[@BillyInFourC]

This is what game hunting should look like. No prices, no ridiculous edits, weird sound effects, etc. Just memories and an actual conversation…love it.

[@miditemplate4011]

What stupidity. It only takes 5-9 mins to search your perfect youtuber for that since you can slideview the video for a while now.

[@oliverrendall]

100%

[@kjhenry100]

​@@miditemplate4011So spend 10 minutes searching for a video to slideview? Sure.

[@XNDivinity]

The more information is better for me.

[@miditemplate4011]

@@XNDivinity yes it gives more freedom to choose from. Lack of information is caging nowadays, but to each their own because something I have to do sometimes and I have to be disciplined.

[@mj2037]

Man, it's so good to see Rob doing physically better than he was a few years ago. Super thankful he's healthy. But yeah, videos like these are awesome! Do more if you can, Johnny!

[@jakemeals]

Thank goodness 🙏. I thought or miss heard the story about Rob losing his legs.

[@mau5pilot854]

Loving these episodes outside the gaming room!

[@danholo]

I agree. Seeing some Vancouver and HCG crew antics!

[@DerekBee]

I fully agree!

[@filipedeataideramos]

World of gaming 😁

[@hokut3n]

Was thinking the exact same thing. Awesome changing it up, Johnny!

[@Painmaster212]

100% agree. Gotta mix it up sometimes!

[@ShaunElliston]

Great to see the dynamic duo back again

The dynamite ducks if you will

[@CameronJohnson]

Man, just seeing Rob walking is awesome. It wasn't long ago where Rob was pretty sure he'd have to get part of his leg amputated. Pretty incredible progress!

[@bumblebee2365]

Happy to see Rob man back on the show

[@ClankStarr]

My favorite part of this video is just seeing Rob up and walking around. Nothing but love for the Rob man!

[@RobManWorld]

Cheers Clank! Big love from Langley BC. 😊

[@FanaticalFootballFan]

I’m sure I’m not the only one that enjoys outside the gameroom videos. You can call these videos “Johnny on the spot”

[@dannylenz3006]

I dig it!!

[@ItsMrLuigi]

I’m a watcher and not really a commenter, but I had to add how happy I am to see Rob Man walking around

[@RobManWorld]

Thanks MrLuigi! 😊

[@ItsMrLuigi]

@@RobManWorld wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it. Super happy for you!

[@courtneyjensen]

All my game stores are gone. I'm glad there are places in the world where youth remains.

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

Sunday is always rough because that means the weekend is ending and the work week starts anew, but always look forward to Sunday morning to have my coffee and watch the newest HCG episode.

[@KingXanadu]

As a fellow lifelong willow regular, this video warmed my heart . I've actually ran into Rob here a few years ago and we chatted . Johnny , you guys should do a similar video but at toy traders !

[@velavideoentertainment]

I love this format. For some reason, It reminds me of the home video Johnny did back in 2000 with him and Rob simply hanging out at his apartment. The two are still funny together decades later

[@Doughty321]

This is great. Getting away from the games room and a Wild Rob man appears as well.

[@AK-ms5cm]

The Streets of Rage stage clear music when you arrived at Willows was a nice touch.

[@observer.b_e_l_l_i_s]

Thought that was Revenge of Shinobi, its been a while.

[@DoomsdayMayBeOkay]

Mind blown 🤯 I'm so jealous right now. I don't have these dedicated video game stores where i live for decades! 😭

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

I really wish I had a friend to gamehunt with like this

[@socksfelloff]

I'll just reiterate what everyone else has said, it's so good to see Rob happy and healthy. You guys have always preached the power of positivity and there's no better example than Robman looking the best he's looked in years!

[@lyleabrahams]

Hanging and gaming with these 2 guys with a few boxes of pizza on hand, during a rainy day would probably be the greatest geek out session.

[@med1ocreman]

One of my favorites in a long while. THE FAMOUS WILLOW VIDEO WITH JOHN AND ROB! Die hards know how important this episode is.

[@Realmjumper4099]

Happy to see Rob is recovering nicely from the accident. Best wishes to you both and your family.

[@christhepocketmasterr]

OMG you are right. I didn't even think he was hurt.

[@mrjoejon6882]

Seeing Rob up and walking around is such a good thing to see!

[@blackhawk65589]

This is one of your best videos! No jump cuts to some obscure reference, no annoying sound effects. It was awesome to relive Rob's and your experience with a subtle hint of what the game was without it being distracting.

[@mtg420]

I think I know who you’re talking about and I oddly enough I wouldn’t mind the sound effects if they weren’t all just meme sourced

[@blackhawk65589]

@@mtg420 Agreed. I just find it super distracting when someone says one word and it will jump to some irrelevant clip of whatever for 5-15 seconds. I'm here to watch you, not a rerun of family guy lol

[@LuisSantos-xj3rg]

Rob seems to be walking very well, luckily he recovered well from the serious accident, I'm very happy for him.

[@anthonymarriott6687]

I love how politely quiet you both are. Even when you’re clearly excited about something ❤️

[@ScottyMo]

It's crazy this video releases the same weekend I discover an amazing game store in a nearby dead mall since Johnny doesn't do many adventures. This was great! Casual conversations and just hanging out. Thanks for taking us along. I'm surprised you guys didn't grab anything.

[@jazzjohannes]

Man I love this video so much, I felt like I was either of you, and with my childhood friend, it felt so real, I can't explain it.

[@geauxtama]

I get it!

[@AlohaGamester]

This is the episode ive always wanted to see. Game hunting with the guys!Robman is back!

[@NerdCrave]

Johnny, I’m absolutely loving it when you get out of the game room like this. It’s so much fun to see what’s out there around you these different game stores and the adventures you have with your friends it’s a breath of fresh air.

[@rodrigorocha2935]

Johnny in the wild is amazing, keep going man, those videos are pure golden, always bring Rob along, maybe he wil find this thing called "time".

[@andrewarbuckle8123]

This was a lot of fun. So glad to see Rob Man in the video and nice to see you guys out on an adventure. Did you end up picking up any games? I'm so glad Willow Video changed the stickers they put on their games. They used to use bright orange stickers that would NEVER come off the case without leaving a mess. Great store, though.

[@BlueMilkJedi]

I love these videos it brings back memories of back in the day and going to the local game store with my friends. Also we need more RobMan would love to see you guys doing videos of you just play games together or just shooting the shit.

[@MrSwerdna]

Rob: "I don't have time to play games" Johnny: "Do you wanna go game hunting at Willow games? Rob: "Sure!"

[@imoldgregg8]

I know it was terrible, but maybe Robs injury was a blessing in disguise. He looks so happy and healthy! Love to see you two out and about! Would love to see more of the 2 of you hanging out and shooting the shit.

[@user-sp8jf7iz4n]

it is so awesome to see him walking around and looking fantastic.

[@SushiBandit28]

Is he just done with work now?

What was the injury ?

[@theraycat9681]

In the age of digital purchases and DLCs, this store is like a breath of fresh air.. a big warehouse full of physical video games! It's pure nostalgia!

[@taglor]

As a 48 yo gamer I totally get that closing the blinds and still do. Really great seeing some of Vancouver and your shared history, Rob, always a pleasure. I just think Rob shoukd wear a tunic that has Tunic on it 😂. Hi from Ireland 👋🇨🇮

[@shabalalagamingtv]

Oh my GOODNESS was this an AMAZING watch! Seeing Rob out and about with you was something special and brought back nostalgic feelings of going game hunting with my loved ones! Sending love, thanks for sharing your adventures Johnny!❤️✅😎

[@joeivo911]

I love every time rob is on!

[@geauxtama]

Honestly, watching you guys vibe and rift on nostalgia while SoR2 OST plays in the background brings a tear to my eye. So jealous in the best way.

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

Sex Pistols, too satanic Johnny

[@leftymu]

Massive agree with Rob's "I don't like Souls and I'm tired of everything being Souls"

[@kruch66]

This confused me though because he is wearing a Tunic shirt and talks about how much he likes Tunic. Tunic is a soulslike lol.

[@DaveHolladay]

I think tunic is a Zelda like

[@Blammo94]

@@kruch66 it’s like 5% souls MAYBE. it is mainly a Zelda-clone. Hell 3D Dot Game Heroes was a more Souls like Zelda clone imo

[@ozloner8777]

I agree more on his take with the Rogue-likes/Rogue-lites. Some of them were clearly chasing the trend and shoehorning the rogue elements in.

[@ddist0rtt]

​@@kruch66 I think people forget about some of the difficulty of older zelda games.

[@femtrooper]

Awesome video, guys!!! That place was legit - especially the fact that they rent games. Super cool!!!

[@dannylenz3006]

Wish I had a game store of that magnitude!! I'm a little jealous but good show.

[@MexioftheOnis]

I hope to see more adventures of Johnny and Robman!

[@pvt.prinny759]

I always become so happy when i see there’s a new video with Rob

[@theTenaciousTea]

Please do more of these with Rob. Simple, no thrills - it almost feels like we are there with you as pals reminiscing and chatting games.

[@Eagleknight815]

Rob with the sick hockey burn at the end! 😂😂 Guys, this is whats its all about. Going hunting with a great friend and spending an afternoon finding some treasures! More of this please! I know, time, family, responsibilities I get it but man such an enjoyable episode this week.

[@otherreality]

Hailing from Greece, well we got sun alright but that didn't stop us from non stop gaming in the 90s! Sadly though, all our beloved games stores are now gone! So i enjoyed this video, nice to watch two buddies on a gamehunt just like 20-30 yrs ago!

[@AkiraYuki5150]

Awesome seeing Rob being able to walk again! I remember when things weren't looking so good for him.

[@Paulo-1999]

This store is a paradise. What a priviledge to not only have that but to have for so many years and it's still there. Wow. I'm speechless.

[@gameatron2.0]

Thanks guys for sharing this and bringing us along.. I must say, I envy living in such a place where you have access to such great collections and you can walk by these stores literally living all those great memories of the past... I live in Saudi Arabia, and I've been a gamer since I was 7.... I still remember my first console the Atari 2600. gone are the days!

[@garebeargamingttv5441]

I haven't been excited for any new games or new entertainment in YEARS; but as soon as I see a Robman video!? I jump out of my seat and scramble to watch it, immediately.

[@Phiidyn]

"As soon as I hear 'rogue-like, rogue-lite, or souls... I'm out!" I feel you there, Rob. I am more than burnt on these.

[@noside.foxhound]

I always love watching Johnny and Robman haning around!

[@shogunflame9406]

I've been watching you since I was 14 with my brother. Im 26 now. Keep doing your thing, brother 😊.

[@thecouchpotato88]

A breath of fresh air from Johnny & Rob. Make more videos like this

[@HarpoSpeaks]

This is a really great format for a video - conversation starters that you can literally pull off a shelf, and it leads to a recommendation or evokes a memory. Hope you do more like this.

[@thomaspickering2344]

Rob has such great enthusiasm. Always a delight on the channel.

[@WinspearUltima]

Man I love retro gaming collecting, it’s a hobby for me for real and I love it.

[@Sugaswhisper]

I loved this video and seeing you explore the game store. I watched it twice in a row to take it all in. Keep them coming!

[@TriggerZz]

We need more videos like these it feels like hanging out with you and rob man

[@sibbyeskie]

So nostalgic. Used to got to the Newton location. Saved up and picked up Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails CD’s and rented games every week. That’s my childhood right there. I thought they closed shop up years ago and remember a smaller Langley location before that? But this reminds me of that old Newton setup. Can’t wait to head out and see it again.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

The Newton Location was my Jam! back in the early 90's!

[@robertgall92]

As some originally from Scotland, I totally understand your Vancouver "always rains" comment. Really great to see both you and Rob outside of the game room for a change - more of this please Johnny.

[@NAWKtoons]

My favorite videos are always the ones with Rob Man in it! The dynamic between these two is just the best!

[@hogcia66]

I’ve been a little depressed. But honestly your videos help me a ton. Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@ColesSnackAttack]

I love seeing videos of you out in the real world! And of course, and video with Rob Man is great!

[@majorbriggs4730]

Love these videos out of the studio and the chemistry between you and Robman is always great 👍🏻

[@IlliyaVjestica]

Really enjoy the new format Johnny. I would also be keen to see you and Rob (and others) talk over a beer or food. Or just exploring your local area. It's nice to see you outside the room, whilst it feels strange at first (so used to your room as the backdrop) it's refreshing.

[@lightninstriker10]

Well, if I ever happen to be in Vancouver, I know where I'm going first! My best friend and I have a very similar dynamic to you and Rob, just.. 20 years younger! It's always a blast seeing you two bounce off of each-other.

[@joequinonez9656]

Sunday is always rough because that means the weekend is ending and the work week starts anew, but always look forward to Sunday morning to have my coffee and watch the newest HCG episode.

Not sure how after over 15 years of watching the show, I still tune into episodes like this that take me way, way back. Loved every minute guys, thank you. 🙏🏽

[@jackcooper5192]

It’s cool to see different types of videos that aren’t in the game room, I love it man!

Johnny and Robman, the best duo ever! You guys are the best, thanks for this awesome episoooooooode!

[@aaronblokzyl9547]

Willow is my go to place for all games. Always great pricing and friendly staff. Bought one of the first N64s released back in the day from the old Abbotsford location. Glad to hear the Toy Traders comment from Rob too. That place would need an episode all on it's own.

This was so fun! Always great to see you two together.

[@Stevanasorous]

Rob man is funny as, bring him back for more!

[@arcadelinkauthor]

I found this channel years ago, when you discussed renting the N64 and Mario 64 from the Newton location before it launched, because they ordered them from Japan. We did the same thing! There was a location across the street from Semiahmoo Mall in White Rock, next to the Rialto theatre, and my dad bought me M.C. Kids, and Adventures of Lolo 2 there. It takes me almost 2 hours to get to Willow now, sadly, so I havent been in years. :(

[@rockutron9000]

I didn’t know a store like that could exist. Awesome hearing the old stories as you browse the shelves.

[@jb0258jr]

Loved seeing this, and id love to see more Vlog-style videos in the Vancouver area. I just think that style of video is super interesting, particularly from a content creator you like, who lives far away. Also, glad to see Rob again! He seems like he's doing better.
