I used to be such a huge fan of his, way before he was even an animator, back when he was only an amateur voice actor on Newgrounds back in 04.
I dropped him completely when he did Game Grumps, mostly because I cannot stand lets plays at all. And his sequelitis series proved how much of a fucking casual bitch he was
This thread reminds me that I should make a thread in off topic about old Flash Animations. That shit was a comfy time
man....i was a huge egoraptor fan when GG started. beleve it or not, he was actually kind of funny and what got me most was his passion for his art. at a time where my brain was a bit scrambled, and i was trying to figure out my art, it was cool and inspiring becuase he was kind of like an example...
i remember a thing he said that always stuck with me and i still follow: "the day you stop drawing is the day you die"....i cant draw, but i still follow this in my music and all that.
and game grumps was cool too, i watched it every day, it was funny, nice way to unwind after work, imo.
but somewhere along the line it started to get corporate and sterilized and i checked out. now, every now and then rarely, ill check a video and its just ass.
Arin and Dan's ability to get lazier and scummier never cease to amaze me. Must be real tiring playing the same games and Peppa pig.
thats one of the tragedies IMO
the wasted talent. arin, for all his soyness, WAS a good animator, and a decent writer. he had intent and wanted to actually MAKE SHIT, which i found inspiring. the fact that he quit creating to do lets plays...i mean, if you do both, thats cool, but to quit art for low effort let's play....man. the soyness and self censorship just really took his slow decline into a nosedive. i get it bro...gotta chase money, we all gotta survive...but are you gonna be PROUD as an old dude as commenting over stuff other people made? he acts like he built this amazing brand of conent and its like, dude, you dont really create anything. you make jokes about games someone else made, or you drink gross soda...
Danny sexbang, despite being a "jew" (hes not really a jew), i liked his music. ninja sex party was mildly funny but geniunely, those songs were decently composed. catch melodies and shit.
