That new NSP video is great. Really the kind of thing that I wish someone had told me in high school.

New NSP AND 10 minute power hour in one day? What a time to be alive.

I binged a bit on their Game Grumps animated yesterday. Does everyone have a favorite animated video?

I literally watched the Subway one last night and I almost died laughing. It's so good.

I'll just post this one because, even though it's not my favorite, it's the one that got me going down the GG Animated rabbit hole:

Speaking of art, Chris started a spiritual successor to Doodle Doods if anyone cares.



Supermega too:



There's actually a lot of these channels it seems, but these seem to be direct successors as people involved in DD are there.

"Semen is like the YouTube thumbnail... and sperm is like the video."
- Arin Hanson, 2018

YouTube would do well to remember these words as they experiment with their algorithmic thumbnail nonsense

I was not expecting an episode or two based on them taking a personality test.

I took the same test, though, and got the same as Danny. It seems pretty accurate.

Like every single one of these 10 minute power hour episodes feels like a live action Supermega video starring Dan and Arin. Not that I'm complaining.

Geeze. It took 7 whole minutes just to get to playing some tennis in this stupid tennis game. Are all Mario Tennis games this story-heavy?
Only the first entry on GBC, Power Tour on GBA, and Aces have story modes, so about half of them. The GBC and GBA stories are RPGs that revolve around original characters enrolling at a tennis academy and rising through the ranks.

This Infinity War shit and stage structure is much different lol

6 years already? Guess it has been! Surprised Arin didn't mention it in the wiki video. Although it is kinda fun seeing him talk about stuff relating to himself and Game grumps.

I'll admit that I only clicked on the first wiki video out of sheer boredom, but I became so interested in both of them that now I want more. I think it helps that I think he's a great narrator/storyteller when it comes to his life.

Yeah, hearing about what happened at the reality show and the dancing competition is compelling. Although I guess it's a bit voyeuristic?

Having seen Arin's season of The Tester, those anecdotes were great to hear, lol.

He should do more reality shows just to fuck with the people behind them that want drama/bullshit. Make his own reality show out of crashing reality shows tbh

I literally had someone tell me this week that they were still mad about his behavior for The Tester, and I had no idea what that even was. So this really was posted at just the right time for me. The wiki videos were so interesting and his normal talking voice is so calming.

So the Wiki episodes are good? Admittedly, I haven't clicked them because I thought they'd be boring. Same thing actually with his art videos.

I've been a fan of Arin's since the Newgrounds days, so I think they're great, but y'know lol

I think so! Learned a few things. And the Arin only videos really need more views.

Omfg, Dan & Arin finding the old Sonic comic covers had me crying! I wish they would have ended the episode looking up and reading about all the crazy shit that happened in those old stories.

I remember spending a few hours going through those covers on Mega Collection+ with my sister and laughing at them back when it came out, so this episode was perfect.

Sonic the Comic is the true best Sonic comic though.

I'm not hung up on Arin's opinion of classic Sonic--no more than I am of anyone who says they're "all about going fast" (they're not)--and yeah he's frequently impatient and not a platforming master or anything

but Marble Zone does fucking suck

I think Arin does it on purpose to torture us.
His shit talking in addition to his terrible playthrough is killing me the most.

I HATED Marble Zone as a kid, but now I have a particular fondness for it.

The ending of Sonic Part 3 encapsulates Arin's ability to play Sonic.

I gotta admit rewatching the original Sonic

"Gotta go fast!"

"Here's this water level where you need to use your air properly and find air holes and you can't really go fast cause it's underwater also spikes everywhere"

The first game was incredibly difficult because of that. I think they refined the balance far better in the sequels and Sonic didn't feel as floaty when you had to do more slower platforming sections. Arin raging on it feels so cathartic.

Also, Can't believe they did it. They're finally doing Skyward Sword. Of course they haven't beaten the previous two Zelda games they started so...anyone want to take odds on if they complete this one?
