    Mark seems like a shoe-in for Grumpcade (which more or less seems like it's replaced Guest Grumps). Other peeps i would like to see make a Grumps appearance: Ninja Brian, OneyNG, Mega64, Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter folks, maybe a segment with Barry and his brother for maximum Kramer action.

    What do you mean? Ninja Brian has been in every single episode of all Game Grumps and related videos, ever!

    I figure more Polaris people would be Grumpcade guests. Maybe like Angry Joe and whatnot.

    Hey, never said I wanted that, lol. Just thought it was a possibility.

    Though I've never heard the Grumps mention him, so maybe not since they may be apathetic to each other.

    I want to see their Bloodborne videos, but one of these days, whenever I finally [and will] purchase a PS4, I want delve into it with a fresh perspective.

    In this latest ep of Bloodborne Arin plays well and knows exactly what he is talking about pretty much all the time.

    It's weird.

    I think that's the core of why Game Grumps play kind of poorly in their games, and Best Friends gets lots of respect for their competency. I think it comes down to the personal investment in their choice of game.

    Best Friends almost exclusively play games that at the very least one of them have a significant interest in already. Games that they are interested and want to play. Game Grumps on the other hand play a lot of different games in order to just make content and never have any significant stake in playing it so they don't really care about being good on a personal level.

    Between the two, Grumps are the much funnier. If I had to choose between comedy vs competence I go for the funniest.

    With the best friends its really the game they play. Pat and Woollie are definately better souls players so their playthroughs of Souls and Bloodborne are must watches for me. That and they can bring a lot of the lore knowledge to games that I might not have known. Pat and Matt playing Silent Hill 2 was good for that. They just need those games they are passionate about. Grumps bring a lot of that old school gaming flavor and just the random banter makes it good background noise to watch. Not to mention when one of them are just naturals at the game. Ninja Gaiden and Punch Out being the standouts for both Arin and Danny.

    The Best Friends bring the comedy and the competence consistently.

    I find the Grumps to be waaaayyyyyy more hit and miss.

    I find the "two best sisters" videos and the short one-offs they do to be goddamn hilarious.

    Their regular stuff, though, I don't really find funny at all. Interesting, yes, but none of it really makes me laugh.


    Edit: Which is also my summation of Zack and Wiki with Suzy/Barry. Interesting. Not funny.

    After watching the AVGN video about Michael Jackson's Moonwalker video I have come to the decision that the Grumps need to play this game. Dan will just lose his shit about this game.

    I tried TBF a couple of times but I didn't like they yell in to the microphone all the time as if they're in a bar instead of talking like the Grumps do.

    Pat only has two settings. Calmly explaining complicated trivia and game design notes and SCREAMING IN PURE RAGE.

    The Thing that gets me about that gag is that "Waitress with a plate of Pokeballs who battles you instead of taking your order" is 100% a thing. Then the next two parts are golden.

  • AstaleAstale Registered User regular
    Some of the nonsense they say is just close enough to tongue-in-cheek that I think the translators must have been doing it on purpose.

    Especially those swimmers.

    Sure, but some of the lines in the earlier games are just plain weird.

    For me, the Best Friends are best when they are hyped beyond belief for something. Especially when it's Woolie-hype, because that dude's hype is infectious.

    I watch the Super Best Friends because I identify with their hype and rage whenever they play their games. Their jokes are basically just icing on the cake, as compared to Game Grumps where the jokes are the cake and the gameplay is really just the biscuit base.

    Comparing the two is probably inevitable - but I like both approaches equally (though I do tend to prefer the former these days in order to influence my purchasing decisions) and both make me gain an inordinate amount of weight.

    Also, I'm hungry.

    Consistency is the word. Best Friends are consistently at a 8 or 9, wheras Grumps can be anywhere from 1 to goddamned 11. So I tend to watch most of Best Friends, and only like, Best Ofs or Animateds of the Grumps now.

    That fuckin' MARK ZUCKERBERG thing is still cracking me up.

    Oh brilliant

    When it comes to the Grumps, I prefer to listen to them. There is the occasional exception, like the Mario 64 videos where half of the humor is Arin royally fucking up simple things (Tall, Tall Mountain), where I would actually watch the video. If I want to see good game-play I go elsewhere.

    The best reason to watch GG is for Barry & Kevin's edits, honestly. Or the occasional play session where seeing something makes the joke (some sonic boom stuff, hey big zam etc.)

    The tonal dissonance between Mister Hanson's relative skill at Bloodborne and Ninja Gaiden compared to his ineptitude at Mario 64 can be explained by the Military-Industrial Complex.[/Dale]

    Shia Labouf and Swedish chef. How have I never thought of that!?

    Despite a weak start to the episode, today's Dankey Kang was actually pretty good. Some interesting stories.

    I like that they have started mention Jon from time to time, because it allows them to talk a lot more about the early days of Grumps, and other things we might never have known about.

    It's good know how Ross and others were involved in the Grumps' early creation.

    The only thing I distinctly remember is how Jon and Arin first met (at a con, I believe) and were fans of each other, then simply on a whim just played games together over some Dr. Pepper.

    It took me a while to figure out that these people have nothing to do with game grumps. They're music people. They set lyrics to video game music, remix themes, and stuff like that.

    As far I know, Brent knows Jon, and has been in one of his videos as well.
