    Maybe the real wacky world was the Dreams we cast in our mind

    I like how he pretty much gave up on the ratings towards the end.
  • @NamelessGamer29
    If there’s one thing I’ve taken away from all these videos is that if you want a cool console variation of a non Microsoft console you have to live in Japan.

    Judging by the name and colors, the RX-78 Dreamcast has to be based off the RX-78-2 Gundam aka the original iconic Gundam.
  • @ThaYowza
    The fact that Sega started making Dreamcasts as a promo item for companies that really had little to do with gaming in general just shows how screwed Sega was in the console market at that time. No wonder the Dreamcast was their last one. I know there's a lot of other reasons for Segas demise, but at the same time damn. :/

    The PS5 has been in back order almost as long as the dream cast was in production

    Limp Bizkit had some sort of promotion with Sega and there was an ad for the online service that had Fred Durst and was like "If you ever get your ass kicked, it was me on the other end of the line." So I suppose that can be official enough.

    9:22 This era of mobile gaming is actually very interesting. You could even earn a Dreamcast from it at the time but right now it is the abandonedest of the abandonware. Nobody cared for some reason. I sometimes wish one day, some people from telecommunication companies just find all these games sitting on a disk or something in somewhere and release them on the internet.

    That last Dreamcast looks like a case swap. During the last year of the Dreamcasts life there were alternate cases available in several colors. I believe there might still be a few floating around. The idea was you would take your internals, swap them into the new case, and if you wanted too add LEDs or stickers for a custom look.

    The RX-78 Dreamcast is meant to be a reference to Mobile Suit Gundam. To be specific, the OG RX-78-2 that the main character pilots. But, I can see where you thought it resembled Sonic.

    You can buy translucent replacement shells now for around $70-120. They even make replicas of the Resident Evil versions. I've bought a few, they are high quality and worth the money.

    I remember going to a Limp Bizkit concert 22? years ago (Godsmack and DMX were also there. 🤘) and for some reason, they hyped the hell out of Ultimate Fighting Championship for the Dreamcast right before Limp Bizkit came on. Being a Dreamcast fanatic at the time (still am really) I found this to be the highlight of the evening seeing as how the only group I liked was Godsmack. Anyway, word on the street was that Limp Bizkit had a habit of putting on poor performances and walking off. Which I thought it was people making stuff up. And I'll be damned if Fred Durst threw a fit and quit the set like 4 songs in and nearly started a riot. Guess people weren't mangling each other in the mosh pit enough for his liking. lol. Now I'm nearly 40. Getting old is fun.
  • @Abel-Alvarez
    It's official: Limp Bizkit is now part of the SEGA lore.
  • @jacknewton2148
    Man, was my dad confident this was gonna be the next big thing that one Christmas it was out
  • @RemnantCult
    Naming a console for use in pachinko parlors as regulation 7 is like naming a new brand of vaping pens "surgeon general" or what have you.
  • @I_EAT_QUARTERS
    Nick Offerman narrating a video about Dreamcasts is something I didn’t know I wanted until I had it
  • @thesaltyjesus
    I've never wanted a console more than I want that Fred Durst Dreamcast.
  • I proudly own a brand new never opened Super Black Dreamcast...according to some sources it's possible there were only 200 ever made! Why something as simple as a slick all-black Dreamcast was made with such insanely low numbers is odd I am not complaining 😎

    Truly, the best premium exclusive series on YouTube right now. Also, why is Knowledge Hub now called KnowledgeHusk?
