@@Dessan01 Exactly. There was hope that their podcast get more down votes than up votes, but lots of people voted it up once it got live, so yeah.. old times are over.
I've seen a ton of your videos when my kids showed me. They liked some of the Disney songs you did and I got sucked into all your takes on different rock songs. Seeing you're obviously a video game nerd as well just made me a bigger fan lol.
Mike is the actual AVGN, wrote all the scripts and is the one who really cares about video games, not a wannabe real hollywood director and trying to be steven Spielberg.
Also goes to show all the BS out there on the internet. People claiming to know there was some massive fallout behind J&MM stopping and they weren't friends anymore.
This made my day. Correction this made my year. I hope you guys do this occasionally even if it’s not like the old days of every Monday. You did enough of that you deserve as many breaks from it as you feel like.
@@mikematei im so excitied to see u guys together again cause watching james and mike mondays u guys are all i watch your amazing hope to see u guys do more down the road.
Screw painful schedules just do stuff organically when you feel like it. You have fun, the viewer has fun. No reason to overcomplicate what is a simple principle.
This feels like a lost episode of the good old James and Mike's Mondays, the virus has been a pain to deal with, but thankfully we can still have good things overall (one of those is this video). Hopefully in the future you two keep doing this kind of thing from time to time.
God I fucking loved this. I understand the screenwave guys are a huge help to James, but god damn are they just uninteresting people to me, and I don't know how to say that nicely. Glad to see James and Mike doin it just like old times.
@@Bubba_s I think its just a matter of those guys being less interesting or likable. When these guys are hanging its more entertaining because they seem to actually enjoy each other's company beyond a business venture.
They better do more of these like I don’t care if mike doesn’t return to Cinemassacre as long as they do this on Mondays again and releases it on his channel when I’m happy
After a year and a half of sheer craziness, this is a breath of fresh air. I hope James and Mike do occasional videos every once in a while, just like old times.
Mike Matei's 8-Bit double entendres: 1- 19:28 "Spread'em". 2- 29:10 "I go down". 3- 29:28 "That's why I do the bottom". 4- 31:11 "Wait for me, I'm gonna come". 5- 34:41 "That'll be cool, if you can pop in". 6- 37:43 "You'll definitely be able to come in". 7- 37:46 "Today might be the day we F****** do this". 8- 39:55 "You can pop back in".
The magic of Mike and James is that they have a way of resurfacing that nostalgia while also remaining relevant. They need to bring back James and Mike Mondays. They have genuine chemistry because they are friends but also because they are genuine fans of the games they are playing. Their reviews are so spot on with actual experiences of people of this old school generation. This is why they are so entertaining. They should pursue their own things if they want, but they should always come back to working together, even if it’s once a month or whatever. Their AVGN collaborations are classics.
Without going into too much detail(because the whole story gets pretty deep) I loved to hear stories from Henry Rollins talking about doing Stallone quotes with one of his old friends. Thanks, dudes.
It’s terrific to see them back together. I hope this can build into a regular thing. The convo about RU-vid was interesting also. It would be nice if this was edited like the classic James & Mike Mondays videos. In this one, the video of James & Mike is so small that you can barely make them out.
This made my day. 😃 Got to see James’ new podcast yesterday, then today I see a new video with Mike & James pop up in my feed. Hope you guys are able to get together & do another one soon.
That’s a great one. Always funny when they would miss something obvious like that boss strategy, or “the wizard was incinerated” in The Immortal. And even better if they were able to figure out the issue in the same video, like realizing how the UI worked for the keys in Goonies 2, or solving the problem with the FourScore in Super Off Road with Pat the NES Punk.
I have had a lot of laughs watching you and James crack up playing all kinds of games since I started watching the J&M series in 2014. You both bounce of each other so well, and it makes my day whenever I see you two on screen together. Really appreciate the video, Mike.
I know you guys stayed friends after the split but it's great to see you hang out and have fun like the old days. This takes me right back to my own 2p contra days. Thanks for this.
To answer James' complaint about roms: Switch him over to the no-intro set (instead of the old goodroms set) and you won't have all those redundant roms.
Agree with that. I do like the GoodRom set, but oh man is it bloated! So much nonsense in it. But there are also some good rom hacks in there too. But for an Everdrive, no-intro is the way to go
I’ve missed James and Mike Mondays a lot , damn ! I’m so stoked you guys decided to do this. You guys remind me of what it was like growing up in NJ. I moved away from Jersey in the late 90’s so these videos with you guys just hanging out is like being back home with my friends playing Nintendo and talking about random shit
James and Mike mondays used to be a highpoint. Great way to ease into a week of teaching it was. So much that I watch an old episode every monday 😁. This was really nice to watch. You've been sorely missed.
I didn't know this happened until just today. This is totally awesome! James and Mike Mondays was one of the best things that EVER happened on the Internet.
Great to see you both together for a game of good ol' contra. I remember the old j&m contra episode where you guys had a really tough time on the waterfall part. The chemistry you both have is irreplaceable.
James has the Everdrive N8 and Mike has the Everdrive N8 PRO. Castlevania 3 only works on the N8 PRO. Also make sure you are running the lastest firmware on the Everdrive.
Also Mike, the banter is the best part. Like, poeple enjoy podcasts and stuff. So don't feel like you are boring us with stories, we're here for that mostly. I can watch a no commentary run anytime about most games, but we like the stuff you guys talk about so it makes for something we want to see anyways :)
What the hell. I just found out this video existed. Great to see the two of you on a couch again playing games. As much as i love to see the games, I think I enjoy the banter even more
Awesome to see you guys reunite. I really like watching you guys hang out and play old games. I need to do the same with my friend who I haven't seen in awhile.
this video was the magic I missed, I love seeing these two classic gaming together , reminds me of the old times with my friends on what is now classic consoles. loved it!
Holy crap, I thought the days of James & Mike were over. I'm so happy to see this video. It would be super cool to see you two sync up for special occasions like holidays or something. I love Mike solo too but I started watching these gameplay "in the room with you" style of videos/steams from James & Mike Mondays.
Mike and James, you have no idea how happy seeing this made me, I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail and when I clicked on it and heard you guys together again it warmed my heart so much. You guys made my night with this video, please do more of this when possible, it means so much to many including me
