"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHICH MAGIBALL TO PICK!" Arin says angrily as the game literally shows water splashing on the screen and the game proclaiming it reveals the hidden truths.
It took me until the next one to realize it... But only that long.
I got so mad at them for a minute, im guilty of screaming at my computer while watching them yet again
They were obviously more focused on the sheer weirdness of the game rather than the mechanics.
Thank you! I was thinking of making just such a comment haha - love these guys!
@@onebigchumptm4729 I too was yelling at them. "Use the one it's showing you, morons!!"
The game having one single mechanic and the boys not getting it is very fitting of this game
tbh it's shitty mechanic 😂
To be fair, the first time it wasn't super clear if that was the enemy type and therefore you should pick the weakness to that type, or that it was already showing the correct choice.
@@moon_wizard1250 It was super duper abundantly crystal clear as window shavings! How could you Roland this up!?!?!
@@infinitivez Because Arin's clearly a god at video games and thus anything he doesn't understand HAS to be the game's fault. Obviously.
Just fanboys being delusional, don't pay it any mind.
@@infinitivez Sarcasm??
Game: "Image of splashing water"
Arin: "Why would I pick the water one?"
I looked away a lot while eating and such so missed the tutorial stuff but even I understood the image of water and picking blue which is usually water lol
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 you'll be delighted to know that the tutorial also tells you what each color is- the yellow is an electric magiball, the blue is a water magiball, and the red is the fire magiball, so you don't need to make _such_ a leap to get there
I just realized Dan is voicing the character in spandex and Arin is voicing a literal *big cat*. This is perfect.
wait i get the big cat part but what’s dan’s relation to spandex :O

“Explore and liberate the ELEVEN homelands?!”
Elven homeland, Arin… Elven.
Classic Arin
Although I do like the idea of them playing this mess of a game for hours. XD It'll be like the second coming of Zelda's Adventure.
in fairness, it's not like the game said "elf" or "elven" or "elftopia" or similar ten billion times before that moment
@@Miss__Mystic It does look like eleven though. It's only one letter difference and eleven is more common and your brain automatically fills in blanks
I mean, it’s not like he spelled eye with a w or something.
And Arin IMMEDIATELY dissociates while thinking about playing this game. His subconscious is tryin to escape it already.
With good reason. I don't think you can play this game and remain sane.
I appreciate you using the correct word instead of ‘disassociate’ which is something entirely different and I hear/see people use it in place of dissociate all the time; high five 🖐
@@saorise28 I do it too. I had to learn for my own health. It made me laugh to hear him describe the experience, and I'm over here like "Dude there's a word for that"
@@saorise28 disassociate stands for: dis ass o ciate!
Pleeeeeeease keep playing this, it’s so fierce!!!
When Arin called it a hime cut, I thought he said He-Man cut, and tbh, you go look up He-Man and tell me that isn't his hair.
You're telling me that he didn't say He-Man cut? I definitely heard that.
He said he man bob and you can’t tell me otherwise
Same
The back and forth of Dan calling her Dido, and Arin calling her Ditto was killing me.
In a good way of course.
Dan: Dido
Arin: It’s Ditto
Dan: *does not acknowledge this*
Me: SCREM
It would _never_ be "ditto." Dan is correct.
Such spelling would either be pronounced Die-doh, or _possibly_ Dee-doh.
@@Orpheusftw I know it's Dido. We all know it's Dido, Arin is just an ignoramus. A loveable one, but one nonetheless.
Dude I’m glad I’m not the only one holy crap it’s so funny
@@Orpheusftw Keep in mind this is English we're speaking - literally nothing is consistent haha. The back and forth is funny nonetheless
there’s not enough games with completely delusional narrators i love her
Honestly I'm kinda obsessed with her lmao
reminds me of Papyrus. I love them both
*Gundham and Fischl enter the chat
Definitely gonna have to watch a full playthrough of this.
she makes me so happy
The effect that is used on all of these images is called a wigglegram.
Thank you, Gimli!
They teach you this stuff at dwarf school, Gimli? What would Gloin think about your interests in special effects editing?
Thanks, I hate it.
The game shows a giant crystal ball filled with water, fire, or thunder before making you choose between the water, fire or thunder orb:
Sir Arin the Hedgehog: How I'm suppose to know what fucking magicball to pick!?
A classic.
updoot
Developer makes an entire game around his latex elf fetish

"game"
Legit this is what I was thinking when I saw the models, this is absolutely from some 3D artist with a Subscribe Star page for fetish art
@happy 6 hell yeah I love shiny things
@@Wyrdwulf19 nah, these are all premade things you can buy
This artstyle has got some major i spy energy
feels like the dreadful and overlooming sense of being watched
incredibly and horribly accurate
brings me back
It's like if I Spy and the Teletubbies had some like, Eraserhead love child
This comment fucked me up
Gets shown a vision of actual literal fire, chooses the water ball. Never change fellas.
To be fair, I thought the crystal ball was giving hints about the enemy type, not the magiball type. If the enemy was a fire-type, you'd want to attack with water.
No excuse for the second battle where Arin randomly picks though.
@@welcome2myhappyworld Right? I was thinking they were choosing logically like that. but yeah, no. no excuses for not getting the second one. It's a very in-your-face mechanic lol
@@welcome2myhappyworld Also to be fair, I thought the candles were just some magical paraphernalia, not the element it was saying to use. That only became obvious when the water showed up.
Game: the crystal ball will show you the path!
Game: LITERALLY SHOWING FIRE BURNING
Arin: so uh... I guess we just pick one at random?
Dan's "of course" when Arin changed Didos voice had me crying 🤣
The classic arin female voice-over lol. I think we all thought the same thing
"Well Arin..." As the elf on the cat is just.....bouncing? I immediately burst out laughing.
Dude me too. XD
That elf really reminds me of Okoye. Well, maybe not because she looked bald at first but I guess not. Hard to see while I'm outside lol
Arin yelling "ELEVEN??!" at the end when it so obviously says Elven really, really got me.
It's nice to see the Nintendo seal of quality still means something.
yup, it means its "sold by nintendo", and nothing else
Never has, never will - although this one's pretty good lol
Less bugs than the new pokemon games at least (I say as I more hours into Scarlett).
quality as a priority went out the window as soon as the switch was released :(
*Vision starts playing with water splashing around*
Arin: *uses first fire, then lightning orb"
Arin: "how the hell am i supposed to know which one to use?"
bro, that wasn't even skipping a tutorial, that's actively ignoring what's happening on screen ...
This is the guy that made extensive video essays about conveyance in game design about a decade ago.
You must be new here.
@Attelocin217 bro, when I started watching game grumps Jon was still here. Arin just keeps getting worse every year.
@Cypherwraith001 his opinions on game design and development are usually right, but his ability to actually play is just abysmal.
Arin is the kind of guy who complains about tutorials and then complains about games that don't tell you what to do when it isn't written out in front of him. Devs can't win when it comes to Arin, unless it's Mario or MegaMan.
"Ho man... Drugs."
The way Dan said that was 100% how I felt watching this
He said that as I read this. 💯 I have to know if these are real or 3D models. Also, Arin and Dan pronouncing Dido 😂
I legitimately adore the style of this game, its so oddly stylized
It reminds me of the old I spy books.
@@thatsprettylanebruh
@@thatsprettylaneI was legitimately thinking that and ran to the comments to see if anyone else thought the same lol
Frrr i was thinking the same thing!
I really find this game oddly charming, like Lazytown. Weird comparison but it gives me the same oddly charming vibes with adult child-like characters and with the weird colorful style of their clothes.
I... the hints or clues are not subtle...
It's not hard to understand that candles mean "pick the fire ball" and splashes mean "pick the water ball"
I am almost impressed by the obliviousness
Driving me up a wall.
Okay, but I legit thought the clues were about what the enemy type was, not what magiball to use. If you are up against a fire-type enemy, you'd want to attack with water. No excuse for the second battle where Arin just randomly picks though.
they play while blindfolded and deafened
You literally just described a "Game Grumps video".
@@welcome2myhappyworld It's never suggested enemies have an element, just that there's only one element that works on them, and the game outright says the vision will tell you the correct path. It just says "pick the one we show you".
Them choosing the wrong magiballs when its so obvious feels like a troll. Literally water splashing around in the ball and he chooses fire lmfao
welcome to another episode of: "arin doesn't comprehend the tutorial and is acting as if the game didn't just explain what he had to do"
my favourite.
Game: the balls are water, fire, and lightning
Game: okay we're gonna tell you what to pick now
Game: these are lit candles covered in fire, burning with flames and fire that is on fire
Arin: blue one got it
It IS his trademark.
Trade mark Arin maneuver
Dam: Look at the crystal ball to see what magiball to pick!
The crystal ball: *has water in it*
Arin: How am I supposed to know which ball to choose?!
You know it’s serious when arin doesn’t use his normal girl voice for a girl character
Edit: never mind
"In this cruel world, little lives mean little."
Dam...
This game is like a modern Don Quijote. The narrator is completely insane and just making it up as they go and I love it.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
The game references Don Quijote @ 11:00
Sometimes I think Arin isn't watching the same game we are. I love you Arin, don't change.
Magiball: *showing water*
Arin: Why would I pick the water one?
This whole episode is a fever dream and some how our bois found a way to miss the one game mechanic in this game.
Despite having no words, they talked through the whole video.
Could words have evaded them?
@@danielcampos1715 💀
I like that this comment is 1 minute of the video uploading so they wouldnt know
@@stilalive13 imagine they stopped talking half way through as a bit for no reason
Yeah it's a commentary channel, what did you expect?
THE MAGIBALLS SHOW A VISION REVEALING THE TRUTH
Arin: lets ignore that and pick every option at random
How are they not getting that the answer is in the crystal ball? This game has ONE mechanic and they aren't getting it 😭 I'm pissing and shitting rn
The animation is like the Zelda’s Adventure CDI crew just got newer equipment
I love the grumps.
Game "here are the marbles and their elements, we will show you which to choose...choose fire."
Grumps "you like blue (represents water), let's choose blue."
“WHERE COULD THERE POSSIBLY BE ANY INDICATION OF WHICH MARBLE TO PICK???”
[clicks through a gif of water]
Tutorials placed a restraining order on Arin.
They were obviously more focused on the sheer weirdness of the game rather than the mechanics, if you can even call those mechanics.
@@raz9305 and I'm here for it!
@Resileaf I agree! I love when it happens though, the combination of funny and frustrating is uniquely a grump experience. Add in one of the weirder games I've seen is icing on the cake.
This entire game takes place in the weirder parts of those I Spy books they had at the elementary school library.
I love that a crytal ball tells you what marble to choose and then she bashes the monsters to death with it
Arin: "How do you know which one to pick?"
Game: shows ball with water splashing around.
Me: I wonder
This looks like the devs wanted to make a game with similar levels of ridiculousness as the Katamari franchise or the like, but was about $200 million short in budget and forgot the gameplay.
You know, it does feel like no-budget katamari. This is the best description of it I've heard so far in fact.
"I think I lost a sense of self"
That's called dissociating, Arin
I dunno what's more hilarious - the Grumps being COMPLETELY oblivious to the crystal ball hints or them being genuinely confused whether or not this was 3D modeled.
I was thrown off a little too. I think the poses were so stiff and irrelevant they they made the assets feel like stock photos for a minute.
Gonna be honest I don't feel sane enough to discern it myself
I absolutely need more.
I have NO idea why.
Game grumps I love you and all but please put the god damn game title in the title of the video. Love you xx
For real. They're starting to care too much about the algorithm, and it's really annoying.
Yeah, even Markiplier puts the game title on his videos. It makes it easier for the viewer.
I'm very curious how much of a difference this 'clickbait-y' title and thumbnail combo performs compared to how they used to post videos; i imagine it must be some sort of positive difference if they haven't changed back yet. But for me personally, not having enough information on a video's title and/or thumbnail makes me 100% more likely to skip the video entirely :/ hell, some times i don't even recognize that a video is FROM the game grumps cause the thumbnail is just so drastically different from what i know them for
I actually believe that this is such a genuine example of performance art that we, mere mortals, simply do not understand its significance.
24:25 Of course it's the water one, look at the vision! How could you interpret that vision as anything else? 🤣😂
It seems like they aren't even noticing it, like they think it's a loading screen or something.
I always worry when they play games like these if they're going to be bad or "Bad". This one seems "Bad", which is a pleasant surprise.
I... I don't think this even is "Bad"... Just... Weird. And I love it.
Right? The writing in this is actually kinda clever. The characters all have distinct and recognizable ways of talking. The outfits for Dam and Dido are actually cute and stylized. The animations and imagery actually looks pretty good, if not incredibly trippy. The person or people who made this clearly have talent.
This whole game feels like something the guy who made the I Spy books would do just before tryin their hand at books and hittin it big.
holy shit, it game grump,,
I feel like watching this sober is the safe route
It definitely gives you insight of what it's like to not be sober
and i can say watching this high is a very good idea
playing this high is hard mode 😂
"...and the maggots themselves will be sick to their stomachs!"
Oh my goodness, just imagine all the tiny little maggots puking, going "bleeaaah" all over the place with their tiny little mouths. That's the most adorably unsettling image.
the vision before you pick the magiball hints what one to get, the first vision was candles - fire and the second was water... -water
me patiently waiting for a next time on gamegrumps on this even though this is probably too weird to continue, feels like a mystery i need closure to
Christ, there are like two scenes of actual gameplay in this, and Arin somehow fucked up in both of them
Why was this more of a hallucinogenic experience than the time my mom accidentally overdosed me on medication
I feel like I'm spectating someone else's acid trip, as narrated by The Grumps..
This game is like listening to a 4 yr old trying to tell you a story.
We couldn’t go into a weird abstract game without Danny mentioning abstract music videos like Tears for Fear.
The fact that she explained how the game works and the cat wasn't listening, is very fitting that it's Arin.
As bad as this is, Roland is a big mood. Love him. XD
It would almost be funny if it wasn't all so mind numbingly goofy
Yas
I don't think it's bad, though. It's weird, but that's clearly the point, so whoever made this succeeded. Also, the writing is confusing, but never clunky. It's all very lyrical, like a nonsense poem or a rant a character from Midsummer Night's Dream would go on. No, I'm not literally calling it Shakespeare, I hope you get what I mean, why I'm kinda glad they played this even if they weren't into it.
Oh, and yeah, you're right 100% on Roland. Cooool Cat 🐈
@@blueberriesinmycoffee1234 I do. Theres something clever about the writing that I do appreciate. Lol
How the grumps could completely miss the simplist mechanic that blatantly shows which orb to choose had me screaming blood. Still love these guys, but.. my god, the pain.
I can't tell if they genuinely don't understand * candles=fire, splashing=water, lightning=electric one* or if they are just fucking around tbh 😂
They genuinely dont understand
This is Arin. He's not known to be good at video games.
i didnt catch it at all. But i'm not actually playing and i'm toasted, so theres that
You see him fail to make a single jump in the tutorial level of the Catwoman game for half an hour while the game is literally telling him what to do the whole time? Sometimes I think he can't read.
I actually love this. It's fun, stylish, and EXPLODING with supremely unique personality.
I love it when the Grumps play games that are absolutely off-the-wall bananas because they’re fun whether you know the game or not. If you’re familiar, you enjoy watching people react to it. If you aren’t, you can experience the weirdness together.
"are people supposed to JO to this?" Great job Dan, only took you almost 20 minutes to figure it out.
i just woke up from a nap and immediately started this i already know this is gonna feel like a dream later
The absolute best part about all this is how unconvinced and uninvested the cat is.
Add for the game:
"Never had a fever dream? No worries, champ, we've got you covered."
The more I watch this channel, the more I realize I'm really just watching for Dan. I would watch the shit out of some Dan gaming
Me too pal, i really enjoyed the space quest episodes
I feel like the characters were generated in like the highest fidelity possible, then someone posed them, took screenshots, and the screenshots are what made it to the game. I think the slight shaking is actually just moving the camera around on the posed model, alternating back and forth like 5 degrees. It's very odd, but also it looks surprisingly good.
“Elves could be found in your basement.” (Me having a sudden Dennis the Menace flashbacks.) “What are you doing in my basement? Get outta here. GET OUTTA HERE!”
This feels like a 4K remaster to a forgotten Phillips CD-i game.
"Oh god what is that."
"It's a Liopleurodon Charlie!"
"A magical Liopleurodon!"
"It's going to guide our way to candy mountain!"
How do they not get this humor?
Like Ninja Sex Party's music is kind of close to this kind of humor.
Huh, that's an interesting point. I think this is really well-written stuff, honestly. It's possible they were too put off by the visual strangeness? But I kind of love the look of it, too, so.. oh well, I liked it and I'm glad they brought my attention to it.
I resonate with how Arin reacted at the start
I love that sometimes Dan has to ask, "is this a horror game?" Whereas with this one, he had to ask "is this a game at all?"
Burst out laughing when Danny said: "It looks like a Tears For Fears video".
This episode pairs well with a fat bowl
Me: Can I get some weird on show?
Grumps: one episode of weird
Me: UM, MORE WEIRD PLEASE
Usually I roll my eyes at the clueless comments because you guys are multitasking and small errors are to be expected. It really is fine! But this episode the comments are warranted. xD Picking a blue orb when it shows you burning candles isn't just ignoring a tutorial, it's not even looking at what is happening on the screen RIGHT THERE. Even simple matching colors would have worked if you don't know what each orb is.
The fact that they both utterly ignore the visions that clearly tell them what orb to use is amazing.
Even without words, Dan is coming out with the quips within the first minute
Wow, Dan really had to stretch the old vocab muscle for this one. Just a reminder, read books kids.
This is the most interesting art style in a game since Cuphead, this, like, "David LaChapelle makes a Peter Gabriel video". I need more of this, please.
Pick the magiballs you get the clue for,
If the ball shows you water, go blue.
If the ball shows you fire, go red.
Lighting is yellow.
And elven doesn’t equal “ELEVEN!?”
15:12 love Dan’s Drawn Together reference
Damn, Arin can't even understand the baby magiball game xD
"Are people supposed to JO to this?"
I image there is someone who will have a King Vulcano Megaeruption to it.
This is what the Spirit Halloween store gets up to the other 11 months of the year.
Might have to JO to this when I get home.
This game was definitely someone's acid trip that they had to turn into a game
The fact that a fucking cat is named Roland is killing me lol
Fun fact: Dido was a character in Greek mythology, a queen cursed by the gods to love a child like his mother. When the child's father refuses to stay with her, because he needs to sail with his people to their home, Dido goes mad and kills herself. It's kind of a disaster.
I watched this with a headache and somehow it made sense in a HP Lovecraft undescribable way as if the tentacles of the other gods wrap themselves around my mind and gave it a little kiss and said hello my name is Charlie
Watching the weird back and fourth movement gave me a headache...
I've revisited this on the eShop so many times, hoping someone would be madlad enough to play this on youtube
I feel like this is an acid trip a kid would take where they’re in an adventure created by their own weird creativity that doesn’t make sense and everyone just rolls with the punches no matter how ridiculous it is
I adore that Arin knows what a hime cut is.
I would challenge anyone to try and explain a single second of this video to someone a hundred years ago
It's like Midsummer Night's Dream. It's like that Alice and Wonderland guy, it's like what he does. And with lots of colors. That's it. It wasn't that hard.
I liked it! :D
I think Dan is getting sharper as he gets older.
When I saw whatever the hell this is, the last thing I thought was "I'm going to learn a new word today!" But here we are...
in my global modern art history class, we once spent a day talking about dadaism. i think i get it now
Oh my gosh the reggaetón with the violins
