Naturally the faggots on reddit are turning this into an excuse to tell people to WEAR THE MUZZLE.

This makes me legitimately MATI. I know it's not an unpopular opinion, but fuck reddit and fuck the cattle who use it.

And of course the guy (rightfully) calling out how bullshit these restrictions are precisely for this reason was downvoted to hell and back. Not a black pit big enough for these people, I swear to fucking God.

RIP Mrs. O'Donovan, though. Poor Ross is like the Butt Monkey of the Game Grumps community (if you'll pardon the TV Tropes reference): the universe always finds a way to shit on him, no matter what he tries to do. (:_(

I feel bad for Ross because it seemed like whenever drama happens he somehow gets roped into it.

A lot of awful shit has happened to ross and I especially feel for him about his mom, that's just fucking terrible. But there is a trend of people saying Ross is a didndonuffin whenever some internet bullshit kicks off when the dude brings a fair bit of this shit to his own doorstep by either...

a) being heavily involved with the retards throwing shit at each other in the first place
and
b) being really passive and not confronting people over their shitty behavior (specifically his cheating ex-wife)

I just think we need to have a more even handed approach to Ross in general rather than portraying him as an angel.

To be fair to him, we don't really know how he handled it, because he handled it behind the scenes like a smart person. He really only commented on it after he and Holly started really getting harassed.
 
Holy shit, props to Ross for not crying on camera for 10 fucking minutes like every other YouTuber would.
 
There's something that I've been wondering about for awhile. I've followed both the decline of Game Grumps and the post-break up Super Best Friends Play. People sometimes talk about how a decline in the group dynamic was inevitable given how long both groups worked together. Some people feel that Arin/Jon Game Grumps would have eventually become as bad as Arin/Dan Game Grumps had they stuck together for long enough.

When suggesting alternative Let's Plays groups, one of the most popular choices is OneyPlays. I've never watched OneyPlays, but people seem to generally think well of them and I think they've been around for awhile. What I want to know is: what's their secret? How have they apparently been able to avoid the kind of decline that other Let's Play groups went through? How do they manage to remain entertaining after so much time?

Personally I think it's that they do let's plays in addition to other creative work. Unlike Arin who completely gave up anything that took talent, those guys seem to actually do it "for fun" (as much as one can do something for fun when youtube bux are involved) while focusing their business ventures outside of youtube/let's plays. They also don't do the phony "omg we love our fans" BS that tends to make channels go downward fast. Just my two autistic cents.

If I were to hazard a guess from Chris's twitter antics I'd say it's that they haven't really sold out in terms of optics. Usually when a YouTuber's downfall becomes noticeable it's because the whole operation's started to feel too corporate. Friends become employees, content becomes homogenised and "advertiser friendly", jokes have potentially offensive rough edges smoothed out to avoid backlash etc..

Arin and Oney falling out was inevitable, really. Arin wants to legitimise his serious adult business, while Oney and co. stuck to doing what people subscribed to them for in the first place.

Oney doesn't keep his co host hostage and swaps them out on occasion to keep things fresh compared to Grumps feeling forced. Oneys editors cut out a lot of the dead air too which keeps episodes entertaining while Arin has told his editors to avoid making cuts cauee he prefers quantity over quality.

known each other since the stone age, they are the who's who of the new grounds old guard
 
An especially important factor is that they don’t make it their main job, and have no random, redundant people as part of the business.

You have four main talent, Oney, Zach, Tomar, and Lyle. You have their manager. You probably have about 5-10 extra people for editing, thumbnails, merch, etc, not counting hired freelancers or guests.

Oney’s game, for example, is an entirely separate team that has nothing to do with OneyPlays. Tomar, like, runs a goddamn animation company or something. Zach does animation as well, and Lyle… I think actually does do some kind of editing work himself, none of the four have the channel as their main focus. That’s the main thing that separates them.

Even if they were to fall into one company, which they won't but its important for the comparison so go with it, they would all be doing separate avenues of work in different parts of the industries alongside the videos that bring in various sources of income.

Rather than GG which relies pretty much exclusively on videos and merch with the other 80 employees doing dick all to generate income.

Does Lyle still work for Destructoid? I know he did a video series for them for quite awhile.

There's an Oneyplays thread in gaming but to give you a really quick 3 points I'd say:
1) They don't give a shit about what they talk about, and only bleep stuff if it's due to Youtube guidelines.
2) Rotating guests+game variety and editors.
3) Chris is actually funny unlike Arin. Like if you ever go back and watch the Oneyplays crossover episodes on Gamegrumps they legit manage to steal Arin's own show and make it their own with how well they play off each other, especially with Chris.

Arin struggles to stay relivent in this thread let alone his own youtube channel. "I hate Arin but I keep watching for Daddy Danny" is a common statement in the cumfaggots community.

Doodle Doods was especially funny because Arin would try to draw something funny and then Chris creates an autistic monster to steal the spotlight

That says something about Arin. Even a lulcow thread meant to disparage him derails into talking about Dan and Oney. When Arin is not swelling with bad takes, he is just utterly uninteresting. Unlike many lulcows Arin didn't take his life in a radically different direction ultimately leading to a dumpster fire. He stagnated. If Arin's not pandering to Twitter or defending his wife's scams, he leaves little to discuss. Reflects the current state of Game Grumps. What was a once a moderately entertaining show about two friends having fun playing video games degraded into a dispassionate slog continued purely to fund other business ventures. One where the co-host that fucks fans half his age is the less contemptible of the two.

As someone who watches Oneyplays constantly since it's honestly the only tolerable Lets Play channel anymore, Ill put in my 2 cents.

1. They're actually funny.

2. They don't run games into the ground. People might complain that Oneyplays almost never finishes games but the alternative is them running a series into the ground and it not being funny anymore.

3. Chemistry, regardless of who is on it is incredible. Oneyplays has had a lot of people on it over the years and while I think it's almost impossible to beat Oney/Ding Dong/Julian in terms of entertainment, I've never been disappointed in an episode. Even when Veronica, Chris' GF was on for a series, it was just as fun as any other episodes.

4. It's not his main thing. Oneyplays isn't a business. Im pretty sure Chris has said Oneyplays only exists to fund his passion projects like Bowlbo.

5. There's no trend chasing. GG desperately plays every Sonic game in a feeble attempt to capture the magic of that original Sonic 06 LP. With Oneyplays, you never know what's gonna be coming on a given day. Like Ding Dong and Julian came back for a stint and we've gotten Barts Nightmare, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, YiiK and The Magic School Bus explores the human body. I think just playing whatever they want helps a series be far more entertaining. Even Yiik has been a blast to watch in spite of it being the most pretentious game ever.

There's probably more to say but that's my thoughts at least. Oney and the community of OP does have some problems but I mean, the worst thing there is Chris can be mildly bitchy about games and the community runs jokes into the ground. Versus ya know, the weird sexual undercurrents of GG and that discord of stalkers that exists to bully anyone who shit talks GG.
