Back to Suzy, Cory and Chris for more cosy campfire time!
Cory shares his recurring dream. It's a bit too crazy to describe but it was inspired by the likes of the old tv show Reboot and video games.
They get stuck in the game so they go to find more stuff needed to progress.
Suzy and Cory talk about their fear of deep sea creatures. There are some freaky looking things down there.
Their conversation is the main draw of this series I think.

Super Mario Galaxy Part 71
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai2s03qkCMA
First post about Super Mario Galaxy! By gum, it's been a while since they played this goodness.
They open with Luigi and Toad impressions. The Toad domestic drama is pretty funny.
Arin and Danny have a pretty interesting conversation about comedy, stand-up comedy and how weird internet video comedy can be. Very nice and cosy conversation while they do a lava level. Danny looks up some jokes from the 1940s online and gets some weird results.
As Arin moves on to a water level Danny reads out jokes from joke books throughout the ages.
They sound nutty and the "pop" one sounds almost Dickensian! Are they real joke books or is that part of the joke too?

First post about Steam Rolled! They don't do these very often so this is a nice opportunity!
We join Ross, Barry, Arin and Suzy for this game. It all begins when Suzy accidentally quits the game and goes back to the Steam menu. Much laughing and groaning is had for a few minutes.
The game really begins with a four player splitscreen competition which looks like a cross between Star Fox and a planet in Super Mario Galaxy. It hasn't been released fully yet so there may be changes later I suppose.
Barry zaps all around and wins the first match easily. He wins the second one too and the third and... well he wins them all. A lot of raging follows!

Zelda A Link Between Worlds Part 37
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iazxhGFrvW0
First post about Link Between Worlds! Also the first post using the Game Grumps tag!
This is a wonderful series. Arin's played it before but this is Danny's first try and he plays through the game. Watching him go "whoa!" in surprise at all the cool stuff this game has to offer is a nice feeling! I knew they were going to play the game someday so I had to hurry and reach the ending myself before they did. It's without doubt one of the best recent Nintendo games.
We join Danny and Arin as they explore the desert using the sand rod. Poor Danny messes up a couple of times due to his huge thumbs so Arin steps in for a brief period to get them to the next weather vane and it's on into the next dungeon!
Danny feels bad about his thumbs but I think they're awesome. He is right about the 3DS being not the greatest controller ever though. Buttons are pretty small and circle pad can get slippery. He beats himself up a little too much about it but Arin comforts him. Aw!
Many sandy puzzles await and towards the end of the video they break into song. I have no idea what they're singing though!

I Spy Spooky Mansion and Ghoul Grumps wrap up!
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHGJCEh1LXM
The Wii had a lot of horror titles and it's amazing to see so many played this Halloween! We join Arin and Danny as they do comical Dracula impressions and name their character ZANUS. They also choose left-handed control as it's Danny that's playing.
My goodness that tiny skeleton host with the chipmunk voice is freaking adorable. Danny gives a comical shriek the first few times he sees it too. They way it pops from behind doors and chairs and then back is fun and creepy!
So this game is all about finding the hidden items from a list in the spooky house and solving basic puzzles. Family friendly stuff but it also has a very nice Halloweeny spirit.
Arin and Danny have a good time doing it and make tons of jokes at every turn.
Last Ghoul Grumps of the year. Gotta say it was packed with Halloween goodness. We laughed with fun at Dead Rising, our jaws dropped in awe with Deadly Creatures, things got very heavy and sad with SOMA, got a jump scare or two with Cursed Mountain, had a nice unwinding time with Spooky Cats and this and loads of Wii games were shown! A big thanks to them for getting us into the spirit. Suzy was also great since she was putting out Halloween themed videos as early as a month ago and doing the cosy campfire story thing with Chris and Cory when they all played Costume Quest.
Now I won't be as grumpy when Christmas stuff starts coming too early!

Barry and Ross play this unusual and cute looking adventure point and click game that has a kid whose head glows. Bizarre.
They seem genuinely fascinated by this game and all the weird stuff in it so it's more about hanging out and joining them in the weirdness than it is about making jokes(though there will be jokes!). It's cool how the kid's head is the only thing that has light coming from it, so when they look in the wardrobe for example, everywhere goes dark.
it's a very puzzle oriented game. The playthrough itself is like a mini Sierra playthrough except with Barry instead of Danny.
There's one pretty cool room where these hands reach out and grab you. They look like floormasters from Wind Waker but not quite as blood curdling. It turns out though that they only want to grab the lightbulb head part of you so you can make your head detach and bounce across the chandeliers to get across the room. Ross and Barry note how it bounces along like the ball on song lyrics as you listen to one.
After the cutscene in the park, Ross makes this excellent groaner of a joke about the kid going to the bathroom. You'll know when you hear it and you will groan!
There's some really gross stuff in the fridge.
Then they have to deal with a giant headless turkey. They quickly hide from it using the bin or by using the pig's head. What they have to do here is cook something in order to bait the giant creature into the flaming oven.
Their next encounter with a big creature is a poo monster in the bathroom. Here they have to use almost everything in sight in order to break its mask and explode into bits.
And that's the game! I think that was the whole game anyway. Wow it's weird.

Cursed Mountain Part 2
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PJkrRDIqok
Back with Arin and Danny in the deserted town along with the walkthrough where the first line is "Run a lot. It'll make the game a lot more bearable".
Beware of the jump scare! That was a genuine scream Danny let out too!
Exploring the town more, they make many more jokes, hear other noises and eventually find an actual human being that lives there to speak with. They have a big belly laugh when this monk appears and looks back at them with a line Danny gives him.
Arin teases a part 3 but Danny is all like "please no". Oh well, looks like Halloween festivities is wrapping up for another year!
