Jontron has left Game Grumps

welp, I'm out too then.

edit: Good to see that he's going back to JonTron videos. I liked that more anyway.

I hope they finished Sonic 06 at least, I know they were at part 106 or something, but I don't know if they're done with it.

Shame if they didn't. D:

Since I'm at my job, I can't see that video, will there be another 'not so grump' guy or they're just done with the series?

Wait what... why? I didn't wanna torture myself through that video.. do they say why? Do they not like money?
 
If it means Jontron making the old videos again, i'm not against it. I don't think there is anyway this survives without him (and, presumably, this may mean the end of Barry too)

Now we need Egoraptor to return and make funny flash animated video again.

just kill Game Grumps already, honestly nothing of value will be lost.

It's a shame that show never really allowed the two of them to use their talents for the better. Glad the horse has finally been taken around the back.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
A shame. They were so irritating together. Now we have to deal with two separate irritating youtube streams instead of ignoring just one.

Actually I have no real basis on the quality of their content. Though I could not last 30 seconds in the one GG episode I tried.
 
This guy could easily play Bobcat Golthwait in a Saturday morning cartoon where the child version of Bobcat Golthwait gets upset playing video games.
 
Wat? Well that's unexpected. So many perks came with that job, not to mention all the money he was probably getting.

And they never finished Sonic 06 :(
 
He's shifting focus back to his own show. Great. Maybe I'll subscribe to his channel and forgive him for the whole "n-word" thing he did on Gamegrumps. Maybe...

I prefer his standalone show.
 
Maybe Egoraptor can finally make some insightful commentary about the games he plays now without Jon to interrupt him with annoying yelling anymore.
 
Considering the timing of this, with the 2 episodes per day formula stunted twice, and the fact that Jon and Arin filmed two different videos in that last one, I think they may have had a falling out.

Average Episode.

Arin: Mentions Game
Jon: Says how much he hates that game
Arin: Surprised by Jon's hatred states why he likes the game
Jon: Back pedals and says he likes the game.

In the end they're both pretty dense though. Quite a few conversations they've had make me wonder if they even went to school.

He's incredibly annoying and those 2 guys had no chemistry whatsoever. This can only be a potentially good thing.
 
I don't even understand how this isn't obviously the end of the Game Grumps. The two of them were the point.
I honestly didn't know who Jon was until Grumps. The whole 'Come for the Ego, stay for the Jon' thing couldn't have been more appropriate for me. Dude was great. They both were. It's undeniably sad that Jon's no longer grumpin', but I'm certainly willing to give the new guy a shot with the same open-mindedness I gave Jon. End of an era, start of a new.

The millionaire episodes had me ROFLing.

Game Grumps added a new guy. Matt or something.

So they are pulling a Poochie?

Needless to say, I can't see that working out. Game Grumps IS Egoraptor and Jontron playing games. You can't just replace one of them without the series losing a lot of its appeal.

I'm respecting Jontron for the decision, though. I can't imagine how much money GameGrumps made he'll now no longer receive. You've got to truly love what you do to make such a decision.

Egoraptor? Insightful commentary? Eh... sequelitis was a fluke given some of the other stuff he said on GG.
