Super Muscle Cat and the Home for Infinite Losers? Ah yes, the spiritual successor to the hit Smashing Pumpkins album, Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness.

[@NotoriousFoxxx]

Omg thats arin's FAVORITE album

[@norsefrog]

Why does that sound like something I know?

[@HeftyDan]

​​@@NotoriousFoxxx oh dude, the Smashing Pumpkins album, Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness? That's literally his FAVORITE album. He loves it and listens to it all the time

[@_Reikiiro]

Cantaloupe Canine and the Abundant Agony

[@an_fiach]

​@@norsefrog Well that's because Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins is your favourite album! Don't you remember when you told me that the other day? You're *always* listening to it.

[@jblen]

I have no clue what this game is but that title sounds MADE for game grumps.

[@Rubberman202]

Nice OFF avatar!

[@austinhe11]

It sound like a parody of melon collie and the infinite sadness.

[@RosyKitteh]

It sounds like it’s made for Arin 😉

[@carbondavid2155]

As someone who lives in Mesa, AZ I can 100% guarantee this is exactly what it’s like here

As a hockey fan, my condolences on losing the Coyotes.. sucks man. (Even if you're not a hockey fan & don't know what im referring too I still send my condolences anyways😅)

[@Peverley]

arin failing to complete even the most basic elements of the tutorial almost feels intentional at this point

[@Alexander_Alexander]

I think it is, he's probably doing a bit lol

[@TheSpektrum1989]

like I'm thinking it's 80-20, still in favor of Arin just not paying attention, but 20% chance he just actively doesn't care

[@burnin8able]

it's legitimately impressive how atrocious he is at side-scrolling platformers considering how many of them he's played over the years.

[@godferbidd6262]

@@Alexander_Alexander Maybe, but I'm honestly tired of his "bits". I don't think I'm the only one.

man some of you are still really hung up on this tutorial thing huh lol relax dude it is not a big deal.

I'm just about to turn 50 in June. I started watching Game Grumps (actually Steam Train) in 2015 at the behest of my at the time 18-year-old daughter. Tempus fugit, dude.

[@classictowers668]

AAaaAAhh! You were a senior in high school when I was a sophomore!

[@BeegDingus]

[@aetayayaaya]

The title definitely has the same energy as Arin's favourite album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

[@blakewhite3131]

He talks about it all the time!

[@kalevipoeg6916]

You know it's a Dragonball Z reference, right? ;) HFIL - the shirts of the ogres in hell in the western dubbed version were edited so they said "HFIL" instead of "HELL".

[@GreyMailMare33]

​@@kalevipoeg6916We're referring to a bit in an episode of the "Tears of the Kingdom" playthrough in which Danny gaslights Arin into believing his favorite album is "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" by Smashing Pumpkins (which IS my favorite band, so that bit was especially funny to me). 😊

[@amethystcovette]

(28:00) it made me so happy that Arin knew that was ASL for “I love you”. Fun fact: the blue guy doing the rock and roll sign can also be translated in ASL to “bullshit”

[@night8owel8]

As someone who taught and used ASL around middle schoolers i can confirm

[@amethystcovette]

@@night8owel8 I worked with deaf kids too and when we went to the art room they had “rock on” posters. Those kids were so confused why they had a curse word plastered on the wall lol. I had to explain it has double meaning

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

i don't know about nowadays, but everyone, their grandma, and their dogs knew what that sign meant when i was a wee bab.

[@trumpetwizard7250]

Very on-brand that Arin immediately forgets he can dodge even though he actually completed the tutorial this time

[@2Dtube1]

Didn't even do that actually, he dodged away when the demonstration was to dodge through, then jumped over the projectile. He never saw the function of dodge early on

[@senatorsparky]

Game: Press Shift to dodge Arin: [proceeds not to dodge] Arin immediately after: How do I dodge?

[@Jared_Is_Near]

He read like the first of two sentences both times and did not actually follow the instructions correctly.

[@ElHst123]

Hi! I'm the singer of the intro and Charditronic have a KZbin Channel in spanish talking about how he made his game, is very good!

[@alantremonti1381]

Neato!

[@dimensionalMystery]

cool, you rocked the intro!

[@ElHst123]

@@dimensionalMystery thanks you!!

[@nlatimer]

I can't believe Arin has regressed to the point that he can't figure out that 2 comes after 1

[@KyloStimpy]

i can

[@hatethegam384]

See... I can.

[@sevenrifles]

Im too busy processing the muscle cat to ponder this

[@calcal3438]

"As long as he has underwear on, we're safe." No. No. You don't get to say that off handed! What exactly has that cat done to you for you to say that!?

[@AllPurposeNerd]

11:02 - Mercury can't keep an atmosphere. The sun keeps blasting it into space. Venus's atmosphere is too opaque. Jupiter and Saturn might have decent sunsets if you could just float at the right altitude indefinitely.

[@MaxDrawsStuff]

Seeing how much Arin digging the artstyle of villain girls in this game, I'm really surprised they never played any Shantae games on this channel.

[@squeet0]

Technically Grumpcade did several years ago which could be why they didn't go back

[@jonathanpilcher337]

Now I want them to play shantae

[@Kuuribro]

OKAY good so it wasn't just me I was wondering where's shantae during the Arzette playthrough, it's so exactly their vibe. And they're literally in a Wayforward game, it can't be for lack of knowing.

[@godspeedyoublacknerd]

If Dan can't believe this, Arin's gotta play Cho Aniki with him

[@Konani_the_unicorn_queen]

there's a high percentage chance that Dan would die if that happened.

[@LordLicoriceDerp]

​@@Konani_the_unicorn_queen... of fun!

[@jessicastoker8932]

I think my favorite part of watching Arin playing games is also knowing he's made a series called "Sequelitis" unironically. As in, for a person who talks about the nuance and purpose of elements in game design, Arin is profoundly impressive with how often he COMPLETELY ignores them. But it's kinda' cute and endearing and I seriously don't understand how the same person who made Sequelitis could be the person I watch play videogames so frequently.

[@tinywhale3954]

Arin has said in the past that playing games by himself and playing games on game grumps are two entirely different experiences

[@JesusOfPaign]

Yeah, on grumps he’s not playing with any intention of analyzing or thinking critically about the games, he’s just trying to have a fun time with Dan.

[@Melissa-tw2gp]

[@Daedalus117]

​@@tinywhale3954​ You can see this in the rare arin-only playthrough, like when he did a buster only run of mega man x by himself

Look up SIBO if you want, it's crazy how many ppl go through it without being aware.

[@spinejackel]

i’m losing my mind at the intro because i was quoting that same post to my partner like.. two days ago in regards to a character in the first three pages of heretics of dune, and now here are the grumps also quoting it. the world works in strange ways.

[@BeegDingus]

That's so crazy. It's like other people know dune other than you.

[@Kingofchaos250]

Part of the reason I absolutely love the grumps, Dan especially, is the understanding perspective they usually offer each other, and us the viewers by proxy. What Dan said about age felt some what poignant but relatable; I'm definitely young in the grand scheme of time, but speaking personally, I've had a goal of creating content in some form since the beginning days of KZbin, but life just had other plans. Honestly not too bitter about it, but it def feels strange to see so many reaaaally young people blow up like they do these days, makes me feel "old" (until I take a step back and say wait... no I'm not?)

[@Skoldpadden]

I'm crazy surprised that nobody has mentioned Dragon Ball Z Abridged in this comments. They had a post-cell saga series called HFIL, or Home for infinite losers

[@JesusOfPaign]

I mean, it’s technically just a DBZ censorship reference, not necessarily a DBZA/HFIL reference. But yeah, that was my first thought as well

[@adammckay3299]

It's called that in regular DBZ too. I knew it was called HFIL, but I had to actually google it to make sure it stood for Home For Infinite Losers. So dumb but I love it

[@torgothegrey3567]

"La la la lalalala Home For Infinite Losers"

[@ThelronFjord]

Fuck Abridged, the Ocean Dub HFIL is better than that piece of shit series.

[@camzoman]

It's not a DBZA reference, it's just from DBZ. The North American dub didn't like that Goku was in Hell, so they edited it so the shirts on the muscly demon dudes said "HFIL."

[@XSaffie_LoveX]

Dan singing the song from Orgazmo absolutely killed me. That movie was amazing. That was the movie where I learnt what DVDA is, lmao

[@thatluckypanda_]

GameGrumps Lunch Break Chronicles, Day 113: Going out to eat at the local Chinese buffet. Never misses. 15/10.

[@zhooahahah1133]

The title reminds me of Arin’s favourite album, Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

[@trumpetwizard7250]

You need the right atmosphere for a sunset, mercury doesn't have it and venus's is too thick

[@KairuHakubi]

Even if Mercury had more atmosphere (though what they DO have has decent proportions, if we concentrated it we could maybe breathe it?) they would still barely have sunsets because they are a hair away from being tidally locked.

[@cheddarbob9746]

Dude that bit about the guys in the canoe was one of the funniest things I have ever heard 😂😂😂

[@robertr231]

Dan: “He’s got a tiny, tiny head.” Me: Yeah, you can barely see it through the speedo at all.

[@benjireyna3759]

The raft analogy from Dan was so damn funny 😂

[@Harrery]

It was so dan funny

[@rori2089]

Can confirm, nearly 30 and have no idea what "sometimes you feel like a nut" comes from

[@IronWolfArts]

At 16:40, Arin not stepping on that checkpoint two feet from him before going down that drop and subsequently failing and having to go ALLLLLLL the way back to the previous checkpoint fucking KILLED me. 😂 Like Arin, please!! It was right there! You could have saved yourself time and a headache!!

[@N3TSLVM]

First was (Water)Melon Collie and the Infinite Swordness on today's 10MPH, NOW THIS?!

[@SuperMaurice]

Don't worry Danny and Arin, I got the Mounds/Almond Joy reference.

[@Finkster5]

Dan's canoe analogy is really good, actually. I feel like if more people thought about it like that there'd be a little more empathy in the world? That's probably wishful thinking.

[@K_Boar]

Charditronic is a solo Spanish developer! He did everything on this game!

[@weeb1813]

15 minutes in and Arin still has the slimmest grasp on the platforming. This is the content I subscribe for.

[@YourWickedFuneral]

I'm so happy to see Arin sending those no-good aliens to HFIL, Goz and Mez are sure to be overjoyed as well.

[@Baelor_uwu]

Dan and Arin as adorable cats? Knowing Arin, there’ll be a hairball involved

[@twitchyb9950]

Danny: “Arin, why does your hairball have my hair in it?”

[@bucket9144]

The fact Danny specifically said my hometown freaked me out

[@lorelliaod]

I got the Mounds reference and I didn't need to know that people born in the year 2000 are 24 (though I can obviously do the math), thanks for that Arin. I'm older than both Grumps oh no, am I too old for Grumps?!

[@snoozy1622]

7:33 I love how arin says “oh” after Dan corrects himself and says earthing, like that makes it any clearer

[@JaySay]

Dan's canoe analogy was really good, and spot on!

[@Lumpstar295]

Me - "Um, Grandpa Erin from Game Grumps told me to tell you he misses you. Is there something you're not telling me?" Grandpa - *sweating nervously* "noooo"

[@voicevitality7197]

Yes, Almond Joy and Mounds still have that very same jingle in their commercials.

My 8week old loves yall 😂 every time Dan talks she’s turning her head to watch and she’s smiled at Arin 😂😂

[@Guile_The_Exile]

All these years of Grumping you'd think Arin's 2D platforming skills would've improved... My gawd were we wrong to think that.

[@Ryyi23]

1:07 ChardiTronic sounds like a lazy pen name for Chadtronic.

[@ElSersh01]

It's the name of the developer!

[@LilivanaDewdrop]

that opening with the bad guys reminds me of Sailor Moon and Queen Beryl

[@Sekiath]

Listening to this while I work our was very confusing and I had to see what was on the video. My confusion is no less.

[@pinktacoofdoom440]

I have the movie Orgazmo on VHS because when I realized I needed a copy of it I found out that it wasn't available on DVD at the time, I tried for many years to find the soundtrack too so I would always have the song "Now You're A Man" to sing along to. I recently found the song on Bandcamp and downloaded it (it was totally free too) so I can die a happy Taco now.

[@pokedude900]

I played this when it came out. Pretty insane the whole way through. Physics were a bit janky, though. And there were some questionable design decisions in the last couple levels. But I'd still love to see you guys do a full playthrough.

[@shadesmcf]

I hope the game comes out soon. This looks fun. Like one of the stages reminded me of sonic and another of megaman lol. I love the cosplay screen where you could see the aliens cosplay krillin yoko luffy and i think lum.

[@shithoagie]

Oh what? Not only did they miss the drunken aliens outside the club with one pissing on a wall, but in the foreground were Alien Misato and Shinji from Evangelion.

[@Firomus]

The fact that this game has an anime opening is amazing

[@deviljon]

The body builder posing animation of Muscle Cat reminds me of John K (Ren and Stimpy). What a fun mix with the anime goofiness. 10/10 animation

[@LithmusEarth]

11:27 I think Mercury might be tidally locked because it's too close, so it's always day one side, always night the other. I think. That sentence she says was just confusing.

[@JamesEDonaldson]

Giant Sign saying go down left, ignores and runs through 20 enemies unable to fight, turns into big cat and gets tutorial to make small cat run-jump, dies 3 times, "do I have to be regular cat to do this". You have no idea how hard I'm backseat gaming right now.

[@JAY-gl5xd]

18:57 Yes, and throwback jokes like that are the reason I listen. Not here for the contemporary commentary. I'm here for "hey, remember Orgasmo? I think unicorns are kickass!" And other 20-40 year old references.

[@JaeHaruArt]

Oh my gosh the Dan and Arin cat icons on the thumbnail are so frickin' cute.

Pitaya sounds like Naga the Serpent from Slayers. It'd be nice to find out its her voice actress doing an homage to herself.

Mercury, I believe, is in a tidal lock with the sun, similarly to the earth and moon, so it always shows the same face. Venus rotates “on its side” so again, always the same hemisphere pointed at the sun.
