Loincloth Rob has to become a staple of the channel. Take turns creating different challenges for him to do in Skyrim, he keeps the same Loincloth Rob character save and is allowed to level up and pick up weapons but...he must remain in the loincloth at all times.

[@vtolxpatriot]

Rob's Friday Feature is the whole reason I started watching PlayStation Access. Our favorite games are so much alike. I loved seeing all the Christmas mazes and the content of this channel evolve. All of you do a great job, keep up the great work!

[@Athelforth]

Rob is a class act, and hats off to him for performing as well as he did during this revenge stream. Personally felt the challenges were a little on the harsh side but he dealt with it well. Congrats and thanks for all the quality content guys, looking forward to this year!

[@matthewl5919]

Absolutely crying laughing at the teaspoons of butter. "We could be here all day...there has to be a limit." My absolute favorite channel on KZbin these days - don't ever change, guys.

[@Becktastic01]

A big thanks to everyone in the chat who always look to encourage by stating that the level is not that difficult. It's always so heartwarming and helpful to be reminded.

[@backgroundtom4589]

Watching this reminds me of Top Gear - the subject matter only exists as a reason to see the interaction between the presenters. Love it all guys

[@jayjayson9613]

Spot on! Shows you how important chemistry between the crew is. The PS Access team works so well together, so jolly.

[@mayhemmcfly4229]

So when RSP was _finally_ defeated in the Christmas Maze, I assume he quaffed a Phoenix Down to revive himself, but the 'evil' was _AWARE OF THE SITUATION_ and found a new 'host' body? 🤔

[@iantophernicus6042]

I love this theory. It means that Rob and Rosie both never meant for it to get so out of hand, but the lingering presence spurred them on to their mutually assured destruction. The presence cared not for who it pitted against the other. All it craved was the beauty of chaos.

[@woteveruk1]

i have a different theory, in one of the xmas maze episodes i think it was 9 or 10 we see the robert s pearson yet to come, the evil hasnt left him, he's simply hidden away somewhere while someone rebuilds him, makes him into the cybernetic madman we saw in that episode, then there will be no stopping him,

[@Modest_Melodies]

This is the headcannon

[@troygreen3272]

A whole stream dedicated to thanking Rob for being amazing...I can dig it.

[@jb17415]

Evil Rosie: “MUAHAHA fail at my fiendish challenges!” Rosie 10 seconds later: “c’mon Rob you can do it!” 😂 Rosie is such a gem

[@jayjayson9613]

Rosie is too pure of a heart.

[@woteveruk1]

considering over the years they have done xmas maze robert s pearson has showed a surprising amount of mercy to the team, giving them extra time, giving them extra chances, they really showed him no mercy, he had no team, got no extra time no second chances, didnt get to make deals like ash getting extra time for each bowl of gruel she ate, this was entertaining, and it was great, but i think they may have been a little too harsh

[@nickhamblin8179]

1:50:06 I think I broke Rob - I regret nothing 😜

[@BissjeTommy]

I gotta say, I´ve been watching Access for years now, but especially in the last year and during the Christmas Maze 2022 I´ve grown to love this channel and all the faces there. Love the crew!

[@jpjordan90]

Dave will be eating a lot of butter next December

[@vivalariza]

Take it as a lesson Rob. Be brutal in the next Christmas Maze. BRUTAL!

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

Why? The Christmas Maze already looks too hard most of the time while in this video they were going way too easy on him.

[@bikramjitghosh7496]

@@vegashawk4066 It should have been, 2v1 atleast. Rosie with a 12 sec pause and Ash with 1. Having Dave also in the game was a really nice gesture, loved it so much but 3v1 was a really impossible task to achieve.

[@jamesmarkdrain]

Such a great livestream, can’t wait to see what you guys do on the channel this year 😁

[@bihls94]

I’m out of work sick today and this stream is exactly what the doctor ordered!!

[@arthurbrandonnielsen]

Loved watching the Christmas Maze this year (and rewatching the previous 2 seasons), and seeing Rob power his way through Skyrim like a BOSS. Looking forward to a whole new year of fun content, streaming shenanigans, and hopefully Season 4, with the triumphant return of the Gentlemen Supervillain of Access: Robert S. Pearson.

[@richmackenzie3285]

Hmmm a bald chap trying to get his hands on crystals.....Rob isn't far off becoming Dr Robotnik

[@GerikKnight76]

One of these years they should do the chocobo race in FF X for Tidus celestial weapon pice.

[@Lilrose1989]

This needs to be done 😂

[@madalice5134]

Or dodging lightening bolts. Even better, make them do the jump rope challenge from FF9. Rob can run Team Access through the challenges to get himself the platinum in his favorite games by proxy. 😈

[@CrazeeAdam]

FFX celestial weapon quests are generally brutal yeah. Not all of them. But most are obtuse and just down right brutal if you don't know what you're doing

[@stevebongiorno7047]

(2:05:53) "I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operrational... when your FRIENDS ARRIVE!"

[@trophyhunt4545]

Its so hard to go against Rob, Just love the guy too much to ever vote against him. You'll get em back Rob at the Christmas Maze 2023. We will all be waiting for that happy new year to all of you

[@garethconner1009]

She's definitely aware of the situation now

[@Gaias_guardian]

1:06:53 Loincloth Rob slipping in a cheeky LOTR quote that went straight over Rosie's head 😄😋

[@martynpotter21]

VOD squad Rob putting on the jacket as the Skyrim theme played in the background was glorious!

[@crystalp2312]

This was so fun! Thank you, Rob, Rosie, and Team Access! It was nice to see Rob challenged and being a good sport about it :)

[@HoodlumAmnesium]

She's not your Caddick, she's R' Caddick!

[@poeticgenetic1]

Rosies impersonation of Robert S Pearson is spot on! Had me laughing all the way through

[@simontravers2715]

Rosie suiting the whole attire. As she did the double-handed pose with the cane, I wouldn’t have been surprised if she quoted her brother “Aaaahh Spindley Johnny!” But elegantly instead of shocked. 🧐

[@Jedi_Chimp]

I think we all need to start a playthrough of Skyrim as 'Loincloth Rob' 🤣

[@ec65pl02]

Best contest hands down this year was Dave...somehow doing crypt of the Necrodancer on a triangle.......and everyone has to give ash....serious credit!!!...for doing it so well with no sound.....that game is hard as nails and the controls are synched to the audio.... Well done again master Robert.

[@CrazeeAdam]

That and the Pearson family visiting both made me laugh so hard.

[@ec65pl02]

@@CrazeeAdam Rob nailed that segment. Uncle was my favorite.

[@simicantstandyabits1324]

Ahh I've missed these cozy livestreams. Looking forward to tomorrow. Hope everyone at access had a nice break.

[@mattyowls10]

The worst spyro challenges are in spyro 2 trying to follow agent zero in cloud temples, the flag thief in scorch and the alchemist in fracture hills 🙃

[@bryancadents3559]

I love how Rosie is challenging Rob to do these challenges, taunting him with Robert S. Pearson's attire... and then she says things like "I'd love it if you beat Dave's time." Rosie is the sweetest villain

[@Countvernus]

So glad you guys did this, I loved the christmas maze and got to say loin cloth rob was definetly one of the highlights 😂

[@sathyajithhv3330]

Ash to Access team - "how much should we make Rob suffer ?" Access team - "YES"

[@stargate1990]

lots of respect to Rob and anyone who streams challenges on games, its such a task to focus on the game and chat etc while staying composed!

[@OmegaZ21]

LOINCLOTH ROB!!!! Thank you this is like my 14th time having this playing in the background after I've watched it. Thank you for brightening everyone's day

[@CrazeeAdam]

Love that Rob proved you can make it with just the signs in Skyrim The funny thing Rob. Demons Souls is actually quite slow paced. Rushing things is not advised in the game

[@jb17415]

The butter has to be some sort of workplace health regulation violation lol. Good on Rob for eating as much as he did. I woulda thrown up

[@davidmartin9459]

I'm loving playstation access more every day. You lot really make me laugh. I love how Rosie tries to make robs failure feel better. Shes so nice ☺️,

[@lRomez]

Rosie is so cute. She’s too positive and nice to be like Robert S Pearson.

[@bernielomax5908]

Is Rosie aware of the situation?

[@RealBradMiller]

Rosie _is_ the situation.

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

It would be really funny if for the next Christmas Maze Robert S. Pearson walked in with just one boot, the jacket and the hat. XD

[@SomeKillerTofu]

After the purchases he became Robert Less Pearson 😂

[@danypatton1158]

Can't wait to watch when I get home from work!!!

[@MGP2210]

02:32:20 Rob's gone into Pingu mode 😆

[@metaltalon7631]

Rob is the best plus dave and ash are my 3 favorite acessmembers! i miss nath also lol

[@billybattery]

I outloud to myself said "gg rob" when he almost had the purple dragon and fell in the lava 😂😂

[@Kaiser8513]

The bottom button being undone actually depends on the purpose of the suit, a business suit is to be fully buttoned outside of a meeting, a sales suit you only ever do the top/middle button depending on if it is a 2 or 3 button blazer, and if you are wearing a more formal suit you can have it either way to say if you are feeling more casual or professionally focused.

[@Pulnosha]

You needed to get that sweet roly poly going for the tower knight challenge!

[@MaximusDru]

I really hope in the next Christmas Maze they commit to what happened here and Rob is only wearing the 1 boot his hat and jacket 😁

[@Mujiroo]

I really didn't like Rob eating the butter. It seems like a very silly forfeit.

[@LiamLivesOn]

What a fantastic stream to start the year!

[@Terragato]

That's a lot of butter! Robert S Pearson needs to get Dave back for that next Christmas maze!

[@evilregalmayor8719]

This is the best! Thank you!

[@hdgdjgsgfj1297]

Damn! They've switched places!

[@jadeindigo73]

I love this team so much. ❤

[@B.A.Killington]

Nice work access! Stick it to that Robert S Pearson. Just remember...I'm sure he's getting ideas for next year based on your challenges.

[@stalkermike]

I feel like someone was trying to fatten up Rob with that forfeit of the dice game.

[@the8wave]

Speaking of Spyro, I just recently watched Rosie’s brother do an in depth video review on every mainline Spyro game ever made for his celebration of 1 million subs.

[@briandaniel7514]

i think Rob gave the crew a late Christmas present by letting them win for once in the Maze this year lol... Congrats tho Dave, Rosie and Ash! i love watching yall especially during The Halloween and Xmas Maze competitions every year... cant wait for the One on Onesies hopefully

[@Jraice]

On a side note of the stream, the cane looks like a crested caracara. As an uneducated bird googler.

[@RealBradMiller]

You uneducated bird Googler!! Makes a funny insult.

[@troygreen3272]

Awesome live stream 😎 Loved being able to watch from start to end!

[@drushe1983]

I love how Rob almost dropped an F bomb at 1:48:31 but styled his way out of it beautifully

[@CrazeeAdam]

Lol Rob seeing the "it's not that difficult" comment was amazing And the absolute want to murder Nazim is great too XD

[@nowaz]

Rosie being the game master and being bossy to Rob is so cute aww.

[@kdm1980]

This just proves how much the rest of the team has no problem making hard challenges for Rob and how Rob goes way too easy on them during his challenges. Buckle down and make them cry next year Rob! Make them fear you again!!

[@Viscount_Buster]

For this years Christmas maze can we have loincloth Rob and each time the team lose a crystal Rob gets a piece of clothing back 😂

[@MrZotteltier]

Loved this! Also karma hit right in round 1? Dave and Ash just missed their challenges, when it was about beating some challenges (I recall Dave‘s fight in GoW Ragnarök) and Rob missed the first challenge by 0.01s? Awesome stuff :)

[@melvinsanchez2360]

I missed the live stream, but I'm watching it right now. Fantastic as always, thank you for this content, can't wait to seen what this year has in store for us all.

[@winters_rath8561]

Looking forward to next year’s Christmas maze: Revenge of Robert S Pearson.

[@thebossman222]

The Demon Souls fight was akin to the Monty Python foot coming down and squashing everyone instantly

[@lambsauce54]

Dave and Ash both need their own challenge maze

[@lolirot93]

"When wearing a suit, always leave the bottom button open for the waistcoat and jacket. The tradition dates back to King Edward VII from the early 1900s. He unbuttoned the bottom of his waistcoat because he was too fat. He unbuttoned the bottom of his jacket to pay homage to the riding jacket that suits replaced."

[@MasaKillzAll]

That ring took his health in soul form 🥺

[@aisforannihilation1662]

Man, Astros looks so clean! I don't have a PS5 yet. I am still on ps4. Looks incredible tho.

[@mdb9996]

Love the idea of the forfeit eating brandy butter, where if you can’t get Robert S Pearson to lose the challenges at least you can try to kill him off with diabetes or cardiac arrest! 😂

[@koroyosh6264]

Well the challangers are just crule... i hope rsp will get them back on the next christmas maze

[@MrJambola123]

Rob's gonna remember that butter lol

[@Holywarriorbskr]

Thanks guys for this great entertainment. Next Time Travel from glowing sea to Sanctuary and kill Preston Garvey in Fallout 4^^ Greatings from germany

[@raccoonpeddler6730]

robs not right playing ctr is like riding a bike you never forget i left the game for a year because i couldnt beat the times and came back to smash them all with better times that i ever had when i would play the game regularly

[@navtektv]

59:21 Wow they put Dynamite Dave and Nathan the Christmas Elf in Skyrim?

[@PokemonButcher]

Well played, Professor Juice 😎

[@XHAYLE_019]

2023 is the year of the crystals

[@NeroCrucible]

Why nobody told Rob the Dragons have to be shot from behind or else they block it

[@Amaritudine]

The real Soulsborne boss was the cravat we pronounced along the way! ...All joking aside, that was a fun and funny follow-up to the Christmas Maze, which was itself a highlight of the channel for 2022.

[@shixter]

I didn't know you were based in Bath! Cool!

[@chriszarb1812]

This channel is something else.

[@jonathancristobal164]

I love this channel

[@H20world]

I can think of no one on this planet I would rather have sitting as my copilot of support my first time playing through Demon Souls than Rosie and a livestream audience of Playstation Access fans. What an honor, Robert S. Pearson.

[@infring1]

awesome stream 😁

[@joegrimes9232]

I'm holing out for Easter Snake. Rosie and Ash, vs Rob and Dave as "support." The twin snakes.

[@esteban280889]

Love the Xmas Maze. Lots of good games coming in 2023 for XM4. Do we have any details around what the challenge was for the missing ep? Or saving it to be reused this year?

[@AJValentine]

This was fun to watch but the Demons Souls section was painful just with Robs Souls experience now... the fat rolling... oh the fat rolling 😭

[@marhawkman303]

I was actually pondering if wearing a loincloth would up his evasion enough to make it easier? :D

[@Rubix78]

You can cheese the tower knight and get the trophy for not killing any other enemy first. Takes some dodging and takes longer but it’s perfectly doable

[@outerentity]

nice jumper Rob!

[@sonicrules666]

I've got all From Software platinums including remasters and rereleases since Demon's Souls, it was the reason I got a ps5. You had the tower knight beat, that's what you do. Archers down, block the sword swipe or move back from the shield bash, run behind him and stay behind him, back off from the stomp and punish him for that, you actually had him beat Rob in terms of strategy. You're being a little harsh on yourself, in Souls games you have to learn to recognise progress even if it's tiny, he's not hard because you don't have to fight him front on, bosses like Flamelurker, Old Hero (route back to him) and Maneaters are WAYYYY worse to be honest. You have to have a degree of stubbornness and self belief to be good at Souls games, or else God like skills, I hope you can beat Tower Knight one day. I beat most of the bosses in the safest way possible without cheesing them, there are lots of strategies that don't rely on reflexes and brute skill like Sekiro. You might not believe you can, but I've seen you can do it, all you have to do is keep trying. You don't have to be that skillful to beat Souls games for the most part, you have to think, gather equipment, be persistent. You could really do with a bow, you can actually kill the Tower Knight with arrows or magic from above Rosie too for the archer challenge trophy

[@MGP2210]

These dice throws remind me of my desire to see the return of MJ Kefahuchi and Jimi Mutiny, in the Playstation access Cyberpunk ttrpg 🎲 🤗 Perhaps Axel Burke might even make an appearance??? Would love to see what characters Ash and Rosie take.

[@mrvoldis6688]

I think if Rob got a week and a list of the games to train a bit before it, no context as to what the challenge would be. Could of made the challenges more fun.

[@eyrebear]

Rob is going to have a very slippery poo tomorrow 😂
