Still reeling at the fact that all of their Sonic Shuffle problems stem from Arin selecting the wrong controller settings at the beginning, making them completely blind to what cards they had in their hands.
I mean, here’s the thing with sonic shuffle, they didn’t play it right at all. Apparently there are specific controllers with screens on them for games like sonic shuffle, and it shows what cards you have. And if you don’t have the controllers, then the emulator that they used has an option to help you out. It was a bad game not because it actually was but because they didn’t have it set up correctly.
@@ericeric2973 Arin played the game on original hardware before with OneyPlays years ago, so Arin had experience with it and somehow completely forgot about it. That video was the only experience I had with Sonic Shuffle and even I remembered that years later when Arin and Dan played it. Sometimes the stuff Arin forgets is so comedically specific that it seems intentional.
Man they only did 3 episodes of that and it’s SO fuckin’ funny with the jokes they came up with. I especially love the bit with them “arguing” over Game of Thrones.
I know everyone comes here for the Carbuncle but I was in tears with “it had all my favorite SONGS ON IT!” Dan laughs before Arin even has a chance because he knows it was so good.
Arin was almost in hot water with Dan when Arin recklessly jumped his horse in that water (instead of taking the bridge) and then nearly got stuck in said water, however, just like those collectively moving tufts of grass, when the going got tuft, the tuft got going thereby giving Arin and Horse the strength to finally escape the water.
There's nothing objectively wrong with this sentence, but somehow it absolutely does feel like a reading induced stroke. it's amazing and i'm here for it
The year of the Backstreet Boys Reunion Tour, what a time that was Yet somehow, they’re still selling tickets. They really wanna make sure we all know they’re back alright
The carbuncle ate itself is so iconic and I've seen it hundreds of time... it STILL sent me into a laughing fit where I had to take off my headphones and walk away from the computer to breath.
There was honestly something kinda special about the episodes they recorded in separate locations. Definately not saying it was better in any way, but I did love how Arin would say something or something would happen to him and other would be like a full second delay before Dan cracked up at it. It was very funny in its own special way.
The amazing thing about Clannad to me is that it has a beautiful, emotional storyline but the characters look like the work of aliens trying to replicate anime artwork.
I got into game grumps in February 2020 a little before the backstreet boy sudden comeback era but honestly I owe you guys so much for being my biggest comfort during that difficult time.
my favorite thing about the Clannad ep was how they went in expecting standard shenanigans but then got slapped in the face with Clannad's actual heavy starting tone with Tomoya's disdain for his dad lmao.
Lol! I actually played both the Clannad and Prison Princess games during the pandemic because of your brief playthrough of them! 2020 was also the year I finally got back to watching GameGrumps after watching other channels from 2018-January 2020.
Oh damn the Bayala "OO-AH-AH-AH-AH" sent me into HYSTERICS when I first saw it while doing university work at home. Seriously a highlight of that damn year, thank u game grumps (and thank u sbassbear for reminding me of it)
Dan: "I hope It's a sauna where they're all nude." * Sees Sonic just chilling in an office space while Tails stares ominously through the back door * Dan: "Oh my god it kind of is." He had definitely lost his mind at this point.
There is some game design shenanigans regarding: "The carbuncle ate itself" I think the carbuncle counts as a geode type item. and the carbuncle needs to eat one geode type item per turn to stay in your inventory. So basically, if you dont use your carbuncle while you have no other geode in your inventory, then you'll lose it... because it will eat itself.... I dont even know why I know this. I never played that game. I think a comment in the original video wrote this. Thanks anon op.

The fact that the Grumps made the (Sonic Shuffle) game unintentionally far more difficult because the game required you to have the Memory Tamagotchi thing back in the day and it displayed your personal cards , it wasnt *ALL* random they just made it so
When dan is talking about Camillas paws at 32:55 if a dogs paws smell like fritos, it means they have yeast in between their paw pads! It’s an easy fix, there’s a treatment that is iodine and pure shea butter. but thought i should explain, hope this helps!!

@@KinoHiroshino it really isnt tho. It sure is funny but at the end of the day its a porn game with bad writing, that was made funny by the people playing it
Agreed, I was dissatisfied with their house party playthrough this time. It's clear they were getting paid to play the DLC and weren't really in the mood to play the game or give it a fair shake. 🤔
I completely buried the memory of the first sonic shuffle game crashing. Gosh what a nightmare that game was 😂. I felt so bad for them by the time they actually finished.
These episodes all feel like an actual fever dream. I don't remember any of this except for the carbunkle bit. And i know i was warching everything GG back in 2020 because uhhh yeah
Roman's Christmas was such a disappointment. A mystery story inside a visual novel was as boring as sitting at home trying to not to get Backstreet Boys tickets.
I'm proud that one day I can tell my grandkids that their grandfather was there the day the carbuncle ate itself.
I hope that you are able to imbue them with that eternal knowledge.
I still have no idea why it's so funny to people. And I've played this game more times than I can count!

Sonic Shuffle isn't simply a drug trip, it's the kind of drug trip you have that makes you think 'So...is this what dying feels like?'
It's a drug trip in the sense that you thought you were just smoking weed but SURPRISE it's laced with crack
@@autumnsprite XDDDD Precisely. It's like 'Oop, can feel my synapses melting'

That was not the only issue with that game. Lol
That game is just a clunkier Mario Party. Although, it was a blast to watch.
"The carbuncle ate itself" is one of my favorite GG moments of all time, so damn funny
_The Unicorn Princess, Sonic Shuffle,_ and _House Party_ were all so hilariously bad, exactly what I nedded to get through quarentine.

Today is football

Top ten biggest Game Grumps Mistake
Number 1: putting one of the AI on Hard Difficulty during Sonic Shuffle

The Carbuncle ate itself is an all time classic
Sonic Shuffle was only in 2020? Jeez, it feels like that Carbuncle line has etched into GG lore for half their run at this point
How dare you put House Party in this, House Party is gold
Yeah, House Party shone with a light as though from within, like the very jewels of Feanor.
House Party was definitely gold, that’s why they only included the parts where everyone forgets how to walk
Sonic Shuffle will be remembered as the greatest tragedy in Game Grumps history
The joystick in the thumbnail was a long thought out decision wasn't it?
I sea what you mean
joystick?
@@avengefullgirl95im assuming the thumbnail was changed
@@LogCabinMusicIn 3 minutes i guess, I wasnt trying to say op was wrong 😅 I was genuinely confused
@@avengefullgirl95 sorry, it's just that i call the controller a joystick out of habit
The best thing about picking things out at random is that you'll never know what to expect..... and then theres Roman's Christmas.
The way that Sonic Shuffle is half of this video is such an accurate representation of the suffering it put them through.
we will never forget your commitment to bringing us the bad, during the bad, to make us feel good
They should really bring back sonic shuffle for a one-off episode to seek revenge on Knuckles
