You guys are reminding me of how uncomfortable Jon would get sometimes. Arin screaming bad words, refusing to go with a set up, getting pissed during competitive games. No wonder he got the hell out of there.
I missed out on the Jontron era actually, have seen some clips here and there, you don't know any good compilations highlightning the awkwardness, of course i remember that Nickelodeon competive game spergout and Arin shitting himself.
 
Ding Dong has been having a 12 hour meltdown on stream.


He came after Matt Watson who showed up on their stream and donated 150 subs. This is a summary. Timestamps are 1:50:08 - 2:00:08
-Ding Dong acknowledges that someone said that they thought it was a bit and agrees.
-Proceeds to talk about how Matt is the reason why they knew or found out about Dream Daddy
-calls out Matt for essentially being fake and going on public places (possibly on his streams or on the supermega channel when the topic of dingdong comes up) claiming that he and ding dong are still friends, but never actually spoke with them (DingDong and Julian) after the Dream Daddy incident.
-Says Matt does these things to avoid acknowledging or accepting the stuff he did (probably in reference to exposing them to dream daddy)
-Matt apologized to ding dong and also behind the scenes. Mentions that he did it because he didn't want t
-Matt blew them off and took back talking about hanging out when DD&J came back for a bit.
-Said the people at the office were talking to Ding Dong about the Dream Daddy stuff and wanted to speak out with him about it but wanted to see his approval and for them to be on the same "wavelength"
-Ding Dong was scared about coming forward about the Dream daddy stuff publicly, but Julian insisted they should since more people were behind them
-DD was told what to say by other people who didn't want to speak out about it, hence why it sounded out of his character
-Tells Matt to contact him about refunding the subs, but also shames him saying the money will wind up coming out of his pocket since amazon/twitch takes the money.
-Said Matt and others blew him and his bf off for years
-Made Matt finally acknowledge that he did do that (either shown them the Dream daddy build or blow them off, I assume) and it's because he didn't want to get in trouble himself and later admitted to Arin he showed them the game.
-Says that they (Game Grumps and others) were trying to cover things up and that they were doing as mucb as rhey could to keep DD&J happy so they wouldn't talk about it anymore.
-Says he can't be friends with a character, so it's a shame that Matt pretends to be this cool guy when he just doesn't care about anyone but his work. Calls him essentially slimy and that the same people who told Ding Dong to help them speak out never spoke out wirh him and threw him under the bus.
-Got blacklisted heavily because they spoke out.
-says that he has a recording of himself airing out everything and the day he dies, he will have julian put it out for everyone to hear

Can't say I disagree with his assessment of Matt. Ding Dong may be neurotic as fuck, but at least he's honest about his autism. Matt (and maybe Ryan, I don't know or care) definitely changed for the worse at some point and it's sad to see.

Hearing Ding Dong talk about this again, and through my own personal experiences, I think I have a better idea of what actually conspired.

When Ding Dong was shown the Dream Daddy build by Matt, he obviously had some grievances with it, and after seeing how miserable it was making a lot of the employees working at Game Grumps, he decided to say something in an attempt to help after some urging from both Julian and some of the employees.

This is when the employees used Ding Dong as a guinea pig, allowing him to take the first step and test the waters before they spoke out as well. When they saw what happened with him getting doxed and blacklisted from the industry, the employees backed down. At best they would get fired, at worst they would never be able to get a career again.

It sucks, but when push came to shove, the employees chose their jobs over their friend. I know Ding Dong said there is a recording of him explaining everything, but here's to hoping we never actually hear it.

As for Matt, it seems like he cares more about his image than Ding Dong. But if he truly wants to be friends or make it up to him, be an adult, sit down in person, and have a conversation. Will it be awkward? Of fucking course. But after everything that has happened Ding Dong is still trying to make an effort to be friends, either reciprocate it or don't.

And for the members of Game Grumps who blacklisted Ding Dong. Fuck you. How fucking petty do you have to be to ruin someone's career because they spoke negatively about your visual novel game? Eat shit.

Especially when it's COMING from someone of that particular community who feels like it's nothing more than a cash grab. But of course, fujoshi and tumblr whales will shit on anyone and be hypocrites as usual. Suzy and Brian speaking up about it too and making indirects about that incident was so bad too.
 
I'm pretty sure the grumpers are the only ones that gave a fuck about this, and it wasn't even all of them.

Now the views are a little all over the place there, but I'd say that averages just about 300k. He couldn't even get the grumpers to show up in full force for this video.

I suppose Julian, and Ding Dong to a lesser extent, should be elated to know that SuperMega aren't exactly doing well these days and this knowledge won't exactly help there.
I just love that Matt tried buying DD's love back, what an embarrassment he is.

Sorry for double-posting but I had to reply just to point out that searching Happyland Incorporated on Youtube didn't even yield one result of someone talking about it in a video or something. Even just "happyland" on its own brings up mostly results of some other channel called Happy Land that clearly knows more about SEO than Egoraptor.

The fact that Egoraptor putting out a cartoon hasn't instantly brought mass viewership just shows how little pull he has nowadays. Arin should be overjoyed now that demand for him getting back into animation is long gone, then

He didn't even animate it from what I heard lol.
 
The video is out now. It's based on "experiences working at a certain theme park" which I'm guessing is Disneyland.

Well, that was awful.
Lame writing and poopyfart jokes aside, I have no idea why Arin didn't animate it himself or invite some of his buddies to do more of the voices. (That is, if he has any buddies left. He couldn't even bribe Dan into doing a voice?) I remember genuinely enjoying some of his old Newgrounds animations in the 2000s and thinking his style was actually kinda funny. A lot of their other fanmade Game Grumps Animated videos are better than this, so it's odd he went with these guys.

The design is fucking weird. Like someone else said, I get a Vivziepop ripoff feel from this. As cluttered and overdesigned as her stuff is, at least her animations are smoother. I REALLY hate the choppy animation with characters frantically spewing out fast-paced sentences while the mouth flaps two or three times.

Basically, it sucked, which is weird because I assumed Arin has the time and resources to create something decent.

It really isn't weird at all. Arin is two things, jealous and lazy.

He clearly made this pile of garbage because he was super jealous of smiling friends being a massive success and his former friend/co-worker who made it surpassing him professionally. Its a pile of garbage because Arin is lazy and didn't want to put in any real effort in producing it beyond going "yeah that's good" to everything shoved in his face.
 
The vid basically felt like watching one of Arins cartoons from the late 2000s which does not hold up for todays standards. His core fanbase grew up and better talented animators came into the spotlight while he was messing around with Gamegrumps for 10 years. You dont dick off playing videogames for 10 years and then expect to get back into the animation scene with the same level of animation from your Newgrounds days.
