I wish I had a cool friend to play this game with and comment on it and crack jokes like these two guys. I had to play it by myself and have inner dialogues with myself about how cool this game is, like a crazy person. Cruel fate.
My roommate used to come in my room and watch me play games sometimes. It was the best. The rest of the time, I'm just talking to myself in my head or out loud
Huh. A ninja game. If only they knew a practicing parishioner of ninjitsu to have given their highly qualified, some might even say, doctoral, review of this game.
This game really deserves and needs the exposure. Last I heard, even though The Messenger received many positive reviews, its sales were particularly low for an indie game on Switch, which is a real shame. This game is super fun, creative, challenging and witty, and anyone with a love of call-back platformers like this should play it. And if you are interested, I'd recommend simply buying it and not watching any trailers or gameplay videos beyond the early game, as they may spoil the game's most important mechanic. Hell, the game even makes a joke itself about that mechanic being spoiled in the trailer.
Why is it that literally no one I know could relate to my bathroom habits but then Arin comes in and just absolutely justified my habits as natural, what is this weird sense of relation with him I feel right now?
If you will make this a series and not just a single episode PLEASE talk chat more with the shop keeper cuz half of this game's humor is mainly in the conversations with him
meta humour, talking about random stories with weird morals, sassing the protag and being kind of a hilarious dick. also hilarity happens if you keep trying to open the cabinet in near him : 3

Recently thought I was nearing the end of this game and then there was a twist and the skill tree was expanded, I was given a map, everything changed. This game is *phenomenal*.
Hey Grumps! Just wanted to share some sound knowledge. :P The water effect is a low pass filter because all the lows(frequencies), "pass". It's sometimes called a high cut filter since it cuts the hi's and all you hear are the lows. A high pass filter would cut out the lows so it would be a more thin kind of sound like you would hear from a smaller speaker or telephone.
I would have loved it if all 4 of that giant-ass demon’s heads all had their own individual personalities and dialogue. And the four of them are constantly arguing or something.
Probably about the best type of sandwich... "Cheesesteak! It'sthe most delicious!" "PB and J! It has the kind of nostalgic charm." "Italian Hoagie! I'm a head if many cultures!" "Nutella! Tastes like Chocolate!" 3 heads: "SHUT UP PAUL!"
Aw! You guys need to make this an actual series! Jirard is totally in love with it, and he's right, it totally scribbly dippin' rips the tips of all the pips and the tips! It spips, sporps, purps, and floogles!
Aw man I wish it was a full playthrough. Playing through this game I couldn’t help but think it’s perfect for Game Grumps so I came to check if you had played it
This game actually does look super fun. I know the whole retro style look is more common for games and not so much a novelty anymore, but I still love it. Pixel art and 8/16-bit music makes me very happy... Thanks for the episode, Grumps!
its not just a history lesson its also a meeting of the board members for the international cranberry associations of america (icaa) did i ever tell you how much the western hero like's cranberrys i mean he really likes cranberrys he's also a palm tree named ted my feet are cold is it 3 yet i miss my grandson i think ahh cranberrys
I'm so happy you guys are playing this game! :D please continue this as a series! Also if you really want a good laugh throughout the game, chat with the shopkeeper you won't regret it.
Arins been mentioning bloodborne so much as of late. And yet we aren’t getting any episodes of Dark Souls 3 The Ringed City? Find Arin in Yharnam and force him back into Lothric.
They wouldn't last half an hour. The game isn't difficult, but it does require attention and skill. Maybe if Arin played it off of the show, but then the improv loses its spontaneity.
This game looks so great. And I feel like you and Dan actually seeming to really be into the game, in a way you can't really fake, makes it a lot more appealing to me to watch than some game you're not as into.
If you play this again, remember to chat to the shopkeeper. You won’t regret it, it’s funny as shit. The banter between him and the Messenger is legit the best
Really Arin, kelly? Lmao I guess I'm now a ninja 😄 Update: I like to apologize to GG and everyone else on not being ready to be a ninja , of i knew I was going to get up and be a ninja today i would had my shit together and I'm sorry about that .😉
Can this please come back for a series and this not be forgotten. And have Darnold and Daniel Son read shopkeeper dialogue. I wish we could make a poll. Like this
The game grumps style works well with one offs, consider how long recording sessions are, If you can't tell unless Arin is really into the game he loses interest and since he plays most of the time do you really want episode after episode of lack luster gameplay with poor Dan doing his best to keep it entertaining?
@@Atypical-Abbie Animal day, my wedding anniversary, my birthday, my pet's birthday are all in October but as far as I'm concerned, October is HALLOWEEN MONTH ♥ Now go gimme dem Ghoul Grumps ~
That moment when Danny dropped the phrase "dad shits ", I legit broke down! Reminded me of something a mate of mine came up with: the "daddy piss". That first piss in a morning which is like a constant jet for literally 2+ mins then suddenly shuts off.
I hope that they make this a series! I know it would slow down the game a little, but I bet Dan would love the conversations with the Shop Keeper, it was definitely some of my favorite parts. I don't know if Devolver was the creator or just the pub, but I don't think they would have an issue with any of the conversations going on. I honestly just want to watch Dan and Arin react to Devolver's past two E3 presentations, they were definitely something special.
Thank you Matt and Ryan for our perfect hour late upload. You truly are the kings of consistently being inconsistent. Right next to doctor Jekyll and two face!
Haha thanks a lot guys. That was hilarious. Don’t hesitate to play again, The Messenger has a LOT of surprises in store for you to make fun with. 💕
Merci papa
Oh dang!
So did your smile slowly fade away at the 11 minute mark?
MrTheratedG No, by that time I was starting wiping tears of my face from laughing so much.
Can we rip shits while playing?
I hope they quote Arin for game reviews
"This game rips shit" -Arin Hanson
Leo D Hold my beer
"This game rips shit" -Arin Hanson, like 6 times
Time to go write a steam review...
It'll be on his grave stone in Grubba voice
"It' scramples dips!" - Arin Hanson
-Hey Billy what was your favorite Game Grumps episode?
-I really like the one where Arin talked about his shits for a looooong time
_So, Alllllll of them?_
Thats basically every 3rd episode of EVERY series...
Hey Billy, your surgery is today right?
so eeeeevery episode of Game Grumps
are you new here or something?
"Wow, they're playing The Messenger! I'm so excited!"
*Arin leaves without talking to the Shopkeeper"
"THIS PLAYTHROUGH IS DEAD!"
I wish I had a cool friend to play this game with and comment on it and crack jokes like these two guys. I had to play it by myself and have inner dialogues with myself about how cool this game is, like a crazy person. Cruel fate.
Nah just turn on a webcam and then you're a streamer.
If you record it and upload it to youtube you'll be known as a Let's Player.
My roommate used to come in my room and watch me play games sometimes. It was the best. The rest of the time, I'm just talking to myself in my head or out loud
I feel this. Same.
The people that have friends to play this with: cries is covid-19
Huh. A ninja game. If only they knew a practicing parishioner of ninjitsu to have given their highly qualified, some might even say, doctoral, review of this game.

IT REALLY DOES RIP SHIT. played it recently. Came back
They Kickstarted a prequel, and I think they made all their stretch goals. Also, Yasunori Mitsuda volunteered to help compose the music!
*Sits patiently waiting for Ghoul Grumps 2018 to start*
Its already started for me lol I'm watching the old ones and getting pumped for the next!! Halloween week with the grumps!!
GHOUL GRUMPS! BLEEEH! 🦇👻💀
I hope they play silent hill again ...
Wait, they play silent hill games during the holidays right?
Sometimes, I rip the shit.
Sometimes the shit rips you... you may now address me as crater butt
Then you will just have to wipe extra.
My thoughts instantly went to Letterkenny when I heard that
I rip shits every day. And sometimes I shit rips.
Well, my daddy taught me how not to rip the shit, use somebody else’s, steady your own hand
Why is it that literally no one I know could relate to my bathroom habits but then Arin comes in and just absolutely justified my habits as natural, what is this weird sense of relation with him I feel right now?
I have never related more to Arin than the poop talk in this video
It's so relieving to know others understand.
Arin "Dad Shits" Hanson
Oh bro fuckin totally feel the poop in this
Honestly same
Word for word
If dan wants to play a massaging game then he should 100% play mr massagy
Boooo!
Massaging Kid Trilogy
Danny could touch me with his manly hands and sentient thumbs anytime...
Or Senran Kagura Reflections!
Wax on, whacks off
If you will make this a series and not just a single episode PLEASE talk chat more with the shop keeper cuz half of this game's humor is mainly in the conversations with him
Can I assume it'll be a shit load of meta humor?
meta humour, talking about random stories with weird morals, sassing the protag and being kind of a hilarious dick.
also hilarity happens if you keep trying to open the cabinet in near him : 3
You NEED to talk to The Shopkeeper! His personality, stories, and the banter with The Messenger are absolutely amazing! 😂
Game was made in Quebec by Sabotage studio they're awesome!
4:24 So that's what happened to Dan's son...
Ha ha that's funny! 😂
He used to love Overwatch.
*message in a bottle plays*
SENDING OUT AN SOS
SENDING OUT AN SOS
SENDING OUT AN SOS
SENDING OUT AN SOS
SENDING OUT AN SOS
SENDING OUT AN SOS
SENDING OUT AN SOS
SENDING OUT AN SOS
Then genie in a bottle plays
The police knew how to rock it
Then Time in a Bottle plays
anyone else sing this comment in there head lol
Recently thought I was nearing the end of this game and then there was a twist and the skill tree was expanded, I was given a map, everything changed. This game is *phenomenal*.
Oh... I really want this to be a series. Let's Game It Out did great run of this featuring Ninja Bobby and I wish I could see them finish it too.
This game . . . . The soundtrack, the platforming, the bosses, the secrets. So fucking awesome
IT RIPS SHIT
Hahahaha. "As the most capable/only non corpse, you get a job"
It's a crying shame they didn't play more of this.
Lol I love when they read different colored words with extra inflection.
DEMON army lmao

I would have loved it if all 4 of that giant-ass demon’s heads all had their own individual personalities and dialogue. And the four of them are constantly arguing or something.
That reminds me of the hewdraw heads in Kid Icarus Uprising.
Probably about the best type of sandwich...
"Cheesesteak! It'sthe most delicious!"
"PB and J! It has the kind of nostalgic charm."
"Italian Hoagie! I'm a head if many cultures!"
"Nutella! Tastes like Chocolate!"
3 heads: "SHUT UP PAUL!"
Reminds me of the three-headed dude in Monty Python and the Holy Grail
and whichever one is speaking snatches up the one crown and puts it on.
Funny thing is, I actually _was_ thinking about both Kid Icarus’s Hewdraw and Monty Python’s three headed guy when I wrote that
Aw! You guys need to make this an actual series! Jirard is totally in love with it, and he's right, it totally scribbly dippin' rips the tips of all the pips and the tips! It spips, sporps, purps, and floogles!
They should of called the ninja brian.
What do you mean? He was CLEARLY there the entire time!
passthetoiletpaper 👏👏👏 wow why to go, you corrected one person’s grammar on the internet. Congrats
Should have*
@@MariTheOwl way to go* you also just got grammar'ed.
Grammar-man strikes again!
They could have called this game Ninja Brian, and no one would have argued with you.
This was legitimately fun to watch. I wish they'd keep going with it, I'd watch a full let's play.
"I'm almost done on my playthrough of the game." [ Moments Later ] "...I think there's a boss." LOL.
But that was for funsies, not monsies.
They need to play more of this, they haven't even SCRATCHED the surface of this game. And i guarantee Danny will love it
Please do mooorrrrreee!!!! I love this game!
Aw man I wish it was a full playthrough. Playing through this game I couldn’t help but think it’s perfect for Game Grumps so I came to check if you had played it
The Western Hero is John Wayne as played by Patrick Warburton.
I love tired Grumps so much. The dumb, goofy, sometimes poop-related discussions are the funniest. Never stop being you, guys!
Uhhhh, is this a Rick and Morty bit? WHAT UP MY GLIP GLOPS!?
This game actually does look super fun. I know the whole retro style look is more common for games and not so much a novelty anymore, but I still love it. Pixel art and 8/16-bit music makes me very happy...
Thanks for the episode, Grumps!
its not just a history lesson its also a meeting of the board members for the international cranberry associations of america (icaa) did i ever tell you how much the western hero like's cranberrys i mean he really likes cranberrys he's also a palm tree named ted my feet are cold is it 3 yet i miss my grandson i think ahh cranberrys
This conversation was so natural. I loved it.
"This game rips the shit!!!"
And they never played the awesome game again...
I'm so happy you guys are playing this game! :D please continue this as a series! Also if you really want a good laugh throughout the game, chat with the shopkeeper you won't regret it.
Dude, this game *_shaaaarts._*
when they said "dope" and "aw my bad" was a reference to the SNL skits featuring Chad. probably some of the best snl skits
I need to buy this game eventually
I know the people that made this game! It comes from my neck of the woods in Quebec City Canada! I am so glad you guys played it!
Do you guys ever think you'll ever finish the game? It's incredible
I love the way Arin and Danny get along ! So chill & funny.
I'd like to see a full playthrough of this
This episode deserves more views. It makes me smile every time :)
There's been so many one off episodes lately...PEOPLE, Start watching more so they make more episodes.
What was a "One off" again?
@@Alphajet101 it means they only make one episode of the game. You can usually tell because the episode isnt numbered, like "part 1" or whatever
idk, I enjoy one offs as much as series
@@IHeartDrawingStuff IKR!
Don't tell me what to do. You're not the boss of me.
Please finish this! I super enjoy it! I hope this reaches the Grump Team!
pls read the shopkeeper's quotes, they're really good
This deserves to be a series.
Arins been mentioning bloodborne so much as of late. And yet we aren’t getting any episodes of Dark Souls 3 The Ringed City? Find Arin in Yharnam and force him back into Lothric.
That could be difficult. The legends say he's long been lost amidst the yarn. And the ham.
I'm so glad you're playing this game. I loved it. It truly scramples dips. Please keep playing!
I would love to see them play Hollow Knight
Yes, honestly, I would too. It would only be slightly more infuriating than the actual game.
For just a couple episodes, any more than that would be nerve wrecking lol
They wouldn't last half an hour. The game isn't difficult, but it does require attention and skill. Maybe if Arin played it off of the show, but then the improv loses its spontaneity.
haha they got 4 episodes in. They don't play good games for long
I love that Danny is also a Fraggle Rock fan. That shit was my jam back in the day.
Got scared there for a sec
Why?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play more of this. It's such an amazing game
I'm guessing they had an issue uploading episode 4 of Kirby and posted a one off instead
Maybe they switched it around and Kirby is the later video.
They said on the first episode of Kirby that they played the messenger, this one off was planned
you must be new to gamegrumps this is a pretty common thng
Ended up buying this recently thanks to the boys doing this one shot. Absolutely recommend it, and hope they play more of it.
Please for the love of anything FINISH IT
This game looks so great. And I feel like you and Dan actually seeming to really be into the game, in a way you can't really fake, makes it a lot more appealing to me to watch than some game you're not as into.
...Bu bu bu bu but.
_What about Kirby?_
Are you having some kind of seizure, memory loss or an existential crisis?
Chris East
All three
You pour pink blob of doom, should I call someone?
If you play this again, remember to chat to the shopkeeper. You won’t regret it, it’s funny as shit. The banter between him and the Messenger is legit the best
UA-cam says they're playing Shovel Knight....
SpIdAgRaY it bothers me so much omg
So proud a game made by an Indie studio of my Hometown made it to Game Grumps!! Good Job Sabotage Studio, fantastic game!! :D
"This game rips shit!"
Does that mean it's good or bad? I'm not really sure...
Well, following Letterkenny logic, its good.
Seeing as he has 22 hours in this game. I'd say he thinks it's good.
dude, this game dippin rips
16:11 Arin is definitely thinking of Sweetums from The Muppets
The messenger comes through rain or snow, through hail or glue, the messenger comes... to deliver... sandwiches?
Man, I really want them to come back and beat this game. There's so many awesome moments in here that I'd love to see their reactions to
Please play Zone Of the Enders.
16:02 - wow, he nailed every note of that.
Really Arin, kelly? Lmao I guess I'm now a ninja 😄
Update: I like to apologize to GG and everyone else on not being ready to be a ninja , of i knew I was going to get up and be a ninja today i would had my shit together and I'm sorry about that .😉
Can this please come back for a series and this not be forgotten. And have Darnold and Daniel Son read shopkeeper dialogue. I wish we could make a poll. Like this
Real ninja wear blue.
True, a very dark blue, as black shows up against the night sky.
@@Archgeek0 against most backgrounds actually
This is literally all you played of this game!? WHAT THE HELL!?
i love gamegrumps but..
we want a long-running series too many one-offs
whos this we you speak of?
Speak for yourself
Ew gross, one-offs are amazing
The game grumps style works well with one offs, consider how long recording sessions are, If you can't tell unless Arin is really into the game he loses interest and since he plays most of the time do you really want episode after episode of lack luster gameplay with poor Dan doing his best to keep it entertaining?
ok jesus i just mean i like the longer series like zelda games or mario or something like that but whatever
This is such a phenomenal game didn't know y'all started it
Hoi!!! When we gonna get more scary games?!
When it's bloody Halloween, stop making October Halloween month, it got so much other stuff going for it, like...stuff.
That stuff... Ya know... The...... Stuff
@@Atypical-Abbie Animal day, my wedding anniversary, my birthday, my pet's birthday are all in October but as far as I'm concerned, October is HALLOWEEN MONTH ♥ Now go gimme dem Ghoul Grumps ~
10:44 It's called a dynamic soundtrack when the music changes depending on what you're doing and where you are.
Can you guys play Super Mario Party please?
They did:) they revealed it in the latest livestream:) it should probably be showing up soon!
"I feel like you've been taking dad shits since you were like 5 years old"
is my new favorite Dan quote
Hey Arin, if that save file in the beginning is yours, I have some news. You are not even close to the end of the game.
yep silly arin : 3
Please make this a series! Between this and Megaman, it's been refreshing seeing Arin playing games he actually enjoys again.
I was about to unsubscribe if they didn't upload soon. That'd show em
Brilliant, they'd never see it coming!
WHO’S LAUGHING NOW!?!
I still think you should.
Yah then you would have had to manually find the late episode, that will show them.
Jarl Balgruuf yeah that would sure show them. Nobody wants the Jarl unsubbing from them.
And then the Grumps randomly use your name as a character name and it just makes your day so much better.
Close Arin, thankfully it's easy to remember. A "high"pass filter lets high frequencies pass through, the effect here is a "low"pass filter.
Pretty sure it's either a bandpass or a lowpass filter with some slight steteo seperation on the underwater effect, such a nice touch
why isn't this a series yet?!
I like how they basically just started adventure time style complementing the game.
That moment when Danny dropped the phrase "dad shits ", I legit broke down! Reminded me of something a mate of mine came up with: the "daddy piss". That first piss in a morning which is like a constant jet for literally 2+ mins then suddenly shuts off.
I hope that they make this a series! I know it would slow down the game a little, but I bet Dan would love the conversations with the Shop Keeper, it was definitely some of my favorite parts. I don't know if Devolver was the creator or just the pub, but I don't think they would have an issue with any of the conversations going on. I honestly just want to watch Dan and Arin react to Devolver's past two E3 presentations, they were definitely something special.
That's my new mantra for life, "Doin it for the funzies, Doin it for the munzies!"
Oh my god PLEASE make this a series this was so funny
I'm glad I'm not the only one who experienced dumps like that. Always worried about that second wind of dumps.
it does look really good and wouldn't have heard about without this episode, well done.
Thanks to Girlchan in Paradise anytime a character in a game says "what is this place" I always hear it in Ken Star's voice.
Come back to this amazing game!!!
Thank you Matt and Ryan for our perfect hour late upload. You truly are the kings of consistently being inconsistent. Right next to doctor Jekyll and two face!
Demon King: "AND WHO MIGHT YOU BE?"
Kelly: "Kelly..." *in Grubba voice*
