The game H.E.R.O. by Activision is considered one of the best games for the Atari 2600 and it just happens to be one of my favorite games of all time! The game was pretty advanced for the time and it is still a challenging and fun game to play today. I do my best to try and get through all 20 original levels in this video. Can I make it?

Games We Want Updated & HD-ified w/Kelsey
Some games are so good they refuse to die and instead deserve another chance at life. Often it’s just that they need updated graphics to be more modern…and other times they may need an entire overhaul from the ground up! In this video Metal Jesus & Kelsey list off some of the games they would like to see HD-ified for a new generation!

Complete Original XBOX Collection – 884 Games – What the heck!?
An entire original XBOX collection was sold to Pink Gorilla Games in Seattle and Kelsey walks us through some of the more rare and expensive games as well as just some of the BEST games for the console! While filming this video, there was a very active karaoke bar in the same building, which is what you hear in the background. Normally I would just reshoot some of that, but I thought it was kind of funny…so we rolled with it!
BTW: The owner of the XBOX collection did not give us permission to disclose how much he was paid for the entire collection. Sorry!

Second Coming of METAL JESUS – My YouTube Channel to 11
It’s time to turn my YouTube channel up to 11! I am re-launching my Patreon campaign to make all of my new videos AD-FREE! Also I plan on recording new Audio Commentaries on my most popular videos, bring back new GAMER EATS and I HATE U episodes, plus Google Hangouts, Live Streams and more. Maybe even Roxie the Dog will get to challenge you at a game of Mario Kart…but she gets to play as the plumber…

The $5 BAD GAME CHALLENGE – Game Questing
Occasionally it’s fun to do something a little different on my YouTube channel: Metal Jesus takes Wood from BeatEmUps & TheBigJB around the Seattle area game hunting or “questing”. He also challenges them to find the WORST GAME for $5 or under…that isn’t Bubsy 3D!
Wood’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/BeatEmUps
TheBIGJB:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBigJB
This video was a bit of a challenge to edit because I had originally hoped to show more normal game pickups…but in the end, it really became all about the $5 Bad Game Challenge. Sure we picked up a few non-shitty games…but nothing amazing. So in the end, the video got trimmed quite a bit to make it zip along more and I think it’s better for it.
Also…shooting the b-roll green screen stuff really made the video pop! Tiffany in particular had some really funny “outsider” remarks about how stupid we all were. She was kinda nervous she would come across as bitchy in the video…but I thought she was hilarious and just made it even better!
Hope you guys enjoy it!
