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 👍
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!
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
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
Another amazing video! What a treat! Thank you, especially for the footage of the grand canyon. I consistently hear that it's impossible to capture the experience of that properly on videos/photos.
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!
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!
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
So great to have this kind of video again. Well done, MJR! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, thank you so much for this video! I moved to Tempe in November and was super excited to see Zia since I live right down the road from it and consider it my local shop. I've been a little disappointed in the game selection though, so it was so nice to see other places that I need to check out. I was bummed moving here from San Diego but your enthusiasm for the game shops made me feel a little better about it.
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.
Yay for Game Hunting! Definitely my favorite type of retro content!
It’s so cool to see that you’re at all the retro stores that I go to!!
So happy to see my local stores on a MJR video! The fallout games with the Legos and 1UP games are my favorite! I'm glad you got to see what our great state has to offer!
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 😜
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!
This is a great video. Thank you for showcasing these amazing stores!
So happy to see you checked out 1up games in this video. Love going to that place for my games!
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.
I'm actually just about to move there next weekend! I made notes of all these places and can't wait to check them out!
The fact that you put together this video in a couple weeks is awesome dedication for the love of video games. Thank you for your content!
I heard about your visit before this upload from my 1up Games friend lol. Nice having you! Fallout, Gaming Zone and 1up Games all have super chill folks and its cool knowing you've blessed their welcome mats
these are my favorite type of videos from this channel. i love going on mini-vacations with metal jesus, and his wife!.
I live vicariously through MJR's traveling exploits.
More to come!
I love this content and your channel. Thank you so much for the time you put in to share your gaming experiences with us all
I really enjoy this channel. It’s such a feel good content. I’m a not a big collector or anything but I do appreciate the history and you sharing all your ventures.
Thanks MJR! Your content just brightens up my day.
Great seeing you catch up with Jason & Gamester81!!! Give us another All Gen podcast episode!!! Even if it’s only once a year 🙏
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.
Great Video! I spent lots of time at these stores hunting for games. Always a blast!
I watch your videos since 3 years, and I haven't seriously played games for over 15 years. But your positive & pleasant character are always a mini-vacation for me when watching your videos. Thank you so much!
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”.
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
Welcome back out to Phoenix! This weekend I’m going to have to check out some of the places you hit up. And yeah it’s beautiful waking up to these clear skies every day.
I’m from the white mountains in az and I’m glad you could make it over here. Glad you you’re back!
I live in Mesa. Sounds like you had a great time in our beautiful valley. Thanks for the review. Fallout games is on my to do list.
Amazing!! Been waiting for this, glad you are feeling better!
I am!
@@MetalJesusRocks great to hear, all the best to you and yours from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Awesome episode I live in Phoenix , I’ve been watching your video’s for a few years, and it was great to see you exploring my home town retro stores. I go to fallout games a lot , but I haven’t been to the other stores in your video. I will defiantly be checking them out in the future . Again awesome video , keep it up man. 🤘
I waited so long for this, thanks man! You are the best in game hunting :D
An awesome chill video to start my day, I love the vibe of this channel.
Same
Love watching your videos with my oldest kid, and pointing out all the stuff I played as a kid :)
Awesome video and awesome to see a tournament room I haven't seen one in a long time
Very good video! Enjoyed seeing all the different stores. Those lit up metal shelfs you saw in one of the stores, which you said would look cool in a game room was kinda fun to hear you say. Because Retro Rick actually do have 2 of those nintendo shelfs in their game room :D
Pick ups videos are a must when I’m driving for an over an hour on the road or sometimes at the gym
@Nonya BiZz LOL I said when I drive for an hour OR at the gym. Unfortunately my commute to work and to pick up my son takes an hour 😒
Been shopping at the Gaming Zone since they first opened. So happy to see them featured by you!
Great video dude, I love visiting retro Game stores. Phoenix does look great!
I live in Phoenix, and thanks to your video, now I am interested in retro game stores and will visit these locations.
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!
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!
My hometown, 1up and fallout were my go to stores! Awesome episode!!
Great video Jason! Another monster editing project that doesn't disappoint!
Always love a good game hunting video! :D
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”
Heck yea, that's my local Fallout Games on Tatum & Thunderbird.
They've always been so good to me over the years, I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit!
Also, you came during a pretty good time of year when it starts to warm up, but isn't even close to oven mitts hot yet.
I love that pool at the Biltmore! It’s the perfect size for my toddlers. Glad you enjoyed your trip to AZ!
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
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?
Keeping up wit your channel has helped me expand my collection, keep up the great content
I have lived in Phoenix for almost 20 years and never heard of these places, except Bookmans and Zia records (have spent HOURS looking at the games, books and music sections, in both places). Thanks for showing me my new hang out spots!
I live in that State. Hope it wasn't too hot for ya.
Same
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. 😎
@@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.
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 :(
Love the vid man! The crystal scene in Sedona is on point too lol
Great stuff and cool to see this all on your trip. That Off-road cabinet at 1up games, been playing that back in the day at the arcade. Interesting Atari Jaguar kiosk at fallout games, never seen that version. The Gaming Zone having that arcade / tournament room is a great addition to the store.
Its funny you mentioned seeing yourself moving down there some day - that’s exactly what my cousin did after living in Olympia for many years.
I do get tired of the grey/cold Seattle weather... so you never know 😉
Everyone is moving here! Blue skies, our winters are perfect, and we have tons of retro game shops. What else do you need?!
@@MetalJesusRocks you wouldn't be the first - there's already a TON of PNW people in Phoenix and that number is going up exponentially. Housing costs have obviously gotten nuts in PNW so people are selling their homes for big amounts and then coming here and buying cash because it's cheaper here (though that's changing quickly).
i live in new mexico and every time a relative comes they talk about the blue skies all the time.
Hey your intro song is incredible. I cant believe I missed this video. Keep up the good work
Glad to see you back man hope all is well
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've never seen that one before! I will have to look for a copy now. Looks awesome!
*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 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!
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.
Soon as you popped up in a store. Social media was going nuts
Wow Arizona looks beautiful. Hello from Australia!
From where ??
@@markymarc1 haha! Whoops! And the magic of editing...
Love the video. Nice to see the mom&pop game stores and they are still thriving 😊😊
Thx for coming out to Phx again!! Glad you had fun. MJR !!!!
I thought you and Jason were bowing to each other in the thumb nail lol. It is great to have to bad MJR.
"You have that kind of friendship" Eternally 14 years old together :)
You know it! 😎
OMG! I love Zia Records! I'm glad you had a chance to experience this franchise!
Moved from Phoenix, to Seattle, watched this for Zia records! Glad you got to go! I went there REGULARLY!!!
I guessed it would be a 45 minute video.. I was close Lol. Welcome back! I love seeing all of the retro merch.
Nothing better than a new MJR video uploaded! Rock on Man!!!
Thanks for the episode, I loved every second if it.
I live in Phoenix, ran into you during Game On Expo. Hope to see you next year when its hosted and back again!
It's SUPER smart they're playing your pick-up videos for any game store. Expert recommendations on what to grab!
7:45 “it is amazing to hook up with him again”
Metaljesusrocks-2021
“It was nice to hook up with a guy again”
Looks like an awesome trip man. Thanks for sharing!
How cool to see you went to all the stores I've hunted at in Phx! I live near the first Fallout games you went to in the video! I love that Bookman's you went to and agree that it can be hit or miss depending on the day. I recommend Desert Sky Games too whenever you return in Chandler area. They have a nice selection of games there too!
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
Nice car! Also... Arizona looks nice! Wanna visit sometime.
It's all subjective. I lived in Tempe/Mesa for only 4 months to take some classes, and I hated every minute of it. I was so happy to see Arizona in the rear-view mirror. 😂
In my opinion this is the best channel on CZcams. It has everyhing that i love.
Everyday i watch your videos! I almost watched them all! when i finish i will go for Newgame+ and watch it again and again because is so fun :)
Great travelling and game hunting! It is always nice to see new places!
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.
Jason, love your videos but your hurting my bank account with all these picks up I have to keep doing haha
😂
Cool to see a video from you in my neck of the woods (so to speak). I've been living in the Phoenix area for more than 30 years.
This is fun because I'm from Phoenix and just got back from Seattle (where it was absolutely beautiful the whole week) where I shopped at Pink Gorilla.😁 I haven't shopped our own stores for awhile. Thanks for the video!
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. 👍
Friday Mornings with MJR are the best!!!
Agreed!!
Nice! I have been waiting for a new game hunting video!
Phoenix is beautiful! Hope you had a lot of fun!
