Bumbait 2023 // Regulation Gameplay

[@huntervanhise]

That feeling you’re feeling Geoff is what they call nostalgia. I miss the 2012 days when I’d wait until Friday after school to watch the Minecraft let’s plays!

[@jmikstudios8626]

That was truly peak❤

[@CyanAnn]

more like melancholy

[@brianeckstein6081]

Not gonna lie I also miss the let's play Minecraft videos as well

[@ScribeLur]

Bittersweet

[@CanidSeven]

Yeah same. I remember coming home from elementary and 6th grade, sitting at my grandparents' computer with microwave Mac n cheese and watching the newest Fails of the Weak or HORSE.

[@RekttalofBlades]

Must be absolutely wild just hopping on MCC on a random day and loading into a lobby with Geoff and Gavin outta nowhere

[@CMDRJoshua]

Never stop and never change lads please. This type of videos will always hold a special place in a lot of our hearts! Thanks for doing this. 😊

[@MattMcConaha]

I'm sure it must've been easier to do back when people were excited about the brand new assassination mechanic.

[@htweelz]

That's what I was thinking also. I bet you most people don't know or don't remember about assassinations.

[@cerjmedia]

players also are just a lot sweatier now-a-days, they don't have time to be doing fun stuff, they have to be top of the leaderboard so they can show off to their 2 stream viewers and post it to their 19 followers on social media

[@blindfire3167]

@@cerjmedia That rarely happens....people who complain about people sweating are just angry about SBMM and going against people at their skill level or slightly better lol. Like I get it, sometimes you just want to be out there and topping the leaderboard for a game going against peasants believing you're a God...but there are people who are better than you and they don't take the game seriously lol. If you went against Shroud in any game, you'd complain he's "Sweating" or "Try harding" but watch his stream and he's just calm and more worried about reading chat lol.

[@cerjmedia]

​@@blindfire3167 yeah that's fair, though it is worth mentioning that Halo Reach has been out for 13 years now, and the majority of people playing MCC in 2023/24 are people who have been playing for years. Halo MCC is most certainly not pulling in 10s of thousands of new players like it used to. Sure there's still a lot of nostalgic players or even some younger players but most people playing never stopped, at least that's how it's been since mid 2023

[@dillonbuford]

Geoff's feeling about Halo is what we have been trying to say about let's play and AH. A consistent group of friends having fun without a plan. As KZbin and RT became more corporate all the fun and happiness was lost.

[@Snaggums]

I certainly didn’t expect Geoff to get better at Halo after all these years of watching him play, yet somehow I’m still left aghast at the level of skill on display here. I absolutely love watching these two goof off in video games together, but it’s especially special when they do it in Halo.

[@pat2rome]

They spent so much time playing Halo back in the day it seems like he could at least accidentally absorb some skill. But apparently not 😂

[@omarpineda57]

Aghast beautiful play of words sir.

[@SullySadface]

Geoff has gotten better at Geoffing it

[@finishthebattle]

I stopped watching AH long, long ago, probably a yearish after Matt fully joined the crew so my memory of Geoff's gameplay is him turning his camera slower than a disabled turtle doing a 360. I thought your comment was saying Geoff was secretly a Halo god and was going to pop the fuck off. Imagine my confusion when I see his trademark sensitivity paired with him staring at the ground then shooting a rock as the VERY first thing he does. I'm only here because I wanted to rewatch VS and saw Geoff and Gavin together, but god damn I do love that Geoff hasn't changed after all these years, absolute chad.

[@StarkRaven59]

[Muffled "WOT IS GAME NIGHT" from five feet over]

[@Achillez098]

This one video had more old-school AH magic than anything they've put out in recent years. Just some friends, trying to achieve some objective in a game, failing miserably, but having the time of their lives

[@McJavi138]

A lot of people are mentioning "nostalgia" as how to describe what Geoff is feeling, but I think "saudade" is a better word. It's like an intense, sad feeling for a love that is most likely gone forever but still wisful. It's like, a more intense nostalgia with a sadder undertone

[@StarkRaven59]

That is one heck of a vocabulary you got there.

[@noklish5194]

Huh, I was gonna make some snarky comment about you looking up some stupid overly specific word in the dictionary of obscure sorrows. But no, this one's a legit word apparently. Nice.

[@Puffleman24]

"We were just shooting the shit over lunch and came up with a video idea" is _exactly_ the vibe that we missed from you lads ❤ Obviously not every video can be a spur of the moment thing and a lot of ideas need planning but it's great to see these kind of videos in 2023!

[@HarrisonBowman]

I think a lot of fuckface is just that, spur of the moment ideas that come to fruition

[@jayl2298]

it probably doesn’t help that the only people still playing reach are stay the ones that never stopped playing in all this time.

[@IvanThink]

Original "Growth Spurt" and "Bum-Bait" enjoyer - this takes me back - I still play Halo everyday, I love you Geoff and Gavin! Thanks for the amazing childhood/adolescent memories!

[@pat2rome]

I'll still go back and watch Growth Spurt. "Boner! Look at that boner!"

[@cerjmedia]

It's so wild to think about the fact that Millie is 18 years old. I remember watching Millie during AHWU, what a time

[@xolotlvt]

God, she is? Damn I'm old lol. Been watching these guys since maybe 2010, and I remember there was a picture of her watching TV or something when she was a kid.. That and then later her in Game Kids, and showing up on some of the Off Topics. That is screwing with my brain rn lol

[@TheCrazyGamerLady]

My mom’s favorite moment was when the guys and Millie were playing COD sensitivity training and Millie killed Geoff and she started talking shit about Geoff. Not too long later, Geoff kills Millie and says, “What was that, sweetheart?” We both laugh like loons. 🤣

[@xolotlvt]

@@TheCrazyGamerLady I honestly don't remember that one. Sounds like I need to watch it lol

[@egirlcafemanager7119]

whattttttt

[@jb2einziger]

Wow Geoff and Gavin back doing a Halo video after all these years ?! So awesome !!!

[@adamstamper1097]

Love seeing this. Totally understand what Geoff was saying in the beginning of the video, I was feeling nostalgia of Geoff Gavin and Jack playing lots of halo in the early years of AH and RT. It made me happy, but also sad that the “Good ol’ days” are over. Loving the changes to this channel! Keep it up :)

[@SullySadface]

Hearing Geoff lose it over "I forgot about the balls" is like actual time travel

[@xBIGGIx]

I haven’t watched a Let’s Play vid in forever and hearing Geoff laugh about Plasma Grenade balls just made me glow for a good moment.

[@Blue_Camera_Cat]

11 years later and its still funny to see them playing Halo together

[@JWxUK]

We need more of the old crew uploads. These have always been the best.

[@itchysp]

Sadly it'll only be these 2 of the old crew, since AH has been laid to rest, let's play just belongs to the F**kface podcast now

[@samuelfawell9159]

@@itchyspeven then the only full time member of the original crew is Micheal, everyone else is gone.

@@samuelfawell9159wdym, Jack is still at RT, over at Inside Gaming playing more games every week than F**kFace and Dog Bark combined. Geoff shows up over there too, as do a lot of OGs. Matt and Jeremy was just on recently. Gavin too.

This is the most excited for a video that popped up in my subs in a long time. This content, geoff and gavin dicking around having fun, is what we love. The feeling of being 12 again and watching you guys rushed back. Its been almost 4 years since i unsubbed from here but since the regulation gameplay announcement im subbed again and looking forward to seeing the dudes i grew up watching have fun again.

[@ImSaltyGinger]

This is the most OG feeling RT or AH video ive seen in a decade.

[@Markenjiru]

I'm a simple man: I see Geoff and Gavin and I click. Maaan, this takes me back. I feel you Geoff. This makes me so nostalgic for the time in my life when I was watching hours of RT content every day. Simpler and happier times... So much love to the OG RT and AH crew! ❤

[@ColinTheGamerReal]

Geoff's comment about Halo is how I feel about Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter now honestly, I used to watch every video and podcast daily and now this is the first video I've watched by them in many years. It's a weird feeling.

[@JWxUK]

“He shot you in the back of the face” 😂

[@Kayciee130]

Halo with Geoff and Gavin? This put a huge smile on my face. so much nostalgia

[@BlackShadowRedDragon]

I fucking missed Geoff, It hit me hard when I heard him say "DOES THAT COUNT!?!"

Just Geoff and Gavin spending time together is wonderful.

[@DaAustinz]

I hope Geoff and Gavin continue to play more Halo... I mean come on, this type of video is truly the heart of what we grew up loving!

How are these two still this fun to watch and listen to? How, still?!?

[@RevampedCobra73]

First let's play video I've watched in years. Good to see you fellas still at it

[@jamesdulak3108]

Rewatching the original video it's so funny how Gavin and Geoff completely forgot the part where you need a shotgun, sword, or hammer so they can kill the dude assassinating the bait. Love you guys and glad you're still around in some form even if AH came to a mostly unceremonious end.

[@disciple012]

25:45 really funny seeing that you two are so busy trying to do the bum bait instead of playing normally and somehow Gav still gets the most kills on your team.

[@looler12123]

I saw the words "Bum bait" and got transported so far back in time. That was one of my first AH videos. Wild.

[@jerryclyde3391]

This brought me back to 2011 and man It was just comforting and very funny. Just friends doing silly little minigames within games is just the simplicity I missed.

[@Gaara4tails]

I need Geoff in a video more often to cope with life

[@Anthonysifuentes99]

I love watching Gavin and Geoff goof off in any game and just talk about anything it's Entertaining in my opinion. Never change you guys much love

[@amuroray.1690]

I think one of the reasons it's harder is that Halo is a lot less mainstream now than it was during Reach. Instead of a large population of all sorts of casuals roaming around you're mainly going to find veterans who know not to assassinate lightly and who would catch on to your bum-bait trap far more quickly than the average rookie would.

[@superkaboose1066]

This, just guys doing whatever they want with whatever game, this is what lets play is supposed to be, perfection!

[@maverickboiiii]

Gavin makes people have Frontback 😂

[@bighatloganband]

Man, watching this made me also nostalgic and sad. I remember in 2012 getting home from high school to watch Jack, Geoff, Gavin, and Michael play Halo or Minecraft or whatever. Over 10 years later, I'm running a let's play channel while making music with my band. I'll never forget RT for being there in my teenage years

[@theShermanator]

Max Verstappen mentioned; NEDERLAND HEEEEUJ

[@jeders21]

This video just made my year. The dynamic between Geoff and Gav in a random video is exactly what made me fall in love with AH and it's what had been missing for so long now.

[@ThisIsSpartttaaa]

The commentary in this video Is amazing, great insights and nostalgia from our main boyz!

[@WyattFredaCowie]

I was worried about you guys in the last few years but you've totally revitalized Let's Play, these videos are just like old times.

5:58 It makes me happy everytime they mention F1

[@TomboTheTornado]

I remember during reach LASO there was such a controversy around assassinations. It went on for three parts where we were just going back-and-forth trying to convince a guy that assassination was what you call hitting someone in the back and killing them out right

The no way I exclaimed when I saw the thumbnail lmao
