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
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. 👍
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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. :)
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.💯
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!
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!
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.
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. :)
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!
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 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.
All I can say is this was such a wonderful video, so many incredible and beautiful things. Another great video from an outstanding channel. Hope you're doing well, have a great day. Cheers.
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.
Nice to hear you enjoyed yourself. After seeing irenes vlog from the other side this was cool. And yea Vipps is used damn near everywhere everything from bills to buss tickets.

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.

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 🤘🤘

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!

Look up the legendary Captain Sabertooth theme song. You don't need to know the lyrics, lol.

I mean you can drink tap water pretty much everywhere in western Europe, which Norway is part of. so it's really not that special.

@@MetalJesusRocks yeah Nordics love Commodore brand
When you enjoy Wardruna, you may also be interessed in "Heilung" a folk project that also play music inspired by the "Iron Age" 🖖

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?
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!
Any time! It was great meeting you as well
Those custom game room signs look amazing.
I made them, thanks❤️😊
Thank you for taking us with you on your adventure ! More metal Jesus visits videos please 🙏
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!

Norway, sweet.🤘
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 🤘
Glad to see you enjoy my homeland. Was a fun watch :)
you have awesome viewers who arranges trips like this, blessed brotha
Great as always! Very nice to see retro gaming in Norway, and also this helps to have a perspective of europeans life syle!
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😆
Nice! i checked to see if this was posted yet last night. Awesome footage man. Thanks
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!
Awesome video! Love how you combine video games and travel into a video game
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
Looks like an absolutely fantastic trip.
Glad that you had a great time, MJR! That SSX Tricky figure is sweet!
You make amazing travel vids, man. Well done and thanks!
Oh dude, Kvelertak is so good! Take a bit of time and listen to those two albums thoroughly, it’s fantastic!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your experiences in the beautiful country of Norway 🙂

We loved that drive every time we took it.
Travel Vlogs by you are the best! Been waiting for part 2!
Sweet! Last one was great, was waiting for it. Felt like I took a trip to snoreway waiting this long…
❤
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.
Both episodes great watch. Thanks for taking us to this expo :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
And now I wanna move to Norway. They are proud of their water. Huge on Electric Car adoption. Growing retro scene. Chefs kiss.
Great EP again Metal Jesus. Thank you.
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.
Thanks for sharing your trip and hauls. Shoutout to Brad, amazing person indeed!
Good for you for stretching your horizons. Nothing better than getting some culture in.

Great couple of videos as usual MJR, going to check out a few of those games you picked up!
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??" 😂
I Think We Need To Make A Trip To A Country & Game HUNT!
I heard Wardruna music for the first time while watching the Series Vikings, such a good match. The series is amazing as well.
The SSX 3 soundtrack was so damn good!
Let's gooo Cheers from Portugal!
How is the retro gaming scene in portugal?
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 :)
Lovely video, would love more Norway travel vids, it looked beautiful!
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.
You might know Einar Selvik from Wardruna from another context as he's also been drummer in Gorgoroth under the name "Kvithrafn"
Norway is beautiful!! Loved the 2 parts and the pick ups are class dude !!
always fun watching MJ from a third-person camera.. It's like watching a sasquatch walking.😄
I'm a PC gamer so that sealed KKND was a really nice pick, an underrated cult classic RTS for sure
Really cool video! Always love your trip vids!
All I can say is this was such a wonderful video, so many incredible and beautiful things. Another great video from an outstanding channel. Hope you're doing well, have a great day. Cheers.
Thank you so much!
Been stuck on the couch for weeks from knee surgery. I’ve been waiting on part 2!
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 😅.
Awesome video Sir. I always look forward to your videos.
Love your remotes MJR!
Amazing content as always!
Cash is king !!! Love the MJR tourist videos !!
Glad you like them!

yeah, i like that first kvelertak album a lot! need to visit norway sometime again, too.
Great Video Jason! Love seeing Norway! 🤘🏻
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.
Hey you're here! Velkommen til Norge! :)
Next time you visit Europe you need to go to Málaga, the video game museum is incredible!
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
Nice to hear you enjoyed yourself. After seeing irenes vlog from the other side this was cool. And yea Vipps is used damn near everywhere everything from bills to buss tickets.
