  • Merry Christmas and Yippee-Ki-Yay! Welcome to the RETRO REPLAY holiday special where Nolan North and Troy Baker finally come to terms on whether or not Die Hard is or isn't a Christmas Movie. They also happen to be playing the 1996 PlayStation game based on the Bruce Wills films Die Hard Trilogy. Grab your spiked eggnog and your ugly Christmas sweater and get ready for some advice from Santa Noly while Troy reenacts 84.3% of Die Hard with near perfect accuracy. This is the season finale of Level One (aka Season One) but oh so much more is coming in 2019. Thanks for watching and laughing with us so far. This is RETRO REPLAY.
    Let's Play! 🕹️

    Nolan's and Troy's parenting stories were so nice and so sincere, I cried a few tears. I haven't been watching RR for the last few weeks, this is the first episode I got back to and it was like coming back to old friends and picking up right where you left off :D
    Thanks for the laughs and the good feels every week as always, merry christmas, and see you next level!

  • @Avalon247
    @Avalon247 5 ปีที่แล้ว +59

    i have to agree with Santa Noly. passing on the legacy of Santa is a way of keeping the magic strong and unbreakable for one generation to the next, and also, reminding those to have forgotten the magic. for me, I have always love the magic of christmas, even of one your spending it alone.

  • @Ted2of25
    @Ted2of25 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    When Noly talks about the "magic" of Santa it reminds me of one of my favorite Christmas movie, "The Santa Clause" starring Tim Allen.
    "Seeing isn't Believing...Believing is SEEING."
    That moment when he turns that cynical psychiatrist into a believer is so god damn beautiful!

  • @carlosnascimento9269

Love you guys!

      Gremlins is a Christmas movie. The only real requirement is that Christmas is part of the movie. Gizmo is and Christmas gift hence Gremlins is a Christmas movie and John McClane is going to a Christmas party.

      I would say no because they never got anywhere. Old games like that don't save until after you've beaten a level. They never beat level one so it didn't save. And they never beat whatever level Drew was on so, again, no save.

    I agree wholeheartedly with Noly, let your kid believe in Santa. It's the whole heart and magic of Christmas, even when you stop believing. I remember my dad used to get up on the roof and bang around to make it sound like Santa. And there was one year our dog peed on the Christmas tree, and my parents said it was Rudolph. Santa Clause is the spirit of Christmas and I couldn't imagine a childhood without him.

    Thank you Drew, Nolan and Troy for providing me (and everyone else) with great laughs and moments each week surrounding games, but more importantly, life experiences. It truly has been a pleasure to feast my eyes and ears on the great content with each subsequent episode rarely not better than the last. I have learned a lot about what makes Nolan and Troy who they are and I am truly grateful for that, you don't get this level of connection on other shows, it gives me the illusion of being lifelong pals without ever having of met them ;)
    Thank you for an amazing level 1 and I look forward to what level 2 brings. There's still a chance my Retro Replay shirt will make it here (Western Australia - not Perth where you are from Nolan haha a bit more south) before Christmas and I will be wearing it (hopefully) whilst watching Die Hard on Christmas Eve.
    Merry Christmas to all and keep embodying the spirit of Santa ;)

    Since we're sharing Christmas stories I thought I'd throw one out that seems at least a little relevant!
    So it was Christmas of 2008, I was just about 11 years old. I *Loved* games but we were kind of a broke family, it was just me and my brother and my mom. We had to skip the PS3 the year before but it didn't bother us too much, we loved getting games for our older consoles and we were pretty understanding of everything.
    So me and my brother would usually both get some sort of game for Christmas. My brother would always get the more violent of the two games because it would make my mother feel better (haha) and I remember that year we opened our game-shaped presents, super excited, and mine was Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction, my brother's was Uncharted (woo). You can imagine, two kids who just got games for a console they didn't have, we were so disappointed because my mother didn't know much about games. We figured she had just picked up the wrong thing. We tried to be cool about it but she could tell we were heartbroken because we were trying to tell her in the nicest way possible that she got it wrong. She was like "Doesn't it work? On the Playstation? They're playstation games" and of course we were like "No, we only have the second one"
    Then she goes "Ah shit, better give you guys this then." and she reaches behind the tree and pulls out a big old square box and lo and behold it had the PS3 in that bad boy.
    My mom has since passed away, and this Christmas memory is one of the ones I hold dearest not because we got a PS3 out of it, but because it reminds me of the intricate theater and effort my mother would put into making christmas magical. She would set up these elaborate Christmas day situations that have stuck with me for years. I hope this Christmas everyone down here in the comments, Drew, Noel and Troy all have a wonderful Christmas, and that everyone in your families will stay happy and healthy for years and years to come!

    Nolan's lovely rant about passing the mantle of Santa down the generations is the true spirit of Christmas. I'll miss you guys, come back soon!

    That is a very wholesome, sincere, and wonderful way of explaining the spirit of Christmas to your children Nolan.
    I taking it, it's mine now.

    I agree with Nolan about the Santa thing so much and thanks to Nolan I will be telling my kids in the future the exact same thing
