Day THREE of The Texas Load 2! Hope you enjoy this review of the items I picked up from Retro Rick's Game Point in Conway, AR.

Make sure to tune in TOMORROW 7/5 at 3:30pm EST for the FULL unloading of the 800lb pallet of video games consoles I bought in Austin, TX. It's a good one šŸ‘€

All of the "testing" videos where I test and explore each console in the lot will be on Wednesdays and Fridays throughout July. Hope you guys enjoy!

    Anyone else been to Retro Rickā€™s Game Point before? Let me know what you think!
  • Dude!! So honored you came in, wish I would have got to meet and chat with you, cheers!

    Iā€™m surprised no one at the store recognized you.

    A hybrid drive or SSHD was a hard drive with flash memory inside . You could get them in larger sizes and they were reasonably priced compared to the same sized SSDs . Performance was faster than a standard HDD , but not as fast as an SSD .
  • I live in Conway, and I used to go to there when they were just Game Point, and if you're looking for new stuff it's not the store for you, but if you're looking for retro stuff, this stuff is for you

    Honestly in 2024 any store selling cartridge games should throw in a free handful of q-tips and a condiment cup of IPA because the game/system could go from working to non working in the time it takes you to get home.

    Glad you went to Retro Rick's, was hoping for a cameo by Rick in the video for you two to collab. Hope it happens some day!
  • Usually, these places make it a little bit high to help with the bills they have to deal with, like the workforce they need. It's usually pretty understandable, in my opinion. I'm not gonna lie. That place looks cool, and the stuff looks good.
  • @DarthCrust66
    been loving these videos keep up the great work
  • @gummybums
    I've been waiting for this. Great video jacob

    Might be worth picking up a small monitor with built in audio or just a normal monitor to do on the road testing if these hotel TV's are soo bad.

    Really interesting to see this video and your perspective of the store, Iā€™m actually thinking of flying out from the UK to go there so it was good to hear what you thought. I had a Dreamcast back in the late 90ā€™s and I do remember the controllers being firmer at first and then loosening after some use, so from that I would say that controller you got had very little use if any. I also have an Xbox one elite (with the controller) and I thought you got it for a good price šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘
  • I purchased the Dreamcast on day one with three controllers and I remember the sticks were stiff when new. You got a really good controller there. Probably someoneā€™s spare they rarely if ever used.
