The live album reveals a Japandroids that became reliable, downright professional. Their reputation as hard-drinkin’, hard-rockin’, hard-lovin’ punk vagabonds ran up against their reality as a couple of studio perfectionists, and Massey Fucking Hall lays this dissonance bare. Japandroids were capable of live transcendence, but only if they weren’t completely trashed by the time they got on stage or at a point during their marathon tours where King has inevitably blown out his voice. Even Japandroids’ most evangelical fans know that King and David Prowse can’t really pull of most of their vocals live those “whoa”s and “yeah”s don’t quite hit the same when it’s really two guys doing it, as opposed to two guys overdubbed to sound like 250.

Two multiplayer spin-offs, Secret Neighbor and Hello Engineer, were released in October 2019 and October 2021, respectively.  The game spawned a franchise, beginning with a prequel, Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek, released in December 2018. Critics panned the gameplay, control scheme, and technical performance, although some praised the story, mystery elements, and art style. While the initial alpha versions of Hello Neighbor were received positively, the final product was met with largely negative reviews. The game's artificial intelligence (AI) modifies the neighbor's behavior based on the player's past actions, such as setting traps along paths the player followed in a previous attempt. Their goal is to successfully sneak into the basement of the neighbor's house to uncover a dark secret while avoiding being caught by him. In the game, players play as a citizen, who just moved into the neighborhood, and try to break into their neighbor's house. Initially released as public alphas from 2016 to 2017, it received a full release for Windows and Xbox One on December 8, 2017, and later for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android on July 26, 2018. Hello Neighbor is a survival horror stealth game developed by Russian studio Dynamic Pixels and published by tinyBuild.
