Best Of Game Grumps - May 2016

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqZZQCnkmH4

Many magic moments of May here, including the "Thrust But Hole" moment in Dark Souls III!

"You're not me" is also brilliant and so simple too! Wow... there was so much 1916 stuff here over the last month. Very important of course.

I still love that Onion article Danny reads out! I still haven't gotten round to reading it regularly. I really should.

The fire extinguisher mistaken for a door mechanism in Doom was classic!

Danny's clown laugh is awesome :)

Lots of screamy Arin freakouts during Dark Souls III too.

SHANTAE AND THE PIRATE'S CURSE PART 12 FINALE - DARK SCUTTLE TOWN

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

Ray and Ross reveal the entrance to the Abandoned Factory dungeon.

Ross talks about Gameoverse and about turning 30 soon. What can I tell him about it? It just happens. They talk about Twitch emoticons and Newgrounds pop culture references too.

That's a cool cannon shooting move that they have now where you shoot down and rise upwards as you do.

Ah so Scuttle Town's all dark and spooky now and it plays the nighttime music from the original game too! Pretty cool :)

The field is all dark and silhouette-y and cool looking.

The last level looks much more difficult than the rest of the game. It's kinda like how Wario's Castle was so much more difficult than the rest of the levels in Super Mario Land 2.

Ray makes short work of the boss and that's it! Game crushed!

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Part 11 - Twerk Request

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87BH7zu_nio

Ray and Ross head back to the desert with their new dashing ability and do some subquest. It's awesome seeing them bulldoze through previously explored areas! I love doing that in games :)

They talk about Holly's April 1st video. It's really funny :)

They talk a bit about Super Mario Maker when they come across a hard part of the level near Propeller Town as it reminds Ross of a level he made. I can still hear Dan and Arin's anguished cries! Ross' levels are pretty popular online. He's on my Follow list but I don't like playing his levels!

Love that twerking at the end with Shantae and Rottytops! Well requested Ross! You guys have made a lot of people happy ending on that note!

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Part 10 - High Speed Hitstop

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

Ray and Ross are back after a break they took where they went to a sweet arcade. They get the boots which gives them a great fast running ability. I love that hitstop/sticky friction thing when Shantae breaks a block while running.

Cool boss Dagron (the misspelled monstrosity) here! Ray makes short work of it cos he's a pro!

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Part 9 - Baracknophobic Memory

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOd-SB9PG1A

Ray and Ross venture to the boggy island and Ross is awestruck by it all!

They talk about the life changing experience that is heated toilet seats and about Ross' crazy travelling schedule recently.

That story about Ross falling asleep and telling the Baracknophobic joke sounds very familiar! I definitely heard something like that on the show before! I bet Danny told it.

I agree Ross, how would he have known that? That ground looks like any other ground. I'm not crazy about walls(or floors in this case) that don't have "tells" or any kind of clue that there's a secret beyond. Not crazy about that at all. If you had a map then that's grand though.

That's interesting about a game with bad animation ruining the game experience for someone. I remember the Happy Mask Salesman in Majora's Mask being really weird when he jerks from one gesture to another. Ocarina Of Time just didn't have that jerkiness at all. So yeah, I'd agree (even though that didn't ruin Majora's Mask). Same with sound too if a game's sound was bad.

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Part 8 - Fresh As Daisies

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

Ray and Ross talk about the break they had to take due to all the footage they recorded from all the recent guests. Can't wait to watch the episode with Rob Schneider!

That's a really awkward place for a Heart Squid to be...

They beat the Squid Baron, grab some collectibles and get ready for the next island. Ahoy!

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Part 7 - Achievements and MMOs

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2reFTR0ZMyk

Ray and Ross enter a stealth section! Shantae's all dressed up in a way that'll get people talking.

Ray talks about the Xbox Gamerscore. I knew about it but I learned a lot from Ray talking about it here and giving examples of stuff that you can do. Ross' awe is mine too!

They rescue the other girls in the place. I didn't know Sky was a blonde! Though you don't often see her hair. I did recognise her straight away though!

Ross talks about MMO RPGs he used to play growing up. I've heard about some of them but don't know any of them. That one with 50 player capacity sounds awesome and cosy!

He also talks about his love of grinding. It's one of the great mysteries of gamers isn't it?

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Part 6 - Ross The Man vs. Ross The Let's Player

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2reFTR0ZMyk

Ray and Ross touch on the renovations that are gonna take place in the Grump Office. They talk more about streaming too. I wonder how the dynamic will change when Ross puts walls around his desk? We'll soon see I suppose.

They talk more about livestreaming and Ray makes more progress, increasing stamina and heading to the next island!

They have a little behind the scenes talk too about performing on a Let's Play and how different it is to working on a livestream.

Man, those statues are tricky. So cute though :)

Yeah the island system thing is cool. Other games have this kind of system too.

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Part 5 - Life and Livestreaming

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q73i0gakxpU

Ray and Ross continue through the dungeon. It has the same tune as the first game's first dungeon! I kinda forget if this is the default tune of all the dungeons of the series.

They talk about the Grump Office and about how lucky and thankful they are to be able to make a living doing this stuff. It's nice :)

Ah, they say C.V. in Australia too. Interesting.

Some of Ross' family thinks he reviews games for a living. Some people in my life think I review games as a hobby when I tell them I blog about games! But no, not especially. I just like doing the text commentary on my game sessions.

I love Ross' support of fellow artists :)

Interesting story about his Justin.tv partnership.

This dungeon is pretty cool! Love that wind blowing the hat upwards!

Very nice of Ray to give livestreaming advice and so cool to hear Ross and him discuss various points about it!

Shantae And The Pirate's Curse Part 4 - Run Shantae Run!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymqyIoDf4mo

Ray and Ross talk about the content creation on both of their shows and compare them. It's kinda interesting. I like the sound of the way the Grumps do it. Ross then talks about how he makes money through Twitch donations. Hmmm... sounds interesting. Ray does a Twitch show too.

Really interesting to hear them be able to do stuff they love full time with the support of the awesome. I'd like to be able to do that someday.

That running segment with Shantae and Rottytops was kinda fun.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse Part 3 - Shiny Happy Girls Reflecting Sunshine

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIv0gCU5w8E

Ray and Ross get the Petrify spell after a fun event with shiny skinned girls in bikinis. Very cute! They make their way to the grieving bearded man and he turns himself to stone. :/ it breaks way to the first dungeon but.... still....

Ross tells a nice story about "Buglord". He also uses his Australian Siri to say fun stuff! He also misses his wife Holly terribly since she went on a trip! Especially when he talks about all the pigeon stuff he has to do! He gives a voice to the Squid Baron too and it's pretty sweet! If you can imagine a giant baby, that's what it sounds like!

Ray's pretty handy at this game! I love Metroidvanias and really should make a diary about one some day.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse Part 2 - First Island

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vwr2ZpTXJg

Ross and Ray welcome Tina to talk about her experience in keeping pigs. Ross then talks about the 50+ pets that he and Holly keep. Yikes.

I never actually used the spike ball in Risky's Revenge. It reminds me of the followers in Pop'n Twinbee. I should.

Yes, all 3 Shantae platformers are in the Metroidvania style :)

Rottytops is the girl's name :)

I love seeing Ross discover Shantae through this video series! It's so awesome :) If he thinks the level select looks cool, he should see the town navigation from the first game. That was incredibly cool.

Jake Kaufman I'm sure did the music for this game.

Love those attractive statues coming up out of the ground! Games like this celebrate that kind of thing and it gives me a happy feeling and I love that :)

Ooo those waterfall chompy things I hate from the first game are here too... they don't seem to be as horrible here though.

Ah I'd love to have this game on a cartridge or something.... I love the previous two Shantae games.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse Part 1 - Finally! Shantae!

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8_ZZVy9c2U

Yay for Shantae appearing on the channel! Ross is playing the third game with Ray Narvaez Jr. He's a pro at the game.

No Ross, please don't do that voice! :O

But yeah, Shantae was always really cute :)

We don't really have those redemption games here... 

Ross, that manga you're trying to think of is likely to be Initial D! I never played Kingdom Hearts either.

Yup, that twerk booty shake was always in the series, even in the GBC original!  So cute!
