Trivia

• The Xbox Series X unboxing video marked the return of John to The D-Pad in person for the first time in almost a year; he had previously been unable to travel from California to Massachusetts due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and during that period had only appeared on the channel in his own livestreams and a handful of remotely recorded videos.
