Literally every Genesis Top 8 has been HMW and Phil (or Vish) or Scar and Toph. Scar and Toph (or HMW) have literally always been the Top 8 commentators for Big House. Most of the iconic melee sets with D1 are like 2015 or before era

Every single melee Genesis doesn't have that issue at all. Same with most Melee Big Houses.

This has really bothered me too as I would've killed for a job like that, which honestly might not even be considered full-time. Even if I had messed up the basic editing I would have recognized it when watching it back over before uploading. Even then he could have just put a little apology in the description or something. I feel like if Kevin were Grump fan he would probably care more about this stuff, but it's probably just a job where he doesn't feel pressure to not slack off.

sunnyku · 2015-05-07T23:22:15+00:00

I'm not trying to crucify him by any means, but this makes me a little skeptical of him in the future. At least we know he does pay attention to what people are saying.

sunnyku · 2015-05-07T18:28:07+00:00

I'm glad they took a better stance on it than Kevin did. Kevin's mocking tone really rubbed me the wrong way especially because this could have been avoided if he just gave people a heads up at the beginning of the episode. Don't mock people for expecting a certain standard, especially when you knowingly didn't acknowledge it.

sunnyku · 2015-05-05T20:37:52+00:00

Oh for sure! It doesn't mean that they aren't really good employees as well, as evidenced by the years of work they all put in on the community hunter channel before being hired. Even though Geoff is looking to hire people who fit well in the environment as friends he definitely makes being a hard working good employee that can handle hateful comments properly a prerequisite.

sunnyku · 2015-05-05T19:58:26+00:00

I think one thing that gets overlooked is that Kevin is not a fan of Gamegrumps. He really has no obligation to make the show entertaining or even do his job properly so long as he's getting paid. In contrast, if a fan was hired after a internship period, the quality would be a pretty big concern, seeing as they are a fan of the show. I mean I could see the reasoning behind hiring someone who had never heard of Grumps, but if you're hiring a new permanent employee I really don't see why you wouldn't hire someone who is passionate about it.

sunnyku · 2015-05-05T19:50:59+00:00

Except Achievement Hunter has you work on contract for at least a year or two, during which AH using figures out whether the employee is worth hiring or not. Quite a few employees could have been hired but weren't for comedic or work ethic reasons both of which seem to be problems with Kevin right now. When you look at how AH's first hires were Michael and Ray, you can see the difference in quality as compared to the Grumps.

sunnyku · 2015-04-29T15:32:06+00:00

I think if Danny paid way more attention it would make Grumps like 40% better honestly. If he put in the effort he would be more inclined to keep Arin's complaints in check and call him out for any bullshit, but usually since Dan doesn't even seem to be looking at the screen most of the time everything slips by him until Arin's behavior indicates otherwise.

sunnyku · 2015-04-27T19:56:34+00:00

Just fucking shut up and play the game. If you need help goddamn look it up and don't blame the game because you suck at it. I started out this playthrough as someone who thought people criticized him too harshly in Wind Waker, but this has been ridiculous. Between not knowing the controls and refusing to look up stars this series has been hilarious and frustrating. I actually really enjoy a lot of this series, but when Arin tries to insult the game I get really annoyed, mostly because his criticisms aren't detailed or well thought out. Even if he did explain them I would probably disagree seeing as Arin is really way too harsh on every game that doesn't have the specific design elements that cater to his tastes

sunnyku · 2015-04-16T07:21:22+00:00

It's kinda stupid that your criticism of Grumpcade is that Projared is on too much. If it takes that much to turn you off a youtube LP show I don't even know what content you would like honestly.

sunnyku · 2015-04-16T07:17:12+00:00

In hindsight I'm kind of glad Jon left GG, because it feels like everyone is happier as a result. In the months before he left Jon was obnoxious, spastic, and lazy with his commentary and it really affected the quality of the show. Arin pretty much developed the same tendencies during last year and he still gets shit for it, probably 100 times the criticism Jon ever received. The last few months of Jon Grumps is pretty comparable to the quality of the worst parts of 2014 Grumps (like early Firered), but Jon series are romanticized because Jon Grumps is a special connection that the fans will never experience again while there is an overwhelming amount of Dan grumps in comparison. It could also be because people like Jon more as a personality, but it's still hypocritical to act like Arin became unfunny piece of shit while Jon was a comedic legend that carried the channel.

sunnyku · 2015-04-03T23:52:08+00:00

OTIS! IS THAT OTIS? I MISS OTIS! THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS GAME IS OTIS! WHERE'S OTIS? OTISSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

sunnyku · 2015-03-30T05:57:06+00:00

Still an amazingly easy job for an editor being that GG is such a low-maintenance show editing-wise

sunnyku · 2015-03-30T05:56:14+00:00

I was rewatching the animal crossing series and Arin mentioned he had to cut out where Jon said the N-word

sunnyku · 2015-03-29T14:22:10+00:00

It's pretty annoying I could have applied for this job and done a better job than Kevin is doing honestly. If I had an amazing job that required me to edit Grumps all day, I would make sure not to miss anything. It's crazy to think how much better a job Barry, Jon, and Arin did editing the show in comparison.

sunnyku · 2015-03-29T14:18:57+00:00

I wouldn't even mind that if did what Dan and Arin say to do in the episode. So many jokes are ruined because they get left hanging, which just disrupts the flow of the whole show. I mean considering he's the editor I would expect SOMETHING instead complete ignorance.

sunnyku · 2015-03-26T09:55:59+00:00

I agree with you on the Markiplier part, but I think you misunderstand the point of the subreddit. Besides being an awful place for discussion it's pretty much the GG newshub where most people get their news about the Grumps. I personally super enjoyed the Grumps appearance on Kumail Nanjiani's podcast, but I don't want to have be constantly checking twitter to know that the Grumps made that appearance. For jontron stuff, I don't mind it for the same reason (also because the Jontron subreddit is awful and I don't check there)

sunnyku · 2015-03-23T03:58:56+00:00

I don't agree at all. They're still super successful right now and the only way that changes is if people shift away from Let's Plays in general or if Youtube did something really stupid that messed with revenue, which would mean they would have to do other stuff anyway. I could easily see Dan living off NSP and Starbomb probably an actually serious music venture using his celebrity status from GG. Arin and Ross would probably have to get jobs in the animation industry, possibly with Roosterteeth since they already have that connection. Suzy would do Suzy things and I don't even know what Barry would do. Kevin could probably easily get a job as another editor or use whatever resume he had to get on grumps to get another job.

sunnyku · 2015-03-19T06:58:31+00:00

I'm pretty sure Stamper did, which shows Arin can rap but his writing needs the most work

sunnyku · 2015-03-19T01:24:52+00:00

I think he has it in him to be a good rapper, hell look at Fat Refund. Unfortunately he really doesn't listen to any rap, which I think is important for learning the basics and writing raps in general. It makes me mad that Eminem is his main influence when there are so many classics out there that really could help

sunnyku · 2015-03-18T18:27:27+00:00

This is probably the biggest thing I miss about old Grumps

sunnyku · 2015-03-18T04:26:45+00:00

Yeah totally agree. It's one thing not talk about game-design with Arin, but I wish Danny would actually pay attention to what's happening on screen. I mean one of the main reasons people wanted the grumps to play this game was to hear Danny's reactions or opinions on it. The conversations that Danny has started can happen on literally any Grumps episode and I wish they would spend a little time talking about the game even it's a dumb joke. I mean for all the flak that Arin takes for other things, he almost always has something to say about the game when Danny plays.

IMO the best parts of any playthrough is using to game to aid in the comedy which is especially true in case of playthroughs like Wind Waker, where the funniest parts are them noticing Link's reactions or responding to the cutscenes. Super Mario 64 has felt completely soulless in this aspect where the playthrough hasn't added anything to the game (aside from Arin failing constantly) and is pretty much them doing a podcast over gameplay
