Game Grumps (aka Egoraptor plays some games)

I bet it will happen sooner or later. It's a.) well-animated, which Arin will like, and b.) ridiculously hard*, which will make Arin rage.

Although, have they ever played an Xbox One game? Do they even have an Xbox One? (I guess they could go buy one if they wanted.) If they play it on PC, does it become the return of Steam Train?

*That's what I hear, at least. I own it, but I haven't had time to play it at all.

They played uhm, leisure Suit Larry on the Xbox(I would assume Xbox One emulation?). No reason to think they don't have an Xbox available.

I don't think LSL is backwards compatible for Xbox One. I did a search, and couldn't find anything. They probably played it on a 360.

Regardless, you are right. If they want to play on Xbox One, they could easily do it, even if they had to go buy one. I was mostly curious if we've ever seen them play something that was clearly on Xbox One, because nothing comes to mind.

I don't think they care about whether it's PC or not anymore.

GameGrumps is more the Danny+Arin combination than the platforms they use. Plus Danny plays old PC games on the Grumps side all the time. I think they just gave up caring about a distinction when they dropped the center slot. I mean Steam Train disappeared when they started calling everything with more than 2 people "GrumpCade" whether it was a PC or a console game.
 
Lets do this :D

And there's Cuphead.

Not sure if I'm gonna watch, kind of want to eventually play it and I don't want to spoil all the great art.
 
Ugh watched the Arin and Jon playthrough of Contra III and holy crap Dan is bad at games. Like Jon and Arin aren't great, but holy crap Dan is bad.

Also Arin told Dan that the boss of stage 3 was the farthest he's ever got but him and Jon beat stage 4 lol.
 
Dan is a lapsed gamer so don't expect him to be good at anything other than NES and old PC games lol

It's really really hard to call him a lapsed gamer when he's been on game grumps for 5 years now.

He's just not a hardcore one. He still obviously follows game news and trends, but he's more of your girlfriend who mostly just likes to watch.

Also didn't he play shadow of the colossus?

I meant more in the sense of before the Grumps. The games they play on the show are basically all new to him.
Quit the Dan bashing. Dan is better than Jon in every way.
You're not exactly setting a high bar here but yes.
 
I mean, Dan is also being better than Arin at Cuphead, so there's that! That also has a dash and special moves button! (and they're not using either...)

Yeah. I think Dan is clearly better than Arin in Cuphead. But I get the feeling Arin's doing the "I suck at games because it's funny for the audience" thing.
 
The Contra 3 run has been great because it's one of the few times that the roles have reversed with Dan being the grump and Arin not-so-grump.

Also it's hard to do well in a game you clearly don't like so I wouldn't judge Dan's skills on a single game.

Racism aside, Jon still had some good Grump moments I will still cherish from the early days. (Goof Troop and the 3 world speed run of Super Mario Land with the unexpected reset at the end off the top of my head.)

But Danny is just delightful day in and day out without having to yell or make random noises like Jon used to. A lot of the time Jon would force Arin to stop playing a game because he was a whiny bored baby, but Danny seems to be more likely to convince Arin to keep going and knows exactly when to call it a series when he notices they're not enjoying it anymore.

I want to be Danny's bestest friend.

Arin deliberately setting Dan up for That Moment in Shadow of the Colossus was hilarious. Dan was so upset.
 
I love Contra III and I beat it with my best friend from middle school. Now? I'd never beat it without cheats. It's a hard fucking game.

People are hating on Dan? Is it because of him not liking Contra III? It's fine if he doesn't like it. Arin doesn't like a lot of games the majority of "gamers" like.

I am really enjoying these co-op games. Please don't be dicks and scare Dan off from playing on the show.
 
My 2 cents: I miss the moments when Arin could get in-depth in discussing games and pass the controller back and forth at a whim. Not to say Danny isn't an overall positive change for the show, but it's much more uncommon for them to be engaging with the game than in the Jon days, it feels like.
 
If they want to play it they have to talk about it. There is no other way. Would lose a whole lot of respect for them if they sweeped it all just under a rug. The dude you built your empire with is a massive racist. No gettign away from that, especially if you now actually show a product he stars in.

Thats how I feel. Like maybe, maybe they dont know Jontron has a voice in the game. Doubtful but its gonna be a huge fucking elephant in the room if they ignore it.
 
According to some dude on reddit who went to one of their live shows, Arin and Dan aren't exactly cool with Jon's beliefs.

It's possible that they'll completely miss talking to Jon's character in the game, but if they don't then it'd be pretty awkward if they didn't address things there.

Interesting. They definitely haven't made it clear previously, but last time they were close to even talking was the star wars ad Jontron did. Man, it must suck for Arin though. He's blamed for Jontron leaving Game Grumps, he was viewed as the 'bad guy' for a while, and he's probably continually bugged about it.

Yeah, I feel bad for Arin. I can't imagine how it felt to find out a good friend harbors such hateful views.
 
Okay so I wasn't prepared to see legit porn stars in the new NSP video.
There are only two days you know they are porn stars, either you watched them in porn, or you watched the video where they tell you they are porn stars in their newest video. Either way, you probably knew.

I’m completely expecting an awkward silence and completely pretending he doesn’t recognize the voice. I doubt he’d bring it up on the show itself just because of he comments that will already be there. Best to pretend it’s just another voice and move on. I mean maybe Arin already knows exactly what character it is and will purposely avoid it. There’s no way Arin doesn’t know he’s in it so there’s no way he didn’t consciously choose to play it knowing this. So he’ll probably just avoid the character if it’s not a story requirement. (Is it?)
