LAN Party: MAN Party: Big Bear Episode 1 - NODE 

This is legit one of the most legendary series on youtube - miss this era

Anyone just watch this again from time to time?

I will still come back to watch this series at LEAST once a year, maybe more. This is literally my dream vacation. Just hanging out with the bois, having good food and drinks, and playing good games together. Especially if it was with a group like the Node bois, I couldn't think of a better time.

Anyone in 2024 still coming back to these videos?

This video is like a family reunion every time I see it. I miss the good ole days

i’m glad i’m not the only one that comes back and reminisces on the old node days. this is literally what i grew up on man. i aspired to be just like these guys one day and they were my role model. its sad what the channel is now knowing what it could’ve been. miss these bois they will forever be one of my inspirations.

This and the PC building video are my favorite videos on the internet

I always come back to this - I was in middle school when this came out and now I’m graduating college. These guys inspired me all the way.

another big bear marathon would we amazing! please please

This Big Bear series gives me a level of comfort that I can't quite explain. Maybe its the outdoor vibes, the snow on the ground, the skiing, the airsoft...I can't fully explain it but, I come back to this series all the time. It never gets old for me.

i’m glad I got to experience this series when i was young. miss these guys

Jake looks so young here.

Man its so sad to never see Freddie, Brandon, and a lot of these Guys in the videos anymore. RIP LanParty, It would be the best revival if they all got together for one more weekend like this.

17:25-Left side Brandon... "Hmm what's in the fridge... Ah Ha! A beer!" xD Love these guys!

Here in August of 2024. Thank GOD Benji won that hand, I was worried they were gonna give the win to Dez with his lesser straight. I remember watching these when I was in high school. Now I’m 27, and miss the good days of RU-vid. Shit like this. Freddie, Niko, Brandon, Sam, Jimmy, Benji, Dez, Spencer, Clint, Jake, Brett, Wren, thank you all for the videos throughout the years. Aside from Spencer whom I’m not familiar with, the other 11 have all shown up in RocketJump or Node videos since 2011 and legitimately made my life better as a result. RocketJump, Node and Roosterteeth were like the only 3 channels I followed full time between 2011-2020. These guys all rock, and watching these videos is like watching a bunch of OGs in their prime. Thank you, for all the smiles, and I hope one day we get these again

Throwback to when they all looked like children lmao. Now half of them are dads. Time flies when you're having fun.

Its been 3 years and I'm still wondering what happened to the others during the finale poker match

DARE ME TO DO SOMETHING AGAIN! DO IT! DO IT! AND WATCH ME COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE! LIKE A CHAMPION!

Man, I was 13 when this came out, a decade has come and gone. I know it feels special because of the time I was watching, but it reminds me how much these guys have formed the person that I have become today.

Watching this makes me feel like I have friends.

Just noticed that the editing on the poker part must've been really, really hard

goodness gracious that finale and exit was and will always be priceless XP benji had so many good quotable moments in this video they all need to do this again

Back here in 2024. And the Node intro music, the vibe of 2013 and the dream team in Big Bear... sigh good times.

"WHERE'S THE STRIP CLUB!!" -The words of the happiest man alive

Been watching this every year, for 10 years

You guys need to do this again! Haven't seen a man party (non-airsoft) in a while!

Still the best series on this channel

It's tradition to watch this every year

They labeled brandon and brett "B" and "Br" each abbreviation could work for the both of them

6:56 when you label screens with initials, but Brandon and Brett both start with Br

I come to this series to watch every years and I love it.

You could say that weekend was dude heavy.

Watching from 2020 and still one of the best poker tournaments ever played.

12:20 why jake won with combination Q9Q9J when Spencer had Straight KQJT9 ?

Easily one of my favorite youtube videos

Its 2020 and how the times change. I remember when this video was uploaded ahh what a time. At the time i had no worries in the world no pandemic no rent... life was good

"Where's the strip club!?" Was literally the best ending :')

Watching this a little over a year in Covid, I’m sad

Really sets up the plot for the rest of the node arc

I come back and watch these every year! 12:21 how did Spencer not win with a straight over Jake's three of a kind?

4:53 Brandons just like: "You looking at something?"

Bengi "Where's the strip club!"

Aye yo there’s other people rewatching this and feeling nostalgic lol, we should all get together and go to big bear

I laughed so hard wen the guy won.

Back for my yearly pilgrimage

23:04 Truer words have never been spoken. Seriously tho, Benji is hilarious xD

man 5 years later im still lovin this.

anyone else here ? miss this

was jimmy wearing a Hawks jersey??? my good sir i fucking salute you and all that you stand for

Bring Big Bear Back 2024!

all these year later i still find myself watching this a few times.

3 years later and i still don't know how play poker.

Holy crap! Games Dean is part of NODE!

Any one notice that around 12:20 then they say that Jake won the poker hand that Spencer actually should have won ?

Some of the most soothing and nostalgia filled videos for me is the man party series and a lot of the early node stuff same goes for VGHS

I love Benji!

Anyone watching in 2022?

Will Big Bear S2 include D and D&D?

I miss this Era man, can't believe it was like 8 years ago. It feels like I first watched these only a few years ago sometimes.

I LOVE THE CABIN I WANT IT

709.65, just a wild guess

This is almost a year ago why is everyone still commenting the prices?

It's great soo see your channel evolving over the years. You have stepped up your game! So cool to see you guys still making cool videos.

Ahhh... if only I knew how to play poker then I would know what's happening...

Freaking Benji, "Time for the strip club!"

Just rename this "back when we were broke and awkward"

RU-vid recommended me this. Never watched this series back in the day. I can only hope I'll have a chance to spend time like this with my friends. Also wild to hear the guesses for the price of the groceries back then. It'd be awesome to see a get together on the channel again!

i wish i was in node club

Anybody from 2019? just me? K

When will big bear 2 happen?

i remember seeing this for the first time and fucking loving it, and im rewatching it now and still do. I'm sure others will agree with me that you guys gotta do this again.

Miss this shit man, I'm glad I refound you guys

I love how that little vain that pops out of benji's neck when he is doing his speech.

Hey D, what are the chances we’ll ever get a big bear reunion? I still can’t believe it’s been so long, I remember watching these in high school.

I remember watching this when they first released this series. Literally a dream vacation!

23:19 "We're upgrading our cable package." Best line ever, lol.

This is by far my favorite series of nodes

This is how long EVERY Lan Party and Man Party episode should be!

"for all you math blasters at home, that's 27" omfg that was hilarious

Nearly 10 years ago since this legendary video was given to the people.

Still one of my favorite Node videos. Just some pals doing pal stuff

14:16 I still think about this every now and then

Imagine big bear season 2 with the current crew

Thankful to see Node went back to Big Bear

Here at 2020 ,still missing these kinds of moments. Hopefully my wish of them coming back and making vids together will come true someday

"it's all mine!" "f**k all of you." LOL

All I can think of is an awesome, expensive Stag night.

24:25 benji just goes crazy

you guys need another short series like this again!!!

"For all you math blasters at home that's 27" lol!

Brandon flipping that shopping cart is the best thing ever.

Planned a ski trip with a couple of my friends next week and this is my research

I really miss this 😥 These old Node videos are so amazing. Especially this big bear series.

Benji is absolutely amazing. Why can't there be more people like him?

That cabin is what I'm going to model my new house after.

binging this series again for the 1000th time

So many people missed the prime time of node

This is so cool! I live in big bear and it almost never gets mentioned in anything.....ever. Except of course for the Christopher Dorner thing. But I recognize all the places you guys visit, so its really cool to see some of my favorite youtubers visiting my hometown :)

i have homework to do but i dont feel like doing it time to watch a video that came out 4 years ago

I completely forgot about Dez and Benji
