Dark Souls III Part 24 - Shy Hat Skeleton Dies :(

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID_0zmr2ajY

Before the video, Arin appears in another one of these mysterious videos he's been doing lately! For "Arin's Advice Corner" he says to cook your own food instead of going to fast food places. It's well and good but he suggests a chicken dish so... bleh.

Arin and Danny kill one of those nice shy skeletons with the hat. Aw :( but it seems to unlock something.

I love that Ganon slurping soup line by them :)

Wow that sudden appearance of the boss! I think Danny speaks for all of us watching too!

Jackbox Party Pack 2: Quiplash Part 2 - Awesome Wordplays!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtLKfYD7j2c

Suzy, Barry and Ross move on to a new game in the pack.

I like that option: 3 in 4 Americans are American! Funny stuff! :)

Bears thinking about Leonardo Di Caprio is funny too :)

"Mario Teaches Breathing"? Are these choices in the game or do you have to write them down? Clever stuff!

From the look of "dicks" in both boxes I have to say it's stuff they've written! I love that :)

With the cat one, they're all really good but I like the one that trails off :)

I like this game more than the other one because they get to write out stuff and it gets to be even more clever :)

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 46 - Cool Dungeon, Not So Cool Puzzle

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IicPXBwKHBc

Arin and Danny try their hand at the slidey ice block puzzle. Yes Danny that is from The Big Hit :) I had to look it up though. I've never seen it.

I like the way Danny says this puzzle is cool :) they don't catch the pun though! It's unintentional!

That sassy Zeldadungeon walkthrough! Wow! It's ok though, I remember 90s game magazines being sassy as well, though not really for N64 games. More for SNES/Mega Drive games around the time Earthworm Jim came out.

They eventually figure things out. They're out of blue flame though... they'll have to get more to rescue King Zora...

Hunie Cam Studio Part 10 - Suzy Pimp

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_jmWE44aq4

Suzy and Arin return to Suzy's masterful run of this game and she's killin' it!

I like that Arin's called "Straight Edge Arin". I don't do any of that stuff either.

Harem pants huh? Hmm...

Dark Souls III Part 23 - Shy Skeleton Hat Guy

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifmrwzhGcAU

Arin and Danny meet another awesome skeleton enemy that uses a wheel to roll at them! So funny! They come up with all these cheesy wheel puns as well!

I was thinking about that "cheeses get gouda" line a few days ago and was wondering if they ever said it before! I love cheesy pun jokes as well. They're brilliant. Must watch Commando sometime :)

They get murdered by a player who invaded their world! Oh my gosh :O they looked all scary and red...

The skeleton hat guy is here too again! Yay :) he's so shy, he doesn't even tip.

Jackbox Party Pack 2: Earwax Part 1 - Evacuation comple...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJO-trknWcE

Not to be confused with the KittyKatGaming series with Ninja Sex Party! This one has Suzy as well but also features Barry and Ross! I missed Ross :)

The male urinating into toilet (a lot) reminds me of the Austin Powers scene!

"Ahegao" . Suzy tries desperately to educate Ross and Barry about hentai.

Captain Motorcycle - By Duke Pony

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oTHObp6Tp4

Captain Motorcycle is the character Danny plays in this cartoon. He tries hitting on the girls and referring to himself in the third person but doesn't get on so well. The girls are played by Arin. I like the way the music from Link Between Worlds seems to suit the cartoon somewhat!

Captain Motorcycle is a bit like the Danny Sexbang character and he is funny in a Johnny Bravo kind of way, but the Danny Sexbang character is much more lovable!

Star Wars Battlefront with Special Guest Claudio Sanchez

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTxG9rC65AI

Arin and Danny are joined by Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria. That's a band is it? It's another Guest Grumps!

We learn about Arin's hatred for Boba Fett. Danny and Claudio discuss looking after your voice while touring on the road.

Claudio Sanchez is automatically a cool guy in my book because he plays with inverted controls. :)

Earwax With Ninja Sex Party Part 2 - More Farts

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUqF9uf53Ok

Suzy, Danny and Brian wax lyrical um.... I can't think of a good way to open with this.

The banjo and the proctologist ones were funny alright!

I think I remember Nolan Bushnell being excited about smartphone gaming and people using their phones and tablets to play some kind of board game together.

Dark Souls III Part 22 - Great Balls of Skeletons

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-L3fpPuIaI

Arin and Danny discuss recreational pooping. I would not like to do that recreationally.

Wow, that ball of skeletons rolling up and down the stairs is awesome! I love that skeleton in the hat that runs away too! This game is starting to seem really cool to me now!

Papers Please

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD8GM3H8onk

Brian and Barry play this game that got everyone talking a few years ago.

Administrative Professionals Day? Sounds nice. Or noice I should say.

This game seems kinda stressful, or at least it seems to be due to the atmosphere. Barry makes sure Brian is stressed anyway!

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 45 - Kool Part

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ6nZt8Rx6A

Arin and Danny try to get a reaction out of Banooru with every song they can think of. Thankfully, they find the solution in a walkthrough. It's funny seeing Epona showing up and day turning into night and everything else except what Arin wants to happen!

They then have a discussion about Epona's carrots and the general subject of "cooldown". As for me, I never found an example of cooldown in a game that I like.

I love that Kool-Aid joke!

Arin talks a little about the Sequelitis Zelda episode.

They make some good progress in the Ice Cavern. I remember being stuck for ages first time around because I didn't put it together that you had to put the blue flame in a bottle.

The Blizzard Rant - JonTron

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzT8UzO1zGQ

About time I blogged about this too! JonTron's back to talk about the WoW Vanilla service and Nostalrius ending.

I don't play WoW and never have, but this is a great video and shows how a lot of players feel about that whole situation. Those in-game tributes and pilgrimmages are amazing!

I love the way he trails off with his chess analogy :) he's not only talented, but his voice will reach many!

The Ad Monster

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsnuVYU1tOA

Here is the Ad Monster clip from recent Grump episodes, uploaded to GrumpOut for us to enjoy and get informed about YouTube Red's Ad-Free subscription service!

Brian, Barry, Arin and Suzy do a great job here, getting beaten up and getting paid. Great dialogue at the start too :)

Again, who is the Ad Monster? My guess is still Ross but... man I dunno.

How We Do It

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfQ9F0x9yo

Arin does instructional videos like no one else! It's kind of like the Donkey Kong Country promo! Anyway there's one thing that cracks me up about this and that is the thought of say, multimedia students watching this, being all serious and academic and taking notes while Arin's being all crazy informative, emphasis on the crazy!

Goodbye Old Grump Couch!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RselZqOWwsw

Haven't blogged about a GrumpOut video for a while!

This is an interesting one. Ross waits for people to show up to take the couch and among the lovelies he meets, one of them is a couple on their honeymoon! That's great :)

There's a clip of Danny and Arin talking about the couch and the uh.... white stain. The couch is being taken by an awesome lovelie (GageAgnew on Twitter) who plans to play Banjo-Kazooie on it. It's going to a good home :)

After the loading, a little montage plays of the live action moments with the couch with Arin singing a specialised version of time of your life. Then Ross tells the rest in the office all about how it went.

So yeah... my thoughts. That couch has been there since the very first trailers for Game Grumps on Jon and Arin's own YouTube channels. Steam Train too. It has some legacy! They always talked about how cramped it was and when they were getting a new one or whatever and yeah they've been through changes. The whole thing seems to have gone pretty well and that's cool.

KittyKatGaming 200k Subscriber Party - Well Done Suzy!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YskcSQEHNQo

Well done on 200 thousand subscribers Suzy! Here she is delivering a message of love and appreciation! Yay!

I've been watching KittyKatGaming since it began and kept checking to see when it was going to update regularly and I'm quite happy to see it do so well! I'm glad to be blogging about these episodes as well as the Game Grumps episodes too.

Oh and Suzy, you're still part of the beauty world! Video games will make the beauty world awesome.

Hunie Cam Studio Part 9 - Arin's Breakfasts

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgHbTe4YlQE

Arin and Suzy have a cool new thumbnail that depicts them in this game's style, complete with hearts in eyes! Nice! It's a lot better than looking at a laptop in disgust anyway! They were never disgusted by this game! Suzy's obsessed! Arin just wants to play Dark Souls III! He's interested in this game too of course.

They start over from the beginning and Suzy's got the whole thing sussed! She offers lots of pro tips.

Wow, I want one of Arin's breakfasts... not sure about biscuits and gravy. I know it's a different thing to here though.

Very important to differentiate between "Free To Play" and paying once for a game, like you do with this one. That's gonna be an even bigger thing in the near future so it's best to be informed!

Dark Souls III Part 21 - Grinding and Arin

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rmyg8AkVdU

Arin and Danny discuss dodging and blocking. In games like Link's Awakening I used to block all the time but now I've played it so much that I almost never equip the shield unless it's for puzzles or something.

From the sound of things, Arin sounds prepared! He's after doing lots of grinding and stuff. He takes care of the boss and his preparations pay off! Yay :)

Ghostbusters Part 3 - Boson Math Grumps

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URfmBnThEYY

Barry and Brian ponder a ghost mitzvah and enlighten us about Jewish traditions. Also about their travels, which is interesting. Especially about the Dead Sea and balls tingling!

Brian gets very excited when Bosons are mentioned in the game and makes it Math Grumps again! he tells us what Bosons are.

Barry draws a nice little face at the end.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 44 - Cleveland Yeah!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFZYnmOR8-g

Arin and Danny warp to the Temple of Time. Overlays on the screen for the Intellivision? Is he getting mixed up with the Vectrex? Intellivision had overlays but that was for the controllers.

Wow! Nice heads up for the Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video Attempts! Those videos are pretty funny :) I've never seen them before! Of course, they're getting nice Grump bumps :) the other video about the cat on his channel is great too!

Earwax With Ninja Sex Party Part 1 - Plaid Amigos

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2R_i8n2yng

Suzy is joined by Danny and Brian of Ninja Sex Party once again for this series. It's another one of these smartphone game show games but this is about voting for sound effects. It seems fun and there are farts in it. What's to dislike? Maybe I can re-describe this game as being a fart app with depth and social interaction. The most dangerous kind!

That Instagram pic of Suzy, Barry and Jack all wearing the same shirt is amazing! They must think the same from spending so much time together in the office.

Tuesday 26 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 20 - Post Guest Grumps Session

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5fK_ipRlf4

Arin and Danny begin their 14th episode of the day after a long day of recording. Steve O was a great guest and Rob Schneider is gonna be on soon? Wow!

Yeah they normally do 14 episode sessions that go on into the night don't they? I find myself doing lots of blogs in a session sometimes!

That's an awesome thing Rob Schneider said to them... They talk a little bit about their experience with their guests and how much they loved having them!

They're up against some highly competent opponents in this episode... There's a lot of rolling around going on. Is this how Dark Souls is normally played? I suppose it's similar to how the dodge move is used in the IGAvania Castlevania games.

Ghostbusters Part 2 - Barry Blanc

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TssoHmWx0So

Barry and Brian are back! Brian talks about the time he went to see the movie when it came out in 1984. I was a baby! Brian was scared of it.

That Busta Rhymes thing was silly but fun :)

They have lots of fun with cartoon character impressions too.

Wheel of Fortune with Special Guest Jacob Anderson

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90lejF5TzGM

Arin and Danny are back with Jacob Anderson! The last episode with him was fun so here's another!

The "Bankrupt" panel shows up again! Just like on a previous playthrough! Old traumas coming back :)

They have great fun on the "Live And Learn" puzzle! I was yelling "hanging on the edge of tomorrow" at them when they couldn't figure it out and then they sang it out loud when Jacob got it! Hahaha what fun :)

Danny's avatar voice is pretty crazy.

That Lobster Ravioli one was weird with the consonants.

What is Arin's Wiimote ninja hold?? I must know!

I never heard of Leaves of Grass.

I love the end slate where they have fun with accents. It's great :)

Hunie Cam Studio Part 8 - Makin' the Muns, Huns

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU5By6Wz2BQ

Arin and Suzy imagine some scenarios for their girls. I guess you eventually would come up with your own stories about their lives when you play something like this.

Ah I remember the One Piece Mansion playthrough on Game Grumps. It's similar in many ways alright.

Monday 25 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 19 - Lanky Swamp Lanks

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGG1TBJxXMo

Arin and Danny meet another of those lanky guys.

They have a talk about YouTubers and make a nice reference to the AVGN :) I love stuff like this.

Are you guys sure you're not confusing snails with hermit crabs? Though I'm not sure either.

Ghostbusters Part 1 - Wii Version Best Version!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SO_LNY13Ls

Barry and Brian play Ghostbusters for Wii! Excellent choice gentlemen! :D

Yes they got the cast to do the voices! There was a point during the last generation of video games, and it was thanks mostly to the Wii, where most companies cared about making games and good games. Mainstream video games had a vitality for a while.

Barry has a great time shooting the proton pack around :)

They show very nice respect to Harold Raimis too. In addition to all their praise of him, I'd like to say that I loved Year One.

Game of Thrones & Mario Kart with Special Guest Jacob Anderson

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BASELWRpRks

Arin and Danny have Jacob Anderson for Guest Grumps! They start by having fun with accents!

They start with a Game of Thrones game. I am completely ignorant in all things Game of Thrones so I just like the commentary rather than the game itself. It's a good thing it still manages to be entertaining :)

That story is brilliant about being tricked into watching Mortal Kombat!

It's so sweet to hear stuff about people bonding over Deadpool :)

The old bearded guy looks like Anthony Hopkins.

Eventually they get bored and try to break the game and make funny stuff happen.

They jump cut to Mario Kart 64 at the 25 minute mark. You're welcome :)

Eenie Meany Miney Mo is hilarious by them!

Oh cool, they gave him a Grump face and all!

Wow, I didn't know they don't know the word "Pram" in the U.S.... interesting.

OMG his N64 got stolen? That's an awful thing to happen :(

I wonder how he finds the extra speed of the U.S. version of Mario Kart 64...

Wow, all those swears that Americans don't say :)  and yes I agree wholeheartedly. Americans sound so weird when they say uh... the C word. I'd go so far to say that British people don't even say it as well as Irish people do. I may have said this before!

What better way to end this video than with a regional Wii joke as well :) perfection!

Sunday 24 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 18 - Online Covenant Thingy

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CMYCIQ5T1s

Arin and Danny experience the Wolf covenant thing, which involves playing online with other people's worlds. Kind of interesting and seems like a good way to disguise busywork.

Danny talks about sayings and bits added on to sayings and how annoying it can be. I think they're really funny actually! I have a few of them from other people. They get tiresome like any other joke I suppose!

Nice fun guy joke too :)

They take on a big slimy crab with a fearsome claw hammering move and beat it.

After all the victories, they die from poison. What a way to go... at least they can rendez vouz with the wolf again.

I like the Danny schedule :) it's funny.

Man, this poison swamp... can you not get wellington boots or something?

Superhot Part 3 - Tree Dudes!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIg_kxQUmR8

Before the video, the Ad Monster skit is played again!

Barry and Brian continue being super hot and playing this game too! That thing with the truck is pretty cool and short and snappy.

At this point, anyone would be really curious about the plot, so we get more tasty exposition bits. Yay!

I love that doctor joke! It's like the one about putting a dog down because it's really heavy.

It's Joke Train for a while :)

Oo... the exposition gets all suspicious and conspiratorial. Then they take turns playing a different game in the DOS menu called Tree Dude and have a nice time chasing high scores. Yay :) Happy game time to balance things out!

I love games with in-game game arcades.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 43 - Hair and Friendship

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPIO-oyLZ3c

Arin and Danny fight Volvagia again. Danny likes the way he holds his head like Godzilla used to do in the 70s Godzilla movies :)

Arin says he has trouble remembering the bosses, even though he played this game through a few times. I'm not sure how many times I've played this game through completely, but it's almost certainly in the double digits. I remember them all. The newer Zeldas I sometimes forget the bosses alright.

I like those two New Jersey guys talking about Pokémon! They sound funny :)

Holy cow I didn't know arrows could work on him! Learning something new all the time about this game! The targetting doesn't really encourage it though, so maybe that's why I never bothered with it.

Arin and Danny have a touching moment where Danny's all flattered for Arin liking his face and liking younger and more innocent times. Wow, now I'm trying to imagine Brian with a black beard! His grey one is awesome though.

So Arin was hungry and had to go for a pee too? Actually, that's how I always feel when I finish a Zelda dungeon as well. Some of them can take about 2 hours! In Twilight Princess anyway. The time melts away and you then remember you have to go to the bathroom and have lunch when you beat the boss. I hope Arin has a break after this! Not to sound like an in-game break reminder or anything!

Saturday 23 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 17 - Cool Swamp Adventures and Amazing Views

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RpnEE-PXAk

Arin appears before the video in another of these mysterious skits! This time it's a lovely motivational thing where he says he'll beat our naysayers with that plastic bat he still has. Funny and lovely to hear the life affirming things too!

Arin and Danny freak out at this huge thing chasing them through the swamp and shooting flaming skulls at them. Areas like this make this game freaking cool! They easily dispatch of the lanky guy from the last episode by throwing flaming things at him. All those nasty little death enemies too.

They climb a ladder, join a wolf's covenant and check out some cool views. It's really gorgeous and more colourful than Bloodborne. Nice that there's these little guys to chase for extra bonus stuff. They're like Metal Slimes are they?

Superhot Part 2 - Bands, Impressions and Humble Bragging

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV3_cO5khCA

Barry and Brian continue jumping through the DOS matrix thingy. More tasty little bits of exposition too. Yay!

Brian talks about his three prong relationship thingy that he lives by. Kind of interesting and there may be good wisdom in it.

"You expect me to believe that there's a British band whose music is slow and moody?". Classic Brian! :)

I'm afraid I don't know about this Elbow band either Barry. I only know Devo from the Chef Aid South Park album with the song Huboon Stomp.

Wow that poor guy who only wanted to take a dump. Imagine running for the toilet and someone comes along and punches you in the face? Not a good day to have.

Haha "TIME GENTLEMEN PLEASE". Nice choice of phrase there :)

I love the humble bragging and the famous people impressions! Nice way to end the video with the car crash too. Very fun video :)

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 42 - Mailbag Gaming, Game Grumps Precursor Story

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2iEcPbDe5E

Arin and Danny have story time. "Mailbag Gaming"?! Wow! I'm glad we have the current name of the show! Also, Jon isn't the original Not So Grump? Mind is blowing all over the place here... but no, it was just a test thing.

Danny talks about his nervousness in starting and it's so sweet of him. I remember those first episodes well and I remember being really confused and surprised. Also very sad that Jon was gone, but I was always very open to Ross and Danny. Then in no time at all, those guys just made me fall in love with them and cemented my belief that Game Grumps is always full of amazing talent. They're still awesome to this day and I'm so glad to have them! Jon continues to be an amazing talent and I love writing about his stuff too. I never had hatred for Danny :) so sweet to hear that Jon texted him and told him he couldn't have had a better person to pass the torch to. Aww!

By the way, Arin's getting his butt handed to him by Volvagia.... that little impy boss from before takes so many hits too.

Drawful With Ninja Sex Party Part 2 - True or False Bugsplatting

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFxf-ROnhWg

Danny, Brian and Suzy continue being drawsome and play more Drawful.

No one said Sun Salutation for the first one? How strange... ah well.

They change games to a true or false one. Nutbag52 is an amazing name Danny :)

Friday 22 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 16 - Kingdom Hurrrrghs

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EHi7L2BkYs

Arin appears before the video to talk to us again in another of these curious little skits with ukelele-like music playing in the background. What are they all about, if anything?? Anyway, this one has a point to it, where he talks about an older Game Grumps Animated by Carl Doonan and has a little correction of a mistake he made with linking. He then stares at us for taking so long to click anything.

These skits continue to be very mysterious!

Arin and Danny recommend watching The Princess Bride. I do too! It's a great movie, even though I need to have the subtitles on when André the Giant is speaking.

Yeah I love the R and L swapping with Japanese accents too :)

Yikes... Kingdom Hearts. I haven't played it properly myself but that's because I really can't see the appeal. It makes me feel like I'm too old to play it :(

Wow that's a nice story about Danny's improv music class making him want to pursue a musical comedy career! So nice :) Improv can be really fun alright.

Double yikes on that lanky monster that claws Arin's face off after jumping on him. Not a good way to go...

Oh my gosh that poor girl reviewing a Kingdom Hearts game! At least she had the pepper to distract her though.

Superhot Part 1 - DOS Rocks

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ_5Qosqvbg

Brian and Barry have Beard Train and stare at a DOS interface. This game was released in February so gotta excuse the oldness of it.

Wow! This FPS is a pretty cool concept! Enemies only move when you do, so you have to be all tactical.

I love the setup too, where you're hearing about it as a rumour from a guy in an ancient internet chatroom. I love that cosy touch about it :) makes me want to see if there's more of that kind of thing!

Ride Me - By Brasschee

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9KU70_AET8

This cartoon was inspired by a conversation Arin and Danny had during the Link Between Worlds playthrough. They gotta get back to that someday :)

It's about the Lion, Witch and Wardrobe and Arin was talking about American and British version differences. I'm not that familiar with it myself but some of the expressions here are cool when Arin exclaims "RIDE ME!", particularly the one with all the teeth and crazy eyes!

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 41 - Im-boss-ible Key

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-M5MzvNaqg

Before the video, Arin and Barry show the fly on the wall shaky camera the new Game Grumps shirt! It's the whole crew all bunched up in a car for an awesome road trip or something. Who's that at the start? Is it Vernon? I won't make any rash labelling since I don't know for sure... Anyway the shirt is cool and the Hanna-Barbera sound effect at the end is brilliant too :)

Arin and Danny beat down the pillars but get a bit muddled when looking for the Boss Key and trying to do something with the Song of Time. Danny makes a good reference to Wayne's World with the hazy outline that shows up when Link plays a song!

Danny gets a glimpse of what the 3D Like Likes are like and is horrified.

Poor Arin! When I was playing this game at first, I used a walkthrough from the British official Nintendo magazine for all the dungeons. Well, except the Spirit Temple, which became my favourite temple. I'm not sure why I didn't use one for that temple. Of course, that's if I remember right. I think it may have been between issues or something. I'm well able to cope with it now, but I do remember not being confident in the dungeons at all back then. I'm still not confident at all in the Master Quest dungeons!

So, that Hebrew song Danny talked about was kind of sweet :) also funny to imagine it being Numa Numa!

Arin then ends the episode on a cliffhanger! He's got a story to tell next time! Dang it! I love the stories!

Hunie Cam Studio Part 7 - Pimp Couple

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-m4u-rmeAc

Arin and Suzy have more girls now and so have lots more to manage.

They're pros! Imagine an adult cam ring they could do in real life? Maybe then Ross will finally do his ASMR thing.

Happy 41st Birthday Brian!

I'm a bit late in my postings but I'll post this for this date. Happy Birthday Brian! Very happy to see you on the show now! I was thrilled when you first started appearing in episodes and I really enjoy what you have to offer on the show. When it comes to age, I'm between Arin and Danny and when it comes to a peer group, your influence makes me think about the challenges in life that I'm going to face next. Whatever cool things are up ahead too.  Hope you had a great day :)

Thursday 21 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 15 - A Crab! Zelda's?

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOnP9Htlcq4

Arin and Danny sing in synch. It's amazing :)

I remember Wave Race on GameCube looked amazing with its water effects too.

When it comes to insects, I like throwing them out the window. If they can't be released easily, I have to swat them. Similar reason as Arin's.

That crab is kinda cool :)

Burnout - Drugs Are Dumb

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2HCWBIGEgg

Before the video, the Ad Monster skit is shown again! It's a goodie. So who is it? Is it Ross? I think it may be Ross. The voice reminds me of when Ross stole all the toilet paper to become a mummy in the goddammit Ross shirt video.

Barry and Brian play the GameCube version of a game. Yay! Graphics look very smooth and the way the cars move when they turn is twitchy.

They have a head to head race with checkpoints and laps. Things look so clean and the statistics show up so clearly! Some developers today should try doing stuff like that!

I didn't know wrought was the past tense of work... Interesting. What's not so interesting though is drug humour. It's crap.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 40 - Cheating, Evil and Meat

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SNaxA_hiq4

Arin appears before the video to say don't do drugs or he'll beat the crap out of you. It's Grump All-Stars To The Rescue! What's with these quirky little skits? Are there more of them on the way? Must keep watching! Maybe... find... out!

Arin and Danny talk about naps and getting weird e-mails. My generation! :)

They talk a bit about cheating too. I've never done it and it's interesting to hear Danny talk about it and his life experience.

They get a bit deep and talk about evil. Zelda playthroughs do seem to be ones where they get deep! Something about Zelda games alright make you think in depth about things while you play.

When something bad is happening to you, it's very difficult to perceive it as anything but evil. What's going on behind this bad thing happening may not be evil, but you still have to deal with this bad thing happening to you.

They face the dancing puppet fire bomb mini-boss thing. I never use the hookshot on it! I always threw bombs at it! Now that I know that I can, I think I'll prefer to use the hookshot like they just did!

Arin makes an excellent point about good vs evil in western storytelling due to it being combative.

The conversation about meats is interesting! I don't like poultry, but I do like pork and venison!

I like the way Danny brings it full circle by saying the guy that offered him rabbit to eat made it look like a rabbit and that he was evil for doing so! Also, Arin badly needs some Keese repellent!

Drawful With Ninja Sex Party Part 1 - Stegosaurus Danny

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTMq6mt17s

Suzy returns to Drawful, this time having Danny and Brian for company! Yay! From the thumbnail, it looks like her avatar was given a big ball of yarn to play with! Aw! :)

Dark Souls III Part 14 - Thank You Too Arin!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWZrvSwbNWs

Arin appears before the video advertising... nothing and making a sketch about... nothing. Nope! Just a nice little short greeting and a message of thanks for watching Game Grumps! Yay! Thank you too Arin :) It's my pleasure! I didn't watch the near 4,000 videos ye made over the past four years just to wait for you to say thanks, because I enjoy it every day! Such a lovely gesture though! :)

Arin and Danny explore more spooky place names. Some people are throwing barrels at them like Donkey Kong.

I agree with Danny about Bloodborne missing a little bit of colour.

Poor Arin struggles with an annoying winged enemy around the bonfire but he eventually conquers it! Yay!

Pac-Man Fever Part 5 - Thanks Danny!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Afpjo1qy_g

Barry and Brian talk about beards since Brian has a beard now.

They also talk about vulva. It's interesting how vagina jokes are received. It makes me think of the South Park episode where the guys laugh about farts but are repulsed by queefs.

Wow! $100 from Danny! Thanks! :)


Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 39 - Ad Monster Draws Near!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZn4wbsdUik

Before the video, Brian, Barry, Suzy and Arin do this crazy live action sequence with this thing called the Ad Monster! It's got some bad shaky cam there but it is humorous enough. The actual steady cam part is where Arin's getting a payout of cash from it! Maybe that was intentional? Pay to get rid of shaky cam? Hmm! Anyway, it's for YouTube Red! It does sound like a good idea to subscribe to something that I get so much entertainment from and not have to put up with ads. Well, it's an option. Not sure if Ireland has access to it.

Arin and Danny start with a fart. In a pillow. This turns into a jump cut to take a dump soon afterwards.

Oh boy, the amount of trouble they have with the fence! Whew... But yeah that chanting is extremely creepy. I like that shout out Arin gives :)

Ninja Sex Party did indeed leave that "Arin sucks at video games" comment! In just a couple of days it has 10,472 ratings! Yikes!

For some weird reason, I used to think that the Goron special crop was Biggoron's Sword.

Regarding the ambient dungeon music, I gotta say once again that I think the Forest Temple music is unbelievably creepy! It is annoying and repetitive too, but there are voice-like sounds in it that you can't make out and it gets under your skin!

By the way, who's playing as the Ad Monster?

Hunie Cam Studio Part 6 - Hiring More Girls

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSe_1hKOqoc

Arin and Suzy get the market cornered on the Huge Tits category. Just wanted to say that :)

Wow this game has cake farts? Wow! They hire another girl who with the least expensive vices.

Tuesday 19 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 13 - Unbelievable Tree

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y22EhcO-xGM

Arin and Danny have a calm before the storm comes with this unbelievable tree monster that's just teeming with gross monstrousness from every inch of its body.

I liked the lovesick teenager bit :)

Danny had two girlfriends since the "Big Zam" episode? Wow... I thought he stayed single the whole time. Hm...


Pac-Man Fever Part 4 - Aesopian Math Grumps

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k3Cn562OXQ

Brian and Kermit... uh... I mean Barry are back to the Fever. Are they going out of their mind?

On the contrary, there's a bit of Math Grumps here! It's about the Moon and it having its own gravity and the point about people obsessed with formulas instead of concepts. It's kind of... Aesopian. Yes that's a real word.

They talk a little about some American colleges too. Kind of interesting.

MadWorld with Special Guest Steve-O - FINALLY! Another Guest Grumps!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLREkrpbW9s

FINALLY! After so long we have another Guest Grumps! I'm so glad that I get to use a label for it! Grant Kirkhope was the first. May there be many more!

Steve-O is here this time. It's been so long since I watched Jackass... I used to love it actually and the first movie was one of the times I laughed the most at the cinema.

So, Arin and Danny play MadWorld with him! He wanted the most violent and the worst of the worst! I like the way he talks favourably about video games. :)

Holy cow his laugh too! What's with his voice? It's otherworldly!

I have to answer Steve-O's question about video games and getting laid... yes it has happened.

He talks a bit about video game violence and news media irresponsibility and also a bit about Tetris, all while MadWorld gore is happening right there. I haven't played MadWorld yet and it seems a bit repetitive but I can't imagine it being as good when Steve-O isn't around! He definitely adds something to the game!

Also, omg when he plays and gets a thrill of using the Wii Remote... it's the thrill we all felt when we first used the Wii with games like this! In my case, it was No More Heroes :) But of course we had that thrill with playing regular Wii games first too.

They talk about Steve-O's stunts and the battering his body has taken and a bit about his drug use too. They talk about that recent Concussion movie. I wonder if he's ever seen that Burt Reynolds movie about an aging stuntman? Hooper is what it's called. That's what I'm thinking about when I hear him talking about the crazy stuff he did and how he feels about stuff now.

Well, now I know what "crushing" means! It's kind of sweet to hear that Steve-O worries about having a healthy relationship. Interesting to hear him and Danny have this discussion too. Also very sweet to see Danny get flustered and teased about a girl! It's a boys slumber party over here!

After one last brutal boss fight, they call it an episode. I gotta say, this was amazing! I wonder if I should check out Steve-O's Guilty As Charged comedy special thing? I haven't watched him in anything in a very long time.

Would You Rather? Part 2 - Best of Buds!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksBrTagHcGM

Suzy and Pamela answer the Tabasco and mint question. I saw a bit of Pamela's Hot Pepper Gaming video. Yikes! I agree with Pamela and Suzy on this one! I agree with the Pokémon one too!

I would like to be a superb writer too! Can you imagine? :)

I think I'd rather dress like royalty. Not sure though. Pimp sounds good too.

I would rather have 150 dollars in quarters. Yup.

I would like Night vision too.

For the rest of the video Suzy and Pamela talk like the best of buds :) it's so nice to see!

Monday 18 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 12 - Dog Boned

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJPpLBY1nwY

Arin and Danny have another funny sequence running from a dog, only to get killed. They have a very close call to retrieve their souls before getting killed again!

I like the Grindr talk they have :) It's cute.

Love the cliffhanger at the end too because Danny can really feel it! He's fascinated by this new area they just entered. Maybe it's the last episode they're recording for this session?

I love that "sad character" Danny created at the end too :) looks like they're all dressed for a fun day but they're not having a fun day!

Cat in the Hat - Mike Myers Madness

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRGW1KbUl34

Barry and Brian bravely go into this game! No guys, it's not the crab walk that's in the Exorcist, it's the spider walk. Mark Kermode would have a fit.

"Even the text doesn't wanna be here!" Barry cringes, which is pretty funny! Brian said this is the first game he found that worked. Barry begins playing and his expectations are actually exceeded. It seems to be like a 2.5D platformer like Klonoa or Pandemondium.

So I Married An Axe Murderer is a great Mike Myers movie, but I think my favourite is The Spy Who Shagged Me. That is such a fun movie to watch.

I kind of like seeing them play these "licensed schlock" games. It would be interesting to see how many of them were worth playing. We actually don't see too many of them on consoles these days. Comparatively speaking, of course.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 38 - Fire Temple Chanting

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xck0Ji7TS-0

Before the video, Arin appears to talk about a RUN DBZ shirt that Vernon is posing in. What does it mean? What's the reference? I don't get it.

Arin and Danny discover ocarina tricks. It's true! They just put it in there for fun and it has no purpose whatsoever. The official Nintendo magazine here back in the day used to print button maps to play various pieces of music like The Simpsons theme! Great stuff :)

"You played that march in April" Danny says. Top marks right there :)

The funny dialogue with the Gorons is pretty cool. That high pitched "Liiiiink" they say sounds like Ling from Kung Pow!

They suddenly realise they have the version of the game that has the Arabic chanting! Wow! What a find! :)
that chanting is actually really unsettling when you listen to it with no distractions alone at night. A lot of Ocarina of Time dungeon music is.

Danny mentions the countries where Game Grumps is most popular. I'm in Ireland, which isn't on that list... Ah well...

Sunday 17 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 11 - Napping Pose

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puW_l_oASog

Arin and Danny open with a rigor mortis/erection joke. Sets the tone :P

I like the sleeping napping character at the end! It's cool that they learn the pose from him too.

Pac-Man Fever Part 3 - Return of Barry's Kermit

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n321VCjcBWI

Brian and Barry play some more Pac-Minigames. I like the way Barry makes fun of the way Brian has to look at the buttons on the controller! I remember when I couldn't figure out a PlayStation controller either...

Barry does his now famous Kermit the Frog impression here too! They talk about Muppets and it's cute how Audrey thinks her dad works on that show! Danny would make a good Animal! I can totally picture the Animal saying "NOT SO GRUMP!" in the intro! I didn't think about the low number of female Muppets... Huh...

I guess Barry's Kermit. Brian is almost certainly Rowlf! At first I thought because he's the older than the other Grumps but then I remember that he plays piano too! He's totally Rowlf!

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 37 - Ain't The Sharpest Goron In The Shed

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qofxgxpiyxQ

Arin and Danny figure out what to do next. They travel back to the future. Danny wonders about any other examples of a game character that changes throughout the game as you play. I have an example of this actually: The hero from Dragon Quest V. You start as a little boy and you then play at a later stage where you're a man. There are a few other examples I can think of, but this may be the most relevant.

Then they have to bomb that Goron who rolls around the Goron City. I was cringing at this because I remember how it takes forever for me to get him every time I do a playthrough. Arin though, once he finds him, manages it almost straight away! On his very last bomb too! WOW!

The conversation with Slurmp the Goron is hilarious when Danny says he looks like the lead singer of Smash Mouth! The pronunciation of Volvagia is brilliant too!

Saturday 16 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 10 - Foggy Rats

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzfyZ0tvNOU

Before the video, Arin and Suzy appear playing hangman in an ad for LootCrate. It's fun but what's with the shaky cam?

Arin and Danny try to avoid giant arrows raining on them. Brian's birthday is soon! Must keep that in mind.

WOW at that giant rat coming out of the fog! They talk about Burger King for a while. I like the onion rings from there. My favourite part about them.

Pac-Man Fever Part 2 - Sandwiches and Slopes

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq0786VdrMs

Barry and Brian aren't sure if Donkey Kong is a Namco character or not. What the heck guys? Ye're kidding, right?

Brian remembers a tweet he liked about Sir Mix a Lot having a twin brother who cannot tell the truth and what question should you ask them. This reminds me of the Doors game that Suzy played a while back and I wish Brian and Barry or someone would play it on Steam Train or something!

What is with Barry and the sandwich and slope metaphors? Did he miss lunch? :P

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 36 - Oh Well... Chomp Chomp...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B92WUoy0po

Arin and Danny go to Goron City and then back to the Temple of Time to meet Sheik again, giving him the Bale Batman voice.

It's funny how Danny keeps mistaking Epona's gender!

They meet the magic bean salesman too and buy some from him. I love the way he says Chomp Chomp :)

Gotta say about Nathan Barnatt as well, he is hysterical but man I wouldn't go through that painful stuff for the sake of comedy. Some of that is insane!

Hunie Cam Studio Part 5 - Straight Edge Girls Are The Best

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BQUxfvQIOk

Arin and Suzy fail something and have to start over? This game is kind of cruel....

They start afresh and try with a girl that doesn't smoke or drink. Avoiding the money sinks!

It works out really well! I hope it continues to work well. It's good commentary on real life! Girls who don't smoke or drink are the best!

Friday 15 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 9 - Tower Attacker

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COpZKwgM4xw

Arin and Danny open together by singing Waterfalls by TLC. It's nice.

They meet some weird and wonderful creatures and dudes. There's one that attacks from a tower by shooting big powerful arrow thingies. Arin's well prepared for it though. What kind of arrows are those?

Pac-Man Fever Part 1 - Going Out of My Mind

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TQ6TyrFTNI

Barry and Brian take on this Pac-Man game I never really heard of! Great to learn about it this way though!

I'm quite surprised to learn that Brian has never seen a single episode of Friends! What was this game stack they had to play through? Submissions from fans?

Brian even recites the hit song of the same title that came out way back then. I only heard it in recent times myself. It's a great song :)

Lady Maria - By Scott Falco

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiE6gN6pHDk

Wow! Fantastic character designs and expressions inspired by the Maria fight in Arin and Danny's Bloodbourne playthrough. Maria seems dangerous and hot and Arin's this gallant hero that goes through all kinds of emotions and actions during his fight. Danny's this weird ghost thing and it's pretty cool too! There's something very Roger Ramjet about these designs. Even the thumbnail looks really fun and expressive.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 35 - Nintendo 64ever

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjtilzRZyi0

Arin and Danny reveal that they had not turned off their N64 in weeks. Holy cow. Must be that Nintendium! Not that I'd chance it! Danny was talking about other older consoles melting and that reminded me of someone saying that it happened to their Mega Drive after playing too much Mortal Kombat II.

They meet Saria and the Deku Tree Sprout and have some funny dialogue moments :)

After this they head to Death Mountain and milk a cow! They talk about the funny voice warm up exercises again while talking about their live show.

Would You Rather? Part 1 - Playmate Guest

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trrjIVaJzxY

The thumbnail for this has Suzy's cute kitty face happy and making a wink. She's joined by Pamela Horton for this series! I had no idea who this gal is before watching. She has the Gamer Next Door YouTube channel and is a Playboy Playmate. She talks about dressing as Bayonetta for Nintendo and Playboy.

Fun first question about both politics and religion. Hi-larious! The connection fails though and they go on to a different question about meat. I don't mind so yes I would kill the animal for the meat. I would live in a giant shoe rather than a giant peach.

I would rather barely hear people than be colour blind. I'd rather go down in history books too. I would rather steal the elderly woman's purse and give her the contents. Didn't say I couldn't give her back the contents!

I would rather take a shot of tabasco than the other option.

Pamela talks about her association with Playboy and it's pretty cool!

Dark Souls III Part 8 - Sympathy Versus Empathy

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4bqQDrXDio

Arin and Danny are thrilled that someone on Game of Thrones said he'd love to do something with Starbomb. Nice edit too with the "House Avidan" thing.

I like the voice Arin gives the weird gargoyle thingies that give them a lift and the rhyming mishearing of insults :) I also like their discussion of the difference between sympathy and empathy.

Then, while reciting the theme song  for "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", they discuss the difference between prince and fresh prince. Fun stuff :)

Hyper Light Drifter Part 4 - Swishy Dodging

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogXU45kF4WA

Ross and Barry manoeuvre around a crushy block puzzle and face more tricky enemies.

I like that there's fast travel in this game. The world is quite big. I quite like the look of the combat in this game too; part projectile, part melée and lots of dodge swishing like you'd find in the Metroidvania Castlevanias.


Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 34 - Avidan's List

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww75f1gRXYg

Arin and Danny arrange to watch some Godzilla films together. I am so freaking jealous right now! They also make a Kung Pow reference with the word "Badong".

While speaking of movies they talk about Schindler's List and Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs. Danny talks about Schindler's List and it's really sweet to hear him talk about it. I've never actually seen it myself. I ought to someday.

Caddyshack II as well. Danny talks about the film and the music in it. They talk about it being a depressing movie. I wanna add that it's not as depressing as the likes of Weekend at Bernie's II!

They get to the boss of the Forest Temple and beat the boss easily. Nice one Arin!

Hunie Cam Studio Part 4 - The Darker Side of Camming

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M_JVWynd8c

Suzy and Arin manage their camgirl ring more. Drugs and escorting are happening now... Yikes...

At least it's a video game and not happening for real I suppose. Now they have to deal with hazards like the girls getting sick. This game deals with some stuff!

Wednesday 13 April 2016

Super Mario Maker Part 102 - Patience Break

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cBDw68iaEM

Arin and Danny move on to "Pit of Panga: P-Break" by Panga. Is this the hardest level in all of Mario Maker? They're looking up a video of how to do it and they can't believe how hard it is. Arin makes a tiny bit of progress as he goes along though so it's hopeful!

Hope runs out by the end though and they say they might stream the whole thing being done. Hoo boy... it does look brutal.

Hyper Light Drifter Part 3 - Snowetry

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0Qz2sC754

Ross and Barry begin with a bit of prose in the snow and it's kind of pretty. Ross talks about how he couldn't believe it on hearing Steve Irwin's death by stingray. I couldn't believe it either and thought it was really sad. It's been about 10 years ago now...

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 33 - They'll Make It Eventually

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_kTRLXrnC4

Arin and Danny look for more keys. Danny does this amazing music trivia thing where he recites factoids in less than half a minute! Kind of cool!

It takes a bit of doing but Arin navigates his way forward! Makes you proud :)

They also make a Kung Pow reference where Ling says the "you're never make it never make it" line.

Yandere Simulator Part 5 - Parents on Tape

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3KCYjKkkpw

Suzy listens to an answering machine tape with creepy yandere girl conversations. I like the exchange she makes up for the two girls on the roof going out on a date! It's cute :)

Tuesday 12 April 2016

Super Mario Maker Part 101 - Game Grumps CX

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8sVes1NwIM

Arin and Danny move on to a level about a Japanese convenience store called Lawson, by a Japanese player with Japanese writing in their name. It seems to be just an interactive advert or logo tribute or something!

Anyway, they move on to "Bowser's Closet" by phil. Kind of a fun stage and they enjoy Mario hiding behind the block. Arin talks about Game Center CX for a bit and yeah I love that show! Love Arino as well.

They finish and move on to "Well that was easy" by Bodean. To see if it was as advertised I suppose!

Aaaaand it is! They then move on to another Japanese stage by RS. Seemingly impossible but just a cute level really. Wow, it's kind of crazy that neither Arin or Danny have seen Space Jam....

Hyper Light Drifter Part 2 - Prereleasing

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29bgEwzlGkI

Barry and Ross continue drifting. So it's a brand new game that's not quite out yet? Interesting to see how it'll be received.

It's kinda amusing when Ross got an email about this game releasing that night!

YoGo sounds nice. Don't have it here either.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 32 - Keys and Life Success

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trqiHBCyGEw

Arin and Danny are a little out of sorts, as Arin was stressing over the time start and Danny had eaten a bunch of stuff since the last episode. All that talk about grilled cheese sandwiches must've pushed them!

They figure stuff out in this dungeon, which I know so well how bewildering it can be! What's with the shortage of keys... They also discuss chasing your dreams, the aspect of it that sucks and about success and happiness. Interesting discussion to have now and again to figure out things that are important to you.

Hunie Cam Studio Part 3 - Arin's Budget Stress

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4YualuIjds

Arin and Suzy wish they could do voices in a Hunie Pop game!

Arin stresses over costs and debts and everything! I wonder if he's like this in business irl :)

It's pretty funny but it seems to be a decent experience about managing expenses and stuff.

Monday 11 April 2016

Hyper Light Drifter Part 1 - Is it Zeldalike?

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7XDnGmNTig

Barry and Ross take on this for a new series. Seems kinda nice and pixelly. Not really sure what the Obama Chaos Control thing is about.

But yeah the game has top down view and combat. Is it like Zelda? We'll see as it unwraps I suppose!

Super Mario Maker Part 100 - Waves, Bombs & Old Mafia Dudes Using Social Media

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtkj-ZEN-Co

100 episodes of torture! Arin and Danny move on to "Ride On 1-2" by Phill.

Very interesting use of the skull platform things for waves! Very cool experience seeing them intertwine and everything. Clever level Phill :)

They go on to "Bob-omb's Blast Barrage v2" by Phil. He's an animator that Arin's buddies with and he's made a nice simple block stage that has more than one way to solve it. It's pretty nice, challenge wise!

I like Arin and Danny's old mafia guy trying social media voices :)


Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 31 - Not Suitable For Hungry People

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkFIGgU1WjA

Arin and Danny are back at the start to get the key. OMG how many of us watching said "Oh heck yeah me too!" when Danny said he'd love a grilled cheese sandwich right now. I'm certainly one of them!

If that wasn't bad enough, Arin lays out just how to make a perfect one and goes on to describe other recipes. Be careful of drooling when watching this episode folks!

I can't really think of anything else! They get the bow and arrow and try to find some keys and talk a bit about Family Guy too and Marvin the Martian. Still can't stop thinking about Dan's grilled cheese sandwich!

Sunday 10 April 2016

Super Mario Maker Part 99 - Raiding the Lost Flower

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1V9gQeD8k4

Arin and Danny return to the torture! It's on to "The Curse of the Golden Flower" by Snugboat.

It's cool the way it does a 180 and makes you run back! Great execution and it makes Arin genuinely panic! Really great level made to look like an ancient temple full of traps!

Nice zoom on the tiny "good" that Arin wrote by Kevin there too!

Arin's obsessed with how the stage could be done in 11 seconds. Danny gives a little tribute to Phife Dog at the end slate and his untimely death. I have no idea about him myself but it's nice of Danny to say a few words.

Pokkén Tournament Part 2 - Is Smash Bros a Fighting Game?

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDmEN57mq7Q

Ross and Barry try Gengar and Chandelure. Not sure why Chandelure is in this game but it seems to have good limbs to fight with.

Of course Smash Bros is a fighting game guys! Whether it's good or not, it's still a fighting game.

That fox Pokémon is very leggy. Barry wins more rounds this time.

Best of Game Grumps - March 2016

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwuIgtugx28

Nice compilation of the laugh out loud moments, starting with that horse exclamation!

I like Danny's Deku Scrub voice. Really cute! :)

Arin's live action poo ninjitsu is here too. Funny stuff :)

I love that slumber party trailer so much! So funny hearing it again!

That brilliant meeting with Ocarina of Time Zelda is here too! The crab is there and her reaction to the name Slurmp.

The Stout Train crew is here too.

Arin's funny ranting and runting during the music swimming level in Mario Maker is here too.

The Ganondorf soup slurping joke is brilliant too! Love hearing that again!

Some other nice live action stuff too like the jump kick and Jack teaching Kevin how to pronounce Stout in his accent.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 30 - Follow Your Dreams

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naUSHNomgWU

Arin and Danny comment on the music of the Forest Temple, that it's some guy making sounds and it's kind of funny. I actually think this music is really unsettling! It sounds like there are voices telling me to "get out!" like it's some really freaky place to be!

Dan tells another funny dad story :)

They also talk about visiting old schools when successful and how you can't do that anymore. It's fascinating. I also remember my old teachers. I still see them!

Also, yeah I definitely had some teachers that weren't great and I like Arin and Danny's advice at the end :) Not so much about the giant hand though! Could you imagine a world without Metal Gear Awesome? That took some rebelling against the system!

Saturday 9 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 7 - Justin Timberlake Is Responsible For The Fedora Thing

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8iL4Vo8jmE

Arin and Danny return after levelling up a bit.

Arin reveals that Justin Timberlake started the whole fedora thing. I just gotta say wow!

Pokkén Tournament Part 1 - Pikachu Body Slam

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-i8GObhM-I

Barry and Ross take this brand new game on! Barry's pretty excited to perform the special Pikachu Libre move and it kind of looks cool.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 29 - Cunning Lingual Jokes

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD5VA1Nl1-k

Arin and Danny appear once more before the video to promote Game Grumps Live again. Yay :) I love Danny's slide across and Arin's excited rambling. I'm seeing lots of these videos! Must be something special :)

Arin and Danny begin the Forest Temple with a fun jam with Link's shield. Nice to start this place so lightly! It's a pretty unsettling place to me! Especially with the music!

The cunning lingual jokes put themselves in hysterics! It is quite funny alright! The alphabet huh? Hm...

Danny talks about the importance of washing hands. Very important and he's saving lives :)

It's great that they can do the block puzzle with the floor arrows without any trouble. I remember taking ages on it before! They talk about smokers having all the stories. Still not any reason to become one mind you! You can get just as many stories queueing for something.

Having company while this level is on is nice but the atmosphere is completely different when playing alone. Same with the other dungeons until now too.

Yandere Simulator Part 4 - Castlevania Parody

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGo1ug0JauY

Suzy plays an in-game game and there's one called Yanvania: Senpai of the Night! Nice parody :) Wow too! It looks like the real deal! Excellent amount of detail put into this game!

I like the nightime music. It is creepy but it has a nice atmosphere. Reminds me of the hub music in Nights Journey of Dreams on Wii.

She meets this weird girl on a laptop computer screen who seems to be an even crazier character.

Friday 8 April 2016

Dark Souls III Part 6 - Dogsplosion Fail

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wTLODKRJDE

Arin and Danny appear before the video advertising Game Grumps Live for the east Coast once again! Again, please record and broadcast this!

Arin and Danny attack a dog but it backfires! Badly! Towards the end of the episode they're chased by a huge beastie and Arin takes a break from the screaming to do elevator music! Great stuff :)

Rad Gravity Part 6 - The Slime Destroyer Thingy

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItcAU_c6uao

Brian and Arin continue to try to figure stuff out. I love the Eureka moment where they figure out some kind of slime destroyer or something.

They have some progression and some setbacks too. This game looks pretty unpleasant in its difficulty...


Ghost Sharks - By Carl Doonan

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6TmAZXuvUc

This cartoon's inspired by one of Danny's many brilliant routines of the captain from Endless Ocean 2! This one's about the hammerhead sharks and this animation makes for a very nice companion piece. Hearing Danny's lines again still makes me laugh! The "Shark Startler" and everything!

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 28 - Bombin' Moblins

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbFmQ31iRK4

Arin and Danny start a new session. They meet Mido in the Lost Woods and play the song to get past him.

The meeting with the Moblins (I think they're moblins) is as eventful as you could expect! They take care of them with some bombs though! Didn't know bombs could be used! I usually use the hookshot! Pierre the scarecrow can be summoned at the start too so you can skip this part. Very handy. Not as fun as using bombs though!

They meet Sheik again and go into the Forest Temple. Dan tells this funny thing about ATMs that charge for usage and then play a casino slot machine chime. It's pretty funny :)

Hunie Cam Studio Part 2 - Smoking Leeches

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUBcCfkI4II

Suzy and Arin do some more clicking and investing. The smokers are draining all the resources! Bleh! Arin gets all stressed about it. It's funny :)

Dark Souls III Part 5 - Deadfool

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-yErbPIaL4

Arin and Danny meet some weird humanoid thingies that are hostile. They talk about food, especially Southern food.

Danny recommends the Deadpool movie and I do too! It's a great movie :)

They talk about engagement rings and about girls trying to outdo their friends at having weddings at the same time

Rad Gravity Part 5 - Slime and Jet Skis

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x507vK_Bv6Q

Arin and Danny appear before the video with another infomercial about Game Grumps Live! on the east coast.

Arin and Brian do the reverse gravity planet for a while and then go to a different one on dying. One with farm animals and a jet ski. Some bit of figuring out to do here. Both places are confusing with the slime too.

Tiny bit of an outtake of the live action stuff from earlier too which is a nice bonus :)

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 27 - Deceases Pieces

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg0C1XCADag

Arin and Danny start the race with the ghostly Dampé. I love the Reese's Pieces joke :)

Then they meet the windmill guy who talks about the song that hasn't been played yet that ruined the windmill. They talk about a time loop and Danny makes a reference to Bruce Willis in Looper not wanting to explain the time travel thing. I freaking LOVE that moment! I love that movie too! SO much!

By the way, they forgot to learn the song! Gah! They also forgot to cheer up the pocket cucco. Danny was saying he laughed to himself at 3am in the morning because he remembered a funny line they had in another playthrough. I love remembering jokes in the middle of the night! Laughing myself awake. It's great :D

They go into Lon Lon Ranch at this weird point where it's still bright, but the night version of the area is there! It's kind of surreal!

They eventually get Epona and ride her across Hyrule Field! Yay!

Yandere Simulator Part 2 - Find My Bra!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=228s42k0wkg

Suzy looks for a girl's bra in this episode. Yay for side quests!

She chats with more girls on the roof and does a cliffhanger where she's about to find her quarry! Dun dun dunn!

Dark Souls III Part 4 - Realistic Cannibox

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5kSJA56PqE

Arin and Danny go into an area with a big devastating dragon that sets fire to everything. They take cover in a place with a treasure chest.

But this treasure chest is like a Mimic! Or a Cannibox from Dragon Quest with its teeth and tongue. This one though has gangly limbs so it's pretty freaky looking in itself. It starts following them out to the dragon and Arin's freaking out but they make it through safe!

Later on they make fun of the dead petrified dragon's head.

Rad Gravity Part 4 - Stargates and Actual Rad Gravity

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-nuRJ94DIE

Arin and Brian warp to another planet, Volcania. There's a block with a space too small to fit through, so it's on to Sauria. It's got dinosaurs but it's too tough so they go to Turvia. Turvia's pretty unsettling with the huge sky at the bottom!

They spend a good bit of time trying to suss the pattern of the flying fish. It's pretty tough looking. They manage to suss a bit more by jumping through trees. Things are getting interesting! Slow but steady!

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 26 - Lovely Hyrule Night time

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc4KTJPJ9t8

Danny and Arin appear live before the video and talk about the live show they did recently! I'd love to see them live on stage! They're doing another live show on the east coast so yeah, that'll be a cool thing :)
It's still a bit far for me of course but they're selling tickets on levitylive.com. I'd love to see a recording of this!

Arin and Danny go to Lon Lon Ranch on a lovely sunset evening. When they meet Ingo they talk about dastardly characters with curly mustaches tying women to train tracks. Lovely evening for such a hangouty conversation!

I don't blame Arin for trying to get Epona. For some reason you have to go into the corral twice to get the race. It's always that way for me anyway.

They don't get Epona but reunite with Malon and also the house to see the three magical chickens, reminiscing on their childhood Link memories. Ahhh! :)

They go out into nighttime Hyrule Field and wonder where the enemies are. The atmosphere still grabs me here! and it feels so good to share it with Arin and Danny!

They're looking for rupees for the horse race. They end up going to Dampé's grave because they want to show progress. I like them hanging around in this game and chatting though :)

Hunie Cam Studio Part 1 - Cam Girl Ring

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkOcRm6XKU0

Suzy does this new game with Arin! The thumbnail shows them looking a bit frowny at what's going on on the screen. It would be funny if future episodes had them with faces of approval and thumbs up and everything!

The girls here are all chibified versions of their Hunie Pop selves. It's like a Cookie Clicker kind of thing and they're getting into it. "Aw! We have our own cam girl operation!" Suzy says, which is funny! :)

Dark Souls III Part 3 - Petrified Dragon

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZPjc3oZbhs

Arin and Danny find some cool stuff in this episode, like that lifelike tree and the petrified dragon. Looks pretty cool.

They make a reference to Silent Hill too and talk about a real life town on which it is based with its constant coal fires. Wouldn't like to go there!

Rad Gravity Part 3 - Stolen Robot

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnw9nUTzjYs

Brian and Arin continue being gravitational. They talk a lot of science physicsy talk. It's that type of Grumps again! :) goody!

The game gets pretty interesting when the computer gets taken away! Then they see all this stuff happen and these ghost flap things that are like Metroids.

They're starting to have a lot of fun now!

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 25 - Danny the Dinosaur King

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7VM5emjcGo

Arin and a delirious Danny continue into Kakariko Village as instructed by Sheik. Get well soon Dan!

What the heck is that weird text box glitch?! I've never seen that in the game before. Is this just in the American version?

They do the archery game, but since they don't have the bow and arrows yet, they get a purple rupee as a prize.

They meet the cucco lady and are both charmed and weirded out by her at the same time. Fun stuff :)

Danny talks about a game he made up with his friend when they were kids, which was just about throwing stuff at each other and involving dinosaurs. Sounds great :)

They look around in the graveyard but don't find Dampé's grave yet. Better luck next episode :)

Yandere Simulator Part 2 - Just My Period!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjvSuUjjkYo

Suzy has to sacrifice a bunch of students to get evil powers. It's funny when she says "I got my period ok?" when she tells fellow students to stop staring at her blood soaked shirt.

Dark Souls III Part 2 - An Incredible Spoiler

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3xlGEvQqVQ

Arin and Danny Darken more Souls.

Arin unwittingly spoils Homeward Bound, but it's ok! I haven't seen it but I'll probably forget.  Omg though that was perfect timing with the skeleton dog a moment later!

Arin has a cool Evel Kenievel joke at the end!

Rad Gravity Part 2 - EPROMs World

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUXK_Uaczyc

Arin and Brian continue being rad. Well, they're coping with the game really. They eventually make it inside a computer though and the game changes to avoiding electric bolts.

They have a lot more fun then and the game kind of grows on them!

Yikes!

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 24 - Harmacy

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDdw0d7q8hw

Arin and Danny meet Sheik! Arin calls him a "he" as well! Woo! The dialogue is funny as you can expect.

I love Danny's reaction to the future of Hyrule when they step out of the Temple of Time. They explore the devastation and meet the ghost shop guy. That break out into the YMCA song and it's really well matched with the dialogue! Very nice improv there :)

Arin heads to Kokiri Forest before Kakariko. Whoops...

Anyway, the Harry Caray Will Ferrell spoof is brilliant! I love those routines!

Nice harmacy joke there too Danny :) get well soon!

Dark Souls III Part 1 - Pie Romancer

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk2wuSJOjCs

Arin and Danny begin another one of these popular hard games! Will this be as long as Bloodborne? Let's see!

They spend a little bit on character creation. I like the idea of burly upper body female! *swoon!*

Arin spends a little time explaining the difference between Dark Souls and Bloodborne. I love Danny's Pie-Romancer joke here! :)

That crystal encrusted enemy was a little too awesome!

Danny's kinda stunned that 1986 was 30 years ago... Yeah, it can be stunning alright :/ it can be...

Rad Gravity Part 1 - Bruce Campbell

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEpMnZdzAfo

Brian and Arin, together at last! Did they do one together alone before? I'm not sure. But anyway, here's Rad Gravity! They're kind of startled to see how he looks like Bruce Campbell. Must be the chin!

Brian talks about space stuff! yay :3

I'm more familiar with Arin's pronunciation of homogeneous.

They see what looks like a Harry Potter character. That guy with the space nunchucks makes me think of the guy from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure that appears in the phone box.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 23 - Ramhar-u more like

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z67vpQQ1Nqs

Arin and Danny retrieve the Ocarina of Time and make funny voices for Zelda again and head to the Temple of Time to do the business!

Omg, when they said Ocarina was the fourth Zelda I screamed internally! They weren't that sure though. Link's Awakening is my first and favourite! Also, because I read a lot of game magazines in the 90s, I usually call this game Zelda 5.

I like the idea of Rauru being an older guy trying to get back into the dating scene and being a single dad to Link!

Rauru sounds a bit like "ramhar", which is Irish for describing a fat person. It may have been unintentional, but when I was 15 I was dying to know if it was connected somehow.

Zelda Skyward Sword Part 2 - Grump Gauge, NO Cooldown!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS2MGo366Yw

Arin and Danny continue and the topic of the stamina bar comes up. I'm 100% with Arin on this one and that's NO JOKE! I don't like "cooldown periods" in games. Zelda's supposed to be fast and arcadey but this aspect isn't. It links stamina fruit along a path so you can get some kind of "combo" but that's just busywork really.

Arin is very Grump towards this game in this episode! Hoo! Nice to hear that they're gonna be playing it for reals too someday! Yay! :)

But oh, is it worth watching! Wow! At the end when Danny rests his head, Arin rests his as well and Zelda starts singing a lulling melody just as they do. That was perfect timing!

The endslate is voiceless but it looks like Arin is accusing Dan of farting, to which he profusely denies. This was a brilliant April Fool's Day with the Grumps! Well done guys! :)

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Jirard the Megadriver

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo-__AcDz70

We join Jirard and Ross for the April 1st episode of Grumpcade! The first to have face cam too!

I love the fact that Jirard is using a SNES controller! Technically and officially, this is possible because they could be playing the Wii Virtual Console version of Sonic 2 and using the special SNES Classic Controller that was available in the Club Nintendo Stars Catalogue for a short time. Sadly it's gone along with Club Nintendo itself. Actually I'm not sure if this was done in the American Club Nintendo, but then again, Ross is Australian, so he could've gotten it from his Club Nintendo since it was available there too.

Check out the amazing one handed playing skill on Jirard! That is a highly rare and valuable skill to have. Think of the possibilities!

WAIT! That's an American SNES controller! The investigation isn't over after all!

Ross is in glee being able to dance and make Arin faces. He also talks about going back home and explaining what he does for a living which was kind of awkward for him. Fun story though!

It was a cool idea for an April 1st episode :) I like how they have a piece of paper put back there that doesn't reflect a thing too!

Zelda Skyward Sword Part 1 - Face Cam At Last

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xni3HQ_nzSc

Arin and Danny go LIVE for their April 1st session of Skyward Sword! Their own faces in the intro and everything! Awesome! :)

We get to see Arin's belly cam and Danny's fake jacking off cam too. Lots of fun to be had in this episode and they talk about ASMR too! Woo!

I like the end slate too and how you can still see the game in the reflection behind them!

KittyKatASMR Polygrumps Fanfiction Reading, Stout Ninja Train! - Headphones For Best Results!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRCxI_ZZHhk

I'm using two new labels today, "April 1st Special" because the Grump April 1st videos are amazing and "ASMR", because I WANT THIS TO BE A TREND! YOU DO ONE NEXT ROSS!

*Ahem...* Just think! Brian could do one about Math or.... ASMathR(sorry) and Mochi and Mimi could just purr... they could all do one!"

Back to Suzy. She is excellent in this video and has a calm yet vivacious catgirl demeanour. It makes you feel so much yummier(to quote Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman) on hearing it. In this video, she reads out fanfiction by Keztion featuring some of the Grumps and it's kinda steamy! Not explicit but, the makings of it are there!

Oh and use stereo headphones for the best effect! It's fun and lovely!

Also, excellent placeholder image art by AmphyPop! Very well suited too!

Super Mario Maker Part 98 - Difficile!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftazj9wXw9g

Arin and Danny continue "Goal Keeper (stop everything)" by Nevakee. They discover they can deflect a shell with a helmet! I didn't know that either! It's pretty cool :)

I love the "difficile!" exclamations during the insane shell part. It was satisfying to see them finish it.

Arin's looking forward to Dark Souls 3. Future playthrough guaranteed!

They move on to "Peppermint Pipeships" by The Berg.

They talk about hotel shampoos and peppermint. Nice green pipe colours throughout :)

Carnival Games Mini Golf Part 3 - Eggbreakers

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HN1doBBF_U

Suzy and Brian mini-golf some more! The barnyard reminds them of Chicken Run and they talk about some Aardman animations for a few moments. Love those, they're great :)

There's a lot of eggbreaking here. Timely for Easter I suppose, though it just finished!

At My Most Vulnerable Moment - by K7vin

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdyvV2tqsG4

Very happy to see more of these with Barry and Ross! This is inspired by their Undertale genocide run and it's freaking amazing!

This must've been a challenging and exciting project! Ross is absolutely PERFECT as Flowey and poor Barry! His anguish is perfectly captured too! Not to mention Toriel's painful speech Very well done cartoon!

Zelda Ocarina of Time Part 22 - Polish Pole Polishing

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyU9StZO7hc

Arin and Danny talk about doing Grumps Live on March 30th. Hopefully Danny's well now! They go into the Great Fairy's Fountain. Danny talks about this horrific thing that happened while on a plane with the air pressure and being sick. His ears started bleeding and everything! Must've been scary!

That "Polish pole polishing" joke is amazing! Well improv'd, Arin! Then there's the exchange with Ganondorf, which is fun and even has the crab from Zelda's dream!

Yandere Simulator Part 1 - Hellooo nurse!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UCaleSbUic

Suzy takes this game on. It's pretty popular nowadays... The thumbnail has her avatar with a freaked out face. What's this gonna be like?

She makes the guy look like Arin! So yeah it's textbook yandere! Never been into the yanderes or the tsunderes I gotta say. They're not nice.

I like the part where she goes "Hellooo nurse!" :)

She's surprised the school has an occult club. I think some Japanese schools do... at least in anime anyway. They just like the mythology and stuff I think.
