Sitting in the basement room
Console humming, breaking gloom
Whispering my username

Crack open an ice-cold drink
And you say, "Come here I think
We should play another game"

In my faded summer shirt
Watching pixels come to life
Take that controller in hand

I say, "You're the absolute best"
Lean in for a friendship test
Turn your favorite system on
Let's play our video games

It was you, it was us, it was all for us
Every summer that we lived
I tell you all the time
Childhood was a perfect place with you
Tell me all the levels we would beat
I heard that you loved the hardest boss fights
Buddy, was that really true?

It was better than we ever could have dreamed
We said that summer was built for me and you
Only worth living if someone's there gaming with you
Now you're not around

Hanging in the old arcade
Talking with the friends we made
Living off nostalgia

Dreaming in the neon glow
Machines so slow
Video games

All I have are memories now
Blurry and I see the pixels
This is all I think about

Watching all our crew move on
In and out of what we'd known
This was our idea of fun
Playing video games with you

It was us, it was all for us
Every summer that we lived
I tell you all the place with you
Tell me all the levels we would beat
Heard that you loved the hardest boss fights
Buddy, was that really true?

It was better than we ever could have dreamed
We said that summer was built for me and you
Only worth living if someone, someone's there gaming with you
Now you're not around

It was you, it was us, it was all for us
Every summer that we lived
I tell you all the time
Childhood was a perfect place with you
Tell me all the levels we would beat
I heard that you loved the hardest boss fights
Buddy, was that really true?

It was better than we ever could have dreamed
We said that summer was built for me, for me and you
Only worth living if someone's there gaming with you
Now you're not around
Not around.

Stay tuned week to week as your hosts, Tyson Gifford and William Rohrig, discuss a myriad of topics spanning the 3 major mediums of entertainment.


OnScreen Episode 196 - Sinners

WELL.  Here we are once again!  This week we're talking about the BLADE script being on it's 4th version, Taika Waititi's JUDGE DREDD, Neil Druckmann leaving TLOU Season 3, and how John for some reason doesn't like listening to singles before albums come out.  It's weird.  We don't quite understand it either.  We also discuss the trailers for TRON: ARES, Mortal Kombat II, and Hoppers!  All this, plus a whole lot more nonsense!

YaketyCAST - Episode 119: It's Not Like Avatar!
