History Awesome / ProtonJon

* Jon's amping his game for 2018 for Game Clearing: he's gunning for clearing _64_ games in one year!

* After all the setbacks he suffered, be it sickness, conventions, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs convention sickness]], and a whole lot of commitments and other life stuff, Jon finally managed to reach his goal of completing 52 games within a year in late December of 2017!

** When he fights the Ark Reactor with Jirard (after first being demolished by Hammer Force and continuing), the duo get to Runner Force and then Jirard gets cornered and finished off. ProtonJon, being stuck with flare (Fire and Force), has trouble dealing damage to him. Runner Force hits him while he's at 8 Vitality... bringing Jon down to exactly 1 hit point. He immediately finishes off Runner Force.

** During Jon's rant about his troubles with the ''Superman 64'' project, a Twitch viewer told Jon to "[[QuitYourWhining quit being a bitch and finish the game]]". He was immediately banned on the spot, only for Jon to tell the moderators to ''unban'' the guy because he actually agreed with the person that called him out. As harsh as the comment was, Jon agreed that he needed to finish the project on his own terms instead of complaining about it.

** From the same stream, Jon does surprisingly well in [[ThatOneLevel Turbo Tunnel]] from ''Battletoads''. He doesn't beat it, but several people in the chat pointed out that he still did better with the Power Glove than they could with actual, functional controllers.

* In ''GunstarHeroes'', beating [[ThatOneBoss Seven Force]] ''on his first try'', on his own. Especially since [[SpringtimeForHitler he was expecting to die at any time so he could let his partner Jirard re-enter as player 2, but it never happened]]. Jirard's reaction was pure awe.

-->'''Jon:''' Pay up, Jewker.

* During "Fortune Cookie: Time to Press Buttons Edition", Jon gets two five-minute submissions that end up blowing everyone's mind. The first is a remake of the Raid Countermeasures video by [=MasterTimeThief=] that uses the full ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' parody from ''Film/{{UHF}}'' rather than just a 1-minute condensed version, complete with a slew of in-jokes old and new from Jon's streams and his friends', and the second is a cover of "House of the Rising Sun" by [=TallManStan=] that manages to move everyone to tears because of just how good Stan's singing is. The latter happened to impress everyone so much '''[[PromotedFanboy that it led to Stan becoming a mod!]]'''

* In {{Wario Land}}, Jon defeats Zenisuki, the boss of Parsley Woods, with [[spoiler: 10 seconds left on the clock.]]
* Managing to subvert his infamous ScheduleSlip issues for once in {{Wario Land}}, by having ''zero'' delays or hiatuses throughout the entire project.

** A secondary reason Jon has for seeing it through to the bitter end is him learning that he said [=LP=] could ''legitimately'' get a World Record for the Longest Running Let's Play ever made.

* During the March 1st, 2017 Fortune Cookie stream, Jon goes into a rant about his difficulties with the Superman 64 project. He ''then'' admits that [[TheDeterminator he is]] ''[[TheDeterminator going]]'' [[TheDeterminator to finish it]] [[TakeThatAudience out of]] ''[[TakeThatAudience spite]]''.

-->'''Jon''': [T]he only way I will not finish that [=LP=] [[TakingYouWithMe is if I pass away]], [[FunnyMoments which means I now have to worry about assassination attempts...]]

* In his "Game Clearing Stream - 20 Down, Many To Go", Jon plays ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}'' for the first time in three years and gets to the infamous "[[ThatOneSidequest Veni Vidi Vici]]" trinket challenge, which takes many people (including skilled gamers) an hour or more. He beats it in ''four minutes and 40 attempts''.

** Also the chat who flooded the ScrewAttack twitch chat with support making it almost solely consist of people supporting him

** The entire part 2 of Desperate Escape consists of Jon and Jake performing tons of physical moves on the enemies like iron tackles, suplexes, hammerblows, etc. Some of the moves also resulted in YourHeadAsplode.

* During his livestreams, he gives an "egg" to anyone who subscribes to his stream, which involves paying him five dollars a month in exchange for some chat and stream priveleges, [[CosmeticAward an egg icon next to their username,]] and getting a voice clip of Wesker saying "[[MemeticMutation You will give me an egg!]]" played for them. Normally, people subscribe when funny stuff is happening a while into the stream, but in one stream, [[Creator/RLYoshi someone]] subscribed within ''two minutes'' of him starting. Cue the chat erupting briefly about "record egg time", and several other people following up with multiple subscriptions within the next fifteen minutes.

* On the 2/11/14 stream, Jon decided to host the first ever Bomberman Act Zero League Tournament. In a tournament lasting over 7 hours, moderator and designated ButtMonkey of Bomberman, Dan The Enigma ends up [[CueTheFlyingPigs winning the entire thing]] after months of [[RunningGag choking]] at the worst possible moment in-game. The best part? [[CurbstompBattle Dan dominated all of his matches with the exception of the semi-finals]]. To say he [[EarnYourHappyEnding earned his happy ending]] would be a bit of an understatement.

* In his "Game Clearing Stream - 20 Down, Many To Go", Jon plays ''VideoGame/VVVVVV'' for the first time in three years and gets to the infamous "[[ThatOneSidequest Veni Vidi Vici]]" trinket challenge, which takes many people (including skilled gamers) an hour or more.

* [=MasterTimeThief=]'s [[https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sv4rzx1mniun0ul/AAA16roJ-cvjkh_-g6HdBNdNa?dl=0 epic Weird Al parody song]] to celebrate Jon's tenth anniversary/

* In the Direct Relief charity stream in November 2016, Jon initially sets a donation target of $5000. He hits this target '''[[spoiler:half an hour]]''' into the 11-hour stream. In the end, Jon and his fans raised '''[[spoiler:over $22,000!]]'''

* Singing the entirely of [[JonathanCoulton "Skullcrusher Mountain"]] on TheSpeedGamers. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF446RD22ec View here.]]) What makes it awesome is the fact that he was ''extremely'' nervous [[PerformanceAnxiety singing it in front of people]], he was shaking throughout the whole thing, and he had to pause several times to regain his composure. Yet [[{{Determinator}} he never gave up, he did it despite his anxiety]], and he even got to show off his rather nice singing voice.

* Finally overcoming the dozens of problems preventing him from continuing ''Superman 64'' to release episode 8 in July 2016.

* During one livestream, a LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} fanboy sends Jon a long-winded FanDumb rant on how he should treat Emile better (based on their interactions on LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys), [[FanMyopia how gloriously amazing of a genius Emile is]], and how Jon's perpetrating a DoubleStandard by giving Emile shit for his quirks while completely tolerating Tim's [[CatchPhrase "In the bathroom!"]] shtick. Jon proceeds to utterly tear the fanboy apart, calling out the guy for hypocritically giving Tim shit for his quirks, before explaining that he sees Emile as a generally likeable person.

* Despite the frequent ScheduleSlip and relative infancy of his ''{{Superman 64}}'' LP it counts as one solely for the reason that as of yet ''no complete playthrough of this game exists on the Internet'' (in fact, it's next to impossible to find ANY footage of the game past the infamous rings). This effort was enough to make the LP ''[[http://kotaku.com/5736742/lets-see-if-superman-64-really-is-the-worst-game-of-all-time noticed by]] Kotaku''.

* The "Raid Countermeasures" video clip Jon made for his Twitch streams.
