Popular Post Soniman Posted August 4, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) "Hey i'm grump" "Im not so grump!" "And we're the Game Grumps!!" Figure I just create a sepreate topic for this instead of using the Jontron topic for updates. Basically Game Grumps is a glorious combination of internet celebrites Jontron and Egoraptor, who commentate on various games they play together. One could call it a let's play channel (even thought Egoraptor outright refuses to call it that) and a very hilarious one at that. There really is no coherrence to any of the jokes they make on the channel, all you need to know is that it's really really hilarious. Almost every episode ive seen thus far has managed to make me laugh, some even had me in tears. It's not like they're even really trying, they're just a couple of goofballs who have fun playing vidya games, and to me, that's what makes the show fun. And the fandom knows this, considering that it hasnt been a month and already they're are tons of hilarious fan works, most notably in the music category, if you haven't heard such jaunty tunes such as "Pause Balls" and "Poppy Bros", then what are you doing here? Go listen to them now! Update: Jon left the show to focus on his own stuff, so now we have a new guy to replace him, Dan from NinjaSexParty. Along with the regular Game Grumps show we've got Dan teaming up with Ross from RubberRoss to form the Steam Train, where they play PC games old and new. Here are the most recent videos E-enjoy?

Wentos Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 To be honest, I don't see much appeal. I haven't watched Jontron, but I've watched Egoraptor and really like him. The thing is, it just feels like another Let's Play channel. Other than the novelty of who's playing, nothing makes it stand out much to me. Except maybe the orange borders on the gameplay videos. Ugh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Speederino Posted August 4, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2012 I freakin' love Game Grumps. It works so well because these two have such a great chemistry. One of them will crack a good joke and the other will play off of it like a pro, turning a simple joke into some kind of beautiful, beautiful improv skit. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The drunkard from space! Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I've seen all their videos so far and I can say that their the funniest let's play (Don't care what Egoraptor says It IS a let's play channel) channel ever to grace the interwebz!

Snatcher2047 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm a huge fan of both and their senses of humor really blend well together. They could make a joke that doesn't make any sense at all but make it hilarious in their delivery. I'm currently in the middle of their Kirby SNES gameplay and I can't stop laughing.

Popular Post Carbo Posted August 4, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2012 I watch Game Groomps every day with Toast. Some fantastic evenings to be spent, as far as LP channels go it's one of the best. But by far one of the greatest things about it is the material that the fans create about it. Apparently they're making one with Conker's Bad Fur Day? Looking forward to that one immensely. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregzilla Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 This is easily my favorite game commentary channel ever (sorry Brainscratch crew). I just love how in sync they are, especially when they burst into song. It's like they share one beautiful brain. They were already some of my favorite people individually (JonTron is my favorite internet personality), and they are just as hilarious together. They make me laugh out loud on a regular basis, something almost no shows can do. And for the record, I think this is my favorite remix. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endy Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Egoraptor, stop doing something fun and get back to making cartoons, slave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LATER BUDDY Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I've been watching this pretty religiously to be honest, XD. It's fun to watch the two just act so casually while playing games, since it reminds me of the rare times I get to do this with my best friend from back home. Almost every single episode I'm laughing out loud, or damn right losing my shit haha. Kinda wish they'd hurry up with Emerald though. I have a feeling they won't finish it, but I'd like them to at least pick up the pace a bit. Goof Troop is probably my favorite one to watch, but I'm kinda torn with Kirby too, since every single Kirby one so far has me giggling like a school girl.

Nick Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I love Egoraptor's stuff, but I'm not very familiar with Jontron.But this should be enjoyable. Edited August 5, 2012 by Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychic Hedgehog Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I like JonTron's reviews and Egoraptor makes some relatively good animations, but it's obviously just another YT Partner acount made with the soul intention of making money and nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even enjoyment? Just because people may want to make money doesn't mean they usually do these things solely for money. And besides, if it brought us something good, who cares why they did it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LATER BUDDY Posted August 6, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2012 Honestly, I wish I could make a living by waking up at the crack of noon, playing games all day with a best friend, joking about how Proto-man told them to burn down a forest. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\gunther Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Since the channel started, these guys have made everyday worthwhile. I dare you to watch an episode without cracking a smile. Also, because of Game Grumps, I feel super compelled to buy Goof Troop off of ebay right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soniman Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Its pretty entertainig to see Jon go fucking bonkers over this game. Ironically, Ive seen him mention Banjo Tooie all of one time during his entire tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendary Emerald Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm not actually a big fan of Banjo Kazooie. I like how the game feels, in regards to movement and pulling off all of your skills. I like how you aren't booted out of a world after completing a single objective, which makes the game flow much smoother than any 3D Mario title. And I think the music is pretty catchy and enjoyable, though nowhere near the level of the DKC games. However, I absolutely hate, hate, HATE having to collect notes. It's necessary to collect almost all of the notes in every level in order to pass the note doors in Gruntilda's castle. But every time you die in a level, the notes re-spawn and you have collect them all over again if you want to beat your previous note score on that level. This means you have to collect all 100 notes in each level in one life. Now, it's not a particularly challenging game, but dying isn't a foreign occurrence. This is absolutely infuriating game design, and I cannot forgive it. Every time I've tried to play through the game, the notes system has managed to sour the entire experience for me and force me to quit. I eagerly look forward to Egoraptor discovering this horrifying feature as he plays through the game. He has such a great eye for game design; I can't imagine he will be able to overlook such a flaw.

Speederino Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) The notes are maybe my only gripe with the game. Thankfully they improved that in Banjo-Tooie. I'd be curious to hear Jon's thoughts on Grunty's Revenge. Why has everyone forgotten that game's existence? It wasn't a classic, but it's still more of a true Banjo game then Nuts and Bolts.

I eagerly look forward to Egoraptor discovering this horrifying feature as he plays through the game. He has such a great eye for game design; I can't imagine he will be able to overlook such a flaw. Egoraptor is a bit too obsessed with retro game design for it to hold much of a significant meaning in quite a lot of games that stand up on their own and he's better at comparing games rather than judging their merits. The part in the video where he criticized the game for locking your moves if you chose to do the tutorial strikes me as a really superficial detail that doesn't really matter and I don't see why it should be marked down as something against it's favor. Honestly upon my first replay so many years after I first got it, the note collecting in this game really isn't that bad as you can easily breeze through a multitude of the levels with a fair amount of notes that can last you roughly two doors, and this is even setting aside the fact that I completely forgot where most of them were located. By the time I finished the game I didn't even need to collect half the notes in Click Clock Wood and Rusty Bucket Bay to get to the last level. Where it all became a problem though was in Banjo-Tooie where levels were so interconnected, obtuse and filled to the brim with padded content that it embodied some of the worst traits of fifth generation gaming. The upside of games like Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie was that like most games in starting points of generations they focus less on padding and more on concise structure, and BK is probably the most concise and tight 3D platformer crafted on that end as the levels are varied and structured such a way that you reach so many notes easily while on your adventure for Jiggies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
