Nah I've definitely heard a song whose chorus is damn similar at least to me. It's like a girl singer and I keep trying to find it with "tonight we are young". Problem is I don't remember the exact lyrics nor the name, so it'll keep bothering me.

He really shows his age when he comments on that stuff.

But also, I think he's only this adamant on Toads/Toadette, which

I can see. They've definitely gender-coded the more unique Toad designs in the past.

There is no real way to reconcile it, he's being pretty clear on his feelings there. I think Arin genuinely changed his options over the years... But go back to the first playthrough of Mario Bros 2 and their discussions on Birdo.

It's the part where Arin says "Now Toad can return to his non-binary gendered wife." to which Dan answers: "She can't be attractive."
That part didn't bother me as he seems to be referring to just not finding female toads attractive. That's a bit different from straight up denying that Toads could be anything but gender conforming.

Either way, it's off putting, but not even worse than most of the people I'd consider friends think on the subject.

Dan is a nearly 40 year old man with zero social media accounts and a focus on music and barely anything else. He's not going to have the best pulse on modern progressivism. He's similarly said things about Israel that many progressives probably wouldn't be a fan of. Can't expect the guy to be perfect. I mean he's also a fan of H3H3, which would disqualify him for plenty of people here.

I say just take the victory that Dan at least appears to not want to be racist on plenty of occasions when it's more obvious. When it comes to LGBT issues not everyone is there yet.

This isn't to downplay that it's still not an awful opinion in any way, but that's where I'm kind of at. It should definitely be called out though.

I love this game, and I really enjoyed watching them play it. I get why they didn't do the whole thing, (because it would give away all of the puzzles,) but I would have loved to see Dan's reaction to the ending.

I've been waiting to binge-watch their Majora playthrough since it's my favorite game. What part broke Arin?
No idea. He just fell again as the Goron who apparently can't jump right and he had all he can take. He hates Majora. Hates Ocarina. Hates Skyward Sword. It ends with Danny filming Arin coming clean about it all.

So if you're gonna binge it, go ahead. It will probably only be back if the fans really really beg for it. And only in a few weeks at least.

To be fair... Majora's Mask really is the worst playing Zelda game. You can argue the story and setting all you want... But the dungeons are pretty bad and the game running at 12fps makes it control like ass.

Arin also could've easily stopped running earlier on that pillar instead of going into a roll while he was still moving. Majora plays fine, it's just Arin playing it up for laughs.

Wonder if they are going to retire the Grump heads? They've been replaced for the thumbnails. If I remember right, they were done by Barry (he mentioned it in one of his first BarryIsStreaming amongst how he designed his current mascot version of himself). Maybe they are preparing a new opening as well.

Oh wow, I thought those designs were a one-off for yesterday.
That was my thought as well since it kind of matched the tone of the game they were playing, but the games today have it as well.

(Edit) Majora's mask switched to the new heads as well. Really looks like the old grump heads are being phased out.

Also of note, I am impressed they didn't give up on Majora. I swore they'd take like a week off and wait for people to give input. But damn, right back into it.

A new day, a new Arin Hanson.

Also the new Grump heads explains their clearance sale on merch with the old logos.

Pretty sure Krooked Glasses has been doing the branding for a while now. They talked about it on Doodle Doods when she was on like a year ago.

Dampy makes me never want to actually play Majora. I never beat it. Never got too far in it. But I own it on cart and on Wii VC as well as GC disc.

Also I wonder why they did the N64 version instead of the 3DS one.

Oh, and Trap Adventure 2 is hilarious. But I really think it should be more like I Wanna Be the Guy and have checkpoints occasionally instead of lives and having to start over every time you run out. Also, the on-screen controls are the worst part of every LP I've seen of it.

From what I read, they're using a 3ds walkthrough instead of an N64 walkthrough.

Also the Dampe section is frustrating but only because of his walk speed. Z-targeting makes it trivially easy.
