I can't quite explain how emotionally devastated I was for Robert Cook when he realised Johnny already had the Master System book. My heart can't take this
It's insane to think I've been watching for 15 years. The classic bandana days, the living room, the babyface. It's been a wild ride, boys. Here's to many many more 🍻
This is more than likely going to be the worst christmas I've experienced in my life coming up for many reasons from health of my family to my own mental health but I'm just glad I can still share in the joy of others. Thank you for all the awesome content you put out throughout the year and these annual christmas specials that Ive enjoyed watching every year since I stumbled across this awesome channel. Merry Christmas guys.
Thanks you guys. I appreciate it. And I wish you all nothing but the best and I hope you guys have an amazing christmas or whatever you happen to celebrate and an awesome new year.
Count me in as someone that marathons these specials every Christmas! Unfortunately this year’s been very rough on me particularly with mental health and it just hasn’t been the most fun Christmas season but these videos always come through in the clutch and put a smile on my face!
These Christmas specials are so special to me and my brother. We've been watching these yearly since about 2012 and every year we watch every episode over the december period. I moved out when I was 25 and live quite far from my family back home but we Carried on the tradition of watching these specials together by watching them together on xbox party chat through RUclips. We even open each others gifts the same night. Means a lot to us. Thank you for uploading them every year, I hope they continue for many many more years.
I wasn't really into the Christmas spirit this month, but here I am, sitting in my room sipping on a cup of warm tea after finishing the video, feeling holly jolly as hell lol, Merry Christmas my parasocial friends!
Had to watch this episode before the 2023 Christmas special. Looking forward to the 16th year and I been watching since year 1 I am 39 years old now I was 23 years old when u guys started this.
My friends and I have been friend since the mid 90s. We call each other's cousins instead of friends, as we pretty much grew up together (born in 1987). I remember us spending the weekend together in the 90s playing smash 64, Mario party, and begging our mothers to stay together one more night. We’d wake up early to go to the convenient store to buy 1 cent gummy with the beer bottles we returned for money (10 cent for each bottle return). The pandemic has been hard on me to not be able to see them. I'm in my mid 30s and I miss those good old days.
I always save the latest Holiday Episode for when i wrap gifts on Christmas eve! Thank you guys for 15 years of holiday cheer, its as much of a tradition for us, the watchers as it is for you two! Merry Christmas and Happy new year!
I look forward to this every year 🎅 seriously guys, it cannot be overstated how important you guys and the channel are to so many fellow nerds. Thank you for all that you do and enjoy the festive season. Here's to 2023.
You and Rob helped get me into retro gaming/anime back in middle school with all the memories you've shared and nearly 10 years later those videos have become special memories of their own. Thanks for all the entertainment and positivity you guys bring into the world, have a Merry Christmas!
Man that last few minutes brought a tear to my eye guys. You both rock. Thanks so much for letting us share your awesome friendship. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Great video guys, as usual! My wife got me the Mega Man Legends vinyl also! I used to have the CD, Rock Man Dash original soundtrack that I bought at Electronic Botique back in the 90s. Once upon a time my car was broken into and my CD binder was stolen along with my prized CD!
Another great special and just wonderful to see two friends who have been friends for so long. It's really special - glad you guys cherish it! Hope you both have amazing Christmases!!! :)
Been here for over a decade now. There have been many times I've needed a "pick me up" around this time of year. Something to get me into the spirit. This tradition never fails. Thank you guys!
Finally got to this one after a rough Covid Christmas. Merry Christmas friends! I'm 27 now and have been watching since the beginning (jeeze guess I was a 12 year old when this magic started.)
Ive been watching you guys from the start and this is defo a highlight of my Xmas on RUclips. You are one of the few channels that I still activley watch still and find interesting and fun. Too many have either gone stale, or have turnign into "buy low, sell high" channels... which I hate. HAPPY CHRISTMAS both love to you and your families!! :)
I think I'm line with a lot of other folks who rewatch these Christmas specials every December. I always watch them while wrapping presents. This special was a lot fun as well. I hope you guys have a wonderful December and Happy New Year!
I love that you guys still do this after 15 years. I'm especially happy to see Rob in such good health after everything he's been through. Thank you for continuing to do these every year! Time to go back and binge the previous years videos!
I don't get around to watch any gaming content anymore, but I always enjoy watching these. My favorite episode is still when y'all couldn't afford any gifts for each other and just exchanged Christmas stories.
Not to make you guys feel old, but I started watching the channel as a young teenager. The Christmas specials made me feel good when my Christmases weren't always too great. I'm 25 now and still here!
We're a wholesome community because you (and Rob and all your guests) create an environment to celebrate wholesome memories (and painful ones). That's rarer than it should be. I've been watching for ~10 years and your message in this video has stayed true to what we all come here for. Merry Christmas!
Dude, I've said this before, but as a 43yo Canadian guy who has lived in Asia for the better half of my life now, seeing you two in these videos, hearing your memories, seeing your friendship.... it connects me with back home, and with my childhood and interest in video games in such an indescribably important way. Thank you, and please never stop
Man I remember when this started and how incredibly wholesome it was. It continues to this day to be one of the most heartwarming moments of the year for me.
My christmas is now complete!!! Christmas just isn't the same without this, I started watching these videos and your channel when I was 13 and now I'm 27 years old. Keep up the amazing work you two, Merry Christmas and I hope both of you and your families have an amazing 2023!!!!
Ahhh yes, Christmas has officially begun! Thanks for keeping the tradtion going, been watching for 13 years and I rewatch all of these every year to get myself into the Xmas spirit
These specials mean so much to me. I haven’t been watching the show for 15 years; I started watching in 2012, but this really puts me in the Christmas spirit. Thank you guys for everything.
To Jonny, Kim and Rob, I hope you all know that we viewers really appreciate you and think you're some of the best people within the RUclips gaming space. Thanks for this tradition, I love it so much. Have a great Christmas and here's to a brilliant 2023 for you all x
It's heartwarming to see best buds just being thankful for each other & acknowledging the roles & impact they have, each played in one another's lives. Happy Christmas 🎄 guys, here's to another 15 years.
It's amazing how you guys have been doing this for 15 years and only now someone gets someone something they already had. I think that's impressive. Merry Christmas guys and a Happy New Year.
Marathoning these specials will forever be a Christmas tradition for me. I've been watching these since I was 10 years old, and now I have a wife and my own amazing friends to share my Christmas with as well. Thanks for another amazing special, Merry Christmas!
I love these videos so much. This is one of the things of the year that makes me really happy. My husband and I love your show and the enthusiasm! Happy holidays you guys, and Cheers to 15 years!
15 years! Eventually you were going to get something that Johnny already had. A great record and don't feel bad Rob! It just shows that you know each other so well. Watch these every year leading up to Christmas and always watch the most recent episode while wrapping presents. Thanks for all your hard work and Merry Christmas!
Ohhh that failed handshake hehe 21:21, but aside from that, its always so nice to see you two together, not only on this Xmas specials, but to see the friendship you have together, its amazing, I am glad that you are part of my holiday season, and part of my life. Happy Xmas Rob and Johnny :)
Heyy! Merry Christmas guys! Im 27 years old now and watching this with tears in my eyes. I was around 15 years old when I started watching you. Your videos took me away my from my hard teen years. I always felt like home watching your vids. Never stop guys.. love you both!
The kindness you see from the people who gather here to watch your videos is a direct result of the kind of people you are, J & R! Merry Christmas! I should've put PS Gaiden and the SMS book on my wish list!
Greetings from Sweden. Love the show and the Christmas special. I gave the Mega Man Wily Wars Collector´s Edition to my friend for his birthday. It was like the Holy Grail for him aswell. I had written warnings all over the package. Told him and his girlfriend that I will not be held responsible for his mental health. When he saw the gift he was otherly speechless. Merry Christmas everyone!
Sitting down watching this and wrapping presents truly makes it feels like Christmas. Been watching y'all since I was a teenager! Here's to fifteen years
15 Years!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Wow! unreal! Thank you!
I'm also 30, and i still love it, it's incredible to think that i've been watching this for sooooo long!
After seeing this it now officially feels like Christmas. After watching this for the last 15 years ... Christmas wouldn't be the same without it
I can't quite explain how emotionally devastated I was for Robert Cook when he realised Johnny already had the Master System book. My heart can't take this

Thanks you guys. I appreciate it. And I wish you all nothing but the best and I hope you guys have an amazing christmas or whatever you happen to celebrate and an awesome new year.
Hang in there, buddy. I know far too well how dark things can be. It will get better. 🙌🏻
I am a grown ass man and I just squealed out loud in front of my wife when I saw the Christmas special episode was up. Merry Christmas to all of you!
Lol I feel that. It's almost the idea of it that has transcended what it actually is, but it's so lovely.
Found the Channel early this year. First time being apart of the Christmas Special. Merry Christmas to you boys.
You should go back and watch the old ones, there is some very memorable and great moments :)
Count me in as someone that marathons these specials every Christmas! Unfortunately this year’s been very rough on me particularly with mental health and it just hasn’t been the most fun Christmas season but these videos always come through in the clutch and put a smile on my face!
You guys have made this my favorite Christmas tradition! Thank you so much for all of the joy.
Always the Best episode of the year. Wishing all Happy holidays and lots gaming fun! Here’s to another 15 years to come! 🎉

And now, it finally feels like Christmas this year!
You know you're close with your friend when you see each other and Christmas finally starts kicking in
My friends and I have been friend since the mid 90s.
We call each other's cousins instead of friends, as we pretty much grew up together (born in 1987).
I remember us spending the weekend together in the 90s playing smash 64, Mario party, and begging our mothers to stay together one more night. We’d wake up early to go to the convenient store to buy 1 cent gummy with the beer bottles we returned for money (10 cent for each bottle return). The pandemic has been hard on me to not be able to see them. I'm in my mid 30s and I miss those good old days.
Can’t wait for the 2023 Christmas special!! Already binging all the specials now

My wife got me the Mega Man Legends vinyl also!
I used to have the CD, Rock Man Dash original soundtrack that I bought at Electronic Botique back in the 90s. Once upon a time my car was broken into and my CD binder was stolen along with my prized CD!
I made a small Christmas tradition for the past four years to watch these videos during Christmas eve morning
