    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 RUclips icon!👍

    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 RUclips!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Alright, so after reading endless RUclips 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.

  • @kaytee7607

    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.

  • @sublime90

  • @McNuttify

    @punk51984 8 лет назад +1

    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.

  • @xaviervonparker8737
    @xaviervonparker8737 7 лет назад +1

    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!

    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.

  • @YearOfTheSwagon

    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 :).

    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 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!*
