One does silly cartoons. The other does silly videogame retrospectives. Put 'em together under the same roof and watch out! Sounds like the premise to a wacky prime time sitcom.
So Egoraptor and JonTron decided it was time for some "manly combining" in the form of Game Grumps, a new daily show in which the two play old videogames and offer commentary like the nerds they are. "But wait a minute," you interject. "Aren't these just Let's Plays?" Maybe, yeah, but... shaddup! They're famous people on the Internet who make me laugh!
For the debut, three separate episodes have been released. Above is the Kirby Super Star video, while the Mega Man 7 and A Link to the Past vids are past the jump. OoT vs. ALttP debate ahead!
I enjoy the dulcet tones of Egoraptor, and this other guy I haven't heard of before seems really fun, too.
I chuckled hard just a few minutes in. Happy times.
i'll keep watching but the start of the megaman 3 video was sort of boring, i think because it's unscripted and they stumble a bit, and also because there's no face cam.
Seriously though, if you guys have never see his Youtube videos, he's fucking hilarious. His features on Castlevania and Mega Man are incredibly deep and well done, and his animated stuff is piss your pants funny.
I'm with Aurain on this one, love Egoraptor, love JonTron and based off basically JonTron's entire channel and Ego's "Sequelitis" series I was expecting something great.
Instead I was very very underwhelmed, I can respect the "two friends screwing around and gaming" vibe they've got going but their solo stuff is leagues beyond this.
My new favorite Lets Play series. The dynamic is wonderful between these two, and I much prefer two buds dicking around in a game making jokes to a single lonely neckbeard narrating what he's doing in the game as if we can't see it.
Never seen JonTron's stuff, but I'm a fan of Sequelitis (the Awesome series is awfully hit-or-miss for me). I'll give this a listen when I'm home from work, but I'd much rather prefer EgoRaptor put out more episodes of Sequelitis.
Surprising the first 3 videos were quite funny to me. Hard to believe, at least in my case, considering my sense of humor seems no longer in existence these past few years, but then again I've always liked Egoraptor and JonTron.
