3''You Can Play This!'' was an Internet review show formerly on Website/ChannelAwesome by Justin Carmical, a.k.a. [=JewWario=]. It focused on Japanese import games which, as the title of the show suggests, can be played by people who can't speak Japanese. Justin reviewed the games and gave the audience hints how to play successfully.
4
5He also had a regular live stream every Friday on which he often had producers from TGWTG as guests as well as [[WebVideo/PatTheNESPunk PatThe]][[AndZoidberg NESPunk]].
6
7Justin had left TGWTG around February 15, 2013. He continued to make content for Website/YouTube and his own site. Around then he'd been doing a lot of cooking videos of mostly Asian cuisine (''You Can Cook This''), and had cited in one of his livestreams that both he and the staff of TGWTG agreed that the viewers of Website/ChannelAwesome were not the target audience for this. He since also produced shows on barcode scanning games (''Scan This!'') and import gaming news segments (''The Pipeline''). He had since then joined up with Retroware.TV meaning he was once again colleagues with WebVideo/PushingUpRoses.

9Tragically, however, on January 23, 2014, [[http://atopfourthwall.tumblr.com/post/74560443521 Justin committed suicide.]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Suicide}} He was missed by family, friends, and fans alike.]]
10
11In Spring 2018, allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual crimes arose from his time at the channel, revealing the cause of his split with Channel Awesome.
12
13One of his last projects, ''Film/FarewellFamiKamenRider'', was completed by WebVideo/MarzGurl as a tribute.
14
15!!This show contained the following tropes:
16* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: The Evil in the WA☆RI☆ON Saga
17* AuthorAppeal: {{Cat Girl}}s.
18* BadassLongcoat: As worn by Yanki J.
19* BerserkButton: Don't even think about mentioning River Song from ''Series/DoctorWho''. The reaction ain't pretty.
20* TheCameo: Did quite a few, often with other Channel Awesome contributors. He also offered Creator/MarcMues a rhyme in his ''Worst 6 Pop Songs of 2011'' video.
21* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Yanki J started out as pretty badass, but as he developed as a character, he became more of a MilesGloriosus LovableCoward.
22* CloudCuckoolander: In crossovers he tended to be the oddest of the group, prone to cross dressing or randomly stating that he likes pudding.
23* ClusterFBomb: Mario Monologues.
24* CombinedEnergyAttack: [[spoiler: The conclusion of the WA☆RI☆ON Saga: Jew Wario has his fans give him their positive energy, giving him -- and Yanki J. -- the power to defeat the evil.]]
25* CreepyDoll: Justin was scared witless of dolls, as evidenced in his ''J-Dub in the Dark'' playthroughs of ''Fatal Frame''. He claimed on a livestream that this is because a family member of his has an extensive collection of some really freaky-looking dolls.
26* {{Crossover}}:
27** With [[WebVideo/TheBunnyPerspective Phil Buni]] for the ''Sexy Platform/{{Famicom}} Moments'' video.
28** He did another with WebVideo/DiamandaHagan to review ''Zombeak.''
29** He reviewed ''TabletopGame/SwordGirls'' with Creator/ChaosD1.
30** Filled in for Tara for the May 28, 2012 and January 20, 2014 episode of ''[[WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?]]'' on Radio Dead Air.
31** Has reviewed the first three Pokemon movies with Suede and Linkara.
32** Recently helped with ''WebVideo/WeirdVideoGames'' when he and Tom covered ''Yume Penguin Monogatari''.
33** Had often made appearances in the WebVideo/FamicomDojo web videos.
34* {{Delinquent}}: Yanki J. was one when he was younger, and still dressed like one.
35* DiscardAndDraw: [[spoiler: The [=NegaDub=] drains the WA☆RI☆ON powers from Justin ending the legacy of the WA☆RI☆ON... but then Justin gets the improved Rider belt (in the form of a portable Famicom system) and becomes the Famikamen Rider.]]
36* DropInCharacter: Yanki J.
37* TheEveryman: Mario in his Mario Monologues.
38* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The Evil from the WA☆RI☆ON Saga...is the embodiment of evil and gets power from it.
39* {{Fanboy}}: Of oh so many things.
40** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic He was a brony]], and Fluttershy was his favorite.
41** [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor Who]], particularly the classic years. He's made it well-known that he ''loves'' the late Creator/ElisabethSladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith.
42** [[Franchise/KamenRider He adored Kamen Rider]], which eventually led to the creation of his Famikamen Rider character. There wasn't a weekly stream that went by where it's not mentioned at least once.
43** Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure. In his review for the ''Ougen No Kaze'' [=PS2=] game, he talks about how he got the SNES game ([[invoked]][[NoExportForYou that was never released outside of Japan]]) the day it came out, and got both the Japanese and American releases of the fighting game for both the [=PS1=] and Dreamcast. And he had been reading the series since 1987, long before anyone stateside had even ''heard'' of the series.
44* {{Fanservice}}: Every time he was Jareth. The ladies from his Labyrinth game review and from the MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover WebVideo/SuburbanKnights just adored him. It's even gotten him fangirls.
45** For Cosplay fans, his wife as ''[[CuteGhostGirl Grace]]''
46* TheGhost: Anyone other than Mario in the Mario Monologues.
47* GhostMemory: [=JDub=] carried the memories and personalities of his Warion predecessors in his mind. [[spoiler: Or at least, he did until the [=NegaDub=] killed him and drained him of his powers.]]
48* GaggingOnYourWords: In the ''VideoGame/PopNMusic'' review.
49--> A lot of you have asked why I don't review bad video games. Well, I'm going to. Right now.
50--> You see, in 2008, [=XBox=] 360 put out a thing called... Beat'n... ''(starts to gag)'' Hold on...
51--> It was called Beat'n Grrrwuh... hold on hold on... hold on. ''(takes a drink of soda)''
52--> It was called Beat'n.... Groovy. And ''wow,'' is it bad!
53* HehHehYouSaidX: J-Dub said this often, usually about the [[ComicallyMissingThePoint entirely wrong thing]].
54* HostileShowTakeover: Yanki J. ties up Jew Wario and takes over his ''[[HotBlooded Nekketsu]]! Street Basket'' review.
55** [[spoiler: The [=NegaDub=] tries this as well -- and fails.]]
56* HypocriticalHumor: He chastised WebVideo/MikeJ for thinking Jews have superpowers and later hits him with a cyber punch.
57* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mario in the "Mario Monologues".
58** Yanki also qualifies. He may have treated [=JewWario=] like crap, beating him up on a regular basis and stealing his things, but deep down he truly cared about him.
59* {{Keet}}: Although not as much as WebVideo/{{Benzaie}}, Justin was quite excitable.
60* KindheartedCatLover: He often {{Squee}}d over [[CuteKitten KITTY!]] He admitted in an [[http://blip.tv/kittymarie/interview-with-a-fangirl-jewwario-5906957 interview]] that while he didn't actually consider himself an "animal person", he didn't mind playing the part for his videos.
61* TheLancer: Yanki J. He was usually sarcastic, and can sometimes be downright obnoxious, in contrast to Jew Wario's niceness.
62* MindRape: The Evil does this to Justin by gradually draining his memories (and [[GhostMemory those of the previous Warion]]).
63* MrFanservice: Justin had posted crossdressing photos, read porny fanfic in a sexy voice and had dressed up like Jareth.
64* MythArc: The WA☆RI☆ON Saga.
65* OffhandBackhand: Jew Wario's wife delivers one when he teases her with "not touching you!"
66* PsychoSidekick: Yanki J.
67* RealMenWearPink: Justin proudly (and frequently) sported a pair of badass pink Converse sneakers. In spring 2012, he sold the pair he wore in both ''Kickassia'' and ''Suburban Knights'' on eBay. Today, those shoes are owned by Katie Dunne, aka ''Kitty Marie'', who is considered to be Justin's biggest fan (see ''Heartwarming'' page for more on her).
68** Yanki J would take time out from discussing hitting someone with a baseball bat to mention his love of enka music.
69* RefusalOfTheCall: In the WA☆RI☆ON Saga, Yanki J. refused the position, so it was passed on to Jew Wario.
70* TheRival: In the Mario Monologues, [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]]. Fucker owes him five bucks!
71* RunningGag: KITTY!
72* SharedUniverse: Since he was part of Channel Awesome and participated in its anniversary specials, he was automatically part of the Reviewaverse.
73* ShoutOut: One of his intros is a reference to Series/KamenRiderBlackRX's TransformationSequence, using the music from RX's appearance in ''Series/KamenRiderDecade''.
74** Death of the Warion Part 2 opens with [[spoiler: [=JewWario=] coming back to life and the BigBad quoting Niska from {{Series/Firefly}} : "When you die, I can't hurt you anymore, and I want two days at least. Minimum."]]
75* SpecialEffectsFailure:[[invoked]] Parodied in the ''VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}}'' review, where [=JewWario=] does a ludicrously bad split-screen with himself and [=FamiKamen=] Rider. Which is followed by Yanki J [[LampshadeHanging complaining about the quality]], to which J-Dub responds that he's never had to do a split-screen effect before. [[HypocriticalHumor Said during a nearly flawless split-screen.]]
76* {{Squee}}: His enthusiasm playing Anime/GoLion, aka Anime/{{Voltron}}, in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW''.
77** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e96HMTwqAbA Kitty!]]
78** And when he gets a [[Series/KamenRiderDouble W Driver toy]].
79** Classic ''Series/DoctorWho'' episodes--and especially reunions with "old friends" from the classic show in the new series.
80* {{Tsundere}}: His wife seems to invoke this in some of her appearances in his videos. There was the time she hit him every time he started spacing out because of [[PerverseSexualLust Konami Lady]], and another when she hit J.Wario's face when he started to annoy her with a "Not touching you!" routine.
81* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: ''Scan This!'' has a segment dedicated to this courtesy of ''Barcode Battler''. To date Edward Cullen (as the barcode of the novel ''Literature/{{Twilight|2005}}'') reigns supreme, though.
82* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Jew Wario's wife enters his basement, sees him, Yanki J and [=NegaDub=], and doesn't bat an eyelash.
83* WhamEpisode: Part 1 of "Death of a Warion", which ends with [[spoiler: Justin coming downstairs and being being fatally stabbed in the stomach by the [=NegaDub=]. The final scene shows Justin dying on his basement floor.]]
84* WorldOfWeirdness: The Reviewaverse. Pretty obvious considering [=JewWario=] is a superpowered tokusatsu-style superhero with a video game theme.
85* YouAreNotAlone / YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre:
86-->''"I want you all to look at me. Because what I’m about to say is important. I’ve been thinking about this a lot; a lot lately. And I want you all to know this. This goes out to everybody. You’re not stupid. Okay? You’re not stupid. Don’t ever tell yourself that you are. You’re important. What you have in your head may not mean a lot to a lot of people, but its what makes you special. You are important. You mean something. And you’re going to go out there, and you’re gonna to do some wonderful things. But, first and foremost, you’re not stupid. You’re not an idiot. Don’t ever tell yourself that you are. And, if nobody else ever tells you this, I will tell you this; I care about you."''
87* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: [[spoiler: Jew Wario and Yanki defeat the Evil....but it turns out it was Yanki's Evil. The Evil Jew Wario must face has yet to come.]]
88** [[spoiler: And it now has come, in the form of the [=NegaDub=].]]
