GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 16 - NINJA BRIAN'S COURSE

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S57Md-RycA

Arin and Danny do Ninja Brian....'s course. Of course!

Wow the hole with the shooting gallery or pinball/pachinko style look is a great idea! Makes you think of the game differently! That chip in shot Arin did was amazing :)

He lands another amazing one on the next hole! He's in the lead :) fun stage too with icy watery antics going on.

They reckon since it's Ninja Brian's course maybe the ninja skills are taking all the good shots away from Danny!

EARTHBOUND PART 14 - DICK ANDONUTS

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

Barry and Ross wander around Threed for the first time. Even though it was for a day, you do notice a gap in EarthBound episodes... and even if you're marathoning episodes, the gap makes it so that there are so many extra other videos between episodes to watch... First world dilemma! :P

Omg that edit of Mr Wilson when they get surrounded! Very nicely done :D

Pallf's voice is back and it's time to contact Jeff, who they've named Dick in this playthrough. Giggleworthy at every mention!

Now they're playing as Dick and his friend Tony. Different characters, different perspective and they have to meet with the others to rescue them. Ross is quite charmed by this! It is pretty clever alright :) Mother 3 has a thing like this too and of course, Dragon Quest IV was likely the main inspiration and is an excellent example of it in practice too!

Hehe, they give the other boys in the dorm Canadian accents :)

Oh that's cruel of them with the cookies!

OMG... Dick Andonuts. Holy toledo... and it was Ross who named him dick so he didn't know!

AMERICAN ACCENT - BY JAMES CUNNINGHAM

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

This cartoon's inspired from when Jacob Anderson aka Raleigh Ritchie was on the show and did the awesome accent thing they wanted to open with. It was pretty funny and nicely animated in this cartoon! In this they have Jacob scaring American people with his cowboy hat and strange accent being filtered multiple times.

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 28 - SHOPPING AROUND

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7sOk14UbDI

Arin is amazed at Danny's episode counting abilities. He's correct about this one!

Back on the road trip and they impress Emily with their W turns! Those bees are still around and in the car.

Check out those vegetable graphics at the store :) and that "How to raise vegetables to be able to easily make" sign.

Carol gives them 19 dollars to leave her alone. Funny :)

That car wash was the best thing in the game so far alright :)

Sinner's sandwich? Sandwich Of Penance? Wow... The diner scene is pretty crazy, especially with them not sitting on the stools properly.


NEWBORN KITTEN CARE & MORE - MORE FROZEN DENTISTRY

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O88Gohgtk4

Suzy, Cory and Barry play more phone games! Thank you again SuperMega for handling the ads :) not many this time though.

The kitten game doesn't last long at all so it's right onto Elsa At The Dentist. Her mouth is in awful shape and she's crying and everything. It looks horrifying! It sounds horrifying too with the drills and everything.

She still looks scary with her new teeth... but at least she's not crying in pain anymore. Yay :)

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 15 - WATER SWITCHING

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AteXYiFchU4

Arin and Danny play a stage where they have to launch into the air via zippers to a different platform.

Arin talks about the Richard Dreyfuss movie where he has a deaf son.

Aw chin up Arin... you've been doing well in the last few holes...

That was pretty funny going back and forth on that water switch :)

Poor Arin again... Danny wins this course! Burgie champion!

CLUSTERTRUCK - ESCAPE FROM RUSH HOUR

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3tGRaDVeoI

Ross and Barry play this cool game about jumping across moving truck roofs!

There are so many brilliant jokes and one liners in this episode and poor Ross rages a lot!

I checked out that yesyesyesno subreddit and it's a pretty good concept :)

Barry even has a few goes near the end. Pretty aggravating game I'd say! You'd think it'd be fun like a train level but no it's one of those extreme skill difficulty games. Complete with score table cheaters :(

Still, as a concept it is attractive at least, and jumping from truck to truck is probably something you'd dream of while stuck in traffic.

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 27 - NO BEES ALLOWED

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

Arin and Danny continue to have bees flying around them.

They go into the gallery and it's really funny when the doorman character they come up says "no bees allowed" and Danny does a dejected buzzing sound. Aw :)

Wow this art gallery is enormous and maze like...

They're about to give up hope when they find the map in the maze like menu system. :P

The second best part of the episode was at the end, where they started talking to the static image of the main character with the dog :)

NARUTO ONLINE - COLOURFUL DIABLO

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmmHOfODF9Q

Suzy was asked to play this game. She was a big Naruto fan growing up she says... I remember when Naruto was new as well but I was already grown up... Hm.... :/ Ah well. I never watched it myself though.

This looks like a standard online browser or PC game, but a whole lot prettier and more colourful than the standard one. It's got the Diablo perspective and you interact and battle with characters from the anime.

She seems to enjoy it anyway and the game seems like a good fan thing to enjoy if you are a fan.

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 14 - A SMELLY ROOM TO SIT IN

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UPG25CGHko

Arin and Danny do some whispery beat bopping. The springy pads on opposing slopes look like they'll make them bounce forever...

Arin talks about a show idea he had years ago called "Hard Mode".

Aw! That shot Arin took would've been something amazing if he sunk it! Using the bouncy pads too would've brought an amazing feeling if he pulled it off... I think we all wanted it to happen...

Danny's back to getting 5s.

"A smelly room to sit in!". Oh Arin! Great bit of self-deprecating humour there! :)

Huh... never knew that about the word nauseous.

EARTHBOUND PART 13 - RUNAWAY FIVE LIVE

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7POz--lVlY

Barry and Ross did some more levelling :/ ah well. I guess it's true the dungeons aren't that interesting, but when dungeons are like mazes and there are random encounters all the time it can be very disorienting.

Hey, SuperMega didn't put up a map like Barry asked :(

They face Mondo Mole and defeat it handily enough. The amount of buffs it was doing was getting kinda scary though.

No problem I can explain! Lilliput is the name of the land in Gulliver's Travels that had all the tiny people.

Aw the Mighty Bear looks too nice to be an enemy :) then again, I guess bears in real life can be cute too. They give it a nice friendly voice :)

They backtrack to Twoson and go to the Runaway Five show. Barry does the show business dialogue stuff really well :)

They make it to Threed! I always loved the bus driving sequence with the music :)

This Let's Play is turning out really well!

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 26 - OMG BEES CAN ANYONE SEE?

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqobLhv7ml4

Arin and Danny complete a scene by watching a woman with high heels walk out of a car.

Wow, the main character has a beard now.

Hmm... this scene with the red leaf filled floor and trees all around with some doors reminds me of the hub in NiGHTS Journey Of Dreams.

Arin's so distracted by this he thinks the episode has finished already!

Yeesh... the hotel is full of bees.

Forrest Kaysen is the next guy they meet but they nickname him dogbutt because of the doggie decoration on his pants. The bees are pretty distracting!

Aw... no pizza but plenty of cherry pie :(

Yeah... how come no one is talking about the freaking bees?!

Oh, so the bees are like a status effect or something. Just like the beard too maybe?

PRINCESS PREGNANT DRESS UP - FROZEN WITH ADS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4KMmCnDwsc

Suzy has Barry and Cory along again to play another free-to-play mobile game.

Ah that's very considerate of them to cover up the game's ads :)

You know... at first I thought the title had "pageant" in the title rather than "pregnant". The title of this game is just a bunch of search result buzz terms...

Kitty Kat Waiting is a good idea :)

"Elsa game"... you know, Frozen is still really popular. They still make Frozen cereal and Frozen cupcakes.

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 13 - ARIN BOUNCING BACK

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

Arin and Danny start off talking like Lumpy Space Princess. It is nice the way Danny calls the energy units beans :)

Wow, melon water, cucumber soda... crazy soft drinks... never heard of Bubble Up either.

They have some pretty strange dreams. Looks like Suzy or something with a mask?

Wow, nice streak of 5s by Danny :)

Wow, every one of those zippers in the next hole just sends them flying right off the course!

Nice! Arin finally got more points on a hole :) been too long! Danny loses his 5 streak though...

EARTHBOUND PART 12 - THEY BLUE IT

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

Barry and Ross try to make a cool intro to the final boss of the Blue cult thing but they "blue" it :)

Oh it's that statue that X. Agerate was digging up...

Ah Mr. Carpainter does look like a dyed Colonel Sanders...

Ah yes, the amazing Franklin Badge...

It's so awesome the way the big hall was cleared of all the cultists and it's just a few stragglers left thinking about going home :)

Ahahaha, grinding joke about Pallf! Ross keeps the Meowth voice for her and the same voice for Splot's Mom too!

They decide to do the next dungeon on the next episode. Last time I played this game I actually forgot about this dungeon until near the end of the game...

They head back to Twoson and to the Chaos Theatre. They talk about references to Smash Bros and about Mother 3 a little bit... Yeah I'd like to see Mother 3 get released over here too alright...

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 25 - COSY CAFÉ

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO7k8u2jox0

Arin and Danny try to decide whether it was the turkey sandwich or the country ham that did the murder.

They go to the diner. It's a cosy looking place :) but why sit at different booths? One seems big enough for all four of the characters.

I don't think there's a Deadly Premonition 2...

They find another car while it's raining and make another road trip, talking about movies again during the trip.

Later on the main character is talking to himself or Zach, piecing together the case while in bed. This game is getting thick and boggy with questions.

SNOWMAN IN SUMMER - TOTALLY ORIGINAL FROM OLAF DO NOT STEAL

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txk4uK1fvkA

Suzy's joined by Barry and Cory today for this game that's totally not about Olaf! Haven't seen Cory in ages... The last time we saw him in a video was Costume Quest 2 last Halloween!

Wow this is weird. This snowman has boils. What sense does it make? He's made outta snow!

Well it's an accurate depiction of a mobile game with the ads appearing!

That's funny the way Barry and Cory argue about these characters being Olaf's cousins! Imagine Elsa and Anna coming up with OCs (do not steal)!

Ah cool, Ross' Steam Train hat appears :)

The idea of washing a snowman sounds kinda strange...

Yikes, it's also a free to play game with microtransactions! Yeesh!

Monday 26 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 12 - TIL ABOUT BISCOFF

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE1Bn7HZj_8

Arin and Danny talk about a really funny guy Arin knows.

Hm... I will straight up tell people I don't drink. I don't care if it's cool or not.

Very entertaining exchange where Arin's trying to remember Biscoffs. I've never heard of that brand before now. I looked up the "OMG BISCOFF SPREAD" video and it's brilliant :) what crazy teeth those puppets have! Their psychological montage thing is clever too.

Aw Arin! You have comedy :) loads!

OOo! Metal Gear Awesome 5! We heard it here first! :D Grumpsclusive!

Very nice sink into the hole on the slope!

Arin runs off to take a dump so Danny has a nice little chat with us at the end slate. I'm doing ok Dan! I've got a bit of a cold but... pizza?! Count me in!

EARTHBOUND PART 11 - ESCARGIPLIER

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr7hhEzhltI

Barry and Ross do a nighttime radio interview where Barry as the guest talks about the creepy shack in the woods, which can be seen from the cliff they're standing on in the game.

They come across the village and many insane cultists, some hostile and some that they just fight like any other enemy in the game.

I didn't know Shovel Knight was reverse localised for the Japanese release! That's pretty funny :) they should make that available here in the form of a "romhack".

They ring their mom and Ross' East European/Russian accent comes back!

They can now call the Escargo Express courier and they observe how he has a pinkish mustache, so he's immediately given a Markiplier voice! It's Escargiplier :)

Yes that's right, the cult is all about Eiffel 65!

Ross gives Pallf a voice that's very much like Meowth after being blasted off again at the end of a Pokémon episode. Pokey then shows up! Grr!

I like the impression Ross does of Bob Ross while they're going through the main cultist house.

In one battle the enemies keep asking for help. This happens a lot in Dragon Quest games too. I always wondered how many enemies can be summoned and what happens after "enemy Z" is summoned?

Ah the homesickness status effect comes on! Hopefully Barry will call Mom next.

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 24 - MEETING THE TOWN COMMUNITY

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOr1cpoZ45g

Arin and Danny finally make it to the suspect!

Very funny the way they tell the woman to watch out for the giant spinning medal :)

Ah so this community centre used to be a theatre. That... kinda explains why it's so huge.

Gina The Rose... wow.

The pot lady is pretty weird, even for this game.

The gun store owner sells lollipops... does Bayonetta shop there?

Wow, Keith has a habit with his finger that's even wackier than the main character's. Seeing them talk to one another is like some wacky finger waving convention or something.

Wow again for Gina. She walks like she's from Space Channel 5.

The screeching trumpet does add a weird atmosphere. By the way, I just remembered that to "trump" in British English means to fart. I don't know if anyone mentioned that in recent times...

Sunday 25 September 2016

LOVE US, WENDY'S! - GRUMPOUT

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xObE_glw3Yg

Arin gets a letter from Wendy's which sets him on a journey to Columbus, Ohio for a Wendy's event! Brent and Vernon are there too.

Holy guacamole, the crowd... So many Lovelies! I'm proud! Someday I'd like to try Wendy's too. Not sure how but we'll see.

Love the rap song Arin made over the video and the John Cusack 80s movie reference with the raised boombox. I saw that on their Instagram and it was so awesome :)

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 11 - DANNY DIDN'T WIN... BY TOO MUCH

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN3fvhne0b8

Arin, Arin and Arin appear before the video to give a promo about Audible.com's audiobooks. It's pretty cool - three Arins in one go! Love the unmasking twist as well :)

Arin and Danny begin with a Kung Pow reference! "That's a lotta crotch!" when they discuss tight pants vs harem pants.

Ooo... tricky place for the sun/moon panel surrounded by spikes.

Yes that's a Waddle Doo :)

I guess it's a nice consolation for Arin to get the extra point on this one and to fly off in the star giving the finger :)

So ends Kevin+Barry's course... it plays a BGM of "Why I Cry" by NSP at the final scorecard too, so that's nice :)

They move on to the Burgie course. Something weird about the first hole but I can't quite put my finger on it... Some perspective thing?

Very interesting discussion about droopy nuts at the end! Very unfortunate star loss for Arin too!

EARTHBOUND PART 10 - NOT SO PEACEFUL REST VALLEY

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9eiajEiUq0

Barry and Ross take the regular bus to Threed but it gets turned back. Barry just wanted to show that off and good on him :) it's a good moment. They head towards the Happy Happy Village

Foiled by Mobile Sprouts :) nice choice of words Ross!

"What's the draw with that pencil?" Ross then says at the pencil statue. He's on fire with the jokes :)

Apple Kid came up with the goods! A pencil eraser!

But on an emulator you can just remap the keys... ah well.

Exploding trees in RPGs... that's a regular thing isn't it? Like Mimics? I'm trying to remember if Dragon Quest had exploding trees. I never usually ran away from the trees. Those diamond prism shaped enemies always looked terrifying though!

Never knew about the regenerating butterfly trick! That'll be pretty handy in future :)


DEADLY PREMONITION PART 23 - HARSH BROWNS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWUY7PvC47c

Before the video there's a promo for the new GrumpOut video about Arin's mission of love to Wendy's! Gotta see it :) SuperMega voices the exciting trailer.

Arin and Danny talk to Thomas, the weird guy from the police station.

They meet another weird guy. A weird actor guy this time.

They talk to a couple of cowboys as well. Totally straight ones too. Totally.

Hehe, "Harsh Browns" :)

They chat with the kinda cute nurse too.

Lovely Kung Pow reference when Arin says "my finger points!"

Interesting explanation Danny has for the "Raincoat Killer" :)

They meet Olivia.

That slow walk to the suspect is pretty funny! They have to call the episode it's taking so long!

Saturday 24 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 10 - PREDETERMINED

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdiAkDM3Ppc

Arin and Danny appear before the video for another Game Grumps Live! promo! Danny puts up his hair and calls himself a naughty cockatiel and everything! That's a funny bit at the end where Danny reveals a secret that's not real. Hahaha.

Arin and Danny continue to play despite Arin's seething rage!

They add "precalculate" to the "I'm gonna pree" joke and it's pretty funny :)

Danny gets more points on the next hole too so Arin is no less ragesome!

Very erratic terrain on one of the courses. Arin tells a funny story about a censored lyric from a song on the radio and saying to his dad "the context makes sense!". Imagine hearing that from a little kid! Funny :)

Poor Arin... he just goes "noooo... noooo" like a lost cat. Oh man it's hopeless now... Poor guy!

EARTHBOUND PART 9 - APPLES AND ORANGES

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

Barry and Ross meet the Orange Kid and Apple Kid. Ah that's cool! The Apple kid does look like he has a Grump face!

Barry asks Ross' opinion on who to give money to and Ross favours Apple Kid! Very interesting :)

They talk about YouTube's crazy new YouTube Heroes system they have in place about crowd moderating stuff. They also talk about ideas YouTube could do. The suggestion about subtitles is a great one :)

A guy on a roof jumps down and attacks! But then he hurt his ankle so it's ok. He tells them what happened to Pallf.

They visit the store and learn about weird the Happy Village religion. They then set off towards there at the end of the episode.

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 22 - THE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwn6HfjY7YA

Oh! No message from SuperMega! It's a new playthrough and the audio is back! Hooray! :)

Arin and Danny eat a lot of turkey sandwich and go on the road again.

I looked up Saltines and Melba Toast. They sound nice enough...

They end up walking along the road without a car and they say this is pretty realistic to the pain of travelling in real life!

Wow that's some swanky community centre...

Carol MacLaine is introduced.

Wow that is funny and uncanny the way those four guys on the right look almost exactly the same! Save for the guy with the hat of course!

Yeah this community centre is huge and sounds like a nice place to go enjoy an event like a panel at an anime convention or something.

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF PART 3 - MUSEUM COLLECTION

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J2F08j3AAI

Suzy shows off another one of her houses. Some trophies for interior decoration too! She's pretty good at this :)

Nice KittyKatGaming spray in the sand :)

Hmm... I don't think the update has arrived yet...

Ah so she loves every bug except ants. Same here :/ well... I don't love every other bug. I should get back into collecting museum stuff and finish off my collections too...

Oh cool, the capture thing showed the bottom screen for a moment as an inset. Or maybe that was the video editing?

Anyway, nice tour :)

Friday 23 September 2016

POKÉMON ART ACADEMY GALLERY - GRUMPOUT

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P3CGYkVPfA

Yes! It's the brilliant gallery exhibition where they took the gag about Suzy being the artist to a whole new level! Suzy's the flamboyant artist, Barry and Ross(psst the real artists) are just waiters, Arin's the eccentric billionaire... what a great idea! I saw a version of this on Holly's channel but I didn't see Brian as the famous art critic work his magic like he's doing here.

Barry's brother Alex appears too and it's fun trying to see him interact with his brother while he's in character! There's Jack looking dapper and offering his own classy analysis. I'm pretty certain that's Chris being a jerk and Vernon and Brent make an appearance too.

Such a great idea for a live event and they pulled it off so well. I love these guys :)

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 9 - STEVE LICHMAN IS A BRILLIANT COMIC!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx783dQaZ5Q

Arin and Danny appear before the episode in another promo about Game Grumps Live! They're only addressing Real Doll owners though... like Vernon! Vernon responds by shaking the camera side to side as he's filming this! Omg this promo is long and so funny! Love when Danny says "lovely fan butts" and they way they go on to describe more delicious show times. Great promo and there's more to come! Yay!

Arin and Danny begin with one of Danny's all time classic quotes, this one from 2016!

Ah, nice pattern for the trampoline things in the shape of GG for Game Grumps :)

Danny gives a shout-out to a comic called Steve Lichman by Dave Rapoza and Dan Warren. I know the monster "Lich" from games like Final Fantasy and Mystic Quest/Final Fantasy Adventure. I paused the video to check it out and there's a preview for the comic. I read the whole 60 page preview and it is freaking amazing :) such a clever idea! Thanks for the recommendation Danny!

By the way, the vampire and Lich are bosses in the same dungeon from Final Fantasy... is that a coincidence? Actually, one amazing coincidence is that I recently played through that dungeon in the game! I talked about it in my video game diary blog, which you can check out on my Blogger profile!

Poor Danny trying to hit that sun/moon switch! All the while Arin cleans up around the board with the enemies but then has almost as much trouble! But then, Danny's big risk pays off and... hoo boy! There is seething! Much seething!

EARTHBOUND PART 8 - TO TWOSON!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO4-Bd2wiNk

Barry and Ross announce a lengthening of episodes for the EarthBound playthrough! Yay! Such cool dedication you guys :) the thumbnail says "now TWICE as long!"

Ah that's cool the way they do an impression of the fence guy from Home Improvement!

Next up is facing all of Chief Strong's police force. Things go pretty well and now they can go to Twoson.

Wow, that DMV story Ross had... yikes! That lady who served him was as slow-witted as the sloths in Zootropolis! Don't they know he's the coolest thing?

They reach the exit mouse house and get collapsed by a mushroom! Also, Barry was carrying money at the time! Nooooooo! Keep it in the bank, Barry! That's like Dragon Quest 101 right there!

Whoa! I had to rewind when they stayed a night at the hotel. Someone edited in Zelda 1 Link walking through the door and back out!

Oh! I never made that "Punk-Sure"/puncture connection when I played! Wow! This commentary companion thing proves again that it adds something to my enjoyment of a game :)

Next up is looking for Pallf in Twoson.

GET A GUN - BY CASSIDY STONE

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7NF2XAtKug

Wow, beautiful pixel art animation with lovely lush colours! It stars Danny and Ross and this was inspired by one of their King's Quest playthroughs. Ross is dressed as Prince Alexander and Danny is dressed as King Graham.

It's about them talking about sending messages via bird in the days before AOL, or via pterodactyl as Ross mocks about Danny's age! Very nice Ninja Sex Party reference with the "Peppermint Creams" namedrop written on the letter.

Ross jokes about giving the bird a gun but then the bird turns the gun on them! Yikes!

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 21 - SELF CAR RADIO

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0V6XgbF7Es

Nice message from SuperMega about the game audio. Should be back soon.

Arin and Danny order some spaghetti sandwiches and drink loads of alkaline water.

They go on another road trip through a narrow road. Those gates they crash through suggest something's kind of wrong about it...

They stop for a bone and pick up a skull...

More driving but with dreary poetic singer music, so they sing music of their own! Mortal Kombat remix and a bit of Cowboy Bebop too! Then it's back to... car stuff and taxes... are we there yet? lol

Actually I didn't like Snickers as a kid either because of the peanuts, which made me throw up for some reason. I like them now though.

The drive is suddenly livened up when they strike some zombies with the car. Yay! Fun!

Interesting way to define the FBI acronym!

Wow. Drive anything you want, sleep anywhere you want, go to any restaurant you want... these FBI guys aren't doing too badly.

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF PART 2 - OTIS RETURNS!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwtwQuKC5o4

Suzy has a cool castle-like house exterior. She also has a very high rating among the citizens! Nice one :)

Lovely huge flower patch.

Wow that other house she has is red and black like Virtual Boy! Lovely classical guest room. I'd feel very welcome there!

Pet spider Otis! I remember the escape room game she and Arin did on a Grumps episode :)

Cool space room. Space Channel 5 like.

I actually just decorate my house the way I like...

Still lashing rain...

Thursday 22 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 8 - VIRTUAL CRY

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

Arin and Danny appear before the video with a bait and switch announcement! You think Arin's defecated his pants but nope! It's an announcement of times for the ticket sales of Game Grumps Live! Woo!

Arin and Danny are back on course! I didn't notice the Waddle Dees were altered to look like monkeys! I always loved the way Danny made Arin annoyed by calling them monkeys whenever they play Kirby games!

Arin has a pro tip, pressing A when rolling or bouncing. He's so upset with the idea of losing that he mixes up Huckleberry Finn with Oliver Twist!

Lol, "virutal tie".

That shot into the hole is a pretty difficult one to get and so risky too! They both miss it so many times and it makes for a long episode as it makes them scramble for stars too!

Wow... 14 episode recording sessions. I know that they do this alright but wow. Sometimes I write loads of posts a day but it can't be as exhausting as recording stuff like this.

EARTHBOUND PART 7 - PAY PER CHEW

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0nbPFbUHxA

Barry and Ross start with some jokes about matter but it doesn't matter.

Haha honeybee death so "sweet". Nice one :)

Yikes! Hypnotic message about free burgers! Pay per view, or pay per chew? ;)

Nice pro tip from Barry about butterflies and topping up health and PP. :)

They face the Titanic Ant boss and lose to it unfortunately. However they get to keep experience so no real loss there :) they fast forward to their dad ringing them about taking a break and press on, bigger and badder to take on the Titanic Ant boss again. This time they win! Woo!

They record the melody at Giant Step and that's that. Yay! :)

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 20 - ZACH'S BACK

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k9nCxWDnoo

Kind message about the audio from SuperMega. They even added another snippet about how it'll be back soon! yay!

Arin and Danny make a weird fun joke out of arcade game terminology.

More confrontations with the axe maniac guy.

Eventually they reach the end of the section and go back outside to the others. It stopped raining at least.

The other characters are asked to show off their backs for clues, one of them is all scars and the chapter is finished. That Lethal Weapon saxophone joke was pretty funny though :)

ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF PART 1 - GETTING READY FOR THE UPDATE

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55JoWnBxtsI

Suzy comes back to Animal Crossing New Leaf! It was one of the first things she played on KittyKatGaming and now she's back!

It's the familar story, you don't play for ages and you get a bed head. To make matters worse, Gracie's here today. Fashion judgey Gracie!

Wow the weather's pretty bad but it's fun when it's not real life I suppose.

She shows off her house and it's really decked out! Very nice.

She's gonna play more to get ready for the big update Nintendo's putting out for the game. Wonder if I should play more as well? I do like the Halloween event in the game.

Wednesday 21 September 2016

SUPER MARIO MAKER PART 132 - V. COOL STAGES

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

Arin and Danny continue the incredible "Super Mario Vs Mecha Bowzilla" by Kiavik.

They talk about how banks that deal with business stuff say their names weird. "Ninja Sex Party Incorporated" sounds like a laugh!

After a few attempts they beat Bowser Jr.! Arin's right, this truly was an amazing stage. Pity he didn't star it though!

They move on to "V" by もとせいねん.

Ah! That V platform pattern looks like it's being held up by a Monty Mole because they move like that. Another very clever stage with excellent use of clues :)

V. cool jam session they have at the end slate :)

EARTHBOUND PART 6 - HILLARY'S RECEPTIONIST PAST

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQtrKSPUbt8

Barry and Ross get all fired up for boss Frank and his robot.

They beat them easily enough and Ross struggles with his voice. But yeah, wow I didn't know Frank heals you!

They speak over each other trying to voice the old lady and it's pretty funny!

Yeah it is kinda weird how Hillary Clinton appears as the mayor's receptionist. Things have changed a lot since 199X.

Ross gives the mayor his awesome old man voice.

They head to the first dungeon and face psychic enemy slugs! They also learn the first Ross power! PSI Ross alpha!

I would not do... that with a slug...

Wow the mouse's attack looks very bad when the screen flashes red, though it's not that severe.

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 19 - HOLD YOUR BREATH BUTTON

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7KxnzChnC0

Still no game audio. Thanks for the message anyway SuperMega!

Arin and Danny wrestle some more with the inventory system.

What the heck is up with the two screen thing? Oh I see, different perspectives. Not very smooth though...

Wow, there's a "hold your breath" button...

Haha strange continuity axe :)

I don't like coffee either. Bleh.

Wow, that's one weird way to run down a corridor! Man that's hilarious.

Wow yeah, that Chester Cheetah game episode was a long time ago but very memorable!

ABZU PART 9 FINALE - NO TRIANGLEFRIENDS HERE

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

Barry and Suzy swim around the coral with Sharkfriend spirit and golden fish friends and also, flap flaps!

They restore more coral from the evil triangles, returning the ocean to something even more beautiful, like an underwater Okami.

The squid sounded like some kind of bad thing was gonna happen, but it was a false alarm.

They land on an iceberg where they meet penguinfriends, a seashellfriend and a polarbearfriend. One of the robotfriends is here too.

They swim into the triangle base, wrecking lots of bad triangles. No trianglefriends here!

They beat the game and a lovely credit sequence follows along with some echoey choir singing. They have lots of fun barrel rolling around with sharkfriend and other fishfriends.

Vegetarian sharks? Come on Suzy!

KATAMARI FOREVER PART 30 - CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE

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

Arin corrects Danny's grammar by repeating the exact same correct thing Danny said!

They do much better at this one and pass this heat challenge! Woo!

It is kinda weird how Shy Guys are Mario canon, yet Mario dreamed them up. Then again... if you wanna be all chronological; when Mario was a baby on Yoshi's back, there were Shy Guys all over the place... on stilts even!

They talk about actively listening to music. That is, sitting down with headphones and doing nothing else besides listening, instead of having it in the background while doing something else. I always like this kind of thing. Further discussion about how we're all multitaskey would get you thinking about simplification.

Danny in particular reflects on how right now is a really exciting time in their lives and maybe sometimes they try to do too much at once. I remember how exhausted he was during Super Mario Galaxy alright...

Again, this kind of discussion is going on while Arin is rolling up the whole world, land masses and all. I love this show.

So yeah, Japanese lore has a catfish carrying the world, or at least Japan and Hindu lore has a big ol' turtle carrying the world. Arin imagines him wearing an astronaut helmet and being named "Carl" :3

They talk a bit about keeping personal lives personal and private and stuff and that's cool.

After rolling up the world, they zoom off into space! Space, gathering stars and dust and bits of meteors and stuff on the rings of planets and everything! Makes them all sparkly and awesome looking! The rumble feature is going nuts in the controller too!

They roll up the centre of the universe and finally, the snoozing king!

Nice little cutscene follows. Almost at the end of the game!

EARTHBOUND PART 5 - BURGERSHORTS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb3g6mQMydg

Barry and Ross are back after some grinding. Ah well... In my opinion you don't need to grind in this game at all because there's no real penalty for dying(which I love so much). It's widely believed though that you don't need to level grind after defeating the Sharks. I say you don't need to grind in this game full stop! I stand firm on that!

Ross talks about Bravely Default having the option to switch off all random encounters but then the boss would wipe you out. Ah well. Still a nice option though instead of doing stuff like... I dunno, repel spells.

At level 7, snakes now run away from them! That's the way it goes in this game and it's pretty cool :)

Oh wow, Barry never bought the house from that guy in the game? They totally should later on! The inside of it is pretty funny!

Haha, nice edit of that happy trumpet man in a close up while he plays!

They head into the arcade with pockets full of hamburgers. Yup, they're burgerpants. Or rather, burgershorts.

Nice cliffhanger before the boss too...

ALIEN SYNDROME PART 2 - GORY UNCLE FESTER AND GOOGLIES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm3pq9si6IY

Arin and Danny liked the game more than they expected so they go onto the next level. Very Xenomorph like creatures in this next stage! Arin even gets a flamethrower like in Aliens!

Urrrghh... the boss looks like a big red pulsating Uncle Fester. It also ends defeated as a bloody skull. I like their middle schooler impression and the middle school teacher doing a high five as well :)

Hehe, in the high score registration, Arin enters his name as PRE and Danny enters his as CUM.

"Alien Syndrome Wiki"! I can picture that actually existing! Two of them maybe!

The next level has googly eyed hoppy aliens that really splatter blood when they're shot. Arin gets a cool spread shot like in Contra.

The boss of this level has big googly eyes as well and lots of eggs and little wriggly tadpole googlies. Pretty gross. It's also kind of like a Link To The Past boss.

Alien Syndrome is a game I often overlook when I look at a SEGA list. Maybe I should have a look at some of the games in this series. There was one for Wii after all.

ABZU PART 8 - SHARKFRIEND RETURNS!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOHUIL2w09U

Barry and Suzy unlock some more colourful water and encounter more wonderful extinct creatures.

Wow cool, I love how fish friends can be gathered by doing the NiGHTS style twirl :)

Really cool chamber too where the fish friends swirl around like in a whirlpool. Barry then makes a real whirlpool by activating some kind of switch and they go back to the nautilus chamber. They meet the sharkfriend spirit. Suzy says he's so cute. Sharks cute? Yeesh!

Together with sharkfriend they go into an area where it looks like a watery heaven paradise! Suzy is all questions and I love the way Barry teases with stuff like "...is it?". It drives her nuts :) all through the series it's like this!

Monday 19 September 2016

SUPER MARIO MAKER PART 131 - MULTI-STAGE KAIJU

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjg_CzO3PgU

Arin and Danny move on to "Super Mario Vs Mecha Bowzilla" by Kiavik. They say it's a pretty popular one.

Wow that Mecha Bowzilla looks amazing! What a spectacle and you can hardly take your eyes off of it. The "legs" seem to mold to the way it's stepping so it looks kinda realistic! It inspires Danny to talk about Godzilla movies.

Ohhhh cool! It takes place inside Mecha Bowzilla after the pipe!

And then... alarms and...

Whoa, back out and it starts flying with jets!

Back in to smash another piece of it and then back out and back in again for the ultimate battle...

Yikes. The alarm sounds cool for a bout two seconds and the shaky screen effect here with the Thwomps is evil :(  more on it next time...!

EARTHBOUND PART 4 - SAFE IN THE BANK

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKeY7HdA0us

Barry and Ross meet the travelling entertainers.

I always have great praise for the way money is earned in this game. It's stored safely in the bank account and doesn't half when you get defeated. It just stays in there.

Lots more voices to do here. Lots of funny characters they come up with as well.

Barry's gonna level up? Noooo! Don't grind in this game! EarthBound's not for grinding :(

ALIEN SYNDROME PART 1 - SMASHING COLONS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPwMk1aYpLE

Arin and Danny play Alien Syndrome: Alien Syndrome. This is another SEGA AGES version.

Hmm so it's like Smash TV or Robotron 2084 it seems. Those anus snakes are very creepy and... ubiquitous.

Ahahah. They edited some blurry pixels on the giant earthworm boss! Just for a joke though, and they took it off immediately afterwards. Good call!

At the high score entry, Arin put EGO as his initials and Danny put in NUT.

Sunday 18 September 2016

KATAMARI FOREVER PART 29 - DON'T BE COOL

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

Baby Herman and Danny are trying not to roll up cold stuff. Just kidding, it's Arin but good voice!

Ah cool, Arin's going to Japan again and Danny's going to Scotland with his mom. That's pretty cool :)

This stage isn't about being cool though and it does seem very stressful, trying to figure out what's cold and what's hot.

Yeah we all called Ryu "Rye-You" when we were growing up too!

EARTHBOUND PART 3 - HOMECOOKED PENIS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V0uHesdlQ4

Barry and Ross eat some homecooked penis before setting off on their adventure! Adventure meets them on the doorstep when a snake attacks them right there in the front yard.

Hehe, Ross gives the crow a voice like the ones in Dumbo or the Kia-Ora crows :)

Ross is super creeped out by Lier X. Agerate's behaviour. You know, I never pieced it together like that myself when I played this game...

Ross is more and more charmed with this game as Barry tells him about status effects, like the one about homesickness.

The engaging and winning is already happening now with the snakes too. Yay! :)

I like the 20's gangster voices they give the clubhouse kids!

BONANZA BROS - AGES BANKING CRISIS

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

Barry and Brian appear before the video to do an advertorial skit about Loot Crate. They speak to each other in mumbles and hums and there are subtitles! Not a bad idea! The $20 bus ticket thing is sometimes true :( but... hehe... LootGREAT :)

Arin and Danny begin with Tant R but then play the main Bonanza Bros game. This is the SEGA AGES version.

This game is very demanding strategically. They both really get into it though. It's kinda strange actually. On the outside you look at it and kinda remember that it takes so much memorisation and you don't really want to bother playing, but once you do you really get into it. That's the kind of experience I can see them having here.

Saturday 17 September 2016

SUPER MARIO MAKER PART 130 - MALNUTRITIOUSED

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICz9Au5zaI0

Arin and Danny continue "House of the 15 Challenges" by Julian.

hehe, "malnutritioused" :) more funny words that still get belly laughs between them include "conclude" and "pree" :)

Yikes those springs are something else...

Wow... Arin returned to Griddles :) and it was his cheat day! I guess he'd be driven towards it.

I remember laughing so much the first time I saw the title of "Hop On Pop".

Wow, nice pop quiz on NSP and Starbomb's discography :)

Arin brings up the topic of defecating in a spray that's almost pure liquid yellow. This isn't the first time I've come across this topic of conversation on the internet...

They finish the stage and move on to "Pokémon Center Theme!" by Sporky.

Very nice autoplaying stage where they play as Pichu and the music blocks play the Pokémon Center theme and at the very end, the Pokémon healed theme. Very cute :)

EARTHBOUND PART 2 - WHO BECAME BUZZ BUZZ?

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5oBwBZiaRE

Barry and Ross beat up tame some more dogs.

I've never come face to face with a snake and I would not like to at all.

Buzz Buzz is from 10 years in the future from 199X? That's... already happened... :(

Barry's great at setting things up haha :)

I kinda like Auto Fight actually...

During the fight with Starman Junior, Ross recognises the connection to Smash Bros and Pokémon with the PSI Fire moves and the shield and the way battles play out generally.

The sound effect that plays when Picky and Pokey's dad punishes them makes imaginations go wild! How severe was it?

The first appearance of the photographic genius is here too, right at the end of the episode! Very nice timing :)

GOLDEN AXE HD PART 4 - REMEMBERING LORD FLASHHEART

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJH99S953Yw

Arin and Danny face a magician named... Magician!

Danny talks about Rik Mayall and how he was a major inspiration for his Danny Sexbang character. I know Rik Mayall very well... his Nintendo ads and Bottom... it was very sad for me when he passed away...

He played Lord Flashheart in Blackadder. I looked up the clip Danny mentioned(because I never watched Blackadder) and wow! You can see how Danny Sexbang was created! Conceived even!

I watch this show every day and... no I would not like to be beaten up by them...

Nice Kung Pow reference when Danny refers to the joke about Radioshack :)

Yikes... the extra level involves jumping back and forth :( not great in a roamer fighter.

ABZU PART 7 - SNEAKY FLYING NAUTILUS

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

Barry and Suzy observe some goofy dolphins on the wall with huge eyes. Cute :)

Helicoprions I looked up and they were freaky things with buzz saw mouths. Saw another shark with some kind of anvil or something on its back? Wonder why they went extinct? They're all pretty scary looking.

They both try to do a Christopher Walken impression. That doesn't seem to be as popular a thing to do as it used to be... Still nice to come back to though :)

Suzy misses having the robot friend options.

Ew, piercings :/  the magnet thing sounds like a clever workaround but at the same time, sounds very dangerous.

Ooo... sneaky flying nautilus! It's kinda believable as a feature though, given the general themes of this game.

Friday 16 September 2016

KATAMARI FOREVER PART 28 - LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA WAS GOOD, OKAY

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

Arin and Danny open with some Spice Girls lyrics and memories about 90s pop music. I love the Spice Girls and... I actually loved where music went in the late 90s. It was brilliant! I loved Livin' La Vida Loca :) great song! I think it's very sad about Kurt Kobain though of course. I never got into grunge music. I was just too young I'd say.

More stuff about American fast food chains I know nothing about... Interesting diarrhoea statistics though!

Eggoraptor sounds delicious :)

EARTHBOUND PART 1 - COOLEST THING: ROSS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPutczZpJ20

YES! YES! Barry and Ross are finally playing EarthBound and this episode is on Undertale's first anniversary too!

Poor Ross. EarthBound and many other SNES rpgs didn't come out here or in Australia in the 90s.

Lots of fun naming the characters here and Holly and Dan's names come up in the built in names. Poo is a fun enough name so they leave that as it is. Other fun names in here include Splot for Ness, Pallf for Paula, Dick for Jeff, Doggo for the dog, penis for favourite food and Ross as the coolest thing. That's gonna be interesting later in the playthrough!

Do they say "Doggo" instead of "Doggie" in Australia? Just curious.

Barry's a big fan of EarthBound and is very enthusiastic about this playthrough! I think he'll make it a good series with Ross too of course. He is the coolest thing in their savegame after all!

Oh I get it now, Eagleland is called so because of the American eagle. Didn't really cop that before.

Oh man... the voices. Ross comes up with some doozy ones, like the East European one for the mom and the not-very-healthy sounding Doggo. The police all have great voices!

Must be tough for them reading the text on a screen it wasn't designed for.

Wow I never read Lier X. Agerate's name out loud before! How about that!

"Work to exhaustion when you're young" is a very weird saying alright...

ANYBODY CAN DRAW - BY OCEANFRUIT

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp0q7f2uH-c

This cartoon was inspired by the time Arin and Danny talked about drawing during the Super Mario Galaxy playthrough and Arin had that distinctive "drawin' Mozart" line!

Arin's dressed as Mario, complete with lovely matching facial hair and Danny's dressed as Luigi. They're drawn nicely here with nice cute eyed designs and friendly expressive faces.

They're hanging out on this ball planet talking about drawing and it was where Arin kept getting his trail messed up in the game, but it was made to look like Arin was getting his sky constellation drawings messed up. Lots of Game Grumps inside jokes drawn in the sky here! Nice appearance by the Luma here too.

GOLDEN AXE HD PART 3 - GIVE ME A CAWWL!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye2HvJ3BvzY

Arin and Danny return to game and talk about how fed up they are of planes. Too much air travel recently.

That giant bird level looks cool. I know there's a giant turtle one alright.

Drag Me To Hell was a great film and yes both scary and hilarious :) the cinemagoing experience was awesome!

I guess the honey baked ham store is like the calendar store, or the Halloween costume store. Seasonal and part time stores are kinda strange alright.

Wow that bird looks super dead at the end of its section. Love that "give me a cawwwwll!" line :)

Blackadder was an interesting sitcom alright but I've never really sat down to watch it.

I'm sure there's a game like that where you play as the parade of similar baddies that fill up the screen in roaming fighters.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY RELEASE RAPTOR WITH EGORAPTOR - MARRHH

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eJp0MbaSZQ

Suzy and Arin play this demo. They play as a raptor running through a hall of a space station or something. They have to destroy little robots in this demo.

I like that little slap he has :) Arin's having a ball voicing him, sounding like his conspiracy reptilians. Suzy's doing some funny stuff with his moves as well.

They finish it and move onto the lab demo.

Excellent point about laser pointers Suzy! Maybe robots are laser pointers for raptors. Arin likes them after all!

Metal Gear Raptor would be incredibly awesome :) it is something that would totally happen too as a prank or an extra mode or something.

Thursday 15 September 2016

SUPER MARIO MAKER PART 129 - HIGHLY AMUSING COIN HUNT

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

Arin and Danny move on to "Promenade on a cold black night" by Conchita. Love the title of this stage :)

Oh wow. Another great idea where you play the stage offscreen but there's a copy of the level itself onscreen you can use as a guide! Brilliant idea altogether :)

After completion, they move on to "Mario's Amusing Coin Hunt" by Carlos. Looks lovely from the thumbnail, like it's Pac-Land or something.

Love the funfair theme for this level :)

AAAahhhhh! Bumper car Wigglers! That was soooo cute!

Spiny shooting gallery too! Take that Spinies!

Ohhhh double wow. The ferris wheel plays the coin heaven theme. This is very much like how Super Mario Bros. 3 actually is :)

Yes Danny, dangereux :)

Ahh! The ghost house is startling, yet harmless. Excellent thinking on that one!

The swingy boat thing is here too, as is the roller coaster!

They should've put a star on that level!!!

They go on to "House of the 15 Challenges" by Julian.

Lots of platforming challenges here alright. It's kind of like the Wario Land 2/3 style where you miss something and have to loop back to try it again.

BOUND PART 6 - RAIN MEMORIES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEorhD0IzYA

Barry and Ross attempt to interpret the interpretive dancing. Vietnam War? Wow!

In the pregnant lady's world again and she walks to a more sheltered spot to escape the rain.

It's raining in the amazing dancey world now too. Ross shares a lovely memory where he and his sister got caught in the rain on the walk home from school.

Ross tells a story about World Of Warcraft.

Nice edit of her slam dunking a basketball!

Oh cool. Mario Galaxy gravity planet thingies :)

GOLDEN AXE HD PART 2 - BAD AND BAD BOSSES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Phk4n0MCuM

Arin and Danny accidentally set off the magic attack and make the food appear off the edge of the screen so it's unreachable. This HD version's very faithful to old games alright :)

Wow the bald sledgehammer bosses are just named "Bad". Craziness.

Swam here? I can imagine them swimming and holding their swords in their teeth or something!

Oh I think Arin's talking about Dragon Spirit. Namco game.

GOOGLE FEUD WITH EGORAPTOR PART 2 - SANDRA BOLLOCK

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lawFwz2-oRQ

Suzy and Arin continue the feud!

Why the heck isn't Wreck-It Ralph there in the first one? :( maybe it has to be after Ralph.

Omg I was screaming Bruce Campbell at the screen!

"Sanda Bollock" probably made many Irish and British Lovelies laugh their heads off! I know I did :)

A Crown Of Thrones! What a cameo that would be! "A Mexican name" is hysterical!

"Dodgeville Wisconsin" is a bit too specific...

Wow they got cheated badly on the giraffes one!

Wednesday 14 September 2016

KATAMARI FOREVER PART 27 - BEAR COLLEGE

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srPDEoeP_4g

Arin and Danny play dress up with the long headed Cousin Odeko.

They recall they said the exact same thing at one point in another Katamari game on a similar level when describing something. Pretty interesting that.

Those porn memes and parodies on those streaming sites are pretty funny alright :)

Wow... a Tinder for bears. Danny does a funny bear rambling thing. Bear college and everything.

BOUND PART 5 - TODD THE VAMPIRE'S GIRLFRIEND

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky49FxsLktE

Barry and Ross pretend they're picking up Pokéstops.

Then they do interpretive dances and try to figure out what they mean. No face cam means we have to use our imaginations.

That's nice of Ross to get Barry a present :)

Todd The Vampire's Girlfriend is a pretty funny character they come up with!

Ross promises to ban all comments on this video that aren't all poetic and interpretive! Lots of nice rhymes people are making :)


GOLDEN AXE HD PART 1 - BADDIES NAMED "LONG MOAN"

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

Arin and Danny start with an impression of Chris doing an impression of Seth Rogen.

"Golden Axe had a story?" Danny asks. Yup! :) that's right. None of us cared back then.

Interesting how there are different types of showers.

I wonder... was it possible to become a pro 1cc player at this game? It seems like some hits are just inevitable

"Long Moan" is such a weird name!

Love Danny's impression of Ax just being a big child playing around with a sword!

GOOGLE FEUD WITH EGORAPTOR PART 1 - POOPY RESULTS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UA00Kbt5jA

Suzy and Arin are playin' the Google Feud! I thought this was familiar alright. Suzy played it before with Markiplier.

Kale is nice but it's not the new beef! Lol. It may accompany the burger but never replace it.

Wow! Very good call on the college one!

Nice going on the Harry Potter one as well. I was hoping the Big Chicken one was there but it wasn't :(

Wow, "poop" is quite a popular option!

Nice guess with the nose job option too! I was kinda hoping "boat" would be there but it wasn't :(

Tuesday 13 September 2016

SUPER MARIO MAKER PART 128 - CHATTY GOOMBAS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_5xZ4mDAEE

Arin and Danny move on to "A Goomba Story(turn on comments)" by Hype.

Barry appears and says hello. Hello Barry!

Oh this stage is cute. Comments show up in the form of NPC dialogue :) great idea! Wouldn't other people commenting mess it up though?

Wiggler's anger is captured nicely in his dialogue!

Wow I think I saw that conspiracy video Arin's talking about! Did it have like an animated skull laughing?

Really charming level with lovely fetch quests and the dialogue gives it a sense of warmth! Ah... there are player comments but they don't appear in the level for some reason. But yeah, very clever idea :)

BOUND PART 4 - PINK SHIRT DAD

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH9KBUUYClA

Barry and Ross do some weird screen rotation and config stuff and talk about the Dead Or Alive VR demo. Wow... a game about ogling girls but the girls don't want you to ogle them? Why don't they like it in VR world?! Who'd pay all that money just to have VR girls reject them? I don't get it.

Some figures appear as if in a dream sequence or something of a dad and his daughter in a tug of war. They do their voices and have the dad be angry that his daughter is making fun of his pink shirt. Maybe it got mixed in the laundry with the girl's red outfit like in the Simpsons :)

Wow, Ross makes a really good observation :)

Ah that path sliding was pretty cool.

It goes back to pregnant lady simulator. Barry makes her dance :)

A beach towel tampon? Are you nuts Ross?! lol

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 18 - DANNY CLEARS THE AIR

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

SuperMega's kind message about missing game audio appears before the episode.

Arin and Danny try to unlock a door with a steel pipe. It works eventually.

I say, what a handy tree.

Very interesting story about Chris farting! It's believed he farted on Danny, so Danny clears the air a bit.

No idea what Danny means by opacity. Maybe it's in an episode of Mario Maker I haven't seen yet.

They have a "deadly premonition" that the main character is the killer. It'd be some kind of a twist I suppose.

RE:LOAD - SHORT AND SWEET PLOT LINES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjvh-Jgf35Y

Suzy and Arin play this visual novel dating fangame based on Overwatch!

Soldier 76 sounds a lot like Solid Snake! :) Arin voices him. He also voices Winston with a fussy intellectual mature male voice. Maybe like Frasier or something.

Wow... that ending was short.

They start again but with Arin's name instead of Morty. Suzy voices him and it's pretty funny!

Arin gives Hanzo a nice gruff samurai voice.

Wow, one of the endings involves reenacting a scene from Dragon Ball Z! This is pretty funny :)

Monday 12 September 2016

KATAMARI FOREVER PART 26 - ODE TO KEVIN

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

Arin and Danny give a shout out to Kevin, who has moved on from Game Grumps to do other things. He wants to cut move trailers and I hope he gets to do it, because there is definitely room for improvement in the movie trailers that are coming out lately! But yeah... I was wondering about Kevin and I'll miss him.

Matt and Ryan of SuperMega are on board now and they're doing a good job editing. I love the improvisations they do with Deadly Premonition. It actually helps make the series more enjoyable!

I just re-watched the skit that introduced Kevin in the Domino Rally episode. His name will always be in the Big Ol' Book Of RAD EDITORS. :) Thank you Kevin!

So yeah, Arin and Danny are doing a nice snowball level, making a nice snowman head.

I never saw the 60s Batman movie and I'd love to watch it sometime...

ATTACK ON TITAN PART 2 - ATTACK ON TWINKIES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3LgYdKPYjo

Barry and Ross mingle around, waiting for the titan killing to start.

I don't really get Twinkies... I'd rather just eat cake or something.

Yikes the real time graphics look very different to the cut scene ones...

Just looked up the 3DS game and it uses anime cutscenes instead of these ones. Ah well.

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 17 - ALKALINE ARIN

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

Still no game audio. Thanks for the message SuperMega!

Arin and Danny flush some toilets and talk about alkaline water. Is that just salt water?

Love that pricking Hanna-Barbera sound!

Damaged Red Hair... is that from the red cobwebs?

I remember the Blur vs Oasis thing in the 90s alright. I remember older kids arguing about them anyway.

I remember the milk carton in the Coffee and T.V. music video.

Sunday 11 September 2016

SUPER MARIO MAKER PART 127 - PUZZLE PICTURE LEVELS RULE!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d0Sw8S4n90

Arin and Danny go on to "Nikki's Puzzling Pictures" by Kiavik.

It's got the same idea as the last stage with the find the block thing. I like this kind of level :)

Wow it's got lots of backtracking too. :) Feels a bit like Metroid!

Oh wow... this level has more than one ending! That's awesome :)

They like it so much they don't wanna leave it!

ATTACK ON TITAN PART 1 - SWINGING AND FLYING

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu910X4E_os

Ross and Barry enjoy the opening cutscene of this popular anime's new game adaptation. I've never watched it myself...

Ah it says "massive damage" in the tutorial.

The swinging and flying is pretty cool.

I don't think I will watch Attack On Titan but I''ll watch Ross and Barry play this game.

BEST OF GAME GRUMPS - AUGUST 2016

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84q3bzbdlWQ

August had some great moments. The butthole adventure is from here.

The "just pity laugh please!" moment is here. Aw... I remember that :)

The grand conclusion of Pokémon FireRed took place during this month too and Buntd, won the day!

The carry on between Ross, Arin and Chris during Human Fall Flat was pretty funny!

Urgh... those horrible dogs from the Inside playthrough are here too.

The Black Friends counter was pretty funny too!

Deadly Premonition's grand car crashing debut took place here too and kicked off the Halloween season!

Sonic And The Black Knight's rage filled dragon boss fight is here too as is Ross freaking out during Pepsi Man so much that Danny had to come in and check on him. Love the New Yorker accent Jimmy has too :)

Aw... the Dead Or Alive beach game rejections of Arin are here too...

The Buntd, missed opportunity is here too... Painful!

Barry checking on Arin during his outburst after Sonic And The Black Knight is here too. Poor Barry! So funny though, seeing him and Jack looking in the window all worried!

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 16 - SUPER SAIYAN BABIES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5K-FZSqVNE

Still no game audio. Message by SuperMega. Nice addition of springy sound effects though :)

Arin and Danny start despite nearly choking on coffee.

Haha the idea of babies crying because they're trying to turn into Super Saiyans is pretty funny!

Going through this creepy quiet place, I'm glad to have Arin and Danny for company. They do the "axe you a question" joke with the axe wielding zombies and the zombies then do a funny pick up line. Great fun :)

I love The Shining and other Kubrick movies too. Jack Nicholson's performance is great and actually makes me laugh at some points.

Th...the purple Skittles are blackcurrant... aren't they? Maybe it's just American Skittles?

KATAMARI FOREVER PART 25 - WHAT ARINS IN VEGAS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5MwU8O0QkQ

Danny appears before the video to announce Ninja Sex Party concert date, the last one of 2016 probably! Woo! Ninja Brian's here too but we can't see him because... you know.

Arin and Danny confirm some lyrics.

The other system of measurement besides metric is the imperial system.

I'm not into gambling at all. Hearing Arin's experience with it doesn't tempt me any further either!

When they finish the level, it's another Jumbo Men cutscene! They do look like TWRP alright!

BOUND PART 3 - CLEFAPPING

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

Barry and Ross choose the sad kid page in the sketchbook.

I agree with Ross about red liquorice. I love aniseed flavour sweets though.

Vernon appears but only in physical gestures, which Ross kindly describes to us.

Paperman cartoon was lovely :) saw it along with Wreck-It Ralph at the cinema.

If only we could do that in real life, dance around and all the annoying bugs would just get lost.

I'm not into Big Bang Theory either.

"Clefapping". *Beavis and Butthead laugh*

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 15 - FRED EINSTEIN OR ALBERT FRED?

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpY_eIAG8g8

SuperMega's audio message comes before the video.

Arin and Danny are playing this game, again.

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go would make for a nice cover :)

Imagine this guy being in the video game character hall of fame... I don't know if Cranky Kong would let him in...

Fred Einstein... or Albert Fred?

Hooray! A better gun! Makes the purple stuff flow easier.

Love the Schwarzenegger one liners :)

Main character is shaving... In a place like this... yeesh.

YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS 2 - SIMPLE BLOCK PLATFORMING

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yeSijSLI2Q

Suzy and Arin play this minimalist style platformer with a 10 second limit per level.

It kinda reminds me of ZX Spectrum platformers the way each screen has its own name.

Some nice variety here and they both have a go.

Friday 9 September 2016

6969 - NSP, MY REVIEW!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvLz5kCVIss

Ninja Brian is happily meditating in his room when Danny Sexbang casually walks in and invites him to try out his awesome time machine space ship. They'll have to come back to the part before they wreck the house while going into orbit!

Arin's the narrator and plays as the evil dictator of the sexless future.

This spaceship in orbit is awesome! Flying around and the music it reminds me of Galaxy High. Ninja Brian's dressed a lot like Kick-Ass and Danny's dancing and slipping around hilariously on his "Space Lube" :)

Absolutely love the Holo-Deck where Danny's frolicking around with girls and velcro underpants until Ninja Brian switches it off into the cool grid effect thing. Some fantastic detail here, like the "BooberTime" instead of BurgerTime arcade cabinet.

So yeah after some sexy trekking, they travel to the year 6969 where everyone gets laid and there's sure to be unicorns, delicious desserts and orgies everywhere! But then, Oh no! It's a dystopian sexless future where human touch is outlawed!

"Without the thrill of boning, what is life?" our heroes ask themselves. A very real question we can all ask ourselves in real life too.

They go to the Council Of Dick Elders to speak up about this problem but then it all goes horribly wrong when it's revealed they're behind this evil sexless future! They're played by Arin, Kevin, Barry and Ross. Danny and Ninja Brian flee to their space ship time machine and "get ready for a sexy fight!" with Danny's "Sparkle Of Hope!".

Danny's space suit reminds me a bit of Samus Aran's Zero Suit. I like the evil council's spiky shoulder pads too!

NSP locate a hot girl and Danny beams down in his super NSP costume and cape and gets ready to save her and the Earth from a sexless loveless future! The girl is rescued along with her friends because Danny's the hero that's why! I like the stunt dummy Danny that had to be used. It's a very dangerous job after all, taking on and liberating thousands of years of sexual repression!

Markiplier appears as a news reporter reporting on this end of the world orgy that is now spreading. Maybe we can write an essay on how this is a metaphor for YouTube bringing in all rules and stuff? Media trying to control the masses? Could be something there :)

The unconvinced evil council then strike back and exciting battling follows. Though brief, because Ninja Brian makes short work of every single one of them!

The new world becomes beautiful, with dreamy starry pink skies, flowers everywhere and everyone is happy and dancing! Their job done, Danny entrusts the future to the hot girl he saved before leaving for his own time. Very Chrono Trigger-esque story where they travel to the future to save it!

As they leave, a giant pile of dominoes in the pattern of the year 6969 are tumbled. The future is saved and our heroes go home!

So yeah, who wouldn't love this Chrono Trigger-like story about awesome dudes having fun flying through space, time travelling and frolicking in the Holo-Deck and end up having to save the sexy future of the world? Reminds me of the storytelling nature of Tenacious D's "City Hall" where "we will all travel in tubes!".

About the credits, I haven't blog labels made for everyone unfortunately but they all did a great job together.

SUPER MARIO MAKER PART 126 - SURE AS SHULK

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WdbmHO-grg

King Danny Sexbang royally appears before the video to announce that the video for Ninja Sex Party's 6969 song is up on the ninjasexparty YouTube channel! Can't wait to see :)

Ninja Brian's there too, only we can't see him because... you know.

Arin and Danny play Super Mario Maker some more! They go on to "I Can Change The Future!" by Mikey. Is this a Xenoblade reference? Ah... it is :) there's the Shulk costume.

I went through the exact same Googling check Danny just went through to confirm Tom Shields' name! He's a Game Grumps fan who won gold in the Rio Olympics for swimming. Yay :)

By the way, this stage is so cool. The premonitions appear in closed off boxes and give clues on how to beat the level. Great idea and a lovely tribute to Shulk's Monado ability!

The one with the POW blocks and the doorbell has a really good feeling to it.

Mixing up Tom Shields' name becomes a running joke for the rest of the episode!

Huh... interesting bit of trivia about the Olympic Village there...

Just watched the Polish female winner of the hammer toss and the female weightlifters in Rio... wow! What lovely big teddy bear women they are :) swoon!

That would be pretty cool to see... whatshisname on the show :) he could talk about this "Village"!

BOUND PART 2 - DANCES WITH KAIJU

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6a8ESX5lLw

Barry and Ross give us important advice on stretching before dancing and facing monsters.

They do some awesome ribbon dancing with a sundrop and wow at all the world building itself around them.

Ah yeah, she's like the Valkyrie girl with the wings on her helmet :)

Mmm... love the long jump in Super Mario 64.

Wow, dance away the bees :)

So yeah this game has its own Godzilla kaiju thing.

Then it's back to the pregnant lady on the beach looking at artwork in her book. Is all this stuff going on in her imagination?

TEMMIE VILLAGE - BY TEMMIE CHANG

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q9ZkLTL6us

This cartoon was inspired by Barry and Ross' playthrough of Undertale where they visited Temmie Village and it's made by Temmie herself! Woo!

Ross is wearing a green hoodie and Barry is wearing a blue jumper. So they're Chara and Frisk's clothes right? The evil one and the pacifist one? Nice matching of their Grump personalities if this was intended :)

Commander Holly is here too as a little bird! Yay!

So Barry and Ross are just exploring Temmie Village where they meet Temmie, Temmie, Temmie, Temmie, Temmie and Bob. I hope I didn't forget anyone. They're happy and cute little things, wagging their tails and everything

What beautiful colours, paintery style and lighting this cartoon has!

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 14 - THEY LOVE RAIN IN THIS WORLD IT SEEMS

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

I was saying how Suzy and Arin kicked off the Halloween season early with Minds Eyes today, but this series has been going on since August! I guess I think of this more as a weird detective mystery type of thing than as a Halloween thing, but it's still appropriate. Halloween's about having a laugh at weird stuff too.

One of the nice guys of SuperMega gives a message about the game audio before this episode. Also, I never noticed in the thumbnail how the main character has duct tape over his mouth! Took me long enough to notice!

Arin and Danny go into another driving sequence road trip in stormy weather with raindrop effects on the windscreen.

I guess "unsub" would be a scary killer to a YouTuber.

Ahh... Danny says this is what it's like to be driving with him and Arin through the rain. I like this idea as a simulator :), trying to stop for dandelions and stuff. It is funny too with the crashing around while the characters are having a serious conversation.

The other characters aren't allowed inside the building by the main character and they have this conversation out in the rain. What is with these characters and their love of standing out in the rain? Couldn't they talk inside the car?

The red cobwebs and zombies are back. Lots of bang bang bang with the gun too. Nice of them to put springy sound effects at one point. Bit of variety :)

Love their eureka moment at the end with their long synchronised "ohhhhhhhhhh". Danny going "hhhhhhhhhuuuuuooppp!" reminds me of Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim!

MINDS EYES - HALLOWEEN SEASON 2016 BEGINS!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qgb2FeZ2Oo

Suzy has Arin along to play this scary game. I was wondering when Suzy was going to start Halloween themed stuff! I remember last year she started things early as well and I really liked that. Halloween was when I started blogging about the Game Grumps so it's special for me too!

Suzy talks about jump scares in modern horror movies. It can be very annoying alright and it has been described as "cattle prod cinema".

Omg that child's laugh when they pick up the bear was startling :O

Arrgh that having to light matches all the time makes things so uncomfortable. Those paintings are creepy too, especially the one with the face. They strike fear into you, yet they're just paintings.

The lights come on and things are no less creepy. They're struggling to find stuff to do, which happens a lot in scary games and makes them even more difficult to stomach.

I'll say it... there's one big jump scare at the end of the video and yes it made me jump along with them! They continue the commentary and continue trying to scrape around to find stuff to do. You can tell their commentary is just a way of helping them cope with the game at this point! From my point of view, typing while watching helped me to cope with the game as well!

KATAMARI FOREVER PART 24 - CHOOSING DANGLE

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUsmj7I7VTA

Arin and Danny play as Dangle in the next stage.

Wow this stage has severe rules on collecting stuff. Arin's very careful in collecting the biggest things possible. He does pretty well at it too thank goodness :)

In the next stage, Danny reads out saucy and smutty lyrics of a song we may have missed.

SONIC FAN GAME - OPEN WORLD RUN ANYWHERE YOU WANT!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt5i4XEqKrI

Arin and Ross try out this fan Sonic game. It has GDK on the title screen. "Splines"?

Hey it looks pretty cool :)

It looks REALLY cool. WAY PAST cool you could say.

Arin's right. It is believable if it was an official Sonic game.

The whole open world run anywhere you want thing hasn't really been done before in the Sonic series. I think there was a thing in Sonic Jam alright but nothing like this.

Whoa... Sonic ragdoll flops on the ground when he drowns in this!

Wow, Ross broke the game in record time!

Wow... that 25th anniversary livestream sounds fascinating with all the technical issues that happened... The archived Twitch chat must be kinda funny :)

Ah cool... that teleporter thing is like the numbered pads in Donkey Kong 64.

I gotta say it all looks pretty darn cool and one of the great things about Steam Train is the way they can play mods, hacks, fangames etc. :)

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 13 - CREEPIER THAN THE SHINING TWINS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir2aKqGNb4w

The kind message about the game audio comes before the episode by one of the SuperMega guys.

Arin and Danny talk about how long a road trip this driving sequence is.

Wow those twins are kinda creepy. Like synchronised car dashboard ornaments.

That profiling gag was pretty good :)

Wow, an FBI superhero cape...

You and me both Danny... you and me both... (I didn't get anything from that cutscene either. Something about cults or something)

BOMB CORP WITH ONEYPLAYS AND SUPERMEGA - FILING FRUSTRATIONS

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

Suzy's joined by Matt, Ryan and Chris today to play this collaborative bomb disposal game.

They work together pretty well but find the filing a bit tricky.

It is tricky but they eventually get the hang of it and it's a great thing to behold!

Wednesday 7 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 7 - PARASOL PUTT

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-A9TGjTwno

Arin and Danny start a little belchy. 

Cool! Water skipping :)

Yikes... weird perspective thing. Pay attention to his spot shadow!

What is it about putting in this game!

Preeing and concluding... it's all over this episode!

HOLY guacamole. That parasol putt Arin did! Incredible shot and way to end the episode :)

BOUND PART 1 - DANCING DESPITE GODZILLA

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8no16m8M2Q

Barry and Ross play this game that's gotten critics talking recently.

It starts as a pregnant woman going to sit down at the beach and Ross gets bored so he has to have Godzilla and King King fighting edited in to the background lol :) Ross makes some funny edit requests during the episode!

Next thing it's this crazy otherworldly mysterious sci-fi setting that's a bit like an early 90s early cgi music video.

Those ripples as a PS2 tech demo? Psh... how about a Super Monkey Ball bonus stage, running on a GameCube! Now we're talkin' :)

Yeah I remember Mario and Sonic doing dancing like this in the Rio Olympics.

Yum, french fries grass :) actually it looks more like sweet potato fries or carrot sticks.

Irish dancing is pretty intense alright.

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 12 - STONE COLD TURKEY SANDWICH

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMa-WWQmOY0

The kind game audio message comes before the video.

Arin and Danny take on some houseproud zombies.

Maybe it's a petrified turkey sandwich...

"Mysterious Capitalist"?!

Hehe Star Chex :)

That "excellent" part would make a good reaction image.

"VIDGMES". I had to pause especially myself! They get out to check it themselves though.




EARWAX WITH ONEYPLAYS AND SUPERMEGA - RYAN RULES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgE9CqPeVh0

Suzy's joined by Chris, Matt and Ryan for this multi-player smartphone game.

I've never read Of Mice And Men...

Man... imagine farting in your own space suit...

Ryan's kicking butt :)

Tuesday 6 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 6 - CONVEYOR BELTS AND SCARY WHALES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2pjUsPUk5c

Arin and Danny try not to fall down to the giant scary whales and laugh maniacally at the idea. Nice view of the ocean from up here though :)

Danny's really got those sun/moon panels sussed!

I'd love if Q*Bert had a warp thing like this stage... actually, I suppose it does with the two thingies on the sides... but it doesn't have conveyor belts!

I love the different decisions and emotional reactions Arin comes out with in his competitive strategies! He makes for a fascinating case study!

VALLEY PART 3 - FROZEN SAVES THE DAY!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT7up4TRlKk

On the thumbnail, Olaf The Snowman from Frozen appears for some reason. Let's see why...

Ross, Matt and Ryan continue collecting those glowy thingies. Reminds me of those light drop thingies from Twilight Princess.

That slide was pretty cool.

I can just picture Ross getting up off the couch to point at the hole in the tree!

Something happens and they have to start all over again, so they end up just playing browser games. It's all those various weird Frozen games, hence the reference in the thumbnail :)

Eesh... Olaf At The Dentist... He only has one tooth though right? Plus, he could just use more snow?

Whoops at the ending! That came out kinda wrong!

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 11 - SITCOM LAURA THE SMALLTOWN ZOMBIE

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

Another little message about the game audio appears before the episode by one of the Supermega guys. Very considerate. :)

Arin and Danny get a bit caught up in morse code but continue.

That's true they have met more zombies than people. Less dialogue and more action I suppose.

Sitcom Laura comes back! Yay! She's a smalltown zombie now and suddenly her groaning and gurgling makes sense :)

What the heck was that cartoon sound effect? Bit out of place here but funny :) Nice job on the creepy ambient audio though guys :)

ABZU PART 6 - MARCUS!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl0J2gX3YEs

Barry and Suzy try to make sense of a squid and some coral.

Life of the ocean is being used to make robot friends and triangles? Is Dr. Robotnik behind all this?

All the red hue in this area makes it look very creepy and dangerous.

Yikes... all those triangles... they all flash quickly too. Knowing that they blow up, this is pretty scary!

SOS... Save Our Sharkfriend!!!

Weird credits... hey sharkfriend is in there!

Putting a name like Marcus on their friend makes it more painful when... aw... can't say. Suzy is distraught though.

Wow, nice green spring like area ahead. Kinda like the Forest temple in Wind Waker.

Monday 5 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 5 - UFOP

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

Suzy and Arin appear before the video again to talk about the charity stream they're doing. Isn't 12-6pm PST when the standard episodes come out? I wonder how fast the Twitch chat will go? There's sure to be loads of participants there!

Arin and Danny start on an island in the middle of a water hazard. I guess the nice thing about non real world golf is that you can continue play underwater!

Ah, so the sun/moon panel only has a few flips... I guess that'll prevent stalemates.

Wow that UFO is OP! It's pretty cool though and Danny needs the stars!

Wow, that last score is amazing! Everybody wins :)

They go on to the next course: Mr. Barry & Mr. Kevin, which is an edit of Mr. Bright & Mr. Shine(respectively). Nice touch with Kevin's hat and Barry's sunglasses!

Burgie looks a lot less intimidating than Kracko!

This first hole of the new course is all dark and hilly.

VALLEY PART 2 - LION KING 2 POP QUIZ

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL62huOqtu4

Ross, Ryan and Matt spring a Lion King 2 pop quiz on us! Uh oh! Should've heeded the warning! Sorry Ross... I didn't watch it :(

They do a live action thing where Ross tries to lift Ryan because he was born in like 1996 and Ross could've held him as a baby. He isn't doing so well now as we can see from that piggyback attempt!

That's a really cute sound effect they came up with!

This game is not to be confused with Stardew Valley...

Th...they scream weird...

Yeah the Tetris theme "Type-A" is adapted from some kind of traditional folk song.

I never really got into Digimon myself.

Chris' "arghh!" sounds a bit like TipTup from Diddy Kong Racing :)

Haha, contagious yawning jokes :)

Hey, Steve Buscemi has had lots of great movie roles :(

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 10 - BLOOD RED COBWEBS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74F1FsStvXI

Another nice short message about the game audio appears before the episode.

Arin and Danny face the big red demonic cobweb thing in the hospital corridor. No big deal, right?

The dead lady is also seen running around in slow motion. Nope... not bad at all.

Yikes, that monstrous nurse thing was bleeding purple...

They try to make sense of the enjoyability of this game in contrast to the quality. It kind of has a "Manos The Hands Of Fate" way about it.

"We have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke!". Nice Kung Pow reference Danny :D

The monsters really do take too many shots to be defeated...

Sunday 4 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAMCOURSE - LUIGI'S SCOREBOARD BGM

Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJQRBL6ihHM

I just had to bring this up. I know it's a video of a sound test screen but I'll say it's audio anyway.

This is one of the original tracks that appear in this lovingly made hack of Kirby's Dream Course. It's the scorecard bgm that Arin and Danny always stop to listen to in their playthrough. It's adapted from Luigi's Ballad by Starbomb and it sounds so good as SNES music! It's by this YouTuber TheGiik and it's well worth listening to! Check it out!

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 4 - STALEMATE RISK

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8h3AcvALUo

Arin and Danny are still amazed at the sheer amount of love this hack took and it's on a reproduction cartridge and everything!

I love the theme of this level. It's Yoghurt Yard, one of my favourite Kirby tracks!

The next stage is a vast plain and has lots of bumps all over it. Is this a comment on Dan's... ah... never mind :)

Lots of items here so it's pretty fun the way it's paced. Yikes, that sun/moon panel that reverses the star score risks stalemating the stage! However, Danny falls asleep and Arin makes it into the hole before he wakes up! Yaaah!

Whoever wins the next course, it sounds like Danny will win in his own way! hahahaha :)

VALLEY PART 1 - SWINGING AND GLOWING

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRtWi_WHa0c

Ross, Matt and Ryan take on this new game Ross bought a while ago but forgot... until now!

The character they play as is pretty cool, jumping all around the place with super glowy powers and everything.

They say they're not funny so that YouTube comments don't. What is this, some kind of funny insurance? :)

Ross talks about how he met ProJared and how they became friends. Aw :) The other two then test their friendship.

Hmm... I think I'll skip watching Lion King 2 before watching the next episode. So rebellious :P

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 9 - WELCOME BLACK

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDJX1YV0UPk

Another apology message about the game audio. Very kind of them :)

Arin and Danny welcome us black.

They meet a doctor that looks just like Chris Rock! I think he looks more like Jamie Foxx.

Haha the New York accent they give the corpse!

Strange use of jazz music alright. That Jaws music is less strange... kinda.

Right, so that FBI guy is quirky and smart and good at chess. Though he is a little different with talking to his scar for some reason and seeing weird stuff like that hellish thing happening in the hospital right now. Good place for a cliffhanger though!

Saturday 3 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 3 - SINKING WITHOUT STARS

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBB2hQHEl-c

Suzy and Arin appear before the video to announce a charity livestream for Monday. Woo!

Arin and Danny eventually both make it off the teeing point. Danny has a slow start but catches up super quickly!

They both fall asleep next to each other and dream of Suzy like it's some crazy psychic thing.

Haha the Grump face looking at the other player as he speeds past looks like he's fit to throttle him!

Oh man that awkward putting duel at the end! The score was so close too and that tragic ending where Danny didn't collect the 2 stars on sinking! Gah!

ZERO G ARENA - RAG DOLL SHOOTER

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8-hjXkw29s

Ross and Chris play this third person arena shooter with minimalist graphics and an interesting gravity mechanic.

It's pretty cool the way you can use the gun to propel you in the other direction. It reminds me of Cave Story.

Ross does this funny thing to evade his opponent's fire by leaping around walls and floors like a freak :)

lol dubstep gun. Makes a dubstep sound when you shoot it. Lots of different interesting weapons here.

That moment where they try to chat but end up messing up the window is pretty funny!

Love the designs and paintings on the different arenas and rooms :)

There's one room with buildings and their opponent is skinned out as Spider-Man, which is pretty funny. They all do webslinging around the buildings :) thwip thwip! They meet their match here and they all do the crazy flying ragdoll stunts through the air.

I'd say it would be kinda barfy in first person... It wouldn't be as funny anyway without seeing your character flail around.

They share sharting stories. I know the one about Ross in Little Tokyo alright but didn't know about the experience he had on a 14 hour flight! Must've been awful!

DEADLY PREMONITION PART 8 - LARRY MUSTACHE

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

Before the video there's an explanation about the audio issues this episode has. I think... is it one of the SuperMega guys that's speaking here? Anyway, it's nice of him to make this announcement.

Arin and Danny discuss the spelling of doughnut.

Was Tokyo Drift really the first movie about drifting?

Haha that Larry Mustache dialogue is pretty funny :)

That's pretty silly alright the way they just stand in the heavy rain! I guess it's an excuse to show off the wet effect on their clothes though. Graphics!

Freckly Fiona's kind of cute. It's just the unkind name the game gives her and the Xbox 360 graphics.

Wow, all those giant posters on the wall of individual chess pieces. I think it's safe to assume he plays games :)

The audio stuff isn't too bad in this episode... I haven't noticed anything strange anyway.

ABZU PART 5 - SWIMMING WITH WHALES

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2beRvlvHJM

Barry and Suzy lose their option fish again on the transition to a different area. Is it like a toll or something?

Aw those flower like creatures that close up when you talk to them. Barry making that not fitting in at a party joke sounds so sad! Aw!

Wow, swimming with whales :) that scene looks spectacular.

Whoa, those upside down electrifying pyramids look scary. Reminds me of the evil council from Kung Pow.

Yikes, more electric danger later on :(

Haha, giving the little crab a kiss :)

Funny how they say buttholes instead of caves.

Who is this shark friend? Suzy goes nuts when Barry delays helping him :)

Rainbow fish?

Yes, deep sea fish look unbelievably freaky :(

They should get more nautilus friends alright because the two they do have look lonely.

Friday 2 September 2016

GRUMP'S DREAM COURSE PART 2 - WHISPY WINK

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M0F8PKQpeI

Brian and Danny appear before the video to talk about their new song 6969 being released on iTunes and next week the music video will appear on the channel. Woo!

Arin and Danny are still stuck on the scorecard screen humming along with the awesome BGM tribute to one of their Starbomb songs. Dan's "Wood" course is there as well as a reference to the classic 7asses joke.

I like the wink Whispy Woods makes when Danny hits him in the back :) like he scratched an itch for him!

Ah, the next level starts out kinda tricky. Getting more fun :)
