Something about arin and Dan reading the newspaper about a wanted murderer and then not reading the rules that day about how to catch THAT murderer is peak grumpage.
I had NO IDEA that you could allow your family members to stay in the red for this long, nor that they could have THIS MANY things going wrong with them at the same time. I've always played on the edge of my seat, not realizing that it's apparently WAY MORE forgiving than I thought.
Dan does the same thing in mario games he gets to play, if there's a time limit he takes forever but once there isn't one he just sprints through the levels
I've got ADHD too... He is rather slow cus Arin is Arin It's not down to attention deficit necessarily, though I can see why you'd mention it @@IMD918but it's really funny to see them play this game with them being them :) I hope they might consider doing more than one playthrough even
@@IMD918 i mean cmon man, I do too and I know I'd do terribly, but hes also just like snails pace, swirling his mouse, singing a lil jaunty tune for the first 10 minutes lmao
I have ADHD and have played this game and it PAINS me how slow he goes through the days and then wondered why he has no money and why his family is dying
Don’t know how Dan keeps thinking the blueberry girl is Veruca Salt when the line is literally “Violet, you’re turning violet!” This is like the 3rd episode this has happened in
Both V names, but that's it. Maybe Veruca is more memorable since a lot of kids heard the name for the first/only time through Willy Wonka, as opposed to a more common name like Violet?
Arin feels like he has to scrutinize every piece of info multiple times.... also he doesnt realize the book has short cuts so that cuts into a big chunk of time
@@gothic_ace2037you get the shortcuts later as an upgrade, but he can click the bookmark to instantly get him to the title page and use the index there
@@gothic_ace2037 I'm hoping if they continue this series there isn't as much of a break in between so that he can remember some info like the seal shape and the city names so he doesn't have to check it every single time.
Me seeing Vince Lestrade thinking there's no way in hell Arin will figure out he's meant to inspect his picture with the news bulletin, and being proved right not 5 seconds later
to be fair, it wasn't the prints that were the problem, it was the alias. He was right about the prints every time. Also, you are literally supposed to eyeball the prints, but i guess go off and back seat game incorrectly some more, kid.
@@chimeramanticoreTbh it LOOKS pretty relaxing!!! I mean…Besides it’s uncanny resemblance to Life…Where nobody’s ever happy, you can never get ahead, and your noble acts end up futile attempts at delaying the inevitable….
It probably doesn't help that they used the term "salary" which is usually a fixed rate of income, as apposed to something like a piece-rate which is what this game does. Thought (6) next to it is some indication. Kinda funny that he's completed the same number every day.
Arin every other game: *blazes through it not giving a damn about consequences or instructions* Arin during Papers, Please: *taking his sweet time making sure to do everything by the book* Arin: "I gotta go faster!!?"
They're also missing out on potential earnings - you only get paid for people you let through, and some of them are able to produce missing documents if you interrogate them instead of just denying them straight away.
I like how they read the rules for the day every time, and it always had something new to keep an eye for, then suddenly decided not to read the rules for some reason on one of the more important ones that explain the Detain mechanic.
For the murderer, you can flag his face and match it to the bulletin picture on your daily briefing. If you let him in, they'll give you a citation for not flagging his face. For Dari ludem you can inspect the paper and his name, and initiate the detainment
this is wonderful advice, but theres like a 1% chance he or anyone who would tell him see this lmao. But this info is great for any lovelies playing the game themselves!!
I would be curious to see them bring on a guest who knows how to play this game super well and have them freak out at how much faster they could go lol
Didn't they have an episode where the title mentioned that? I was looking for it a couple weeks ago but couldn't find it...maybe they deleted it for some reason?
I'm staring at it and it looks almost identical. Is that really what you are supposed to asume, becasue they should have made it more obvious in that case...
"Why would you make me do the fingerprint if it's just going to be wrong?" Arin ignores a core element of all gameplay: A game presents its player with some form of challenge.
them not knowing how to use the checking tool is killing me but i love this game and i love these grumps so its ok... just wish we had a third grump again for series requiring observation...
Yeah instead of denying immediately, call out the discrepancies, sometimes they legit have the thing and all is good. Him fumbling on the ticket and then giving up and just denying was maddening XD
There's actually a trick where you can save a bit of money by alternating the days in which you buy food for your family, because afaik there's no need to feed them if they're not hungry.
yeah I think the optimal strat is to alternate food and heating. They will get cold and hungry alternatingly, but I don't think they can get sick from only one day of either. So you can basically pay half as much per day by swapping between the two without risking further costs from medicine and such. Then you just throw up a png of the entire guide book on one page on a second monitor and you're *really* ready to play this game lol
@@BlazeMakesGames I believe this is, in fact, the exact math you are meant to discover. Your choices are either to get crazy good and fast at the game or understand that the game is rigged and play it that way. Just like IRL!
When you get better at the game you start to recognize a lot of the names of cities without having to check them out, and that helps. Also, once you embrace the idea that you can have a few mistakes without penalty and you don't get paid anything for denied passports, you can take it a little easier and trust your instincts a bit. And if the day is winding down and you haven't made any mistakes, feel free to send a few folks through with bad paperwork. You'll still get paid.
Arin: I don’t have money! Why don’t I have any money? Also Arin: Goes extremely slow on the IDs(he’s new, so I get it) and gets penalized multiple times by not paying close enough attention.
Plenty of people have mentioned not using the examination tool enough, but what's killing me is Arin flipping through the pages rather than using the bookmark/table of contents to go to pages faster.
Do you think it's because you play alone whilst not trying to pull off entertaining dialogue at the same time? Or do you just get enjoyment from pointing out other people's mistakes? You guys are the reason the comments don't get read by our boys.
Arin is the third TH-camr I’ve watched play papers please and he is by far the slowest 😂😂 I can’t believe this is the game where I’m yelling at the screen.
Yeah the main function of the game is to match things up and look for discrepancies so when they find them and go "okay so how do I use this?" Without even trying to match it with anything is stressful.
Yes! I'm so glad you guys came back to this game. It's one of my favorites. What's funny is Arin actually stumbled onto a good strategy. You can just allow or deny without highlighting discrepancies to save a TON of time until the day after the reporter shows up and you have to mark denials with a reason stamp too.
Just as a tip because I noticed that you guys didn't know what to do with the murderer guy, you can point out problems with the discrepancy tool that aren't just wrong information, so if a criminal comes in, pull up the paper that had the criminal and highlight the person and their picture on the paper. This is also important to do when they don't have a document, where you can point out that they don't have it by pulling up the rule in the book, and selecting the table and that rule. Doing that will ask them where the rest of the papers are, and they might give you what your missing to let them through, or they will give an excuse, which usually denies them. Hope this helps!!
honestly that second half is only useful in the later half of the game when you are required to give a reason for denial, until that point you can just deny them if they dont have their paper work ready without getting a pink slip
@@gothic_ace2037 that's true, I just felt to include it so later in the game they understand that they will have to start giving a reason that is confirmed by going to the rules and such, so if something is missing, they point it out. It can be good to just get a pattern down early to make sure you're doing everything correct in the long run I guess lol
@@SoundCosine70Plus, you have the potential to make more money early on if you are able to let in more people by asking them for the rest of their papers, even if you could just deny them.
Watching Arin and Dan go through this after watching Jack's playthrough years ago is giving me nostalgia in all the right places. Also, I can't help but refer to the guy with the hand-drawn passports as "Potato Man" complete with Jack's accent. I can't be the only one.
Yeah I feel like it wouldn't hurt them to look it up and just find out that it depends on how many people you let in.. there's really no spoiling in that lol
Something about Arin still letting a guy in who clearly had the wrong name on his passport and then surprised about the penalty. Classic Game Grumps. Love this channel so much. 😂😂
"What if you just don't let anybody in?" "I dunno, the economy will be in shambles?" Arin and Dan literally stumbled on a huge reason immigration is actually important in a very real and meaningful way without even trying to be political or ideological
I think we can be more charitable than "stumbled on" given the kind of liberal reading Arin does in his free time; they're keeping things dumb and lighthearted because that's the show, but rest assured that they're picking up on the ideology the game is laying down; everything is political, but being flip and sarcastic about the heavy themes in a game to disarm and put the audience at ease is part of the job. Despite the character he portrays as a grump, real life Hanson the CEO is pretty dang smart!
@@ShadowXeneth Yeah, I don't know how "saying what would happen in an off-handed manner" equates to "they stumbled into ideology". They obviously chose to say those words, so they have some idea.
They’re just entertainers. That’s literally all they do. That or relax and enjoy life. I wouldn’t give them too much credit. Not saying they aren’t smart.. just.. yeah..
Happy to see more of this! Granted, it seems like a brutal game, especially if you miss some of the mechanics. Which they have. I hope they learn some things from the comments, without worrying about all the people frustrated that they don't know how to play. (I understand the frustration, but it's not like Arin is messing up on purpose) I continue to love all of the custom art for the thumbnails!
So, I requested this specifically because this game is one of the greats among earthbound, outer wilds, FTL, where there's an incredibly riche tapestry of Ludo narrative and actual narrative that provides you with gut wrenching moral decisions. It's a top game because it is an important game that showcase the reality and cruelty of migration systems, and later on truly makes you feel for the characters you meet. If Danny was about to cry from doki doki or Danganronpa, I'm nigh certain the characters will create an emotional response that I'm excited to witness. Please play this to completion.
Here to say that magnet ad was perfection. Well produced. Well written. Acted beautifully. I actually watched the whole thing and am looking forward to seeing it again
i’m so used to jacksepticeyes “DETAINED!!!!” that hearing arin, in the most monotone voice, being like “just get the fuck out i don’t have time for this” is cracking me up
You can use the discrepancy detector more often, especially if you arent sure of something, such as the work pass stamp. Connect it with the valid stamps in your book. Its very helpful and just might be better than trying to scrutinize the details yourself.
Best advice I have is to get a separate screen or a tablet with a country guide so you don't have to flip through the book all the time. You guys could even have a division of labor between Arin and Dan, like Arin checks country and codes while Dan checks faces and names.
gods i want to watch them and sean play this game in the same room but Sean cannot have the controls. I just want to hear him screaming in the background "GREATEST COUNTRY MOTHER PROUD!!!"
As someone who has worked with both passports, and visas, it really does end up like that. "Your paperwork doesn't match. I really don't give a fuck. Get out of my sight. I'm sick of hearing excuses."
Usually when I hear about the angry comments they talk about getting I'm like "lol how do they get so worked up?" But today was the day I felt like leaving multiple angry comments about how they don't know how to play the game haha
you dont get to keep the news paper, its in the paper packet when you enter your booth, you gotta click on that and the name in his passport@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN
@@djgucci528when you're new to the game there's a lot of information to take in and I think that makes you forget about a lot of the functions in the game. You figure out later on how to keep all your documents in place and to remember to use essentially all of them to your advantage. I think most people need time to figure out how to use the fingerprints as well. Essentially, you need to match everything up and figure out what correlates.

I had NO IDEA that you could allow your family members to stay in the red for this long, nor that they could have THIS MANY things going wrong with them at the same time.
I've always played on the edge of my seat, not realizing that it's apparently WAY MORE forgiving than I thought.
The strat is you pick two things and neglect one, and just rotate their needs
The one time Arin doesn't want to speed through something and there's a time limit.
Dan does the same thing in mario games he gets to play, if there's a time limit he takes forever but once there isn't one he just sprints through the levels
Arin scrutinizing passports slower than anyone I've ever seen play this game: "Wow, I'm breezing by today"

@@SoundCosine70Plus, you have the potential to make more money early on if you are able to let in more people by asking them for the rest of their papers, even if you could just deny them.
Didnt expect this one to come back, ain't exactly the kind of game where they can talk a lot and not be focused.
But glad it did
It *isnt* that type of game, but they did do it anyway
Watching Arin and Dan go through this after watching Jack's playthrough years ago is giving me nostalgia in all the right places.
Also, I can't help but refer to the guy with the hand-drawn passports as "Potato Man" complete with Jack's accent. I can't be the only one.
He’s Potato Man to me too.
Mr. Potato Man, you were always my favorite
13:08 Dan: “How do you make money in this game?”
Arin: I DON’T KNOW
Most grump energy ever😂😂
Yeah I feel like it wouldn't hurt them to look it up and just find out that it depends on how many people you let in.. there's really no spoiling in that lol
Something about Arin still letting a guy in who clearly had the wrong name on his passport and then surprised about the penalty. Classic Game Grumps. Love this channel so much. 😂😂
“How do I make money in this game !”
Be quicker. Be better.
Glory to Arstotzka !
lol the game is basically saying Get Good Scrub
32:05
“Things are going to be great for you here!”
Literally explodes a few seconds later
Amazing timing
I absolutely adore how dad keeps correcting Arin when he mispronounces Arstoska, and Arin just does not care
The dude who consistently comes with better documents/forgeries? and is always nice about it is a legend.
I am still astonished by this game and how efficiently it communicates its ideas about bureaucracy.
Just doing your best and your whole family dying as a result of your negligence is just so relatable. No wonder the fans want more.
"What if you just don't let anybody in?"
"I dunno, the economy will be in shambles?"
Arin and Dan literally stumbled on a huge reason immigration is actually important in a very real and meaningful way without even trying to be political or ideological
I think we can be more charitable than "stumbled on" given the kind of liberal reading Arin does in his free time; they're keeping things dumb and lighthearted because that's the show, but rest assured that they're picking up on the ideology the game is laying down; everything is political, but being flip and sarcastic about the heavy themes in a game to disarm and put the audience at ease is part of the job.
Despite the character he portrays as a grump, real life Hanson the CEO is pretty dang smart!
@@ShadowXeneth Yeah, I don't know how "saying what would happen in an off-handed manner" equates to "they stumbled into ideology". They obviously chose to say those words, so they have some idea.
They’re just entertainers. That’s literally all they do. That or relax and enjoy life. I wouldn’t give them too much credit. Not saying they aren’t smart.. just.. yeah..
To be fair, if your country has a good birthrate, adding more immigrants can actually cause problems for the country due to overpopulation.
Happy to see more of this! Granted, it seems like a brutal game, especially if you miss some of the mechanics. Which they have. I hope they learn some things from the comments, without worrying about all the people frustrated that they don't know how to play.
(I understand the frustration, but it's not like Arin is messing up on purpose)
I continue to love all of the custom art for the thumbnails!
Literally rewatched this yesterday! And I was thinking man I hope they do another ep of this!
I was SO SAD when I saw this in the "one off" playlist so this is exciting seeing you bring it back 🥺 THANK YOU 💜
that voice crack at 22:01 on the word traveler was amazing and i’m so sad dan didn’t tease arin for it
Oh sweet I almost forgot they started this up again, so excited to see Dan's reaction to some of the upcoming story beats
So, I requested this specifically because this game is one of the greats among earthbound, outer wilds, FTL, where there's an incredibly riche tapestry of Ludo narrative and actual narrative that provides you with gut wrenching moral decisions. It's a top game because it is an important game that showcase the reality and cruelty of migration systems, and later on truly makes you feel for the characters you meet. If Danny was about to cry from doki doki or Danganronpa, I'm nigh certain the characters will create an emotional response that I'm excited to witness. Please play this to completion.
i feel like arin is close to a bad ending, i hope that when that happens Dan gets a turn to try
@@gothic_ace2037 same
Here to say that magnet ad was perfection. Well produced. Well written. Acted beautifully. I actually watched the whole thing and am looking forward to seeing it again
i’m so used to jacksepticeyes “DETAINED!!!!” that hearing arin, in the most monotone voice, being like “just get the fuck out i don’t have time for this” is cracking me up
"The carbuncle eats ass" is the single greatest line ever said on game grumps, thank the gods that it was put to record
Dan and Arin are always playing the most relevant and topical games.
Can't wait until they play happy wheels.
Bro I want Guts and Glory so bad.
still waiting and hoping for them to do FnaF: Security breach..
@@D44RK_Iced_YogsThey have a whole series of that
@@D44RK_Iced_Yogs I think they totally played some of that a while back. Dan angrily sang the Gummi Bears theme.
@@Archgeek0 that's the joke...
"What are you doing later tonight? IN CASE MY WIFE DIES."
*gets handed a The Pink Vice card* XD
"My family is sick and starving" *At the same time Arin playing this game slower than I've ever seen anyone play a game ever*
I can already foresee that they will be receiving a very specific ending in the next episode of this.
You can use the discrepancy detector more often, especially if you arent sure of something, such as the work pass stamp. Connect it with the valid stamps in your book. Its very helpful and just might be better than trying to scrutinize the details yourself.
I love Dan correcting Arin's pronunciation as if these are real countries.
Best advice I have is to get a separate screen or a tablet with a country guide so you don't have to flip through the book all the time. You guys could even have a division of labor between Arin and Dan, like Arin checks country and codes while Dan checks faces and names.
gods i want to watch them and sean play this game in the same room but Sean cannot have the controls. I just want to hear him screaming in the background "GREATEST COUNTRY MOTHER PROUD!!!"
For Dan: Veruka Salt fell down the garbage chute. Violet Bolregard turned into the blueberry "Violet! You're turning Violet, Violet"
Not me, scrolling the comments to see if anybody already made this correction
@@LethalLaurie they made the correction in the video, so i see someone else was in the comments before it came up xD
GLORY TO GAME GRUMPS!
As someone who has worked with both passports, and visas, it really does end up like that.
"Your paperwork doesn't match. I really don't give a fuck. Get out of my sight. I'm sick of hearing excuses."
Usually when I hear about the angry comments they talk about getting I'm like "lol how do they get so worked up?" But today was the day I felt like leaving multiple angry comments about how they don't know how to play the game haha
The one guy that keeps coming back and getting rejected reminds me of Tom Hanks in The Terminal. "Chance I go New York 50-50"
He's the Monologue Boy! He's the one who speeches!
I'm so glad they are continuing this. I love this game and Arin's unintended negligence makes it all the better as him and Dan chatter.
"I forgot how to do this..." - Arin the videfuckingame boy henson
“I forgot how to do this.” You know it’s gonna be good when an episode begins with _that_
Them not interrogating Vince Lestrade made my head explode 😐
I've never played this game, how do they interrogate him if there's no discrepancy in his papers?
@@djgucci528 Click on the newspaper you get at the start of every day and then his face.
you dont get to keep the news paper, its in the paper packet when you enter your booth, you gotta click on that and the name in his passport@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN
What about Dari Ludum
@@djgucci528when you're new to the game there's a lot of information to take in and I think that makes you forget about a lot of the functions in the game. You figure out later on how to keep all your documents in place and to remember to use essentially all of them to your advantage. I think most people need time to figure out how to use the fingerprints as well. Essentially, you need to match everything up and figure out what correlates.
I love that they made it a poem to Dan and also seeing Dan's expression facial expression that is
GameGrumps Lunch Break Chronicles, Day 73:
Ramen again today. Is it healthy? Nah. But we ball. 10/10.
Whatever fuels you, my friend. Have a good day!
Arin choosing to use the discrepancy detector seemingly at random is... fun
Glad to see them return to his series. I can’t wait to see Arin lose his mind when he has a bunch of things to check and not much time to do it 😂
Game grumps ads are the only ads I will watch cause they’re cute and delightful. That note at the beginning had me in stitches
Arin not inspecting stuff is gonna kill me
In two episdoes, Arin has done 20 years work experience at the DMV.
"Was there a way for me to stop that from happening?"
That's... that's your entire job in this game.
Seeing them continue this game gave me the same reaction as I would have if I got banana bread at work, dude
Hell yeah
Dan's aptitude at reading difficult names and Arin's inability to remember basic ones in front of him that he repeats incorrectly both amaze me.
it is not, in fact, veruca salt who eats the blueberry in willy wonka. 6:05
also, Violet did not eat a blueberry 🙄
@@KyloStimpyyeah like she turned into one !
Iirc, Veruca gets chair'd? Along with her dad or something
I don't get how bots reposting real peoples comments gets higher than the original comment :(
@@blakewhite3131 Other bots upvoting the bot comment so it gets to the top of the comments.
Just watched Part 1 for the first time and was immediately sad realising it was a one off, then you uploaded this! So happy!
I love the ads these guys do, Dan's poem reaction bit at the beginning was hilarious
