- So Ghoul Grumps ain't exactly doin' so hot this year. In fact, the entire channel's been hurting on views as of late, with all of their videos struggling to reach 200,000 views, far below the threshold from Dan's "I'm sorry the truth has upset you" conversation. Which we all knew was bullshit
anyways, but I digress. Starting with Blair Witch, the series started off pretty well at around 600,000 views
after like a week and people were excited this was being played. However, because Arin has been struggling to do the simple task of
looking at a dog, or anywhere but the direction of left, he has gotten absolutely nowhere in the game and the latest video for the two days it was up just
barely passed the 100,000 mark because even the diehard Lovelies just got fed up with him not knowing what the foreign directions known as "right" or "down" are.
This then got replaced with Man of Medan which somehow did even worse, with Arin not at all knowing what the words "left" mean now, as he struggles and flails through the game, bitching and moaning the entire time. Even now, with over a day having passed as of the time of writing this, the latest episode is still struggling at around 87,000 views. This video is officially doing worse than their last ever Suzy-featured episode did. And that was
Suzy, the person who was like the plague to viewcounts when she was still active (save for Table Flip).
So be prepared for them to cancel Ghoul Grumps for next year, and for that teary-sobby-woe-as-me video to continue to age like spoiled milk.
- Outside of Ghoul Grumps, something I can't believe wasn't discussed here yet (or at least, I couldn't find it after searching the thread if it was) was that they uploaded their newest Best Of video. For August. In October.
But who cares right? They're a little late, maybe they took the time to polish it out an-
...Okay that's a bit weird, but hey it's not that big a deal right? Like these are mostly put on as background noise anyways, so wh-
...Well I guess that explains Allie's aggressiveness on social media that day. I mean, never mind the fact that she and others now have a direct line to commenting on videos; who's the poor sap that's getting hurt for this today. Rebug, was it? Well it was nice knowing you, but at least it'll probably result in better editing, right? ...Right? ...
right?
Well, as it turns out, this one slip-up was actually caused by Drej, not Rebug.
And not only is he now in control of editing for Rebug after this mishap, but uh...
He's also been going uncredited for months as the main editor, and they've actually been promoting Rebug, the one who's been making all of the other fuckups (sans this video) instead of the guy who's
actually been doing most of the work. All of this, because of one screw-up in editing on a single Best Of video, videos that these compilation makers volunteered for, and had to retitle/delete their
own compilations to be a part of. So say goodbye to all Jon compilations pretty soon (Lionhead already deleted his) as well, it was knowing them too.
- Lastly, Game Grumps also hasn't actually streamed anything in months, suspiciously right after both the "hydration" and bitching about donation things happened live. People have said it's due to touring as well as other outside ventures but that's really stopped them before. But either way: time to burn that fucker off the Schedule Update list. Meaning we're now down to 1, count 'em,
1 Game Grumps video a day, save for a single day on weekends, with no alternate revenue stream through streams because Arin wasn't getting enough money and doesn't wanna do it. That is
astoundingly pathetic.
