Mike's expression during the entire 'Jack Hard' segment is a priceless treasure. That's the face of a man taking admirable, enviable levels of pride and satisfaction in his work.

Fun fact, recent study showed the VAST majority of action heroes are named Jack, John or James haha, by a wide margin. He wasn't able to deduce exactly why, if it's just the sound of it just sounds tough, but clearly the makers of this game were on the money If you Google it you can read the breakdown, figures etc it's really interesting, they even ran the numbers excluding sequels etc to remove all the Bond movies from the metric, didn't matter haha

Honestly, this is one of your best vids. Thanks for producing superlative content year after year!

12:24 you can see Mike genuinely trying not to laugh and I love it.

"In case you're eating..." I am in fact eating, thank you for the abbreviation.

Beware of Jack Hard, he might have a Ceasless discharge. Because he is a maverick at edging.

[@TheWitchfinderGenral]

At least Sergeant Rex "Power" Colt was given that name ironically.

Speaking of Hideo Kojima, in Zone of the Enders: the 2nd runner the player takes control of Dingo Egret. Those are literally just two animals indigenous to Australia repurposed as a person's name.

[@Franky_Sthein]

What? I mean Dingo I knew but what is an Egret? I always saw it as an legit namen.

Edge Maverick is the most “dark anti-hero(TM)” name ever.

[@SigmentKurosai]

And yet, he's quite the boy scout in-game.

Life lesson from Andy: Are you hungry and see Mike eating, remind him of the DS boss Ceaseless Discharge.

Pizza Pasta exists to rob any 80s kids who've nearly beaten the game of any credibility on the playground. "Oh yeah? You beat punch out? who do you fight right before Mike Tyson?" "His name's Pizza Pasta" "okay sure billy"
