I just watched UpUpDownDown's axe throwing tournament before the Power Hour, and Carly was great there too, very charming. It must be a lot of fun working there.Carly was awesome. She really knew how to play off Dan and Not Dan. Shame this'll be the only time we see her. Fun episode. Ten Minute Power Hour gives me life every week.

Geeze, guys. They're literally arguing about Raphael being called the leader of the TMNT in the song being wrong.
Which they had an argument about literally 3 years ago...

Which game was that? I remember there being another time they had the same conversation from years ago, can't remember what it was now. At least they notice they have a bit of a habit of doing that lol.They also played the same game twice, answering the same questions and didn't realize it.
Million Dollar Pyramid. Dan even mentions how he thinks they've played it before, and Arin said they didn't. But yeah, they have been doing the show for almost 7 years. A few recurring conversations is fine.Which game was that? I remember there being another time they had the same conversation from years ago, can't remember what it was now.

Also the "yep that's me" part of Guts and Glory was great.
the best part of the whole series is when he reaches a moment that requires him to slightly stop and think about what to do, and instead he just immediately resorts to the knuckles glitch. I laugh every time.Episode 7 of Sonic Boom, which begins with Barry breaking down how glitchy the cutscenes are and ends with Arin melting down about how the game won't tell him where to go next, is maybe the best single episode of the show ever.

This is new~
Less grumps during the weekdays, a more schedule for other things(With 1 grumps episode-Power HOur mondays, Streams tuesdays, animations wednesdays, compilations thursdays, 1 grumps episodes fridays, sat/sun are 2 grumps episodes still).
They also give a good explanation on why they don't do long series anymore, and explain their thoughts behind the changes(basically youtube itself sucks)
It seems like it's a different atmosphere, where as in Grumps episode is two friends chilling while playing some games while the streams gave me the impression they are more aware of the audience and trying to always be engaged with them (audience).
Yeah, I guess the best thing that comes from these streams is that they are able to take on longer games without getting hit on the viewership/money, so there's that. Aside from that, I share everything from what you said. It's really jarring going from standard Grumps episodes to the streams, it's a different atmosphere from the casual Grumps. I don't mind having other people on the streams, but like you said, some of them can get pretty boring, it's not really anyone's fault though, Arin and Dan have developed insane chemistry off each other in the Grumps sessions, the streams naturally interrupted that chemistry with the constant audience interactions and other members joining in on the stream.It is pretty much that. I like the streams, but I don't pay nearly as much attention to a stream I have playing in the background than I do a solid 10-15 minute episode with a clear end. I pay as much to a stream as Arin does to Skyward Sword's sailcloth. Plus you have people that aren't Arin and Dan and, sorry to everyone else there at GG, not Arin and Dan can be pretty dull.
I rarely watch live and spread it out the archived stream across a couple of days. It's nowhere as engaging and halting gameplay to do donation shout outs has me fast-forwarding more than I'd like. Fine to take chat questions but outside of that who cares how much money people donate?
the creators I've seen who go to Patreon haven't really alienated their audience though. Many audiences understand that youtube cannot maintain creators as it used to.It makes sense why they do the one offs because if Youtube really changed their algorithm, then that really affects their metrics and discoverability. Especially for a channel that probably wants to grow and expand even more.
They could do patreon but I feel thatd be a last ditch effort, because I doubt theyd wanna alienate current people with a patreon. I also dont see them opening a patreon; donations/youtube subs during streaming is one thing. Theyd probably rather sell merch than have someone sign up on a patreon.
They look nice together, I'm happy for Dan.
I completely forgot about this, absolutely hilarious.
This week's Animated is great. Doodle Date was such a trip
Also hilarious, today's Guts and Glory
"Arin's pressing buttons, is today the day he finds to boost button?"
