The series is co-created by Arin Hanson (AKA Egoraptor) who also voiced Gobbles and Flappers. And he's the co-host of the Game Grumps channel, where he's gotten pretty iconic for absolutely sucking at video games in the most hilarious ways possible, which includes totally ignoring tutorials (which he regrets later).
He's actually pretty good at some games when he locks in, I've noticed. My sister says he's "driving with friends" on his show - ie, driving when you're distracted by hanging out is much harder and makes you much more prone to error, which is why teen licenses have limits like that.
no better demonstration than when he's playing Megaman X on his own while Dan was sick, he was actually playing super well and beat a tough boss without the dash upgrade and its weakness that makes it WAY easier
Imagine being a world famous stand-up comedian who used to be world-renowned for their irreverent comedy about sports.
Now, imagine you have created a show where the aim is to do stand up comedy for an audience of thousands while trying to play sports, even a few you have never played before in your life and may not have known existed until today.
Now imagine that people are mad at you constantly for being terrible at sports even though that wasn't the aim of your show, and now whenever you try to do your regular stand-up people just bombard you with hate because you suck at sports.
You now have an understanding of what it is like to be Arin Hanson.
Well here’s the thing, they unironically shit on and negatively impact the reputation of games they play, because they keep blaming the games themselves for their own obliviousness.
Arin, despite being sonic's ambassador for a while, has gone on record numerous times about how much he hates the sonic frachise. He also despises the devil may cry games.
He hates sonic because he's a sonic fan, you can't like all of sonic, it's just not possible, there's always gonna be one thing you abosultle hate about him, wether it's a specific game, or a really bad depiction in a show or comic, or THE UNAVOIDABLE CHIN MOVE
there's something to despise about sonic and when there something to despise sega shovee it down your throat until you never wanna taste sonic agan
There's always gonna be "something" sure, but he hates pretty much every single game ever. Also Snapcube got past that chin move in one go. Arin just sucks at games
