    Honestly Papyrus is probably the biggest emotional hurdle.

    Yeah. You'd think they couldn't make you feel worse than Toriel did. You'd be wrong.

    Assuming they can even get past Undyne the Undying and Sans. They skipped the pie, ate one of the snowman pieces, and I'm betting they're going to ignore the noodles.

    I think Barry can beat Undyne. She's hard but manageable.

    Sans is a downright bastard of a fight, and I assume we'll at least see the series take a break while they learn it.

    oh hey a grump thread!

    i love the grumps.

    also, arin needs to level another goddamn weapon in bloodborne seriously, he was so excited about some of them and then he just completely ignores them?

    the hell, arin?

    it's dull from a watcher perspective to be sure (especially since there are so many cool weapons in the game), but there's nothing actually wrong with the weapon, and it's always going to be easier to stick with what you're comfortable with

    that said, his tendency to stick with what he's comfortable with is probably a good chunk of why the DLC is giving him such a hard time

    i'm kind of amazed that he's pushed through as far as he has seemingly without having learned a blessed thing about the game

    The Grumps have left Polaris / Maker. Here's their manager Brent confirming it.

    So, no more Table Flip (at least in its current form) but the Grumps are basically independent now.

    I imagine a lot of youtubers are going to be leaving Maker in the next month or two. Some of the Yogscast have said their contract is up in March and at least one of them won't be renewing. They really pissed them off with their Shazam bullshit.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    Quick search shows that Shazam is some audio site that can tell you the name/artist for a song after hearing just a few seconds of it. One of the main complaints in this Maker stuff seems to be them telling channels to make any video private that they 'might' get in trouble for, where they sing/play/etc. any copyrighted music. So I'd guess they run the episodes through Shazam to see if it picks up.

    Yeah, Jesse Cox and Hannah from the Yogs have made videos about it. Maker were basically running their videos through Shazam, and then telling people to private any video that had a positive. Hannah in particular said she offered to take any responsibility for copyright marks, and that she'd handle it all and Maker STILL refused and told her that they had to be made private.

    I'm led to believe Maker has kinda dicked around a lot of people who used to be on Blip. Taking ages to confirm transitions and stuff.

    I swear I feel like the Ross always brings the conversation into "wrong" territory. The videos are almost always full of cursing and talk about grabbing a porn page from his buddy that had some leftover...substance... on it.

    The weird thing is, Pewdiepie, Markiplier, JSE, CinnamonToastKen, and a few others just formed a group called Revelmode which is part of Maker. So not everyone is leaving it.

    Between PewDiePie and Mark, they make enough for an MCN to cover alot of the legal fees. And I doubt Maker wants to lose Pewds considering he is the golden cow of Youtube. They haven't given the specifics but I imagine this is the MCN that Pewds wanted to make that is more for the content creators.

    Maybe the Grumps will join or they'll go independent like SeaNanners did when he created JetPack as an MCN that helps younger talent grow. Probably because of some of the bad taste Machinama leaves in just about all their former employees mouths.

    today's bloodborne
    arin does pretty well against orphan... if he just ever used his fucking gun or backstabbed, he probably could have beaten it (and he's only tried like once or twice at this point)

    also it sounds like they're going to skip the optional boss (and/or completely ignorant of its existence), so that's that then.

    Yeah, a LOT of people aren't happy with them right now. I know Nostalgia Chick had a falling out, and I think Todd in the Shadows did as well.

    From what I hear you don't get paid shit for CA unless you're a big tick person. It's purely a "Well, we'll put you on our site and get you traffic." sort of thing. And they micromanage a lot of shit.

    Maybe that's changed since the mass exodus, but Grumps are not heading there.

    I am behind this because it would be a perfect fit and they could become Voltron with the Funhaus guys. Also, because it would increase my chances of meeting the grumps if they were in Austin...

    Game Grumps join Penny Arcade and switch from video to posting text LPs in the forum.
    Their burgey gifs frequently go over the size limit and they are banned.

    Normal Boots isn't a multi-channel network with all the benefits that entails (copyright protection and so on), it's basically just a means of cross-promotion for the channels that are a part of it, so I don't really see that happening.

    I think the Grumps will just stay independent from now on.
