This all makes me wonder just how bad this book actually is. What's the plot of it again and does this marketing have anything to do with it? Hopefully someone will take one for the team get a look at it, because I sure as fuck won't

"My name is Dr. Cecil H.H. Mills. I’m the author of this book and many other ones that you might not have heard of. This book is about two idiot wannabe detective-types. Their names are J.J. and Valentine Watts, but I’m not sure if they’re actually brothers or not.

They make a friend; her name is Trudi de la Rosa. She’s a wannabe detective-type too, but honestly, she’s less of an idiot than the brothers.

The three of them team up to solve a mystery that takes place in a snowy chateau up in the mountains. It gets more complicated around chapter 11, but now you’ve got the main gist of it. The story’s full of intrigue and adventure and puzzles and light violence and some swear words. It’s really entertaining.

Just buy the book and start reading. You’ll understand everything about the Ghost Hunters Adventure Club very soon."

Taken from the Amazon page.

It just sounds like a GG adlib skit Arin would make while playing Battlekid or something.

Supermega were legitimately starstruck that Arin gave them the chance to edit for him and they were very earnest in their efforts before realizing they could just break off and make their own content. They were on some aussie podcast where the hosts and guests get utterly shitfaced on alcohol and seemed genuinely neutral and glib about their GameGrumps time.

You might hate it, you might like it, depending on how tolerant you are of drunks:
44:00 or so in, for just Grumps gossip

It is weird that they have done zero collabs with or even mentioned Oney since their departure with the grumps. Wasn't a there a rumor about SuperMega signing an NDA?

With them both making subtle/not so subtle jabs at Game Grumps on both their channels, I think it’d be hilarious if they collaborated together again. Although SuperMega’s comedy style has changed a lot since the last time they have collabed together. I think they’d still have a lot of chemistry.

I do think there’s a chance they will connect again and do videos together, I don’t think they have any bad blood between each other. I just think they are both busy with their own separate lives and projects.

Rumors have been floating around that the book isn't actually being written by any person, but rather was auto-generated by an AI, with one of the biggest pieces of evidence to that fact being that the book's description on Amazon both looks and sounds like something one of the talk-to-transform programs would spit out.

In theory, the joke about this book being made by a person who doesn't exist (which would have some truth to it given it was technically made by a person, but said person writing the book doesn't exist) and it being a fictionalized character who's stuck in their old ways so badly that they write a shit book that sounds like it was made by a decrepit old man going completely crazy could work.

In theory. And with the exception being that the book be made incredibly cheap lest your audience feel like they just wasted all their money.

But because it's Arin, and he's in no way smart enough or talented enough to pull something like that off with no problems, not only did he decide to charge $21 for this meme book, but he also - for whatever reason - didn't disclose that this was him, added an abuse angle for sympathy points and to get people to buy it out of pity, and banking on his fanbase retroactively defending everything as a joke once it started becoming clear that this whole thing was a ruse. Which to his credit, people absolutely did, with the bonus caveat of the Lovelies insulting people who were genuinely fooled and acting like it was obvious all along and that if you bought the book, you were a dumbass for not understanding Arin's comedic genius and writing off any issues with the book as "just being part of the ARG".

We'll have to wait until the book leaks online to see if that rumor holds water, but given what we know about the book already, and how things went with Dendy, chances are high that they absolutely just suckered their fanbase into buying a book written by a robot where the plot is that there is no plot; a literal nothingburger book.

Reminds me of Ghostbusters and Venkman fucking with people.

I think its very likely given Supermega regularly shits on everyone, themselves included. Matt has released a song about fucking his dad. Hell on collab episodes they've even made references to posted rumors on places like RantGrumps.

SuperMega will probably collab with the others in the same sphere, its more up to Arnold to actually summon an ounce of effort to set it up.

God if Arin is chasing after a I Love Bees reaction to his book I'm gonna fucking die.

ARG's always either hook you in immediately or fall apart after the first moments. Honestly feel as if Arin didn't tie anything into his uncle and instead just recommended the book on twitter as something he was looking forward too, would have made a better impact. Just mention the book, it has a strange code, and maybe get some other youtubers/streamers to say they were looking into the book too. They each have a different piece of a code they say in their comments about it, and it folds out to reveal a statement, which then ties into a phone number like ILB.

Fuck man I just made that on the fly, and at least to me that sounds more compelling then Arin just doing a voice and making a twitter for his "uncle

Hell, even having an anonymous account post the book on the GG subreddit saying "hey this has some weird, vague, but very real references to GG lore, worth checking out?" would have been better than Arin desperately trying to mash it into your face

And the phone number has a man telling you to transcribe a code. And that code is:

Speaking of our 100% Christian, wholesome, and not at all gay for eachother boys, they dropped a podcast episode today with everyone's favorite ARG maker. Unsure who the Brent guest is. Unsure if anything useful will be gleaned, just thought it would be funny to share considering the talk a bit up thread.

Doing things that currently prohibit me from listening in. Unpack it as you will.

I thhink the people on RantGrumps (which was ironically mentioned in the episode) put it best: this podcast was just further confirmation that Brent’s a fuckin’ dick.

Like, there’s always THAT guy IRL that we know in some capacity, particularly in, say, high school: y’know, where one dude is super jealous of you accomplishing something both easier and better than they’re able to do with the same idea? But has to act super condescending towards them, and has to talk over you and talk about how proud he is of his accomplishments?

That’s Brent and Arin this entire podcast. They’re just super uncomfortable to listen to and sound really bitter towards Matt and Ryan’s success. Makes sense, given that they had to be convinced by Game Grumps’ producer to do this podcast over recording episodes, on top of the fact that they had to stop the podcast midway through to give Brent and Arin a tour to show that they were actually taking SuperMega seriously.

This was one of their conversations in the podcast. Bear in mind, I’m paraphrasing a bit, but this should give you some idea of how bad they were:

Brent: “Man, dude, y-you have 5 employees!? WOW. Good for yoooou! Have your fans lynched ya yet? Have yo-Are you gettin’ tired?“
Matt: “Oh dude you’re gonna summon the wrath of RantGrumps wi-“
Brent: “Dude it’s so cool how you have 5 employees now. Not just two guys on a couch anymore, amirite? Over at Game Grumps, we have about 20. How many do yours have, hmmmmm?”

Matt and Ryan then listed the 5 total people they have, including themselves and what their positions were.

To summize: Brent and Arin acted like superior fedora-tipping soyboys flexing about their business for nearly the entire podcast.
