The PUBG Pacifist Christmas Challenge: PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD LOOT TO ALL

[@TardisPilot2004]

That intro was wonderful Johnny!

[@m.edwardmcnally6802]

I'm certain there were people in those buildings at the end of Highton's run, thinking, "My god... the blue circle of death has been replaced by one guy in a buggy driving a spiral."

[@jigjiggles7243]

Twas the night before Christmas, with all on the couch, Aoife snuck in her bush, turning Chris into a grouch Ian toured all the vehicles feeling quite smug, While Johnny rammed kasiheev in the other boat, who just wanted a hug.

[@elbentzo]

This video was absolutely brilliant, and Ian's run might just be the best thing I've ever seen. Merry Christmas everybody! Oh, and btw - Johnny, when the counter shows 45 and you die, you will be at 45th position, not 46th, because the counter also counts you. Meaning, it will immediately drop to 44 and you will finish 45th. Think of a scenario where the counter shows 2 (just you and another player left in the game), and then you die. The counter drops to 1 and you finish second.

[@madness1931]

Audio went is a little off at 41:21, it's sorted at 45:20

[@oywiththewaywardtardis]

Madness1 thank you - I was coming to the comments to point out that it was wonky and it’s nice to know I only have to sit thru a couple minutes of it.

[@kate1361]

Was just coming here to see if this happened to anyone else or if it was time for me to buy some new headphones 😂 glad my headphones are alright!

[@ashleysmith1276]

Sounds demonic!

[@nemesisre309]

thanks brah

[@emmapringle6136]

yeah it was a bit echoey

[@JohnnyRocket92]

I wonder if after this pacifist run, Ian becomes some sort of PUBG legend to the people that were playing with him

[@DaveLaw73]

You guys have been killin' it (apart from this stream, obvs) this year. Glad tidings of comfort and jorts.

[@nicholascross3557]

Ian Higton channeling Road Runner, which went much better than his usual, which is channeling Wyle E. Coyote... Merry Christmas to all at Eurogamer, merry Christmas to all in the comments, and to everyone a happy new year. \o/

[@bitgod]

I about died from laughter when Ian laid down in front of the jeep.

[@Jillbles]

Morning, guys. That was lovely, Johnny. Happy holidays. Thanks for another year of great content. :-)

[@DreadWulfie]

I got directed here from the Oxtra Fortnite pacifist video. I genuinely screamed out loud when that player appeared at the door on Johnny's turn.

[@fkcz76_whisperer]

At the end I loved the three shocked faces plus one v smug. Fabulous!

[@GabrielKnightz]

Oh murder bush, Oh murder bush, You served Aoife well till she got rushed.

[@GabrielKnightz]

ambushed* :)

[@OptionalZero]

Totally worth watching that WHOLE video for such a classic ending! Well done.

[@AnActualDinosaur]

Y'all are lovely people, happy holidays to everyone in Eurogamer!

[@megalomaniacs4u]

Ian obviously only plays to annoy Aoife

[@nightcatarts]

Is it still a murderbush if it's incapable of killing? Perhaps a concilliation copse?

[@Smonster42]

Did no one notice that Chris was driving through bushes in the hopes of killing people?

[@liamtunmore4709]

It's been a year and I still think of this intro every time I hear a Christmas song :)

[@samjam64]

You don't add 1 to get your final position Johnny... Felt bad for Ian accepting he was wrong when he wasn't!

[@captaincokecan]

Merry christmas! Heres's to another new year of Jorts, beards, lovely jumpers. and the unending vengeful wrath of Aoife upon her enemies

[@fredslipknot9]

What a beautiful video. I love johnny carolling at the beginning.

[@PrimeGlaz]

1:01:52 when everyone looks at the guy for a solid 2 seconds then jumps.

[@GabrielKnightz]

Dear Team Eurogamer, Thank you :) thank you for all the videos that made me smile and laugh through out the years, even on days i found it hard to. Merry Christmas :) and a Happy New Year.

[@KatsMeyow]

And so the chosen one is yet again blessed for his unshaking faith.

[@ollie4354]

My best Christmas present was the original PlayStation. I cried with joy. It came with Rayman, Street Racer and Total Drivin' and it still works now. They don't make them like they used to.

[@Hogscraper]

hahaha Aoife so jelly. Great job Ian!

[@DarioRuellan]

Reminds me on one of the Dayz mod servers, an admin was roaming the map on a bus, inviting players to take a tour. Even players initially shooting at the bus were willing to accept the invitation.

[@canisqmajoris]

I really only come here for the musical interludes

[@chloe.imogen]

watching this on Christmas Eve, cosied up in bed with my twinkle lights on, and I'm 100% content. Happy holidays, Eurogamer! thank you for providing that happy Christmas feeling all year round!

[@lewisbrown9595]

The mics go really echoey at about 42 minutes in

[@MentatOfDune]

Aoife is so competitive and her face is priceless with the loss :)

[@Titoichi1986]

I don't think it's the loss I'm sure it's because Ian's recklessness

[@AndieIsACookie]

I think I almost had a heart attack towards the end there watching Ian skirt around the danger zone. I think I need a lie down to get my heart rate back under control. Also, lovely song, Johnny!

[@PaleandPastey]

Amazing. Every run was great, but Ian’s was the Christmas Miracle we all were wishing for.

[@tap10lan]

That was such fun, and Ian, the grace, the grace!

[@nerdherder9340]

lovely singing

[@Steve-YT383]

The angelic angels were singing "Iiiiiiaaaaaan" for twenty-seven and a half minutes 😅

[@backudog]

"Ian survives on whimsy" well obviously it's not talent! Never been talent. 😂

[@LunaArgentum10]

Laughed pretty much non-stop through all of the bush jokes section

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Aoife to Ian: "Don't do anything silly!" What, like doing a "no guns, no fighting" run in PUBG? Seriously though, this looks like a lot more fun than doing it the usual way.

[@GabrielKnightz]

Freeze frame at 01:18:06 it's like a renaissance painting of Team Eurogamer.

[@Jimberrley]

Oh pubg bush oh pubg bush. How good you are for hiding.

[@cephalopodsquids]

So when does the Eurogamer album come out? I mean the bush song was brilliant.

[@torenielsen9993]

Woo! Congrats to the winner. That was almost spiritual, trusting in the cosmos like that.

[@cheetosortiz2783]

That was actually very entertaining! Ian, you the man!

[@bltn7469]

54:43 she didnt get her own joke , but they sure did

[@nymalous3428]

31:00 I can't believe I didn't think of it before, but this reminds me of the Monty Python public service film: How Not To Be Seen... of course, Aoife has passed the first lesson, but she has picked a fairly obvious place to hide...

[@chileanzombie42]

That song will never be the same, love it. Wearing bras in the rain.

[@GoGameYourselfVideos]

Merry Christmas guys and well done to Ian for his chaos theory car run.

[@thecastawaydc]

I've not watched someone sitting in a bush this long since my student days...I was more drunk then though, so this is the longest sober bush watch I've done

[@stevemalone3781]

OXboxTra used PUBG in their Xmas challenge tie breaker. Boy does Eurogamer have a lot to teach them in PUBG :) Looking forward to some new year collab vids!!!

[@SbVl15lv]

Hope you release these lovely christmas carols in Spotify or iTunes

[@ashleysmith1276]

The best PUBG vid yet!

[@nymalous3428]

27:45 Ian talks about a player in a car just deciding to drive over every bush in the field while Aoife is hiding in one... next day, as people drive across the landscape in PUBG, they drive through all bushes as a matter of course, just to make sure they kill all those who try to win by default, like Aoife. (Nothing against Aoife, or the tactic, just pointing out how tactics evolve in games like this.)

[@backudog]

Schmoopinton moment was genuinely scary! 😂 was like Jason / Freddy or Michael myers appearing!

[@thesarge7732]

1:21 where Ian's going, he doesn't need roads 😀

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Wooow. Merry Christmas to you all!

[@dribblesbarbax7570]

We all have that one friend like Ian.

[@MrTomFTW]

Ian talking about wanting to play the new map is totally immersion breaking :)

[@LordRefa]

Ian.. The Man, The Legend... The Whimsy.

[@donemu9096]

Johnny's limerick game is ice cold

[@Johnny90M]

Please make a Eurogamer Christmas album. Would give me another excuse to watch/listen to you guys :D

[@morbid1.]

man... I want that frostmourne :F

[@ollie4354]

Also, your collective resolution for the new year needs to be to warp Chris to the extent where he's comfortable saying "Tight bush" and the title of the new South Park game.

[@HockeyRup]

I'm livin' in a bush, I'm living in murder bush. A very Merry Bushmas to one and all. Thanks for the escape from family arguments and a manic nephew with a nerf gun.

[@HockeyRup]

Think Miramar is where Top Gun is set.

[@TheBwinfrey]

A full ish bar of energy or pain killers give u both heal and a speed boost

[@KuroiYuki88]

Merry Christmas, folks! Thanks for the laughter!!

[@adrianzaslona]

Love that sea shanty, Johnny

[@crows2808]

Start with caution, end with madness. And the best method wins.

[@SkeletorTG]

Brendan Greene may not bless you Ian, but I have. Merry Christmas Eurogamer!

[@RobertPayne556]

The car sounded like the entire Go-Kart race from Bin Weevils. That air though.

[@vivian4329]

ian is my spirit animal. that was delightful.

[@kendon81]

.......damn it out christmas shopping and miss this going up.

[@jvwriter9028]

And the bush has got to be larger enough to hide.

[@lordlucas3898]

Ian won Christmas tee-hee

[@jongarrad5647]

A slow clap for Sergeant Sausage. Question though... would Ian throw in the challenge for a shot at a Christmas Chicken Dinner?

[@k.d.koenigsdrache65]

Slenderman with guns. Man what a jump scar.

[@emmapringle6136]

the reaction was about five seconds after Chris died

[@KanePollastone]

Hey anyone know how they got that cool looking title menu?

[@quuhod]

Have a great holiday you lovely lot!

[@endorbr]

Cinematic Murder Bush!

[@CaporegimeMarcus]

21:36... I cried laughing XD

[@alexnamtvedt2252]

Take a christmas eggnog shot for every time they say “bush”! Merry Christmas everybody ❤️

[@Jillbles]

Aaand I'm dead.

[@madness1931]

Never mind Undertale, this is the true Pacifist challenge.

[@heydukewhatup]

God rest ye merry gentlemen Let's have some hunkin fun Players announce our savior His real name is Brendan There are 99 players getting whittled down to one Oh glad tidings of bad puns and joy Bad puns and joy Oh tiding of bad puns and joooooyyyy Thank you johnny.

[@KaNawogirusa]

[@drsyn9136]

[@colbecresseed3698]

[@MrAmbientSuprise]

[@joeyarambula2805]

Holy shit I was in that match I saw him XD that jerk out live me

[@newinhuman]

you learn to play much easier this way...

[@GrimoireOfJank]

It looks like aoife doesnt have a nose half the time

[@jynskywalker501]

If any of you wish to play pubg on the go, look up rules of survival in the App Store!

[@backudog]

Jyn Skywalker been playing that for a bit, really good for a mobile PUBG!

[@jaredmclaughlin5256]

Doesn't the number alive include yourself?
