The Christmas Maze 2022 Episode 4 - That's A Wrap

[@michaelcastle5354]

Losing that episode must've been super stressful in the office. Cheers to these bright souls for turning it into a fun bit for the intro. It's only content after all. We'll be here regardless of the episode count. Cheers team!

[@PlayStationAccess]

Thanks for the support and the lovely comment! Merry Christmas! -Rob

[@MetaManGamingTM]

@@PlayStationAccess Merry Christmas Robert S Person, you sly devious devil you. I'll speak for everyone when I say we are all on edge waiting to see how the Christmas Maze ends this year! And I know I'm rooting for you this year. Don't give them so much extra time this year mate!

[@HandsomeSexyBiGuy]

A reply from Rob? Surely that's some kind of an irl trophy you've earned.

[@iamdemostenes9316]

I hope next year they do the ‘The Legend of the Lost Episode’ episode where the team get to do the same task and another chance to succeed (or fail).

[@MetaManGamingTM]

I agree! That sounds like a great idea that I would definately watch!

[@chriszarb1812]

I hope they do it in January in one of the first post-Maze streams :D

[@amakky1989]

Sorry I don’t get it. How’s the episode lost when they had it uploaded? Or was it still an episode yet to come?

[@rockutron9000]

Wow, I thought Rosie had that one at the end, good fake out with the editing. That freeze frame on everyone's expressions had me rolling.

[@fmilton20]

Especially when it zoomed to Robert grinning from ear to ear LOL!!!

[@Duckiman]

Same here. I was thinking Rosie had hustled Rob into agreeing to give up 2 baubles. 😂😂😂

[@rockutron9000]

@@fmilton20 That was the best part!

[@DefinitelyNotReal627]

Rob looks like he's having so much fun. Genuinely elevates the series having him so in character.

[@jb17415]

“Now for a dramatic retelling” *me, leans forward in seat excitedly “THEY LOST” 😂😂😂

[@scottlil01]

I was on the edge of my seat on that last attempt, that was an incredible effort. Robert S. Pearson was right in his closing remarks that Rosie had earned respect for that.

[@user-hi4sm3ig5j]

The record scratch and freeze frames were perfect. So unlucky after a great performance from Rosie on the final attempt.

[@leeeorama]

I think that was so effective because of how often Rosie has pulled out a miracle at the last possible moment before!

[@biriteca27]

It's a good thing the lost episode wasn't yesterday's. I would have not believe anyone made it to solitude if I hadn't watch it myself

[@iamshikhersrivastava]

14:50 Rob saying 'I love Christmas' sounded like Palpatine saying 'I love democracy' :P

[@darkslayer709]

Ahh such a shame the episode is lost, you guys put so much work into the content you create and it must be really disheartening when something like this happens. Loved the intro though, nice you can still see the humour in it (though I bet there were some not so kind words said around the office at the time, haha!)

[@shawnsmith4692]

Yeah think of how many hours went into that. From the planning, to the filming, to the editing. I wanna cry just thinking about it.

[@leeeorama]

I was hoping it was a bit, but alas! It does explain the "sausage making" that Dave and Ash talked about in the last livestream though.

[@NormanReaddis]

Hope it'll be found in the future.

[@blinkavadude]

Robert S Pearson leaning in during a high tension moment with an evil grin " I love Christmas " - brilliant 😂

[@mattmartin3063]

Whilst Christmas isn't my most favourite time of the year, I can't begin to explain how amazing this series is. I love this set up and am binge watching previous years in-between these episodes. Great work guys and can't wait for next event to see you all again. Merry Christmas all 🎅 🎄

[@stephendonovan5056]

It cannot be understated how good the Christmas Maze is! I loved it last year and I’ve been coming in from work and watching each episode whilst have my tea. Thank you Robert S. Pearson for this!

[@rextitan]

I cannot express quite how excited I get hearing the Christmas maze intro music. It brings a smile to my face every single time I hear it.

[@Enselladus]

14:45 That really made me laugh. I think this is what Robert S. Pearson does throughout the rest of year, just goes up to random strangers in pubs, shopping centres, parks, leans in towards them and says "I love Christmas... do you love Christmas?".

[@lapislarka]

It is a shame we lost an episode, but that dramatic retelling was absolutely perfect. Never change, Robert S. Pearson!

[@gtro4520]

How Dan kept a straight face and the camera still while Ash was (w)rapping is beyond me! 😂

[@jackandjeffhardy5765]

ok whoever was editing this my hats off to you. the editing made it so much funnier and intense 🤣😎👍

[@mithlond78]

This series is becoming Robert S Pearson saying “I should have given them less time” periodically throughout the episodes 😂

[@mikaze97]

I was working so hard on the last weeks that I was unable to watch the episodes on each release day like I do every year. Still so glad I'm able to watch them in one go, one after the other. So fun to watch !! Thanks so much for the content, The Access team is the best 😁😁 Also amazing design for the Chrismas-maze logo with the hat and the pocket watch. Great job to the one who dit it ! 👍

[@mr.stealyourjams]

Seen so many rude comments and just wanted to say, don’t let them get you guys down. You’re all hilarious and great entertainers and we love your content. These people just seem salty and looking for reasons to be Karen’s. Keep doing what you’re doing, you guys rock. ❤

[@Dollightful]

Rosie actually looks like some kind of Soulsborne character all wrapped up like that.

[@crossleyrob]

Oh man they must have been absolutely gutted they lost an episode but the show goes on, and what a show!

[@sarads7877]

Noooo we missed out on an episode where the group failed 😭 that’s tragic

[@meglarramarquez3147]

ROSIE!!! YOU DID REALLY GREAT!! Crystal-smhistal, that run was AMAZING!!

[@alanw9620]

Will we ever find out what the challenge was in the lost episode? Or will it be saved maybe for a redo at the end or maybe early next year? If not I hope we still some sort of bonus episode Maybe Robert S Pearson could try win a crown in fall guys? :)

[@tennesseetuba68]

I'm enjoying the absolute heck out of the Christmas Maze this year. Excellent work all around guys!

[@chodeyfoster3555]

The random shots of Rob just sitting or drinking his Coke were taking me out🤣

[@burrito4332]

Excuse me, Robert S. Pearson is parched from so much malevolent laughter

[@mayhemmcfly4229]

He needs to be drinking it out of a cognac glass, giving it a swirl periodically before sips.

[@stevehiggins2058]

I love the cutaways to rob always some well timed humor I'm sure it's far too late as all the episodes have probably been shot but missing his smegal bits well done all

[@RPGgems]

Really sorry that the work you did on that episode was lost, but the dramatic retelling was so vivid I felt like I was there 😂 Thank you!

[@BeardedScotsman86]

Wasn't very surprised at the outcome considering the intro of each episode highlights how much wrapping paper Rosie was going to be covered in

[@socraticgambler]

The camera work this year with the zooms and cuts has been absolutely next level.

[@Jrstryker15]

Robert S Pearson with the excellent Palpatine impression: "Do it!"

[@DarknessDust]

Festive ViscelRosie! That was amazing! Really thought she had it that last time, what a run, even wrapped up!

[@Jelcinpapa]

Dude that scratch sound though 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Rose, you're THE GOAT ❤️❤️❤️

[@mauricioradiobrera]

41:00 that's gold my friends! Kuddos to the editor for that marvelous little moment.

[@darrenconnolly8858]

Something about the way the music kicked in when Robert S Pearson was describing today's challenge was so EPIC 😂👏 also Rosie all wrapped is a top tier access moment.

[@brycestrife5605]

I LOVE these. Every year it's too fun. Thank you.

[@paullatham8486]

Came for the challenge... stayed for the indepth olive reviews 🧐

[@tennesseetuba68]

Underrated comment

[@leeeorama]

The cheese survey was great too, although I thought Rob was vegan? Although maybe British vegan is different from American vegan.

[@redsfanatic25]

The record scratch and freeze frame on everyone's faces was gold.

[@iamthejolson]

I'm sorry a BLOODBORNE challenge!? No wonder I keep coming back to this channel

[@QaDri93]

All these great games being featured again makes me wanna play them all over again

[@willmc55555]

Whoever edited this, thank you for 53:55-54:03

[@grdixon83]

Have a Merry Christmas & an awesome New Year, Access team!! 🎉🎈🍻🥂🎆🎇🎆🎇👍🏻

[@ImMagnetz]

Rosie is so cracked. Those last couple of attempts at Papa Gaz were super well done. I will be seeing fully-wrapped Rosie in my nightmares tonight though.

[@HandsomeSexyBiGuy]

The Infestive Mauler!

[@bizzleblue38]

Rosie has officially become Parappa the Christmas Wrapper

[@erikohman2294]

Absolutley wonderful once more. Imagine all the work put in to a lost episode, and then just giving us that dramatic retelling.Thats respect right there! I wonder if any of the imagery from the intro is from the lost episode. Such sweet mystery.

[@diskonectid1]

Rosie, that last run was incredible. Your parry timing was fantastic and chaining the viscerals was an excellent move. There's no shame in being a total badass. Hope you all have a great holiday.

[@christianstephens2752]

If ever a list is made about the top 10(or 7) Christmas Maze episodes, this one gets #1 spot.

[@sisulart]

So near and yet so far. Rosie was killing it with the stuns and visceral's on the last attempt but then Gazza did what Gazza does after the transformation and didn't give her a moments peace.

[@heavyfn2236]

It was an absolutely amazing effort by Rosie on this one! Thanks for putting this together. I'm looking forward to the other episodes :)

[@marcusts1990]

I actually love this series every Xmas

[@aisforannihilation1662]

Ridiculously wrapped up Rosie rallies but is derailed from rambunctiously rising to the occasion. 🤣

[@reginaldh2079]

Rob would legit be brilliant as a TV host but very grateful we have him on here.

[@TheToastedGamer]

I love it when he said "i should have set the timer to 45min"😄love this series guys:)

[@zanzibarwhite-]

A brand new legendary Christmas character. "Rosie the Christmas Mummy".

[@SlyRatchet4]

That freeze frame at the end was a work of art. 😹 Brilliant episode! 😸

[@randomness051]

Rosie did great as always. I feel like Rosie always has the most pressure put on her and is expected to perform, something that isn't expected of the other members as much. I think you should stop being so hard on yourself Rosie, we all know how skilled you are. However you do in the challenges is fine! =]

[@ryanwood8453]

This was such a good challenge, made me pick up Bloodborne again! You guys are great and the series so far has been excellent and it's very unfortunate about the episode being lost. p.s. managed to do the challenge, all be it without the added pressure of the situation.

[@fudroysmith7948]

I love this series! Been watching since it was nath and dave being silly. I look forward to it every year!

[@Asbjoorn]

This was an awesome challenge. Well done Robert S Pearson!

[@edwardpinto1544]

For me the best episode of the Christmas Maze Series! Amazing. Thanks Access❤

[@Modest_Melodies]

Imagine if Rosie just strolled in and did the stair cheese

[@shugaroony]

Haha, masterful editing at the point of realisation its all over!

[@JayNotion]

The last run at Gascoigne is any souls game in a nutshell. You get your best run, Viscerals and all then the boss catches you in a tuft of grass on the map and goes super sayan 🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

[@Demented_Space]

I watched this while wrapping my Christmas presents. So much fun! 🙂

[@dannymacray]

Robert S. Pearson is such an amazing heel!

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

"Is Rob eating something or is he fiddling with that pocket watch?" "He's probably eating his watch." 😂😂

[@warrenbeer2737]

54:02 Rob’s face, brilliant! 😂😂

[@datarez]

That record scratch to freeze frame was the best. 🤣

[@samtaurus007]

Remember Richard O'Brien with his harmonica on the Crystal Maze?. I think Robert S. Pearson should have (and play) the kazoo. :)

[@chriszarb1812]

If I'm being honest I was thinking (and hoping) the intro was part of the script, but oh well, all's forgotten with such a well-thought-out episode and a valiant effort by Rosie :D Wonder what the challenge was though 😁

[@shinKOTSU1]

When the music played towards the end, I honestly thought Rosie was gonna succeed like she did in Stormy Ascent.

[@1upJeCK]

When it cuts to robs face at the end!🤣😂🤣😂

[@wozgog]

Don’t worry Rosie, Robert S Pearson would still be pinned down by that gunner if you lot hadn’t helped him

[@MumonguGaming]

Oh Rob, you should of said "and that's a WRAP, everyone" at the end

[@BTHEINFINITE]

GREAT ATTEMPT ROSIE, YOU WERE KILLIN THE PARRY ON THAT LAST ATTEMPT, unfortunately the father pulled that cheapness at the end, I was convinced you had it!! I love this series amazing job everyone!!

[@DreadedVikingPenguin]

Amazing effort! That parry streak was so good.

[@Red-eq9rk]

Last year that background music would have given away that they succeeded, but now...

[@burrito4332]

Not gonna lie, that little Dee Dee King-style rap was pretty good for an improv lol. The Christmas Maze is by far my favorite holiday series. Also superb edits on the video haha. And the costume is incredible!! Great stuff guys.

[@jmace2424]

I was thinking the “Big Pig” Lion King reference at the same time as Robert S. Pearson! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ramulus694]

I appreciated that strong stinky bishop joke Dave

[@SimiCantStandYaBits]

Cant wait for the series to return 🙌

[@sirprintalot]

I bet the 'lost episode' will play into the Christmas Maze later on, like the ghost of Christmas Past or something? Robert S Pearson is all about the storytelling!

[@TSOmac]

The SFX outbursts were brilliant! 🤣52:03.

[@RazeedPip]

Robert S Pearson is the true meaning of Christmas.

[@TheCaptaincannibus]

Rosie is now dubbed The Christmas Knight Rosielaire!

[@sonicrules666]

Loving these videos, thanks for this content, Rosie is a hell of a gamer for sure, fantastic effort on old Gazza (some British people call him that after Paul Gascoigne the famous football/soccer player). It was hilarious hearing people trying to say Gascoigne too when the game released and they didn't know. Here's to a remaster and more great content from you guys, hugs for Rosie and applause for all of you

[@verselines]

those early deaths while unlocking the shortcuts really did her in. would definitely have made it if she had a couple more chances.

[@aimeeward5913]

Merry Christmas everyone 🎉

[@BissjeTommy]

What a great episode of THE CHRISTMAS MAZE with Robert S. Pearson!

[@ecothunderbolt257]

I been rewatching these. My flex on Rob here assuming I was the player would be to do fresh restart, grab the Violent Past background and rush to the first lantern without a weapon. Then go back and get the Hunter Axe. I'd be able to beat Gascoigne way faster with the Axe personally. That's me though. I have like 1000 hours in Bloodborne (I've spent far too many hours there)

[@arthurbrandonnielsen]

There's got to be some kind of twist to the Lost Episode.

[@neargrog685]

Or it had to be cut due to screaming profanities 😂

[@arthurbrandonnielsen]

@@neargrog685 I'm now reminded that we still don't know what Ash did from the Tuesday Checklist about devious stories.

[@amberanime]

If this is technicaly episode 5, does that mean we will have one day less to enjoy an episode on or will we get a replacement episode of some kind?

[@paullatham8486]

Ikr! Christmas is ruined!! 😭😭 Im sure these other episodes will be soo good that it'll make up for it 😉

[@amberanime]

@@paullatham8486 Tone is hard to read sometimes so forgive me if I am misunderstanding you, but I never implied christmas would be ruined due to one less episode. I'm not demanding anything. I wont be angry or upset if there isn't a replacement episode. I was just curious and thus asking if they did have some replacement episode planned because then I know to plan that into my own to watch schedual because this team is such a joy to watch so I wouldn't want to miss it if that where the case. As for making up for things. Technicaly the other episodes are probably the exact same with or without the lost episode, so they aren't making up for anything. Thats not how making up for things work. Not that team acces needs to make up for anything. Just pointing out that making up for something usualy means you do something extra to make up for something thats missing/gone wrong/different. The episodes being awesome isn't something extra they did after the loss of an episode. They would have been/are awesome either way. So in theory the episodes being awesome can not make up for the lost episode. Just some technicalities. Meanwhile I look foreward to the remaining episodes with great joy. If something extra is done to make up for the lost episode awesome. If not no problem. I am sure I will be content with all the good times ahead. Which is probably what you ment as well. That one more or less episode isn't going to ruin anything and we will have a great time regardless. So I believe we may actualy be on the same page as again I never implied anything less with my question. I was simply asking if they still planned to do their original release schedual, or if they will do one day less so I can take that into account when planning in may days. Cheers, and have an amazing christmas!

[@SGOrion86]

It’s a shame they lost the episode, but that introduction by Rob was better than any episode so far 🤣🤣

[@WillSloan21]

Rosie looked like a festive Scooby Doo villain all wrapped up! 😂

[@jasongentry6595]

Rosie becoming the new Christmas Riddler was the most entertaining of these so far

[@Darkfiretiger]
