I thought the exact same thing

Every time!

Im still glad we're here

It was only going to end one way with them, reading, and retention of details. Failure

I think they post videos like this for the rage engagement sometimes. I'm about to blow a blood vessel at the ridiculous amount of unfounded confidence I'm witnessing.

I know right!? Buck. Wild.

that’s just men

LMAO

The average arrogant delulu incompetent coworker.

​@@iOysterZoml too true💀💀

Did the same thing with the first round and Hank. Guy complains about brown piles and they picked literally the only animal that didn't leave behind brown piles lol

@@JonahTV In all fairness for this specific case, a LOT of people misunderstand Hank's predicament due to how he talks about the problem. "Piles of crap" and "huge piles of brown" don't do anything to specify that he's _not_ talking about fecal matter.

yeah I hadn't even started the episode yet but this is about what I expected. Arin is mentally incapable of paying attention or thinking about a problem if he isn't personally interested. This isn't an actual preclusion. I have the same disorder he does and I assure you that it can be overcome with effort. He just makes no effort.

And yes, it requires much more effort with ADHD than it would for a normal person (again same disorder, severe diagnosis) but the thing is either don't play a game you won't be able to invest in or make the effort because it's literally your job Arin. Your job is play games. So put in the effort to pay attention to the game.

​@@Darthquackius take a look at yourself. you're yelling at a classic KZfaqr througha comment section, telling him to do his job. i do understand where you're coming from, but this is how Arin is. why stress himself out when this is pretty funny too?

it's killing me

and then "you guys told me it was a hobb and I didn't take your advice seriously, now something is messing with my power" "definitely a lamp sprite"

Six to seven foot tall dog

​@@ImTheMayorthis, I had it on in the background and was like no no no!

Welp, that playthrough attempt went… pretty much exactly like I expected 😂 Maybe 7 foot tall dogs soothed by cream-consumption are only native to a small area in SoCal.

If I know anything about these two men, you're dead on

I bet he says "kiss your dad" one time

​@@shaneschachle "mah dad"

23 minutes in and you seem to be right 😂

Arin suggesting to Dan "we should kiss" or something to that extent.

Can Arin Hanson let me in on the secret

@@blakewhite3131 Arin Hanson for legal reasons cannot

Well, mine is dead, so most likely… in the ground

@@thatcottagecorewitch5910ayyy same boat (but mines a bit… dustier)

@@bfitz5610 shoot :(

Are you saying the correct answer on that one was black mold? Because nothing about that sounded like black mold. Anything could make him sick.

@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai Yes, the correct answer was indeed black mold.

The answer to that one was ticks.

@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai everyone in the house was getting headaches and sick.... it's mold

the answer to that one isn't actually even black mold, its ticks from the uncut grass

"He didn't put out the cream and paid the price" is going on my grave

@@afanontheceiling 🤣

Plump, sweet, and begging for cream

I was saying out loud 'sir sir sir! Did you put out the cream?!?!???!' I almost can't believe they didn't pick up on the fact the guy didn't actually follow the advice

@@strawbert879 To be fair the wording is a bit ambiguous on whether or not the guy actually put out the cream, but reading more into it would suggest he didnt. I don't expect our boys here to read into things too deeply lol

Fracture hobbs specifically. Fracture hobbs make fractures in the structure, structure fractures make the beams rub together, beams are made of wood, wood rubbing together makes fires. Couldn't be more obvious

No mother, it’s just the Northern Lights!

I mean, Arin is a low bar to set, but good for you.

Hahahaha! That's exactly like what those mobile game ads try to do, show gameplay so bad that you want to so it yourself

@@vogelvrouw Difference being, Arin is actually trying

@@Ronny33140Yikes…lol Yeahhhh this was never meant for them 🤣 This requires about as much consious thought as an actual job lol Great looking game though! Looks sick! I’d play it! Seems like a good smoking game to peacefully contemplate while masking my dark thoughts and extreme depression, anxiety, and rage 😂

I ended up doing that as well, cause I wanted to see the good ending so "guess I better do it myself" 😂

"This says raccoons are nocturnal. That means they must be best friends with bats, right? So the answer is probably bat."

The good part is all the callbacks from the incorrect answers that you don't typically get to hear because most people who play this game get way more answers correct.

Pheonix Wright changed them😂😂

@@CommanderWiggins YES! i never knew moles had a paranormal twist until now! i kinda want them to keep playing until they get every wrong answer.

I thought raccoon. I forgot stair slugs were about stairs.. and he said he couldn't see it ON the stairs, so it was BELOW the stairs.

@@KairuHakubi fair, but he mentioned the size of the dog, slithering, and he still mentioned the stairs which felt intentional to draw the players attention towards that.

@@Skeyechi yeah this is one of those games where learning 'how to play' is kinda part of it. Like figuring out what clues they're going to give you, which is obviously not how this would work in real life.

What dog is 7 feet tall

@@DunantheDefender well in fairness, if you average out the meat of a 7-foot-long slug, you get about dog mass.

Wow you nailed it

Totally accurate. Also, if they have to focus they don't really do or say anything entertaining. The funnies come when they can say off the wall stuff from casual gameplay. Personally this is why I don't like most of the board game episodes because it suffers from a similar problem. But don't get me wrong, I like the company of the boys regardless.

It's why I disagree with all the fans who got them to continue Papers Please.

I wanted to throw my phone at the wall when arin fixated on the bowl of cream and thought tea spirit

@@covereye5731 Papers Please makes me want to bang my head against a wall:P

Yes, I'd say that if the whole Grump thing ever fell through, Arin should NOT become a phone operator... especially not for customer service.

As someone who works the phones as customer service, this is entirely accurate.

Funny thing is, the slug's description literally states that it's the size of a dog.

@@Bluesit32 Yeah, but that requires reading and maybe checking more than 2 options

Yeah! He's got one of those Nemian UltraHounds, like they used to breed in the Valley.

Could be a great dane

What blows my mind too is Arin's thought process, beyond just forgetting everything else exists each time new info is made available. "Oh, stairs, boggart is shown near stairs, answer is obviously boggart", like holy SHIT, Arin.

Time to save and load a thousand times, so I don't get a permanent debuff.

It's pretty ironic, Arin has made fun of his critics for supposedly wanting nothing but perfect speedruns from him, then he encounters a game that requires you to have patience and take things at an easy pace and thoughtlessly rushes through it. And then wonders how he got the bad ending.

"if they actually took the time to read the entries" -- Hello, you must be new here, welcome to Game Grumps!

Was the tutorial lawn mowing issue actually a tick? Because they like long grass & could have made the kid sick.

i dont know how long ago they played this but an update showed how accurate you all throughout the whole day. so if you chose a wrong answer it would show you that the accuracy when down.

@@HermititisYes, it's ticks.

That's what I thought too.

**slow clap, building to a standing ovation**

Hobbsalutly

I will cry for them at their Hobbituary

Hobbviously

It seemed like he was going to take his time, but Dan was worried there might be an invisible time limit based on how long you kept the callers on hold. I think that assumption caused them to start rushing.

​​@@gido9467To be fair, I thought the same way when I played this lmao. Something about this type of information game, plus the narrative of having a phone call with impatient people really reflexively puts the pressure on you to be quick, which is probably part of the point

@@Vooblebooble That stands to reason. Good point; almost makes me wish there WAS a time mechanic, if maybe a gentle one.

on the other hand, if you've ever called company before, you should how long you can actually be on hold for. although then they wouldn't have even finished the first day, so.

@@gido9467 I would love a time mechanic IF there was a small window to read up before the calls start coming. Granted, this way is more realistic

They got access to those two at the same time.

@@Bluesit32 rly? well, it sure felt like they read Boggart much later.

@@TheSpektrum1989 Yeah, they definitely read "stair slug" first.

no they didn't@@Bluesit32

The answer is always "bad at the game."

​​@@demonzabrakYes, but are they being intentionally bad for comedy or are they legit oafs. It's really hard to tell sometimes as both are true.

@@demonzabrakI don’t know, Arin seemed more off his game than he usually is and sounded kinda grumpy for most of the episode. He was talking like people talk when they have a headache and are trying not to let it affect their mood.

@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai Yeah, man definitely needed to get a bite to eat before recording.

Arin is a ham so we know this is genuine.

What makes it even worse is that they said it was a common hobb, and the guy clearly indicated that he didn't follow the advice, which they should have known if they actually read the entire entry for the common hobb.

well those were weird four-fingered hands, mices don't have those.. and they were crude real props, that comes off as 'strange goblin creature' since we're used to those being puppets.

Granted, by not getting much far, half-reading the files and not watching any forbidden video they managed to not be aware of the smart mice at all :')

he walked through that whole game oblivious and he'll die never knowing how oblivious he was.

How would he know about a smart mouse lol

@@KairuHakubi Dude. They're literally prop mouse hands.

I think he was having a rough day already 😅

I'd be heartbroken too if I got turned into the very creature I kept accusing.

I enjoyed seeing the callbacks for incorrect choices. I have never seen those before.

Was screaming at my screen “Arin! That! Is! A! Boggart! He is going to die!”

​@@solyypro8483damn what a brutal back-handed compliment. "Oh, these failure states are so novel, I've never seen them before"

Also it may upset those beneath the soil, very bad idea

@@yaboiren5003 exactly, and on top of that they’re very cute

They till the soil and make it easier for plants to grow as well.

Also snakes can end up taking home in the holes instead

Is this a whack a mole joke?

That's the beauty of Game Grumps for you. You get to discover all kinds of stuff you never would otherwise if you're good at video games, like seeing what the Game Over screens in incredibly easy games look like, or learning little “secrets” like Maria helping out in the prologue of Symphony of the Night if you’re performing that badly already, or hearing what it sounds like when a guy who sucks as an adult at a game 10-year-olds were acing when it was new and there was no internet to assist them decides Super Mario 64 is and always was garbage because he’s mad that he can’t complete relatively simple tasks and that's somehow the game's fault.

@@ElFreakinCid sounds oddly specific

On rare occasions though, it’s magical to see stubborn bullheadedness pay off. Like the steam vents in Toilet Princess.

Same. I was waiting for a Calvin joke.

Nah, this games a prologue to druid simulator, arin and Dan just got a game over

@@dyingstar24 two timelines. one druid, one mouse.

yyyUP

@@NyappyMelloZChanIndeed. Also, first time I've actually seen someone lose at this game. Good ol' GameGrumps.

​@@MrSkysenGames Reminds me of any time Arin plays a Mario, Sonic, or 3D Zelda game. 😂

I hope CallMeKevin plays this, so I can watch him intentionally fail lol

Is this a game?

​@@GeeEm1313 look I don't have time for your sass today

the way calls were coming in with no apparent relation to anything else happening told me that they were timed to the seen pace, I am relieved to hear it's not timed

yeah, as if adhd has anything to do with it. he didn't even try to read half the entries.

Jack also has ADHD.

as someone with adhd, this is definitely a game that would be a nightmare if you weren't interested or absolutely enthralling if you were. I would probably be interested for a solid few days before I lose interest completely.

​@unfriendlyghost the game is pretty short. There are only a couple days of gameplay, even if you space it out

Arin, like he's talking about an intensively detailed hobby after following the letter four times: I'm thinking about how I would write this H in calligraphy. His mind is a marvel to study :')

I just want to let you know that since the word "off" is on the second line, I briefly thought that your call center job somehow helped your sex life before I continued reading.

@@vigorouslethargy someone wanted to bang me there but nah. Married and polyam but I don't need that awkward eye contact.

yeah! you can say I did a bad job, but you can't say I didn't give it the gravity it deserves! I could just be incompetent! I'd rather be incompetent than negligent.

​@vigorouslethargy I did that too😂

A nod to you- smart mouse

🎵A little bit of hobbs that clean my things A little bit of teeth are in my sheets 🎵

if Mambo No. 5 was so good then why didn't Lou Bega ever make a Mambo No. 6? checkmate.

​@@miguelnewmexico8641 He couldn't make a sixth Mambo, or else he would upset the Mambo Hobb

Well…WHO YAH GONNA CALL?

@@dragonfye1 "We're ready to believe you."

You have a Fridge Hob.

Arin: Yeah it's a raccoon.

@@dragonfye1 He-Man!

Dan's "weehee" somehow made Elden Ring a little less despair inducing while I was playing it.

I doubt they're coming back to this one. The game is really short, so they could do it in one more episode, but the reading-heavy vibes were very off.

kArin

FELT. game grumps saves me all the time

Now you're alone with your thoughts and two comments!

don't think about the heat death of the universe and impending cessation of all possible life for eternity.

I think it's cause the caller called it "piles of crap" which they took literally. Like piles of racoon shit

@@jajajasputin8927 even that doesn't really make sense. Why would raccoons be shitting in that guy's yard so frequently and in such quantities he had to call pest control? Raccoons don't leave behind a lot of droppings

@@Penquinn14 no but they're the biggest animal on the list, I thought raccoons too.

have none of you all heard of mole hills...?

@@Mazurecki56 Yeah, mole hills can be both numerous AND pretty big individually, even if the moles themselves are small. That's what really baffled me about the Grumps immediately dismissing moles.

Seymour

@@animalxing8697 Butts.

You have so much faith in them

Bro skimmed all the way to the end after being up for 4 mins☠️

​@@mr.raccoon1999 It's a good joke, so I'd let it slide

@@That_Lady_Charlie They always serve them good jokes, just found it funny they already skipped to the end lol

Remember, this man makes more money each month than most of us do in a year.

@@Sonic8222Well, that seems to be the path to success in most places. America specifically

Guys......... he's entertaining because he's severely adhd, it isn't that fucking deep omg 😂 ​@@CaroGo

There's not as much replayability though. Like maybe if this had "levels" to it but it's very one and done

​@shyguyrocks1 Unfortunately, it does feel like more of a demo than full game. I hope they use the blueprint to expand upon the game plot. I want to be senior executive !!
