To clarify, it's not like they fought or anything. Jon just wanted to devote more time to his own channel and those more informative videos.

Honestly I can't stand to even give an attempt at watching Game Grumps unless it's some game I've never seen people do before and I'm too lazy to youtube search, or they say they're good at it (usually they are). Because, and even within those, when they get bored of talking about the game/gaming or aren't funny they sometimes start expressing their opinions on actual things in the world, and their opinions are jack loving garbage 80% of the time.
Or at least Egoraptor's are.
JonTron and Danny I haven't had any discourse in what they say aside from rolling my eyes when Danny make jokes about being jewish cause that doesn't get old, but Egoraptor can be dumber than a sack of rock sometimes.

A problem I had with Game Grumps is that they either don't know what to do or they're not paying attention, so they loving lollygag around in the game. I tried watching the early episodes of their Sunshine runthrough and it didn't seem like they knew where the first Shine was. They gently caress around just long enough for it to get frustrating.

Edit: Besides, the fans just animate their best moments so I can just watch those without having to sit through the entire thing.

I honestly do wonder how a professional style interview with DSP would go, because I couldn't see him lasting 3 questions without him getting pissy over something.

Did they ever figure out whether he kidnapped a girl or not? Because I didn't really make it through that first super creepy interaction. It was that cringe-worthy for me.

If you saw the video they did of his Fire Emblem romhack to cap off Retsublitz, dude has a thing for inserting himself into games and having relationships with the girls in the game, so I think I know where the White playthrough went in terms of story.

Edit: Also, dude said his White LP was a blind run, but come the gently caress on. He had a plot and video editing. Come the gently caress on.

Super Bunnyhop, who also does some pretty interesting critical/analytic videos, recently started a European Extreme mode (which gives you a game over whenever you're spotted) no kills, no tranquilizer run of Metal Gear Solid 3. In his videos analyzing MGS2 and 3 he's mentioned that he thinks the tranquilizer breaks MGS2 and 3 as far as non-lethal playthroughs go, and watching his playthrough really shows how much more interesting the game gets when you're forced to be creative instead of just using the Mk22 to get out of any situation.

The videos are done with live commentary, but he does a decent amount of editing to them. Sometimes you have to rewatch bits when he fails and then retries an area, but plenty of deaths are removed entirely and in general he's pretty good about editing out repetition. He's also got a decent sense of humor and rarely strays off topic, only when there isn't much going on in the game to talk about. I've been really enjoying the videos, and definitely want to try running the game this way myself once the LP is over.

Part 1

This just finished the other day and it really is worth watching.

Well to be fair, sometimes they really turn out some fantastic stuff. My younger brother pointed me in the direction of some videos where the guy runs game ROMs through a program that corrupts random data points within it, and then plays through them and posts the hilarious results. I wouldn't call them a "Let's Play" though.

I thought he left because he wanted to hang out with his girlfriend/ was moving to like New York or something. I dunno. I honestly still enjoy JonTron's videos though.

The official story is that Game Grumps didn't give Jon much time to work on his own show, which was a common sentiment among the fans. His own output has been much more frequent since leaving Grumps.
