$100 Challenge at Portland Retro Gaming Expo + PICKUPS!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

CLARIFICATION: In the end we decided to not include the Wii Bag cost in my final total because I didn’t include any of the games in the challenge. That said who do YOU think had the better pickups at Portland Retro Gaming Expo?

[@alex64gaming]

You got some killer taste in games, so I’m gonna go with yours dude

[@patrickmilli6323]

Your pickups are awesome

[@Frank-x1g]

Both of you guys got some cool items.

[@ajzammuto1937]

I think I agree with your choice that Paul had the better experience. He bought things that were nostalgic for him and he met the artist of his wife’s favorite game. I think experiences like that at cons are the pinnacle and the best reason to go to a con. All the nods to the MJR crew in this video were great too. My only question is what else was in your Xbox 360 bag? Great video. I miss going to cons. Thank you and keep up all of your vlog videos.

[@joshe272]

did i miss it? what games were in the wii bags!?! WHATS IN THE BOX?! edit: oops nm, i see them

[@jimwright4163]

The Kelsey bit was hilarious 😂

[@JohnRiggs]

Always cool to see DMP in your videos. And always fun to see both at conventions.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

And you made a small appearance in the video too! Next time, we'll have to get you in on this challenge. 👍

[@branscombe_]

hi MJR, thanks for taking us along with you. I live now in a small city in eastern Canada and we don’t have these type of conventions so I love coming with you along for the ride on youtube. thanks again, JB

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks for watching

[@TheVideoGameMan]

The Burnout Series needs to be remade, they are among the best arcade racers ever made. I still play most of them today with Takedown and Revenge being my favourites.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

We were playing Burnout Revenge last night! Still a GREAT game!

[@TheVideoGameMan]

@@MetalJesusRocks Revenge is probably the best in the series, some would say it is Takedown.

[@ajzammuto1937]

I totally agree. Crash mode is the best. Why they ever took that out I’ll never understand.

[@Crcvmbdfl]

Agreed

[@ntmetroid]

Or even just a new one in the vein or Revenge or Paradise. They were so good.

[@fezwhy]

I love this segment. Keeping it real for us folks that are on a limited budget. Proof that you can get some great games on a budget

[@angryadam1738]

DMP definitely killed it

[@bcj842]

Yeah he got some deep cuts.

[@dogmd7]

So happy to see DMP back on the channel! More DMP, Gamer Eats, and I Hate U too please!!

[@leemires5315]

​@@MetalJesusRocksDoes he have his own channel? I'd be into seeing what he collects for little money.

[@DrunkenMasterPaul]

The sad reality is that I am not really a game collector @@leemires5315 so the stuff I do buy usually winds up in the MJR Cave Of Wonders. I do have my own, admittedly neglected, channel that has mostly cocktails and building stuff. Check it out!

Glad you like them!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I'm so glad!

"He knows games like the back of my sister's head". A lot to unpack here.

Especially when you consider Paul doesn't have a sister! LOL The dude is so random sometimes. 😂

One of the most professional youtubers. Must be real fun going to the expo. Here in Norway we don't have any game-shops, most shopping must happen digitally. Keep on grinding, Jason and Paul!

Thanks! 😃

Lolol I had never heard that before

[@warrendesenberg]

It was cool to see Kelsey! Love the bargain/find the best game challenges!

[@acecarrera1]

Good to know not only Paul is drunken, he's also a cheapskate.Anyways, would love to see Bioshock in VR, imagine strolling around the city of Columbia or better yet, Rapture.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

That would be amazing in VR!

[@JordanCassady]

You can play the PC version in VR

[@IRWPD]

This was so much fun to watch. All so, the 3D printed SNES cart is really cool.

[@jeffbandy7065]

I always enjoy your videos so much, they continue to educate me on games. I had no idea about Rocksmith and as fate would have it, my 14 y/o son wanted an Electric Guitar for Christmas which I already bought. Guess what cool accessory I also just bought....yep Rocksmith WITH the cable! Side note, I love how you and Paul interact and have remained such good friends for so long. Its a testament to have lifelong friends that enjoy one another's company! Appreciate you guys and the videos you post!

[@climbon321]

Rocksmith is great! I've used it for bass guitar on and off over the years.

[@UltraMuffin]

I could watch this all day. I forgot how fun these types of videos are.

[@TheDumontShow]

Once again, excellent video. I wish we had exposed like that on Jersey and the 5 boroughs. Paul had the most interesting pickup but you had the most playable pickup and quite the steal with 10 dollar game bags.

[@JakeM-dd2tw]

I live in Manchester, England and PRGE is on my bucket list, more so every year 👌

[@thomasstodghilliv]

PRGE was a ton of fun! This was my first year going, and I got to meet the Metal Jesus. It was great meeting you!

[@actionvestadventure]

Same here, well meeting MJR. I recognized the voice before i saw the man... despite how tall he is heh.

[@graham108]

Great video, I really enjoyed watching you guys go head to head on this challenge. Sorry MJR but DMP won this round, his finds were just that bit more weird and obscure...more appealing to the collector side of me...good show guys 🥳

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@volvoguy804]

Great find on that Rocky Horror Show! I recently gave up on Chrono Trigger. I can't get through all the phases of the final boss. Awesome game though!

[@MikeZablo]

Always good to see DMP in MJR videos ‼️

[@kotkaconforza]

Money is funny. Sometimes a strict budget can provide wonders. Sometimes a thick wad of cash seems to disappear with very little to show for it.

[@silverian]

Paul's comment "whoever was this" made me LOL 🙂Nice challenge with Paul!

[@JamieLikesGames]

"He knows games like the back of my sisters head" I'm sorry? 😂

I haven't seen yall in forever and I had a smile from ear to ear. Thank you Metal Jesus, and DMP you are the man!

wtf did I just hear DMP say? 😆 "Who know's video games like the back of my sisters head" 🤣

[@tomason86]

I usually put KZbin videos in the background while doing other stuff, but this one kept my eyes glued to the screen, it was so entertaining. Plus i love The Rocky Horror Picture Show but didnt know there is a game!

[@GuestZer0]

Reminds me of your $5 challenges… anybody remember those?

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I should make more of those huh? Get Kelsey involved too. That would be fun!

"That would work but he can't read" really got me lmao'ing.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

He knows me well 😜

[@GAMECLOSET]

Anytime DMP is involved, I’m in! He makes me laugh (and that’s not easy). * Side Note: My younger son LOVES Dragster. So, a few years ago (when he was about 12) I made this really cool framed Dragster shadowbox for him with a complete Dragster in Box, the Activision Dragster patch, and another loose cart. They were all mounted vertically in this long frame. He loved it. The following year I made him one just like it with Kaboom! The funny thing is… I can’t play Dragster to save my life! As a matter of fact, I despise that game because I suck at it hahaha! But he likes it and that’s what matters. Thanks for the fun video, gentlemen!

[@TheMultiGunMan]

This is a very fun video!

[@The--Dude]

I have the floppy C64 Rocky Horror Show, but that is sweet. Those holographic moving pictures of Ghost and Goblins is cool too.

[@Korncakes1]

The concept of this video is super dope. All of the finds were fantastic, Paul grabbing obscure shit and MJ’s collectible finds were sick. I would love to see more of these challenges when you go to expos. Also “Metal Jesus knows games better than the back of my sister’s head” had me dying. I had to pause and rewind at that one.

[@rustysmittyful]

Hey Gabbo! Also I love when DMP is involved in any shenanigans 😂

[@DanielSanchez-ke5dp]

"He knows video games like the back of my sisters head"☠️

[@IanSane]

A big part of gaming expos that I like is comparing my haul to my friends' as I'm curious to what everyone was looking for and found. In that sense, I would pick Paul as the winner here. The only part of Metal Jesus' haul that is interesting are the collectables since the games are all very common, and I don't even bother with collectables at expos. Paul on the other hand has a truly unique pick-up with the Rocky Horror Picture Show and his collectable is really cool because it's a personal gift for his wife. His haul seems less like something for a contest and more what a typical attendee would just get.

[@DrunkenMasterPaul]

Since I am not allowed to Trick or Treat and trade with my friends anymore due to the Noodle Incident, this is the next best thing

[@ZEROCOOLLTV]

I know its hard to put out quality videos, but I love your vids. we are close to the same age, and I pull up to my pc with a glass of wine and watch your vids and have so many memories. thank you for keep putting this vids out all these years. Rocky Horror game wins by a long shot, I never knew it existed.

I missed PRGE last year because of my jaw surgery, so it had been a couple years for me too. It was great to be back!
