Playing ARIN'S CHILDHOOD! – MegaMan V : PART 1

I will say that there are tons of fun movies that feature WWII, but they're not exactly 'about' it, they're just set in that era. Like, for example: Indiana Jones, Captain America First Avenger, etc. Even the not-fun ones tend to glorify the main characters in ways that movies about Vietnam will not (Hell, even Robin Williams' character in Good Morning Vietnam took on a darker shade when he tried in a rage to justify the war when he knew there was none), and that's likely thanks in no small part to the fact that we call the ones who aided in that war "The Greatest Generation" whereas the people we (America and the other Allies) were fighting seemed like literal cartoon villains even at the time. WWII, much more so than WWI, seemed like a true clash of good vs evil and there were a lot of stories in there that seemed out of fiction (whether it's the horrific deeds performed by Nazis or the amazing tales of Simo "The White Death" Hayha or Jack "Fighting/Mad Jack" Churchill), so it only makes sense that it has some more fun media set at the same time. Meanwhile, Vietnam was a mess and everyone knew it and knows it, and there's no real justification for it.

This is just a layman's take on it, though, and I apologize for perhaps going too deep into it.

Hey Arin said we have permission to make fun of him

Wish I watched this sooner b/c I know off hand that the game Dan is referring to (Where they lost the game audio) was Deadly Premonition

Died at the pp part! Lmao!

I just saw this in my feed, I literally exclaimed out loud "Oh SHIT!!" as I was excited to see Mega Grumps going in once again to the Robot Apocalypse of 2027!!

Passage was such an interesting experience for me, like one of the most profound and thought provoking indie games I've ever played, yet I have no desire to play it ever again.

I remember the music being really damn good too, although I can't recall it right now.

PSA: the ps1 japanese game LSD has nothing to do with the drug, its a dream journal

That description is a movie and a half ngl XD

There were some episodes of Paper Mario TTYD around the time of the Grubba fight maybe? Those had commentary only.

Beatrice…unfortunately, a girl I knew was called "Bitch-a-trice" and she carried that name through highschool. Hopefully she's okay.

Wanna play a game to make you feel some things and make you think and shit? What remains of Edith Finch is a definite recommend.

this felt like old game grumps. love it!

"These 1, 2, 3, 4… 8 bosses."
3*3… rip Dans math brain

ngl the bar mitzvah joke got me

i wonder who wrote that description 😂

Search up "seeing eye dawg" on youtube and click the first video. You will not be disappointed.

Death stranding is super fun and is a masterpiece of an experience! 🥺 (I can see why ppl won't give it a chance to be fair, but it's an amazing game)

Time for part four of the Tryforce trilogy: The Tryfource.

Damn, Arin really gave me a new perspective with that speech about games being art. I used to have the opinion that games should be fun first and should never try to be art if it diminishes the fun factor. But you're totally right, if games can be used to make people feel joy and fun, then they can be used to make them feel other emotions as well

I feel like I learned a lot on today’s episode. Thanks a lot!

It was my childhood ritual to speedrun MegaMan X in less than an hour. I wish I had a SNES to test my skills today.

I always thought the response was “I have a gun, bullets go fast, now there’s a hole in your ass”

With respect to Arin, I think the most iconic note in videogame history is

"Dear Mario,
Please come to the castle,

I have baked a cake for you.
Yours truly
Princess Toadstool
Peach."

arin is cool and handsome

god what a genius

As a Megan who was almost named Beatrice (after my great grandmother), I approve of Arin's taste in names.

Thats a good vid description

Anti-war legend Dan 😤

Ahh, so glad y’all are still doing Mega Man!

These types of games are the best cause they don't have to focus on the game much, so they just talk about cool stuff

That description is rather interesting.

Wait… Danny said "Six years ago we were doing Game Grumps." Is this not Game Grumps anymore?!?

The Death Stranding comment killed me. That game was one of my favorite mental breakdowns.

Man, I wish I could do anything and have anyone care about it. I basically scream into the void 4 times a week with no responses.

You've beaten the main quest in life, now you can go do all the weird side quests

Grumps getting deep today

Ok my bad comment is that arin and dan are to two too good bois and the good comments are that arin is great and dan is great

40:25 This exactly how I react after I realize I’ve made a horrible error lmao
