Used to love Egoraptor. He went on to do Game Grumps and I lost interest, then he returned for one more music video. I was excited and kinda watched it with a blank face and realized I didn't find this stuff his funny anymore.

      I haven't seen RWBY in years but I decided to watch that mid af crossover with the justice league a while ago. Combine with the fact that I've heard the show is dead in the water I basically have no willpower to rewatch the damn thing, not even volumes 1-3.

      Besides the mario rap thing for nostalgia sake, everything else is too cringy and too corny to be looked back fondly upon

        That the animation is good makes it even worse.

        It's not that you outgrew, but that Egoraptor's humor has degraded into screaming like an idiot, doing his "cool rap guy" voice, and a slightly different kind of screaming. He's totally regressed in every way as any kind of creator or artist and he has to rely on far more talented people to try and polish his turds for him. I bet Jon left because he was sick of dealing with Aaron's bullshit and Danny probably wishes he got out years ago, but went and made the mistake of entangling himself with Aaron until the fat moronic homosexual decides to leave on his own or kills himself first.

        I just got a video recommendation for Grumps since my browser spies on me and holy shit did Arin get fat.

                Poor Brando, was hard to read that Duane just took all of the good faith money for merch and shit just to blow it all on drugs. Leaving Brando with so much merch that he couldn't mail it all because he didn't get the money meant to send it out.

                so, what's you spergs opinions on Lyle McDouchebag, or Lyle Wrath, or guitarmasterx7 at his youngest? The other guy oneyplays has on. He made some machinimas, wrote or at least voiced cartoon other people drew and and reads videogame news sort of funnily on pregame discharge.
                I'm not asking for validation, Just sort of curious about the people in this board.
                here's an examplehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRKTjUDzNY8&t=6s

                My earliest memory of Lyle was him making fun of a machinima called "Ex Machina" or some shit. It was filmed like one of the episodes only for the character to turn around and furiously start jerking off. I actually liked the show until I saw that was like "oh yea, this is just stupid shit.". Street Fighter Chode is still gold.

        Just proves they've got what it takes to make it in Hollywood with drama like that.

        I still don't understand why so many people were gushing over his sequelitis vids. They were the beginning of the end for him actually putting effort into his animations and felt barely scripted to boot. Kinda makes me wonder if the reason he posted picrel is because he wanted to justify his own lazy content.

        Because he was reinforcing their preconceived notions. The Zelda one in particular got a lot of air because it gave a voice to all the midwits disgruntled with OoT being frequently in the conversation for "greatest game of all time," rather than whatever their favorite was.

          which is the true moron take, because there is no way an n64 game can possibly hold that title. do i have a "personal favorite" that i would rather hold that? frick no. i havent thought that deeply about it, and there is far too much analysis about far too many games to consider. but oot is a janky fricking mess and in no way deserves to be considered "the greatest game of all time". thats just fricking stupid.

          some of his ranting was because he's bad/stupid, but he did also make some really GOOD points about some of the crippling flaws the game has. and a game with that many severe flaws can NOT be genuinely considered "the greatest game of all time", its just nostalgia zealots.

              every flaw would be unnecessary. the fact of simply stating a few is more than enough to discredit and disqualify it. opening chests takes too long, and theres no reason to have boxes telling you all about bombs or whatever EVERY single time. dialogue boxes in general could objectively be seriously refined. textures are hideous. the game is easy to break. enemies are too passive and non-threatening, while also being too evasive/invulnerable. a lot of areas are completely empty and pointless. controls are janky. the list goes on an on, and more importantly, every single aspect of the game has been improved upon and/or refined by some other since then. it has aged like milk.

                Played OOT as an adult, never finished because of this.

                Use Deku Nuts then to stun them and cheese them, although the whole point of the combat is built on pattern recognition. For example, Wolfos can be killed in one hit but most people just try to Leeroy Jenkins it. If you smash its back (most easily after Wolfos does its 2-slash combo as the momentum of the second slash turns its back on you) you get a very wide window to go for the kill.

                This applies to the White Wolfos miniboss as well.

                Even if it's a recreation, the 1997 demo shows how polished the final release was, though. Remember the year it was released, and compare to prior 3D adventure games. Even Mega Man Legends 2 took elements from OoT.

            You're on here, you're some kind of manchild. Eventually, you stop watching new media and lose interest in the things you've been keeping up with out of habit. Tastes change. I had some college age coworkers and they were all like that, still into anime, vidya and cartoons to the point that they'd try to talk to you about it like it was normal. Over the course of a year or two, it faded as shows ended and the cringe set in.

            There's nothing intrinsically wrong with liking this kind of shit, but context is everything. It has become "normalized" but at some point, you're standing there IRL listening to an allegedly grown ass adult talk about video game youtube clips and shows for 12 year olds. It's gross. Before anyone @s me, there are proper channels for it (here, or with trusted friends in a private setting) and the way it is discussed is different. Don't discuss it like you do here.

      Used to love Egoraptor. He went on to do Game Grumps and I lost interest, then he returned for one more music video. I was excited and kinda watched it with a blank face and realized I didn't find this stuff his funny anymore.

      Game Grumps used to be fun, but after they started doing shit with Ross again, I can't help but see them as a pack of spineless buttholes. Holly Conrad said Ross raped her throughout their marriage, according to a tweet that was up for about 3 minutes. May they all eat shit.

          Yes I also know LTTP fans who'd argue that they weren't statisfied with the high rated OOT (in my case I didn't give a crap about Zelda until everyone hyped OOT when it came out, and really missed out on LTTP... failed several times to catch up on it). But Arins arguments just sucked. He had more of a control issue instead of a 2D vs 3D issue. Nintendo tried to circumvent the issues with auto-jump and auto-aim and this type of 3D controls was very new and experimental at that time. The N64 controller was simply bad for 3D controls with its C-buttons. You can't blame the game for being... well... old. If you want to criticize 2D vs 3D, Mario 64 is a way better topic.

          Which was my thesis, it's fun to write a shitton of text about how 3D sucks in platforming games compared to 2D.

      As someone who also prefers 2D to 3D Zelda, that video pisses me off because it was a dishonest pile of bullshit, especially with the context of Grumps revealing the truth: Arin lacks object permanence. Something even dogs have. Despite being on a 3D space, he thinks he can still out-screen an enemy and the enemy will "despawn" like on the NES and proceeds to call the game cheap. Or the 3D rooms, you're supposed to look around on first person view (or the camera stick in newer Zeldas) to look at your surroundings... And even then, the camera pans every fricking important room, being like "over here you dumb frick".

          the Mega Man X one made a really good first impression, that was the ONLY sequelitis video it seemed like he knew what he was talking about...

          ...Until you realize "MEGAMAN MEGAMAN" interruptions were NEVER a classic Mega Man thing and something Roll never did. They were a Mega Man X5 thing, the first X game outsourced to Value Wave and directed by Koji Okohara. He's praising "X" for being the "evolution of Mega Man" but right after it's first entry it swapped hands 4 times, and got especially worse when Hayato Kaji and Keiji Inafune were checked out of the series given their growing responsibilities at Capcom.

            I'm not too sure on the fundamentals of his vidya knowledge (other than the fact he has horrible knowledge of Zelda), it was his janky "animations" and shitty edit comedy that I was mainly getting at

            I think when he gave Danny shit one live stream for being "mean" to something fictional, is when i was officially over it.

            Arin was clearly going through some shit, drinking during the live streams. TRYING to see what would work, and make being an online celebrity fulfilling after 5+ years. I'm only partially sorry for him, but he put all that shit on himself to try and keep his 'business' together, when youtube is a shitty platform to try and maintain a career on.

            So I get it, that he wanted to avoid his channel being demonetized YET again, and had tell his co-star, who is 1000% more put together and mentally stable than him, that he was being "offensive" was so fricking crazy to listen to. Arin doesn't HAVE to do any of the things that he put on himself, but it's Danny's fault for wanting to have fun with his friend.

            Yeah I forgot what the "offensive thing" was, I think danny called a fictional girl a prostitute as a joke. It was something that when they started doing grumps together was apart of their skits constantly.

            it doesn't surprise me, sadly. The guy genuinely does have a talent for content creation, especially art, he just seems to waste it on stuff he isn't really very good at and then refuse to improve at the same time. Same with the Danny guy and his music, some of the stuff I heard was pretty good but he still insists on doing this gig of playing games and giggling at them all the time for a living. guess I'm in no place to judge.

              Danny still makes music and, when he isn't paired with Arin, it can be pretty good. I actually like a lot of his NSP stuff and his crossovers with TWRP (stupid names, I know). Admittingly, some of the NSP songs can, in their attempt at comedy, completely fricking miss the mark. I either really dig or really hate their songs. I recently heard this song and I unironically love it.

              So at the very least, Danny seems to still be able to put out decent music at times.

                Castlevania one was shit, he's a brainlet using food analogies calling Metroidvania game design "fast food" as if that type of game doesn't come with its own hurdle of development difficulties as you have to account for everything the player might do and the gear he may have, while Classicvania relies more on smart enemy positioning so the player can make-do as long as his reflexes are good.

            No not at all. I think you misremembered the series. The episode explained that games continually struggling with designing a way to teach players how to play their game. Old games tended to have no instruction and unintuitive design, new games suffer from informational overload controller schematics. At no point did he says classic mega man suffered from "MEGAMAN MEGAMAN" just that one of the games in the series did that, and it was not good design. In fact he praises the classics because they were simple enough to figure out just by a player being a human being (jump and shoot man). And then Mega Man X added new mechanics while being ingeniously designed in its levels by allowing those epiphanies about the mechanics to come from just playing the game.

          Not sure. He made some good points though, and people were probably excited for more egoraptor stuff. He probably quit when he didn't get immediate recognition and money for low effort content.

          every flaw would be unnecessary. the fact of simply stating a few is more than enough to discredit and disqualify it. opening chests takes too long, and theres no reason to have boxes telling you all about bombs or whatever EVERY single time. dialogue boxes in general could objectively be seriously refined. textures are hideous. the game is easy to break. enemies are too passive and non-threatening, while also being too evasive/invulnerable. a lot of areas are completely empty and pointless. controls are janky. the list goes on an on, and more importantly, every single aspect of the game has been improved upon and/or refined by some other since then. it has aged like milk.

    You skipped the entirety of Grumps and expect to not cringe at Star Bomb? That means you missed out on what a fricking pathetic, self proclaimed pill addict human being Danny Sexbang (yes, his name should always be fully spelled to mock him) is. Who, like Jon, basically ran the whole fricking show while Arin sat next to him saying "Yeh." like AVGN these days. That guy was creative and a voice actor and was neither creative, nor a voice actor on Grumps. And he got even lazier once he realized you can make money while gaming or talking, just like many other animators did (Jellopocalypse, Zone).

    My moment when I stopped giving a shit was when they invited him on stage at some con, maybe it was E3, maybe Penny Arcade, I forgot, to play a game and he was extremely embarassing. You just wondered how such a person got so much fans.

    Also his wife is so fugly it makes me angry, and he tried to shill her hard.

        I think its a shitty idea to let people play live on stage in general but he just doesn't have stage presence. He just seems like a guy who should have stuck to his goddamn animations. I'm at a point where I even doubt he made them considering he started to outsource them all, and the Awesome series looks vastly different than e.g. Sequelitis in drawing style.

        I know thats not Cinemaphile related but regarding doing videogame stuff on stage... isn't it amazing that we don't have to sit through EA Sports shit and Ubisoft cringe anymore to get to the interesting stuff since E3 is dead?

    It's not that you outgrew, but that Egoraptor's humor has degraded into screaming like an idiot, doing his "cool rap guy" voice, and a slightly different kind of screaming. He's totally regressed in every way as any kind of creator or artist and he has to rely on far more talented people to try and polish his turds for him. I bet Jon left because he was sick of dealing with Aaron's bullshit and Danny probably wishes he got out years ago, but went and made the mistake of entangling himself with Aaron until the fat moronic homosexual decides to leave on his own or kills himself first.

      Looking at Jon's videos today (which is a whole different can of worms... sigh...) I'm very sure he wanted to develop Game Grumps further than sitting on his ass and cracking all the jokes, but Arin was either too lazy or mad that Jon would steal his spotlight.

      With Danny, Arin found the perfect person who's shitty at literally anything than sitting around and shows no ambitions. But hell, dare I say it... even Danny eventually got funnier and more active than Arin in the few Danny-starring Grumps episodes I watched. Yeah I jumped ship HARD when it became nothing but Danny proudly telling his drugs and bawds stories as if I'm supposed to know him. I don't want to know a guy who unironically calls himself, and I repeat, Danny Sexbang.

        I'm pretty sure videos going over the "controversy" have said the exact opposite. Jon wanted it to be a fun get-together but Arin was interested in branding and merchandising and losing the spirit.

          Arin wanted a business where Jon wanted a channel to be creative. I am certain the bigger issue is Jon wanted to do more fun stuff while Arin wanted to pearl clutch and probably started to push for the things they talked about never doing (shit we are seeing now). I am more certain THAT is what caused the break away than some stupid conspiracy of Jon hitting Susie or some other stupid shit.

        You skipped the entirety of Grumps and expect to not cringe at Star Bomb? That means you missed out on what a fricking pathetic, self proclaimed pill addict human being Danny Sexbang (yes, his name should always be fully spelled to mock him) is. Who, like Jon, basically ran the whole fricking show while Arin sat next to him saying "Yeh." like AVGN these days. That guy was creative and a voice actor and was neither creative, nor a voice actor on Grumps. And he got even lazier once he realized you can make money while gaming or talking, just like many other animators did (Jellopocalypse, Zone).

        My moment when I stopped giving a shit was when they invited him on stage at some con, maybe it was E3, maybe Penny Arcade, I forgot, to play a game and he was extremely embarassing. You just wondered how such a person got so much fans.

        Also his wife is so fugly it makes me angry, and he tried to shill her hard.

        Dan is quickly getting to an age where it's no longer cute to go by "Danny Sexbang" unironically. I wonder if he's going to try for rebranding soon.

        All evidence points to the opposite but for the reasons you mentioned. Jon wanted to keep game grumps a once a week throw away filming while they both worked on their main things. Arin liked the low commitment high return and wanted game grumps to be the focus. The E3 when they were blowing up Jon got super drunk and missed events they had planned the next day because gg was not a big deal to him. Arin was super straight edge at that time and was pissed because he knew game grumps was the golden egg and thus they fell apart.

    I stuck with the Game Grumps thing uncomfortably fricking long considering the direction it was clearly headed. I just wanted the edgy humour he used to do, but then I realised that by the time it was completely gone I was regretting having ever wanted it in the first place. He caters a majority of his stuff to kids now from what I've seen.

      I think when he gave Danny shit one live stream for being "mean" to something fictional, is when i was officially over it.

      Arin was clearly going through some shit, drinking during the live streams. TRYING to see what would work, and make being an online celebrity fulfilling after 5+ years. I'm only partially sorry for him, but he put all that shit on himself to try and keep his 'business' together, when youtube is a shitty platform to try and maintain a career on.

      So I get it, that he wanted to avoid his channel being demonetized YET again, and had tell his co-star, who is 1000% more put together and mentally stable than him, that he was being "offensive" was so fricking crazy to listen to. Arin doesn't HAVE to do any of the things that he put on himself, but it's Danny's fault for wanting to have fun with his friend.

      Yeah I forgot what the "offensive thing" was, I think danny called a fictional girl a prostitute as a joke. It was something that when they started doing grumps together was apart of their skits constantly.

    I know there were a lot of youtubers that I lost interest in over the years, but for me, the biggest thing I dropped was when I was a tween. Ironically, it was cartoons. I just could not get into the new crop of toons in the early 2010s like Adventure Time and Regular Show. They all seemed so kiddy and stupid to me. On top of that, the only other toons were the mighty B and Fanboy, which both sucked. It was either that or mediocre shit like squirrel boy. I just could not care, so I stopped watching them and turned to reality TV. I still kept in touch with the community through rebel taxi, but that was it. Ironically, as well, I got more into comics as an adult.

      Maybe you could give Regular Show another chance. I was on my 20s when it aired and I related to the characters and woes a lot but at the same time laughed at the out there borderline stoner humor scenarios. I also appreciated the small tidbits like Mordo and Rig owning a Master System.

      And of course, in my 30s I enjoyed Close Enough big time.

    Some of his stuff was fine but I came across it all out of order. So the last of his Egoraptor stuff I watched was probably the nurse joy farting fetish joke thing and that was when I stopped watching the content. Ironically, all these years later, and he's still heavily into joking about women shitting and farting. It's not even just a general issue of staying childish and making lowbrow humor, it's that garbage specifically that made me also stop bothering with Game Grumps, which I enjoyed for his other co-hosts to begin with.

I quoted the DBZ one to a friend at work who understood it and we had a laugh about it but I wouldn't go back and sit through these over all, they're too akward and genuinely not funny

      It probably doesn't help that ive watched/listened to endless hours of animations, podcasts, and oneyplays by these guys now. Im just more desensitized to their sense of humor. So its not going to be as piss your pants funny anymore, but its still obviously good.

      Video game parody in general is bottom of the barrel entertainment. I'd sooner click on a "Cats doing funny things compilation" than look at another animation of Pokemon killing each other like a real wiener fight or Mario getting high on shrooms. So much of these punchlines are just the same fricking thing to the point where I ALMOST found DiggedyDemon's "Luigi's Day Out" to be funny just on the virtue of it being different and unexpected.

          Nintendo is popular. Nintendo gets easy views+upvotes+likes+whatever. Nintendo games are very cartoony and silly, so real world logic or shock humor applied to Mario or Pikmin is an easier punchline.

          The only time I've liked video game comics is when they reference TF2, but that's just because TF2 is inherently funny on its own.

    I remember really enjoying this when I was around 12 or so. I came around to it during the submarine arc and periodically checked the website for new episodes. I even remember showing my friends and looking back, I can't remember if they thought it was cringey and were just humoring me, or if they were also dumb kids who thought it was funny. I can't remember their reaction at all.

    Anyway, I got older, forgot about it. Thought about it randomly, tried to go to the website and of course the website was gone and the episodes were no where to be found. Then time passed, I discovered all the episodes were re-uploaded and on YouTube, and got hit with a huge wave of reality as I thought to myself how much this web series fricking sucked. The only good episode is the LAN one and that's just because half the jokes are stolen.

        I used to follow all that sonic sprite comic shit like a hawk back in the day.

        Anyway, he used to have a really crappy podcast called wha-chow, And Gaijin Goomba was a guest on one of the later episodes. And psyguy actually fricking comes up with the idea for the video, says out loud "you should make a baby got back parody but with your hot goomba babe oc" and this dumb motherfricker Gaijin Goomba goes "That's a great idea!" and actually does it like 2 weeks later.

        tldr: Gajin got the "Goomba got back" idea wholesale from a completely different but equally autistic lolcow, psyguy.

                It's what they deserve. They ruined the DBZ fanbase, which I thought is impossible because it's already pretty bad, with the abridged. The last few seasons weren't even that funny because those cucks kept putting in their politics, calling random shit sexist and making gay shipping fanfics. I like to imagine that it hit them like a truck when the view counts on all their non-abridged content was a tiny fraction of what the main series was raking in.

        Almost all of it was bad because most internet people back then thought being loud equaled funny. I always look back on the hypocrisy of people who used to watch Newgrounds stuff saying it was peak comedy while shitting on guys like Fred saying how gay that shit was when they were basically the same things: being loud and autistic/spastic

          The problem with Fred was that it was low quality effortless trash.
          The reason Newgrounds stuff got a pass is because animation at least took effort, and there was a funny aspect to seeing art reduced to something so derivative.
          It wasn't just loud screaming. It was screaming with a passion. And the better that animation was, the screaming unironically became funnier.

          Loud can be funny (looney tunes and SpongeBob even did it at times with the screaming) but it’s all in the execution and the amount they did it

        >To be honest almost 90% of old internet humor is pretty cringeworthy looking back. sure there was a charm in it's simple and wild community which is completely gone now, but the actual quality of those videos and series are a lot worse than I remember
        Almost all of it was bad because most internet people back then thought being loud equaled funny. I always look back on the hypocrisy of people who used to watch Newgrounds stuff saying it was peak comedy while shitting on guys like Fred saying how gay that shit was when they were basically the same things: being loud and autistic/spastic

        Hell people STILL think being loud equals funny, instead of screaming they just replace it with clips of memes screaming

        The reason Loud was equal to Funny back there is because the internet wasn't all over the place. So when it happened it was actually funny because it wasn't all over the place.

        Look, imagine a meme spreading in 2010 and one spreading in 2020, the one in 2010 people would just laugh, it would stay for 2-3 years and people would just forget about it (or not, some still holds ground to this day.) now in 2020, people will literally overuse them, post in every way possible, companies will spam them to increase customers and the memes in itself will have thousands of explanations about them, and then in 1 week it just goes away, forever. Remember all the dream memes of him cheating? Or the Among Us silhouette that appeared everywhere? Don't you think of them as being cringy? Sure you could say the old ones also are cringeworthy, but as

        said, there was a charm in it's simple and wild community that simply won't exist ever again. Something that I also enjoy is how Cinemaphile's memes (even if annoying) like Sneed or Basedjaks or Pepefrogs simply won't die, they aren't forced by any company and only used by users.

        Hell, even thinking back, most genres that were popular on the internet in 2000s-2010s were also loud, or agitated, like Nightcore.

          That's the fricking worst part of this website at this point.
          Memes aren't supposed to last forever.
          The reason those ones have lasting power is because their users are stuck in a permanent newbie mentality.
          It feels like people used to come here on their own accord.
          Now people come here because they have no where else to go.

As yourself said and I couldn't say it better, the only reason people still come in here is because there is nowhere to go, and it keeps attracting new people, because there really is no community around the internet and Cinemaphile is the only reminiscing thing about the Internet.

    Arin has become such a hypocritical butthole that the majority of former Newgrounds animators don't want to have anything to do with him and Danny, who used to be a pushover of the highest caliber, started giving Arin shit during playthroughs.

            Turn his audience against him how exactly? Is that character controversial?

            Kohaku is very clearly designed for the e-girlcon audience (NOT surprising, Inti themselves are very much e-girlcons to the point they mention being disappointed when Dominique was aged up when the illustrator Natsume pitched her as a e-girl) and goes around on panties and top crop, with only a front skirt and the jacket covering her. In the iX OST booklets, Toshiaki Tai even call the series "The Gunvolt spinoff aimed at adults".

            The character is controversial within the western GV fandom because a lot live on some weird denial that this is real CP and Inti are somehow forced into doing them. The preorder poster where Kohaku is nude, having a bath with the android girl Null outright broke minds in that cursed fandom.

                Kind of difficult. iX was when producer Matt Papa began translating the games himself so they wouldn't be censored (the first GV1 translation was some 4kids level of shit, he retranslated the whole first game solo), and the story revolves around her and a group of (much younger) children she takes care of, as they're the remains of a human resistance surpressed by the Adept government (the inverse of the X-Men, where mutants rule the world and humans are the surpressed minority, so much they are now called Minos).

                I’d slap a label on it for the AmeriBlack folk, fine she’s 18 or a 300 year old android, and keep it as is for everywhere else in the world, Burgerland is easy to appease so long as you keep other cultures away from their dumb bullshit. They are still on a long cope on both side of their political spectrum about Brigette from Guilty Gear “NOOOO SHE’S NOT TRANS” and “YEEEEES, SHE IS TRANS, IGNORE THE ORIGINAL CANON GOY”

                Kohaku is central to the plot and you can't really write around her age as she's the heroine/love interest to the titular iX, Copen as he's established as being 14 in GV1 and GV2 and making her 100 years would cause a massive plot hole. (This was before the Vice President of Inti became insane and GV3 fricked up everything). You either accept or tolerate Kohaku for what it is. But that's not how people are on social media.

                Threaten by companies that would hire them, people in the industry or who?

                Also Buu saga is the most ridiculous one, that one is a goldmine of untouched content they could have lambasted. DBZ is still popular nonetheless and they could have squeeze what was left of that series before disappearing into the void of irrelevance they are now.

                Apparently anime dub VAs are extremely petty and despise Abridgers and fandubbers and push for them to be blacklisted if they don't stop.

                I want to say the drama started with the Dragon Ball Super Broly giving Vic top billing because he, y'know, voiced Broly.
                And some other VAs took umbrage to that

    I didn't, but he stopped making shit. I know he did some shitty cartoon pitch that wasn't the least bit entertaining. But Siivagunner made a Grand Dad Awesome parody and it fricking slaps. So it's not the matter of the humor getting stale as much as he just changed.

    I feel the same way for most creators. They have a weird drive to try and "out do" their prior works, and it burns them out. Yu-gi-oh Abridged is a good example of this. He should just go back to doing 2 minute audio dubbed episodes instead of doing the "We're still here" shit where he cries into a camera for 20 minutes. I'm pretty sure those 12-20 minute episodes he's doing are just fricking soul crushing.

    As an artist myself, I think people need a reality check. Especially if you're not a team or studio, just make shit that's small. It's healthier and frick anyone who complains it's not bigger or "better". The audience is fricking stupid and doesn't really know what they want until you give it to them.

    I don't even know where to begin with this as someone who still enjoys some of the creators that have come out of Newgrounds.

    Egoraptor was always a c**t. Granted, he was someone who made us get a couple of laughs with the awesome series just for a few shits and giggles but that's really about it.

    Starbomb has some decent animation at the very least, the thing is, it's the same shit he always did. Nothing new or exciting and between him fricking over who he works with and shooting down other creators I just can't help but hate him at this point.

    The thing that bugs me is that he's the least sincere creator out of everyone that has come out of NG and it's not going to pass me if he does something that will cause him to lose all the clout he ever got as a result from Game Grumps because to me, it just seems like a ticking time bomb given his history of BS.

      Its an easy job for a slacker like him to just play video games and pass the editing, rendering and everything else to whatever staff he has.

      Danny is a harder worker than Arin on his own but I doubt he’d give up getting paid for sitting around watching Arin play video games.

                It's interesting how all these people from the California content creator circle are almost all the same. Normies love talking about the fall of Idubbbz and all the other gays from his circle but most people who have known about the shit regarding the Grumps are already used to the fact that these people are grifters that don't actually care about the "moral standards" they seem to uphold.

            I'm guessing since you're calling yourself a huge racist, we have similar traits where we just casually say slurs to our friends who are also comfortable saying slurs back without a second thought. I probably say Black person in jest at least five or six times a day. It's already out of our system.

            Though, even when I wasn't a racist, I didn't have to urge to scream it in private because I HAD to get it out of my system. So I dunno.

You can be a pretty tolerant and accepting person and still see a video of people acting rowdy at a McDonalds and thinking, "Of course it's a black neighborhood".

                Though, Arin does strike me as a genuine racist who just conceals it due to the crowd and friends he attracts.

                That's a moronic eye-for-an-eye line of thinking, every group of people on earth has been enslaved at some point, often by foreign groups.
                Africans enslaved other Africans and sold them to Europeans.
                Hell, Africans enslaved and sold Europeans, look into the Barbary slave trade/pirates.

                said, slavery is not exclusive to African history. And most people today in America and their ancestors had nothing to do with plantations, so it makes no sense to believe you they owe you anything just for not being black.
