We had a BLAST! Thanks for inviting me MJR, I wish you lived closer, I agree we would be game hunting and playing racing games every day LOL! The video turned out great, let’s do this again sooner than later!
This video makes me so happy as a day 1 AGG fan! So cool to see the 2 Jason's together. It would be so cool if you guys ever do a AGG throwback video/ podcast with all of the AGG crew. Thankyou guys you made my day!
Yeah, you definitely gave off that vibe in the video bro. Sedona looked beautiful. I could see myself living there as well. Glad you had fun and I hope the Mrs. did as well. 🤘
Dude! Jason, they had just got through watching my pickups video when I visited there. I remember how shocked the clerk was when I walked in and he told me.
Hah! I was just thinking of going on one of your latest videos to tip you off that MJR made a Phoenix video, yet here you are in the comments already! I'd love to see a collaboration someday. 👍
So how is that I have been wanting to try it out for a long time but I always got a feeling that it would disappoint and it would be to time consuming to actually create something worth it. So what are your thoughts?
It was pretty toasty, but you guys have AC everywhere...something we don't have (or need) in Seattle. Plus it really was a nice change, so I ain't complaining. 😎
Your game hunting and Japan travel videos are my favorite content that you have put out. I of course love seeing all the game stores, but I especially love all the in-between things like local culture. Gives me a little taste of traveling when I can't at the moment. Would love to keep seeing more of these!
I am so glad you enjoyed your trip to my home state of Arizona! Really happy you loved my local Fallout Games store! Was so excited to see you feature it. Thank you.
Just imagine yourself visiting a store to make some game pick-ups and then you end up watching yourself in a video you made about game pick-ups. Only Reggie was missing to complete the full circle. Quite surreal indeed!
Glad to see my area get some love. I’ve been a longtime customer at Zia, Fallout, and Bookman’s. And I just discovered 1Up Games as well as Desert Sky Games. Phoenix has a pretty cool gaming scene. Glad to see that you were able to get some great finds.
14:50 "a little bit smaller" he says... That store is still double the size of the ONLY gaming store I have around in my area. And that is (of course) a Gamestop... I think I never have been to a gaming store that big in my 30+ years of collecting :(
@@XDWX there is a fallout games in tempe, a store called gamesmash in avondale( their selection is overpriced in my opinion), and desert sky games in chandler(probably has the best arcade in az).
I’m glad you had such a good time in Phoenix. Most people have this idea that it’s just a dusty hicktown. As a California transplant, it’s good to see people realize it’s a bustling city, filled with great food and pretty much anything you could want in a major metropolitan area,surrounded by tons of natural beauty.
METAL JESUS love these videos. I think you were off for a couple weeks? You're my friday and/or Saturday morning coffee you always make my weekends brother. Keep up the great work!
So your wife is going to a real estate conference and you get to go Game hunting? You're the relationship MASTER!!! We're not WORTHY! We're not WORTHY! 😄
Dang I go to fallout all the time wish I could of seen you. 👌 awesome video. Oh and for people that live in the area I visit a few stores in a row thats pretty convenient depending on where you live. The order I go in is (the gaming zone Tempe ),(fallout with legos),(1up),and then another (the gaming zone) it’s pretty good they are like 15-20 minutes apart. That’s how I get a lot of my games
I just wanted to let you know I was suspended from facbook group metal jesus rocks! For posting a very mild question about people stereotyping gamers. Every 31 comments were positive. And know response from administration...maybe re think that !?
I agree that the Phoenix area is beautiful, because I don't live there either. I usually go out that way for concerts- a few good friends of mine live there- and every time I land at the Phoenix airport my breath is taken away. Even just the view from the sky landing is amazing, but next time I'm out there I'll steal one of my friend's cars and go game hunting!
24:33 well if you have no idea what RPG maker is make sure you wanna go down that rabbit hole. It is its own ecosystems/Universe of hidden gems and hot garbage alike. Fantasic Tool, but you can spend an entire life dealing with it...
Just wondering if that Sega kiosk, featuring Sonic The Hedgehog artwork, depicts a blue-armed Sonic, or a tan-armed Sonic. Asking for a super autistic straight trans lesbian.
You shud do a video on how you actively fill gaps in your collection. It’s fun to see new retail places, but when you know you want something ahead of time, where / how do you find it??? On the east cost, ebae is usually the best opton
Arizona? I would've stopped by Maynard James Keenan's shop in Jerome. The Puscifer shop. Not too sure how it is now since the pandemic but it normally has a barber, a vinyl section, merch section and you can buy the wine too. His wine of course. And he had a restaurant too but don't think it's open anymore. I might be wrong. But I'm a huge Tool fan so I'd love to visit Arizona and even try to find a way to talk to natives and learn their history.
I'd forgotten about "Tail of the Sun", that game absolutely consumed me for weeks back in the day. That was just before you could hop on the internet to figure out what was going on in a weird game.
I would of laughed if I saw my hubs in your video. He works in Fallout. Nice to see you stop by and hope you come back for another around of game hunting!
To be honest I wanna know more about that gorgeous blue Dodge Challenger you got over there. It is a ride so sweet I doubt you got that at random and didn't know about it. You are obviously a car person, and I really wanna hear more about your car obsession and your dream cars. What cars do own, and what is your dream garage etc. Can you please do a video about that???
That's not a bad idea honestly. You're right, I AM a car guy and actually spend probably just as much time watching other car UA-cam channels that I do video game and music stuff. I've actually got a pretty cool collection of 1/18 and 1/24 scale die cast collectables too. Might make a fun video at some point. 👍
@@MetalJesusRocks Thank you so much for the reply. I love your work, and looking forward to that video. ;) It would have been also cool to see more of your trip to Phoenix. It was so good to see that footage of you driving around these beautiful places. Maybe you can do a separate extended video on that, and also include your future trips in this new format. :) All the best.
Next time you are here in Phoenix you should check out castles and coasters, it has an amazing arcade with pretty much every retro arcade game you could want. And the amusement park it's in is not too bad either.
i've seen your videos being played in my local game store here in Denmark as well ;) btw will you be making a xbox one buying guide at some point? and awesome video finally in 4k!
Bro shout out to 1up games one of my favorite gaming stores in Mesa az and the owner it’s super cool I’m let’s just say I’m one of his clients great store
Always love the shout out to Phoenix, AZ! Happy you were able to visit one of the 7 wonders of the world as well 🙃 Thanks for featuring The Gaming Zone, love that place!
So weird to recognize everywhere you're going. Lived in AZ most my life until I finally moved to Oregon 4-5 years ago heh. Didn't realize such a retro gaming community had sprouted down there. Gonna have to check it out next time I'm back there visiting the family. Glad you got to see Sedona, love hiking up there. Definitely one place I do miss.
I really love these kinds of videos. Please keep making them as long as you can! Really reminds me of LGR when he's thrifting and those are just amazing too.
I used to live in Arizona. Hated it, but after I moved away I realized it was kinda nice. Summers are way brutal though. That’s basically your winter. Another awesome video dude!
Hey MJR, great video. I really liked the chapters, it's a neat touch. My big question is, what is your shades? They look good and I'm in the market for a new pair! Cheers
The weather's great down here until it hits 117 degrees in summer (not an exaggeration) and then stays there for six months :) But yeah, I'm fairly new to the area myself (a couple years) and haven't been to some of these places yet, so thanks for this! Also, nice rental car :) I love my Challenger.
We had a BLAST! Thanks for inviting me MJR, I wish you lived closer, I agree we would be game hunting and playing racing games every day LOL! The video turned out great, let’s do this again sooner than later!
Spice Girls & George Michael 4Ever! 😂
You guys need a show Jason to Jason! 😄
@@xROCKLOBSTUHx lol yeeeess I agree completely! That’s a good name too “The Jason & Jason Show” haha!
This video makes me so happy as a day 1 AGG fan! So cool to see the 2 Jason's together. It would be so cool if you guys ever do a AGG throwback video/ podcast with all of the AGG crew. Thankyou guys you made my day!
Sent you a subscription 👍
As an Arizonan, saying the Phoenix area is "Beautiful" is very generous of you. Hahahaha
Lol come to Casa Grande.
@@WiiRPHYSICAL 😂😂😂😂
More beautiful is east phoenix lol
Been here for 27 years and yes, extremely generous
You must live in the “west valley”.
Man you sound so excited. I love Arizona.
We miss you here in AZ too Reggie. Cant wait to see you guys again hopefully next Game On Expo
🙏
Bro seeing you walk through all the stores I hunt on a weekly basis was surreal. Rock on!
MJR, goes outside Seattle. Sees himself and Pink Gorilla. 🥺
Not gonna lie, it was pretty surreal 😂
Yeah, you definitely gave off that vibe in the video bro. Sedona looked beautiful. I could see myself living there as well. Glad you had fun and I hope the Mrs. did as well. 🤘
@@MetalJesusRocks small world!
Very small world. I suspect that pink gorilla game was bought from eBay and then traded in... could be wrong though
@@MetalJesusRocks bro youll know youve made it if you walk into a shop in japan and theyre playing one of your videos
This makes me want to start going on trips and exploring stores for games and anime stuff.
Go for it, its so damn fun bring some friends cause seeing them light up seeing their childhood again makes it even more worth it
That's probably one of the coolest stories I've heard in awhile. You've definitely made your mark in the world of gaming culture
Same
"mark in the world of gaming culture" TRUE!!!
Must not get out often.
I'd stay home for everyone's safety
@@maxque2841 attention seeking kids award for you
It's SUPER smart they're playing your pick-up videos for any game store. Expert recommendations on what to grab!
Dude! Jason, they had just got through watching my pickups video when I visited there. I remember how shocked the clerk was when I walked in and he told me.
Next time you're in Phoenix hit me up 🙂
The greatest collab ever 🔥
Haha I watch your stuff to see what’s changing down there, moved in ‘16 to Seattle. Such the irony tonight. Great stuff man!!
@@allenslucher8555 Thank you 😁
Hah! I was just thinking of going on one of your latest videos to tip you off that MJR made a Phoenix video, yet here you are in the comments already! I'd love to see a collaboration someday. 👍
Yay for Game Hunting! Definitely my favorite type of retro content!
Oh they have been doing rpg maker since the PS2! It’s a long running series! The newest one is available on switch/PS4/pc!
I think there was one for the PS1 too.
@@gri3720 Yup. The first PS1 one was brought to the US, but the second wasn't.
The PC version is regularly available in Humble Bundle at a great discount, if anyone wants to try it.
I've used it on Windows from time to time, very niche but very potential!
So how is that I have been wanting to try it out for a long time but I always got a feeling that it would disappoint and it would be to time consuming to actually create something worth it. So what are your thoughts?
I live in that State. Hope it wasn't too hot for ya.

@@MetalJesusRocks rock on.
@@MetalJesusRocks Yeah... it can get very toasty and it’s only gonna get more toasty as the summer rolls in.
@@CRAZYGREGFILMS weather was really good this morning. The triple degree weather is almost here. Gotta stuck up on sunscreen.
Ah yes, Reggie recommended Trapt very recently when we thought the PS3 store was closing, it’s 9.99 there!
Ayy, you helped me get a ps5, Thanks Jake!
Bro this is completely irrelevant but I ate some spicy noodles and omg my mouth hurts
If you like Trapt, check out the other Tecmo Deception games! 1 and 2 are ok, but the rest are awesome!
The only Trapt I know is the rock band best known for the song “Headstrong” in 2002.
Your game hunting and Japan travel videos are my favorite content that you have put out. I of course love seeing all the game stores, but I especially love all the in-between things like local culture. Gives me a little taste of traveling when I can't at the moment.

Someone should make a survival horror game that takes place in the Gran Canyon
I am so glad you enjoyed your trip to my home state of Arizona! Really happy you loved my local Fallout Games store! Was so excited to see you feature it. Thank you.
Wow Arizona looks beautiful. Hello from Australia!
From where ??
@@markymarc1 haha! Whoops! And the magic of editing...
If I were Metal Jesus, every time I entered a game store I would proclaim, "I HAVE RETURNED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROPHECY"
😂
You forgot to add at the end. “IT IS I METAL JESUS AND THE HAIR WIG”
Just imagine yourself visiting a store to make some game pick-ups and then you end up watching yourself in a video you made about game pick-ups. Only Reggie was missing to complete the full circle. Quite surreal indeed!
Glad to see my area get some love. I’ve been a longtime customer at Zia, Fallout, and Bookman’s. And I just discovered 1Up Games as well as Desert Sky Games. Phoenix has a pretty cool gaming scene. Glad to see that you were able to get some great finds.
Was passing through Phoenix in January stopped at Fallout, great store! I'll have to check the others next time
1up generally has lower stock but im within walking distance. Gaming zone def the best place around imo, check both locations out
Pictures and videos of the Grand Canyon really doesn't do it justice. My brother proposed to his now wife there.
Dude seeing you and Jason together again was so worth the wait and you could say it was like 2 became 1! 👍🏻
Agreed!! I miss that crazy dude 😜
these are my favorite type of videos from this channel. i love going on mini-vacations with metal jesus, and his wife!.
Dang out in my area. I'm 1.5 hours south west of grand canyon(middle of nowhere) I love it. Never going back to IL. Rock on Metal Jesus!
14:50 "a little bit smaller" he says...
That store is still double the size of the ONLY gaming store I have around in my area.
And that is (of course) a Gamestop...
I think I never have been to a gaming store that big in my 30+ years of collecting :(
I live vicariously through MJR's traveling exploits.
More to come!
Love watching your videos with my oldest kid, and pointing out all the stuff I played as a kid :)
Jason, love your videos but your hurting my bank account with all these picks up I have to keep doing haha
😂
Great seeing you catch up with Jason & Gamester81!!! Give us another All Gen podcast episode!!! Even if it’s only once a year 🙏
*Dude, Arizona has a shitload of retro game stores, if you're still here I can take you to all of them.*
Really. Can you name some for me? I only know the Gaming Zone in Tempe.
@@XDWX there is a fallout games in tempe, a store called gamesmash in avondale( their selection is overpriced in my opinion), and desert sky games in chandler(probably has the best arcade in az).
@@nicholasratto7754 cool thanks!
@@XDWX *I stay in Tempe, too. There's Zia Records, The Gaming Zone, Fallout Games, 1-Up Games.*
You guys been to the arcade bar in Gilbert? Level One. It's near Gilbert rd, tucked in behind some restaurants.
I love this kind of videos, they remind me of the first "I Hate You" episodes and road trips, so glad that Jason Heine was back! Awesome hunting men
Always love a good game hunting video! :D
I’m glad you had such a good time in Phoenix. Most people have this idea that it’s just a dusty hicktown.

God I am so jealous of Phoenix right now.
This genuinely put a smile on my face, it’s nice to hear someone not calling Phoenix and complete shithole
Soon as you popped up in a store. Social media was going nuts
An awesome chill video to start my day, I love the vibe of this channel.

WHAT metal jesus in my are and doesnt even say hi.....much dissapoint.
Amazing!! Been waiting for this, glad you are feeling better!
I am!

7:45 “it is amazing to hook up with him again”

“It was nice to hook up with a guy again”
I thought you and Jason were bowing to each other in the thumb nail lol. It is great to have to bad MJR.
Grand Canyon is truly something. Those who haven't been really need to, it's stunning.
I wasn’t that impressed but I’m from Arizona trees impress me lol
man i miss AGG! you guys were too ahead of your time with that podcast, now podcasts are HUGE lol
I know, right! So many great memories on that podcast.
@@MetalJesusRocks i still laugh thinking of the "STOP! this is not a dvd" guy haha rip
Don Pachi is my fav and so is Sedona. Arizona State alum FTW! We'd head to Sedona in the summer to escape the heat from Tempe on our way to Flagstaff.

Really fun Episode... awesome game stores in Arizona.. 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it
Glad to see physical game stores alive and well. I don't think they're going anywhere.
If the combination of this pandemic and widespread availability of digital distribution could not kill physical retail stores, I doubt anything can.
