Oh god dammit, Arin. TAKE MY MONEY.

This is my favourite thing they've played in a while. I'm guessing the image quality wasn't this good back on the Sega CD, though? lolSo they're playing the new Double Switch HD anniversary rerelease and here I am with my original still mint in box and sealed SegaCD copy.
Haven't opened my copy but if it's anything like every single other SegaCD FMV game I have and have popped in my console, yeah, it's not gonna be that good quality. This version looks great though. It's neat that they still have all the raw footage to remaster it with. Because you wouldn't get anything useful off a SegaCD game. (Super low resolution 16 color low frame rate video files ain't gonna upscale that well.)This is my favourite thing they've played in a while.

Good for people who like collectibles, but man I don't know how anybody can collect all of these toys without going insane. They're always making new shit and you need space for them.
Lootboxes really did find the correct approach to just push folks to buy more. Copy the trading card game booster pack model lmao.For as much as I said earlier that I wanted them, this is why I ultimately didn't bite. Also, I realized I'd be sad if I didn't get ones that I wanted, and then I'd want to buy more and more, and it's $25 for three pins.
That's a rabbit hole I don't need to go down.
It's making me want to get the PS4 version, along with Night Trap. I'm up for some goofy fun.Haven't opened my copy but if it's anything like every single other SegaCD FMV game I have and have popped in my console, yeah, it's not gonna be that good quality.

I don't really get into nor understand how to wrap my head around these FMV multiple security camera games. Especially Five Nights at Freddy's which is basically the same thing except without the FMV. (Though it'd be a lot more interesting to watch if it did have FMV.)It's making me want to get the PS4 version, along with Night Trap. I'm up for some goofy fun.
I just don't understand how people beat them without a guide, like Dan said lolI don't really get into nor understand how to wrap my head around these FMV multiple security camera games.

If companies keep porting those old games to modern consoles then we'll be set. It's so weird that this is a genre that has somehow made a "comeback" over 20 years later when for all intents and purposes it should have (rightly) been left to the sands of time to be forgotten forever.I am so goddamn invested in them finishing Double Switch now.
Honestly, if they could play old Sega CD FMV games forever, I would be totally happy.
Yeah, I asked myself the same thing. I instantly went to watch the actual video. My ears felt really weird.
Am I the only one who feels like the daily Grump episodes have been lacking something? Like, Power Hour is still fantastic, I loved the Weird Al episodes. But it feels like a spark is missing, or something.
That would be great. I think it's because they are trying to avoid long series because of the YT algorithm, or something.

I understand they can't do longer series anymore. Which is fine. I just wish they'd get into the games a bit more. Like, it seemed they enjoyed Psycho Waluigi and it could have made a decent 3-4 episode series. Instead they do Tiny Bird Garden and Barbie's Horse Adventures, and Arin and Dan both sound like they don't really care.2019 game grumps sucks. They're focusing more one quick one offs and won't be doing longer games anymore as YouTube doesn't surface series as well. Thats why I think spark is missing because they don't seem as invested in what they're playing and just pumping out bargain bin content. The live streams are not the same either. Even the editing is a lot more straight, matt and Ryan don't interject much anymore even when getting called out.
I used to watch nearly everything they put out and would check in daily. Now I find myself skipping days or certain content altogether. The comments aren't toxic yet but you see more and more people asking them to play certain games or continue a series but they won't with this format. Curious what their analytics are like post change.

they should do is not stop doing long games on the channel but start long games on the channel, run them for a few episodes, then if they decide to continue, then move it to streams. From time to time do one week where it's 5 episodes of a new long game and at the end of the fifth episode they ask viewers if they should continue if they're enjoying it and then move it to a stream.
Edit: I see they're doing NSMBU Deluxe now. Can we expect the same thing as last time they played it? I really want to see them enjoy and play the game but Arin always seems to complain about the NSMB series as being too plain and derivative. But U is like the best of them, but didn't they play it way back in the day when they still had other people with them? And they dropped it fast. So how long are they even going to play this one? I can't watch it yet until after work tonight. Is it even a game they could move to streams? Would people care about them finishing it? Or is it just a filler series?
I've just watched the episodes. It seems like he likes the game. But am I wrong? I seem to remember them playing the game on the Wii U and he didn't like it? Or did he just not like the Wii version?Arin didn't shit on the new series in this episode but he's doing his cheese routine. I see them doing three episodes and shelving the game unless it does really well in which case they might do another session for a total of six or seven episodes. I personally like the piece meal youtube content. Episodes are short enough to fit in my day and they're entertaining. The streams lack the grumps vibe and are kind of dull. If I wanted to watch twitch streams, id go to twitch.
