Poll: The Game Grumps Thread :D

[Mr.Mattress]

So, for people on this Gaming site who have no Idea who the 'Game Grumps' are, I shall explain. Famed Newgrounds cartoonist Egoraptor [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/585336] and Semi-Famous Youtube Critic JonTron [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l69BP1uhlMs] apparently live near one another. One day, they both decided to make a Channel [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNQkq3Q4CCg] Together [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4w8lLW96bk] on Youtube about Playing Video Games. [http://www.youtube.com/user/GameGrumps/featured] They release 2 videos a day, sometimes 1, sometimes 3. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufZiDlU2N6o] Reaction [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSNSIwsA5-c] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L6POqtJ_Bk] this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU-U04aCOKs] has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75K30dynuro] been [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNMYjmupSDs] Hilarious [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHncTVoscwA]. I wanted to know what the Escapist thought of them? If you haven't seen their stuff, then here's their first 3 episodes:

Spoiler: Kirby Super Star

Spoiler: Mega Man 7

Spoiler: Zelda: A Link to the Past

So, what does the Escapist think of Game Grumps? I think they're hilarious! I eagerly await for their newest uploads because they are just sooooo funny!

Yes.

You should have.

Now go sit in the corner.

I've seen 2 episodes. There were a couple funny bits but the other 99% I find so unfunny that it makes me want to shoot myself.

 

[FalloutJack]

Well NOW I think this is awesome. If only Youtube didn't suck...

Wait, did Egoraptor upload this stuff TO Newgrounds?

....Nope. Damn.

Game Grumps is so fucking funny, but only particular episodes... Like this Goof Troop episode:

I would never have guessed that they would play Demons' Souls. Though Jon not quite getting the appeal of the game was rather expected in my opinion

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I really love the show but the best part was how they met up. I don't remember which episode it was where they were talking about it but it sounded like a really random exchange of e-mails before, during or, after a con. It makes me want to reach out and try being friends with other Z-list internet celebrities because playing Mega Man 2 while drinking Dr. Pepper and high-fiving a lot sounds like a lot of fun. I'm relatively close to Philadelphia...hmm...

I'm laughing, and I'm not sure why...

I once did a mostly-blind 25 minute gameplay session of a game with commentary and posted it on YouTube. I knew it was terrible, and so I wanted to see what good (basically) blind Let's Plays looked/sounded like. I tried Game Grumps, as it's been recommended on here and other forums before. I watched the episode where they played Aladdin. I found nothing entertaining about it (and I like that game). I also tried Two Best Friends Play... and disliked that even more. So, I learned the answer to how do I make a good Let's Play is: who knows? Try hard enough and long enough and you'll probably appeal to somebody. Add in a lot of luck or bring in an existing following and you'll be successful.

I guess I'll try that Goof Troop episode, see if it's better. I played a ton of Goof Troop with my brother co-op, so hopefully that'll help it appeal to me.
