I Invited Jason Blundell to come over & he actually did... (Full Stream)

[@JCbackfire]

I was doing a retro games stream and thought it would be pretty cool if I got someone who actually had better knowledge of some of these things than myself!! We ended up just chilling and hanging out, talking about life, passion, etc. Really hope y'all enjoyed it! (Also, btw if it seems like we're talking to chat at points... that's because we were on Twitch! haha)

[@gamingwbeast5273]

I freaking love you guys!

[@thekiddo115]

Happy that this happened!

[@combat-ace0051]

I freaking love Jason blundell. I was so worried about his sudden leaving of his studio. So glad to see he is in good health. ❤. Hope he’s cooking up something and has a card up his sleeve like he always does when he’s sneaking around under the social media radar and literally just afk in life right before he pops up out of nowhere a drops an Easter egg bomb on us (last one was creating a studio)…maybe this time he’ll pop up outta nowhere wearing a full on ghillie suit 😂 and then say. IM BACK! And maybe it’s zombies again 🙏

[@combat-ace0051]

And you’re awesome as well Jc. Love your dynamic with blundell. And it’s been a pleasure watching you growing up during the chronicle days and to see you and blundell( your relationship/friendship) grow over the past few years

[@mcfcguvnors]

I mean he got the job at Deviation in part to Jason.

Seeing you two in the same room again brings back beautiful Chronicles memories

[@BoxOfCurryos]

Where you been kiwi????

[@Scotty_28]

I missed this man so much. He hasn’t lost a step. He deserves to be working on something big again. Guy is just an endless stream of creative genius. Thank you for letting us see the man, the myth, the legend himself again JC. ❤️

[@JCbackfire]

Of course! :'))

[@pengutheone5579]

It’s good to simply see Jason!! I hope he’s doing good with his ventures !

[@itztrixim]

My jaw dropped. Ever since his departure from deviation games I’ve constantly wondered where he is or what he’s up to. I jumped out of my chair and genuinely teared up seeing him. He really made my childhood the best time of my life. I hope we see him possibly working on something in the future 🤞🏻

[@PurgatoryInc]

Holy wow! I dont think Jason realizes how good it is to see him. Not sure why but i teared up.

[@JCbackfire]

Aww man, I feel this.

[@PurgatoryInc]

Tbf I did too

[@BlueJayz474]

Wasn’t able to catch the stream, but I’m glad to at least see Jason alive and well. Makes me happy to see him again.

[@JCbackfire]

Me too

[@unfoundedwraith]

The man that made our childhoods. I’m so glad to see him doing well, as well as you jc

[@JCbackfire]

Aw, you're too kind! Appreciate it

[@RossAshmore]

I hope Jason knows he's like the cool uncle of an entire community, and every time we see him its just so wholesome and fun! I may have grown distant from the zombies community as I've gotten older, but stuff like this fills me with so much joy, and takes me back to better times! Also glad to see you're doing well JC!

[@JCbackfire]

Appreciate you!! Hope you're doing well too :')

[@themarinawave]

dawg this makes me so happy to see. i was there day one, age 15, for the zombies chronicles reveal. i thought that you two in the same room for a video would be a one and done. now at 21, seeing y’all just chill, play retro games, and have a good time is so nice. :’)) [edit] 11:55 learning that jason blundell was a play tester for parappa the rapper is one of the funniest things i’ve ever heard

[@JCbackfire]

❤❤❤ :') this comment makes me so happy. Thanks for taking the time to watch my stuff over the years!!!

[@bobska_2]

Honestly man seeing jason again just makes me genuinely happy man its like the chronicles all over again i remember being so hyped back in the day when i saw him

[@bobska_2]

It's also just really awsome to see that you guys have a legitimate freindship and it wasn't all just marketing stuff .

[@Bass_And_Games]

Just seeing him not be cryptic and talk about things he loves in his speedy voice is great

[@allsparky]

A tear came to my eye when the number of colors was being talked about because I could feel the passion and love for the craft and it reminded me of the BO3 golden era. This is legitimately so cool and I'm glad this happened, and wish for this to happen more often

[@goldenfrieza3805]

After almost 2 years he Finally makes a appearance after he quit deviation games

[@I_O246]

Activision lost billions not because of the repeated cod releases, but by letting this man go. Zombies has never been the same, and this man is solely responsible for making bo2-bo3 amazing. He’s the reason Bo3 is still on the top bought items on steam because he created a timeless zombie’s experience. God bless you blundell, thank you for creating the definitive zombies experience

[@bmla88]

Too bad the community turned on him with bo4.

[@PSYLODV]

I wish I was there to see it go down live. I used to cite Jason as an inspiration and to many degrees, they've definitely still kept me inspired, so it's uplifting to see their face again! Thanks for uploading this, JC!

[@JCbackfire]

Dude, really appreciate hearing this. Thanks :')

[@itsmefranklinblack]

Such a wonderful stream. Definitely top 5 streams. Hope he comes back again

[@JCbackfire]

Me too! Love that man!

[@MHA01]

We need more Jason Blundell not even COD Related just him talking and having fun just is enjoyable. I started watching this video to hear him talk about COD Zombies and more info on the ideas but stayed because of how funny and the knowledge he shared with us.

[@officer4043]

Jason & Jimmy made Gen Z's childhood. There needs to be more developers/producers like them in the gaming industry.

[@glibbylive4564]

crazy to see jc and jason casually hanging out on stream! keep up the good work JC!

[@JCbackfire]

Appreciate you so much!

[@PriestlyBlock67]

Does Jason know how much we love him? Just make sure to tell him how much we appreciate him I hate dorks crying over stuff on the Internet But jeez for some reason I teared up, maybe because the man made my childhood

[@JCbackfire]

❤ ❤❤😭

[@leahhannon9151]

its crazy how much of an impact Jason made, I always wonder if he realises how much people love him for what he did.

[@Ethanvaladez637]

This video just made my day, just two friends chilling and talking about games. Thank you guys and have a fantastic day!

[@JCbackfire]

thanks for watching, seriously! That was the goal of the stream, so happy it worked out! :)

[@hAnkyPhexTwin1]

When Jason started to talk about mapping out the dungeons I've done that too, many games on NES. Oh, I remembered that is how I solved the Myst - Submarine puzzle. :)

[@unholyghost96]

Brings back so many memories seeing you two together and just Jason in general. Man I missed seeing him. Hopefully we see more of this again and hopefully in the future you two can work together again.

[@fancypup2298]

Props to you JC making lives so much better and you BIG time now thats wild

[@JCbackfire]

You're too kind!

[@animeloverhaven]

Yooooo never thought i’d see Jason just chillin on stream again this was great

[@JCbackfire]

Glad you enjoyed!!

[@SpencerLSimmons]

If you can, please tell Mr. Blundell thank you, not only for his contributions to COD but gaming in general for the older Gen Z generations. He helped me personally and a lot of poverty households get through our rough teenage years with the games he worked on, and as an artist myself, he made a major sacrifices behind the scenes that I know must have been hard. I’m so happy to see him happy and enjoying life.

[@OfficialWhve]

Glad to see you both doing well, maybe for next time have a chat Q&A with Jason. P.S. Us hardcore want to know about that impossible egg 8 years later 👀 Great stream !!

Did they not bring it up?

Jason is such a legend. He's not even working at Treyarch anymore but still keeps in touch with his fans in his own free time.

[@LastGenRichtofenn]

Incredible. No reveal, just two bros having a blast together.

[@therealfirale]

Jason's perspective on the world and development is just so refreshing. I'm not in game development but his advise is so useful, and I didn't know he was so humurous and fun! Glad to see him just happy.

seeing Jason Blundell anytime on someone's stream just always makes me smile.

[@TopazBeast]

Always love seeing Jason man, such a pleasure

[@XgoodbyeX]

Im really glad we get to see jason here for fun its great to learn more about him he is a lot of our childhoods i know he probably won't talk about zombies but you can tell tye amount of work he put in those games especially bo4 it wasn't for most but you can definitely see his work work work attitude and the constant innovation

[@kota9087]

Okay i just honestly want to see jasons next work. i hope i dont miss it when it comes and i am more than patient. Also lets see what deviation is all about. Cant wait! Thanks for doing the stream!

[@darkrize3547]

Happy to see the dude who made the best zombies maps living his life happily.

[@foxmccoy6595]

Ahhhh Jason, I really want him to come back and do something with the Zombie genre or something similar and just, make something extraordinary. Treyarch have just not been up there recently, I find myself playing BO2 and 3 way more. Haven't seen the video yet, going to watch now, love your work mate.

[@Classified0]

It's good to see him back again, I always wondered where he went after deviation games

[@choyskiski]

Let’s go!! This was a blast to watch.

[@jadenalvarado4912]

[@captainkill21]

Wow that’s awesome that he came back to hang with you. Seeing the two of you together feels nostalgic at this point. Really miss the OG golden era of zombies. We are all getting older and that time has passed but I miss how fun that game was to play with friends when times were a lot more simple

Absolute treat to just see that Jason is around and still having some fun. This was a perfect way to let us know he’s alive haha

[@EliM2908]

This was amazing, I’ve always wanted to know more about Jason and his pathway and how he got to where he is, especially as a northern Brit like myself. I could listen to him speak all day.

[@crownedcryptidgaming]

This was really fun and informative. I feel like it’s so rare for high-caliber game developers to talk so casually! I hope we can get more conversations like this.

[@ypcomchic]

Blundell is the best. Watching this a year later. Blundell should write his own autobiography and fill it with all his programming and gaming knowledge as well as his life happenings. I think currently today sept 2024 he was hired by Bungie I believe to create or work on a game for them. Also we are all still trying to find his impossible Easter egg!!

[@jzglazier8999]

This was so wholesome. I loved that you guys were able to just chill like that’s so cool 😂

[@KlausCiocannis]

Reading the comments filled my heart with joy because I thought I was the only weirdo to genuinelly be so happy to see Blundell that I almost teared up. I don't think there will ever be a game developer with such a strong and united community, and Jason truly deserves this. Again, I am SO HAPPY to see him and I truly hope he is happy as well. He hasn't changed one bit!

[@lil_r033zy]

Jason needs to get a social media of some kind to let us know what he been up to because this man is literally a ghost

[@stingray-xf8mu]

I thought this entire stream would be ignoring the elephant in the room, but the smile on my face for the full 2 and a half hours made me forget. Absolutely loved this. Get Jason back in for more streams if you can manage it!

[@EngelbertHumperdinkie]

This is amazing. Great! I'm a big zombies nerd, but it's just so fun to hear from Blundell again. Just as a person.

[@ThatsMySkill]

weve only seen this man in a cryptic setting so seeing him like this where he tells us about his life feels so good

[@TheRealYTAtomic]

So awesome love how Jason is passionate about games and the community that everyone has created here

[@monkee5894]

So nice to see, somehow relieving to know he is doing well! Thank you JC!

[@connoriquada5429]

I love how tight JC and Jason are. Bo3 was really a life changing time for the community.

[@truzz4]

Sadly couldn't catch the stream but I genuinely have the biggest smile on my face watching this VOD rn. So cool to learn more about game dev stuff from an actual veteran in the industry, especially as a Computer Science student :)

[@JCbackfire]

Love to hear this

[@lorenzobaxter]

Seriously though, like Jason mentioning he will be back.... 👀 seeing him talk more about his experience either in the industry or just simply hearing his thoughts on other types of games than ones he's made, like more recent games, would be so sick to hear. We await the return of the legend 🙌 but what a stream!

[@moz6388]

Honestly thank you so much for NOT shoving Zombies down his throat. He left on his own accord that means that he wants nothing to do with zombies anymore. I think anyone other than JC would've definitely asked him at least 20 question about zombies.

[@ManiacalflameYT]

Keep in mind they were literally working together pretty much. He probably already knows the exact reason. So he wouldn’t need to ask. But yeah i’m glad he didn’t use it clickbait at least

[@RJ-td6ic]

Saw this while going through the zombie lore/theory cycles again. As much as i want some more zombie info and what happened with deviation. Glad he seems okay. Dont know the guy but he seems healthily passionate and genarally decent.

[@papapotato1875]

I can't express how nice it is to see that the guy that made the game mode that would garner our attention more than other full games is actually not an activision creep and is a good guy that appreciates his fans and has a lot of passion for gaming.

[@APixelz]

Dude I have been watching you for years now. Your genuine happiness in this video is great man. You’re awesome JC!

[@NE0N0W0]

Having just finished my degree in game design the note of "learn the rules, then break them" really hit hard and was something i never really thought about. Yes, learning how to use the software and developing your knowledge will get you far, but the hard part is then figuring out what to do with that knowledge and turning what you have learned into your own thing.

[@shahiq_z]

I absolutely loved this JC. I can totally understand how we cannot dig into the stuff we really want to dig into, and so just seeing Jason talk about his experiences was just as cool. This man gave me so many amazing experiences in my childhood. Love to Jason and JC❤

[@Spam591_]

Truly can’t wait to see what the two of you and the rest of the team are secretly cooking up somewhere in PlayStation land 🔥❤️

[@jyapp4489]

It's honestly great to just see Jason happy and enjoying life for a bit. This was wholesome :) I also really needed to hear that talk about imposter syndrome, since I'm trying to break into the games industry as a programmer as well. P.S. the editing was very funny

[@l0rdparzival954]

The fact that you both don’t even work together anymore and are just homies is amazing

[@aquaimperative5618]

I just wanna listen to a podcast about Jason's life. Not just zombies but everything overall man, it would be so sick

[@NunnyJJN]

The man who made my childhood gaming experience explaining his childhood gaming is something i never knew i needed.

[@n.e.w.t.gaming7851]

It’s crazy, I was actually googling JB the other day trying to see if he was working on anything and to see this is so awesome! I love seeing such a industry GOAT talking about penguin adventure. Such a wholesome video! Props to you JC!

[@inkrot]

I mainly do audio in my line of work but I still keep my engineer brain working on literally everything I do so I understand pipelines and just how all these things work together to make a final product.... Hearing Jason talk about all this older tech is just so fun to listen to and put the pieces together on my incomplete knowledge about a lot of things. Working with Jason has got to be an amazing experience and to be friends with him as well?? Damn JC has the life.

[@toodamnicycold]

Can we get this man on a podcast or something? A one hour session with Milo lol

So much nostalgia, was watching your RTTW 2 hour stream when i came across this. you look great man

[@JohnCena-ep2mz]

I had probably the worst zombies experience ever with my brother playing mob of the dead on a tiny split-screen 4 player box tv when I was still a child, but I still had a lot of fun, even if I had no idea what was going on. After playing moon with my friends on BO1 on their PS3 and dying on earth, I never played it again, until BO3 and I grinded it till I got to probably 40 days in that game on PS4. BO3 and BO4 zombies was some of the best media I've ever consumed. I can't fathom a game that could be made with no publishing or financial restraints from this team and Jason, thank you for an amazing experience spanning a decade. Glad to see you're doing well

[@ItzXana]

Love this, love just hearing yall chat and share experiences. Jason is awesome and he has definitely inspired me in may different ways. Great video JC o7

[@ItzXana]

Reply here now that I've finished the stream and man freaking love this. Jason's stories and chatting is so interesting and its wild to hear the guy who made some of the games that defined my childhood and a story I followed for a decade talk about his inspiration and growing up. Also would pay so much for you to do another stream and talk about TTRPG stuff. How he described telling stories through being a DM/in a DM style is so inspirational because that's exactly what I hope to do one day. Insane stream and much love to yall o7

[@shadowedits1176]

you two would make such a good podcast together! like just hearing this is so interesting. I'd genuinely pay to see this in podcast forms. always great seeing Jason again too

“All I ever wanted to do is make a story.” The fact that the first ever map he directed was mob of the dead just shows how passionate he is. Gosh I wish treyarch would give Jason the rights to zombies so he could build his own team.
