Who's the special guest?
This could be so much better if they created a second stream just for Grant on another livestream site like Hitbox.tv (in addition to keeping the twitch for the 20k people). This stream wouldn't have the forced 1 minute delay of Twitch but instead have ~5 seconds delay and Grant could actually commentate on what is happening on the stream outside of only guessing though the audio. Setup would just be running another copy of the program they are using to stream to Twitch and setting up an account on the other site.
No way to contact anyone though and chat isn't read so this sadly won't happen.

Grant Kirkhope just returned.
Stream is pretty entertaining mostly.

Bumping this just to ask the same question. Was it recorded? Anyone have a video link they'd like to share with the class?
Since Jon's last couple of reviews have been themed, what theme/series would you want to see him review next?
I'd like to see him review Fighting Games next. The amount of shit-tier Street Fighter 2 ripoffs out there is staggering.
It also gives him a chance to talk about Strip Fighter.

I'd like to see his thoughts on the Toys to life games. In one of the old Grumps videos, I spotted a few Skylanders on one of their entertainment centers. It'd be neat for him to talk about Skylanders, Infinity and then maybe some amiibo stuff.
More Kinect games. There's probably a fair amount of comically bad Kinect stuff. Someone get the guy that Hulk Hogan game.
Or maybe doujin fighting games. I'm really just looking for an excuse for him to review Arm Joe.

No fucking joke, Jon needs to do an album. His singing voice is distinct and has a lot of charisma to it. I mean music is subjective and all, but the guy that replaced him in Game Grumps who actually has a band is eh.
I so want that. Guy can sing, whether he's trying to be funny or not.

So he's going to do a full cover of that? Oh god, I don't know how I lived without it before. I don't know how I'll be able to live until it comes out.
JonTron. Release it now.

Something spooky/Halloween themed. Maybe like a creepypasta games theme or a Metroid theme.
Oh, I'd love Jontron to do a horror game episode :-D

you can't put a price on sparks
i just started watching this channel. he's like a less cringe-worthy angry video game nerd, but funny and experimental with the videos at the same time. i honestly don't even know who he is or why he is so popular.
i'm sure someone has mentioned it, but he sounds a lot like Nathan Lane, its arguably the hook that got me to keep watching.

he's been popular because people enjoy his persona and his reviews. He became REALLY popular with Game Grumps, where he became a bit more youtube video game geek mainstream since he played games with Egoraptor.

I love Jon so much, I honestly think he's my favorite gaming personality. It's inspiring to watch shows like Jontron or AVGN and think about learning how to produce your own show.
As a side note; does anyone else think that Jontron's quality has only increased exponentially since leaving Game Grumps? I love the older episodes, but the newer Jontron's just seem to have extra polish to them.

I think that's because he gets help writing/filming from Paul Richie from Continue Show.
The Continue Guys are so awesome. I hope Jon works with them more. I need Jon on Dom and Josh's podcast, Fantasy Fiction.
I feel like he became the most popular when he left Game Grumps and starting making videos consistently. I liked Game Grumps when he was on, but I like JonTronShow more, and he really only got like, 2 or 3 videos out while he was on Grumps.

I'm not arguing what's his best work. I'm saying that while he was on Game Grumps subscriptions to his channel rose and his name became more well known, then he left and people respected him for it which made him a bit more popular, and now he is more consistent with his game schedule.
Yeah, I agree. I think the quality of his work's always been consistent also, while my favorite review is still probably his Nightshade video, the videos he made before that and continue to make are still really funny. His comedic timing is really brilliant, I think.
Hey guys, uh, little unusual request here, anyone know what video Jon did some sort of slow clap in? Don't really know how else to describe it, I just want a gif of it really bad.

I'm assuming you meant to write 'more' in there because he has already reviewed some. Like 3 or so.
... I think you're confusing AYAOTD with Goosebumps bro.
Admiral Woofington

Oh shit. Lol. Guess hazy nostalgia mixed the two together.
The Real Abed

They're completely different.
AYAOTD is so much better.
Just follow him on Twitter. And YouTube with email notifications. Don't rely on a discussion thread to tell you when something updates.
WAY better. There were even a couple of damn good episodes.
The Tale of The Quicksilver was pretty good but the makeup on the demon that they had was simple but extremely effective.
The Midnight Madness episode had great oldschool Nosferatu makeup.
A couple of episodes even had some blood.

Dead Man's Float was creepy:
And being a guy that was raised on Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Monsters and Tales from the Darkside, both AYAOTD and Goosebumps were tame, but I think AYAOTD was a bit more disturbing.
Can't believe I missed it when watching the stream. I don't care what anyone says about it being annoying on Game Grumps, Jon can fucking sing.

That episode even had a death I think. The clown episode was perfect. We never actually see this clown (possesed by a dead bank robber I think) move around but we see him try to get to this kid who took his nose. Will definitely freak out dudes who are afraid of clowns.

I watched his cameo then promptly closed the video. Because I can't stand Nostalgia Critic now.

Wow. JonTron and Nostalgia Critic (NormalBoots and TGWTG) are two universes I never would have expected to collide in a million years. That would be like if GameGrumps acknowledged the existence of RedLetterMe---oh wait.
The scene at 9:05 made me just lose it. This is probably his best video in a while.
This was a very good episode and this game looks amazing for a SNES game.
