Happy New Year to you, Adam, and everyone else!
Happy new years been watching for a while since I was 9 or 10 I'm 16 now still watching your my favorite platinum trophy collector my man keep going
Most glorious beard on UA-cam goes to...
You are too kind. Certainly grows in well.
Happy New Year, Adam! I got the platinum for the new Silent Hill 2 and no regrets - I got to know it really well by the time I was done and really came to appreciate all its nuances. Excited to see you try it on too.
Happy New Year to you too. I'm glad you speak so highly of Silent Hill 2, makes me excited to play it at some point.
What a unique annual wrap up video. Always appreciate the unique content, man. Cheers to 2025!
Glad you appreciate it. Was fun putting it together. Cheer to 2025 indeed!
Fantastic video! Looking forward to another amazing year with'The Mad Lad'
All the best pal, have a great new year!
Thank you. All the best to you too. Hope 2025 is a good one for you!
Happy new year Adam, here's to a good 2025.
Also, 3:04 I think you do 😆
Happy New Year to you too, buddy.
Haha, the power of a Doctor Who DVD!
What a fun look back. Your videos and screen presence in general are awesome. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing your 2025 videos too!
Wow, that is such a nice compliment about screen presence. Thank you.
Cheers. 2025 is gonna be a great one!
Happy New Year! This channel has been the greatest surprise to me in the past year. I love the platform and love the presentation. Hope 2025 is brilliant for you. Cheers mate!
Thank you. I'm delighted you enjoy my channel so much. Hope 2025 is brilliant for you too.
You’re one of my favorite channels Adam, look forward to seeing what you hold in store for 2025!
I'm honoured to be one of your favourites. 2025 is gonna be a big one!
Loving the beard Adam, looking good.
Happy new year. 🥳
Thank you. I'm growing it while playing through Death Stranding. Felt it would be a good idea much like how I did it for The Witcher 3.
Happy New Year to you too!
When I was in Belfast I remember having a conversation with the taxi driver about the 300k bike shed, got to love some good ol' fashioned bureaucracy.
It was the biggest political story of the year. Still baffling about the cost and nobody lost their job.
Happy new year Adam! Looking forward to the Death Stranding and Elden Ring videos!
Also might be visiting Limerick for the first time for that meetup! A bit closer to me than Manchester-
Keep it up as always, and am looking forward to (potentially) going to the meetup! :)
Happy New Year to you too!
We would be happy to have you. We won't be doing Manchester again.
Cheers!
Adam McDermott ❌️
Adam McKratos ✔️
Haha, fair

Happy New Year to you too! Cheers. Glad you enjoyed the mix of things.
Happy new year Adam! Thanks for a wonderful 2024 and cant wait for what 2025 has in store. 😍🥳

Happy new year Adam, looking forward to more platinum journeys in 2025
Thank you. Happy New Year to you too!
Many wonderful things happened to me this year that I am very grateful and happy about. I also count your videos among these things, Adam. I wish you a wonderful new year. Please stay as you are.
I'm honoured to be among the wonderful things from your past year. Don't worry, I'll keep being myself.
Happy New Year Adam! Guess I'll be making a nice trip to Limerick this year!
Happy New Year to you too, buddy. Yes indeed. Some of the nicest Guinness in the world here.
🍻 Adam! Some great content in 2024! Looking forward to more in 2025!
Thank you very much!
Adam you have definitely been watching Reeling in the Years :) Cool video and all the best for 2025
Reeling in the Years is excellent so I'm happy with the comparison. All the best for you too!
This video is how I get my news for the year haha!! Great stuff
Haha, glad I could be your news feed for the past year
Happy new year buddy. All the best for 25.
Happy New Year to you too and wishing you the best for 2025!
Happy new year from Italy Adam. All the best
Happy New Year to you too! Would love to live in Italy for a while someday. Eat pizza every day :)
happy new year adam🎉🎉🎉🎉
looking forward to your videos in 2025🎉
Happy New Year to you too!
Happy new year Adam look forward to more platinums of yours.
Cheers. Happy New Year to you too!
2:55 my Man 👊👌
Sometimes you gotta go for it :)
Happy New year in Ireland Adam.
Thank you. Happy New Year to you too!
Another excellent video from an excellent year from you, Adam. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for providing such quality content, here’s to an even better 2025
You were quick on the draw. You are more than welcome. I'm very excited for 2025.
I never knew you used to come to my town Manchester😭😭 been watching and loving your vids for years!
Yep, 3 years in a row in Manchester. Might have accidently passed us on a night out.
Thanks for watching my videos over the years!
Now this is exactly what I wanna be watching on NYE! Great Stuff. Happy New Year Adam! 🥳
Honoured to be part of your NYE. Happy New Year to you too!
This year was most definitely filled with both highs and lows. 2025 is shaping up to be something really special! MGS3 remake and of course the very long awaited GTAVI are on the horizon. Cheers to you Adam! And I hope your new year is always filled with the best of the best! ^^
2025 is looking great so far. Cheers to you too. Hope your new year is excellent!
Happy New Year Adam!!!
Happy New Year to you too!
Happy new year!
Happy New Year to you too!
Thank you for this. Happy New Year
You are more than welcome. Happy New Year to you too!
Happy new year, Adam. All the best for next year! 🎉❤
Thank you. Happy New Year to you too!
Happy new year Adam! Looking forward to seeing what gifts you will be giving us throughout the year this next year my good sir! Platinum Claus is the new name for you 🎉
Happy New Year to you too! Platinum Claus...I like it :)
Heck yea! Happy new year. Man I do need an excuse to go to Ireland..
Happy New Year to you too. Ireland is a lot of fun. Irish people are some of the easiest to talk to.
Adam please do a 5 hour asmr video so I can fall asleep easily from now on lol. Fantastic video, and learnt quite a bit of what happened this year.
Haha, the Q&A videos range from 2-3 hours. That might do the trick.
Happy New Year Adam, never thought we'd see you with a bit of a tan haha looking very healthy!
I'm intrigued by the idea of taking a sabbatical and pissing off to Asia by myself for a bit, not sure where I'd start with the planning and budgeting though!
Happy New Year to you too. Cheers, I'm feeling pretty good.
That is a very cool idea. I'd recommend Thailand, Korea and Japan for a first-timer. Easy to adjust to potential culture shock. However, if you go to Thailand you can get quick and cheap fights around all of Southeast Asia or even ride boats/buses. Very safe over there and great food!
As for budgeting, Booking . com and Agoda are good options for short-term accommodation, AirBnB and local real estate agents for monthly rentals. Skyskanner for flights. 12go for other transport.
Hope this helps.
Happy new year Adam. another excellent video. Very excited for the Elden Ring episode. If it's not too much of a Platinum Journey spoiler, who were some of your favorite bosses?
Happy New Year to you too. Glad you enjoyed the video. Malenia is by far my favourite. I quite like her character design and the arena you fight in. Margit would be my second.
You made me try Death Stranding again, as I did not enjoy it the first time but this time I've loved it. Just finished the story and it's brilliant, I loved the ending. Can't wait for the plat journey. Best wishes bud.
I'm honoured. It is such a good game. Haven't quite finished it yet myself. Gonna be an interesting episode.
Best wishes to you too!
Happy New Year, Adam! 🎉
Happy New Year to you too!
Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit! My man is looking more and more like kratos with every passing video lmao. Here’s to a fantastic 2024 and hopefully an even better 2025!
Haha, just need to pack on about 80 pounds of muscle and I'm there. Hope you have a great 2025 too!
Happy New Year Adam

Happy New Year, mate 🍻
Happy New Year to you too!
Happy New Year! also today's my Birthday
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy new year wonderful people
Happy New Year to you too, buddy!
Happy new year 🎉
Happy New Year to you too!
Babe wake up, Reeling in the Years 2024 just dropped 🎉
That is a huge compliment. Thank you. Reeling in the Years is some of the best stuff on Irish TV.
When Hellblade 2 gets ported to ps5 I'll definitely buy and get it. I loved the first one and just want to experience the sequel
I think I'll do the same
Cheers Adam!
Also, 16:14 sounds like Ireland pulled an America. “The government investigated the government, and the government deems that the government did nothing wrong.”
Haha, excellent way of putting it. Blatant theft of taxpayer money and somehow nobody was at fault.
Happy New Year Adam. They still do tubing in Vang Vieng? Had some mad times there and Thailand back in the day.
Happy New Year to you too. Tubing is still done in both places. However, Vang Vieng's one has been toned down. You could float for up to an hour without coming across a bar. Nothing like the chaos back in the day.
The tubing in Pai is still good craic. One tubing company put a boxing ring at the final bar. It leads to some...interesting results.
Awesome video Adam and have a great new year next year might start on the dlc games and try and finish elden ring
Thank you. I hope you have a great new year too!
Certainly finish Elden Ring. I saved Malenia for last.
Started watching vid in 2024, finished watching in 2025. Making this platinum journey vid the last and first of the year at once. 😂
Welcome to the channel. Glad you stuck around :)
Love the beard Adam
Thank you. It grows in well. Gonna be part of the Death Stranding episode.
Happy New Year man. Yeah Death Stranding was my game of the year last year. Kojimas best works since MGS 3. Definitely gonna pick up DS2 on the day one and break out of my patient gamer routine. Did you ever think of doing compilation episode of excellent short platinums? Some great ones like Dredge, Chernobylite, abes Exodus, Deliver us the moon and animal well
I agree with Death Stranding being Kojima's best work since MGS3.
That is an interesting idea but I'd rather go into more depth and focus on one game at a time.
First of all, Happy new year! Wish you the best from the Netherlands!
For the rest, I think that Concord can be saved. What Sony should do imo, is replacing all the characters with PlayStation characters, add PlayStation inspired levels into the mix, add some gamemodes and change the name (for obvious reasons 😅) and I think you have a pretty decent game.
Ow and if you like Chernobyl inspired content, you should try the metro series. I have not played it myself, but I hear a lot of great things from those game. I'm planning to buy those for Steam one day, but first I want to finish Uncharted: the lost Legacy (quite an easy platinum trophy).
I am looking forward to your videos!
Happy New Year to you too! Oh cool, my brother has been living in the Netherlands for the last few years.
That's actually a pretty good idea about saving Concord.
I've already played Metro 2033 and bought Last Light recently. Quite enjoy the atmosphere.
Best of luck with Lost Legacy. Some of the levels are gorgeous.
All the best to you!
Nice happy new year
Happy New Year to you too!
5:10 a very small victory considering the game is still not available to purchase in countries that dont have psn.
Good point
amazing video (:
Thank you very much!
Hey Adam! I know you’re a huge wrestling fan and was wondering what were some of your favourite matches or events from this year?
Okada vs Danielson at Wrestle Kingdom
Ospreay vs PAC at All In
Swerve vs Banielson at All In
Ospreay vs Fletcher at the recent World's End
CM Punk vs Drew at Hell in a Cell
Reigns vs Cody at Wrestlemania
What are your favourites?
@ nice list, my favourite was swerve vs Danielson, but a close second was Toni vs Mariah. That slap mariah hit on her mother would make kobashi proud! 😂
@@gustylikewind4006 Haha, Kobashi approves
I love your content man
I'm delighted to hear that. Thank you.
You should definitely do a video on Life Is Strange, The uncharted Legacy of thieves and some of the far cry games!
I've played a bit of Life is Strange but it didn't click with me, same goes with the Far Cry games.
Good news though, I've already made episodes about Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy.
@AdamMcDermott Yeah, I saw the uncharted videos! I think they were the first of your videos I saw around 4-5 years ago. I'd personally like you to do another call Of duty platinum, or maybe GTA 5.
@LeonBaldwin-rc2bp I was hoping Modern Warfare 3 would get a remaster. However, the Modern Warfare reboot looks cool.
As for GTAV, the online is real turn off. Lots of grinding. GTA3 is in my sightlines though. Would be nice to add to the Vice City and San Andreas episodes.
@@AdamMcDermott If you're a fan of racing games, The Crew 2 by Ubisoft is on PS Plus Extra, it's like a 30 hours platinum but has great gameplay for a nearly 7 year old game.
@@AdamMcDermott There is a game like GTA based in Hong Kong, it's called sleeping dogs definitive edition and excels in hand-to-hand combat and shooting. There's is no online trophies and you can probably get it on disc for less than a tenner.
Happy new year Adam! Just a quick question. I'm rewatching your dmc 2 video and I noticed that you taped your controller. Why is that?
Happy New Year to you too! I don't like the lights coming from the controller. When I'm not recording, I play in the dark and the lights are an annoyance. I want complete immersion. Controller settings allow me to dim them, but I want them fully off. My solution was to put tape over them.
@AdamMcDermott thats pretty clever. I feel you though, the light can be annoying. I even dimmed em on the console. An option to fully have them off would be nice.
Would the game Dusk be a fun platinum?
While I'm interested in Dusk, might be good for you
Damn looking forward to your Death Stranding Review. It's in my all time fav games. But i realize it's not for everyone.
I adored Death Stranding. Unique and fascinating.
Silent Hill 2 Remake is so good. You'll definitely enjoy it. Try it with the sound up and lights out. Terrifying experience.
Excellent to hear and thanks for the tip. Although, I do need the lights on to record myself playing, haha.
Adam with the hospital rizz
Haha, forget bars and clubs, go to the hospital
Running the length of Africa is some achievement. I'd be worried about the wildlife first then the heat and bad people
It is incredible. Fair play to him.
Heh, I see Irish government spending is not that different from Polish:) cheers Adam, one of my favorite channels out there. Epic beard btw:) Dosiego roku!
Governments around the world just love taking advantage of their people it seems.
I'm honoured to be one of your favourite channels. Cheers, it grows in well and will be part of the Death Stranding episode.
All the best to you!
When Adam cracks open a tin 5 seconds into a video, you know it’s going to be a good one! 🍻
Haha, cheers!
Who even says "two thousand and twenty four" anymore
This guy :)
