Having acquired an impressive amount of video games over the years, Jon decided to challenge himself to clear various titles which he'd never gotten around to finishing. These efforts have yielded many hilarious moments since they began in 2017, several of which have been chronicled below:

---

2017 - The 52

2017 - The 52

• Game Clearing Stream
  • A viewer submits a mock trailer based on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, using sound clips and Twitch emotes. Jon watches it with the chat, and their reactions are priceless.
  • The entirety of the Captain Novolin playthrough
• Game Clearing Stream - 12/52 Games Cleared & Counting
  • For game number 13, Jon attempts to beat Snake Rattle 'n' Roll, a game that's apparently so brutal that, at one point, one of the co-comms claims it's HARDER and even more unfair than Battletoads. Naturally, it doesn't go well. After one too many moments of Fake Difficulty, especially with regards to the next-to-last level, Jon decides to savestate on the Retron 5 in order to show off the final boss... and then dies immediately by falling off the ledge.
  • He went back to the game to try and beat it legitimately after the stream was over. He beat it on his second try.
  • And after playing that and completing Pokémon Snap (Using a save file from a previous stream), his last game of the night ends up being the NES bootleg game Bible Adventures, at Khead's suggestion. According to Khead, there's a speedrun of the game that only takes 5 minutes, so he figures a normal run shouldn't take that long. The speedrun ends up only being for one segment of the game's three, and the game in total takes over two hours. Most of the other co-commentators give Khead shit about it for the entirety of the game's duration and for part of the next stream.
• From "Danger Squad Challenge: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Then Game Clearing Stream":
  • Since the Danger Squad challenge for Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is a timed run of a few of the game's stages, Jon does everything he can to not have to take a break for any reason. Naturally, this means that in the 30 minutes the challenge takes, he gets raided three separate times, leaving him totally unable to play countermeasures all but once - and even then it was only during a cutscene.
  • Despite Jon repeatedly and emphatically making his dislike for SA2B known while playing it, he ends up with the best time of everyone who'd done it thus far. This makes the previous record holder for the challenge, who actually likes the game, absolutely livid.
  • The first actual game Jon tries to complete is Vectorman. Initially, he tried loading it on a cartridge he bought as a kid, mainly to see if it qualified for a "Play to Win" contest SEGA was running back in 1994^note (He has beaten it before, but apparently it didn't count because he used the CALLACAB cheat, disqualifying him from the true ending), but that ended up falling through since the cartridge's internal board turned out to be broken. Then he tried playing a newer version of the game cartridge, only for it to crash immediately on the Retron 5. He finally settles on playing the game on the Genesis, and manages to get relatively far despite it being a hard game...only for the game to crash in the middle of stage 10. Jon gives up.
  • After Jon's little... incident with Vectorman, he decides to go for Alien Soldier instead. He then promptly starts mocking the game's absurd premise, wherein a young child in the distant future of 2015 is turned into an eagle furry after absorbing a parasitic alien during a confrontation with said alien's adversary. Special mention goes to just how long this Wall of Text is.
  • During an intermission, Jon and the co-coms start discussing non-AO-rated games that are banned from Twitch. Jon eventually brings the list up and starts listing them off, bringing chat and the co-coms into flustered hysterics with titles such as Genital Jousting, Porno Studio Tycoon, Suck My Dick or Die!, and The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno. And yes, those are actual titles of games that actually exist in real life.
• From "Game Clearing Stream - 20 Down, Many to Go":
  • An amazing egg from MasterTimeThief sends Jon and his co-comms into hysterics. It's a compilation of Dr. Weird scenes from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, all edited with references to eggs and Resident Evil.
  • One of the games Jon plays is VVVVVV, and when he gets to Veni Vidi Vici, Dan starts grilling him about how much time it'll eat up. Then Jon clears it in less than 5 minutes. Making it better is that soon after, Taki buys the game for Dan, and at the egging on of pretty much everyone else, Dan proceeds to attempt Veni Vidi Vici himself and it takes him over half an hour.
    • Later on, someone notifies MasaeAnela, who's streamed attempts at Veni Vidi Vici that took hours, of how quickly Jon beat it. She's less than pleased.
  • While Jon's playing Punch-Out!!, Khead notifies Jon and the co-comms that Summoning Salt, the world record holder for speedrunning the game, is watching the stream. He's quickly dragged into call, and he spends a significant portion of the call giving Jon tips or just talking about strategies to finish fights really quickly, all juxtaposed to Jon's struggling to beat a significant amount of those same fights.
• Game Clearing Stream - 30/52 Down & Counting:
  • While the first game of the night,ToeJam & Earl for the Sega Genesis, is relatively tame by Jon's standards, a few laughs can still be had here and there.
    • A good chunk of the stream is spent reminiscing about toys from the 1990's and 2000's, which culminates in Jon being reminded of the Electronic Karate Fighters toy, a Rock-em Sock-em Robots-esque product where two figures kick each other while attached speakers play Funny Bruce Lee Noises. Jon then gets linked to a commercial for the toy that has him laughing over the silliness of the digitized screams, which then segues into him finding an ad for the So Bad, It's Good Street Fighter variant (the ad starts at 0:30 in the linked video).
  • After beating Toejam and Earl, Jon has chat pick the next game of the night from a small list of random options. To nobody's surprise, they pick Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and as with most licensed games, it ends up being a crown jewel in shittiness.
    • The final level manages to be particularly hilarious for how janky it is, be it Kermit's odd wide-legged side-stepping or Jon encountering a glitch where Kermit falls into a bottomless pit during the Grumpasaurus Rex fight and suddenly loops around to the top of the screen behind the boss for no reason whatsoever.
• Game Clearing Stream - 34/52 Games & Counting:
  • Jon starts off by beating a crappy Where's Waldo game that he wasn't planning on beating on stream. After beating the game, Jon gets interrupted by the reveal of a new challenge group, Game Sharks. The reveal video ends with the death of Medz set to the tune of Lonely Man.
  • While playing Mega Man 10, Jon graciously accepts hints and suggestions from the chat, much to Dan and Jewker's shock after the problems with the Four Job Fiesta. Jon tries to explain that he only wants the limits on backseating in place for FFV, but accidentally says Mega Man 5 instead, much to his own annoyance. Then he does it a few more times throughout the conversation.
    • Also during MM10, Jon gets the world's luckiest damage recoil.
    • Jon's reaction to the space elevator scene.
  • One submitted egg video uses the song "Holding Out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler as a base. Since the song would obviously get the VOD muted, the submitter attempted to prevent this via Loophole Abuse: they switch to a different band's cover version of the song every 18 seconds. But what really makes it is the ending.
• Game Clearing (39/52 Cleared) & Game Sharks - Sonic Spinball Challenge
  • Throughout Jon's attempt at clearing the Game Boy version of Bonk, Solar continuously brings up an incident during the Sonic Spinball challenge where he happened to be playing incredibly well, only for bad luck to rob him of a winning score, much to Jon's increasing annoyance.
  • The whole stream manages to go completely off the rails extremely quickly once Jon decides to check out Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles 2, a Game Mod of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 that, like the original Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles, replaces as many things as possible with Knuckles. However, before he can do so, Jon manages to get directed to Elliot/MegaGWolf's Sonic the Hedgehog hack G, which replaces Sonic with a bitcrushed, rolling square image of Elliot's face scowling (his gwolfW emote). From that point on, the whole night is just spent playing increasingly bizarre Sonic ROM hacks; the irony of this certainly isn't lost on chat.
    • Once Jon actually does get Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles 2 running, the game starts corrupting itself almost immediately. Jon then decides to go back to the original Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles, where he is ecstatic to discover that all the enemies are now altered to have Knuckles' head pasted on them.
  • One hack Jon plays features a simple "find three coins" objective. Once Jon manages to get this done, Sonic immediately whips out a gun and starts recklessly firing at everything with a police siren at the bottom of the screen and the theme to The Naked Gun playing over the BGM.
  • Jon finds the "Play Better Song" option in Crazy Sonic. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Perhaps the ultimate highlight of the night was Sonic the Very Useful Engine, a bizarre Sonic 1 hack where nearly everyone and everything is redesigned around Thomas & Friends. Nearly every moment of the round ends up sending Jon and chat into utter hysterics, be it the premise of the hack itself, the sight of Thomas-ized Miley Cyrus riding the Green Hill Zone boss (complete with a mashup of "Wrecking Ball", the Thomas the Tank Engine theme, and the Sonic 1 boss theme), or the fact that the Marble Zone boss is inexplicably an unusually tiny Kermit the Frog. Chat quickly ends up dubbing this stream the best one in Jon's entire career because of all this mayhem.
    • The Kermit portion in particular causes chat to flat-out erupt in glee, leading to an immense takeover in the Discord server from the Legion of Kermit, much to Myo's consternation (and only Myo's).
  • The last game of the night, while nowhere near as amazing as the Thomas hack, still manages to impress: Knuckles's Emerald Hunt, a Sonic 2 hack that transfers the Knuckles missions in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 to Sonic 2's levels. Elliot manages to help Jon unlock an Easter Egg where all the emeralds are replaced with various sandwiches; Jon and chat are overjoyed to discover that Hidden Palace Zone's sandwiches are Subway footlongs, tying back in to Kermit's unexpected appearance from earlier thanks to Dalton's obsession with the old "Kermit's Sandwich" joke from the License to Croak playthrough.
• Game Clearing (40/52 Cleared) & Game Sharks "Monster Party" Challenge
  • Bagel is unusually needy this stream, resting his head precariously over Jon's laptop's power button at one point.
  • After finishing the Game Sharks challenge, Jon decides to continue playing Monster Party. He save states before the final boss, saying that he will die a lot to it. He ends up beating it on his first go.
  • When deciding on what game to play next, one of the co-coms suggests the Cory in the House DS game, which manages to come second in the Strawpoll.
  • The second game that Jon plays that night is A Hat in Time. One of the co-comms insists that Jon plays Cory In The House instead.
    • ProtonJon for AGDQ 2018.
    • He manages to glitch out the scooter. Twice.
• Game Clearing Stream - 8 Left to Hit Our Goal
  • The first of the two games of the night, Panic Restaurant, manages to elicit a few laughs here and there, be it the main villain's resemblance to Waluigi or the fact that one of the minigames revolves around gathering eggs.
  • While playing Demon's Crest, Jon goes into a discussion on how rare physical copies of the game have become in recent years, to the point where repro carts being passed off as legit are increasingly common. This leads to him pulling up this page for an attempt of this kind, pointing out the sheer amount of discrepancies between the cart being offered and a legitimate cartridge. Aside from Jon's emphasis on the lack of a Nintendo logo on the back, this situation isn't too amusing... until Myo posts this "attempt" at recreating the cartridge label (something that also happened to be inaccurate on the repro). The "Damonz Krezt" name quickly catches on with chat, to the point of it becoming the night's raid message.
• Game Clearing Stream - 6 Games Remain
  • During the second game of the night, Akumajō Densetsu, Jon's most frequent obstacle isn't an enemy or a trap or anything of that sort. It's the stairs.
  • Because the game offers multiple pathways and choices for Trevor to explore, Jon has chat decide his course of action whenever prompted via Strawpoll; this leads to him having to ditch Grant (who in this version of the game is a blatant Game-Breaker) in favor of the far less useful Sypha. The rest of the stream can basically be summed up as Jon growing increasingly annoyed with Sypha's limited usefulness, pointing out each individual instance where Grant would've been far more proficient with increasing hamminess.
    • Despite Sypha being next-to-useless for most of Jon's run, she proves more than capable at cheesing bosses. This reaches its logical conclusion with the mimic boss, in which Jon ends up cheesing the fight on accident.
• Game Clearing: Super Fighting Robot Edition (5 Left!)
  • The entire stream ends up being occupied by a run of Mega Man X6. Things quickly take an unexpected turn when the game's music constantly goes into Broken Record mode, thanks to Jon playing the game using a horrendously scratched CD-ROM. At one point, the music starts skipping right when X asks "what is happening?", much to Jon's amusement.
  • At the end of the game, Jon finally comes face-to-face with Sigma, who, according to the game's plot, has quite visibly Came Back Wrong. While this would sound like a very dramatic moment, it ends up entering narm territory in record time thanks to Jon's amusement at his entrance, in which "fucking drunk-ass Sigma just hits the floor." Jon responds by reading all of Sigma's lines in a heavily slurred voice that seems to make Sigma sound both incredibly hammered and unbelievably stoned at the same time. Then Jon reaches Sigma's second phase, where Sigma actually starts slurring his words and mispronounces Zero's name. And then this exchange happens between Jon and a chat member:
    Chat user: You ruined the character!
    Jon: "Welcome to my streams."
  • During the ending, Jon notices that Zero has his own emblem on his crotch.
• Game Clearing Stream - Almost There (3/52 Left)
  • Sometime during the stream, for some reason, the Super Mario Cereal was brought up. Dan, having yet to play Super Mario Odyssey himself, thinks that the final boss of the game is a box of Bowser cereal. It isn't a box of cereal, by the way.
  • Dan the Enigma lore
  • ProtonJon Essay
• Game Clearing Stream - Two Left For The Year
  • The final game of the 52? Action 52 for NES.

2018 - The 64

2018 - The 64

• Game Clearing Stream - New Year, New Goals
  • When playing The Ninja Warriors, Jon is near the end of the game and is given the option of going left or right. He chose poorly.
    Jon: "Go left or right? Uh, left." [Moves in that direction]
    Medz: "Uh, left is apparently harder." [Jon gets ambushed]
    Jon: "Fuuck!"
    [co-comms laugh]
• Game Clearing Stream - Game 4 & Hopefully More
• Game Clearing Stream: SEGA Runback Edition
• Game Clearing Stream: Starring Bruce Willis Edition
  • If it wasn't obvious, the game jon starts off with is Apocalypse: Starring Bruce Willis from the previous fortune cookie stream. Lots of strapping one on and jamming ensues.
  • Due to Jon uploading old streams to his YouTube streaming account, he notes that he's had people unsubscribe to that channel. When looking at his main account, where it has gained over 800 subscribers in the last month. On closer inspection, during AGDQ he lost 100 subscribers, which he later learns that more than half were closed accounts.
    • Jon crashed YouTube analytics.
  • Stay_Hydrated_Bot is still in chat from the previous Fortune Cookie stream
  • Jon's internet goes down. When he tries to tweet out the status, his phone dies.
• Game Clearing: Mod's Choice Edition
  • The first game of the night is Orb-3D, which one of the mods had to play for Kusogrande, a tournament Jon is participating in. In a bizarre case of History Repeats, Dan mainly suggests the game to Jon because he thought it'd only take roughly a couple hours at most to beat, based on his own completion rate at the game and the time set by a speedrun of it. It ends up taking the entire stream thanks to it being a puzzle game reliant on a combination of horrendously-implemented gameplay mechanics that, by the end of the stream, leave Jon practically delirious. Special mention goes to Stage 29, which happens to be so badly designed that it takes Jon around as much time to clear it as it took the reference speedrunner to clear the entire game! By the end of the night, Dan ended up so thoroughly shat on by Jon, HeIsAnEvilGenius, and chat that the night caps off with "#BanTheEnigma" being the raid message.
    • Oh, and the biggest kicker at the end? It turns out the man who directed Orb-3D later went on to work at EA's mobile division. Absolutely nobody is blindsided by this revelation.
• Game Clearing: Subscriber's Game Suggestions Edition
  • First game of the night is Dynowarz: Destruction of Spondylus; the game features a mechanic where the player can stack power-ups to create stronger and stronger attacks, and Jon quite quickly manages to obtain a level 3 "Fireball" attack, only to pick up a beam power up, reverting him to the level one version of that. This makes Jon somewhat curious as to that the other tiers of beam happen to be, leading him to go out of his way to try and pick up more "beam" power ups. Eventually, he does manage to gain a level 2 and eventually a level 3 beam... and it's literally just a fireball slapped onto the original beam.
  • At one point, Jon receives a donation featuring "boobs countermeasures". It's exactly what it sounds like.
• Game Clearing Stream: What Can We Do Tonight?
  • At one point while playing F-Zero: GP Legend, Jon jokes about being able to learn more about Captain Falcon's philosophies as a person and a racer at captainfalconschool.com. Obviously, this led Jon and chat to fervently try out the domain to see if it worked, only to inevitably find out that it didn't. A few minutes later, however, someone in chat outright buys the domain name and has it redirect straight to Jon's Twitch channel, much to Jon's amusement. This results in the raid message of the night, #captainfalconschool (the .com shaved off to keep it from triggering mod bots), leading to bemusement and astonishment from the night's raid target who thinks Jon bought the site himself to pimp his twitch stream.
  • One of the missions in the game is a horrible escort mission of sorts where Captain Falcon must ensure that Jody Sumner ranks higher than Blood Falcon at the end of a race. Inevitably, this leads Jon to spend a good chunk of time in sheer frustration at both Blood Falcon's aggressive rubberbanding and Jody's Artificial Stupidity, which then leads to Jon constantly shouting at Jody. At one point, however, Jon manages to bring up what is perhaps the last thing one would ever expect him to talk about in 2018.
    Jon: "Jody! MOVE FASTER! You are not a cactus! You can move faster than that!"
  • Jon keeps pointing out that the cutscenes show inconsistent backgrounds behind the characters when they talk, and at one point when the background behind Captain Falcon randomly turns mottled red and green, he concludes that Falcon has gone to "THE CHRISTMAS DIMENSION".
  • The second game of the night is Tiny Toon Adventures, a Nintendo Hard game by Konami filled to the brim with Fake Difficulty. While Jon's hopes and dreams are further and further crushed by the game's bullshit, his co-coms search up a walkthrough from GameFAQs, and come across one that's entirely in Spanish. Only around three people in Jon's community actually speak the language, and none of them are the night's co-coms, meaning that the folks who are actually on call are forced to rely on an online translator. A very bad online translator. What they end up with is a Translation Train Wreck that must be read to be believed.
  • The co-comms run the guide through multiple languages to produce an amusing "Blind Idiot" Translation, which somehow still manages to convey some useful information to Jon on how to beat the final boss.
• Game Clearing Stream: Hard to Find Games Edition
  • So, the stream starts off as well as you can expect when Bagel steps onto Jon's keyboard and mutes him as soon as the stream starts.
  • Everyone asks Ryan for money.
  • Jon says that there is a new alert and everyone is trying to guess it throughout the stream, despite the fact that Jon only said that it would be funny to him.
  • After arriving at the last stage of Power Blade II, History Repeats as it turns into a Radical Rescue situation, right down to the co-comms. It's a boss rush, but it is worse than Radical Rescue as it takes you back to the beginning of the start of the stage if you give a game over. Thankfully, this isn't the case.
  • After a long long time, we finally see the intermission wall... AND IT'S FILLED ENTIRELY WITH A GIF THAT ZOOMS INTO DUKE NUKEM'S CROUCH!
  • All of Flintstones' Surprise of Dinosaur Peak, particularly the last stage.
  • The spider boss that takes a ridiculous number of hits to kill.
  • The sports bonus minigames (hockey and basketball) which at first seem impossible, then when Jon figures out the trick, he finally wins...only for the game not to tell him what bonus he's just won (and it's not obvious from the HUD). The co-comms promptly check three separate runthroughs online and none of them say what the prize is!
  • Jon and the co-comms consistently referring to the gemstones Fred gets at the end of levels as "Chaos Emeralds".
  • The biggest payoff of all time... FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE. The new alert is revealed at the end of the stream. The total amount to have it play is 25 dollars.
• Game Clearing: Mod Choice Round 2
  • As with every Game Clearing stream as of late, Jon opens up the night with another round of F-Zero GP Legend, this time going through Jody's route. Considering how the main highlight from the Fortune Cookie a couple streams prior was a compressed 1985 Mario without a neck, it's only fitting that he takes notice of Jody's own unusually long neck. This quickly becomes a Running Gag throughout the playthrough, with fanartists sending in a metric ton of art revolving around it; they seem to take a particular liking to comparing it with Lesser Dog. Later, once Jon finishes Jody's story mode, he gets sent a picture of Jody from the anime the game's based on, and is equally shocked and overjoyed to find out that her neck actually is that long!
    • As each character's story mode is basically the same plot told from a different angle, Jon inevitably reaches the point where Jody must rank higher than Blood Falcon in a race; however, seeing as he's Jody this time, he supposes it'll be a much easier fight. Cue Jon coming face-to-face with extremely aggressive, rubberbanding AI! At one point, Jon's attempts to fight off these CPU racers leads to him butting heads with Captain Falcon himself; Jon tries to just bump Captain Falcon out of the way and move on, except he does so while both of them in the air, resulting in Jon KILLING CAPTAIN FALCON!^note Okay, technically F-Zero racers don't die, they just have their cars wrecked and get disqualified as a result. That didn't stop Jon and chat, though. Jon and chat's resulting dismay quickly becomes the stuff of legends.
    • Even more amusing about Falcon's "death" is how Jody's main goal in story mode was to avenge her fallen brother, who she doesn't know is actually Captain Falcon himself; one chat user takes particular notice of this, writing up a mock conversation in which Blood Falcon points out that Jody effectively committed fraternicide before calling her a "deranged giraffe."
    • Due to the FIVE alert coming up, Jon has a long discussion with the chat about Supermarionation shows, in particular pointing out how the NES Thunderbirds game's cover art shows a generic craft and generic Air Force dude that have nothing to do with any of the vehicles or cast from Thunderbirds.
  • After clearing Superhot, the most innovative shooter Jon's played in years, Jon puts up a poll to pick the next game, with each option being a mod's name. The choices are Dan, Jewker, Medz, Myo, Stan, and Little Fu. It turns out that it was a Misfortune Fookie-esque poll: all but one of the games was Cory in the House for the Nintendo DS, and knowing Jon and chat's luck, they fell right into his trap. Even more? the one game that wasn't Cory just barely placed second! However, once Jon goes to start up the game, he finds out that his 3DS doesn't recognize it for some reason, to a combined reaction of joy (at not having to play Cory) and dismay (at the fact that they couldn't kill the "Play Cory" meme as intended) from Jon, his co-coms, and chat.
    • Superhot, the most innovative shooter Jon's played in years, also manages to elicit some amusement in its own right thanks to the included "Tree Dude" game, which Jon treats with as much over-the-top enthusiasm as he can muster.
• Game Clearing: Subscriber's Suggestions Round 2
• Game Sharks Wild Guns Challenge & Then *Shrug*
  • While playing Aero Fighters 3, Jon gets to the final stage, and repeatedly died to the final boss. After a few tries... The boss suddenly gets replaced by what can only be described as Mettaton as a Japanese school girl. According to one of the co-coms, it was actually one of two possible bosses, and Jon only fought it by pure chance.
• Game Clearing: Mod Choice Round 3
  • The first game of the night is Magical Drop 3, suggested to Jon by Lucahjin. She spends the first few minutes of the stream teaching him how to play, and he pushes her to teach him via trial by fire by not holding back in their matches.
    Jon: "Kick my ass! It's the only way I'll learn!"
  • After Jon finishes showing off the Adventure mode, Lucah links him the Waluigi chorus. His only response once he realizes what it is:
    Jon: "Oh my God, really?"
  • During this stream, Stan submits an egg sound of him mashing Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady" with... the Muppets Party Cruise rap. The idea's so simple it goes far beyond stupid, yet the execution leaves Jon in hysterics as the chat is once again overtaken by The Kermit Legion. Jon then pulls a fake stream ending, stating that he can't top that and it's all downhill from here.
    Chat member: holy fuck, TV Tropes is gonna have a field day with this
  • Later, Stan joins the call, but his mic is too quiet. ACFan suggests that he should sing a song while adjusting his audio, at which point Stan immediately answers by singing the Muppets Party Cruise rap again.
    Jon: "No! Not that song!"
  • The co-comms tell Jon that the manual for Cool Spot (strangely) tells players to yell at a programmer named 'BILL' if they find the jumps too hard, as he placed all the items. The chat immediately starts doing Bill Nye theme song references, followed by Jon and the co-coms:
    Jon: "Bill Nye, you're gonna die! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!"
  • Jon and co. start to joke about what Jon would have written on his tombstone. Jon then mentions doing that would complicate with how he wants to die; by exploding like a Power Rangers villain. Quickly, ACFan realizes a fix to the problem, it just means that Jon would have to rent out a whole cemetery and give each piece of him its own grave. Jon promptly and completely loses it.
  • Before ACFan's suggestion, Jon comes to the realization that tombstones are essentially just resumés for the afterlife, at which point he decides he's just gonna put down that he was good with Microsoft Excel. Jon's viewers promptly send in a metric assload of tombstones edited to have various amusing epithets on them; the one that catches Jon's eye the most simply says "FUCK".
• Game Clearing: Lightgun Edition - Flashing Light Warning
  • ASMR Lightguns. Yes, ASMR.
• Game Sharks (Mr. Driller 2), then Subscriber's Game Clearing
  • The first game (of two) that Jon chooses to clear for the night is Pocky & Rocky, a notoriously difficult wutai shoot-em-up. While the majority of the run is punctuated by earnest tension and excitement over Jon's attempt to beat the game, he manages to completely botch part of it in the best worst way possible by accidentally walking into the final boss during his monologue and dying.
    Taki: "You sly dog, you caught me monologuing!"
  • Jon caps the night off with Zoda's story in F-Zero GP Legend, the game which keeps on giving.
    • Things get off to a great start when Jon fails the first mission 2 seconds in.
    • In the second mission, Jon questions whether or not the course has walls. On the second lap, he finds out.
    • One race tasks Jon with destroying all the other racers in Fire Field, a course which has mines strewn everywhere. This leads to plenty of failed attempts due to getting pinballed around by exploding mines. One particularly bad race results in a donation from CaptainZodaSchool.
    • In the final race, Jon fails one attempt due to a moment that defies explanation.
    • In the successful run of the final race, Jon wins due to Captain Falcon eliminating the two most troublesome opponents in the race: Rick and himself. Falcon's elimination is especially good due to him being visible in midair moments before the total racer count goes down, and it doesn't dawn on Jon and the co-comms that he was eliminated until the next lap.
• Game Sharks Catchup Stream and The End of F-Zero GP Legend?
  • Jon does a fakeout stream ending little over 2 minutes in due to Yoshi's Island rather relaxing title screen music.
    Jon: "It's tiiiiiiime for me to take a nap. Bye, everybody."
  • It happened again when an egg submission made a bait-and-switch into the Muppets Party Cruise rap. When the stream returned, Jon turned on his webcam to give the sender the finger.
  • Despite the time to practice, Jon hasn't practice for either Game Sharks challenges, and it definitely shows.
    • Jon has to constantly fight to resist the urge to 100% the level, which is his usual shtick with the game.
    • Every time Jon died here, Captain Falcon dies too, much to Jon's consternation.
  • Poor Ryan has been plagued with internet issues, but peculiarly, they have been around solely with Twitch, preventing him from doing Game Sharks and streaming in general.
  • Jon ends the stream by raiding Jirard, who assumes the raid message (#MurderKillington) is a vote of some kind, then drops this gem of a line.
    Jirard: "With Proton Jon, you don't need to explain anything."
• Game Clearing: Kid Dracula vs The Belmonts Edition
  • During intermission, Jon mentions that he won't be playing Castlevania: The Adventure for too long because he remembers that the game was:
    Jon: "stiff and hard, so we're going to try to beat it."
    [beat]
    Jon: "Fucking get your minds out of the gutter. And God, just take me away. RoboCop, just take me away." [Pretending to end the stream] "It didn't help that I fucking said beat it right after it!"
    • Granted, Jon wasn't far off in his description. despite the game only being four levels long, the clunky movement, slow gameplay and lack of checkpoints make the game next to unbearable for those without the willpower to do so. Special notes going to Level 3, which the biggest enemy that Jon faces are a rising floor of spikes and an enclosing wall of spikes with hard to dodge enemies and path traps trying to escape it, leaving Jon understandably frustrated.
      Jon: [upon seeing the second wall of spikes] "COME ON!"
      Tom: "What!?" [laughs]
  • Tom White, (aka the man behind Weird Video Games) is one of the cocoms for the night, and throughout most of Tail-Gator, various chat members are attempting to find him games that are "weird" for him. While he said it was next to impossible to find one that would surprise him at this point, there was a game mentioned that caught both him and Jon off guard (as well as possibly scarring Camille for life). That game? Screaming Mad George's Parinoiascape, a game that needs to be seen to believed.
  • The stream then turns into Tom and Jon 'educating' Camille about various insane cartoons from the 80s and 90s, ending with the 2000 version of Action Man, which consists of a CGI stuntman saving the world by the power of math.
• Game Clearing, Mod's Choice: Yeah, It's Actually Happening Edition
  • The fact that Jon is finally playing Cory in the House to kill the meme.
  • Everyone is confused by the fact that the soundtrack mixes "Hail to the Chief" with...La Marseillaise.
  • Later, Jon plays Katamari Damacy, and at one point Jewker is called by the entire country of Japan.
• Game Clearing: Metal Slug Advance and More
  • When Gex and Camille join Jon as co-comms, they both initially sound distant and echoey (especially Gex) so Jon jokes about them being in THE VOID and having to haul them out with some rope. When France-based Camille mentions Deadly Premonition, a fanartist runs with the joke by parodying the scene with the absurdly long table from the game and Jon and Camille sitting opposite, but then pulling out to reveal the table actually extends all the way from Alberta to France.
  • Even by Jon's standards, he manages to come across an absurd number of glitches in the usually-stable game Metal Slug Advance, constantly dying for no reason by glitching through the floor in particular. One of his Big "WHAT?!" moments is even loud enough to appear on an Apollo Justice recording that Lucahjin was making in a different room at the time.
• Game Clearing: Kinda Winging It Tonight
  • Jon decides to take another crack at the N64 Game for Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. From the "YAY!" of completing a mission to the fact that Jon completely cheesed a mission by hanging out at the top of the map, it's as funny as it is cheap.
  • One cookie video sent to Jon manages to put a new spin on the "supplies" joke in UHF in more ways than one, replacing Kato and company with the Gutsman's ass meme.
  • During a round of Twitter, someone brings up Piper, a computer game that Jason David Frank starred in that was basically a wild west version of The Pied Piper of Hamelin. While showing the trailer, Jon has a laugh at the ridiculousness of JDF's outfit, the rat puppets and the musical numbers.
    • Immediately after the trailer, Jon notices that the rest of the video contains a bunch of other advertisements (as it's a collection of ad spots taken off of a VCR recroding), and decides to check out the one directly after Piper. The advertisement immediately begins with a bridge exploding, much to Jon's surprise and glee. This advertisement turns out to be for what would eventually become VR Troopers. Originally it was going to be called Cybertron and starred Jason David Frank as Adam, before Saban decided to keep JDF on Power Rangers due to Tommy's popularity as a character.
  • The theme of the night quickly became Power Rangers (again), as Jon suddenly remembers and shows everyone the intro for an obvious Power Rangers knockoff called Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. What's more impressive is that, before seeing the intro, most of the chat thought that the show was made up for a Dragon Ball Z Abridged joke and not actually a real thing.
    • What's even funnier is that Jon learns there's a DVD copy of the show that he can buy and was planning to...only for someone he knows in real life to buy it for him as a wedding present, and it will show up the day of the wedding. Reese's reaction sells it honestly.
    Reese: [upon hearing the title] "I beg your pardon?"
• Game Clearing: 8 Left To Hit Our Goal For The Year
  • The first game Jon beats is Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace for the GBA. Part of the framing device at the start is MJ calling Peter and reminding him (bizarrely) to get a fishbowl on the way home. Jon and the chat joke that Peter will end up bringing Mysterio's helmet to use as a fishbowl after he beats him. They turn out to be absolutely right.
• Game Clearing: The Last Game for the Goal Is...
  • Jon opens the stream with Quest 64, a game he played most of when he was young. He mentions that he may have to resort to grinding to raise up some stats and chooses to start with raising Agility by holding right on the N64 controller and unplugging it so that he continuously runs in circles. Jon wants to pass the grinding time by switching to the real 64th game to beat, Bomberman 64.

2019 - The A-to-Z Challenge

2019 - The A-to-Z Challenge

• Bento Game #3 & Game Clearing: Bangai-O and Game C
  • At some point in the stream, due to Twitch restructuring their subscription service, the Streamlabs alerts broke, making them loop ceaselessly, the yodelling and Goldman alerts looping their audio too.
  • When MasaeAnela joined in the chat, Gex wowed her with his impressions of Peach and Mario.
    MasaeAnela: [upon hearing the Peach impression] .....
    MasaeAnela: .......
    MasaeAnela: what
    MasaeAnela: WHaT/??
    MasaeAnela: Excuse me?????
    MasaeAnela: ???//?/???
    MasaeAnela: HOW???
    MasaeAnela: Gex you're amazing?????
    MasaeAnela: [upon hearing the Mario impression] WHOA
    MasaeAnela: THAT IS JUST
    MasaeAnela: SPOT ON????
    MasaeAnela: I can't believe I talked to Mario and Peach tonight
  • In the previous stream, in order to cheer Jon up after a particularly salty round of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a fan made some fanart of him as Rosalina. Jon, being used to seeing larger-chested female versions of himself, said it wasn't busty enough, so the artist drew increasingly bustier Rosalina!Jons as that stream went on. Fast forward to the Game Clearing stream, and the same artist continued the pattern and submitted a Rosalina!Jon with each breast over twice the size of Jon's head. Since then, a massive chunk of Jon's Twitter activity consists of Rosalina!Jon (or just Rosalina) with larger boobs, ranging from the size of basketballs to galaxies, plenty of them being pictures of blue circles in space, and two of the pictures being completely blue. Also, Jon's Twitter followers who may or may not watch the streams being very confused.
    @Lucahjin (on Twitter): Why does my husband have such big boobies?
    Reese (on Stream): "I like your boobs on Twitter."
    Jon: "Thank you for enjoying my boobs. It's, uh, very important that you like them, also hi Bagel. I don't know if Bagel likes my boobs, that's a little weird. You can like them though, that's okay."
    Reese: "Yaaaay!"
    Jon: "She just ran off screaming 'Yaaaay!' This is why I know I'm not in trouble, see. We have a very healthy relationship."
    @Lucajin (immediately after): hey @Proton_Jon pls send bobs and vagene
  • A couple of the pictures were of Rosalina with Drake & Josh's heads photoshopped onto her chest.
    • The wave of busty "Rosajon"/"Jonalina"s has Jon claiming that this is the reason why he only has a 4% female viewership, with his female viewers immediately expressing approval of the Rosajons and drawing some of their own, or pointing out they already drew some.
    • One of the Jonalinas that got the best reaction out of Jon is one of Rosalina!Jon holding an orange under her relatively normal breasts, with Donald and Goofy claiming that they found an ingredient and a lucky emblem, respectively. Hidden Mickeys, including Hidden Mickeys in reference to breasts, are another running gag of that stream.
  • Amidst the boobs, Jon finds the perfect Tweet to describe his brand.
  • An inappropriately timed raid, giving the raiders an eyeful of Rosalina and Luma cleavage before transitioning to countermeasures.
  • Jon's ISP went into a scheduled outage an hour earlier than expected. Cue jokes in chat and Jon's discord being that the boobs were too much for the stream to handle. The outage only lasted 10 minutes before service came back.
    @Lucahjin: Well that's it lads, @Proton_Jon 's tits were so big they killed our internet.
  • The stream came to a sudden end due to Jon's ISP acting up again, ending with a tweet of someone finding a bunch of inflation fetish pictures of Rosalina on Google images.
  • Over an hour after the Stream ended, Jon has finally reached the top of his Twitter notifications, claiming to have found the end of Twitter. Jewker wonders if it's too late to add Rosalina's boobs onto End Of Evangelion. Naturally, this happened.
• Finishing up Bangai-O, Starting Game C & Possibly THE BAG OF MYSTERY!?
  • The pictures of Rosalina!Jon continue to come up on Twitter. Jon explains to confused newcomers that he's seen weirder things, including weirder things involving himself (like the TRG Dating Sim) so stuff like him as Rosalina with unfathomably large breasts is relatively tame.
    • One of the Tweets that got Jon laughing so hard he was barely making sound was of Jonalina (or possibly Rosalina, the head wasn't shown) slamming her bosom onto the Like and Retweet buttons followed by the Follow and Subscribe buttons.
  • After Bangai-O is completed, not wanting to deal with Game C and it's difficulty after enduring Bangai-O's final boss, he opts for the Bag of Mystery. The two games played from it are Billy-Bob's Huntin' and Fishin' and Razor Freestyle Scooter, both of them are games not recognized by Twitch, and both of them were games played in chat user Axelle's church. The former because the nuns didn't want the children to become hillbillies.
    • Whenever Jon hit an obstacle in Razor Freestyle Scooter, his character would make an "euh" sound. But after he won a race and one of his competitors clipped into his character...
• Bento vs AbdallahSmash's Community & Game Clearing: Game C
  • Jon caught on to the fact Jumney, the artist responsible for starting this whole Huge Breasted Rosalina!Jon thing, was progressively giving Jon longer and longer hair in these pictures. Jumney then proceeded to cut to the chase and gave Rosajon long hair. (Granted, it's hard to see in that tweet due to it being seen from the chest up, but as evidenced by pictures regarding Lucah's stream the next day, it does qualify.)
• Game Clearing: El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
  • Jon is utterly giddy upon realizing he's about to get a motorcycle.
    Jon: [jogging as fast as he can towards it] "Gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme~!"
• Game Clearing: Finishing up Guacamelee!, then chill packing stream.
  • Jewker tells a story about when he used to work in a movie theater. There was a sewage leak in the women's bathroom, so he had to tell the women to go in the men's bathroom, which they were furious about, because they apparently all thought there was some kind of ritual where men stare at each other's dicks in the bathroom. All the men on co-comm and chat were understandably squicked by this, and apparently Lucahjin thought the same thing! The chat's incredulous reactions sell it all!
• Game Clearing: Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!
  • As Jon himself notes, what started as a simple joke reveal for Chuggaaconroy's next LP ended up being game H for Jon...because the Playstation Network decided to crash the exact second Jon tried to load his original choice for game H, House of the Dead 4. In compensation, he decides to rename Hamtaro "Goldman", and the chat and fanartists busy themselves trying to translate Goldman's memetic speech atop a building into the Hamtaro language.
• Game Clearing: Game I — Incredible Crisis
  • Fittingly, Jon had to deal with a minor issue before the stream began: not being able to find the box with all his memory cards in it. Thankfully he was able to find one: the Lara Croft-shaped one, which wasn't with all the others because her distinctive shape meant she wouldn't fit. Cue chat joking about her being a 'mammary card'. Doubly hilarious as this was the same Lara Croft Memory Card that saved him a few months earlier, as it let him play the Razor Racing game back when he finished Bangai-O. Of all the games to be saved on that memory card.
  • Jewker and Myo join as co-comms; having played the game before, Jewker offers some advice and clarification about how various mini-games work... and expresses utter glee when Jon discovers that one of his least favorite mini-games is repeated. Twice.
• Game Clearing: Last Alert (TurboGrafx CD) & Game M
  • The logo of the enemy forces of the game reminds Jon of goatse, and states not to look it up. One of the mods (Maniacal) looked it up and cursed Jon (He thought it was going to be about baby goats). This caused Jon to laugh and remember that some people are not that old, or as cruel, as him.
  • During a moment where everyone's claiming to be Dan, everything goes white right as Dan, completely unaware of what's happening on-screen, retorts:
    Dan: "And I'm Jon, glitches, fuck, what the hell game?"
  • Fittingly, Last Alert's ending cutscene is kicked off by a well-timed alert.
  • After one of the villains in Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon does the Noblewoman's Laugh, Jon is asked to try one himself. He does so, using his new 'MasaJon' voice filter.
• Game Clearing: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (N64)
  • Nine minutes into the stream, Jon attempts to jump up on a hedge to talk to somebody, only to clip right through it:
    Jon: "Small child, you must know aaaaanswers!" [watches Yae become a green speck on the horizon] "...And that was when Yae flew off into the sunset. Never seen again."
  • A user asks what sort of stream-related madness they have missed in the past 5 months. Jewker put it best:
    TheJewker: He grew a pair, but not the pair you'd expect.
• Game Clearing: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon Finale
  • While exploring the final dungeon, idly wondering how many of the Lucky Cats he missed, Jon notices a Silver one and picks it up... right as an enemy's rose hurts him. The walls don't like that, giving Jon a chance to scout ahead. He attempts to snipe an enemy through the wall, but it doesn't work. Right as he turns away, the enemy attempts to come after him and falls into the abyss between walls.
• Game Clearing: Game N - Last Stream Before PAX West
  • After doing the ending screen, Jon starts a Mod meeting (where the first thing discussed was a Ninja Gaiden x Kingdom Hearts fanfic), not realizing that he was still live.
• Game Clearing: Game O
  • As Ori and the Blind Forest's notorious Downer Beginning reaches its heartwrenching climax, some of the chat engages in Black Comedy by cheering the apparent 'completion' of Game O. Jon admits that he's struggling not to laugh and ruin the mood.
  • Jon scores two achievements at once when he gets a monster crushed under a falling block... which also kills him.
  • After obtaining the Dash ability, Jon is startled by the sheer speed at which he moves... and sprints right under a crusher.
    Jon: "AAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhIII should've known. Thank God that was a save point."
    Gex: [chokes]
    Tomoyo: "Look how fast I can--"
    Jon: "Good tutorial, game, good tutorial."
  • Not long afterwards, he uses the Charging Dash to send an enemy flying.
    Jon: "Holy shi—"
    Tomoyo: "And that's what we call a tackle."
• Game Clearing: Ori and the Blind Forest Part 2
  • Jon playing Peek-a-Boo with Kuro, ducking in and out of the water to match her switch rapidly between preparing to strike and going back to sentry mode.
  • After retrieving the Sun Stone, DragonFire notes that this would be a good time to backtrack. Jon interprets that differently:
    Jon: "What's that, jump off this cliff, I'm on it."
    DragonFire: [right as Ori vanishes in a flash of lightning] "Hey, it's a quick way down."
    Jon: [bursts out laughing] "No, it's not. It's a quick way to death."
    DragonFire" "Eh... I mean, if you're going down in a literal sense, then yes."
• Game Clearing: Game P
  • Game P is Prince of Persia. Specifically, the Sega CD version, due primarily to the fact that said version has anime cutscenes. By sheer coincidence, the Prince's purple hair and blue-shaded turban has the side-effect of making his sprite look uncannily like RobertCop, with the resemblance getting pointed out several times throughout the run.
  • The game's somewhat awkward control scheme results in several moments where Prince Bob effectively acts on his own, often falling or leaping to his death while Jon protests. This culminates in Bob dunking himself in the same pit Jon had just backed the last guard of the game into, forcing him back to his last checkpoint.
  • Early on, Jon mentions that while researching the game's various versions beforehand, he found that the SNES version was considered the 'definitive' version, but also expanded the game's length, adding several levels and doubling the amount of time allotted for the player to beat it. After completing the Sega CD version, he decides to load up the SNES one just to compare, and is immediately blown away by its much tighter control scheme. After signing off for the night, he admits to his co-comms that he's tempted to start playing that version now that the stream is over.
• RUNE 2 Co-op Testing (!rune) & Game Clearing: Resident Evil: Director's Cut (PS1)
  • Prior to the stream, Jon was asked to test a beta version of RUNE 2. Things get off to a great start when Jon manages to die in the opening cutscene. Twice. ^Explanation Take into account, this was a cinematic cutscene, not an interactive one.
• Game Clearing: Game S (Sorry, Sailor Moon R)
  • Jon's reaction to Fox casually tossing away his binoculars during a cutscene.
• Game Clearing: Game T & Game U... & V?
  • While Jon is playing Untitled Goose Game, Tom has a question about one of his badges:
    Tom: "What is your four-year badge, exactly, Jon?"
    Jon: "My four-year badge?"
    Tom: "Yeah."
    Jon: "Uhhh..."
    Tom: "'Cuz that looks like a ball gag."
    Jon: "I need to see... I need to see which one it is that you're talking about. ...Oh, it's fucking Waluigi."
    Tom: "Oh... Okay, P-part of that is because I'm on Dark Mode, and the, the like edges of the mustache are—"
    Jon: "I'm on Dark Mode!"
  • Game V turns out to be Virtual Boy Wario Land. Jon briefly shows off how the game is meant to be displayed before switching it to a more palatable palette.
• Game Clearing: Virtual Boy Wario Land & Game W... and X?
  • A conversation about kinks leads to Dan bringing up one of the more unusual ones he's seen: buying Wonderbread. While Gex is caught off guard, Jon also knew that one... but not that the same guy is apparently also into deforestation.
    Gex: "...Dude, I mean, I... I have a bottle of Grey Goose Vodka right here, I'm just gonna take a sip of that, 'cause that's some shit I need right now to understand..."
  • Gex gets put on the spot: Left or Right?
    Jon: "Gex. Gex, you gotta do it. Left or Right?"
    Gex: "No. No. No. No."
    Jon: "Left or Right, Gex. You've been right two outta thr—two outta two, c'mon, buddy."
    Gex: "No, no, no... walk away. Walk away."
    Jon: "You gotta do it. No, you gotta do it!"
    Gex: "I'm no gambler, I can't live in this—"
    Jon: "I can't! It's too late! I already hit the button. I already hit the button, you've no choice!"
    Gex: "I've — I know for a fact that—"
    Jon: "Do it! Tell me the fucking direction, Gex!"
    [Gex chuckles in soft, resigned exasperation, letting silence fall before finally...]
    Gex: "...Left."
    Jon: [chooses it; Wario loses money] "Nope."
    Gex: [takes a slow breath] "...Two out of three, I don't give a shit." [Jon cracks up] "Two out of three, I don't give a shit. We could've just walked away. We coulda walked away. We coulda walked away."
  • After beating VB Wario Land, Jon pulls up a reference to show off another ending... and has to tell someone in the Chat to stop backseat gaming a YouTube video.
    Jon: "Hang on. This is what you've earned now."
    [puts the video on .25 speed and plays the ending in super slow motion]
  • Game W is a tie-in game for Wacky Races... by Atlus. While Jon knew this already, much like My Disney Kitchen, this is met with considerable surprise.
  • When dropped into the Canada-themed level, Jon spends much of it claiming that it's an accurate representation.
    Jon: "Yup, this is Canada. Sure is."
    Dan: "...That sure is Canada."
    Jon: "The endless floating bone supply of Canada. The jumping snowmen of Canada."
  • Last game of the night is X-Men: Children of the Atom. Jon is hopeful that, as a fighting game, it won't take long to clear. The chat is somewhat less so. After considerable trouble, all of his efforts to make it through culminate in it crashing right before reaching the final battle.
• Game Clearing: Game X: Xardion & Hopefully Game Y
  • Throughout Xardion, Jon reads Planet NGC-1611 as "Planet Nintendo GameCube-1611".
  • While attempting to teach Jon how to access the Stage Select (something which the game doesn't explain and requires the use of later), Crimson_Layer suggests that he 'Hold select and hit buttons', trying to find the proper input. Following this advice leads to Jon accidentally soft-resetting the game.
    Jon: "I am holding Select and—"
    [game resets]
    Jon: "..." [inhales deeply] "Thanks, guys."
    Crimson_Layer: @ProtonJon THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN
    Jon: "So I'm running this on an Analog Super NT, and, uh, one of the combinations for reset is Up and Select. And I know that because I just found that out."
  • After attempting everything he can think of to make an elevator lift... well, lift, Jon stops to catch up on Chat. As it turns out, the key to making it move is standing still.
  • The Power-Up Letdown of Alcedes' Black Hole spell, which causes the screen to keep fading in and out while it's active, hampering the player's visibility.
    Jon: "Wow, that... is obnoxious. Good, now I can't see, this is a helpful spell, game!"
  • Despite being hyped up by the game, the Demon Armor proves remarkably unthreatening.
    Jon: [reading the in-game text] "Demon Armor! Blast it! We've been cut off! This is terrible! We're history!"
    [stands beside the Demon Armor and head-whips it for a few seconds as it steadily fires downwards at its own supports]
    Jon: "...Uh."
    Khead: "Uh, it's not taking damage, it looks like."
    Jon: "Lemme use Black Hole again. Oh hang on."
    [the support beams finish exploding, and the Demon Armor falls to its doom]
    Jon: [reading] "Well, that's one less enemy to worry about. Frankly I'm not thrilled."
    Bubba: "...That was too easy."
    Khead: "It's gonna climb back up; we're gonna hafta fight it Contra-style."
    Jon: "No, it's playing the 'You won the boss fight' music." [Alcedes' EXP gauge starts filling] "We act—that was a boss fight! That counted as a boss fight!"
    Khead: "Nice."
    Bubba: "...Why? Is that a boss fight?"
    Khead: "'Cuz they expect you to stand still?"
    Jon: "They probably thought you wouldn't think to go left or right, I guess...? I don't know. I'll take it."
  • Once again, Jon finds himself beseiged by trees.
    Jon: "Life seems to get a vacation from war on this planet. All the trees are covered in brillant green, and the breeze lightly carries the scent of the season, but..."
    [silence as Triton lands and starts moving forward]
    Khead: [right as the trees start coming to life and attacking] "But."
    Jon: "Oh GOD—! What the fuck?!"
    Khead: [evil laughter]
  • Early in Yoku's Island Express, Khead comments "Maybe we'll get bigger wallets later on, who knows." Both he and Jon are unaware that he's standing right in front of the chest that holds the first wallet upgrade.
    Jon: "Damn, that's some good-ass timing, dude." [Yoku blows party favor]
  • Finding the temple of the Space Monks leads to Bubba suggesting the possibility of a Rosajon-based religion. Jon does not approve.
• Game Clearing: Yoku's Island Express
  • Gex's attempt to provide appropriately dramatic narration for the Exposition Dump is thwarted by an uncooperative connection.
    Gex: [with echo effect] "This good?"
    Jon: "Yup."
    Gex: "One day the God Slayer—"
    [silence]
    Jon: "...Cool, and then his internet died." [starts reading the narration himself, cracking up]
    Gex: [after two lines] "Wait, did my thing not work?!"
    Jon: "It cut out as soon as you said God Slayer."
    Gex: "GOD—" [instantly cut off again]
    • Despite the technical difficulties, he keeps trying...
      Gex: [with echo effect] "The Anci — the Islands — wait, is it work—"
      Jon: "It's working, yes."
      Gex: [still echoing] "Cool. The Island's Ancients fell one b—"
      [dead silence]
      Jon: "......It's not working anymore."
      Gex: [still echoing] "...I quit life." [normal] "I quit life. I'm done."
  • Jon finds his way up to the Skvader, only to promptly fall right off the branch it's on... and all the way out of that area.
    Jon: "Ooh, what's that?"
    Dr. Weird Alert: "Bullshit!"
    [Jon rolls right past the Skvader and off the branch]
    Jon: [blowing his horn in protest the whole way down] "No-no-no-no-no--!"
    [lands in White Cliff Point]
    Bubba: "Ohhhhh—!"
    Frank: "...I'm sitting here clapping. You can't hear it, but I'm clapping."
    Jon: "I can feel it."
• Game Clearing: Game Z - Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon
  • The stream starts with the CDi crashing. It's all downhill from there.

2020 - Monthly Clearing

2020 - Monthly Clearing

• Game Clearing: January's Game - Mega Man: The Wily Wars
  • What's the first note that the stream, and thusly, the decade opens with? Jumney triggering the new Rosajon Alert. Which costs $80.08 to air. And it's got voice acting with Jon using the 'Masae' filter!
  • Jon notes that he's already questioning his decision to let his subs vote on which games he'll be tackling for the challenge, as they immediately tied the poll for January's game. And what did Mega Man: The Wily Wars barely beat out in the end? Bioshock Infinite.
• Game Clearing: Mega Man: The Wily Wars Part 2 & More
  • Hard Man's sprite is considerably larger in this version of Mega Man 3. Jon realizes just a second too late that there's really no good way to finish his own sentence.
    Jon: "Wow, Hard Man, you're a lot—" [Beat, resumes in a resigned tone] "...bigger than I remember you being. God dammit, there was really no way out of that statement, was there?" [chuckles] "...The only winning move is to not play."
  • Mega Water S almost immediately gets stuck in a loop where he's endlessly lobbing harpoons into one corner, coming nowhere near Mega Man.
    Jon: "Uh, is he just... stuck?"
    MegaGWolf: "I fired, and I missed, and I fired, and I missed, and I fired..." [breaks down laughing]
    Jon: "You know I'm a robot and don't need to breathe, right?"
    • They then discover that they don't have any of his weaknesses. Fortunately, Jon uncovers an 'unofficial' weakness: using the Rush Jet to stand level with him and pick away with the Mega Buster. Their jokes about discovering the first boss weak to Rush Jet only become funnier when they use the exact same technique against the final boss.
• Game Clearing: The Lightning Round Edition
  • Jon's horrified reaction to meeting Tsubame in Bushido Blade 2 and realizing that she's brought a gun to a swordfight.
    Jon: "That is a gun. ...That is a gun. That is a fucking gun!" [Jo gets shot] "...That is literally a gun!" [gets killed, rematches] "...This is not gun-fu! This is not Equilibrium, fuck off with the gun!"
    • How does he finally defeat her after being walled for almost ten minutes? By repeatedly running into her, slashing blindly. He's less than thrilled to discover this technique works.
  • Later, Jon employs the technique of 'run circles around opponent while screaming wildly', and is stunned when that works.
  • His reaction to the ending he gets for refusing to kill an unarmed woman:
    Jon: [softly] "'From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!'" [as the credits start rolling] "...wow. ...Wow... .........Woooooooow. Leeeeeet's never speak of this again."
  • Following some technical difficulties with the Rosajon alert, Jon manually plays it for the donator. One of the Wario Alerts triggers at the same time, leading to him disappearing behind her back and letting out an enthusiastic "YAHOO—!"
• Game Clearing: February's Game - Wario Land 4
  • To celebrate Jon playing Wario Land 4, several new alerts are added to the roster where Waluigi subs in for Wario. These prove distracting, as Jon admits early on to pausing whenever he hears Waluigi's voice just to see which one it is this time.
  • While discussing a fan-art piece merging Jon with Toriel, Jon comments he thought the design would be rounder, as in chubbier. It then leads to a gem of an Accidental Innuendo that leaves Jon in stitches before 'ending the stream.'
• Game Clearing: Lightning Round, Feb. Edition
  • For the fourth game, Jon asks chat whether they want a hard, easy, or definitely easy game. The chat picks "definitely easy" which turns out to be Elmo's A To Zoo Adventure, a motion control game. Which trolls him. Also of note, Gex's disturbingly accurate Elmo voice.
• Game Clearing March's Game - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
  • A discussion about the game's flaws leads to a comparison to Sonic the Hedgehog^note Both being somewhat rough around the edges, but with amazing music Which then leads to Elliot pointing out how fitting that was, given the goal of the level at the time.
    Elliot: "Did you realize, right now, your mission is 'Escape From the City'?"
    Jon: "Oh, for fuck's sake...! Elliot! You're totally right, which is what makes me mad."
  • In the cutscene following the final boss, someone decides to time a gift sub alert perfectly with Raiden ripping Armstrong's heart out his chest. Jon can't help but laugh.
    Jon: "Alright, y'all are fuckin' timing this on purpose now."
• Game Clearing: Lightning Round, March Edition
  • Jon plays Mickey's Dangerous Chase and this somehow leads to a discussion about which Disney character correlates to which character in Dragonball Z. Including Jon coming up with an elaborate explanation for why Scrooge McDuck would be Piccolo.
    Jon: [arguing with chat commenter] "But to be fair though, Scrooge is the one who takes in kids who become like his own family...so he fits the Piccolo comparison."
    Jewker: "He's also tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties..."
    Jon: [ignoring this] "He's also from somewhere else where no-one in the cast is from...Scotland! Except for Glomgold...WHO IS VEGETA! Oh baby, we got it!"
  • This then leads to a long discussion between Jon, the mods and chat about tier lists for things that don't usually have tier lists, including Ed, Edd and Eddy, Spongebob Squarepants, Loony Tunes, and ultimately Jon's own group of mods.
• Game Clearing: April's Game - Dust: An Elysian Tail
  • "Shops restocked" becomes a running gag due to how often shops restock their inventory (4 real-time minutes) and Jon noting this, nonchalantly. It ends up being the raid message.
  • During a discussion about old cartoons, co-comm Tenmar mentions the show Road Rovers, in which dogs become superheroes. Jon then brings up the also-dog-focused children's book series Ranger In Time. It quickly becomes a second 'Air Bud discussion' as Jon looks up and details the 12-book series, in which a rescue dog travels through time to help save people during well-known historical events such as the Battle of Trenton in the American Revolution, the sinking of the Titanic, D-Day, and the 9-11 World Trade Center attack, leaving Jon and Tenmar in stunned disbelief and sending the chat into hysterics.
• Game Clearing: April's Game - Dust: An Elysian Tail Round 2
  • At the end, Jon ends up getting a 69% clearing and saving in eight hours and eight seconds. He ends up copying the save into slot six and nine.
• Game Clearing: April's Game - Dust: An Elysian Tail Round 3
  • Noticing something strange, Jon realizes that he'd accidentally left a GIF of Medz from the April Fools' Stream running in its own tab for three weeks straight.
  • The cutscene dealing with The Reveal of Dust's identity is interrupted by a timely question from Speed Racer.
• Game Clearing: Bioshock Infinite
  • Jon admires a screaming building. ^note Jon was looking through a pair of binoculars while a Fireman was attacking him from behind. Because he was looking through the binoculars, he was completely invincible, all the while the Fireman was slowly electrocuted to death by a Tesla coil Jon has previously summoned through a tear.
• Game Clearing: May's Game - Bioshock Infinite Part 4 (Finale)
  • A Hilarious in Hindsight funny moment. A serious discussion about religion and those who twist the Bible's teachings for one's own agenda happened during the stream, summed up by the phrase "Don't be a Comstock." With how the game ends with the reveal that Booker and Comstock are different versions of the same person, one can make their own punchlines about how Booker either did or didn't follow that phrase.
  • During the ending cutscene, one of Jon's newer alerts is triggered, so that Booker drowns to the dulcet tones of the 'Water and water and water' song.
• Metroid: Other M Part 2
  • Similar to the 'the D stands for Dracula' running gag from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Jon and the co-comms keep speculating about what the 'M' stands for.
  • Jon predictably becomes annoyed with the game's silly plot-based excuse for Samus not having all her weapons (that she had them all along, but Adam, acting as Mission Control, only authorises her to use them at certain times). Jon sarcastically suggests that Adam will only give her the ability to use the fire-resistant Varia Suit after she has already been burned by lava, only for this to actually be the case. Jon and the co-comms create some headcanon that Adam is actually absent-mindedly watching various cartoons (including Rick and Morty and The Simpsons) and only occasionally glancing at what Samus is doing.
  • Near the end, Jon and the co-comms react in disbelief when Samus decides to code name the unknown traitor "The Deleter", and characterise her as still having an edgy teenage mentality and being a Giver of Lame Names.
  • Co-comms Medz and Myo become obsessed with the idea of encouraging Jon's Youtube VOD channel audience to post more comments on this VOD than the others, engaging them with questions about time zones and what their favourite shape is.
• Game Clearing: August's Game - Golf Story (Part 2)
  • Out of Bounds is denoted as OOB instead of OB in Golf Story. Camile then quips that BOOB means Breasts Out of Bounds. This itself was funny, but it got compounded with a well-timed Rosajon alert.
• Game Clearing: September's Game - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Part 1)
  • This month, Jon switched out the voting system for a blind vote, meaning nobody could see the results until voting was over. Jon's subs STILL managed to get a tie for first place.
  • Tom White/Heisanevilgenius drops in and tells a story that he sells as dumber than anything Jules or Emile has done. When his wife had requested a doughnut, he sets off to the closest Tim Hortons to his home down a back road, only to find that, due to it being late in the evening, they were out of doughnuts (or rather, had very limited selection). So he left and went back the way he came from, circled around down the main road, and wound up at the exact same Tim Hortons without realizing it. Thinking he had gone to two different locations, he gives up his search. The best part? He didn't realize this until three days later when he was out shopping with his wife and she requested they stop at Tims on the way back. He asked her which one she wanted to go to: the one on the same road they were on or the other one. She responded with "What other one?". Double clincher? Someone in chat jokes that "there's this magical thing called a GPS". He replies that he was using a GPS. He also says that upon arriving at the "second" Tims, his immediate thought was that "this one's bigger" and would therefore have a better selection.
• For November, he opts to do Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. While he asks viewers not to backseat, he allows alerts regarding upcoming cutscenes, just so he can ruin them with the Guardian Egg Helm, Toy Boots (which squeak with every step Miriam takes), and the Voice Changer (which gives Miriam a chipmunk voice).

2021 - Rotational Clearing

• Game Clearing: Metroid Prime (GC) - Part 6/Finale & Whatever My Net Allows
  • The moment beginning here. Cole points out in chat that Jon left a GIF of him on the intermission wall. He then joins in on the call to help Jon explain the history behind the GIF: it was taken from an egg Cole submitted of him drinking maple syrup straight from the bottle, but every file-sharing site Jon tried to upload it to wouldn't let him. The same thing happened for different people trying to upload it. They determined it was because the sites were flagging it as porn due to how suggestive it looks.
• Game Clearing: Pac-Man World (Part 2)
  • While playing the level Spin Dizzy, Jon ledge-grabs a spinning platform, which results in him glitching onto the rim below. Jon is unable to see Pac-Man, and spends a good 30 seconds moving around, trying to figure out where he is, before he is able to jump out and dies.
    Jon: "Where the FUCK was I?"
  • All three times Jon dies during the final battle with Toc-Man:
    • The first time, Jon butt bounces on Toc-Man in a way that sends him flying off to, and ultimatly slipping off, the edge of the arena.
      Jon: "No! It just shot me off the fucking stage, are you serious!? How far back? (finds out he's back at the very start of the battle) TRAAAASSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH...UGGGGHHHHHHHH..."
    • The second time, when he goes to butt bounce on Toc-Man after pulling him to the center with Pac-Dots, he ends up stuck butt bouncing on Toc-Man, unable to get off...then Toc-Man jumps in a way that sends Pac-Man flying out of the arena, causing Tre to break out in laughter.
      Tre: "...okay?"
      Jon: "Uh, I'm afraid to jump DO-OWN! (gets sent flying off the arena)
      Tre: (breaks out laughing) "You got fucking tossed like a ball!"
    • The third and final time, Jon reaches the last hit point...and then Toc-Man rev rolls him into a way that sends him flying off the arena (again), frustrating Jon.
      Jon: "NO! (Beat) WHAT THE FUCK!? I'm so sick of this, dude..."
• Game Clearing: Touhou Luna Nights (Part 1)
  • Jon gets really into trying to recycle drink cans, to the point of freezing time just to walk over to the trash...only to be repeatedly thwarted by Sakuya dropping the cans in random directions.
  • Come the end of the stream, he has trouble locating a raid target. One candidate, Shroom_e, was just wrapping up and searching for their own raid target...and by sheer coincidence, they settle upon the same one.
    Shroom_e: [in kyletx500's chat] OH NO JON
• Game Clearing: Bomberman Generation (Part 3)
  • After the second break, Popskyy wondered if RosaJon's birthday would be called "The Great Inflate". This immediately derailed the whole stream.
• Game Clearing: Shantae (Part 1)
  • Jon goes over how he now owns three copies of the original Shantae (the original cartridge, the Game Boy Color reprint, and the Switch port), how they all came in on the same day, and a local store even got a full, boxed version of the original.
• Game Clearing: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (Part 2)
  • Bagel finds a new way to disrupt the stream, this time by pestering Jon's neighbor.
  • He reaches the mini-game where he must whack 50 chickens while dodging bomb-totin' roosters, all so he can cut the deal Bently made with a ghost over the radio for a key with the chickens that the ghost wants to use as ingredients for a big pot of gumbo. Jon is in guffawing disbelief over all of this.
    Jon: I need a second-*wheeze* Uuuuuuuuuuh...there's a lot to process from that, Bentley, I feel.
  • During the stage "The Unseen Foe", Jon has Sly grind down a wire to reach a rooftop... only for the game to miss the part where Sly is supposed to stop. What results is Sly grinding on thin air in a straight line off of the rooftop, out of the map, and eventually out of the rendering plane. Jon, the co-comms, and the chat alike were in stitches. It took just a little over an hour for the scene became a Glitchen Gun alert.
• Game Clearing: Bayonetta 2
  • While in a cutscene in which Bayonetta mounts on an Acceptance angel, bonk sounds played by a co-comm could be heard while Bayonetta's rear touches the Acceptance's back. Jon remarks that the co-comm feed wasn't up yet, making the timing hilarious.
  • Bayonetta donning the Mario Costume and saying "Mamma Mia!" in her taunt animation is almost immediately combined with one of her Smash Bros voice lines leading to "If you need to learn how to talk to a lady ask your Mamma Mia!"

2022 - Remix

• January's Remix - Revenge
  • It was declared that Orb 3D is cursed after Jon shows footage from his Game Clearing run of the game. As he returns to the game he was playing, Mickey's Dangerous Chase, the game crashes, just like it did when he attempted the game before.
• January's Remix - Revenge Part 5/Finale - 7 Games To Pick
  • When playing a game based on The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Jon gets a raid and pauses the game. In a case of typical Jon luck, the game glitches out.
    Jon: (after the countermeasures) Alright, got the screaming out of my system—OH NO! OH NO! OH FUCK! I think the game didn't appreciate what I was doing!
    (screen transition back to the game, which has become a glitched mess)
  • Later on, after he decides the game has glitched to a point where he can no longer play it, he pauses the game again... and it fixes itself. Jon and chat are confused, but relieved that the game can now be beaten.
• Game Clearing: July's Remix, Lightning Round (Day 1)
  • Jon opens by playing the first Naruto: Clash of Ninja, and sets the tone by consulting Duke Nukem during the opening cutscene, leading to a well-timed remark:
    Iruka: To celebrate your graduation—
    Duke Nukem: I'm gonna kill ya 'til you die from it.
    Naruto: All right!
  • The TMNT 'Cow' alert goes off right as Sasuke appears for the first time.
• Game Clearing: July's Remix, Lightning Round (Day 3)
  • After sweeping through most of Twinkle Star Sprites, Jon gets stalled by the final boss. How does he finally manage to beat her? By glitching out her AI, causing her to start running into everything rather than dodging.
  • During Art Block, he remarks on how quickly some of the fanartists worked, only for one to admit they were banking on him getting SNK'd.

2023

• Game Clearing: Mario Party 5 (Part 2/Finale) & Something Else
  • It takes three tries for Jon to win on Future Dream in Mario Party 5:
    • During the first attempt, right as Jon is about to play the last minigame he needs to win the board, the Gamecube crashes and goes to the error screen, not unlike what happened during TRG's Mario Party 6 playthrough.
    • The second attempts has both Jon and his AI partner Toad up against two of the Koopa Kids in Panic Pinball again, with Toad once again causing Jon to lose the minigame, and thus all his Coins.
  • A YouZTube commenter noticed that the five boards Jon cleared were the five he won when TRG played the boards. The Story mode puts the players on five boards; the first four are randomly chosen out of the six boards available from the beginning of a new file while the fifth is always Bowser Nightmare. Jon's four boards were Pirate Dream (cleared on the first attempt in the previous stream), Future Dream (which took four tries to clear), Undersea Dream, and Sweet Dream.
  • During the first intermission of the night, Jon has to step away to take care of Bagel. While he's away, Jon gets a raid, and at Andrew's request, Tre acts out the dialogue of the countermeasures himself, which Jon counts as the countermeasures for that raid once he gets back.
  • Monopoly (this time played with a Rabbids theme) returns once again for another six-player game after Jon finishes playing Mario Party 5 and plays some F-Zero 99 (after remembering he technically already cleared the 'single-player' mode of Mario Party 7, which had originally won the poll, with TRG). Smight ends up being one of the players, and he wins the game with his "Philosophy of Monopoly".
