    Or better, get Ross's dad.

    Oh my god imagine if Dan's dad said it.

    Although Ross's dad sounded pretty chill when they called him for Amazing World, so I'm sure they'd have to railroad it a bit.

    Still, the idea of having all the dad's on, maybe playing a couple of classic games and then like throwing them on something like Bloodbourne could be pretty awesome.

    I think an awesome idea for Father's Day is to have Arin and Danny's fathers do the grumping. Although in reality it would probably be ten minutes of awkward silence since the two men have probably met only a few times in passing.

    Better formula would be Arin and Lloyd.

    Arin and Dan play something and their dads sit in with them. That would be interesting I bet.

    Well each episode could be one of the guys (Arin, Dan, Ross) playing a game with their dad. Each with their own custom intro.

    On Dan's episode his dad should be, "Eh...kinda Grump."

    They need to add some low-key background music to table flip.

    The absolute silence in spaces is creepy.

    Just like........really low volume saloon piano music? I dunno.

    The Sonic 3 run is good, but I've noticed that it's mostly Arin and Ross talking while Jirad plays the game well.

    Basically, we finally got what we wanted.

    we'dve gotten what we wanted if it were Arin, Dan and Jon talking while Jirard played the game well and Ross was on a 20 year long self-discovery journey on the Australian outback.

    I really kind of want to play actual golf with Arin and Danny. It's like, guys I've got clubs and money lets go out and do this shit.

    But neither of them get drunk or smoke weed and that is what golfing in Washington entails these days.

    Still, real talk if you're playing at Par or Bogey you're good enough to be on the Tour.

    That's why you play putt putt golf ("mini-golf" to squares).

    If you can find one that has the moving pirate ships and weird crap it's better than a day at disneyland (also, a hole-in-one on the final hole should *always* give a free admission, and be correspondingly ridiculous to get).

    So Ross is actually just straight up incapable of letting someone tell a story, without first interrupting them to tell his own.

    For fucks sake, allow someone else relate an experience without preemptively one-upping them

    before I watch that

    how much am I going to want to kill Arin

  • ReynoldsReynolds Gone Fishin'Registered User regular
    I posted literally the entire discussion he has about Sonic right there. They say he's been quiet about it, he says he hates Sonic, gives that explanation, then they change topics.

    Basically they're baiting him to see if he'll go on a rant.

    Arin has been pretty good in the Sonic 3 series, probably because someone competent is playing it.

    Although Jared managed to nearly time out in Hydrocity, which is...impressive considering the time limit is 10 minutes.

    well he was going for all of the special stage rings and had a ross in his ear

    How reasonable the special stages are compared to Sonic 2 is one of the better things in Sonic 3. Guess which ones Sonic 4 ripped off (yet another mark against Sonic 4)?

    See, as far as S3&K goes is that if you don't have all seven S3 emeralds by the time the S&K half of the stages kicks in, you're fucked for the rest of the game. Jirard being "The Completionist" probably wanted to make sure he had all seven, since the special stage rings do have a tendency to become a bit more sparse as the stages go on.

    Particularly if you know you're going to be going through these special stages with Ross ADHD-ing in your ear for three hours, since I would think the Grumpcade episodes are done in one sitting to fit in everyone's schedules.

    Remember back when Arin and Danny were playing SMB3DW and they randomly remarked how there'd be a little Luigi sprite every now and then as they explored the game levels? Turns out there's a WHOLE LOT MORE of them in the game.

    The first 2 minutes of this episode is easily one of their best live sketches/commercial tie-ins. I was entertained, and hell, I love Crunchyroll.

    Just give him one of those little chess timers.

    Every time he talks it runs down.

    If he won't stop, then he ends up not being able to speak for half the episode.



    And every time he uses "like" he gets docked ten seconds.
