Well they only went there because they work for manchinima. I agree that they're not very professional about the whole thing, but how many (and I really hate using this term) gamers care about professionalism? Most people just want to hear "MEGAMAN CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL" or "MGSV CONFIRMED MULTIPLAT HURR XBONE ARE YOU EVEN TRYING". Like Bunker says, E3's conundrum is trying to seem professional to please investors and press and trying to seem like a big hype party to please its audience.

And hey, at least it's better than fucking iJustine.

That particular video helped spike a resurgence for a while. So veteran EvilDaedalus got to make this video:

Note: If it's hard to follow the reason his actions at the 3-minute mark were so horrifying to that one guy is that he combined a body grab with a high-speed lunge, causing his friend's corpse to suddenly get hauled out of sight incredibly fast.

For clarification to those not in the know, this means he left Game Grumps.

I think this is for the better, honestly. I've been missing the JonTron episodes a lot and I've long ago unsubscribed to the Game Grumps channel (not out of spite or anything, I just didn't find a lot of the episodes there putting out at the time not as entertaining). I've watched an episode or two every now and then to see if I was missing anything and re-subscribe, but nope, I was doing just fine without Game Grumps. My preferences aside, I look forward to JonTron's future works, whether it be JonTron Season 2 or a glorious return to PBG's Hardcore.

Spoiler'd because I don't know why.
>> No. 176858
>>176857
Hopes that maybe it can expand into possibly a bigger thing with a rotation or a bigger crew returning to the glorious days of the full team LP experience.
>> No. 176859
>>176857
I'm legitimately bummed out about this.

Matt and Pat are the only other LP'ers I follow closely, and they just don't have the same feel to me. I hope Jon and Arin are still friends. I was always hoping to see pics of Barry and Jon at Arin's wedding.
>> No. 176860
>>176859
They are still friends, he just wanted more time to work on JonTron show and to be brutally honest I think he's realized he's been phoning it with Game Grumps for a while.
>> No. 176864
>>176860
I never thought he was phoning it in. Sure, some days it wasn't as funny, but sometimes the games didn't give them anything to work with.

It's like SNL, in a way. You can't make funny topical jokes if nothing went on that week (or really, nothing worth making fun of, or that you're okay making fun of, happened that week).

Provided it hasn't happened already, I believe this is the moment when Game Grumps jumps the shark.
>> No. 176871

Some new dude I've never heard of.
His maiden game is Punch-Out on NES.
He seems to be a bit more "on Arin's level" and less a fan of his turned friend. He talks a lot, but not just about making noises and how funny someone looks. I think he knows he's got a Jafari sized hole to fill and it might be making him a bit nervous.

He's Shemp, and while Shemp was a great Stooge, he "replaced" Curly and suffered for it.
>> No. 176874
Clearly Game Grumps is not going to be the same, but Jon having more time to work on his own projects seems like a good thing (because damn do I miss his JonTron stuff). The first episode with Danny was still entertaining to me, although it's a different chemistry. Still, different does not automatically equal bad.
And hey, at least the game itself remained the topic of conversation throughout the episode, instead of some unrelated ramble.

Honestly the new 'show' on the Game Grumps channel gave me more pause than the lineup change.

Not sure what I make of this yet. Still kinda walking around it and poking it with a stick.
>> No. 176875
>>176874
I did like JonTron more than Jon on Game Grumps, especially lately.
I don't mind lineup changes, and in fact they're pretty nice for variance. Maybe Danny will be good at fighting games. Maybe Ross will play on Game Grumps. Maybe Jon will return for Versus and they can have a true 4 man game episode because there's more than just two of them now.

What would have been best is a FORMAT CHANGE ALERT a couple weeks ago or something. They've left so much hanging, and this is right in the middle/beginning/end of so many games. Not the least of which is Sonic 06 and the unplayed Majora's Mask.

I'm sure Jon and Arin didn't make these decisions lightly. And I can't say I dislike the Game Grumps becoming ensemble. It's just a bit jarring and I'm just a casual viewer, so the HARDXCORE I HAVE TO BE PART OF SOMETHING cumfaggots are going ballistic. The Dislikes are through the roof because kids just can't handle the change.
>> No. 176876
>>176875
Maybe the new guys will pick up where the original team left off.

It did always piss me off that they left Pokémon Emerald and Secret of Mana and so on unfinished, but I felt it wasn't my place to bitch.
>> No. 176877
>>176875
The regularity of their uploads probably contributed to the reaction. People came for their eight o'clock Jon 'n' Arin fix only to receive something different.
>> No. 176878
>>176876
I considered that. But I don't think they will. 100+ episodes of Jon and Arin playing Sonic then ended with like 6 of Arin and Dan would be too much. No one would like that.

And even now they can't release prerecorded episodes with Jon in them, so we're all screwed.

I don't think they can finish Emerald either, Plumbloom and other quotes have made it too Jon. Other one offs though, definitely. Hopefully Dan won't be so terrified of dead air as Jon was and think more highly of his viewers than to believe they need everysecondconstant entertainment or they drift off into an ADD coma.
>> No. 176879
Personally I don't know how to feel about it. One one end Jon never really did much besides yell and babble, yet that somehow played well to Arin.
At the very least I won't have to worry about his voice getting stuck in my head. Seriously, get Jons voive stuck in your head as your inner monolog for a while and you will find yourself wishing bodily hard on yourself.
Also this is a thing:

I'm kinda disappointed, since for me he was always the main draw of GG while Egoraptor was the less amusing straight man. The new guy is OK, but his ordinary sounding voice is already making me miss Jon and his singing/yelling.

I can just not see that at all. Having the goodbye video and then releasing videos with him in it would be terrible choices.

I shot 'em a Like on both the Steam Train intro and first episode of Hotline Miami for support. A show where you try to blast through your backlog of Humble Bundle and Steam Sale games is brilliant and hopefully they set the format up to be that, and not just Game Grumps PC. And yes, I consider them both Game Grumps. Arin, Jon, Dan, Barry, Ross, and Grant Kirkhope.
>> No. 176916
Rumor is the real reason Jon left was because he was moving to be with his girlfriend? I'm not interested in snooping too much on the Grumps' personal lives so anyone who is a bit more nosey know if this is true or not?
