Dan: *Reciting his favorite poem that inspired his favorite song by his favorite band*
Arin: “Gee, you sure do remember useless things”
Dan: *UTTER DEVASTATION*
"Why do you remember useless things" he said, his brain full of the exact stats of MtG cards
I think it may have inspired bits of the Fallen London series, too. Sunless Sea, anyone?
that hurt
@@SableGearI mean, who doesn’t know the stats of every mtg card?lol
Dan- I watched Speed Racer...pretty mid.
"You can only get good at chess if you love the game." Grandmaster Bobby Fischer
"I hate chess. I hate chess. I hate chess." Bobby Fischer
Brilliant.
Even better, the second one was *_World Champion_*_ Bobby Fischer._
I suppose no one's actually good at chess, eh?
It also sounded like a conversation between Dan and Arin during a chess game
I think he meant normal people who don't punish themselves psychologically
Clearly the meaning is, "You can only get GOOD at chess if you love game, but can only master the game if you hate it.". XD
@@BeaverBall7 hey buddy, yeah thats awful, but no one is referring to bobby fischer in a good light, its just a funny quote they put in a video game. calm down.
I love that Dan and Arin both thought Chopra’s quantum-babble sounded good on the power of how his name feels to them. It really is a microcosm of how scammers get away with bullshit
For anyone aware, Deepak Chopra is a conman spouting utter nonsense, with a quantum mysticism cult behind him
One hundred percent
Having known about Chopra's schtick of nonsense "knowledge," i would definitely rather trust Ralph Chuggs
@@godspeed-unicorn agreed, Ralph really knows his stuff
as I was watching this video, I had to pause as soon as chopra was mentioned to check if anyone in the comments called him out as a scam artist and I was not disappointed
That ornate mystery box ceremoniously opening to reveal the kids menu really got me. Also the art puzzle with the critic giving vague unhelpful directions that you actually have to follow is so creative and brilliant.
"Oh were we talking over this guy? Sorry about that guys." PROCEEDS TO DO IT EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE
I really hope they finish this. The ending payoff is worth it.
Sadly, we'll never get to see that.
They stopped at about 15 minutes from the end and didn't tack the rest of it to the end of this episode, so they didn't finish it during that session.
The ending's pretty good, but not enough to warrant bringing the game back at a later time for a short episode.
@@majorgnu It's game grumps. Do you really think it will only take them 15 minutes? 😂
Knowing them they'll never finish this
This is Game Grumps you're talking about. They don't know how to finish games, if the views aren't enough for them, they'll just automatically assume that no ones wants to see them play this anymore and they just give up and move on to the next. Or if Arin is bored of the game, he'll just say "fuck it" and make it a one off thing. It's a common theme with them and it sucks.
@@MichaelKinyon Sigh, sad but true
The juxtapositionposition between Jacksepticeye finding and using the creative ways the game wants you to think and Arin who just scribbles everything over to brute force the puzzles is unbelievable :')
Edit: I'm an idiot Iwas thinking of Jack, not Markiplier -.-''
If a puzzle can be solved by brute forcing, then brute forcing is a viable way to solve the puzzle.
I don’t think Markiplier ever played this game can’t find it on UA-cam
When did mark play this?
I think you mean juxtaposition
@@gazman1046 @InvaderZim32097 You're right, I totally thought of another guy!
1:18, he mentions living with Barry. I miss Barry being on Game Grumps. The whole joke of him never talking. And then we he did start talking, he was the straight man for all the insanity around him. Different time.
And he was good at games.
I miss Barry too. Hope he's doing good, feels like he dropped off the face of the earth
@@thelastwindwaker7948 Acknowledge me
@@Britbaby961 Acknowledge me
@@Britbaby961 Go watch his channel BarryIsStreaming, and for VoDs and compilations of his streams. BarryWasStreaming
_"The whole point of the game is figuring it out",_ said Arin while scribbling the whole board hoping to get an accidental correct answer, which then he does.
27:30 - I like how Arin did every possible combination except for the correct one.
omg right. every possibility, some multiple times, EXCEPT the right one!
Now I remember why I stopped watching game grumps...
@@Zephle Their commentary on many games is entertaining, if off-topic... but good lord it's painful to watch them complete puzzles
23:21 killed me, I'm a fifteen minute drive from a diner called Stormin Norman's Shipfaced Saloon . my town is landlocked
Does it have anything to do with Norman Schwarzkopf?
@@hrodga whoa that's a good question.... i may have to patronize the diner and find out!!!!!!!!
There was a staircase right next to the canons, on the right side. Arin passes it twice, then runs aaaaaaallll the way back to the beginning. When he finally goes back, he still doesn't notice the staircase. Just me screaming about it at him all through the latter part of the episode. 🤣🤣😭😭
Watching them play these types of game is an act of sadism. Theyre never paying enough attention.
For those curious, this path (unlocked via sinking the ships) eventually unlocks a shortcut back to the main area/big chess board & lights up another cable iirc.
@@ultrasparrow Its like showing someone a great movie, and they seem restless and talk all through the dialogue and then when something really interesting happens they have no clue whats actually happening because they havent paid attention to much. they have sat in front of it sure, but not really engaged with it.
Arin made a genuinely disappointed sound when the game wouldn't let him change the color with the paint palette and honestly same! It should have
It was intentional
My head canon is that the Danny and Arnold planned to actually have the right places in the background but got trolled by the editors
Acknowledge me!!!
The fuck is Arnold? 🤣
@@jarrodhahn8646 Acknowledge me
The second I saw “Danny and Arnold” I read it in an Obama voice😭😂😂. Hope I wasn’t the only one
@@thatguybrian3619 me too lmao " *Danny&Arnold* "
7:48 "You're right there, I mean, beep. **sad beep** Beep, come on, beep! " I love that someone who sounds exactly like JoCat is acting like an exit detector who breaks out of character when they get frustrated 😂
Arin keeps checking that device he's supposed to power up, but instead of following the cables he just bolts in an arbitrary direction hoping to randomly run into the puzzles in the right order. Classic video game boy.
"I'm about to drop an OCDiss track" really got me holy shit
Not the OCDizzle
Y'all are half way done! I really hope they finish this game because I can't think of two dudes more worthy to glance upon the obelisk of knowledge.
arin and dan not paying attention to things and then being flabbergasted that they dont know the puzzle never gets old
As someone traumatized by the jump-scare maze game when I was a kid, every time they had to draw on a maze I got SO unreasonably nervous lol
I kept thinking about that maze throughout this episode too.
Arin: "I hate standard boring, overbearing tutorials."
This game: *Shows you what to do in a unique way*
Arin: *Cares not*
"Cares not" sent me 😂😂😂
To be fair, I guess it kept his attention long enough for him to do it lol
This game is such a labor of love, since it is such a spot-on parody of The Witness while also having real interesting and thoughtful puzzles. It has a great sense of humor about everything while also still having a sort of internal "logic". Im almost a little dissapointed that the humor of the game is lost a little from them talking over it. I think they would like the jokes a lot.
My favorites are the philosophical recordings that are way too fluffy and obscure to actually be meaningful
@@oliveb5768 the best is the one that starts with what SOUNDS like a poem but quickly becomes a car commercial
I spent the entire time waiting with baited breath for them to reach the symbol puzzle in the hedge maze knowing it would stump them, and the boys did not disappoint. Arin running around looking for hints, when the hints were the puzzles he just solved and didn't pay any attention to. It's almost like... a mini tutorial where the game teaches you what to do via level design instead of just slapping a tutorial on screen! _starts having Sequelitis flashbacks_
For those who are curious, the actual puzzle solution is based on the number of sides each symbol has. You have to draw a line from least sides to most sides. So for the one he got stuck on, it goes triangle (3 sides) then arrow (4) then hourglass (6).
Thanks for explaining bc I also didn't pay attention and had no idea lmao
The Witness is all about inferring the rules of the game by experimenting with increasingly complex puzzles.
If there's something you can really tell from this video is that neither of them played it.
I was losing my MIND, ITS SUCH AN EASY PUZZLE, and they just brute forced. Even worse was brute forcing the Stop No Entry sign. It was like Arin brute forcing the apple puzzle in Superluminal. Why would you think it's not a perspective based answer!?
like do you treat your friends like this or what jesus christ
@@TylerMann If a puzzle can be solved by brute forcing, then brute forcing is a viable way to solve the puzzle.
"It's gonna get harder."
"It's already hard, you don't know what to do now."
"....I guess you're right."
I want to listen to Danny recite poetry forever 🥺
NSP is pure poetry
@@magicalsleeper true!!!!
Dragon Slayer, baby 💖
There’s that tone of voice Arin gets when he knows shits gotta get crazy/scary and doesn’t want to tell him lol
Hearing Danny recite Rush lyrics and Arin goes "why do you remember useless shit?" my feelings... Quick, Danny, rattle off all the Rush albums and release year!
Arin: I don't see how this game is a parody.
Also Arin: *Misses most of the funny stuff hidden in the starting area*
The video game boi strikes again.
They do need to finish this, if only because the end is absolutely made for them.
Them just point at random locations and getting them almost all wrong is my favorite
ACKNOWLEDGE ME
@@DanielDeLeon69 YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGED
Dan: reciting Kublai Khan
Me: That's Hot
Arin: Why do you remember useless things?
Me: Because it's Hot, jeez Arin.
For real though. There's all these jokes about reading poetry for someone being sappy romance bull, but for some people it WORKS.
Not to mention it’s part of a Rush song
Man, this game really is a masterpiece from S to E
Please finish this game!! You're so close and I'd love to see how you react to the final puzzle
22:13 the PALPABLE silence followed by the garbled "doo aih need too brrring ahp hidler"
2:30
Dan: So you can’t touch the sides?
Arin: If you touch the sides you LOSE
In that exact moment the trauma of that scary maze game from the 2000’s came back and I decided to hide in the comments just in case
Acknowledge me
Sorry you got your comment stolen :(
@@fibee622 it’s all good man. It be like that sometimes. Bots are crazy these days
glad i found the og giving you the like instead of the bot.
@@Kierbear101 Yeah, there's a fuckton of bots in the comment section today. Weird.
Even as a parody this has some brilliance to it. It's also much more their level which is nice
It honestly kills me how often they're just like "Nah, we're definitely not doing more with this" during the actual recording rather than after research.
27:27 The hint was in the previous puzzles from that same book: you were supposed to go through the symbols according to the number of sides each symbol has (in an increasing order).
i need to see more of danny playing sierra games he’s best at solving puzzles alone or with brian.
Man, I'd totally listen to an anthology of Danny's favorite poetry if he were to narrate it. Speaking of, I'd listen to Danny reading The Last Unicorn. He's got such a soothing voice
15:55
I was hoping one of them would say Piano Reeves after the way Arin pronounced piano
SAME
i love how the captions start with the normal "hey im grump" and normal commentary while they're doing the tour stuff
Sometimes I forget how international the boys are.
Acknowledge me
"I don't know Deepak Chopra, but the name sounds like someone who knows what they're talking about."
He doesn't, don't worry about it.
Arrin dunking on Dan for being cultured is hilarious.
I like the idea that part of Dan's OCD is referring to the disorder as his "OC Dizzle" regardless of context.
Please continue this. And definitely keep up with the audio logs; that shit gets mental the longer the game goes on, and I love it.
I love how much danny knows, hes such a beautiful soul
I want them to see the end of this game, it’s so worth it. Please do another episode
I just wanna say I love your silly "Ads" for your other shows. They're funny in their own GG way and I never want to skip them
I'm surprised Ninja Brian didn't assassinate Danny right there when he said Deepak Chopra "knows what he's talking about".
i really want another episode of this
Acknowledge me
You likely won't get another episode of this
You can tell Dan really did use to have OCD since his joke about having to say "yo" 30 times before the diss track starts is painfully similar to me having to pull on my car door handle 8-16 times exactly to make sure it's locked
12:21 For the record the actual solution was to draw a line from the S in Stop the E in Come. S-----E same solution to every puzzle pretty much ;)
Also the 'Understanding' S and E.
25:40 that's the point where I would be nervous because that statue looks like a weeping angel at the stage before the sharp teeth come out and they go rawr
Really annoys me when they don't get the book puzzle is simply ascending order and you probably have to do it without making a mistake. Which is why there's a restart button. I've never played this though so I could be wrong but it feels right.
It's a rule book, there's another puzzle with all the symbols involved, the restart is there for review
23:20 the kids menu was totally unexpected lol
man I was kind of excited that I thought it was The Witness, but The Looker's really up GG's alley of games they can play
Dan quoting poetry while Erin stumbles ineptly through each puzzle is exactly what I needed right now. Very refreshing but also incredibly frustrating.
“It matter for my OCDizzle” as someone w OCDizzle I will be using this phrase moving forward
game: kublai khan
me, immediately: omg the poem that inspired one of my favorite songs by my all-time favorite band
danny: thats my favorite poem that inspired one of my favorite songs by my favorite band
arin: "why do you remember useless things"
...so does anyone know of a hitman that accepts like Amazon Pay or smth
im hard for cash but this man just dishonored my whole family INCLUDING my cow
i can draw their fursona
“Why do you remember useless things” arin really just called me out like that 😭
Arin who knows tons of video game trivia: "Why do you remember useless things."
Personally, I would have loved to hear the recitation of the poem.
really hope they listen to all the voiceboxes and the two hint buttons. those are what make this game truly great.
God, scrolling through some of their more recent uploads feels like a Buzzfeed article:
"14 games you won't BELIEVE exist! (number 11 nearly broke our brains)"
I know these are recorded way in advance so they couldn't have known but that "Should I bring up Hitler?" Bit has aged beautifully thanks to Kayne
That shit made me chortle
the subtitles at the start don't have the ad for their tour it just goes straight into the music intro
11:31
I'm calling it; trace the S in STOP to the E in COME. Not the first time they looked at this puzzle, but there WAS a maze earlier that simply connected S to E.
I thought for a moment that this was going to turn into a scary game after the door with the 'stop' sign.
It tried.
@@GreatWightSpark Parody
I feel like Arin SEES in like.... 75 FOV or 480p resolution because... there is so much stuff that he just didn't see that were partially away from the center of the screen
This is like that gravity falls episode where Mabel's goofoffery ends up solving the shoddy da vinci code mystery.
I expected that ship story to turn into the thing about 'if all the parts are replaced, is it the same ship' but it went somewhere else
Video stopped to buffer during the ad, making it look like Dan forgot his line.
Have they played a game EXACTLY like this before? I swear I remember them playing this game, I expected them to come to that realization at any moment.
ooh was it a game where each stage was a room and arin had to solve puzzles in it? the name escapes me but i remember it too
Please continue the game its so good, the ending is incredible.
The closed caption isn't taking into consideration the ad in the beginning so its off. At first I thought it was a bit, but nope! Thought I'd say something. Love the episode, love you guys!
10:09 Oh my god, I'm so glad this video was released after I had to read Invisible Cities for school. This joke made me laugh so much.
Kudos to the editor for knowing PRECISELY what the commentariat would shriek about re: the narrator.
OMG. If they don't finish this one I'll be so sad.
This, legit, looks like much more fun than the actual game. I got stuck on the tutorial and was bored by how stupid I am. This is much more satisfying.
the puzzle to the "stop do not come in" sign is that youre meant to connect the s and the e (start and end, Stop and comE)
i always forget danny has OCDizzle
Acknowledge me
Arin trashing Dan's genuine interests actually hurt my soul
The Disneyland video was amazing Arin literally crying like a 3 year old on the kiddy rides made my day
As someone diagnosed with OCD, I will 1000% make "O C Dizzle" a part of my vocabulary
Where's Harvester? I'm dying over heeeeeeere. Also, Ohw ☹️, hearing Danny so sad after A- A- Rin was schmidting on his favourite poem made me a little sad lol. 😂
I should have realized literally every parody game is a horror spinoff
I wish they'd finish this game. They've done about 80% of it, and I think Arin will appreciate the final puzzle before the credits. In fact, I think the only puzzles left that could trip them up are "Snék" and the puzzle to get into the tower by the telescope.
The closed captions don’t include their tour announcement in the beginning if anyone sees this that can fix it :)
I hope they continue this.
Im pretty sure the CC on this video are not correct on this video and as someone who cant hear great this really sucks. Im not sure if you can fix this but if you see this maybe look into it to help people who really need the CC.
Dan had a cheeky Guybrush Threepwood reference with the cannon firing
21:50-22:20 killed me
The looker is Great. Look into finishing giraffe town
Acknowledge me
@@DanielDeLeon69 acknowledged
I'm waiting for Arin to still get confused somehow
ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!
This is Arin not confused?!?!
Just wanted to let y’all know that the CC ‘s timing is off since the gameplay cc starts at the ad in the beginning. 0:00
10:40 Dan is struck down by the gamer Arin for appreciating the finer things in life
I was thinking during the Chopra quote that it sounded fucking stupid, then they attributed it and it all made sense. Depak Chopra does not know what he's talking about Dan, ask Brian about him and he'll explain more thoroughly than i could
Gotta love how they accepted the quantum-babble on the strength of Chopra’s name sounding smart to them
I really hope they finish this game. The payoff at the end is well worth it!
The captions start with "Hey I'm Grump" at the start of the tour ad in the beginning, so they're almost a minute ahead.
Now that I know that Dan is a fan of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, I demand a full recital of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in the next episode.
