which arrived earlier than he thought it would. He said that he thought he would have to give it to her after the Japan trip, but now he can give it to her today. Stephen mentions that Mal already knows that she is getting a gift, but she doesn't know exactly what it is. He said that he pre-ordered it 6 months ago since he saw that the company would be releasing it around the time of Mal's birthday. He gives the gift to Mal and says that it's something she grew up having. It is a Genesis Console made by a company named Analogue that makes HDMI versions of consoles that are pretty high quality. Mal then takes out a spacer for the Sega CD out of the box and tells Stephen to smell it. He quickly realizes it's rubber and takes it away from Mal since she's very allergic to Latex. Stephen mentions that Analogue has also started making an NES console.

Mal then plays Dr.Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on her new Genesis console. Stephen says that the younger generation grew up emulating these games because it was passed their time and they used scalars to fix the pixelated graphics. He says that he prefers pixelated graphics like in Earthbound. Stephen says that he eventually wants to get more Genesis games since most of them come in their boxes, but right now they are focusing on finishing the Wii collection.
