Thanks! VW Dealer made me an offer on my 9 year old 2013 GTI I couldn't refuse. And no dealer markup on the new one either. They made the upgrade easy.
came here to say this same thing. that car is rock-n-roll; like 80's metal rocking. that car is like what streets of rage 2 would drive if it could have a car.
This swap meet was unreal thank you once again you need to do videos like this more often Just showing what's in the wild is amazing. Thank you MJ quality stuff once again.
Awesome! We have a newborn and during her late night feedings I have been watching old MJR and Reggie pick-ups videos. This is great to see! Hopefully we can get a new hour long pick-ups video sometime in the near future too!
Over the last 2 weeks I watched all your videos from 7 years a go til now. New sub that has caught up. Love the MJR crew, John x 2, Reggie (absolutely love the guy), older videos with Kels and Kins 🔥 cheers mate 🍺
4:40 I had the double dragon Tiger Electronics handheld, when I was like 7yrs old. This brought back memories. I totally forgot about it, till I saw them.
Honestly I was thinking about proposing this to you a few weeks ago when I watched your last pickup video. You and Reggie going on a roadtrip for video games. Nice to see the Johns too. This is so cool!
Haven't been very active but I love you guys man and glad y'all got to go on this cool trip and have fun all in the love of gaming ☺️ without gaming this world would be so DULL keep rocking and kicking ass guys!
My brother and I got to see him at this even and talk to metal Jesus for a bit. He was super nice and was more than happy to talk to us. Thanks metal Jesus, always good to see you at the events in Portland. All we got at the time we saw him was a death smiles Xbox360 faceplate.
Several of these images almost make me cry but because of how beautiful they are, so many memories, so many good feelings, thank you very much Metal Jesus!
Hey MJ, great video and great message at the end. I know I definitely feel isolated where I live and don't really have anyone I know who's in to the hobby like I am. Especially with prices rising and garage sales/thrift stores becoming less viable, it's become tough to not be a little disenchanted with everything. I've been hitting up Too Many Games for a few years now though, and it really helps put that spark back in it for me. Definitely one of the things I look forward to most every year!
@@chocolatewheelchair I’ll pick up sort of whatever strikes my fancy if it’s a good deal, so I have at least some games for most consoles. I’d say I’m “focusing” on 360, PS3, Xbox, and a little bit of PSP at the moment though. You?
@@chocolatewheelchair I feel that. Instead of game hunting I’m mostly just working through my backlog these days. I’d rather just save that money for a convention or something at this point
@@gamebuck that’s cool. I think festivals and conventions are coming back to normal soon. All I know is modern gaming is so repetitive and exhausting, I literally only want to play games made before 2007.
I was tempted too by the IIgs and iMac. There was some amazing stuff. I picked up a boxed Super Famicom and a bunch of games then grabbed a Vectrex when I stopped by DoubleJump on the way home. Enjoyed meeting you on Saturday (it was towards the end, I had my three kids and thanked for all your buying guides).
that Pirates game is the same that came out for multiple platforms in 2004, you likely saw the XBox or PSP version at some point- they are the same version
Not many of these events in the UK, but the ones we do have are alright. I love the atmosphere more than anything. Not often I am amongst fellow nerds 😂
That Yoda plug n play I had as a kid and loved it! The games are actually incredibly fun haha, loved seeing some footage of them here. It’s been a long time since I’ve played it. Great video!
I think you might love a show down here in SoCal MJR. It's called Frank & Son, in Rowland Heights, CA. About the size of a Costco warehouse maybe a little bigger.
Yes Quest for Fame came out over here in Europe in the 90s for PC aswell. You used a virtual pic and a tennis racket and it worked pretty well for that time.
I also haven’t been to any cons or retro shows in two years. Stoked to see you back out there. Love the vid. Gets me pumped to finally get back to cons.
When you said "if you don't live around other people who are into the stuff you are, like video games and pop/nerd culture" BOY I feel that one 🤣 I live in the backwoods of South Carolina and theirs like.....3 gaming stores between my house and the 3 hour trip to make it to Myrtle Beach (which has the most used game stores and culture in our state) lol I grew up like this tho so you get used to it and ebay becomes your best friend 🤣🤣
This video makes the world seems right again! My wife is taking me to Vegas in April for the first time, I can't wait to visit some of their game stores.
oh wow test drive 2, I love those rainbird game releases too. Thanks for showing us this stuff, it's cool to see the retro events from the other side of the world. One of my bucket list things to do is flying back to the USA (last time was 2013) and going to seattle and portland for the retro gaming expo and just checking out shops and meeting some other retro gamers from our generation (early 70's) I also want to visit bruce and brandon lee's gravesite at Lake View park in Seattle as I'm a huge fan and was born during the making of enter the dragon, just months before he died.
Awesome video @Metal Jesus. I smiled when I saw you had a manual car and immediately thought "of course he does." Almost spit out my coffee when I saw that Panzer Dragoon Saga price!!
@@MetalJesusRocks me and my wife buy a new house soon. The both of you have inspired me to build a great gameroom. I've always collected but now I want something presentable. I absolutely love your videos and especially ones with Reggie. You both genuinely look like your always having fun in eachothers presence.
Looked a good one mate, nice too see with with John H and Riggs too. Love a video of you all back together again with Pink Gorilla too and the nice lass that went to Japan 👍🏻
I immediately recognized that Aerosmith game. I had it on the PC and played the snot out of it back in the day. It had a pack-in wired peripheral pick that you did indeed use to strum against a tennis racket, but I also remember that there was a standalone peripheral that was wireless and let you strum in the air. The game was extremely cheesy in that classic FMV adventure title way, but it was absolutely awesome too.
Your travel videos are easily my favorite! Rock on Metal Jesus \m/ it honestly doesn't feel like the weekend until I'm watching a new MJR video, hope you're enjoying the new Ghost album man lots of love
I don't play a lot of games anymore . But I always love your content metal jesus. Dude you totally rock and thank god for your oh so real way of recording your videos its so natural and always makes me happy and calm for some reason. More importantly your retro games and all the older consoles that you have gives me such a nice feeling everytime you reveal a anything new in your collection. Do keep up this positivity 🤘🤘🤘 you truly rock
Its friday afternoon (here in 🇩🇪😉) ready for weekend and a Metal Jesus Roadtripp Vid pops up!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Man, no better way to start weekend❤️ I love to see how you guys celebrate our passions thousands miles away…hopefully we get some retro conventions in the future here in germany, too. Its damn about time. Absolutely 💯 agree to your last words - couldn’t say it any better. Best wishes 🖖🏼
Man, Forza looks so realistic! It's like you actually drove somewhere IRL with all those weather effects. Very clever edit. Almost got me! JK, just couldn't help but think about your recent Forza video and your love for racing games. With the weather changing, the relatively long "track", and that yellow car, I immediately thought Forza.
This was my first video game swap and or convention. I moved from San Francisco last year to Portland. It was great! I saw you Sunday talking to my friend Bueller while I was digging through the bins. I wanted to say hi but when I went to find you it was around lunch time and I think you may have left for a bit. I hope PRGE happens this year and we can link up then. Thanks as always for the amazing content!
Nice! Didn't realize it was THAT packed, wife and I came on Sat afternoon and it was full but not overwhelming...or maybe just having a mini expo after nothing for 2 years made me not care. Thanks for being cool - you said hi to us as we were coming in. One thing - Starbucks? I will personally drive you to any other local coffee place in Portland. There is much better to be had for a fraction of the price.
old arcade manuals are really cool, you can find some online and they're actually really interesting, some tell you exactly how it works...they're amazing.
Been such a long time since I've caught up on your channel, I miss you MJR!! I might have to make a trip up from California one day, looks like there's not only a bunch of great stuff, but great deals too!!
Man, this trip was so much fun.🤩 We got a bunch of cool stuff at the Portland Retro Swap Meet. Shoutout ti Josh Hamlin for making that show happen.
You make a good co-pilot my friend! We'll have to do it again soon 🤘
Thank You for Serving Our Country, Reggie!
9:36 You look like a kid that didn't want to go back home from a summer camp.
@@AyratHungryStudent lmao
damn love you reg....i actually named my dog after you
If there wasn't enough reason to love Metal Jesus already, he now owns a Yellow Golf GTI with a stick shift, that's pretty sick, man.
Thanks! VW Dealer made me an offer on my 9 year old 2013 GTI I couldn't refuse. And no dealer markup on the new one either. They made the upgrade easy.
@@MetalJesusRocks Nice upgrade! Love the unique color.
came here to say this same thing.
that car is rock-n-roll; like 80's metal rocking.
that car is like what streets of rage 2 would drive if it could have a car.
Good thing someone noticed his new ride 😎👌
For us car fans, what do you like most about the newer GTI?
MetalJesus + Reggie collabs are the best 😍
I feel like Hermione Granger: "Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?"
😂
Funny you comment a Harry Potter reference, I’ve just finished my annual HP marathon
@Corbyn Bellamy - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban will always be my favorite HP movie. The plot and twists in that movie are so much fun.
it’s weird seeing your luscious locks there, but they get your good side lol
and you got great dance moves!
@@MetalJesusRocks 100% agreed man!
I had so much fun hanging out with you! Great to see events to be in person again!
Are you really a crazy guy?
where can i order one of those retro game quest homebrewed cartridges?
Play Big Mutha Truckers 1 and 1 for PS2, it is amazing. And Mr. Driller - Drill Spirits for DS is the best game ever made.
This swap meet was unreal thank you once again you need to do videos like this more often
Just showing what's in the wild is amazing.
Thank you MJ quality stuff once again.
You and Reggie are truly video games soulmate
There always much fun that see you with Reggie in any videos
Absolutely love these game traveling + collecting videos.
More to come!

Thanks for always being such a rad and positive person! especially during these times. Always look forward to Metal Jesus Fridays.
Seeing a video like this, makes it finally feel like everything is returning to normal. Thank MetalJesus and Reggie.
So excited to see this! Happy you two got together, and hope everything is going well for you both! :)

What's better than a pickups video with Metal Jesus and Radical Reggie? How about a roadtrip game hunting video?
Reggie's reaction at 9:39 is how most of us feel a lot of the time. Great video as always!
My favorite type of metal Jesus videos (game hunting) can’t wait for this one 💯
5:28 yeaaa Double jump Video games! They have their own UA-cam Channel too, with daily videos!
Metal Jesus that Aerosmith game came out in the states too for PC. I had it growing up and played. Totally forgot it existed!
I love these two together it's always a blast!
Several of these images almost make me cry but because of how beautiful they are, so many memories, so many good feelings, thank you very much Metal Jesus!
You and Reggie rock! can't wait to see your next pick up video, always enjoy watching it.
"You should go to Double Jump Video Games!" :)
Funny you should mention that 😉
Awesome video. I REALLY like these video game hunting videos.

What are you collecting?
@@chocolatewheelchair I’ll pick up sort of whatever strikes my fancy if it’s a good deal, so I have at least some games for most consoles. I’d say I’m “focusing” on 360, PS3, Xbox, and a little bit of PSP at the moment though. You?
@@gamebuck I gave up collecting video games at this point in time.
@@chocolatewheelchair I feel that. Instead of game hunting I’m mostly just working through my backlog these days. I’d rather just save that money for a convention or something at this point

I remember you! And yep...so much goodness. I actually have another lead on a Apple IIgs from a friend here in Seattle, so it may happen
That Space Invaders game that Riggs is playing at 8:10 is hard as nails. It's at my local arcade and I always die so quickly lol. It's great though
I was there on Saturday with a friend of mine. It was the first video game event I've ever been to and it was an absolute blast!
Great episode guys and great pickups. Thanks for all the amazing content.
Thanks for watching!
i only wish this video couldve been much longer, always enjoy to see you guys game hunting
Love these road trip vids! And Reggie's in this one!
Glad you like them!
that Pirates game is the same that came out for multiple platforms in 2004, you likely saw the XBox or PSP version at some point- they are the same version

What a great friendship you guys have! \m/
Had that Ratt Cassette and Ozzy...LOL. Love it!
This video was awesome MJR, a few days late to watch but finally got around to it. Amazing stuff you showed on video!
Video drop on a Friday morning from MJ, is a blessing.
Morning!
LOL that intro made it sound like you used to travel with Reggie strapped to the roof or something. "now we're letting him in the car!"
Just in time to watch this while I eat breakfast !! Woohoo !! Much love from Niagara Falls Ontario Canada !! Cheers MetalJesusRocks n Reggie
Reggie and Jesus always are the best vids.
I need another 60 minute Reggie video soon please
Reggie and I are going to do another Game Pickups video in a couple weeks. We have some Holy Grails to show ya.

I LOVE these road trip videos!!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Looked a good one mate, nice too see with with John H and Riggs too. Love a video of you all back together again with Pink Gorilla too and the nice lass that went to Japan 👍🏻

Wish I’d run into y’all while you were down. So fun to hear you talk about (and misunderstand 😜) Portland. Really appreciate you guys
The dynamic duo! Dude, wished you would’ve stopped in at Double Jump Video Games with Cooper and Abbey.
You guys have a great energy together!
Metal Jesus and Reggie taking on the open road! Great video! Thanks for the content!
Glad you made it to Portland! I live in Beaverton, which is the large suburb right outside of downtown Portland.
Just two big kids, riding around in a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, looking for some video games.
At 4:30 I would love to have that Normandy ship. Have the smaller one and it’s awesome!
Your travel videos are easily my favorite! Rock on Metal Jesus \m/ it honestly doesn't feel like the weekend until I'm watching a new MJR video, hope you're enjoying the new Ghost album man lots of love
Well maybe NEXT year you guys can see each others smiles and faces!
A lot of cool looking old stuff. I definitely had to pause many times to take a look.
It was really nice meeting you there!
Cheers!
Same here!
I hope you all are coming to the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo in June. I'm going for the first time and am very excited!
I miss this kind of events, since this health crysis started we haven't had any of these around here (Portugal).
Hey metal Jesus I was the one that gave you the lord of magna. It was great seeing you again and hope you enjoy the game :)
Thanks so much man! That was a total surprise. You rock! 🤘
Boy, this site was amazing. It's been 2 years but feels like we haven't skipped a beat! Thank you for doing such a nice video of the show.

Make longer videos of this type! We need more! 😁😁
Always awesome to see the all time Radical Reggie and the Metal Jesus together! Good stuff 🎮😎👍
I love your road trip game hunting series of videos
I had that Yoda plug and play as a kid, vague memories of it and I remember liking it

That arcade bar looks heIIa frickin' fun...🤘🏼💯✔️
Just finished playing Eastward.
Fantastic game with great gameplay, story and characters.
