“My 2014 release of Replay quickly became my most popular video and five years later remains among my top watched videos each week,” comments FamilyJules. “It was awesome to see so many people enjoying it since I was so passionate about that project. Yet five years later, there’s five more years to tack on to the end! The first Replay was made under an insane time crunch of one week, but this time I had much more time to give each part of the project as much time as it needed to be the best I could make it. This Replay was made not only to be a more accurate representation of influential game soundtracks, but made to include some of the tracks people said they missed the most in the video comments. Thank so much for watching and I hope you enjoy!”
