Super Mario Odyssey: Definition of a Gamer - PART 5 - Game Grumps

[@dem160d]

You beat Mike Tyson Dan. You're a gamer. Once you're a gamer, you're always a gamer.

[@theinternetpacifist4898]

Beating Mike Tyson should go on your list of qualifications.

[@hunterrogers757]

[@jkblackopsresistance]

​@@hunterrogers757Nah, then you're still a gamer, in memory 🙂

[@NinSonyFreakGames]

Right?

[@DiamonDust]

Good observation, Good job Nintendo

[@TheMossyrocker16]

I am 100% with Dan on this. I am the worst to watch movies with because I'm always thinking "Why would you do that?" Sometimes writers just don't think it through.

[@vlorenzosoleri]

But it's the writers' job to write good characters. We're right to point it out if they fail to deliver that, we're their consumers after all

[@smb-c3po]

I need someone to help us with the house someday soon, Jack and Mark can live here. I'd have to get rid of my cat Bootsy regardless especially 'cause of Jack's cat allergies. I'd still share my cookies with Jack and Mark as promised, I trust them LIKE A BOSS! Replies validate and multiple bots and attention whores, just report them! #fixthefakes

[@smb-c3po]

Hollywood are completely out of ideas at this point and aren't even trying to hide their greed.

[@vlorenzosoleri]

crashinator1 it's not about realism, is about consistency. Like Arin said, the character doesn't have to be realistic but his actions have to be consistent with the way you presented it. It would be out of character if, let's say, Rambo broke in tears while someone puts a gun to his head, but if Ross from friends had that reaction it would be perfectly in character. None of those characters are very realistic, but their reactions need to make sense for the audience to keep invested in the story

[@BetaNights]

I'm the opposite. Unless something is really bad or out of place, I'm just there for the ride. I don't overly question stuff. lol

[@Dovydumbo]

Starting an episode with arin saying “ Tits up”. It’s gonna be a gooooood episode.

Mario's the only guy I know that would go above and beyond for a girl, just to get cake *(literally cake)* in return.

[@sakume7969]

Yeah. Peach should give him some pie by now.

[@notsure1969]

[@numunu013]

The cake is a lie.

[@chrissikes7885]

[@ConnerTheWaffle]

Arin is so good at games

[@Sergio-Xotlanihua]

ConnerTheWaffle um is it actually you the real Conner or are you just an imposter or maybe a fan I just wanna know

[@liddytheweeb]

That or games have just gotten easy af over the years; it’s a fun game trying to figure out which is the answer for each series. Bonus points if it was released before 2010

[@funnyjoke3910]

Look at the check mark next to his name, that means he's verified

[@Gamer63200]

I think that's meant ironic, seeing how arin dies like 3 times in one minute at the end of the video.

[@ramonamartinez8647]

Oh yeah he is!

[@Davidk9292]

"Why have someone go 'AURGH!' for the millionth time, y'know?" I dunno, Arin. But it doesn't stop anyone watching Game Grumps, does it?

[@foxwhistle]

This is a Lets Play of the new game in the Mario Franchise called Super Mario Odyssey played by the Game Grumps; hosted by Arnold Handsoap and his trusty sidekick Danny Fenton.

[@oreo-postraphe]

Whismi Somewhere Obama is gonna pre. He's gonna fucking pre. (Side question: Neo pfp?)

[@MyScarsDoNotHeal]

Whismi stfu

[@RaccoonFoot]

Half-Jew, half-ghost.

[@0axel078]

Arin has it totally backwards. The cliché is for people to act cool and calm when a gun's in their face. Realistically freaking out is a subversion!

[@YaBoiBigNutz]

0Axel0 I think what he is trying to get across is that if characters in movies always freaked out like a real normal person probably would it wouldn't be interesting

[@dsn56]

There are people who wouldn't be freaked out though, not everyone is the same

[@paigethedork9693]

if someone is threatening to kill you, the best way to get out of the situation without any death, would be to stare them in the eyes, keep cool and keep talking. any sign of fear will most likely encourage them, specially in horror movies since they tend to enjoy fear.

[@toryslapper69]

Guns are the fucking cliché. I wish hollywood would have the guts to point a harpoon or a pampered chef dicer at the protagonist's head

[@krombopulos_michael]

Maybe it's just one of those things where the pendulum swings back and forth. Having a realistic fearful reaction was cliché so everyone wrote people playing it cool, and now that's the cliché.

[@RandomAcousticDude]

I'm loving this game for game grumps and hope they keep playing it. I find myself going "really? Come on has it been 11 minutes already?" When it ends. this is such a great series so far.

[@cbm3]

Ever since the second season of Real Rob came out Ive been waiting to see them on the show again, Im glad its happening.

[@Luessi92]

10:40 "Hell yeah, 7 Goombas....OH SHIT! THEY'RE ALL DEAD!"

[@macromondo8026]

y'know what? Danny's right, is refreshing seeing characters acting in more realistic ways, i was once held at gun-point (one of the darkest moments of my life, don't wish it to happen to anyone else even thought i know by statistics alone it will, many times in fact) and i was trying to be calm and do what i was being told, but not even a minute under it and i was already crapping myself, so yeah i agree with Danny characters acting like real people doesn't take someone out from the story/slows down things, it helps build up character and make them more relatable *also after that dark icident was over i went and binge-watched the whole Game Grumps Legend of Zelda Wind Waker, i needed some mayor happyness to feel better, thank you allot Game Grumps! =')*

[@avc9103]

That's an interesting coping mechanism.

[@macromondo8026]

admitingly allot of things hapenned in between, and mostly i binge-watched the episodes later that night when i was all alone and in the comfort of my room, my family had already helped me calm down and atm i just needed something to cheer me up, which they totally did =D

[@slamduncan3376]

Dont wanna, like, pry open an old wound or something but, what happened? You dont have to tell me if you dont want to, but im just curious

[@macromondo8026]

well i didn't spoke of it cuz i thought it'll be long and boring but if someone asks i have no problem answering :) y'see: i was going to the ophthalmologist to get my eyes checked up cuz i was in my college finals and lack of sleep was causing me some pain and issues with my vision so i wanted to take care of it, the doc told me not to worry after doing the check-up and dillating my pupils (you know the usual) so i get off the clinic half-blind almost feeling my way to the bus station when a stranger aproaches me to ask for directions, i'm halfway telling him how to get where he wanted to when he pulls out of his jacket a gun and holds it discreetly against my right side and says "walk with me, i don't wanna hurt you, just give me all you carrying and you can go" so the bastard basically makes me walk with him to an alleyway and for nearly 3 minutes he spent checking up whatever i gave him from my wallet, my pockets, my backpack and whenever i was done giving him something he kept saying "you have more, come on give me all you've got" and about the 3rd time he says this i've literally emptied my backpack of anything worth and i think to myself "this is it, i'm going to die a 24 years old just months before graduating from college, Dear god i don't want to die WHY is this bastard gonna kill me over fucking bread" ...long story short when the bastard finally let me go i just climbed into the first bus that arrived and had to tell the driver my story to explain why i had no cash on me to pay the ride (i live in Venezuela, and our country's ... *NOT OK* atm, allot of insecurity, and an economic inflation, plus corruption the likes of which makes us seem like a second Cuba in the making so the driver quite used to it just let me ride for free the 1 hour long ride till i finally got home, and i think for the first 20 minutes i couldn't keep my hands from shaking) so yeah, that's the story, hell it was just a bad day of one bad coincidence pilling upon another, robbed of my cellphone, all my money and even the frigging bread i bought so we could eat something at home (oh right, along with economic inflation we also have a food crisis, is rare to find what you wanna buy, i've lost like 50 pounds this year just from malnutrition, good thing i was F-A-T before lol

I get what you are going for but that’s like complimenting Obama on how famous he is.

[@superanxiety261]

If you love video games and love playing them you're a gamer!

[@dinolandra]

DJ Squishy but there are people who don't consider mobile games real video games

[@kevboard]

DJ Squishy no you're not. Gamer imo is the equivalent of "movie enthusiast", and I'm not a movie enthusiast just because I like to watch movies. a gamer for me is someone who is not just playing games but reads about them on a very regular basis, who analyses them, seeks the newest information about the gaming landscape and has deep knowledge about it. Like, if I asked someone what the first game Mario appeared in was, and he would answer Super Mario Bros, I would never call that person a gamer, even if he plays 10h a day... even if his answer was Mario Bros, that's still not close enough. I used this example because Mario is the quintessential video game character. he is the Mickey mouse of gaming, and if someone would call themselves a cartoon enthusiast and wouldn't know the origins of Mickey Mouse, he wouldn't really be a cartoon enthusiast would he?

[@dinolandra]

Kevboard Arts you're gatekeepimg for an identity that corporations have made up for marketing purposes

[@Janglur_gaming]

This just sounds so pretentious. A gamer should be someone who loves to game, and that's it. You can be an enthusiast without knowing the history of every well known entity in the genre you like. I agree with DJ Squishy, if you love video games and love playing them, you are a gamer.

[@Sashrunner]

Hell, I do same thing that Kevboard does (except for the judging of people's knowledge of games, cause come on) but I feel like a person who enjoys playing games and plays them often is a gamer. Now a person who does all that is game enthusiast, but even I know a mindset like that will not get people into the gaming scene nor will it sell to an audience of people well enough to last for a life time. Why do you think most Nintendo games are made for a younger audience? It's never too early to inflict the ever so loving bug of nostalgia into a new generation. Now if we are talking about quintessential game characters, the trophy would go Pacman. The recent Pacman game still holds a 10/10 in my book. =Y

[@technoneko8108]

they aint going to play two players until part 8

[@krystsource8473]

Techno Neko omg it’s mutilplayer!

[@technoneko8108]

right when they start the episode you can see the words two player in the pause menu

[@iTouchin]

Techno Oh my god... I never noticed that. Could you imagine if they finish the game without even knowing it!?

[@technoneko8108]

i touchin you know it is going to happen and you know its going to kill everybody

[@Penquinn14]

This game has two players?

[@reeebvc]

Now I love this game and please don’t stop playing it, but I MUST see a Sonic Forces playthrough. Not purely for the Arin reactions... but that helps

[@GrouchyGander]

I wanna see Arin's character.

[@Sashrunner]

Dude, I'm a Sonic fan and I second this notion!

[@skunthundler]

Sonic forces will be bad. But they’re gonna hate it for the wrong reasons

[@BikPlays]

Dog Island, Hat in Time, No touch Challenge, MCl, Evil Within 2, Paper Mario, Cup Head, Sneak King, Sonic Mania, Mario Rabbids, Miitopia, Zelda Master Trial, Zelda’s Adventure, etc. any other games the grumps are gonna start and not finish in a month time span?

[@MaxMangaArt]

The concept of being a "gamer" has been inflated way too much, there is no special requirement. You just have to be someone who genuinely loves playing video games, someone whose life has been impacted greatly by them, to be a gamer. You don't have to be some level 90 neckbeard who's sunk 500 hours into Overwatch and as a result can no longer communicate with people in real life, to be a "gamer." Play video games, enjoy them, but always remember that unless you're making a living off of them, your life should NEVER revolve around them.

[@redbigun]

Max Manga "But... But... Fake gamers!"- YoungDefiant 😆

[@krombopulos_michael]

Well your life could revolve around them if your social circle was all way into it.

[@TheAmazingTachan]

Max Manga See, this is what I was gonna say. As long as you enjoy playing video games, regardless of if you’re a pro or you just enjoy playing them, you’re a gamer.

[@jarlbalgruuf2415]

"Gamer" is a label. It's not something you call yourself because you played a game once.

[@Xtoff]

Does playing Candycrush qualify you as a gamer?

[@baconchickenforty-two]

Also the thing about the first alien was that everyone in it except for the evil robot is basically a space trucker. They've never really had to deal with anything similar to that at all before so when they do stupid stuff it makes sense for their characters

[@Ranylyn]

Hey, Danny, I don't expect you to see this because I know how toxic a cesspool comments can be. But, on the very off chance you do, here's my own personal take on "gamer" and why you fit my personal description. To me, being a gamer isn't about the time or the money, or even about passion in the moment. It's not about jobs versus hobbies. it's the emotional attachment. Your story about your grandmother during the Willow one-off shows me that there's definitely a part of you that has an emotional attachment to some games. I have stories like that, myself, which is why I feel confident saying this. As for me... my parents weren't exactly the most attentive, and I was basically raised by my older sister and video games. Games taught me all kinds of lessons, like math ("Okay, I have 5000 HP and the enemy hits me for 1000-2000 every time, when do I need to heal?" Shut up, that was me at AGE FOUR - yes, I was reading at age 4 and playing RPGs, due to my older sister) and even morality. Even though I don't have the money to buy new games anymore, Gaming is an important part of who I am, you know? This emotional attachment is probably a big part of why people get so toxic. Gaming helps a lot of us at low points in our lives, and if someone... say... has a deep attachment to Ocarina of Time... they won't take kindly to Arin pointing out it's flaws since they don't want to hear it. I know it's kind of stupid, and I wish people would stop, but... I mean, that's life, right? No one likes it when the people or things they like are attacked. So yeah. You may not always feel like one of us (And to be fair, neither do I; gaming culture is so toxic that sometimes it makes me not want to play games at all) but you are.

[@Shade_K]

Ranylyn well, I don't know if it was video games or your sister, but as far as comments go, the fact that you wrote such nice, balance and sweet comment leads me to believe that you're a pretty awesome person! And I agree with you about most of it by the way. Stay cool! 🤘

[@Ranylyn]

Thanks for your reply; it's quite encouraging to see positive discussion in these comments. Have a nice evening!

[@Sashrunner]

I'm with you on the same boat when it comes to the emotional attachment, gaming culture, and learning through games. Hell, I learned a basic understanding of physics from playing Sonic games when I was little (also being a sonic fan, I know quite well how it feels to have something you love looked down upon). Though I can't purchase new games and understand most of the gaming trends nowadays, I still enjoy the personal experiences with whatever games I can get. =Y

[@Ranylyn]

Fun fact: I also don't like FF7 (And really like FF5 despite it's faults) which leads to a lot of disagreements. People defend it so vehemently that I basically find myself NEEDING to use examples of parts that were poorly handled to convince them "No, I have played it, please quit the whole "enlighten the nonbeliever" thing." This, unfortunately, leads to fights because people are upset I'd go there. I basically buy coffee for FF7 fans I meet IRL who don't fight me over not liking it, since I appreciate their restraint. (And as for learning physics from games... Tales of Symphonia helped me memorize the force of gravity. 9.8 meters per second squared. Except they don't add the square, but it was a 10m deep hole, so... details.) That said, I'm admittedly on both sides of the whole "fanbase ruining things" debate. The FF7 fans, for example, have admittedly left me with so many negative feelings that a game I might have otherwise found tolerable and just mediocre is a game I would rather never play again. On the flipside, I love Undertale since it's genuinely fun, but I've seen how some fans act and it's like "Well gee, no wonder not everyone wants to play it," you know? They can't ruin everything for me, but I think that every fanbase can get under some peoples' skins.

[@Aesthetomancer]

Ranylyn well said on fanbases, well said.

[@GreenLinzerd]

[Dan sees bunny girl] "Look at this cutie!" More fuel for the "Dan is a furry" conspiracy.

[@Tjalfe_Sax]

“All you have to do is sneeze and I die” That aged well.

[@harukatakahashi8822]

Danny does play video games for a living but not very often and most the time Arin is playing while they both talk and make our lives happy by makinb us laugh and talk about some subjects that they're only allow to talk about. Dan just plays for fun and for nostalgia purposes (sometimes he helps Arin in a level and play together in 2 players) Arin plays for fun too, sometimes he's serious, most the time he dies and gets himself killed in alot of games. they're just people who enjoy playing video games and even playing video games that they don't like at all sometimes. a true gamer has to beat alot of video games,speedruns and know what glitches, secrets and cheats in the game too.

[@somekid2500]

Arin please do 2 player, I know your not that blind Though if you were that would explain a lot

[@mistertagomago7974]

[@MiksteR_RdY]

When will you fix the sound distortion when Arin gets loud? What does it come from? A faulty mic? Listen to videos where Arin screams. It just kills your ears. And no, it's not my headset. It's on my TV, on others' headsets, my analog headset, my digital headset, and on my phone. PLEASE take a look at Arin's mic and finally fix this.

[@jacobhaynes850]

MiksteR_RdY your not alone

[@StarlightStrive]

Maybe Danny is soft spoken most of the time? Or he sits far away from the mic and Arin sits right there by it. Maybe

[@davisarbuckle6293]

Its a peak. Their mics are way to loud. The f and s sounds shouldnt be so snappy

[@filthycasuals9644]

He just is maxing out the mic when he gets loud if you listen to 90% of you tubers they do the exact same thing. Unless you are really good at audio it is really hard to smooth those out 100% of the time

[@davisarbuckle6293]

Filthy Casuals you're making out with mic

[@kagato0987]

I love when Dan is brutal, like at the end of the episode :)

holy shit im having seroius deja vu with this episode right now? anybody else?

[@skunkooo]

i knew i felt something but i couldn't put it into words...

[@MrSmilingDeath]

That means something's changed in the Matrix.

[@joelincoln9531]

could be just because the stage is almost exactly the same at first

[@TheBluemindedGod]

I definitely remember Arin saying the goombas feet don't slip then him making the tower of goombas. Glad I wasn't the only one.

[@Luke-iy5tg]

I'm absolutely loving this new mario series.

[@DeismaGames]

I know this is like a two year old video and stuff so theres really no point in bringing up my opinion in what happened in the video, buuuuttt.... Dan says he doesn't consider himself a gamer even though he does it as his job and whatnot and I tend to agree, Dan is not a gamer because he doesn't necessarily keep up with all the modern games and doesn't really get hyped about what's coming out, from what i can tell. I WILL say however is that Dan is a RETRO gamer because he's nostalgic about all of the old games he's played in the passed, ie his space quest series. So yeah thats my two cents, Dan isn't a gamer, he's a retro gamer.

[@goldenlightning8842]

I feel like it depends on the character which shows how they react to like a gun pointing to there face like how would you react if like Snake or Master cheif started crying over a gun point or anything like this it just would'nt feel right for someone so tough through out the entire movie to cry all of a sudden over just gun point internal fear would make more sense then externally crying and being scared

[@DanielJayRobinson]

Not a good time to joke about guns but this was recorded over a week ago.

[@kevboard]

DanSanus there is literally a mass shooting almost every day in America... (that's not a hyperbole btw. I think it was in 2016 where there were almost 400 mass shootings in the us) it's just that some get the media coverage and some are just footnotes in the news ticker. so they could never do any gun jokes if it was because of that

"Mass Shootings" are technically just if four or more people are injured in a shoot out, there doesnt even have to be a death. They use that term very liberally (Im not quite sure why). But thats why there were 400 "mass shootings" in America last year, something like today is rare, scary, surprising, and sad.

[@xipheonj]

Most of those aren't mass shootings. I think the stats were 400 deaths across ~250 "mass shootings" . That's less than 2 people dead per shooting. They are still frequent enough that your point is still valid however, they are too frequent to avoid gun jokes in general.

[@hecticscone]

>bad thing happened involving this thing >"you can't joke about this thing" that's like people not being able to make jokes about churches or Las Vegas

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

Did you know in america there is a term called "minor shooting incident"? Gun violence is so common they have tiers to it over there.

[@Lkbmotion]

The stack of goombas dying reminded me of “FIVE PEACHES! OH SHIT, THEYRE ALL DEAD!”

Arin's a gamer, he likes to game.

Toad Bros why does everyone hate on Arin

[@chef_boysauce4399]

A gamer is someone who plays games. I'm (admittedly) nearly as bad as Arin and I still consider myself a gamer because I play games. A gamer is someone who plays games. I don't know why the community has twisted it into someone who lives, breathes, talks, walks, farts, and makes money for their skill. A gamer is someone who enjoys playing games.

Oh my god, that light in the desert reminds me so much of the glow that appears on Satori Mountain when the Lord of the Mountain spawns in Breath of the Wild! It totally gave me a rush of adrenaline when I saw it.I was just thinking "Ahhhhh! You have to warp to Satori Mountain now! It won't stay long!"

Dan is a robot created by Brian if he doesn't reply to me

[@chrissikes7885]

The rumor come out.

[@itskindofemily]

Does Dan is robot confirmed

[@okcj5665]

All hail Dan the Cyborg!

[@innerg_92]

you DO realize Danny doesn't use Gamegrumps' channel to look at comments, nor does he have an account, dont you?

[@dragonlordthekingofdragons6373]

BuildRBlock he has a channel it's literally called ninjasexparty

[@OwOHC]

A lot of really interesting discussion in this one! It's a nice change of pace!

[@Alabaster1223]

TBH I get worried when Arin makes those kinda of comments, “it’s like just die haha right? ... that’s how I feel.” I know he’s probably making a bit but I get worried about him tbh. He’s awesome and he doesn’t deserve to feel like that.

[@reNINTENDO]

He is 100 percent doing a bit. Like... it's painfully obvious.

[@kuro13wolf]

I don't think he even meant it as a self insult he was just playing a "pretentious gamer" kinda character. Which funnily enough is sort of an exaggeration of his own.

[@codymccary9682]

Alabaster306 pretty sure he’s talking about the mini boss just dying

[@wearealreadydeadfam8214]

He was talking about the rabbit you dense ass. Get a less cancerous profile pick.

[@anon9359]

It's just dark comedy my friend, no worries.

(Slap.)

[@madhippy3]

Gamer all seriousness is someone who plays games. You can add any kind of qualifier to that if you want like casual, profession, or whatever. But if you play games you are a gamer.

[@baileypalmer103]

I would consider them gamers. They get paid to play video games. That's the highest level of gamer i can think of.

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

You read the description? It's very funny.

[@johnyliltoe]

Yessss! Sharon, Lois and Bram was the first thing that came to mind when I thought "First favorite band" too. They were great. As for bands I still like, that'd be Finger Eleven. Currently it's a toss up between Skyhill and The Northern Hues for my favorite band to listen to now.

[@drewhubbard4459]

First

[@drewhubbard4459]

Well now that I have this “platform”, even though you guys never read the comments, just wanna day love you guys!

[@CDeity]

Nope

[@beaubete6106]

Sharon, Lois, and Graham loved the skinamarinks! They loved them in the morning, and in the afternoon; they loved them in the evening and underneath the moon!

[@senseisleepyhead]

Yeah! I was not expecting that reference at all but it made my day, especially Dan singing it. :D

[@dragonwaz]

Gamer wise Dan's a Professional KZbin Gamer and a Retro Gamer (because of how he said he used to put a lot of time into it back in the retro day). Also a Professional Singer/Songwriter/Musician. To be labeled a professional gamer all you need to do is make semi-consistent money doing it. To be labeled a gamer in general it just has to be the majority of the entertainment you enjoy. Spend 90% of your "play" time reading and 10% of it playing games you're a reader not a gamer. Spend 35% playing games, 30% Reading, 20% Riding your bike, 10% Making music, and %5 learning to cook, You could be called a Gamer, Reader, and Cyclist, but calling you a musician or a chef when you only spend an hour or less a week making music or learning to cook is a bit of a stretch.

[@RogueDangercat]

I’m glad that over the years the frequency at which Arin dies in a Mario has not changed, I’ll see y’all again in episode 84

[@CasacaraDFP]

I think being a "gamer" just means having a genuine love of video games. Classics, new games, triple A titles, indie games, MMORPG, flash games. I don't think there is like a "check list" that makes you a gamer. You just have to have a real love for them.

[@dbzabstertube]

Loved Arin returning the final sheep to get the moon only to immediately knock one of the sheep back out of the pen.

[@havoc3742]

So long as you play your games seriously, and you're passionate about them ( and don't just play crap like candy crush or clash of clans, which play themselves ) and you give it your best, you're a gamer. at least in my book

[@goudenkiwi8536]

Dan, even if you haven't loved videogames your entire life. Having a passion for videogames is what makes you a gamer :)

[@liddytheweeb]

I feel like seeing horror movies with Dan is a fun time judging by how he talks about his reactions

[@ColynBowman]

7:00 Dan learns the inherent disgrace of being a casual gamer.

[@battery0.2]

mario: can i capture a koopa? Peach: mario,Capture a fish mario: aaaaaaaahhh

[@QuartzIsAnOxide]

"At least put a bit of a challenge" Can't wait for Arin to get stuck on some boss and for Dan to remind him of this very bit

[@RurouniKalainGaming]

Gets the moon. Not a second later, spins and sends a sheep flying. ... Wow Arin. 0:55 I feel you Dan. Quite agree with you there. 4:00 You know, makes me wonder why Game Grumps has never put out ads or been sponsored. That...secure? Hm. 8:02 Okay, they have at times, but not much...and then he mentions that concept, hah! 8:30 Dude Dan, great job with the Sarlac Star Wars reference. 9:10 And yay! An area Arin hasn't been to. (Arin and ice...woo...ho boy. Am I right folks?)

[@BlackHawk4698]

A gamer is someone to whom gaming is their primary hobby, what they spend the most of their limited free time on enjoying. Playing games as your job doesn't make you a gamer, nor does writing about them, or even making them. It's all about your level of passionate interest in games.

[@lyss010387]

Thank you so much for reminding me of SHARON, Lois & Bram's Skinnamarink's song. Officially my new bedtime song for my daughter, thanks to you!!!

[@chalgress12]

arin started memeing dan there at the end, but I think that was sort of the answer to his question. a "gamer" would just be someone who wants to continually get better at the games they play, so it's practiced as their hobby. dan's real hobby (and life, honestly) is music, games are just fun. think of it something like a guy who appreciates and has owned a toy train set as a kid and still likes them to the guy who has built himself a little town and mountain for his tracks in his den. one enjoys them, the other is his hobby.

[@BynoShadow]

Wow, the talk about Alien: Covenant is weird in 2020. Arin called it for real

[@Neva252]

9:25...after that line I now need to hear Dan do a whole Jamiroquai cover album

[@sootyhookgamez156]

🎶I love you in the morning and I'm the afternoon, I love you in the evening and underneath the moooon🎶

[@mariopokemon955]

There's mostly Galaxy and 64 callbacks, the only Sunshine callbacks I see are Mario's palm sometimes when he grabs a star and he without Cappy things but like in this there's the gravity thing from Galaxy 1 & 2 and just more than half of the callbacks are from Super Mario 64

[@baileypalmer103]

I would totally watch an action movie with Danny being the protagonist.

[@Mythicalmage]

I love that she has a combination buckler/hat/UFO. That's brilliant.

[@mildishsadbino]

When you in class and then game grumps uploads a video

[@nobleani9177]

1:50 nope it's so easy to be chill if someone has a gun in your face... I was at a larp game once, set in the apocalypse, and this big dude with a shotgun came around the corner and started pointing it like a foot away from my face like "drop the sword back up or I'll shoot you" and I swear he was 10 seconds away from pulling the trigger but I pull a homemade grenade out of my pocket, hold it up, and am like "I wouldn't do that if I were you" and he backed up REAL fast.... it's so much more constructive to not panic when someone does that like if he'd shot me my character 100% would have died XD
