Honestly MJ I can't express how grateful I am for your visit! You really helped show case to the world, some of Norway's best retro gaming events, shops, artists, products and of course Metal music! 🤘 Both videos absolutely rocked mate!!! We all here are very excited to welcome you back in the future and show you the progression, that many people including myself are working on. I'm definitely going to visit the states next year and come and see you and Rebecca again ✌️😊
I feel so pity about those kids who presented a Metal Jesus with their metal music album CDs only to be crushed. And I can't still decide that Black Metal Cellar visit was a bit, probably not.
Small Thumbnail tip for you, I almost skipped this video because it had a red line at the bottom that looked very similar to the progress bar they put on thumbnails, I was scrolling later and that's when I realized it was part 2! Doubt it'll be a huge impact, but changing that red in the future could avoid a few people assuming they already watched
Commodore 64 was the most sold computer in Scandinavia back in the 80s and 90s. Many of the game developers of today in Scandniavia actually sprung out from the C64 demo scene! Another very popular computer was Amiga 500.
DUDE - I LOOOOVE your travel series documentaries, as I call them. This is the greatest youtube channel on the planet. Keep it up! I love all your content. I can't wait to watch this whole video while I eat my breakfast.
When you describe Norway with the words "calm" and "beautiful" you really nail the description. Best country in the world! 😁 Glad to hear you guys liked it here!! You're always welcomed back!! ❤
@RoffePop - Seattle area has 22 retro gaming stores, Nintendo of North America, Xbox, Valve, 2k, Unity, Oculus and a lot more. We are the video game capital of the US so it's worth visiting if you can. 👍
Amazing video MJR! I would love to travel someday to Norway. For me it's a dream country to visit. Watching a vinyl from Wardruna was an amazing surprise. that was an amazing gift definitely. I can't recommend it enough so you have to listen to it and have a fantastic experience. Thank you for these great videos.
Think when people asked you about our water. They more likley meant the tap water from the spring. As in most of norway you can drink clean water from the spring. So we mostly just buy a water bottle with water, and then refill it with tap water when its empty.
@@marbasfpv4639 because Norway's tap water pretty much taste like bottled and is clean and there's no chlorine in it in most places around the country. People mostly buy a bottle of water when out and about, nobody hoards a pallet of the stuff from the store lol. It's wasted money.
Same here in Finland. We drink tap water everywhere. And when hiking we boil straight from the lakes our drinking water. Norway and Finland are proud of the nature and cleanline we have maintained when most countries are becoming more and more polluted and over populated. We dont have those problems.
Greetings from Oslo! I did the poster artwork for the convention and being a long time fan, I was super happy when they told me you were coming. Unfortunately I got a bit too held up during the convention so I didn't really get a good chance to say hello, but I really enjoy these travel videos and I'm happy you had a good time.
Those kid's games are originals from Norway. Josefine was a series of games, Kaptein Sabeltann/Capt. Sabertooth is an iconic character in Norwegian children's entertainment with plays, movies, TV-shows, music etc., Blåfjell was a Christmas calendar TV-show which they made into video games, board games, merch(woolen hats, sweaters etc.). I played a few of them when I was a kid.
Too short! I want a director's cut ASAP! This man really is in his element when he's outside interacting with people, gamer or not. Content I wish to see would be you interviewing indie game devs. Man I would watch all of that. I love to geek out with you when you find something cool even if it's just through your videos.
Commodore dominated so much in Scandinavia and Europe that even IBM looked at them as a threat to their business around 1991. At this retro show in Sandefjord, i play on Vectrex 1982 console every year. It's tradition.
@@MetalJesusRocks Cool. They also had 2 Virtual Gameboy's there this year you could play on, but normally they had one in the past. I always try that one too. Vectrex is the most fascinating console to me. Wireframe 3D at 60 FPS in 1982. :)
I can only speak for myself, but I always miss and appreciate our tap water whenever I travel abroad. You're advised not to drink tap water in a lot of countries in Europe, and often times, bottled water doesn't taste all that great. So whenever I return to Norway after traveling, I always have an added sense of appreciation for our water that lasts for a little while before I start taking it for granted again 😂
@@Elatenl True, but it doesn't taste the quite same elsewhere. Also, I mostly tend to travel to southern Europe or outside of Europe whenever I go abroad.
I loved the Japan travel series and all the retro game store shopping there. Norway looks beautiful. Glad you got to visit and thanks for sharing your trip with us!
Norway is honestly the country I want to immigrate to the most. The climate, the people, its been my goal for a long time. Also a blast to see Wardruna get a shout out, they also did music for Assassin's Creed Valhalla as well as Seasons 2+ for Vikings. I'm going to see them in a few weeks.
Wholesome coverage, truly. Wish that you stayed there and keep pushing more content to us. What about spreading the word of Metal Jesus worldwide, visiting remote places and checking the local gaming scene, music and food of course.
Finland still holds the record as the most sold C64 country per capita. This ultimately lead to the digitalisation of a nation and to brands like Nokia, Housemarque, F-secure, Rovio, Supercell etc. The CBM was more popular than any other computer brand here, thanks to C64 and Amiga(500), in its existence.
Yo MJR! Love the vlogs, and wow, some awesome pick-ups. Totally dig those variant covers. I collect comic books as well as games, and variant covers spice up the collection. Also, those Pokémon terrariums looked so cool.
Your travel videos are some of my favorites! I really enjoy it when you travel through the Northwest, Japan and Norway looks like an awesome place to visit. Thanks for taking us along!
I love your Travel videos especially. It's fun hearing - and seeing - the sights of the area and how the vibe is. The food spot recommendations always get me excited as a foodie.
WOW! - I had to edit this twice - The tip about Röyksopp was an eye-opener for me. As well as Kvelertak. Just added both to my playlist. I didn't expect music recommendations from a video I assumed was only about the Expo. Thanks!
You should have gone to both the Kon-Tiki museum and the “The Fram” while in Oslo, Norway! You take a simple water ferry to it from central Oslo! I was there in June!
These game hunting/travel videos are just the best quality content. The way that you describe the places and share your opinion about everything makes these videos the best for me. Video games and traveling, My two favourite things in the world in one video.💯
Jason, you rock man finally a new metal Jesus video I always love it when I see metal Jesus post new videos after the day I’ve had I could use this. Thank you.
After a week that felt like it lasted 74 years, what's better than a new Metal Jesus Rocks video popping up exactly 60 seconds after release? Nothing, except maybe winning the lottery while riding a unicorn. Hail yeah!
Couldn't even imagine being asked to watch the metal jesus homestead. Think of all the video games you could play! Norway looks amazing, another great video!
I can attest that going to different European countries via train is incredibly convenient and affordable, I love it! I haven't gone to Norway myself, but man, after watching your vids, I have to go one day!
Thanks for signing my C64G! The place you stayed in Sandefjord, is a campground called Langeby. That's the place I have my caravan, like a summerhouse. :)
Oh no i made it to the video ^^ Awesome video! Loved your panel. Thanks for signing my copy of tribes 2 and thanks for the picture with you. it was awesome meeting you!
Home computers were so so popular in Europe and the UK. As a kid in the 80s everyone i knew has a Spectrum, Amstrad or Commodore. Some had Atari or Amiga too.
That Kvelertak album art I was like wow that looks like Baroness. Then I looked it up, "The cover artwork was created by John Dyer Baizley of the band Baroness." Such a beautiful style.
@@MetalJesusRocksKvelertak opened for Metallica in the European 2018 tour, and that helped them grow in popularity. I heard of them first from a playlist made by Slash. Respect to them!
Great video as always! Love seeing different countries and their culture. I have Ice Cream Surfers on the Switch and play it all the time. It's a really fun game. I've also been listening to Royksopp for years and love their music.
Good videos on Norway. I think you and everyone that welcomed you did a great job. I didn't know we had a retro store on Mjåvann in Norway. Might have to visit now that I do :)
Great video. I love your travelling videos dude, Norway is on my list of places to visit. I have family there I need to connect with but that’s another job for another day 😅.
The Syberia mention triggered me. An all time favorite point&click to me. So I just have to recommend “Syberia the world before”. I loved that return to form. Also, music-wise: huge Röyksopp fan.
Actually recently in news segment they said that in Norway electric cars just now surpassed the ammount of combustion engine cars. So it is more likely 55%, but still it is very impressive. I think the country funds half of the vehicle price if you go electric or something like that.
Honestly MJ I can't express how grateful I am for your visit!
You really helped show case to the world, some of Norway's best retro gaming events, shops, artists, products and of course Metal music! 🤘

Brad! You rock dude!! Come to the Seattle area and we'll hang again 👍
@@MetalJesusRocks I can't wait 🤘
It's good huge expo keep it up I love your channel more action stuff metal Jesus rocks play more s.n.k.😊
I feel so pity about those kids who presented a Metal Jesus with their metal music album CDs only to be crushed. And I can't still decide that Black Metal Cellar visit was a bit, probably not.
💪💪💪
Metal Jesus fits so well in Scandinavia, with him being 8 feet tall and having long hair.

Wow! I hadn't considered that. Makes total sense...so I changed it. THANKS!
Clever catch, thank you!
@@MetalJesusRocks Happy to help!! Keep up the good work !
Yeah I thought I had already watched it and knew I didn't at the same time.
100% this.

It was fantastic finally meeting you in person! I wish we would have had more time in the city cuz we would have loved to hang out with you more. 👍
@@MetalJesusRocks LIKEWISE!! 💯 I want to someday visit Seattle and experience the old grunge scene, if I do, you can show me around 🤘🤘
Oh yeah! DEAL!

In a world of so much chaos and uncertainty, one thing we can always rely on is wholesome content from MJR 🥰
Jesus is in his name, of course he is wholesome!
@@Sir...... Why, who Jesus? Is he Puetro Rican?
PMSL!
😂🤣 you made laugh this morning, Thank You for that🙏.
Amazing video MJR!

Look up the legendary Captain Sabertooth theme song. You don't need to know the lyrics, lol.
Thanks for taking us with you to Norway for Part 2! Cheers!

@@MetalJesusRocks yeah Nordics love Commodore brand
I'm glad you found something that you could a-fjord!
I hope you return to Norway again in the future! This was a joy to watch.
When you enjoy Wardruna, you may also be interessed in "Heilung" a folk project that also play music inspired by the "Iron Age" 🖖
Those custom game room signs look amazing.
I made them, thanks❤️😊
Watching these with my son and pointing out all the stuff I saw when I was there has me pining for the fjords. I wish I could live there.

Been a subscriber 2-3 years now and as a norwegian it was pretty exiting seeing you in Norway! 🙃
MJR, you're really living the dream!! You deserve it, your humility and gratitude always come through the screen, and we all love you for it ❤
I appreciate that!
I live close to sandefjord and i had no idea about the retro messe! Ill be going next year for sure :D thanks for making me aware of it :D :D
Er det mulig?!?!?! Du må dit ja! 😄
Jason, you rock man finally a new metal Jesus video I always love it when I see metal Jesus post new videos after the day I’ve had I could use this. Thank you.

My favorite comment today 😂
The Messiah has returned! 🙏
@MetalJesusRocks I just bought a new game for PS4, Galak-Z The Void, Skulls of the Shogun. Have you ever heard of the twofer?
Good to see you here in Norway.... thumbs up👍. Yes, Commodore was very popular in Norway. I had C-64 and Amiga 500, tuned with 1mb😆
so happy for part2! thanks for doing this
Norway, sweet.🤘
Oh dude, Kvelertak is so good! Take a bit of time and listen to those two albums thoroughly, it’s fantastic!
The SSX 3 soundtrack was so damn good!
Couldn't even imagine being asked to watch the metal jesus homestead. Think of all the video games you could play! Norway looks amazing, another great video!
great video as always metaljesus! love the travel vlogs they always make me want to get out and experience these places for myself!
It’s crazy to think that you’re almost at 1 million subscribers and wow another banger of a video. Continue the great work !
Appreciate it!
I can attest that going to different European countries via train is incredibly convenient and affordable, I love it! I haven't gone to Norway myself, but man, after watching your vids, I have to go one day!
going from country to country on train definetly is not cheap, it's almost always cheaper to fly
Great as always! Very nice to see retro gaming in Norway, and also this helps to have a perspective of europeans life syle!

Great video MJ!! Super cool of you to promote Norwegian musicians. Rock on
Glad to see you enjoy my homeland. Was a fun watch :)
I’m really happy that my home country was a pleasure for you to visit 🤘🏻 we’re really proud of Kvelertak🔥 Hope you’ll be back!
I was listening to those albums yesterday. They rock 🤘
you have awesome viewers who arranges trips like this, blessed brotha
Nice! i checked to see if this was posted yet last night. Awesome footage man. Thanks
Travel Vlogs by you are the best! Been waiting for part 2!
Those Pokemon terrariums were so cool. I'm not even a huge Pokemon fan but I kinda want to get one. Gonna check out some of that music, too.
Awesome video! Love how you combine video games and travel into a video game
Greetings from Tokyo 🗼❤😊
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your experiences in the beautiful country of Norway 🙂
Home computers were so so popular in Europe and the UK. As a kid in the 80s everyone i knew has a Spectrum, Amstrad or Commodore. Some had Atari or Amiga too.
You make amazing travel vids, man. Well done and thanks!
Glad that you had a great time, MJR! That SSX Tricky figure is sweet!
Both episodes great watch. Thanks for taking us to this expo :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sweet! Last one was great, was waiting for it. Felt like I took a trip to snoreway waiting this long…
❤
Great EP again Metal Jesus. Thank you.
This was a great video 😊😊😊
As a European it's wild to hear someone say the the concept of "trains" when done right is mindblowing and awesome...haha I was like "I knowww!"
Same, I read many western comics as a kid and my first thought was "but you have lots of nice train routes too??" 😂

Looks like an absolutely fantastic trip.
You might know Einar Selvik from Wardruna from another context as he's also been drummer in Gorgoroth under the name "Kvithrafn"
And now I wanna move to Norway. They are proud of their water. Huge on Electric Car adoption. Growing retro scene. Chefs kiss.
Thanks for sharing your trip and hauls. Shoutout to Brad, amazing person indeed!
Cash is king !!! Love the MJR tourist videos !!
Listening to Aldri now. Pretty damn good.
I heard Wardruna music for the first time while watching the Series Vikings, such a good match. The series is amazing as well.
Let's gooo Cheers from Portugal!
How is the retro gaming scene in portugal?
Great couple of videos as usual MJR, going to check out a few of those games you picked up!
I Think We Need To Make A Trip To A Country & Game HUNT!
Good for you for stretching your horizons. Nothing better than getting some culture in.
Great video as always! Love seeing different countries and their culture.
I have Ice Cream Surfers on the Switch and play it all the time. It's a really fun game.
I've also been listening to Royksopp for years and love their music.
Good videos on Norway. I think you and everyone that welcomed you did a great job. I didn't know we had a retro store on Mjåvann in Norway. Might have to visit now that I do :)
Guess it’s different on the west coast but in NY at least, we got trains everywhere and they’re always packed 🤷
Lovely video, would love more Norway travel vids, it looked beautiful!
I'm a PC gamer so that sealed KKND was a really nice pick, an underrated cult classic RTS for sure
Norway is beautiful!! Loved the 2 parts and the pick ups are class dude !!
Kaptein sabeltann is the OG. Glad you had fun in Norway :)
Love your remotes MJR!
Amazing content as always!
yeah, i like that first kvelertak album a lot! need to visit norway sometime again, too.
Great video. I love your travelling videos dude, Norway is on my list of places to visit. I have family there I need to connect with but that’s another job for another day 😅.
always fun watching MJ from a third-person camera.. It's like watching a sasquatch walking.😄
Hey you're here! Velkommen til Norge! :)
That expo looks absolutely incredible. Wouldn't mind going there myself one day.
The Syberia mention triggered me. An all time favorite point&click to me. So I just have to recommend “Syberia the world before”. I loved that return to form. Also, music-wise: huge Röyksopp fan.
Actually recently in news segment they said that in Norway electric cars just now surpassed the ammount of combustion engine cars. So it is more likely 55%, but still it is very impressive. I think the country funds half of the vehicle price if you go electric or something like that.
Awesome video Sir. I always look forward to your videos.
I love that Sierra Sign. The first game that comes to mind for me is Lode Runner! But they made so many good games that I still play to this day
