Johnny vs. Merry Gear Solid

In today's episode, I'm feeling quite jolly. How about we sidetrack for a moment for some fan-made Christmas Metal Gear action? I'm taking a look at Arthur Lee's Merry Gear Solid series!

+KZbin, All I want to do is watch a video, stop making me update. we need this on Itunes or something

[@StopChangingMyNameYoutube1]

Gone Sexual That's referring to just before the Google plus takeover on youtube. At the time I kept getting notifications to update my account and change my username (for whatever reason), so I made _That_ username as a big middle finger to the whole debacle. It grew on me as a username though, so I've kept it, even if it doesn't make sense post google+

[@StopChangingMyNameYoutube1]

Gone Sexual I know right, it was weird.

[@MrLuizilla]

Holy shit that opening was amazing

[@A-Dubs398]

It wasn't that good.

[@niko8571]

+MrKockNoker I agree. Just go with the same old intro.

[@TKZhyon]

+MrKockNoker You're not that good

[@xsnorksx9668]

+MrKockNoker YES IT WAS!!

[@niko8571]

mehmet aydin It's his opinion. Same for you, so calm down.

[@ChaseFace]

I was the voice-actor for Cold Snake in MGS2, and Arthur Lee is currently finishing up his new Steam game "WASTED," a dungeon-crawling FPS with Fallout-inspired charmingly retro aesthetics, being published by Adult Swim. Glad you liked the game, Johnny! Maybe give Arthur's new game a look if you find yourself bored.

[@kylecampbell565]

Wow! Do you know if he is still working on Merry Gear Solid 3

[@ChaseFace]

I always nag him to, but I don't think he is. He might come back to it.

[@kylecampbell565]

Yeah I think I remember reading on Twitter he's been on and off for the past 5 years

[@benlink202forever]

Oh shoot, nice to see you responded to this video! Love your stuff

[@Shift_Salt]

Wait really? Damn I never knew that and I've known about the game for a while. You did great work, hope it was fun to work on.

[@Bladeslingersgamepreserve]

Interesting to note that Big Boss actually believes in Santa Claus. No one told him he wasn't real.

[@TheSuperSmashBros01]

@Jaegar Newman if Merry Gear Solid was official and canon it wouldn’t be too far fetched. It would actually be interesting and badass

[@demi-femme4821]

The reason is implied to because The Boss actually gave John Christmas presents under the guise of Santa Claus.

[@JB2FROSTY]

Santa Clausmantis?

[@efb1995]

Santa Claus isn't real?!

[@jonathansaucedo74]

​​@@demi-femme4821 I know it's late but that also makes the story more sad because that would mean Big Boss stopped receiving presents after the Boss left him. Maybe he thinks from time to time that killing the Boss meant no more Christmas presents forever 😢

[@MegaAnimazing]

Can't believe it's been 3 years already since his Metal Gear marathon, it's easily my favorite marathon he's ever done.

[@SmashSSL]

same tbh

[@TheChefBoo]

This marathon that got me interested in metal gear

[@zzzhuh]

This gonna fuck you up... It was 3 years since your comment.

[@ProphecyPhrase]

Merry Christmas to Johnny, Elliot, Mark and everyone else in the comments

[@mental263]

+Matthew Breach Merry christmas to you as well.

[@WrongButtonGames]

Same to you; have a good one!

[@jamesquinonez3914]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@Altar360]

Gotta rewatch this every year just for that intro!

[@Mikewolv007]

I have these lyrics memorized by heart, but I could not tell you his deck the halls goes.

[@GeneralDragon011]

That's why I'm back.

[@WrongButtonGames]

The SpongeBob clip killed me; merry Christmas!

[@ink1931]

Merry Christmas to you, Johnny! And to Konami, have a crappy New Year!

[@ProphecyPhrase]

Agreed

[@ProphecyPhrase]

+DragonHunter1 Agreed

[@Nintendostuffncrud]

Forgive me for being uninformed, but what's wrong with konami again?

[@Nintendostuffncrud]

+DragonHunter1 no I never knew to begin with

[@JMandJJ7797]

+DragonHunter1 Amen. I wonder if Kojima could make a spiritual successor that takes place in a more futuristic setting. But still carry the deep meanings and story telling that Metal Gear Solid series had but instead of war they could tackle government issues. Like the story of it could have something to do with a stealthy rebel agent and his team against a corrupt government. Or something.

[@5persondude]

Santa, get down! Santa, thats an *enemy sleigh* A single burst from its reindeer gun can tear a present in half Treat carefully, Santa...

[@ZeroKnight95]

I always rewatch and enjoy this review every Christmas.

[@LuxeCrux]

I LOVE that opening if you liked John's singing you should hear him sing Dragon Soul

[@OsakaLover]

Pff, these games sounds silly, I'll have to look for them. Also that bit with "Who has a better beard than Santa?" and suddenly you brought Ramuh in from FF14 made me laugh. He has the best beard ever, no contest. XD

[@DellStarX]

The bloopers at the end were golden! Fuckin' loved it!

[@solaris6428]

This is definitely the best Somecallmejohnny Christmas review.

[@BlueBlur86CP]

I fucking loved this, Johnny. Happy holidays to you, your loved ones, and everyone! I hope you do another Christmas special next year. ^_^

[@NaiblistheCurious1]

Thanks, Mark. You made a great Genome Soldier to make this the best review intro of 2015.

[@ForgottenSon_]

Johnny: who has a better beard than santa? Me: Gandalf?

[@GreenNinjaTea]

Whenever i hear 'Deck The Halls' all i hear is the opening to this

[@novustalks7525]

That intro was brilliant. Deck the halls with cardboard boxes lmao

[@mAceOfHearts]

The amount of people who aren't aware it's "La Li Lu Le Lo" disappoints me greatly. Step it up, guys.

[@DaniloSantosVieira]

[@KidEDarus]

Santa Johnny is the best!

[@MistressDove]

+DragonHunter1 Santa Johnny is my new meme

[@munsi0121]

So if there's ever a game based on Johnny there has to be Johnny Elliot Matt Mark Boom Johnny Origins Johnny And Santa Johnny

[@Segaman55]

+munsi0121 don't forget sonic hat johnny

[@NamekuBushi]

+munsi0121 I would go with "SomecallmeSanta", but you are also missing Johnny the Hero of Hyrule and BatJohnny. Also, who thinks we'll eventually see Johnny in Chrono Trigger and Sonic Rush Adventure.

[@munsi0121]

+NamekuBushi I said origins Johnny the one with batman and Santa also YES SONIC HAT JOHNNY

[@SenecaGray]

Can't believe this video is now a year old...

[@StarforceOnAir]

Johnny, that opening was the best Christmas present you have given us EVER.

[@Finalblue1234]

that song. it's so beautiful...

[@SpookyBoogie7]

This made my Christmas so much better! Thank you Johnny, Elliot and Mark, and have a wonderful Christmas!

[@swolie]

Please send us a link to download the song, we need it

[@KidSnivy69]

Indeed

[@ProfessM]

It is about three years later and I still want a full single of that song the Super Gaming bros sang.

[@semajnawoc6162]

We need a ten hour version of the song

[@Mateoski97]

I know this isn't part of the official Metal Gear story, but I really hope Johnny reviews Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. That was a really good game, especially for the GBC.

[@baclaba12]

+Mateoski Productions He said he will so don't worry =) He doesn't know where he should upload it order wise though.

[@goku262002]

+Mateoski Productions Relax, Johnny is through in his marathons he will review it all, theirs only about 20 or so games even with the spin offs.

[@aztn19]

This review has become a Christmas tradition at this point lol!! Happy Christmas and Merry New Years everyone!!

[@BlackBirdGuardian]

we have: Luigi Johnny. Drunk Johnny. Sonic Johnny. Mario Johnny. Batman Johnny. and now we have Santa Johnny... Not sure if i missed any other different personas of Johnny. XD

That was fantastic. Happy a merry christmas Johnny, Elliot and Mark you guys deserve it! Thanks for the memories chaps.

[@megaburritozero]

Thank you Johnny for your reviews, as i bought 3 steam games, that you previously reviewed(and i enjoyed watching), for a sick deal. Also, love the stealth action intro and the lovely music piece along with it. Hope you had a Merry's Christmas! :)

YOu know... I just realized, Johnny was wrong when he said that Another Metroid 2 Remake was the first fan game he reviewed.

[@AubreyTheKing]

I wonder how the series would have been if this fan-game was canon lol Anyway, Merry Christmas, Johnny!

[@darkman4811]

OMG!!! The concept of these games are brilliant! How have I never heard of these games before until now!?

[@NeroDracolith]

I don't comment much on your videos but I just want you to know that your content is fantastic. Your reviews and humor are nothing short of great! Keep up the good work!

This by far has the best intro I've ever seen xD You should do more home movies like at the end (or should I say bloopers) more often :P

[@samuelkelly5615]

Santa smoking a candy cane? Seems legit

[@JohntheKing]

Johnny with the Santa beard and bandana is just fucking hilarious at times. In the outtakes when Johnny shoots Mark with the Nerf gun, he just looks *so* done with this shit like a grumpy parent who just doesn't give a shit about jolly Christmas traditions anymore. XD

[@ItMeansInfinite]

Merry Gear Solid 2- Twin Santa

[@RecruitofApollo]

That introduction, though. I'm definitely gonna check these out for myself.

[@crazycubedude]

You guys look like you had a ton of fun filming that into and writing/singing that song. It gave me a good laugh as I'm sure that was the intent. Loved it. On to the rest of the mind fuckery with the rest of the series.
