Fucking Awesome! Two of the most positive and insightful gaming personalities together. It's a perfect fit. Johnny, I can understand your excitement. As 40-something Canadian gamer, Vic is a legend. I nearly lost my mind when he dedicated a Rundown to me after I commented on one of his videos. He's a class act. You're not so bad yourself. Canadian TH-cam icon!👍
I work at a TV station that aired Electric Playground until the last few seasons and I am seriously so happy to see that it is still around. I remember sitting at my desk every morning and watching the tape playback for the weekend and unwinding with a cup of tea before my week goes nuts.
This was simply awesome! Love seeing you both together, it was really cool of Victor to come on to your show, he's really a genuine guy which is probably why I love epn so much.
Thank you for having Victor Lucas on your show. Before the channel G4 went down the drain, I used to watch Electric Playground and Judgment Day all of the time. I can't tell you how happy I am to learn that EP is still around. Again, thank you so much. You have just revived a huge portion of my dying gamers spirit!
Alright, so after reading endless TH-cam comments over at the EPN channel about this channel I knew I had to visit. This is the first video of Happy Console Gamer I've ever seen. Great energy, and you couldn't ask for a better guest than a "Canadian icon" who is Victor Lucas.
Woah, two of my faves! More people need to subscribe to EP Network! Now that it's not on TV, you can get the same great content, cameos from your favourite co-hosts, high production values (and also casual chats in Vic's Basement). Just needs more Marissa.
Johnny, you have NO IDEA how excited I became when I saw the thumbnail for this video! I grew up watching Victor and Tommy (on Reviews on the Run) and I also had the same reaction as you when watching the show. It was awesome to see a tv show dedicated to video games. Loved the reviews and the chemistry that Vic and Tommy had together. I have so many fond memories of watching electric playground and RotR back in the day (started when I was in 8th grade, and now I'm 23 years old!!). Victor really is a Canadian icon. Love all the work that he's done for game reporting/reviewing. Sometimes I go back and watch old episodes of RotR just for the nostalgia.
So epic, such a lengend, I used to watch that show all the time. Seeing Tommy talking about some of the music he made. Him and Victor also had great charisma together.
Watched every video of the Reviews on the Run series. They're really fun to watch. Glad to see Victor is still covering stuff for the sake of the hobby.
Goddamn, this guy really is a Canadian treasure. So glad that you got him on the show, Johnny. Used to was EP when it was on G4 / G4TechTV here in the states - loved it.
Can't believe it took me 4 years to find this epic crossover subscribe to both these dudes if you are videogame fans...if I buy any game I get these guys opinion first
I am one of those people who didn't realize that Victor was still doing his show. This is wonderful news. EP was on G4 here in the States, and I remember waking up at 4:00am for my first job out of college and watching it over breakfast. It was great! His thoughtful interviews and reviews were second to none and I really got a lot of my coverage on the PS2 era from him and Tommy Tallarico. I still remember his review of Atelier Iris and thinking that I needed to pick that game up. I still have to hunt it down. Thanks for getting him on the show and reminding the hobby of that great work he did and still doing.
This is so awesome guys. I grew up watching the electric Playground.. just loved that. and Tommy. I wondered where this guy was.. and I loved seeing Vancouver in the background of the reviews as well.. great great job guys.
Victor's impact on the medium is insurmountable. I loved EP and since Reviews on the Run I followed the channel extensively since 2002. Thank you for helping Vic, Johnny. He deserve a lot more attention on TH-cam!
This is amazing. I watched EP religiously growing up. As well as Johnny said Victor Lucas is a Canadian Icon. I did not not know about the EP you tube channel but I am now subbed and cannot wait to checkout it's content.
Nintendo Hodge lmfao I was thinking the same thing I loved this show in the early 2000's but never new they were still on the Tv let alone TH-cam, I'm subbing for sure.
Thanks for coming on the show Victor! Been watching you since mid 2000's and I'm glad you never lost momentum. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing Johnny Millennium on EPN!
Wow I never knew Victor Lucas and Electric Playground was still going on. Thanks for this episode definitely want to watch and support Victor's content.
How funny, I've been a sub of HCG for years. I recently had some nostalgia for the old G4/TechTV days and started watching old judgment days/reviews on the run on YT, which led me to see what Vic's up to these days. I just subbed to his channel and followed him on Twitter days ago, and one of the first messages was that he was going to be on HCG. Just wanted to share the synchronicity going on here :).
Oh man Victor Lucas! That is wonderful that you got him on your show Johnny. I've been a big fan of EP since the early days but got out of it in by the mid 2000's (around when Tommy left). Glad to know that he and his crew are now branching out on youtube.
That's so awesome! I didn't even know EP was still around, I'm heading over there right now. I don't even remember which channel it was on, it was definitely in the higher numbers on cable, but I would watch him and Tommy whenever possible. Their show was a nice alternative to Gamespot TV/Extended Play/X-play. Damn, that show had a lot of names.
Victor is still great! Thanks for reminding everybody how awesome he is and how influential he and his show is for all TH-camrs that cover video games. Awesome video Johnny. I want to give 5000 thumbs up for this video.
holy shit......i used to watch this show back in the day. Stopped when i moved to Florida in 2005 and i completely forgot what the show was called. Thanks so much for this video
Hell yes! Great video. Been watching Vic for a long time. Where i lived in Michigan, We had a couple of Canadian channels on our airwaves.... Him and The Sessler were what got me into video game media instead of just the games themselves.
Dude this is gold John!! Victor Lucas!? On you're show!! That is to awesome! From one Canadian to another! I've also spent my Sundays early 2000's watching EP! Back to back episodes! Lmao! What a wicked episode with the man himself! I know I'll be watching his TH-cam series from now on!
This is amazing. Huge fan and supporter of Victor Lucas. Seeing him on one of my favorite gaming TH-cam channels is awesome! Hopefully he'll be back someday.
*Victor Lucas is DEFINITELY a Canadian icon!* As a Canadian, I never missed an episode of EP! NEVER! And if I knew that I might miss it, I made sure to have my VCR record it as the prescribed time! Johnny is absolutely correct about the excitement around the show: If you were a kid/teen/young adult back in the 90s, you were stoked that such a show existed! It was a window into the video game scene and gave an honest opinion of the latest and greatest releases! Thanks for the video Johnny boy! *I enjoyed it alot!*
Great video, I had a chance to meet Victor Lucas and Scott Jones a few years ago both are great guys. I have been a fan of EP and Reviews on the Run for years and still love the content.
I freakin' love and have the utmost respect for Victor Lucas... even though he never ever took the time to answer one of my questions. But hey, it's ok. The guy must be busy.
CityTv in Calgary used to air EP and Reviews on the Run everyday at 6 pm. They did that for maybe for about a year, a year and a half and I would watch that instead of the evening news. Then they just up and replaced it with Murdoch Mysteries. Was so mad.
Watched EP since the N64 Days. I'll never forget Tommy's review of High Heat Baseball 2004. I hope the new EP channel get a ton of new subscribers, Vic deserves it, seems like a real down to earth guy.
Great video, it's like G4 TV way back when I was in school. I'm jealous I never got to see it here in the states. John always has awesome guests in his videos. I'm looking forward who he has on next.
What the heck. I was just reminiscing about the show Victor used to host with Tommy Tallarico back on the original G4 and suddenly here he is in your home, on your channel? Johnny, how do you do this? I'm so glad he's still doing a show, I'll have to subscribe right away.
I had no idea EP was still going. I was pissed when they went off the air back in January 2015. I always loved the show and thought it deserved more recognition. Definitely gonna subscribe to the channel.
omg, I love Reviews on the Run and Electric Playground. Tommy and Vic had a great dynamic going . love this so much Total trend setter. I got most of my games thanks to Victor. His reviews were/are great
Nice met vic a few times ... we even played with tennis game with the move controllers at fanexpo years back... awesome guy... great show johnny.... keep it up😄👍👍
Fucking Awesome! Two of the most positive and insightful gaming personalities together. It's a perfect fit.
Johnny, I can understand your excitement. As 40-something Canadian gamer, Vic is a legend. I nearly lost my mind when he dedicated a Rundown to me after I commented on one of his videos.
He's a class act. You're not so bad yourself. Canadian TH-cam icon!👍
You are right he is a class act!
This was such a treat!!! Such an awesome surprise. As a Canadian, I can definitely vouch for just how cool this is!!!
I work at a TV station that aired Electric Playground until the last few seasons and I am seriously so happy to see that it is still around. I remember sitting at my desk every morning and watching the tape playback for the weekend and unwinding with a cup of tea before my week goes nuts.

This is a historic moment. Two legends together at last.

Thanks for informing us of EPN, just subscribed!
I had no idea that EP had a TH-cam channel. Thanks for letting me know, I hopped over and subbed as I was watching this :)
Don't forget to check out EPNdotTV's playlist of older episodes... classic.
What. WHAT. WHAAAAAATA.
I freakin' love and have the utmost respect for Victor Lucas... even though he never ever took the time to answer one of my questions. But hey, it's ok. The guy must be busy.
lelabotoxique what would you like to know? (This is Vic)
CityTv in Calgary used to air EP and Reviews on the Run everyday at 6 pm. They did that for maybe for about a year, a year and a half and I would watch that instead of the evening news. Then they just up and replaced it with Murdoch Mysteries. Was so mad.

Victor, thank you.
Subscribed to EPNdotTV! Thanks, Johnny!
I grew up watching ep every Saturday afternoon so many good memories.
Great video, it's like G4 TV way back when I was in school. I'm jealous I never got to see it here in the states. John always has awesome guests in his videos. I'm looking forward who he has on next.
What the heck. I was just reminiscing about the show Victor used to host with Tommy Tallarico back on the original G4 and suddenly here he is in your home, on your channel? Johnny, how do you do this? I'm so glad he's still doing a show, I'll have to subscribe right away.

Sweet! Been a fan since the beginning.
Wow. victor lucas!!..i use to watch his show all the time.
Wow!! You friggin found him!! Right on Johnny!!
Seems legit, I subbed. Victor Lucas is a pretty nice guy.
EP and Reviews on the Run were a staple growing up. I still remember hearing about Dark Cloud on the "Hidden Gems" section back in the day.
Wow, Victor Lucas. I knew he's been around but I've personally been a fan of his since 2003
I didn't realize he was still around...I remember watching EP back in the day. That was a nice interview.
brilliant video by 2 genuine dudes !
Dude I watched this guy growing up! Same for you Johnny!
OK I did not expect this, HEY VICTOR! I watched Electric Playground faithfully for the entire run. So glad you are still at it.
I had no idea EP was still going. I was pissed when they went off the air back in January 2015. I always loved the show and thought it deserved more recognition. Definitely gonna subscribe to the channel.
Before EP was off the air they would always bring up their TH-cam channel near the end of an episode
omg, I love Reviews on the Run and Electric Playground. Tommy and Vic had a great dynamic going . love this so much
Total trend setter. I got most of my games thanks to Victor. His reviews were/are great
I met Victor Lucas once 😮
Your work for him!!
liar
lol, "Classic Blake."
Growing up watching EP and Reviews on the Run makes me extremely happy. This is why I'm proud to be a British Columbian.
Loved his show. Was the only video game show back in the day.
Man it's crazy seeing Victor Lucas standing next to Johnny.
Nice met vic a few times ... we even played with tennis game with the move controllers at fanexpo years back... awesome guy... great show johnny.... keep it up😄👍👍
