I sometimes forget this man is an adult that has a child

Ironic that a guy who was supposed to bring despair wound up being one of the happiest moments of the year.

RIpley is going to grow up with three of the goofiest and best uncles.

Imagine if Ripley's birth wasn't number 1, she'd come back years later to this video and be like "oh so Sephiroth is more important, I see how it is DAD" lol

Best moments of 2020: Sephiroth is in the middle of the thumbnail Ripley: Ah, a worthy opponent. Our battle shall be legendary.

As a father myself, seeing Max’s reaction to baby Ripley is truly heart warming

Crazy Taxi with no music is something that the world doesn't need, ever!

After all these years these guys are still NERDS!!

Hi Max. i do not know if you are gonna read these, but anyway. Thank you! Thank you so much for what you do. You are so inspiring to me. I am so happy to see you in your videos and streams. You are always making me happy! I am gonna be a father in a few month, and seeing you so happy with Ripley makes me so exited to see my son! Thank you again, Max! You are really mean a lot to me!

The best way to end the year, Max's yearly recap

2020 sucked, but we got Ripley and Sephiroth, so I mean, that's nice.

46:13 the moment Ripley realized and immediately smiled... heartwarming!

Max’s play through of FF7R is one of the best things this year

Seeing the first few clips really makes me miss pre-pandemic days, damn it.

2020 was a shit year, but we got some amazing Max moments to look back on. Happy new years everyone!

2020 was quite a year with the introduction of certain Iceborne Title updates, Ghost Games, Falling into the Rabbit Hole, New Games, these are what helped me get through 2020 now we must hope 2021 is different for better or worst

7:01 had me on the floor dying.

I was there during the entire FF7 remake playthrough, honestly one of the highlights of my year. Thank you Max

Max in warzone: *hears a vehicle* Also Max: "AND WE'RE JUST GONNA KILL 'EM!"

18:06 The way Benny looks at the camera just absolutely kills me. 🤣

Can we all agree for this channel, The Top 2020 moment was Ripley

What a year...despite I went through 2020, fighting my depression, losing loved ones, growing my KZfaq channel creating montages, having most amazing moments in gaming and I want to say everyone, Max’s friends, Ripley, Max and JJ happy New Years and thank you for giving me inspiration to keep me going! 😭🤘🏼

waiting for kenny's comment calling them a bunch of nerds. Shine on doods!

1:30 Ripley was lucky to even be conceived after that xD

13:40 God, right? Seeing Midgar in "daylight" for the first time is fuckin' overwhelming. The music hits, you're hit with a barrage of sights, and 20+ years of what you thought it might be like.. They knew what they were doing.

47:33 "I want to see your smile again" Murderous original anime swordsman appears!

Man, Max, you have no idea how much this cheered me up. 2020 has sucked so much for me especially here at the end of it, but this genuinely put a huge smile on my face. Seeing you, JaeJae, and Ripley at the end almost made me cry. I’m so happy for you guys and wish you guys nothing but the best this upcoming year. I can’t wait to watch you guys raise a wonderful little girl.

38:37 LOL that just sounds like Homer Simpson! XD

Another year of max gushing over amazing gaming moments, lol. Thanks for another great year, dude!

Yo if y'all ain't tearing up from seeing Max, JaeJae and Ripley on screen together being the cutest family, whatchu even doing? Happy New Year doods and here's to another year of doodness with my favorite group of streamers/content creators

One of the streams i genuinely loved to hang out in this year & grateful to be part of this community. Congrats Max on the new addition to your family this year & wish you and everyone all the best

Holy crap, the feels towards the end, I really love this channel and the whole Yo Videogames team, happy 2021 all

One Of The Most Entertaining People on The Platform. Happy New Year Max.

Man, seeing Max happy makes my day

Man that ending made me cry for real man. When I watch his stream, I almost forgot he had a kid and seeing him making his daughter smile and laugh like that. Max is and always be my favorite streamer/youtuber of all time.

2020 in a year of ups and downs I’m forever grateful to have max and the gang in my life. They got me through my year and a half long breakup strictly through their fun and hijinks. Their bonds with their friends made me reach back out and talk with friends of years past. Thank you Max, Simmons, Steve, Kenny, Jj. I also reach out and congratulate you on the successful birth of Ripley, as late as it maybe. Thank you all for an interesting year. And I wish you all a safe and happy 2021!

Congrats on an amazing career and life changing year. You've brought so much joy to the gaming community as a whole. Thanks as always and good luck in 2021.

Thank you Max and your friends, for making my whole year way better- Really appreciate this.

One of the best online communities. thank you for everything you do. We really do appreciate the whole YoVideogames crew. Happy New Year and Shine On Doods.

A baby sure was a good excuse to miss the shitshot that was Evo this year, or lackthereof.

Seeing Max and JJ with Ripley is some of the most heartwarming stuff i've seen in years. Shine on doods, for many years to come.

The ending just felt like i just finished the story of an awesome game or anime.

thank you max from the bottom of my heart. for making this harsh year. alot better for all of us. keep shining on. much love

Man, Max & the boy's really helped us all through this crazy ass year & made 2020 a bit more enjoyable! Thank you guys!!

2020 has changed so much about our lives. One thing it couldn’t ever change was my enjoyment in this channel. Thank you Max for bringing me many laughs this year. Happy New Year Doods, and SHINE ON!! 🎉🎊🥳 45:58 most important moment right here. Congrats again on the baby Max 😊👏👏

Thank u max n friends n family for another year of hype.

Happy New year to you and your family Max! I lost some friends and family this year and almost felt like giving up, but your content helped keep me sane (as I'm sure it did many others). Nothing but love my dood.

Watching the recap made me realise how many streams I watched this year . probably the only good thing that happened . Happy new year everyone

Been watching you guys for three years now, you guys make the best content around, hoping for a great new year next year!

Watching Max with baby Ripley is probably the most heartwarming thing to ever happen in 2020 all things considered. 😊

There is now tradition for like 3 years .....we sit and watch all these videos cuz its just wholesome and we are trying acomplish something like this u doods are one of a kind ....living and having fun like a family its just great .....luv u all

47:47 someone is a daddy's girl

Thanks for making 2020 a little more bearable Max! Here's hoping 2021 is amazing for you and your now-slightly-larger family!

I love how Max always ends these videos in some wholesome way.

I'm so happy for you that, despite all the bad stuff 2020 would bring, you we're still able to bring so much hype moments to everyone and that you've become a father!! All the best for 2021!

I think this goes for a lot of people; You were a big help in getting through this year. Your videos have brought joy to countless people around the world and all I can say is "Shine on Dood." Here's to the end of 2020 and hopefully, a brighter 2021.

For how much 2020 sucked, you and the doods really made it a bright spot for me. Cheers and thank you for making this past year better for many of us! Looking forward to what 2021 will bring!

Awww, Ripley is adorable! Don't think I've actually seen her before, since I can't keep up with the streams. Max is one of the few people who had a great 2020. Congratulations, everybody reading this, you made it through hell year!

Ripley is going to grow up with all kinds of support. She’s “shining on” just like her parents, Steve, Kenny, and Simmons! I love you guys. Happy New Year!😊👊🏾

13:40 is definitely my favourite, just the quiet emotional appreciation of a beautiful game… i remember how much i adored the 7 remake on my very first play through, i can’t imagine how special it must have been for those who played the original!!

4:48 holy crap great combo! 6:56 nice "trailer" 10:29 JJ was not a fan 11:39 SPOILERS 13:46: two things to make a grown man cry, birth of his child and this... 15:55 16:48 LOCK ON GYRO SMASHER 19:37 das guud 20:17 27:07 30:52 36:40 39:23, 39:41, 46:00 best moments 2020/10 21:23 DROPKICKU!!!! 22:07 Dafuq Dan?! 28:22 EMBUGGEN 32:06 MY NINJA! 43:33 well youre half right 44:40 ASS and you will receive...

Glad we had you and Yo Videogames to entertain us in a very uncertain year. Ripley is adorable! Very happy for us you two as parents!

Who else looks forward to the annual recap?

Having a new baby is like having a new character join your party in an RPG. --You get to choose their name. --You have to spend a lot of money on their equipment. --They start off so under-levelled, you have to babysit them through every encounter until they have enough experience. --But they level up quicker than you expect. --And to them, you'll always be the greatest heroes.

19:38 that joke is amazing lmao

2020 may have been a total awful year but thank you Max and the doods for making this year less of an awful year, the streams and videos definitely helped me a lot through 2020

Not gonna lie, seeing baby Ripley on screen was the happiest, brightest part of such a horrible year. That and the pop-off seeing Sephiroth in Smash. Happy New Year, and keep shining on!

Ripley's already melting my heart, I can imagine her growing up to be a goofball like her Dad, mark my words

Lol I love the Max and his wonderful family, the doods and this community. Edit how you gonna post this while you’re streaming!

Dude, I'm so happy for Max. He's so happy to have Ripley, and it's so sweet. I have no doubts he's gonna be a dope dad, just like a friend of mine who I tend to hang out with much like Max and the rest of YOVG. Best of luck with Ripley, Max, and to the rest of you doods, Shine On in 2021 and onward!

2020 may have not been the best year but max and you doods in chat brought it together and the dreams soundtrack at the end of the video made me tear up a little thank yall for the memories of 2020

This is by far my favorite rewind I've seen in a while.

The video’s song sounds familiar but can’t put my finger on it though. Always bringing a smile to my face with every video you put out! Thank you Max! And here’s to an awesome new year!

JaeJae’s laugh at 19:49 absolutely killed me!

You are amazing Max, and one of the few things that made everyone's days better in this crazy year. We love you, never change!

Max, u are THE reason to be on the interwebs! Dont ever stop beeing like u are! I sadly discovered your content only a few years ago, But it already feels like I am watching a good friend. Seeing u beeing happy, sad or overwhelmed always gives me the chills 😅 Shine on, stay healthy and take good care of your family ✌️😊

Your yearly recaps are always a joy to enjoy. Keep it up dood

Thank you for the year Max

This is pretty much YoVideogames in a nutshell. A group of adults with childlike hearts having fun; even despite the adversities that 2020 brought to us all; they managed to keep having fun, while bringing smiles to their viewers and supporters. Shine on Max, Jessica, Lil' Ripley and the rest of the YoVideogames gang. Happy 2021, and hoping to see more video games and crazy shenanigans from you.

That ending sequence somehow made me emotional the heck 😭

I'm so happy for you Max! From here on your Maximillian Dad xD I hope 2021 brings you good fortune for you,Yo Videogames! And your new member Ripley!

I love watching these at the end of the year, done it since 2015, idk how many times I have rewatched all of them. They are so fun :)

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

5-6 years ago I started to such much has happened between then and I can't wait to see what happens next shine on Max.

11:29 - Insert Patrick Star’s “Look at it” meme here.

Max made this terrible year better for all of us. Thank you, Max!!!

2020 was fucking crazy, and max was crazy with all of us. I mean he even had a kid! Thank you max for everything you do.

Max you made me tear up at the end. Happy new year doods and yovideogames!

Happy New Year Dood. Thanks for all the great times in 2020, I think I can speak for many when I say that you helped a lot of us through it. Best wishes to you and yours

2020 has been a disaster for me... But you and the crew have kept me happy with all your adventures. I wish for you all to have a great 2021 for both you, your crew, and your new born Daughter Ripley. I am looking forward to whats to come in the future!

This is all so wholesome, this is why I love this channel

Thanks for a great year with your content❤

Very funny and touching at the end. Looking forward to 2021 with you doods

Thank you so much Max for the content this year, even on my worst days your stream notification would pop up and make my day instantly better. Have a fantastic year

Nothing quite as hype and awesome as Max becoming a father to such a precious little bean of a girl in Ripley. Wishing nothing but god's love to you and yours dood, your more than deserve it.

Baby Ripley is such a beautiful little dood. She's gonna be a champion.

Honestly, I love being apart of this journey, which I can safely say I ah e been fully this year, but even as on and off since 2015 you have delivered ubto KZfaq a great gift man. The k you for your videos, and have a happy New year and who knows? 2021 could be a brilliant year also.

Y'all are awesome, seriously

Loved it. Thanks, once again, guys!

A year is a history, everyone is the main character. Sometimes we will fail, others we will prevail, that is our character development. However this video here is the CLIMAX OF EVERY STORY, THE YEAR IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BUILD UP TO THIS VERY MOMENT. Thank you Max for this year, and for every one whom read this. I wish you the best, It may sound like almost nothing, but I still do wish for the best. Keep going guys and gals!
