I was blown away when MJR dropped this on the video. He is one of the most genuine people I have ever met.
I know my collection would be in good hands with you buddy! Thanks for being such a great friend :)
So, John is now the prime suspect if something happens to MJR.....the plot tickens. 😂
If something happens to metal, John will be suspect number one 😂😂😂
Immortal!
Could tell you were absolutely floored. What a great community and friendship. Love seeing the passion ALL the crew has.
This whole video is completely irrelevant, one of 'em is immortal and the other one can come back from death in like... 3 days.
Brilliant
Yeah, seriously: "Let's talk about death and pretend it would faze us!" :)
fernandobujaidar oh man I laughed my ass off
Best comment for the video...
But he's a special kind of Jesus, made of metal, how does that work then?
Whoa it was almost like a " Will you be the God Father of my child moment " John looked surprised.
I thought he was going to cry
I about teared up when MJR told him that. So cool
"And marry my wife while you are at it"
Dustin Morrison me too
I was expecting a bro hug at some point. :P
Dem feels were real in this video. John had no idea ;)
MetalJesusRocks the look in johns eyes when he thought I wonder if I could drive a bus? Emotional
A MJR wing in the Hancock Videogame Museum sounds so perfect!
It's awesome how you surprised him with that
If I come to that neck of the woods, I'm going to need a tour of you and your pals' collections. I'll be sure to order my admission tickets in advance :-)
It was a no brainer, If MJR were to die, the right person to get all those games and systems would be John. He is called the INMORTAL after all :D
PD: I know it's an old video; I'm a kinda new subscriber.
People ask me this, and I can't answer 😂.
CastlevaniaObsession you can have Castlevania 64. you're welcome.
Radical Reggie xD
send it to me! everything will find a good nice warm home
When Metal Jesus dies it will be fine, we will just resurrect himself.ElBribri
Radical Reggie I feel like donating to an electronics museum is always a nice last resort
JH: "What're you going to do with your collection MJR?"
MJR: "Well John, the answer is you."
*entire continent of North America sheds single tear*
because they are laughing so hard.
Sam Sjostedt North America isn't a continent, bro.
+Aswawarman Kutai What have you been smoking?
Randy Bradley isn't the name of the continent is America instead of North America ?
No, North America is Canada and U.S.A.
Don't ever die MJ! I want your videos forever....
If the Metal Jesus got hit by a bus, I'm pretty sure the bus would be the one dying.
HA!!
If MetalJesus died and if John had a museum he could do a room with the MetalJesus collection for like a honorable mention.
nah it will be HALL OF FAMER.
Lol xD
Like some sort of altar or shrine?
He could embalm Metal Jesus and have him on display as well!
...Or maybe not.
Johns response was so genuine I am almost positive he gave Jason a huge hug after that not only the topic of the video is interesting it's the on screen natural reaction that really made me enjoy this video
But John's immortal
Hey Dad Let's Play! Ikr?
That's why MJR wills his collection to him.
Hey Dad Let's Play! Classic lol
.... and Jesus came back from the dead
Like thousands of years ago.
A friend of mine told me that when her father died she disposed of an entire garage full of video games. She told me that it took her an entire years worth of garbage collection to get rid of it and she also said that most of it was still sealed. I thought she was lying but other family members confirmed it. I was like like you never thought to even post ads to sell the games? Her response was "I just never thought this junk was worth anything". I was purely mortified.
you have a shitty friend
I think john was on the verge of tears
Lmao
he was for real ! you can tell he started blinking real fast and squinting.. John is a genuine dude he seems awesome! I would love to look at his collection and meet him
Watching John almost cry made us almost cry
You can tell that John Hancock wants to cry. You really are a genuinely honest and humble human being John. Thank you for being in this community. People can look up to you not only as a collector but as a person.
When Metal Jesus goes missing tomorrow.. we know what's up. ;)
Ya, His wife needed a vacation.
Haha
I'm interested in what hobby John's father tried to push on him.
drinking and whoring, most likely.
haha XD Made my day. :)
Cocaine. He called it a hobby, but we all know better now.
toenail collection.
ben s. Lol same sens of humor here 😂
long live MetalJesus!
After my parents died and we had to dispose of each of their "collections", I vowed not to do that to whoever has to clean up after me :). I am lucky that my nephew teaches music at a college so I know where all my guitars will go.
Great video as always, MJR!
badGamr Yeah, I feel bad for whoever will have to deal with my comics. I don't have an especially large library, but they are heavy and take up significant space and, probably worst, aren't especially valuable, so selling it off would probably be a waste of time.
@@srwapo
knock up some chick
This was legit a super sweet thing to tell John on video, MJR. I started to tear up when you told him.
But John is immortal. No worries!
And Metal Jesus will just come back in 7 days
Crazy Joe You mean three?
Crazy Joe Joe!!
A true gamer takes his games to the grave, just kidding.
If Metal Jesus dies, he'll will return in 3 console generations
Well this video was surprisingly sweet. I loved how you genuinely surprised John.
@MetalJesusRocks, you made me cry... The Immortal John Hancock had tears as well. I am so lucky to be alive in this day in age as a gamer. Videos like this remind me of that gift. Thr is so many beautiful gaming enthusiasts out thr that give thr heart and soul to the gaming community...one love and respect to you both.
I worry about this kind of stuff all the time
koosa583622 You're in the wrong place buddy xD
koosa583622 I got rid of 9000 records because I was getting sick of them controlling me now I started buying music cds and I'm sick again because of them rotting before I die.
@@michaelgenzale7537
hahaha
@INVISIGOTH
get pregnant therefore
Love these videos ! Where people talk about what would happen to the collection! It was a great discussion really enjoyed it! The camera quality is really good; the new camcorder has really made a difference.
I was reluctant to watch this video because I thought it would be a bit morbid. It turned out to be very sweet and loving. :)
Love.
Why bother Jesus, if you will resurrect on the third day anyway..
This was one of my fav vids you have done, when you told John what your wishes were for your games was an awsome moment. I been following MJR for over a year now and have started to seriously collect because of you and the whole MJR crew. Keep up the awsome work much love from Canada.
4:25 literally the thumbnail
I wonder what I should do with my collection after I die (on the odd chance that I won't be immortalised into a robot )
LITERALLY just posted about this on John's channel about a week or so ago! My step son (12 yrs old) has always been into gaming (vintage AND modern). my collection would go to him... MJR got a super quick swoop through of my collection a while back in a private video invitation so he can attest that it is substantial. It'll be appreciated and live on through my step-son. It gives peace of mind knowing it will have a proper home.
There is the just opened Videogame History Foundation an ONG I think that is a good place to send them if you don't have heirs willing to continue your legacy
Well, John is an immortal so he doesn't have to worry about it.
I volunteer to be the adopted child of Metal Jesus or any of the other guys without kids. I promise to keep your collection as pristine as it's passed on to me :) In all seriousness guys, that was a pretty touching moment. Here's to hoping you both have a long and enjoyable life and not have to worry about anything like this coming to pass!
This was a great video, I love hearing about the preservation of collections and the importance of those collections living on past our time.
Watching in 2019. I’m relatively new to MJR, but I’ve watched probably 75+ videos already. This is probably the best one I’ve seen yet.
Now that John knows he might get part of his collection, he's going to put a hitman on our Metal Jesus!
Noah Schakat :):)
He just asked me to take care of Jesus before midnight...
This was very touching! John's expression was priceless! Much love!!!
John seems like such an awesome guy. Everyone deserves a friend like him. Plus my inner history nerd always geeks out when I hear his name.
I'm just now watching this video and this is a great question. I worry about my collection too. Both of you guys are so passionate that I hope that when I die someone as passionate as you gentlemen end up with my (small compared to your's) collection. As always, keep up the great work. Much love to you both.
man, John's reaction was priceless.. it was right in his heart, we could see it through his eyes. this just made my day better :)
Your an amazing friend. People can only wish to have this type of awesome relationship with their buddies. True comrades.
Man that moment damn near made ME emotional. These two were my inspiration to start collecting! So awesome.
Man, this was a nice moment. Congrats for both of you.
John seemed so honored, that's a realy moving moment because it's clear than he NEVER fucking even fought about it haha That's magic. But I mean that's so obvious, he's such a SO pationated game collector, there's more than nostalgia in there, there's LOVE for video games and it's all about history of video games, making them last in the time for the further generations. Oh man that's fantastic, all of you guys are fantastic !
Thank you for these goosebumps guys, you're awesome.
May have been 3 years ago, but remains a very good point any collector (or hobbyist where the items and tools themselves have collectable value, such as model railways etc), such as comics, books etc. A good first step is ensuring your family knos how much the collection means to you and suitable sources to go to to get help and advice on correct disposal (ie, other collectors rather than the bin!).
Likely lots of rare books, games and other things just get thrown out due to family not understanding of caring what it is.
For a video with such a heavy topic, a beautiful moment came from it
I absolutely love you metal Jesus, you are what keeps TH-cam vibrant and full of just childhood enthusiasm and I can feel that you are a good person at heart and don't ever conform to what's considered "cool" to others because that's them and besides most people don't know that it's being kind and generous and lighthearted that's the cool stuff, I mean you of all people must be able to relate to the archetype of the hero! For instance the hero stands up for the weak and sick and unfortunate he doesn't exploit that for his own gain. But all too often is that the case in this world so thank you for being an example, thank you for who you are and most of all thank you for all the work you must put into this. Sincerest //Johan
Awesome Video yet again. Never a question I've thought about although my collection is very extremely pale in comparison. John looked like he was gonna cry - a nice moment to share
Dude’s... what a cool video. You guys came across so genuine. I knew you guys were awesome. This just kicked it up another notch. Thanks for your content.
Great question. People, family, and friends ask me this every time they visit my Game room of over 5,000 games and thousands of collectible statues. Finally sorted it all out.
i used to work for a company that ran housing and did like the gardening and stuff for elderly people. Once an old man died who had no family and stuff and a group of about 10 people had to literally empty his house into one of those giant walk in skips. The thing was this guy was a hoarder of vinyl records and was also a games collector of old games/computers like Amigas,amstrad, spectrums them kind of games. The rooms were stacked with gaming magazines from the 80s and 90s, computers and games and we literally had to skip them all to get the job done within about 5 hours. The only thing I managed to take from the lot was a copy of the original street fighter for the Amiga. I did have a box of stuff but they got lost somewhere in transit. i did put on a local site like gumtree called freecycle pleading with people to go and help themselves before it got destroyed further but i don't know if anyone ever went. I still angers me to this day that i couldn't do a thing to save a house full of the things i love.
Dude, John teared up, he's such a good guy, you can tell just from his reactions. You guys are awesome keep this up man
Loved seeing how John reacted!
This is maybe one of the hardest questions for every collector. And also maybe a reason for a Collector to even start a family...
*The other one would be “what would you do if your collection was desroyed, e.g. in a fire“*
We find ourselves thinking about this from time to time, but we struggle to find the answers amd hope we have still a lot of time before the event...
yep, KIDS are the answer!
I have contemplated this question quite a bit with my Killer Instinct collection. My son has also expressed interest in preserving and continuing to collect and preserve. But as of right now he doesn't really understand the importance, scope and financial responsibility of the collection. So I have 2 backups. 1. My wife takes care of it until my son is old enough to properly take care of it. 2. Donate it to a video game museum.
My grandfather was a hoarder. It took 2 full years to clean out my his house when he passed away. My dad is a total hoarder too. Neither for games but they just were the type of people who never threw out or got rid of ANYTHING. I was in high school at the time and my dad made me help him so I lost all my weekends for those 2 years which totally sucked. I know it will take just as long to go through my dad's stuff when that day comes. This is why I've never collected video games or anything else physically. I'm digital for life and it won't put my children or other immediate family members through that.
Now THIS is preservation. From a collector to another collector. Great MJR! It will really great to make a local museum ... but i think is a huge thing.
Blown away by the collections guys, just insane!! You guys are true masters of the collecting craft its been really nice to watch!!
A bitter sweet conversation. Well done gentlemen! Touching sentiments towards each other and video game preservation. So beautiful. So Metal. \m/>.
2:38 That is the same reaction I got when Warren Beatty announced the Best Picture.
John Hancock's collection should remain a museum years after now with aid of all of his friends and people should be able to access a personal video review of every single game in the collection.
Access to physical copies must be supervised and usage of such games must be played rarely.
john is my favorite guest for your channel dude. He is who i want to be if i end up collecting
Damn, I can tell you saved that answer for the video, and John had no idea. John has a specific look on his face when you surprise him with things.
Great video!!! Been a subscriber for about a year and watch every video. What's interesting about that is I don't play or collect video games. My personal passion is comic books- I love the way your channel speaks passionately about collecting and the importance of it. It's weird that you've said things that hit home that I've heard 10 times before in comic collector videos but I was to busy "shopping" the backgroundto hear it. Keep doing videos that emphasize the legacy and importance of collecting something that "normal" people just don't understand
Metal and the immortal one, have either of you guys considered setting up virtual tours of your game collections and game rooms, like open houses have where the user point and click and walk around the room and can see what is on your shelf's? Actually a conglomerate of you tubers setting up a website with that would be awesome.
Speaking of wich... When will we see the new game room tour?
John hancock even has that vibe to him. This is a guy ive never met and i feel like if i left my walet in a room with him i wouldnt have to worry about anything getting taken.
Thats one hell of a vibe immortal
Hey John, I think it'd be a great idea if it was an actual virtual museum!!! Like a website with a 360° Camera display room where a visitor can explore the room freely and check the rare collection of games from the past.
The IMMORTAL John Hancock seems like the nicest and most genuine gentle giant out there.
with LOVE from IRAN! we follow You :)
If I were to die, I'm sure my wife would sell every last one of them.
probably Dirt cheap and well below Ebay pricing just to get rid of them.
I cannot stress enough the importance of preservation and having a will! My dad passed away last year with a house full of old broadcasting/engineering equipment that I've had to move out of state to my house because he had no will and stopped taking to anyone. I've had lots of people beg me to just simply not throw these things away even though to me they have no worth (they aren't my dad) and the response was surprising. A lot of people from our generation just throw out recordings, reel to reel tapes, cassettes, VHS tapes, games, vintage electronics, etc by the box full when our family dies. If you ever have the opportunity to find a collector in this situation, reach out to them! And I wish you the best of luck!
omg he was genuinely honored. that was touching.
The Last Gamer's collection needs to become a museum if not a shrine when he dies.
When I die I'll get buried with my entire game collection hahaha 😂 😂
I love how we live in a time when you are you're friends have plans for our most treasured items that your parents would almost consider junk. I have a massive instrument collection and I want one in the local museum, each of my guitar playing buddies to pick one and the rest donated to a good organization
John legitimately was about to start crying, man metal Jesus does rock!
Disappointed in the lack of a bro hug at the end there.
I am new on your channel and retrieve all videos. I like it very much! I have to answer this video in any case. My collection is not nearly as big as yours or John's. Nevertheless, I had to think about what happens if I die prematurely. I see the same emotions that I had with both of you. True collectors. Thanks for your videos. It's a pleasure to watch the videos. I am from Germany so please excuse me if my English is not so good.P.S. I´m a big metal freak, too. Nearly 30 years now. Great games, great music.
VERY heartfelt boys! Keep up the good work.... Both of you!
Both of the spaces where your respective collections are housed are already museum-worthy. I'm sure most people's eyes would brightly light up simply walking through them.
Breath ov the wild Nintendo switch advert.
The only ad I wouldn't skip on TH-cam right now.
These are the kind of questions that keep me up at night
Amazing,very deep and not something alot of collectors want to think about right away!
I have actually given this a lot of thought! I came up with a plan for my best friend to be the recipient of the entire collection. She is not a gamer nor a collector, so her instructions are to sell the collection on eBay to thoroughly-vetted collectors. Plan B, everything will go to a gaming museum or non-profit to do with as they see fit.
You ain't going nowhere! Keeping making great videos!
My favorite episode. Really gained my respect
Honestly, this was probably one of the most heartwarming friendship moments I've ever seen. Did you see how powerfully this affected John? Honestly I hope they hugged it out afterwards.
That was quite an emotional moment - nice "good feel" upload mate. Love your channel and all your guests too - especially Reggie 😆
i have a solution. it is called "operation mariana". but a shipping container (similar to those where imported goods are used in the piers); put all my belonging in there - vidya, car/s, etc. get it waterproof, have it dumped over the mariana trench.
John looked like he really was surprised and moved. He really seems like a legit nice guy.
Seeing epyx on the spine of those pc boxes. Wow. Now that is childhood memories right there. Mine would be left to the misses but we've not discussed what goes where. Collection isn't that big yet.
Dude. This video had a truly magical moment. You guys are so awesome. If you ever open a museum, i'll work for you ;)
From the very first day, I always thought John should open a museum. I'm all in.
I like your channel I love it when you're friend said that u could put your collection into a museum
Mid life crisis someone? Just joking, nice to see this aspect of yours and answering such a tough question. Just reminded us that more than a youtuber, he's a regular person just like me or everyone who commented this video. And to answer that question, if I'd had a big collection like these guys I'd go with John's answer, all to my kids and family. Greetings from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Awesome duo! The passion is real! Thanks guys
