Y'all were in Germany just after my friend in Germany had come to Dallas to help me pack & move, AND y'all were in Dallas just after we left to get back to Germany, and now you're in Dallas AGAIN? Please come back to Germany I can't believe I've narrowly missed the chance to see you guys three times now

Him doing this feels like Dan just didn't like the game and wanted to just get this episode out of the way. I normally like Dan. This just made me dislike this episode.
@@Bandlover2564 People like different things, and this game isn't everyone's cup of tea. He was bored and thought viewers would also be bored. There are different ways to enjoy things--nothing wrong with that.
13:06 I love how Dan gives into those gremlin thoughts, "Do it, you know you want to, just give him a little love tap, take him out." 🤣 Arin's, "What? No." is so funny
Makes you wonder how much Dan has to fight the intrusive thoughts when he drives irl. Just constantly wanting to drive off the road and smash into random pedestrians.
As a Colorado native, this brings infinite joy. And it's hilarious that they picked the yellow and brown nothingness in eastern Colorado over driving past the mountains to Colorado Springs
As a truck driver myself, SWIFT has so many versions, but my favorite one is See What I’ll Fuck up Today. The controls and what you can see out your windows and side mirrors in this game is pretty spot on.
As a Denver native, it makes me so happy to see the boys traverse my stomping grounds. Fun Denver fact: Blucifer not only killed his maker, he is also anatomically correct.
Dan: "C'mon Arin, cause some carnage people are here to be entertained!" Me: "Oh my God, Arin please watch your speed, you're going at least 15 over if you're this close to Denver. And please wait for a straightaway before fiddling with the camera or radio so you don't drift into other lanes."
Blue Mustang, or Mustang, and colloquially known as Blucifer,[1][2] is a cast-fiberglass sculpture of a mustang located at Denver International Airport (DEN). Colored bright blue, with illuminated glowing red eyes, it is notable both for its striking appearance and for having killed its sculptor, Luis Jiménez, when a section of it fell on him at his studio.[1] Incase anyone wants to know who the sculpture was and how he died.
I love how Dan loves to come off and does come off as this wholesome lovely person, but at times has moments where definitely wants to destroy stuff. Like I feel you brotha
For once I was finally proud of Arin for sticking to the track he was meant to go on and then Dan started encouraging him to do illegal shit and for once I was actually on Arin’s side this episode.
6:00 Arin misses the interchange and adds an extra half-hour onto his trip 7:50 While making his U-turn needed because he missed the interchange, he makes a late turn and hits a barrier.
Dan wanting Arin to break the law when he doesn't want to is an interesting parallel to Lin's Awakening when Arin was adamant on getting Dan to steal from the shopkeep.
Dan: "Oh. It won't let you get to the church because it's protected." Arin: "By the fence?" Dan: "No. By the Lord!" Genuinely laughed out loud at that. XD
I love how arin completely misses his exit, the gps reroutes, and he's oblivious to it. No, arin. It's definitely not an exit that didn't exist on the left side. 😂
"I'm making great time right now" is literally exactly what I say when I want to get to work early, doing 15 over and wanting to have my before work break.
15:05 "I've got nuts. I don't know what kinda nuts. I wish they would say. That would make me feel a lot more immersed in this world" Plot twist: he's delivering almonds (that would give Arin an existential crisis) 🚚
Dan: “Don’t cross the yellow line! You have to stay in your lane” Dan, minutes later: “Alright, I think it may be time to crash into someone now.” Dan panicking about the entertainment value and trying to stir up some chaos was hilarious. Meanwhile, the lovelies were clearly loving Arin’s mostly uneventful trek across Colorado.
Dan's back seat driving is like the intrusive thoughts I get while driving that I can't take in real life, but I RELISH in watching them do stupid shit while playing this game. 😂
@@tabtabjustin either Arizona (driving through the desert in the dark is creepy as hell) or the windmill farms in Indiana (at nighttime you can’t see the windmills but the sky is full of bright red lights) Great question!
In the vast realm of Let's Play videos on RUclips, there are certain creators who possess a unique ability to transport their viewers into new and exciting virtual worlds. One such dynamic duo is Dan Avidan and Arin Hanson, known as "Game Grumps." In a recent episode of their American Truck Simulator series, these two entertainers took us on an unexpected ride filled with Dan's intrusive thoughts and Arin's distractible nature behind the wheel. This review aims to delve into the fascinating dynamics of their gameplay and highlight the humor, authenticity, and occasional chaos that ensue. American Truck Simulator serves as the backdrop for this episode, providing a realistic and immersive driving experience. The vast, open roads and stunning landscapes create a visually appealing environment for Dan and Arin to explore. The meticulous attention to detail in the game's graphics and physics enhances the gameplay, further immersing viewers into the world of long-haul trucking. Dan Avidan, the more introspective and contemplative member of the Game Grumps, brings a refreshing level of depth to the episode. Throughout the playthrough, he openly shares his intrusive thoughts, inviting viewers into the inner workings of his mind. Dan's vulnerability and willingness to address personal challenges injects a level of relatability into the episode, reminding us that even those we admire face their own struggles. His stream-of-consciousness commentary adds a layer of authenticity and establishes a connection with viewers who may have experienced similar thought patterns. On the other hand, Arin Hanson's energetic and easily distractible nature serves as a perfect foil to Dan's introspection. Arin's knack for unintentionally derailing conversations and causing hilarious mishaps injects a sense of unpredictability and keeps the gameplay entertaining. While his distractions may impede progress at times, they create a lighthearted atmosphere that has become a trademark of Game Grumps' content. The chemistry between Dan and Arin is evident as they bounce off each other's energy, generating endless banter that keeps viewers thoroughly engaged throughout the episode.
Swift is known as that. CR England trucks (which I worked for) was “Every New Guy Leaves After Ninety Days” and CRST was “Can’t Remember S**t Training”
Glad to be watching this after getting dental surgery. Brought a smile to my face to see Arin's trucking business going well with some traffic infractions and dubbing Arin Ville all across Amercia.
Wow, Dan. Take All Your Locks Over Road actually kind of works 😂 I worked in a truckyard for several years, and there's a good handful of locks I used several times a day. (ie gladlocks, dock-locks, kingpin locks, etc.) And I assure you the SWIFTs TAYLOR'd when they weren't supposed to and never TAYLOR'd when we wished they would.

Reminds me of the "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" song "Don't Be A Lawyer".

i'm so sad i can't goOOooO.. ;O; i hope your time in boston in october will be awesome, dudes
car horn is H but AIR HORN is N!
Dan's really being Arin's evil conscience this episode.
Mini devil Dan: Use truck for crime
Mini angel Sonic: That's no good!
He was steering Arin morally and literally astray
I love that it was basically the Link’s Awakening roles reversed
You mean intrusive thoughts?
@@jeremiahbristow7609 no because you have 0 desire whatsoever to actually do anything from an intrusive thought. please avoid misusing the term, even as a joke
"Borf is saying no, go back"
Borf is a god damned hero
Borf saved us from possibly 30 more minutes of unnecessary chaos.
@@JayEyeZeroBut that's the best kind of chaos!
@@JayEyeZero When I heard "Where do you need it?" I knew the rest of the video was gonna be aaallllll parking
They need someone like that always around
If Borf hadn't said that, I think this video would have broke me. I nearly had an aneurysm when Arin started driving away.
as a colorado resident, thank you for bringing Blucifer to people's attention, we love him
I didn't know that was his name. I always just called it the Denver Death Horse!
I don't pass through DIA very often, but Blucifer is always there to greet me when I do!
There's something so exciting about hearing them talk about Colorado. My brain keeps shouting, "THATS ME!"
As someone who lives near OU (Oklahoma one where Blucifer Jr lives) I also giggled 🤭
yeah!! hes our boy and he killed his own creator!!
Dan: Why not just drive a real truck?
Also Dan: Drove a truck into a tunnel that was lower than his truck and got stuck.
He was also stupidly high when he did that and it was before game grumps
@@shoken4421he still did it lol
@@benderbendingrodriguez420 yeah but that's being high,arin can't make that excuse here lol
@@shoken4421what do you mean?! Have you never met a man high on life? I’m sure that’s half the reason why people become truckers!
@@D44RK_Iced_Yogs I had an uncle who was a truck driver ,I used to ride with him from. Georgia to any of his nearby stops when he drove trucks ,being high on life and being legit high off weed are two different things ,Dan was high off the latter back in the day
I really like Arin complaining about city planning when he missed his off ramp.
Arin: *misses exit*
Arin 3 minutes later: why is it making me go back on the highway???
If I saw these two dudes actually driving a truck on the freeway I don’t know if I’d be excited as fuck or actually terrified for my life.
both at the same time, plus a secret third thing
They're not mutually exclusive
“This week on ten minute power hour we’re trucking!”
*gestures to honk horn
...
I think they're cutting me off
*In cab
HOW DO I HONK?!
*hits every single road sign
"Whoa is that Arin...in the wrong lane?" *fade to black*
N is the key to activate your "air horn", if you have them mounted on your truck's cabin. That's probably the sound Arin was hoping for.
You're telling me Arin tried every key for the horn... except H?
that's what I said.
The stupidity is unbelievable
Me enjoying the game....Dan: "go into oncoming traffic and take some people out"
OMG Dan nooo.
He does the same thing to their tour bus driver
Him doing this feels like Dan just didn't like the game and wanted to just get this episode out of the way. I normally like Dan. This just made me dislike this episode.
imagine having dan as your GPS
let the intrusive thoughts win 😈

Dan is the intrusive thoughts. Arin stay strong deliver that load!
Yeah deliver that load and then fulfill the request you were hired for!
🤨🧐
Deliver those nuts!
Oh, yeah, I love it when Arin delivers his nut-load into just the right place.
@Seb-Storm which nuts?
13:06 I love how Dan gives into those gremlin thoughts, "Do it, you know you want to, just give him a little love tap, take him out." 🤣 Arin's, "What? No." is so funny
Dan being actual intrusive thoughts this episode 😂
@@Rinihime 🤣 Right! The way he says it too, "Take him out." definitely being the intrusive thoughts lol poor Arin was just trying to drive lol

I love it when silly games like this bring out Dan's inner chaos gremlin
As a Colorado native, this brings infinite joy. And it's hilarious that they picked the yellow and brown nothingness in eastern Colorado over driving past the mountains to Colorado Springs
YES! MATT & RYAN ARE FINALLY PLAYING AMERICAN TRUCK SIMULATOR!!
about damn time
FINALLY
Always nice to see the boys showing their patriotism. Unlike that commie duo Denny and Arnold
I'm glad someone pointed it out
Oh the guys from super mega ??? Awesome !!!
As a truck driver myself, SWIFT has so many versions, but my favorite one is See What I’ll Fuck up Today. The controls and what you can see out your windows and side mirrors in this game is pretty spot on.
I love watching Matt and Ryan play truck sim
Although there's a lack of NSP songs in the background this episode
those supermegabois are at it again
this feel like an alt timeline.
I never thought Dan would be the agent of chaos but here we are.
"Llamar was discovered! My depressed pterodactyl friend!"
I love the NSP reference. I wonder if Danny's familiar with them.
Oh man, we gotta get Danny Sexbang from NSP for Guest Grumps. I bet he'd fit right in.
Arin parking the truck: "That didn't work. Let's try the exact same thing again. DAMMIT! It didn't work!" Repeat 800 times.
Who else but Arin?
Uhm, are you new around here? xD Arin "the definition of insanity" Hanson.
As a Denver native, it makes me so happy to see the boys traverse my stomping grounds.
Fun Denver fact: Blucifer not only killed his maker, he is also anatomically correct.
16:55 He wasted $180 just to see horses and you know what? It's worth it.
“Did I go the wrong way or something?” Yes Arin yes you did 😂
Completely missed his exit “I was just following the gps” nooo lol
Dan: "C'mon Arin, cause some carnage people are here to be entertained!"
Me: "Oh my God, Arin please watch your speed, you're going at least 15 over if you're this close to Denver. And please wait for a straightaway before fiddling with the camera or radio so you don't drift into other lanes."
Imagine this game with cops.

Gotta love Arin's reasoning here 9:06 "Maybe my exit just didn't exist."
Arin could be Hall n’ Oats, instead he’s haulin’ nuts.
"Now with more fiber!"
He makes my dreams cashew
@@mediocreandworse59amazing comment
“I’ll dump a load right into your bowl!”
this is poetry
I love how Dan loves to come off and does come off as this wholesome lovely person, but at times has moments where definitely wants to destroy stuff. Like I feel you brotha
I cant belive Matt and Ryan have possessed Dan and Arin
For once I was finally proud of Arin for sticking to the track he was meant to go on and then Dan started encouraging him to do illegal shit and for once I was actually on Arin’s side this episode.
I was on both sides. Therefore I am always happy with the outcome.
@@bashfulwolfo6499when you are on both sides of a battle, you always win.
why? this game is boring as fuck if you don't run into people
@@mrosskne The point of a game is to follow the objective, doing things that kill the objective is something that still pains me.
@@hazamahonoka7439the point of the game is to play however you want, like any other game
As someone living in Denver, I absolutely screamed seeing Blucifer and DIA.
Arin has made his triumphant return to the roads of America!
As he famously once said “I’m a fucking, truck guy! Choo choo!” 🚛
Dan being the agent of chaos in these truck simulator videos is so unexpected yet so welcome
6:00 Arin misses the interchange and adds an extra half-hour onto his trip
7:50 While making his U-turn needed because he missed the interchange, he makes a late turn and hits a barrier.
Dan wanting Arin to break the law when he doesn't want to is an interesting parallel to Lin's Awakening when Arin was adamant on getting Dan to steal from the shopkeep.
Yeah, but Arin wanted Danny to get punished. Danny just wants to see the world burn.
Arin flipping the cameras back and forth really fast reminds me of every first year film student project, including my own
petition to actually rename Denver to Arinville - a Coloradan
As a fellow Coloradan, I second this motion.
As an also Coloradan, I third it. The ayes have it, Denver is officially renamed Arinville.
Coloradan here. What are we renaming Lamar? Calling it Dantown would be really insulting to Dan
@@senatorsparky Question for you guys: do you pronounce it like Colorahdo or Coloraado?
@@senatorsparky also Arinville
Dan knowing the lower division US soccer teams makes me happy. I want to see him play football manager or something.
8:50 Arin, missing the right exit non-chalantly: "Did I miss the exit? No, it's the GPS who is wrong!".
Rear ends another truck, 5 minutes later... "Engine Malfunction, how?!?!" Haha, you two are amazing.
As a trucker myself, I can confirm this is exactly how it is😂
Listening to Dan absolutely corrupt Arin over and over was incredible.
"This is hard to watch" said everyone watching Arin park
Having had to actually park 18 wheelers before, it’s so mf hard to do lol
I felt it in my soul
It gave me flashbacks to the Irish People React: "He keeps dying in the same spot! Why does he keep dying in the same spot?"
to be fair semis are hard as hell to park
That’s exactly how I felt as a trucker lol
@@coolboyyo654parking them was the easy part of trucking for me. It was all the other shit that was too hard and stressful.
Arin: "Oh a church"
Dan: *"Crash into it"*
Dan: "Oh. It won't let you get to the church because it's protected."
Arin: "By the fence?"
Dan: "No. By the Lord!"
Genuinely laughed out loud at that. XD
Yeah Blucifer! Native Coloradan here, my husband and I love this. Please come to Denver on tour sometime!
Dan's absolute bloodlust in this episode is sending me
Dan giving a voice to all our intrusive thoughts while driving
I really appreciate that Arin stays in cockpit view...unlike some other let's players....
Watching Arin drive reminds me of the anxiety nightmares I have where the brakes don't work.
I get those anxiety nightmares too, terrifying, and I always wake up just before hitting a wall or something. Glad I'm not the only one.😱
I love how Dan is the little devil on Arin's shoulder 🤣😂🤣❤️
He almost never plays video games the way they were intended. The moment he does....
Dan " Hit the car."
I will be first to vote that Arin play this with an actual steering wheel and vr headset 😂
As someone with almost 200 hours in ATS, it is wild to see someone (especially Arin) actually stop at a traffic light.
why wouldn't you?
I love how arin completely misses his exit, the gps reroutes, and he's oblivious to it. No, arin. It's definitely not an exit that didn't exist on the left side. 😂
5:59 Arin, that's your exit. Arin. ARIN THAT'S YOUR EXIT!
Edit: 9:01 Arin.
Seeing Dan excited about Colorado Springs makes me happy. I lived there for 10 years and honestly loved it there.
I don't know why but game grumps truck simulators are top notch content
"I'm making great time right now" is literally exactly what I say when I want to get to work early, doing 15 over and wanting to have my before work break.
matt and ryan look sick in this episode
15:05 "I've got nuts. I don't know what kinda nuts. I wish they would say. That would make me feel a lot more immersed in this world" Plot twist: he's delivering almonds (that would give Arin an existential crisis) 🚚
Arin: *whining about geometry*
Dan: TRUCK GO IN SPACE! SPACE MADE FOR TRUCK
Arin: *sad crying*
Dan: *evil laughter*
Nica: *angry yelling*
Me, a Colorado native who loves this game: oh hey a new game grumps episode!
Dan saying Arin is his 'special man' makes me feel so lovely about their wonderful friendship :)))
Dan: “Don’t cross the yellow line! You have to stay in your lane”
Dan, minutes later: “Alright, I think it may be time to crash into someone now.”
Dan panicking about the entertainment value and trying to stir up some chaos was hilarious. Meanwhile, the lovelies were clearly loving Arin’s mostly uneventful trek across Colorado.
Classic Arin gaming: has to have Danny look up how to honk, never thinks to try the "H" key!
"just kidding, youre my special man" IM CRYIN
I work at a warehouse and I deem your driving successfully adequate. 👍
Never in my life did I expect to see Arin trying to play by the rules and Dan being the chaotic shoulder devil, lol
This is glorious! Also, thanks to Borf this wasn't a 2 hour long mess. I'd've taken it, but this works too...
Could not be more excited that they did more of this, the first epsode of it had me crying
Arin genuinely wondering if the nuts were okay sent me
Arin Trucker Hanson, the Balto of nuts.
Dan's back seat driving is like the intrusive thoughts I get while driving that I can't take in real life, but I RELISH in watching them do stupid shit while playing this game. 😂
"The law doesn't apply to me I'm a trucker" I'm pretty sure I've seen that on a shirt before lmao
I’m a commercial truck driver, I’ve driven through like 40 states and this has gotta be one of my favorite series 😂 AMA?

Arin accidentally absconding with the nuts had me in stitches
These truck simulator games are a delight to watch. The chaos is fantastic. I would love to see more. :D
I love that the 2nd episode for this game is 9 months later lol
Swift is known as that. CR England trucks (which I worked for) was “Every New Guy Leaves After Ninety Days” and CRST was “Can’t Remember S**t Training”
as someone who lives in Denver this was delightful, they also took the most boring possible route lol
I drive trucks for a living so watching this is so hilarious!! Arin in chaotic goblin mode is so great!!
I hope they play more!
The irony of Dan wanting carnage in this game when Arin was egging Dan to steal and attack the bird In Legend of Zelda lol
I appreciate Dan trying to bring the chaos to a really dull game, lol! 😂😂😂
I wonder how Arin would react if he found out that he was hauling almonds.
Glad to be watching this after getting dental surgery. Brought a smile to my face to see Arin's trucking business going well with some traffic infractions and dubbing Arin Ville all across Amercia.
Omg are we getting another evil Dan cameo????
I love evil Dan
I love them so much - "it's so realistic" (meanwhile, due to talking and generally paying no attention missing the exit...) Love them!!!
... Arin does know how to drive, right? 😂
9:41
Dan: He’s going too fast, Arin quickly after him, time to make a Citizens Arrest
Arin: *BWOOOOOOOOOO*
As someone who drives a truck for a living: I've seen drivers who park way worse than Arin.
Wow, Dan. Take All Your Locks Over Road actually kind of works 😂 I worked in a truckyard for several years, and there's a good handful of locks I used several times a day. (ie gladlocks, dock-locks, kingpin locks, etc.)
And I assure you the SWIFTs TAYLOR'd when they weren't supposed to and never TAYLOR'd when we wished they would.
Today I learned that Arin has never parked a trailer before. It's a good day.
The construction on I-70 is wildly accurate
“People love when we drive trucks!”
And also when you waste an entire episode making a WWE character, apparently. We’re a bunch of insatiable weirdos!
This episode was nice during my homesickness, im from the springs and it’s nice seeing all the roads I used to take when traveling
