    • Game Sack
    • Did You Know Gaming

    He's in his 40s, actually. I believe he's 41 now.

    I'm familiar with metal jesus, he does have some good vids and seems like a cool down-to-earth dude, despite his overthehill grunge rocker appearance. His console reviews are great but alot of his content lean towards "my recent pickups". He at least shows some game footage but seems to know nothing about the games. Still good stuff nonetheless, although his buddy "Idrinkbeeroncamtolookcool" should definitely get less camera time.
    I couldn't agree more about Drunken Master Paul. I really wish that he had less of a presence in Metal Jesus Rocks' show.

    VectrexRoli is pretty good for Vectrex and some other more obscure retro platforms: https://www.youtube.com/user/VectrexRoli

    I'm OK with him. I prefer the likes of HappyConsoleGamer and Retroliberty but MJR is alright by me. What about him do you feel "tries waaaay too hard" ? Please don't tell me it's all the female co-hosts he has on, . Joking... kinda.

    Pretty sure he means "I don't like MJR's buddy", referring to Drunken Master Paul. Not "I don't like MJR, buddy".

    Ohh, yup, on second look, you're probably right. And to which, re: MJR's buddy, I simply have no comment, lol...

    My whole thing for my channel is "commentary free gaming videos" so check that out if you think you might be interested, though I must warn you ahead of time that I am only just getting it stated again after a long hiatus so there isn't a whole lot going on at the moment, but that will surely change over the course of 2016.

    Link is in my signature.

    I like Gaming Historian's stuff. He recently did a great video about the Power Glove.
