You Loid ta me!

Yeah I noticed that

Seriously, as soon as they mentioned people had hyped it up, all I could think of was that trash Spongebob game they played...

@@grabble7605 Nah, not only is Battle for Bikini Bottom actually good, it got a remake. And that sold so well, the studio that developed the remake got to make their own original follow up Spongebob game

Yes! That's exactly what is like! 🤣👍

Which also explains burning the house down

It’s really giving me “server who is at the end of their shift and just got one last table so they’ve gotta throw on a smile to make that money” vibes but that might just be my personal experience

"I don't want to be here or do this, but I said I would, and I'm a man of my word...but I don't have to be happy about it," kinda vibes. And then they (sort of?) enjoy the game.

My favorite comment this week.

I was scrolling for this comment lol

I'm so glad I read this before watching the episode. I have so much to look forward to now.

Exactly what I was thinking lmao

WHATEVER, IT'S 2009.

Hitting, and hitting *on*

Right he's into anime

Badass is one way to put it... most shows like that just end up being very cringey.

Not only that, he's also a fan of Joss Whedon

Binged the whole series last year, Liked it up until the last two seasons... never watched the Spin Off though.

Stop motion is awesome.

@Phawnix okay

Volume is way too low though, can barely hear them

@Phawnix I'm sorry but I can't simply find it. I can't find the answer to: WHO ASKED?

omg i LOVE the claymation intros (read with Arin's nasty girl voice)

Damn, the Willow impersonator is pretty on point then.

Allyson Hannigan and Sarah Michelle-Gellar? Yeah, they were just about the only ones having a career outside of the property at the time and afterwards... makes sense. Oh, except for Seth Green, but he does everything anyway

Really? The only two that sounded right were Xander & Giles.

Anya passed as well

@@seamusburke639 No, she isn't.

it's just that arin never completely searches an area. he pinballs from one area to the next, hoping to stumble on the answer. gotta love him though

Where was it? I was guessing "there's another way door" but how do you open it?

@@SkySpiral7_Lets_play in the area with the sundial, it's behind the graves on the right. He checked the ones on the left but not the right.

@@lordlemmingman Ah ok. It's hard to tell what he misses when he runs around randomly instead of doing a systematic sweep. Granted he's just trying to get through it fast whereas my first let's play of hollow knight took forever.

It's genuinely unreal how bad they are at videogames hahaha

That was soooo GD frustrating to watch. This game gives you decent hints but doesn't completely hold you hand, and it's like the boys just can not deal with that.

@@capned Welcome to Game Grumps

@capned they played an isometric hello kitty game for babies with a compass that took up about 1/8 of the screen and always pointed to the next objective. They got lost. No amount of handholding would ever help them.

tbf the game talks alot so its hard to know whats important and whats not

@@capned Are you kidding? They fuck up when the game DOES hold their hand. The only way they wouldnt fuck up is if the game took control away from them and did it automatically.

Yeaaaahhhh a lot of people dont realize willow really only is weak in the group compared to Tara for most of the show and it much later that she gets stronger than her too. If i recall correctly by the end point of the show she is one of the most powerful characters in the cast

they also introduced that shes a witch at the beginning of the game

i think it was later than season 2, but yeah she becomes powerful enough to stand up against glory who was a literal god

Arin skips past that kinda stuff in games a lot and then gets frustrated that he doesn't know what to do

Yeah it’s the only one that has a different dialogue too lol

What's the way to open the door? I'd assume attacking it but Arin kicked it and it didn't open so what else is there? /gen

Yeah I didn't see a door on the side and nothing to jump onto and I thought they kicked that door. So the only other thing I can think of would be a breakable wall which would be really stupid for thick stone walls.

I looked up a walkthrough to see where the last piece was and it is not behind that one door. In fact, that locked door is what the sundial puzzle opens... because video game logic. Unlike the other pieces the last one isn't inside a room which is kind of counter-intuitive. It's hidden behind some random gravestone somewhere in this large area. Really can't blame them for not finding it.

I found it slow paced. Is that just the first few episodes?

@@meganheartswell that's like the whole first season

@@That_Lady_Charlie ok thanks maybe I'll try it again sometime. I think I would love it but the slow pace annoys me.

Yeah, I recently watched it for the first time as well. Always love seeing where some tropes we now see as common came from, so this was a treat.

@Zur eth Season 1 is extremely cheesy and yes has not aged well, but there is a charm to it that really dies at the end of season 3. Season 2 i think is its apex. I stopped watching during Season 4. the college shit was so boring, although i heard Season 5 was pretty good

oh my god I could HEAR that quote in my head

That qualifies as a joke? What's the punchline?

​@@L33PL4YShe's a girl

@@juliesailor1008 What's funny about being a girl?

I'll never forget about Laura Schmidt.

I adore Laura Schmidt but "Ho ho ho, what the fuck, I can't get any signal here" Katherine is probably my favorite

Gurrrl Powur!

I love their feminine voices -they make me lol so much! 😂😂😂

Aka their entire Resident Evil playthrough

I had zero clue as to who or what anyone was. I got so confused and left behind by the game, I pretty much just turned my brain off -- like walking into a movie 1/3 of the way through.

I’ll let you know…because I haven’t seen a single episode of Buffy 😆

I played this before I watched the show (I think the game actually made me go check out the show!), but I still found it p fun! I got to be a cool lady protagonist fighting vamps (and a witch!) at a time when that wasn't a common option in video games! I think I was a youngish teen at the time :)

​@@MichaelKinyonZoomer? This show was from 1997 🤣

We had this game when I was a kid, maybe 8 or 9. I thought it was very cool and a lot of fun, though the hospital level wigged me out. Scary stuff for a young kid lol. Did eventually watch all of Buffy and Angel many years later. But yeah, the game was still a lot of fun without any context.

I'll give dollars to donuts Arin still has a tonne of crap right in front of the TV so they can't see the bottom of it where the text lives.

He's talking about the characters talking in the background. It's a very quippy game.

the amount of dialogue going on in the audio, and not matching with the instructions on the screen, made it super hard for me to focus on that, and I'm not even playing the game. I get what he means

@@Archgeek0super off topic but “dollars to donuts” is one of those phrases that has aged out of relevance. Since the premise is you’ll wager a full dollar against a single donut, from a time donuts cost pennies. Donuts are now effectively a dollar at, say, Dunkin Donuts. $0.99 for one, $0.83~ per for a dozen. Give it twenty years of inflation at the average rate of the past 100 years and it’ll start implying the opposite cost balance as it originally did. Like “blood is thicker than water” means the opposite because of a social increase in the euphemism “blood relations.” It was originally “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” or “the family you chose is more important than the family you were born to.”

@@demonzabrak HEH, mostly fair, but you can find 49 cent donuts here and there, especially when local shops have sales. Yeah, a number of old sayings have gotten their intended meaning reversed, usually by omission of key portions.

both correct. everyone but Sarah Michelle Gellar and Allyson Hannigan were on board.

One day when I was really bored I got to the conclusion that it takes place between 5x17 and 5x19 Buffy has her pre-resurrection personality, so pre s6 Tara isn't insane, so pre 5x19 Joyce is dead, so past 5x17

was that before or after Willow became a lesbian. im wondering if thats in the game.

@@A2Z83 Well Tara is in the game, and she knows the rest of the group, so yeah I'd say it was after Willow came out.

supposed to take place halfway through season five or something, at least post 'the body' because joyce is dead. tho that's kinda funny to me because it's like "let's take a break from stopping the hellgod that wants to kill my sister and open a portal that will bring hell on earth for a cute little jaunt down memory lane"

It's still doing reruns on TV although I'm sure it's somewhere streaming as well :)

@@CrazeeAdam you can stream anything from anywhere with Nord VPN(tm)!

It’s on Hulu last I watched it. I would encourage anyone to watch it. It’s extremely good

I also HIGHLY recommend everyone watch it, bear with the first season, it's..... mostly awful, but S02-on it's a pretty flawless show.

@@procrastinator99 lol if you wanna talk awful, the buffy the vampire movie that came before the show lmao

Buffy has a stake in that :)

Game of Thrones for me

Kamen Rider Kiva.

Nerf Herder

The Angel theme “Sanctuary” is better IMO.

Twin peaks

👍🏻 (i'm racist)

A classic 80’s hit. A bop.

This. Please.

Dan would be too in love with the music to pay attention to much else.

Last I heard he was in jail for something so that kind of checks out. Seems like his life took a bad turn once Buffy was over and he could barely get any new work.

Get the Xbox game. It's just called 'Buffy the Vampie Slayer.' It came out a couple years before this game did but it's SO much better. It plays pretty much like this game but with better design, better graphics and a much better game engine (which is called The Slayer Engine).

@@Randomninja47yeah i think he had a pretty bad alcohol problem, i remember he was in a few episodes of criminal minds and that’s about it lol

''It's a wild Burgie holy shit''. Read in Arins old man on rocket chair voice from Guts'n Glory 😂

I don't think I can bear to watch them miss the sundial piece for five more episodes.

For context (for those who are even interested in that), the torturers were asking him to make a guilty or non-guilty plea so that they could proceed with their bogus investigation, as they wanted his property and needed to have him found guilty of being a witch (if he pleaded non-guilty, they would find him guilty at the sham trial). He however refused to make any plea, constantly repeating "More weight" to have them continue their torture so that when he died, the torturers were unable to steal his property from him and it would go to his family.

@@resileaf9501 yep! Crazy story. I'm pretty sure the property is still with the family (although distant, from my fork of the tree) to this day.

wow i never knew giles corey was a real person i’ve only heard of him from the crucible lol

I know. I have the whole series on DVD, but the only episode I consistently rewatch is the damned musical.

Lol

My Wife and I literally finished the series in the summer. She had never seen the whole series, and I own the whole thing. She loved it!

@@kevinthecleric now on to angel

Good times. Back when they used to do multiple shorter videos per day so they could have multiple playthroughs going on at a time.

I'm sure they'll get around to a full playthrough at some point. I just hope it's not another Danganronpa game. Those games are fun to watch be played but good lord are they long and, IMO, poorly written. I could see them starting Sonic Frontiers at some point. Or maybe they'll continue the Ace Attorney series (I really hope they do this tbh).

I am heavily surprised they didn't play Sonic Frontiers yet? One problem is Arin genuinely hates genuinely great games and viewers tend to get pretty annoyed (see God of War, Spiderman, and more). Plus I think viewership drops after a few eposides. But I'd expect them to play Sonic Frontiers maybe, and maybe like, when the next Zelda comes out. Those are two franchises they can't stay away from for long

Yeah, but they did do a summer of touring (and helping other channels tour), as well as go through Danganronpa, as well as plan Ghoul, Guest, and Jingle Grumps. Maybe in the spirit of the holidays, we can chill a bit.

@@CrazeeAdam These are recorded pretty far in advance though. They might have already played Sonic Frontiers, but just have another month of episodes to go through first.

Sad

Saddest story of all time

You gotta get a life bro

Jeez it's not sad, dude. chill. You do you, OP. Don't let this person make you feel bad.

@@Thimble-berry thank u fam I'm good it's not a sad thing

The first 3D game was on Xbox. It's like this but way more refined and better designed. It ran on a different engine which was a lot more powerful than this one. Like the Xbox game is actually a hidden gem.

It's more or less exactly the type of fighting done in the show
