They're totally getting ready to put GG on Sunset, especially with The Grumps channel being more a focus and them slowly drifting into more comedy/music ventures.

Wish people would take the hints when you see how much actual Game Grumps content they upload now, but ignorance is bliss to some.

When you think about it, Arin's relationship with his work is comparable to an abused spouse's relationship with their S.O. He clearly wants out but is too gutless to pull the trigger because he fears the unknown.
 
I just got around to watching the rest of the super mega animal crossing video, and they made fun of the grumps even better later. They look to see how long it's been since the posted animal crossing and say the last one only got 93,000 views and they won't put out another one unless that one gets over 100,00 ala' the grumps theory.

Makes you wonder why they stuck with that pair of prudes and left Oney in the dirt

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?

I think Oney has said that it’s simply because they kinda didn’t have many opportunities to hang out once they moved out of the grumpspace and they kinda drifted apart. They still seem to be on good terms since SuperMega occasionally mentions Chris and his buddies on the show, but they don’t really hang out anymore.

Not to mention this little exchange a while back:

So my guess is they're both kinda busy (SuperMega recording videos and doing tours, Chris working on Bowlbo and other projects) and Matt and Ryan still have some appreciation for the Grumps. At the same time, the SuperMega fellas aren't scared to make fun of their former bosses but still have some sort of respect for them so they stop when shit gets too real (the Animal Crossing video for example, I agree it's possible Matt joked about Dan's girlfriend on record).

Arin Hanson, Who Shakes The World on Twitter

“So my uncle found this old interview he did in the 70’s to promote a book he wrote. It’s... interesting. Anyway his new book is available for preorder or whatever: https://t.co/UG9IVawaUq https://t.co/VaXSn7KRVT”

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xlt85qNcAXkPls hire Arin as a voice actor pls. I seriously think that’s what this is all about.

Btw, there was what sounded like another dig at the Grumps by Zach in part 9 of Oney Plays Hitman. Sorry I don’t have an archive, but around 1:50 he says “You guys wonder why don’t edit the vids? Because we’re raw like that.” They pretty quickly take the bit in another direction but I think it’s clear from the semi-nervous Tomar laughter what it was about.

My bad. Didn't think my late post would upset you that much, though.

Think you're looking a bit too deep there; nothing about that exchange really indicates they were talking about or referring to the Grumps in any way. Feels more like them talking shit on fans reeing at them to cut down their videos more than a jab.

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

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.

What if this is secretly testing for John Carmack’s AI project?
