The movie was aimed at the kind of 15-year-olds that you see in the comment sections for Beatles or Queen songs, saying "all the other kids in my class listen to Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj, I'm the only one who listens to these classics. guess I was born in le wrong generation!!"
Imagine those kids seeing everyone from their class watch it on the same day as them.
It would be a hilarious pissing contest on who could name the most references they saw in the movie.
EmperorFishFinger I’m 15 and I listen to the Beatles but I mean who the fuck actually listens to music on UA-cam
you like what you like. Don't judge them
Plenty of 35 year olds think just like that too.
I never fucking thought I would ever hear Danny Phantom be mentioned in Half in the Bag.
Alejandro Benett rich is a cool dude, still watching children's cartoons
Who Dat Ninja "Massacre"? Did he even killed anyone?
Must be the first time a cartoon has been mentioned in hitb
deceased
it also ripped off spy kids 3 game over
That was season 1 episode 12 Danny Phantom. It aired October 15, 2004.
Ready Player One was published August 16, 2011.
Reads identical to the book
Nate D Of course he was lmao
Good bot
How old was Rich when he saw that episode? Why does it feel weird that he knows Danny Phantom, and more specifically the episode "Ready Player One" ripped off?
Geez, there’s nothing like realizing your cartoons are (sigh)... old now.. ack
It took the Internet 18 hours to figure out where Shia laobeouf hid a flag in the country where the only things shown on camera was a open sky and the flag that says “he will not devide us” I think the Internet would’ve figured out this mystery of the keys in a few days, week tops
I also enjoy the works of the internet historian.

As well as the fact that Japanese kids exist and play videogames.

I can't believe they made a movie adaptation of the funko pop section of a hot topic

This is it. The perfect one sentence review.
KyleKatarn Are you sure you're old enough to read YA novels?

Neck yourself.
The CGI Jay is really distracting. I know it took a lot of effort to do that for a YT video, but, it doesn't clear the uncanny valley.
It doesn't matter Einstein..they live in a virtual world so everybody gonna look like yesterdays video game characters.
@S R I don't think they actually understand the uncanny valley effect, and just liked the explosions so defend the movie out of instinct. (I'm assuming there are explosions, I haven't seen the movie.)

Oh wow. A somewhat innovative comment on a RLM vid. Well done. I could not have done better.
Oh that was perfect, hat off to you brother
JOKE OF THE DAY!
No slide trombone necessary, this is a brilliant joke
I don't usually like youtube comments, but you earned it with this one.
A world of pure imagination... made up entirely of references to other things. PURE, IMAGINATION.
In the Oasis, you can be anything you want to be. Or you could just be Tracer or The Iron Giant.
Still not untrue. A world of other people's imagination.
Image of Oasis is so quaint and naive, when you turn your head and see fucking Second Life or VRchat.
I would’ve loved this movie heckin lot more if the characters really could be whatever they wanted. Like a talking velociraptor or Nic Cage in a bear suit!
@@revolverswitch how is it got to do with the warp
Mike is so happy when he says: NPC! I know this term! I learned from the book!
Rich: Yeah, it´s a common term.
Rich?
Who's Rich?
@@suzbone I mean Jay, of cause
That was a cute moment ngl
Mike played D&D in high school but didn't know what an NPC is.
As a side note, can we stop it with trailers having sad slow covers of famous songs? It’s getting annoying
As long as movie studios make films that rely on nostalgia to sell movie tickets, I don't think you'll get your wish anytime soon.
I remember watching the GB16 trailer and sighing when I heard the first few notes of the Ghostbusters theme in somber piano rendition. It really is shameless nostalgia jerking.
Dune has a Pink Floyd cover. The Batman has a Nirvana cover. The trend is still going strong.
I hate that trope. So overused and hammy.
Hahahahahaha Hollywood says no
Lol you just KNOW Mike had to use Rich because Jay refused to see Ready Player One

The movie misses the biggest truth of online gaming. How come every avatar was different? In reality there would have been 10,000 Ugandan Knuckles on the battlefield in that last scene.
Or usernames without numbers and symbols "Our hero xX_Parcival420%69_Xx"
So can there only be one of each named character? Because if not wouldn't it be a good idea to recruit like a thousand Super Mans to win the game instantly?
Jordan I guess? I mean, I imagine it being like a balance thing, can’t have more than one version of the OP character. I don’t know, the movie is dumb anyways.
because movie
Do the characters even retain any of their abilities? Or are they just avatars? Since it's a free to play game used by everybody I'm gonna guess the latter.
Jay just keeps getting more and more attractive
no his face is so ugly even his hairline is doing its best to avoid it.

B-but it is 20 years old...
@@crackedemerald4930 I AM 30. O.o
The last five minutes of this episode really shows that these two have been life long friends and I love it.
When Rich said "not Jesse Eisenberg" I knew exactly who he was talking about.
wurstbrotmitbutter lol no I just happened to have the exact same association he had with Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera
I was actually thinking of Miles Teller, you can kind of throw him in there with Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera...
And then when Mike said, "Michael Cera is like 45 years old," for a moment I half-believed him because "young"-looking actors are always much older than they look. For once, this was wrong. Cera was born in 1988; he's not even 30 yet.
I was thinking of the kid from zombieland
Brandon Burtchell same
I love how RLM always credits Rich Evans even if he doesn't appear in the episode like this one...such class...
I'm pretty all of them are camera operators (or running sound and whatever else needs to be done) whenever they are not featured on any given RLM episode. We can usually hear one of them laughing in the background at some point during a show. My guess is that Jay was the camera op on this episode. I'm not sure if that is why they always give Rich a credit, though, when he's not featured in an episode of something.
@@gustafsoneRich probably built the HITB set lol

"I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!":The Movie.
I clapped when I saw Danny Phantom!
The deep rhyming poetry of WarGames gets me every time.
The thing that really got me about this movie is it was supposed to take place like 30 years in the future, but all the pop culture references and skins players were using, were of existing things from today and prior, as if there was no new characters or pop culture created in the next 30 years. They didn't even really attempt to create random ones. In contrast, that would be like if we had an OASIS today, and everyone was dressed up like pac man and mario.
Right? It needed that moment from Bill and Ted 2 where the future's having a meeting of past historical figures and there's one crazy woman from like 2050 in the mix.
There is a reason for that, if u read the book , everyone is obsessed with the 80s because of the challenge . I suggest u read the book , it’s amazing, the movie is almost nothing like it.
I mean shrek is a 20 year old movie and is a giant meme.. plus mario is still relevant
@@bjrmagic1 I'm kind of sick of the 80s. I though it was kind of neat in 2002 when gta vc was about it, but its like zombies where im just tired.
@@TheGrizzlo503 Shrek was not a meme from 20 years ago though. Shrek is a modern meme thats a reference to something old. Its more like watching Wayne's World today, where they make make jokes about stuff thats older than them, but under the context of today just seem really outdated.
When Mike & Rich do videos alone, the fact that they are lifelong friends becomes obvious. And dammit, it is downright wholesome
Wtf are you talking about this is Mike and Jay
Ready Player One was unrealistic, literally no one was using an anime avatar and we all know that at least 50% of any game is people using anime avatars
asher not gonna see the movie but glad they didnt infect it with to much weeb shit. Its bad but at least its american bad
Anime is too hot for nu-males, brah.
but are there loads of degenerate furries?
If the oasis were actually a thing it'd just become a degenerate sex dungeon within a couple hours. None of it's realistic
2/10 no smug anime girls running the 3rd Reich.
Only Rich Evans can remember an obscure Danny Phantom episode.
bahamutkod wha... I mean yes! Jay Bauman, of course!
Zchelmer Joash Gamboa for some reason Rich Evans seems to have watched a lot of early 2000s cartoons.
Better lawyer up!
This is why Mike needs Jay around. When he goes missing, Mike spends an episode reviewing a book instead of a movie.
SILLY STOKLASA
I think the target audience (for the book, haven't ever gotten around to seeing the movie) was born in the late '80s to early '90s. People who grew up consuming '80s pop culture because that's what our parents were into, but also grew up with technology and internet culture.
Gamers figured out P.T. in a day when Kojima thought it would take weeks or eveen months.
Zech Evans PT is like 2 rooms though. And people are still finding new stuff in it now.
figuring out =/= understanding
@@MaxxyBee Oh so deep ......

People beat video games before they are even out these days
@@MaxxyBee I'm trying to figure out and understand the point of your comment, 3 years later
Rich namedropping Danny Phantom made me more nostalgic than anything in this movie.
It was a good show but that episode was so preachy.
"I clapped! I clapped when I saw Danny Phantoooom!"
Oh my gawwd I clapped!!! I clapped when I saw someone making an "I clapped comment"!!!!
No one has ever made that comment ever it broke new groooounddd!!!!
On its 14th anniversary too
Did he shoot up a super market for his ghost waifu afterwards?
Ha, Mike accidentally called Jay "Rich" a few times there. How embarrassing.
*Slide whistle*
It's cognitive dissonance. Holding on to a belief that your friend Jay has been recast but also realizing your friend Rich looks nothing like Jay.
no its a retcon, bro
It takes hard work to keep that prestigious Hack Fraud label.
8:48 "You go to school IN the computer"
Rich Evans yet again proving he has precognitive powers
And to think, he was probably just trying to subvert our expectations.
??? he's describing a book, it would be the author that has precognition. did you think mike wrote the book or something?
"I keep touching the book!"
*throws book away*
*symbolically touches book in very next sentence*
I remember when I was in 5th grade I wrote a short story for school, I don't remember too much about it, but I made references to Tie Fighters from Star Wars in a dream sequence. After reading the story in front of the class and getting applaused quite loudly by the entire class, my teacher criticized my Star Wars references and was told you can't do stuff like that.
13 years or so later, Ready Player One did that to the Nth fucking degree. So fuck you Mr. McDonough, that story was ahead of it's time.
Fruitcalculus Psh, he just wanted to keep me from making money............writing shitty films.
Not too late, learn time travel and write it to become rich.

Mike and Rich play off each other in such a different way to Mike and Jay.
It makes an episode like this rally highlight the difference in how they push the topic forward.
Mike and Jay stock go technical stuff way more. Rich makes Mike take his “announcer guy” character further and further. It’s great.
Thats why i love it when all 3 are involved in reviews, i wish half in the bags were always the trio ripping into films
Who's Rich? That is Jay Bauman..
I love how Rich thinks he's doing a 20th century mid-atlantic accent but he's just talking in his normal voice but faster.
“Michael Cera is like 45 years old, he can’t be a high school kid.”
He’s 29, and Cera’s eternal baby face and hushed voice convinced me he could play a small child forever.
A Home Alone remake is pretty much a certainty at this point, right? Calling it now - Michael Cera will play Kevin McCallister, the rambunctious elementary school-aged protagonist.

@@samg9336fuck, the perfect movie has been buried in UA-cam comments for the last 5 years
The Danny Phantom episode came out October of 2004. I'm 85% sure that is before 2011
That, and Danny Phantom writers probably got the idea of using keys like that from that old computer game, Chip's Challenge.
I’ll try to run the numbers and report back
Jr Beans that's a good point
100% sure that that everything in that episode was basic so the fact that ANY game like movie was like is becuase thery're both basic,.
This was the first RLM video I watched. After watching it I binged all of their videos and have been a huge fan ever since. I even bought their films and some of their merchandise.
The Coke Man they are hilarious.
My first video was the rich evans star wars 7 reaction.
Me and my friend laughed our asses of.

I never, in a million years, would have thought I would see DANNY PHANTOM on Half in the Bag
It felt a bit like having a hallucination.
someone explained the book to the script writers, directors, and producers in a loud bar while they waited for their drinks, then nobody looked into it again until after the script was written.
The guy said it himself. He idolized Spielbeg so he didn't fight him on anything.
Took me far too long to realize that wasn’t jay

I've considered Mike an improvisational comedy genius since the first moment I saw him, but the last three seconds of this video made me burst out laughing so hard, I choked on my spit. Thank god for Mike Stoklas.
I love the fact that Spielberg decided to have Space-Cop in the final battle. Best cameo ever!!!

Eh, I think he peaked here
It's funny that Mike immediately thinks of Jason Bateman when Rich is trying to remember Michael Cera's name, because they famously played father and son in Arrested Development.

Nah, that was that Rich guy who got killed. Jay's been here since the beginning.
I just remember that whenever they went into the oasis, they never said or had the words 'READY PLAYER ONE'!!!!!
This movie for young kids living in the past beyond their own actual past.
I both saw the movie and read the book, which was extremely tedious. I could never have described the plot today, 5 years later. Mike is describing pieces where I'm like... "oh.... oh yeah..."
Jay quit because Mike made him watch Demon House.

Ready Player One seriously left me upset with myself for knowing so many stupid, pointless pop culture and nostalgia references. This movie lets you see and hear a large portion of the catalogue of inane made-up nonsense that has been living rent free in our minds and imaginations since childhood and every time they visited a new world and nostalgia-groped us with more jingles and visual elements I would wonder what useful information could have filled that space instead. We have all met these people who can't help but speak in pop culture references as if they were Joss Whedon creations -- who consume the products -- who base their personalities off of Hollywood archetypes and there are so many of them out there. We all know this but man it was shocking to see so much of it on screen at once and realize the extent of the rainbow colored explosive diarrhea living in our minds.
Heck it doesn't even need to be pragmatic info in our heads, even. . We are all capable of imagining these worlds, items and scenarios ourselves that are just as good and sometimes even better than the original Star Wars trilogy. It may be a silly thing to be concerned with or lament but I do often end up having 'Hollywood' inspired dreams and nightmares, but prefer when I have a unique dream or nightmare instead.
This, exactly.
This is one of the most accurate and depressing comments on youtube.
I actually felt a lot better about myself after looking up a list of all of the references in this movie, I didn't catch nearly as many as I thought I did.
Good artists paint but great artists steal
Modern characters are just updated or rearranged archetypes of the same mythical figures we've had throughout history anyway. Don't feel bad, there's nothing new under the sun. Just enjoy it. And if you're REALLY feeling bad about it, make something of your own, then you can spend the rest of your life criticizing yourself instead lol
Mighty_Me that’s not what that saying means
I remember that episode of Danny Phantom. I would never in a million years have remembered it. I used to love that show as a kid.
Rich was about 45 years old when Danny phantom was on, how the heck does he remember a specific episode of it?
Rich also remembers the events of pearl harbor pretty crisply, so I'm not too surprised.
That's jay, dumbass
Hellish Holiness shut the fuck up nerd
He watched it and remembered it I imagine
Well technically he was 30 when Danny Phantom first aired XD.

Way late cynical thought. Spielberg may have also been brought on to direct so they wouldn’t have to pay for licensing, but could instead BE paid for product placement.
“Jesse Eisenberg is a charisma void”
Yes, yes, yes! Dude is the same lame character in every movie
To me it always feels like Eisenberg is playing Mark Zuckerberg playing another role
Frank Merker he played mark zuckerberg so well that he is just mark zuckerberg now
He uses the same inflections for every character.
Is it sad that the moment he said the other nerdy kid I immediately knew he meant Micheal Cera.
Not really if you are somewhere between 25- 35 years old.
Cera starred in Juno (20007), Superbad (2007), and Scott Pilgrim (2010). He played a nerdy character in all of those movies and they were all fairly popular while attracting/pandering to different interest groups, respectively: the just quirky enough movie to be indie and appeal to hipsters and college chicks while being mostly general audience friendly, the stoner movie with a heart which appeals to teenagers while having just enough style to make it popular amongst male students that outgrew/are to snobby for full on teencomedy shlock, the just quirky enough comic adaptation that appeals to the geek crowd and the ''geek'' crowd. So I guess almost all of the people in the age bracket I mentioned saw Cera as a nerd character at least once.
Why the fuck was Jay watching Danny Phantom
Think about it: Mike is embarassed about reading a YA novel. Rich was watching a cartoon for kids that was airing when he was, at least, 25.
He’s the next Randy Stair
can anyone blame rich for watching cartoons while mike IS watching ghost hunters shows?
I bought the book because everyone was saying it was almost a sci fi classic... Such a piece of garbage
That kinda implies whoever told you that thought the generic isekai plot was pushing the envelope for scifi. Shitty flavour of the month anime would blow his mind.
"Oh Mr. Spielberg, here's your blood!"
I want to add that the pop culture references missed the point too. The Iron Giant fighting. The threats in the Shining being purely physical and not psychological and ambiguous like the original movie.
Just one of the many stupid changes from book to movie - In the book he pilots Leopardon, not The Iron Giant.
People keep harping on the Iron Giant but all of you seem to have no clue.
For one, it's a mock up of the Iron Giant, not the robot itself. It still has to be driven. Second, would Iron Giant not feel at least the obligation to fight to save his friends? Besides that, he's not actually hurting anyone, it's all a video game.
So no, context or not, there's nothing wrong with Iron Giant in this movie.
@@Deadeye313 That's like taking the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland and having him be sane. The entire point of The Iron Giant was 'You are who you choose to be'. The Iron Giant is literally a story about choosing pacifism against its very nature, given that it had a self-defense system and a war mode. That's why people say it should've been Leopardon- because it's purpose was always to fight, to destroy. It's like changing Idi Amin into Martin Luther King Jr. for a fight scene.
For someone who accuses other of having no clue, it seems like you think context can just be removed from a character. It can't, otherwise it ceases to be that character. They had 50,000 mecha characters that they could've chosen from and they *went out of their way* to turn the pacifist into a weapon of war. It's insulting.
@@howareyoumoreofaclownthanme no. It's like some guy dressing up as the mad hatter and automatically expecting him to be insane because he's wearing the same clothes as the hatter. Despite the old saying, clothes do not, in fact, make the man.
It's not the iron giant, it's just an iron giant skin
God, it was so frustrating seeing Mike and Jay* try to figure out the target demographic. It's MANCHILDREN. The demographic is MANCHILDREN.
I don't know. My ten year old nephew loved the book, although he couldn't explain why.
Lo Fr has he grown up into a manchild now?
Very cool.
I think the girls who like this shit like it for a different reason. The manchildren gave it credence as a kind of "Holy Grail" of nerd culture, and these 20-something West Coast millennials tacked on to it only because that nerd thing was in vogue a few years ago. I guess it is still mildly fashionable, but it's really all about having big lips and massive, furry eyebrows now. I mean I'm pretty sure I saw a singer the other day whose name was literally "Dual Lips" and I thought to myself, "Yep, that sums it up pretty nicely." Should have taken my dad's advice to become a plastic surgeon, and not a chef. Have you seen how much they can jack the price up on collagen? There's no way I can get that kind of price margin on shit like salmon or avocado. Consumers think they are too savvy these days. Not, mind you, that they *are* savvy, they just *think* they are savvy, so they'll turn their nose up at a good deal but then happily pay $20 for a piece of sushi from a Filipino guy pretending to be Japanese just because he figured out how to hide negative reviews on Google. Anyway, basically what I'm saying is Ready Player One is a piece of fucking garbage.
It is actually me
the picture of michael cera popping up always kills me
Mass production Evangelion not in movie, 0/10
Bill W. Wait is it in the book?
@@braveninja111 I don't necessarily if it was a mass production, but it was an Evangelion was in the book at least.
@@braveninja111 When they pick mecha after they win the jade key? There's a bunch of EVAs and the sixers get a hold of them, so they play bad guys.
MIkes ears are slowly becoming Vulcan, wtf
Mike seems to laugh a lot more when Rich is on
Because he can just tear into Rich
We all do
Indeimaus. When one of my favorite UA-camrs comments on my other favorite UA-camrs.
shhh that's because they are married
His laughter is infectious
i cannot get over how incredibly lazy it is to have the story be about some dude’s favourite things... it’s just an excuse for the writer to write about THEIR favourite things.
Well, they say "write what you know"...
John Davis yeah but nobody usually publishes lists of things otherwise my grocery list would be a best seller
@@asmrtpop2676 Maybe it will, if you list the things your audience wants to buy too. It's all about psychological manipulation.
Yeah there are NO CHALLENGES boring
Every writer knows that creating a character is all about self insertion.. (hopefully obvious sarcasm)
Love how Mike gets excited that Rich knows what NPC means
God damn the diabetes hit Jay hard
This book/movie isn't meant for tweens, teens, or functional adults. It's meant for the most stereotypical Man-Children/Woman-Children and lowest common denominator "geek culture" consumers. I'm amazed you guys have never mentioned this book on Nerd Crew. It was made for those type of people. Loot Crate literally included it in one of their packages. That's practically the only reason it got famous in the first place.
Secular Ascetic I'm assuming COLLIDER people love it
So it's poorly disguised corporate propaganda. Understood.
There's a reason the self-proclaimed god-emperor of geek-culture, Wil "Shut up, Wesley" Wheaton narrated it.
zooglesan Funny story, when somebody was telling me about this obnoxious shit book, he told me "You won't believe who they got to narrate the audiobook" or something, and I guessed Wil Wheaton on the first try. I guess it was a no-brainer, of course they get the most obnoxious shitlib basic bitch pop culture icon to narrate this obnoxious basic bitch pop culture reference pamphlet of a sci-fi book.
Someone's reaction to the trailer somehow ended up on my facebook feed, and it was of a slightly chubby Asian girl (my guess would be 3rd generation American of Korean descent) with glasses in a brightly colored room with posters of Mario and Bayonetta and some other shit. She was literally crying tears of joy when she spotted the Iron Giant. I thought to myself, "Just what in the fuck is going on here?"
I guess I'm technically the audience that this movie is made for (31 years old) since I understood all of the references. But I just kept thinking "does this stupid movie have anything but references?" And "how did they get all of these licenses? I kinda wish they had used all of that time and money to write a more interesting story line."
I'm 45 and I had a large smile on my face most of the time. I really loved it. I remember playing "Adventure" with my dad when he was much younger than I am now.
I didn't think about it too much, just enjoyed the show. And the fact where the AAA game makers don't care about their players hit home. I mean gaming since late 2000 has taken such a nosedive in creativity and quality, it's almost as bad as the early eighties. Almost. I was definitely part of the target audience.
@@Francois424 the book is completely different . If u r 45 it will hit u in a different way. By far my favorite book, absolutely love it.
I'm not going to say the book is the greatest thing ever but it was a decently fun read. The movie didn't really capture a lot of what made it interesting, the evil corporation felt more generic in this movie but in the book there were more real consequences like characters that had awful deaths.
When they mention Gary Coleman:
*instant Postal 2 flashbacks*

Of all the cyberpunk books to adapt into a movie, they went with the equivalent of the big bang theory
Best fucking description I've ever seen for that trash fire.
We had the mother of all cyberpunk movies (Blade Runner 2049) and it did terrible in the box office despite being a masterpiece. This is why we can't have nice things
zimbabwe
Pretty much.
Yeah, like Hollywood could adapt cyberpunk.
This was like a big budget version of one of those reference-filled parody movies. Remember Akira? Remember Iron Giant? Remember Back to the Future? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then just go watch those movies. They're better.
Just needs the awkward fart and an "AWWWWWWW Hell no!" to be Reference Movie.
Look up on UA-cam “Rejected Ready Player One theme” it’ll have a thumbnail of a black guy with a keyboard. I think you’ll appreciate it after reading your comment.
my thoughts exactly as I was watching it
"Your nose and lips are goin' places, kid!"
My sides
CaptainKronkers. Harvey Weinstein?
This whole video is just a reference to Mr. Burns wanting Steven Spielberg's Non-Union Mexican Equivalent.
'who's our audience?'
people who buy funko pops
I would never waste money on one of those things but I got a free one from being a Disney member.
I had to buy like 12 Disney movies to get the points for it though so the term “free” doesn’t really hold that much weight.
Are you a fan of the Super Best Friends? If not I recommend you watch the hour long excerpt from their podcast about Ready Player One.
do people really waste money on those stupid things?
So, is this the glorified version of "Spy Kids 3: Game Over" or not?
Was waiting the whole review for this. They mention a single obscure episode from Danny fucking Phantom but no Spy Kids 3? Damn hacks
Feat Ricardo Montelban from Star Trek, MIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU THE REFERENCE WAS RIGHT THERE
No that was Tron Legacy
Spy kids 3
Jumanji 2
Sword Art Online
Scooby Doo And The Cyber Chase
Danny Phantom season 1 episode 12 "Teacher of the Year"
Star Trek TNG season 1 episode 12 "The Big Goodbye"
Also I read this other shitty YA novel called "Insignia" which also had an Oasis sort of thing going on except it was a minor element of the world and the main plot was about space robot battles.
Do you think God hides away in Heaven because he's afraid of what movies we create?
I know everybody always talks about Jay's glow up, but has anyone ever noticed he randomly was at his peak hunkyness this episode and then resumed to his normal appearance the next video like nothing happened?
"this puzzle would have been solved the first day"
Meanwhile in 2021, "Street Fighter Alpha" for the snes a new cheat code was found unlocking Shin Akuma as a playable character 25 years after release.
"Danny's Phantom" ran from 2004 - 2007 so the series came first. Cline better lawyer up.
I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW THE IRON GIANT
Ratel.H Badger BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT!
it's weird Mike said he hates improv when he and Rich are brilliant at it, laughed so hard I had a coughing fit during that Spielberg/MPAA bit
24:20 is my favorite moment. Mike is so excited and happy to know this "gaming" terminology. SO KAWAII
