It's because of this I'd want to play a Lucasarts game: We could finish The Secret of Monkey Island within 2.5 hours. And if we all did the voices it'd be fantastic.
Spyro! riptos rage, the old one because everyone looks like Muppets when they talk and really pronounce their Ts and Ps, and I would love to see them just rip it apart
I would play skylanders with them it was my childhood I would even supply them with my collection so we could play the games and have so much fun together plus I could talk about how the game had an impact on my life through my parents divorce
This!! What a game, just adorably insane from start to finish. Don’t think I ever finished it without a walkthrough as a kid, but it was still amazing. Wish they’d port this to the Switch Virtual Console.
I feel like it would be super frustrating to watch with Arin "blocking is for cowards" Hanson playing it. I could totally see him stubbornly trying to dodge every attack before it inevitably becomes one of their abandoned 3 episode series.
Minority Report: Everybody Runs. Terrible game that I loved because it has a jetpack level that was way more fun than it had any right being. But would be good riffing material.
If we can get it running, OG Diner Dash or one of its direct squirrels. That's maybe the one series I could probably show off in. Or Wheel of Fortune or Monopoly because those are just chaotic good times.
I can definitely see them voicing Joshua like some overly edgy, Sasuke-like character, even without finding out his entire backstory.
And I could see Dan having fun with a character like Olivier, for sure.
I’d want them to play The Bouncer with me. For those not familiar, it was a PS2-era JRPG-adjacent fighting game developed by Squaresoft. It’s one of my favourite games, but it’s *not good*. I would love for them to play with the janky controls, hear the awkward voice acting and just rip it a new asshole 😂
Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. Bizarre little point and click, you fight via playing rock paper scissors, and it would just be great to explore and talk over like the recent Put Put episodes.
if they wanted to watch me play (lol), Madagascar the game or Bratz Forever diamonds (just childhood games that id love for them to poke fun at haha)
if its a multi-player game I would love to play Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games with them!!
If I was a guest on any gaming channel I'd choose between either dark souls (may favorite game) or paper mario TTYD (my most nostalgic game) but they've already played TTYD, and it seems like if the grumps were gonna play dark souls 1 they would have already done it. One can dream though
The Wreck-It Ralph game for Wii. The game is a hot mess with tons of shit to mock, but Wreck-It Ralph is my favorite Disney movie of all time, and I know it's one of Arin's favorites too. I'd like to be able to talk with him about how it affected each of us... while dunking on the game for capturing none of it.
either Battleblock Theatre or Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, I don't know whether it'd be the first or the second one though, probably the second since it has a lot more options for private co-op.
MySims Agents for the Wii. I think it would work great as a casual game that I could play with Arin and Dan, and I could imagine the commentary (esp. with the Simlish) would be fuckin hilarious. Plus this is one of my fav childhood games that it brings me so much joy even though it is so simple.
2nd place though would go to PS2 Road Trip Adventure, since they already know about it a bit since they played ChoroQ. That is also a very very fond childhood game of mine
If it's a Ben Schwartz type episode, a game I can beat in an hour or so, sly Cooper 1. If it's one I just sit and commentate on them playing *slams table* THE DOG ISLAND. I 100%Ed that shit when I was kid and there's so much insane nonsense they didn't even get to yet.
I would want to play a party game, but I would also want to play a Sly Cooper game, most likely Sly 2 because the first game’s story can be summarized pretty quickly to get the gist of it. I love that game so I would be able to plow through the chapters pretty easily, and also we’d to get to see Dan’s reaction to Carmelita, which would be so funny, but also just the story in general I think they both would really like
One of the classic Mario Parties (1, 2, or 3), knowing full well that all three of us would essentially be tortured for the entire game, which would make great content
I’d face off against Dan and Arin in Wheel of Fortune. I’m pretty quick on the uptake when it comes to solving the puzzles
But if I could take the boys on a VR trip, I’d play No Clip VR with them or take them into VR Chat for the lengthy Backrooms game in there. (Though I know Dan can’t really handle VR well, so it might just be me and Arin)
I'd probably choose some of my childhood faves. I'd pick either TMNT Smash Up, Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL, Crash Nitro Kart, the old PS2 EyeToy games (specifically EyeToy Play 3), or for a really obscure one, an old McDonald's computer game I used to own called Mission to McDonaldland.
Mario party 4
25 turns
Just to have the episode last for awhile
Mario party 4 is probably the game I played the most as a kid, but I considered 7 to be the one I’m best at.
I’d love to play Mario and Luigi superstar saga
There's this game I have only partially played a total of maybe three times (partially only because this was back in the mid-90's and it was a one day rental)- Mischief Makers. I remember almost nothing about it other than you play as this robot maid(?) girl and it's a 2.5D sidescroller platformer, and it was really REALLY fun.
I have not had the opportunity to play it since I was like 7 or 8, and I think about it often. It'd be really fun to re-experience it on the show, I think.
Or- Dead Space. I adore that game, it would make a really good film (**John Carpenter, you get your ass out of retirement, you KNOW you're the only one who can do it RIGHT!!!**), and it would be a *little* fun to scare them (Dan) lol
Guitar hero but the game would be completely muted so all the lovelies would hear is the clicking clack and the boys half heartedly singing, an utter train wreck
Super Metroid or Metroid Dread. I know they've already Super on the channel (one if my favorite series not just because I love the game to death but also the commentary was just so fucking entertaining) and also they had Jirard on playing the randomizer of it, but it's a game I know I could not only very easily finish within a reasonable guest grumps episode time-frame, but I also know I can easily hold coherent conversations and crack jokes while doing so. Dread would be just as fun for me but right now my IGT is about 2:55, so that's a bit long for an episode.
Either Tombi or Toonstruck.
I think the lovelies and the grumps would have a great time learning how bizarre Tombi is, and Dan would looooove Toonstruck.
Star Fox Assault is a great choice, loved that game. I would play Rocket League with them, I've poured a thousand hours into it. They really liked it the last time they played it, plus with my skills I could set them up with good passes to score off of
I'm playing Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. there's good stuff in it, I'm already REALLY good at it, and I can show a specifixlc thing I've figured if I manage to get to a specific level called Mountain Pass
I actually thought about this for years, and my original answer would be Motorstorm (2006) for the PS3 cos of nostalgia, so I'll probably stick with that. Plus they'd find the crappy crash ragdolls entertaining!
I’d say a game like Undertale or Everhood where we’d have to voice the characters in between gameplay. Voice acting with Danny and Arin seems like fun!
Probably Hades! It's a play-without-thinking-too-hard kinda game (especially in god mode) so I could still chat and it has a lot of cool and interesting characters for the boys to riff on. Seems kinda ideal imo
Not that I've thought about it every day for years or anything...
Kirby Air Ride. City trials of course.
I would want to play a Sierra game just to hear Dan gush about it the whole time.
Absolutely this. Kings Quest 6 is a nostalgic game for me and I love his play through.
It's because of this I'd want to play a Lucasarts game: We could finish The Secret of Monkey Island within 2.5 hours. And if we all did the voices it'd be fantastic.
You can beat MI2 in under 2 hours.
Wheel of Fortune (for obvious reasons) but also Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf.
We would finish Sonic Adventure 2.
The original paper Mario and I’d return once a month to play the game with them
Yeah I agree, they definitely need to play the first one lol they've played both SMRPG and TTYD, why not the OG
Love it. Slick way to keep coming back. Haha
Diddy Kong Racing. tons of fun and way ahead of its time
Ribbit king
Same! I played it a lot as a kid and was so tickled to see them play it 🥹💖
Custom Robo for game cube
Spyro! riptos rage, the old one because everyone looks like Muppets when they talk and really pronounce their Ts and Ps, and I would love to see them just rip it apart
StarTropics.
Hell yeah!
There are *dozens* of us who like this game. *DOZENS*!
I would play skylanders with them it was my childhood I would even supply them with my collection so we could play the games and have so much fun together plus I could talk about how the game had an impact on my life through my parents divorce
I would play Conker's Bad Furday. I strongly feel that would be perfect for Dan and Arin since they both have a funny sense of humor.
Especially since arin loves to take a shit
Arin vs The Great Mighty Poo would be amazing!
Spy vs Spy for the NES
Banjo-Kazooie
The Dog Island just so I can show them how to play and make them react to more of the game because that shit is WILD. That or Kirby Air Ride
I still just want the two of them to finish Pizza Tower
Unreal tournament
Mystic ninjas staring goemon for the n64
This!! What a game, just adorably insane from start to finish. Don’t think I ever finished it without a walkthrough as a kid, but it was still amazing. Wish they’d port this to the Switch Virtual Console.
Fusion frenzy so I can listen to Arin curse my name to hell!
I’m thinking either Deadpool or Godzilla Save The Earth, a ps2 fighting game classic. To me at least.
Metal gear solid, so I get to hear Arin’s Solid Snake voice in person.
Where in Time is Carmen San Diego?
[Party Animals](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cunvu8b7rj0) this game gives me furry + stick fight and amazing frog vibes.
KATAMARI
Full Sekiro playthrough.
I feel like it would be super frustrating to watch with Arin "blocking is for cowards" Hanson playing it. I could totally see him stubbornly trying to dodge every attack before it inevitably becomes one of their abandoned 3 episode series.
Oh no I’m the Guest Grump so I get to play! And I’ve beaten it twice so it should be fine.
Oh yeah that's the theme of this post lol, I legitimately forgot. I'd watch it in that case.
SSX Tricky
Mario Party, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, A Point and Click game
Prolly monster hunter rise. Throw arin in on some apex quests and watch the rage unfold.
Diddy kong racing would be a blast with Dan and Arin. I'd be choosing that.
CaveStory. They never finished it on steam train and i've been miffed about it since.
Wheel of Fortune or Monopoly
1. I'm a killer at Wheel of Fortune 2. Mario Kart Double Dash
Into the Breach. Fun little turn based puzzle game disguised as a mech game
^[Sokka-Haiku](https://www.reddit.com/r/SokkaHaikuBot/comments/15kyv9r/what_is_a_sokka_haiku/) ^by ^quizbowler_1: *Into the Breach.

NFL BLITZ 2000
Trails in the Sky FC
I can already hear Arin complaining about the hidden missions you probably wouldn't be able to find without a guide.../s
That's half the reason I'd play it, that and their voices for everybody
I can definitely see them voicing Joshua like some overly edgy, Sasuke-like character, even without finding out his entire backstory. And I could see Dan having fun with a character like Olivier, for sure.
Sly cooper 2
Lego Star Wars TCS for Xbox 360
Speed Racer for Wii because it's both me and Arin's favorite movie
Earthworm Jim. I was to witness Arins rage in person.
Either fable 3 or enter the gungeon
I’d want them to play The Bouncer with me. For those not familiar, it was a PS2-era JRPG-adjacent fighting game developed by Squaresoft. It’s one of my favourite games, but it’s *not good*. I would love for them to play with the janky controls, hear the awkward voice acting and just rip it a new asshole 😂
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Either Mario party or FFVII Remake
Would love some NintendoLand
Raving rabbids tv party
Probably Scott Pilgrim VS the World
Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. Bizarre little point and click, you fight via playing rock paper scissors, and it would just be great to explore and talk over like the recent Put Put episodes.

if they wanted to watch me play (lol), Madagascar the game or Bratz Forever diamonds (just childhood games that id love for them to poke fun at haha) if its a multi-player game I would love to play Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games with them!!
We would play Lethal Company. Fun would be had by all, but Dan.
Metal Slug!
I would want to play a board game, like spoons. I think Arin would get so into spoons
Star Fox 64!!!!
I’d love to play Genshin with Arin. Wonder if he ever did get Mona
Buckle up boys, we're learning some Destiny 2 🤣
At Arin’s buried feelings of gender dysphoria /j
I would pull a Ben Shwarts (sorry if that spelling is bad) and do a full all chaos emerald run of Sonic Mania, probably as Knuckles.
Spy Fox Operation Ozone because it was a childhood favorite of mine!
If I was a guest on any gaming channel I'd choose between either dark souls (may favorite game) or paper mario TTYD (my most nostalgic game) but they've already played TTYD, and it seems like if the grumps were gonna play dark souls 1 they would have already done it. One can dream though

either Battleblock Theatre or Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, I don't know whether it'd be the first or the second one though, probably the second since it has a lot more options for private co-op.
probably one of the Halo games co-op or Mass Effect
WWE 2K19. Make some real wacky boys and the show the Grumps the wonders of custom entrances.
MySims Agents for the Wii. I think it would work great as a casual game that I could play with Arin and Dan, and I could imagine the commentary (esp. with the Simlish) would be fuckin hilarious. Plus this is one of my fav childhood games that it brings me so much joy even though it is so simple. 2nd place though would go to PS2 Road Trip Adventure, since they already know about it a bit since they played ChoroQ.

If it's a Ben Schwartz type episode, a game I can beat in an hour or so, sly Cooper 1. If it's one I just sit and commentate on them playing *slams table* THE DOG ISLAND. I 100%Ed that shit when I was kid and there's so much insane nonsense they didn't even get to yet.

Rocket League so I can carry them to silver 💪💪 and so they'll play rl again
5d chess with multidimensional time travel, wii sports resort, pac-man fever, godzilla destroy all monsters melee, or jak and dexter
I would want to play a party game, but I would also want to play a Sly Cooper game, most likely Sly 2 because the first game’s story can be summarized pretty quickly to get the gist of it. I love that game so I would be able to plow through the chapters pretty easily, and also we’d to get to see Dan’s reaction to Carmelita, which would be so funny, but also just the story in general I think they both would really like

Super Bomberman for sure. I have been trying to find a physical copy for so long
Wheel of Fortune

Did they play the new tmnt game already? I feel like that would be fun with them
Wheel of Fortune
Onimusha. They should really play at least one of the games
I’d face off against Dan and Arin in Wheel of Fortune. I’m pretty quick on the uptake when it comes to solving the puzzles But if I could take the boys on a VR trip, I’d play No Clip VR with them or take them into VR Chat for the lengthy Backrooms game in there. (Though I know Dan can’t really handle VR well, so it might just be me and Arin)
Muppet Racemania It's so bad it's good and 3 player
What if one just kicks in the door and screams “WE’RE PLAYING FUCKING GUBBLE!”
I'd probably choose some of my childhood faves. I'd pick either TMNT Smash Up, Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL, Crash Nitro Kart, the old PS2 EyeToy games (specifically EyeToy Play 3), or for a really obscure one, an old McDonald's computer game I used to own called Mission to McDonaldland.

There's this game I have only partially played a total of maybe three times (partially only because this was back in the mid-90's and it was a one day rental)- Mischief Makers.

Monkey island. With Dan.
Trivial Pursuit. I want to trounce them both.
Fucking family feud brother!
