It was all an hallucination. Jacques is fine. He's lying down. Reading a magazine.

If the Genesis games are the best Home Alone titles, he should have showed them for more than a few seconds...
Yep, I just watched it, and I concur. GREAT EPISODE, but he really piqued my interest in the Genesis titles, only to barely show them at the end.
Also, quite fitting given this thread, Jacques makes a "That's racist" joke within the first few moments of the episode, lol.

A little bit mad that he's using JWplayer on the new site.
I understand why though, better ad support, more revenue, and what not.
But my current connection is crap and I can't watch the video without it being stuttering or delayed. Usually I just download an episode if I need to watch it but I can't even do that.
I would donate just to be able to grab the episode.

Yeah, the player died and broke multiple times while watching the episode; going out-of-sync with audio and crashing the resolution to something that appeared smaller than 240p.
I really enjoy the increase in presentation value Jon has been doing lately. I can't say this episode had a lot of standout moments like his previous ones but I'd say they age well with time. His Charlie's Angels episode for example was one I really didn't like at first, and I felt that during this time his insistence on reviewing plain terrible games detracted from his enthusiasm or even constructive criticism which would have been valuable in good games. That said a lot of jokes from that video still linger with me and make me feel relatively nostalgic.
Videos like the Home Alone and Hercules videos are ones I enjoy the most since he balances it all out and can still be positive about games or even just have fun joking about a game which isn't necessarily even bad, which was the reason I came to love him way back when.

I thought the new ep was pretty great, not his best or anything but just a fun watch.

Speaking of JonTron and the Normal Boots family, I'm surprised we don't have an OT for Continue?. I love that show, consistently funny and all the dudes are really likeable.
Also I sat down and watched all the new content on Normal Boots and it was all great. I hope this works out for them.

It seems to me that Jon's always kinda been a little anti-Sega for whatever reason, lol. Arin and Jon used to shit-talk the Genesis a lot on Game Grumps.
I prefer Sega as well, but it's not like I go about ignoring the SNES or talk down to it or anything.
That era of gaming was just amazing all around. People who ignore and/or bash any of the big three systems of the time are seriously missing out.

Great episode. If you still haven't watched it, didn't someone post a direct link to the mp4? You can just download that and watch it without player issues.
New episode tomorrow.
Also, the Home Alone episode is now on Youtube. The next two videos will also be put on Youtube and Normal Boots at the same time. But when it's March new episodes will be put on Normal Boots first again.

Guess they're having a hard time getting people over from YouTube to their own network.

Pretty much all internet reviewers who have their own sites eventually upload to YouTube. Hell, RedLetterMedia just put their Robocop review on YouTube last night at the same time as they put it on Blip, or whatever video host they use. And the Grumps put their first TableFlip on 'Tube too, though everyone cried that it meant the series was dead.
But in reality, all videos end up on YouTube eventually. Sometimes after a while, sometimes right away.
Edit: Eh, that's probably partially it. Though he could have done what ClassicGameRoom does and just did an advertisement to get people knowing.

Wow I wasn't expecting a new video for at least 2 months, pleasantly surprised.
Not necessarily -- I remember a Jontron video where he said the plan was to do it this way from the start (NormalBoots.com first, then YouTube later).
I hope they're doing well. I want to see more Jontron! And glad to hear there's another one coming tomorrow. I wonder what it will be about? (Would love an extravaganza all about Rare games, since those seem to be near and dear to Jontron)
Yeah the idea of NormalBoots was always to offer timed exclusive content under their own terms. Even back then during its original existence it was commonplace for Jon, PBG and the guys to submit their videos a week before YouTube. It wasn't as big of a deal back then though because Jon actually had a weekly schedule.

Before GameGrumps he would upload videos almost weekly.
Hopefully he's getting back into his groove.

After 'State of Affairs' and the gaps following it, I'm still in except the worst mode, but yeah the pace seems to be picking up.

Only half way through this, but WAT at these games. Can't stop laughing.
Jon doesn't like moe girls? Fucking dropped.
I seriously think this might be his best episode yet.

Damn, I completely lost it at the Vietnamese translated Pokemon Diamond. Very good episode.
Actually quite interested in Moemon...I felt it was quite well realized.

Moemon is nice, it's a nice little change of pace. Although my favorite Pokemon hack is Touhoumon.

Aw man, he didn't get to the best part of the Vietnamese translation.
Anywhere that should've said "put in", it said "fuck". Which is amazing.

Maybe its just me (and from the looks of it) it is me.
But I did not laugh once in this ep.
It was great fun to watch but not really funny, even the games where not bad enough like in other videos to make me laugh.
But great video none the less.

Yeah, Nightshade is probably my favorite episode, as well. Bootleg Pokémon is up there, though.

It sucked him into the game.
