They did Contra a few months ago. They said they'll continue to do these once in a while. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CpMt0YFSEgc.html
Glad you enjoyed the video. This is just a one time thing as I’m mostly focused on streaming. We shot a contra video several months ago as well. I’m sure we’ll shoot something again just not on any type of schedule.
As much as viewers might dislike this, it's the right call. I don't care if it's your wife or your best friend. It gets old being around the same person all the time and gets to be too much like a business. You can tell they genuinely had fun because it was like a nostalgic get together on their own time. It's great to have the freedom to do your own thing.
Let's hope this isn't a one off and we get the return of James & Mike Mondays. For me it's not so much about watching you two play different games, it's the great conversations you would have in the episodes. It's like listening in on two old friends remembering things from the past.
Yeah, as much as I love the laser precision that Mike has on his own plays, I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing him with someone else playing a 2 player game. Even better when that other person is James. I wonder if he'd bring on Justin for a couple games....
Reminds me of when things were more simple. Just two friends playing video games, catching up and enjoying themselves. It’s great to see a video with James and yourself again similar to the contra video. Even if it’s not that often it would be great to see James and yourself doing a video similar to this.
man, you can't imagine how watching this video completely changed my day, very good to see you guys playing in this room again, [it's like I'm watching the first video of mario (rambo mario) again, ten years ago
Love to see James & Mike back in the nerd room playing an old game and talking! Made my day, thanks! Ps, hope to see you guys still doing this type of stuff on occasion when you're 50
It's so awesome to see the team back together again. Mike and James are my favorite RU-vid sites and Twitch channel. It would be so amazing to game with you both.
I was not expecting this when I woke up this morning. This is wonderful, all of the laughter and smiles are back between you 2. Always enjoyed you guys #BringBackJamesAndMikeMonday's
Seeing you guys in the Nerd room playing a game together is awesome. I was rewatching a bunch of James and Mike Monday videos recently and was wondering if you guys would do another video together and now I see this in my notifications. This is awesome and it’s like things haven’t changed, which is the best part about this.
I DIDN'T REALISE THIS IS NEW! I am so happy you two are together. My smile is off the roof! I literally thought this was old😅. This is from this year 2022. WOW!!!!!!!
Kinda poetic how seeing you two together has become nostalgic. Like that warm happy memories feeling. You've literally become the concept and feelings you've given all of us thru the years.
You and James are a great duo. It was great to see you guys together again. And I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for all of James and Mike Mondays being released on Blu-Ray, just as James did with AVGN.
James is like his old self around Mike. It's crazy how you two just have that sort of chemistry. I ain't heard an umm all episode. Also wow beating this game is pretty hard imo just due to having no patience as a kid when I would fall multiple levels.
Edit: this is a crazy coincidence, but I just adapted the Superman and Doomsday story James is talking about at 35:32, Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey like 2 days ago. It's from 1994. I do voice acting and narration to condense the story without lessening it's impact. If anyone wants to check it out, here's the link, it's about an hour long but it's a great story. At the end I tell what happened to him after he got left at the end of time too, because that wasn't quite the end for him after all. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZpJOXipEHjM.html (Original comment) Mike just uploading gold at 3/4/5 am (depending on time zone) for all the weirdo night people. Hey, when the encode and upload timers are up, why wait? Love it dude.
@@tupactip I meant for the US. I'm in the middle zone, I forget which way Mike is in time but it's one of those. But it's really cool he has a worldwide audience.
What the heck? I JUST watched a Mike video for the first time in year and then he uploads this video. Cool to see James back with him for at least an episode. They have good chemistry playing these classics together.
I love watching James and Mike just chilling and playing games. You both should do it more often. You guys made my day. This video made me play Toe Jam and Earl for the first time and other genesis games, thanks to the sega collection. I have been watching you both since early youtube.
So great to see this duo back together. I would love to see the two of you attempt Zombies Ate My Neighbors again someday to see how far you can get with two players. That's one of my all time favorites.
I been a constant viewer of cinemassacre since 2009. When the original J&M Monday 'Toe Jam and Earl' episode came out about 4 years later, it instantly became my favourite video on the whole channel. The fact it was 45 minutes long made it feel like christmas to me, time to give the game real focus, time for shit talk, conversations that branches off in random directions mingled in with team work about the current game ("you take that pizza! you need it more! get in the elevator! oh shit the bee's!") I was alone, but yeah it did make me feel like I was hanging out with a friend in my youth again playing co-op. I liked that in general about the show too, some obscure or forgotten games from yesteryear getting a moment in the spotlight decades later, and not some playthrough or speed run, not some quick 5 minute review, Like 2 people chatting throughout the game, a decent 40+ minute video for it Anyway I was really happy to see you go back to this particular game as it was my favourite J&M Monday episode, and when I saw it was double the length of the last one I was thrilled to bits! 😁
Aww this was just really nice to see. James & Mike Mondays were always a favorite of mine, and its nice to see that back again, for however breif amount of time that may be. 👍
Definitely a welcome surprise to wake up too! Keep the great content coming Mike and James! This just makes me so happy to see you two back in the nerd room together. I don’t know if possible but I hope you guys make more content together again soon! Thanks for all the great videos! Hope to see that Top 10 annoying enemies!
This was great seeing you guys come back to this after mike was more familiar with the game and James beating it. Thank you guys for all the videos both past and future.
Mike Matei I don’t watch a lot of ur content but I’m a big fan. Checked in and saw u did this video w james a few days ago. Glad to see both of u making content together like this again. Always looked foward to all of ur guys content and I especially loved watching james and mike Monday’s. U guys had great chemistry and the videos just chilled me out and made me feel like I was chilling with u. Reminded me of how I used to chyl with my friends. Please bring that type of concern back. keep doing u and enjoy life man, keep up all the content
I decided a few years back that I mainly just want to do live streams. That doesn't mean I still won't do other things here and there. But live streaming is what I enjoy doing the most, so that's what I'm focusing on. For the podcast that I do, the only reason that works is because I discuss the games that I've been playing on my streams. I may still do lets plays, reviews and other types of content on occasion. Just far less often than I used to since my focus is streaming. Hope that makes sense.
@@mikematei Makes sense, Mike. You should always follow your passion, and do what makes you feel happy and fulfilled. I really enjoy your live streams as well, and your commitment to retro gaming. It was just a nice treat to see you guys and your undeniable chemistry on a Monday morning one more time. Speaking of other projects, I'd love to see more of your artwork on the channel! Anyhoo, keep up the great work man!!
James and Mike made me want to pick this up. Made it to the third elevator before just switching to something else. Watching this makes me want to play again.
James makes an excellent point about reruns. On Saturday afternoons when I was a kid, there were three choices: sports, old Westerns/dramas or the Three Stooges. I would always choose the Stooges - and their show was about 7 times older than I was at that point. It really is a stretch to tell someone they can't be a 'true fan' of piece of a media just because it was made before they were old enough to enjoy it.
I have a memory of watching some teens at a Fatal Fury cabinet when I was a small kid. The one playing had a mullet, and would repeatedly shout "fuckin A!". I wondered what it meant then, and I still don't know now. lol
While not having the name, is like good old James and Mike's Mondays (once again), gotta love how the RNG can screw you (Mike almost survived the last part of the game if it wasn't for the RNG screwed with the food when he needed to recover health) but regardless, congrats on winning the game (around 90% co-op), I hope you can do this again with a TMNT redux (especially since Cowabunga Collection is going to be a thing soon).
"Holy shit, it's the chicken army with the tomato launcher". No other time would those words ever leave your mouth unless you're playing this game. I'd love to try some of the drugs that the developers were on while making this game.
