1 up video games is my favorite local video game store in Yakima I go there a few times a month I buy both consoles and games thats so cool you did a video on 1up video games
That graded pokemon blue was the most expensive trade in I ever took in, all my years working at Game World. Thanks for shining a light on all the hard work our boss and team puts into the community over here. It was also an absolute honor meeting you and drunken Master Paul! I cant provide the amount of customer service I do without you all 💜
I always look forward to your road trip videos. I like how you take the time to talk about the locations in detail with great footage. Those retro game stores look awesome.
Its great that you still give the PSP some love. It's how I stumbled upon your channel, looking for PSP hidden gems. 7 years later and still watching. 👍
Wow... that change from snow to bright blue skies was awesome. (In the middle of OCTOBER!?) I'm from Indiana, so we definitely get snow here, but usually not until late November/early December. What a great video... Keep it up MJR!
Modern Radio stations ARE a marvel of technology and efficiency... but also, IMO, its incredibly sad what has become of radio. There are NO "flavors" to radio anymore its just unmanned desks running pre-prepared programs. It aint WKRP anymore... still very cool to see a station though.
I’m being serious thanks for including the different weather you encountered up there. I find it very interesting, never knew it was like that there :)
I just loved how he took the time to flat out tell us all and educate us all about the weather and the scenery how washington is and also a tour of one of their occupational zones. And back story of their interests. And beer... Lol before getting to video games. That was something you dont see jason do much :)
This entire video was shot w/ 2 iPhones & a GoPro HERO8 Black. 245 individual clips. I did do a lot of color correcting in Final Cut to try and make things match a little bit better.
Great to see that the Metal Militia is getting back together. It's was great to see Drunk'n Master Paul and John Riggs after so long! I really love these video game hunting trips. Thanks for sharing them with us!!!
I actually loved the videos of central/eastern Washington. Its gorgeous. And was surprised how different it was compared to the Seattle area. Thank you soo much.
You have such a wholesome channel. I’m not even a retro game collector but I enjoy watching you and Radical Reggie just enjoying games. It’s just refreshing
@@MetalJesusRocks You should look at Texas weather. Hot and humid majority of the time. Of course, there are unusual weather like Febraury 2021 polar freeze that doesn't come often but rare.
As a Spokane resident it's pretty sureal to see MRJ and DMP getting pick ups at the same stores I shop in. It's a real shame you guys didn't get to see Trade-A-Game in Spokane when it was open. It was a humongous mom and pop retro store that served the Spokane community for close to 30 years before having to close during Covid. They had a great trade in system, especially for kids, that allowed all classes of folks to get and play a multitude of games. Check out John Riggs' video trip there sometime. Anyway cool seeing you in my neck of the woods. Awesome video as usual!
I would never pay those prices, but I appreciate the different videos with the various stores with what they have and how they try to make themselves unique.
I love these kinds of videos! About a month ago a new retro game store moved in right down the road from me. Then a couple days ago I discovered there’s a vintage toys and video game store right next door and apparently that place has been there for 10 years. Lol
I'm from Liverpool but I really love these videos for the insight it gives to small town America. Those locations are really fascinating to me and I've always wanted to visit/live somewhere like that in future. Thanks so much
I’m moving to Spokane for college in a few months, I visited game world and was really surprised by the massive game selection. Super cool to see that you were there!
Oh my gosh! It was amazing to see you do a tour of my hometown game stores!! I am from Spokane :) I wish I would have been hunting when you visited the stores! I am glad you gave the East side of Washington some love when it comes to stores as we are somewhat lacking when it comes to selection :)
I love these videos. We’re currently trying to find a new city in which to settle. Never considered Yakima or Spokane until this video. The Rick Steves of gaming!
Thanks for the kind words about my hometown Spokane! I was surprised you’ve never been here before. I’ve driven to Seattle probably 100 times but obviously you wouldn’t have much reason to come. It would be like me deciding to drive to Billings for the helluvit. Anyway cheers man 🍻🤘🏻
Washington is like Arizona in reverse, people only think of the desert of phx and Tucson but if you go up north its more green and forest like, I never knew it was more desert looking on the eastern part of wash state
It's cool too see how you ground you're self so well for these road trip videos, you give us a detailed description of where you are going, weather comparison, seasons and other geographic info. Makes these videos super interesting and educational for people who do not know washington state in general. Cheers 🙌🏾👍🏾
I liked the nature and the road itself more in this plot. This year I have lost all desire to continue collecting my favorite games on retro consoles. Due to the actions of resellers, prices have risen significantly, constant competition with hucksters in an attempt to have time to buy the copy you need before they buy everything and put it twice more expensive at local flea markets. I don't need these video games.
I'm not a hardcore gamer by any measure. But I grew up in the 80's and 90's - too poor to have a computer myself. But I played them at my friends houses, and the nostalgia from watching your videos is palpable!
Should've stopped by Sunken Treasure Games in Richland on your way to Spokane! Loved seeing you show the rest of the state finally as an Eastern Washingtoner
Fantastic video! You should explore Washington state more, makes for a great video. I’ve read in books like ‘Travels with Charley, and ‘The art of Zen and motorcycle maintenance’ about that type of country (might have been slightly south) but either way that mountain range is awesome. This video is one of your best dude.
I just visited Super Smash Video Games in the Tacoma area. I had never seen so many Sega Saturn games up close. Your vids inspired me of exploring of Washington state more and I'm not a local. Great Vid! 👍
DMP in the house ppl!!! How i missed him its been ages since he has been on your channel..still remember the cooking u both used to do lol..so glad to see you both on the channel again..big up to DMP!!
Fun road trip! You guys got lots of sun this summer though and it was hot! I lived in Seattle for 13 years and went to Ellensburg for my last year of college. It was pretty cold there in the winter. I'm now in Phoenix but would rather have the heat down here than up there. My friends there have no A/C and that would be miserable! Always enjoy your game hunting videos, thank you!
3:57 not only because of the lockdown, but because Clone Hero is getting really popular these days. Thankfully! The CH team works a lot to make the game as good as possible, and the community is also pretty great.
this is amazing. love the footage of the whole trip and not just the store. really gives you a sense of the location. A travel show through a gamer's eyes. As someone who love the US and hasn't travelled for 2 years seeing this made me quite emotional.
I don't live anywhere near the U.S. But I really enjoy these videos, makes me feel like accompanying some pals looking for games, relating to doing the same with my brother at times.
I always love your videos, but this one was truly special and one of the best in a long time (don't take that the wrong way). I say that because you had some great things going on here that either are just plain fun (showing the environment in the Yakima/Spokane area along with the snow in the mountains- that was cool), but then BOOM! Drunken Master Paul in the HOUSE! (I know, I know, pandemic and you moved too, so WE have no idea if you moved closer or farther away from Paul. Then if that wasn't a great enough surprise… John Riggs shows up! (Albeit John's appearance was a cameo sort of, and we got to see the radio station too. Very cool.) After all of that the shops you went to were really great shops. I know you moved about an hour south of where you used to live and where that is in relation to the rest of the JMR gang lives we wouldn't know. So, that may cause you not to see some people as often, like Reggie for example. I need to start getting some of my cohorts in my videos... but I may need some ether or chloroform to get them in my studio in front of a camera hahaaa! (not kidding). Have a great weekend, MJ. (P.S. more Drunken Master Paul let's plays!) Dude, I could take you around to all the great places in Ohio NW & NE Ohio. There's great places here too!
I had been thinking about one of these stores carrying strategy guides literally SECONDS before your camera swung into view of a massive shelf full of guides. I miss them.
At first I thought "Oh my God why is that Tetris 99 dollars" but I am assuming thats the super rare Japanese variant of it? I swear I saw a video talking about it a year or so ago. Pretty cool.
honestly where are they coming up with these prices? I went into a retro store last weekend and saw a Super Metroid, not in box, no manuals or anything for $150.00. I also saw a sega genesis (not modified- like with the HD plug soldered into the system so you can use HDMI) with sega cd and 32x all together for $250.00... AT MOST that genesis with the attachments should have been $70 to $80 bucks. It's very common stuff. I know they the pickers are screwing up the hobby, but this is ridiculous, especially when I go to a flea market and see a guy set up with 10 snes systems all with the same 10 games each one priced at $250.00. ALL retro systems, other than the ones that have been refurbished with new parts and setup for HD should be below $40. The ones that have been refurbished with new parts I can understand pricing at $60 to $80 and the ones with the HD a little bit more, but these people are crazy thinking people will pay that price on an old system that you can find at yard sales and flea markets for $10.
I would never buy stuff at these prices unless it was something I couldn’t find elsewhere. For example a loose copy of Tetris gameboy for $99.99? That has to be a typo, I looked on price charting and didn’t see any variant worth that much. HOWEVER these game stores probably have a LOT of overhead costs like rent, wages, and so on and therefore have to charge higher prices to cover the costs.
Game World has a great selection of trinkets and games but sadly they’re the kind of shop where the prices change at the cash register. Not every employee does it but far to often they do. Shouldn’t even put the prices on the boxes if you’re just going to change them anyway.
I remember playing the Carmen SanDiego games in the mid-80s on the Apple IIe at school on those green monitors. Seemed like by the time it booted up I barely had time to play! Thanks for highlighting these stores. I used to order from 4Jays in Antioch, CA - they’d likely be worth a video. I found a few stores in the Tampa/Lakeland, FL area that I liked.
Take a drink every time I say “cool” …but please don’t die 😂
Cool game…ehm I mean….funny 😅😜🤣
Burp...
This is probably not the first time you guys have had G strings on your face and money in your hand…
My... my... my name... Yes, my name is - you now, haha...YES! - Damn he said "cool" again ... 🍺I'm just going to bed 🤣
or "Does not disappoint"
Thank you for visiting my humble town of Yakima. Yeah, we advertise '300 Days of Sunshine'. Until next time!
Riggs! Thanks so much for showing us around town. Fantastic time in Yakima. We'll be back
1 up video games is my favorite local video game store in Yakima I go there a few times a month I buy both consoles and games thats so cool you did a video on 1up video games
Hows the humidity? Florida might be my cause of death 😂ten years and still not used to it.
I love when John Riggs shows up in a MJR video!
@@RinVindor101 In Yakima, we live in the desert so unless it just rained we have pretty much ZERO humidity.
That graded pokemon blue was the most expensive trade in I ever took in, all my years working at Game World. Thanks for shining a light on all the hard work our boss and team puts into the community over here.
It was also an absolute honor meeting you and drunken Master Paul!
I cant provide the amount of customer service I do without you all 💜
The version I have has the white E with the pixelized outline. Did they release a version with the black E later on?
I always look forward to your road trip videos. I like how you take the time to talk about the locations in detail with great footage. Those retro game stores look awesome.
Thank you very much!
Its great that you still give the PSP some love. It's how I stumbled upon your channel, looking for PSP hidden gems. 7 years later and still watching. 👍
I love these videos: where the journey, destinations, and pick-ups are all rewarding!
They are a ton of fun to make too. Thanks for watching!
@@MetalJesusRocks Yes epic travels and some epic finds , amazing to find out that John is a DJ ,,
These are by far my favorite videos you put out. Love to see the unique things you can find in your area lol
Wow... that change from snow to bright blue skies was awesome. (In the middle of OCTOBER!?)
I'm from Indiana, so we definitely get snow here, but usually not until late November/early December.
What a great video... Keep it up MJR!
That radio tour was sweet, had no idea they consolidated stations like that but it makes sense. Always love these vids man, have a good weekend.
Modern Radio stations ARE a marvel of technology and efficiency... but also, IMO, its incredibly sad what has become of radio. There are NO "flavors" to radio anymore its just unmanned desks running pre-prepared programs.
It aint WKRP anymore... still very cool to see a station though.
Good to see DMP again. We definitely need a Gamer Eats episode soon.
Agree on that.
+1
Same
I’m being serious thanks for including the different weather you encountered up there. I find it very interesting, never knew it was like that there :)
6:50 you just said how it isn't raining and its so sunny, yet your windshield wipers are on... :)
Cleaning the bugs off the windshield. 😂
Great pickups! I loved Wolfenstein on the Jaguar back in the day!
I just loved how he took the time to flat out tell us all and educate us all about the weather and the scenery how washington is and also a tour of one of their occupational zones. And back story of their interests. And beer... Lol before getting to video games. That was something you dont see jason do much :)
Some of my favorite vids. Can't wait to see these pick-ups in a vid with Reggie!
I was just talking to him the other day. Think we'll hang out soon 👍
Those road trips/pickup videos are my favorite thing to watch on TH-cam, Thank you MJR.
I kinda loved the story element to this video. Everyone loves a road trip. Nice little distraction today. Thanks MJR
You bet
Excellent video of some very cool retro video games stores. Really enjoyed the tour.
Love your out and about shorts. Keep up the good work, greetings from the other side of the pond 😄
Rockin' the shorts til November. 😎
Beautiful scenery! What are you shooting with these days on the road? My wife is a second degree black belt and has started learning stick fighting .
This entire video was shot w/ 2 iPhones & a GoPro HERO8 Black. 245 individual clips. I did do a lot of color correcting in Final Cut to try and make things match a little bit better.
Hey Lon… Love and subscribed to your channel

You're so welcome!
Great to see Paul and Riggs! It is funny how weather changes radically :-) Very nice to see road trip and travelling and especially game hunting!
From rain and snow to sunny skies and warmth all within an hour. It was wild. 😎
@@MetalJesusRocks You should look at Texas weather. Hot and humid majority of the time. Of course, there are unusual weather like Febraury 2021 polar freeze that doesn't come often but rare.
Great video, sir! Love me some American road trips. Especially on the western part.
Hey Metal Jesus I love the pickups video

Awesome road trip! Love seeing all these Game Stores you have overseas.
@3:36 I want that GI Joe game. I still randomly hum the stage themes to myself. Loved that game!
Love your video game hunting videos.
Glad to see DMP. Love your road trip videos.
Can't think of a better way to spend my Friday evening then with a beer and the Metal messiah himself , showing us the brilliant shops in his state.
Man I would watch a travel vlog of yours of you just going down the street. You do such an awesome job with these.
I would never pay those prices, but I appreciate the different videos with the various stores with what they have and how they try to make themselves unique.
I’ll buy them for you
I love these kinds of videos! About a month ago a new retro game store moved in right down the road from me. Then a couple days ago I discovered there’s a vintage toys and video game store right next door and apparently that place has been there for 10 years. Lol
This has made me dead set on going on a road trip to go game hunting with some friends
I'm from Liverpool but I really love these videos for the insight it gives to small town America. Those locations are really fascinating to me and I've always wanted to visit/live somewhere like that in future. Thanks so much
Same here. I'm from near Liverpool myself. It's pretty cool seeing all these American places and environments
Such a beautiful state. I appreciate the work you put in on baking this video and I love your friends.
Cool video and game pickups. Keep up the good work. Up The Irons !!!
Love these videos!
Glad you like them!

It really is!
ikr. its my fav console EVER!!
Man I got to play my PSP more, I found so many awesome games on the system it's staggering, many of which I've yet to acquire.
Awesome vid dude. Can’t wait for your next road trip.
I really like these gaming road trips of yours!!!
Thanks! They are a lot of fun to make.

Funny how you driving this Volkswagen Golf GTI. Its considered a special faster model over here in Europe. Awesome seeing you driving our wheels
I love my 2013 GTI w/ the Autobahn package. It's a sleeper car for sure 😉
@@MetalJesusRocks I can understand haha, keep on making more road trips in it! Love your videos!
Oh wow, the 1up games store had a copy of Silius! Man that game had the best sound track ever created by man. I was 10 and I loved it.
Why are you everywhere? 😂
It's cool too see how you ground you're self so well for these road trip videos, you give us a detailed description of where you are going, weather comparison, seasons and other geographic info. Makes these videos super interesting and educational for people who do not know washington state in general. Cheers 🙌🏾👍🏾
Keep up these styles of videos! I really enjoy checking out other game stores. Always fun to watch. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! Will do!

Really nice! nothing like a road trip with a buddy, discovering new places and meeting friends!
I'm over in the UK and love these travelogue and gaming combo videos-keep them coming please
As an eastern Washington native I love to see this! I wish Wenatchee had a better retro gaming scene!
I flew to Spokane once and drove from there to Missoula. It was absolutely beautiful, especially the Coeur D’Alene area.
DMP in the house ppl!!! How i missed him its been ages since he has been on your channel..still remember the cooking u both used to do lol..so glad to see you both on the channel again..big up to DMP!!

Great video glad to see drunken master paul in a video again.
I know right? He's been super busy running his new Midnight Cookie Company since he bought it in 2020. I missed hanging with the dude...
This is great 👍, I love watching traveling videos.

Road trip in a VW GTI? Sounds like a Win already👍
Wide open roads, metal music cranking on the stereo. It was glorious.
Finally someone who noticed the car!
Dude, even your B roll, nice stuff. Also, support your local video game store, long live Yakima. Good video.
Much appreciated!

Wow graded $1000 pokemon blue, must have traded it in after he realized WATA grading is a scam.

Metal Jesus's videos are just majestic masterpieces.
Game World has a great selection of trinkets and games but sadly they’re the kind of shop where the prices change at the cash register. Not every employee does it but far to often they do. Shouldn’t even put the prices on the boxes if you’re just going to change them anyway.
