“I dunno, is that canon” great line lol

[@discoron77]

The part where James shows Pat the NWC cart and it's still intact, what video is that from?

[@kimbach1824]

@@discoron77 It isnt in any video (at least what I know and I watched pretty much every avgn episode). Thats the reason for the "is that canon" line. :)

[@PatTheNESpunk]

It is from the Bayou Billy/Punisher crossover from 2014.

by epic, you mean ill-advised?

JRS probably, but also AWESOME

Canon? Combat?

[@jamesl.anderson1384]

Knock it off

[@DeathToTheDictators]

HAHA The Punk and Nerd characters are great together, i wish this was a regular show.

[@Benjamin0119]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! This was hilarious! :D Felt just like a classic Pat/AVGN episode. :D Books look good! Hopefully I can pick them up some day!

“Are you flashing back?!” 😂 I loved that

[@KIDDVIDD]

The animation on Major Combat was phenomenal. They did an amazing job.

[@MSorge13]

KIDDVIDD Totally agreed!

[@mrbacchus6127]

Especially when he was walking back and forth like Patton

[@sonixthatsme]

The voice acting too.

[@JohnyTheWizKid]

Yeah, I actually like this one compared to the modern Nerd episodes. This had effort and better plot.

[@JayDecayAE]

Yoshi Vu did it. He's fantastic, done work on The Mandalorian, Rise of Skywalker, Walking Dead, Scream Queens, American Horror Story, and has done work for James on the music video for Eye of the Tiger handhelds

[@Metal-Possum]

"The 32X games are changing but that might be an improvement".

[@BlueflagAlpha]

Wise decision

[@josean6287]

I laughed so hard on that one

[@chrisbeach423]

Im debating on buying the snes book, does it have reviews on japan exclusive famicon games? And pal released games that never came to America like terranigma?? Btw whats the rating for terranigma? That may depend on if i buy or not (:

[@PatTheNESpunk]

All SNES European games are covered in full, while about 69 Super Famicom games are spotlighted in a special section.

[@THE_VictoryPictures]

I consider this a cannon AVGN episode. Canon, Combat.

[@hectorrojas8019]

"Looks like the ultimate Warrior's symbol" LMAO! My fav KZbin duo. TY Pat/James

[@ItsRetroPlanet]

this is easily the best NESPunk/AVGN video all year. it was really really funny, i laughed a lot, and it seems like James and Pat genuinely both had a really great time making it. why can't we get more AVGN or PUNK like this? it was really enjoyable, and felt like a classic episode.

[@bloodteller9419]

this was great! it felt like a classic AVGN/Pat episode, and it seems like you both really had a lot of fun making it and it was a really funny episode (also those outtakes at the end were hilarious) :D

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Thanks. We had a good time making this.

[@ObiTrev]

Hey Pat, Can I get *The Ultimate Nintendo Guide To The SNES Library* on a Game Boy cart so I can read on the go? Thanks

[@FIXTREME]

I'd like a copy on a granite slab like the 10 Commandments

[@PatTheNESpunk]

It weighs as much as a slab.

[@HerrBjork]

That'd be an extremely cool version. If you can fit the Bible on a cart I don't see why you can't fit another bible on one. Mostly in text form of course

[@ObiTrev]

The Gameboy can actually display some pretty impressive graphics. And since they're already sprites and backgrounds it should scale. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6rZc4Ger9ibgbM

[@angrybionicle]

This may just be my favorite video you ever uploaded Pat, stellar job to everyone who was involved in the production of this

[@Retrosys]

This was pretty great! Glad to finally see you two team up again for a vid!

[@lelabotoxique]

OMG. Contri. Rolfe. Old school AVGN vibe. Thank you, guys. That was truly awesome!

[@CodeNameArizona]

You weren't lying about the special fx for the video, Pat! Awesome video!

[@HowToX]

I believe the term "tank controls" originated with this game.

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Combat actually doesn't have "tank controls." :o

[@WatcherXP]

Probably originated with tanks

[@elimalinsky7069]

Originated with "Tank", a coin-op from 1974, which is the precursor to Combat (and many other similar games).

[@jf5-mars334]

You know what's make my day ? opening up my computer and seeing pat and james playing combat , AWESOME ! i love it , thanks guys

[@FyreJams]

Love the smile James gives right before he almost breaks character

[@Musicradio77Network]

“Combat” is one of my personal favorite and it became an instant classic for the Atari 2600 as a inaugural title in 1977 that came with the console itself. The other two are “Air/Sea Battle” and “Star Ship” are the earlier titles. It was also released on the Sears Telegames Video Arcade console which was a licensed Atari 2600, and the title was changed to “Tank Plus” for the Sears Telegames release and it’s the same exact game.

[@AFchris77]

Loved those, air sea battle was great.

[@5alpha23]

I'm so stumped! How in the world did you edit the combat man? It looks SO real! I'm serious, I have NO idea how you did this! This could be the single best effect I've seen on KZbin! I don't know why I'm freaking out about this but man! This looks just perfect!

[@jessehilton1337]

“My fucking Frogger!” -AVGN

[@Luna-Fox]

The best Nerd & Pat crossover, the writing and pacing was funny as hell, so glad you two keep making goofy videos every now and then

[@leefischer5814]

Wow, the only thing better than seeing these 2 play off each other is both of them saying humerus lines and seeing in their faces the struggle of not laughing😁👍

I used to love playing Combat on my Atari 2600 when I was a kid. I just didn't know any better. Great episode, James and Pat; you two work so well together. I especially love the CG 'Major Combat' LOL

[@strain42]

The biplane part looked like two lobsters battling to the death...which was about as accurate as what was actually happening. Anyway, I just wanted to say this was a really great episode from both of us. It's always wonderful seeing a wacky look at a retro title like this.

[@volvoguy804]
