Game Grumps is one of the most popular Let's Play channels on Youtube - it currently has about 4.5 million subscribers and has been consistently active for over five years. They usually upload two 10-15 minute videos every day.
But who are these Game Grumps, anyway?
Arin "Arin" Hanson, also known as Egoraptor, is one of the founding members of Game Grumps. Before creating the channel, he was mostly known as an animator and a voice actor, which he still does occasionally. You might have seen his Sequelitis videos or his Awesome series.
Now that he's a professional Let's Player, he gets to dazzle an audience of millions with his amazing video game skills every day.
Leigh Daniel "Danny Sexbang" Avidan is the other main member of Game Grumps. He joined the channel back in 2013. He's in a comedy rock band called Ninja Sex Party alongside Ninja Brian. Not much of a gamer himself on account of him being 74 years old and having huge gross thumbs, he's only good at about five games, all of which are old NES games.
Ross "RubberNinja" O'Donovan joined Game Grumps alongside Dan back in 2013. Together, they hosted a show called Steam Train where they played PC games together. Steam Train has since been discontinued and Ross has mostly stepped back from being active on the channel. He is still in the occasional video, but these days he want back to his initial passion of being an animator. He's currently working on an his own animated show called Gameoverse.
Brian "Ninja Brian" Wecht is reponsible for the various Game Grumps social media channels, on top of being in the occasional video. For the most part, however, he's the other half of Ninja Sex Party, the band he created with Dan. He left behind a teaching position at a prestigious London university to make dick jokes full time.
Did you know that he has a Ph.D.?
Suzy "Mortem3r" Berhow is Arin's wife. She has been on a couple Steam Rolled and Grumpcade episodes but mostly stays off-camera. She has her own channel here which is centered on make-up and fashion. She also has her own gaming channel, Kitty Kat Gaming.
I haven't included the rest of the OP because there's a fucking lot of it

The important part is at the very top.
Also woo, I thought they were taking a break from it for awhile to do Elden Ring but looks like they're still going to do Danganronpa episodes
Saturday/Sunday: Dangon Ropa
Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Elden Ring
Tuesday/Thursday: One offs or whatever
Which is great because I really don't watch grumps on the weekend
I feel like my favorite application of the grumps are to these mostly-VN-but-a-little-extra type of games.
I'd really love to see them do the 999/VLR/ZTD series after the Daganronpa games.
Markiplier and Crank and a lady YTer who's name I cannot recall had a project they did for a year called Unus Annus (latin for one year) where at the end of the year, they would delete the channel and all of the videos at the end, which they did, despite folks assuming they wouldn't.
Ah. But that didn't require them to stick things up their ass right?
LOL
Edit - Also enjoying the S2 opener of 10MPH.
"Wait... no swearing? Can I say 'come'?"
"As in you're going somewhere."
"So like, I'm going to come?"
Twitch: KoopahTroopah - Steam: Koopah
I was all set to watch the new 10MPH on my lunch break and 2 minutes into it I was like "nahhh I'm good". I also get repulsed by people belching into mics. They've been better about this the past years but it felt like almost every video I had to mute because they'd open by belch talking lol
The game definitely had no QA about it lol. I'm guessing the A wasn't supposed to stop the ball anywhere and it ended the turn or something early and instead of letting the ball continue it just froze it wherever it was.
I like how Arin shows up in one of Ross's dreams and he's totally chill like he's his dream guide or something.
You... guys saw they did like 200 episodes of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, right? Really weird energy to suggest Arin is a fake Souls fan.
Apparently I made it halfway through DS3, maybe I'll check that out again and see where/why I stopped...
Getting more levels or summons is not a horrible idea. Fighting the same boss for 2 hours and getting 2000 comments about "throwing" is a terrible idea.
Watching him play DS3 was infuriating because he was kind of terrible at everything, leveled up like an idiot, and still finished it.
With a guy named Sneezy Anus.
But yes, the playing was bad. Although it was after a long break I guess. Maybe he improves a bit later, but I'm not sure I'm able to handle this style of video anymore.
That ending was fucking glorious! I loved it.
I like it when they're essentially glorified voiceovers.
Danganronpa 2 is entertaining, mostly because I'll never play it because it looks tedious as a single player experience. Or Kitty Love.
I also like the guest grumps when they do competitive games.
But yeah, stuff like DDLC or the Trauma games is where they really shine, and I still poke in to see their reactions to games I enjoy, like Dark Souls.
