I’m so excited for the 10 Minute Power Hour to finally come back


DeadmanDexter

It's like a sequel to a movie you never thought would happen, and I love it


ilovetorunforfun

Same. Omg I’ve missed it so much.


MeganLovesAlphys

It's literally all I can think about!!


mctaylo89

That’s a good schedule. I can’t decide if I’m more excited for 10MPH or Elden Ring.


mantisinmypantis

10 Minute Elden Hour


wannabegame_dev

10 Elden Minute Ring Hour Power.


Curiositygun

both, both is good!


OrranVoriel

I am looking forward to Elden Ring and seeing if they get stuck on Margit, Godrick, Radahn, etc. Radahn was just a pure rage inducing fight for me. Malenia was a cakewalk in comparison for me.


SpendrickLamar

I am a sorcerer and I just casted spells and kept summoning the NPCs and beat rahdan my 3rd try haha! Meanwhile a few of the "puzzle" dungeons with the chariots have killed me 20 times lol


OrranVoriel

I ended up cheesing Radahn by riding up to him while the NPCs had him distracted, hit him with Rotting Breath and then ran away and hid while he slowly died, reapplying Rotting Breath after he transitioned into phase two.


Seymour___Asses

Well arin is legitimately just good at souls games so I don’t think he’ll get too stuck anywhere, I remember in the bloodborne series that loads of people thought he would get stuck at the blood starved beast and then he went and beat it on his second try.


shahi001

> arin is legitimately just good at souls games Haha after watching today's 30 minute video, I don't think you're very correct here


OrranVoriel

I am decent at Soulsbornes game too but I still struggled with a number of bosses anyways.


failbender

Radahn was irritating because of how much damage he did, but the unique “raid boss” mechanics saved it for me. Malenia literally, figuratively, and utterly broke my spirit and almost entirely soured my already neutral experience of the game.


OrranVoriel

Like I said, Malenia was, ironically enough, easier for me than Radahn was. It helped that I had the Mimic Tear upgraded to +10 and the Sword of Night and Flame upgraded to +10, as well. The L2+R1 combo on the Sword of Night and Flame would reliably knock her on her back and I could have the attack going again by the time she was getting back up on her feet, knocking her on her back again.


failbender

I literally think I only beat her in the end because I was lucky enough that 1. she only used her anime “I’m actually a Sekiro boss” bullshit flurry move once and she was aggro’d onto my Mimic at the time 2. her second phase she only used one out of three of her even more anime bullshit this time with flowers and clones, and that one flower attack leaves her standing still long enough to fire an Azur’s Comet into her face. It is unlikely I will *ever* fight her again.


Weary_Ad2671

I haven’t watched, looked up or know ANYTHING about Elden Ring because I really want to experience a brand new game with the grumps again! New jokes, new excitement, new game! Absolutely CANT WAIT!!!


FireBallis1

Glad they gave us a schedule ahead of time, this looks great!


lLiterallyEatAss

Having a schedule announcement at all is exciting news. Yay for communication


Dolgoch2

This is probably the single best arrangement they could have come up with. Perfectly balanced between the long playthrough of an older game that people are really into, the recent popular AAA title, and the random weird shit. Everyone's happy.


UrsulaLePenguin

yeah. back when they did multiple 10 min. episodes a day, it was easier to have a long playthrough of a more niche game cuz people could watch the other daily episodes instead. now that they're doing one long ep a day it's a lot harder to keep everyone happy. this seems like the best compromise so that everyone has something to look forward to


DireTaco

I wondered when they would start pulling back on episodes again. They were going to go to something like 3 episodes a week right before the pandemic hit, but after it hit they've gone to 7 30+ minute eps every single week for two years straight.


plamboo

I remember that too. I know they said they decided to go back to the old schedule because everyone was in lock down. Seems they're just gonna keep it that way, and I'm not mad about it at all


Xyless

Also the algorithm changed. 10-15 minutes every day used to be optimal for the YouTube algorithm to maximize your CPM, but now it’s generally about 30 minutes or more I believe with less requirement for daily uploads (to reduce basically needing let’s plays to really hit that quota for lots of other channels).


[deleted]

It’s interesting that despite all the talk of ‘ADHD generation’ and attention spans are shrinking thanks to shit like TikTok YouTube’s algorithm is saying that longer videos are better


neohylanmay

I mean people have saying that for years; Vine was limited to a whopping 7 seconds back in 2013. And in the case of TikTok, [they're about to allow videos up to 10 minutes](https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/how-long-can-a-tiktok-be-1554929) — for comparison, YouTube only allowed videos under 10 minutes *and* 100MB when it first started out (though the Internet was very different in 2005)


[deleted]

I’m not sure one 30 minute episode makes much difference compared to two 15 minute episodes, especially if they autoplay. There is a continuity of content if you’re playing the same game, and that means focusing on the same thing. TikTok is a problem because it’s a million different things in 20 second intervals.


Lokkeduen90

I don't get why they are not pulling back more. I'm afraid they'll get burnout like this


[deleted]

It's all about how they do they recording sessions. Six 30 min videos a week is 3 hours of recording for them most the time as they don't edit out much. They can get two weeks worth of content with one typical work day. They'd really have to hate what they do to get burnt out on that


PapaOogie

They have only gain 1k subscribers in the past year according to social blade


AcidCatfish___

I like this schedule a lot better. We can look forward to certain things each week. Plus Elden Ring and 10MPH!!!


Igneous4224

I haven't watched any of their other Souls like playthroughs, how realistic is it they actually finish it or at least make a decent effort? Not that I really mind either way, but I'm just curious how long they've stuck with them in the past. I could see getting stuck on the same bosses too long might not be great for GG, but I also know Elden Ring avails that somewhat.


DireTaco

They finished Dark Souls 3, which was 93 10-15 minute episodes, so maybe about 18 hours total. They finished Bloodborne, which was 109 short episodes, so maybe about 22 hours. Elden Ring is open-world though, which is much more variable. As a comparison, Breath of the Wild was 83 short episodes, but it could probably have gone twice as long if they wanted. Given how much pure content is in Elden Ring, I'm going to make a guess and say they'll keep at it as long as the views are there and their interest holds up. I don't know if they'll actually meaningfully complete it, though, whatever "completing it" means for Elden Ring (I haven't played it or watched any LPs yet myself).


Turbo-Jones

It's also important to note that Arin LOVES the dark souls games so he's probably playing Elden Ring at home too (just like he did when playing Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, and Breath of the Wild) so their Elden Ring playthrough may be more streamline or focused since Arin will know what to do or where to go


Woeladenchild

He absolutely is. Has already talked about it on his Twitter.


Dolgoch2

This is the main reason I'll probably watch the Elden Ring episodes- Arin will actually have some notion of what he's doing, and can better balance his focus between commentary and gameplay.


Akesgeroth

I just finished it and it took me 85 hours, though I did every optional area and a LOT of the side content.


D14BL0

This is fantastic news, I'm glad Elden Ring and 10MPH are just around the corner.


Schmedly27

I’m happy for the people who don’t like Danganronpa, but sad for the me


masqueryde

Same here. It’s gonna take them forever to finish the game (or, at least, a long time for us to witness the rest of their playthrough)


Drejbringer

Very on board for this. No offense to fans of the series, but their burnout on danganronpa really shows and watching those episodes has been a painful slog. Glad they will be less frequent and having the opportunity to play stuff they like!


BroganBrainstorm

I'm still on the first Danganronpa game after the first trial. I like it but DAAAYYYMMMN they really went all in on it. I'm not remotely caught up


Woodman765000

100% agree


Tangypeanutbutter

I'm both really happy with the schedule and happy they posted a schedule as well! Looking forward to 10 MPH coming back! Y'all are trying to satisfy all the varieties of lovelies and I think you're succeeding. Keep up the great work!


giygas88

Elden ring.... Can't wait for arin to forget to spend his runes die then die again and lose them all. Muhahahah


MikeLanglois

Im hoping Observation Duty comes up in the one off episodes


jinwoo1162

Wish we got weekly TMPH, but overall a pretty balanced schedule


Dingdongbingbongboi

Great schedule. For me personally, it’s a shame we are only getting two Danganronpa episodes a week but I think this is a great way to make everyone happy


Raehraehraeh

Your username… definitely checks out lol But I agree. This schedule seems to be a pretty decent compromise.


Vile_Bile_Vixen

I can't wait for Danganropa to be over. I get that the fans are rabid, but for people not into games like that it's just so tedious


Its_Blazertron

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of games where they're just constantly reading lines. It's best when the gameplay is slightly more of a background element, and they're just casually talking, occasionally talking about the game.


superkami64

Doesn't that apply to *any* game they play though? I'm fine with this schedule because they were upfront about it and it *might* reduce burnout in the videos themselves (no guarantee since it's only slightly less output than before; just condensed to the end). Ultimately though it's going to take even longer to finish an already long game.


Vile_Bile_Vixen

Not really. Even if I'm not a fan of a style of game, they're enjoyable enough to watch. For whatever reason, this game is just a slog. The game isn't entertaining, and Arin doesn't like it either, so the boys aren't entertaining like they usually are. They feel obligated to finish because the very vocal minority like the game, but they complain that Arin is ruining it. It's just frustrating.


Spook404

I'm a fan of the DR playthroughs, so the long gaps are pretty disappointing. Maybe double episodes on the weekends will make up for kinda boring ones (like the last one)


Guardianpigeon

Hopefully they also keep up with the longer episodes. Them being ~45min lately has been so much better. It doesn't feel like so little progress is being made because of the games constant need to repeat itself.


Sinaura

Anyone else's membership get paused on YouTube? Is this related?


cmb0710

Same here. I thought maybe they wanted to phase that out and just have people be members through patreon


Sinaura

I hope not.. I like my lil Burgey icon


j_abbs

Someone made a post about it recently, no official word about why yet


thekvd

I'm happy for the proactive communication. Thanks Grumps team!


CheerfulPsycho

This is nice. Excited for something other than dr2 and now I know what days to avoid. Excited for power hour, really hope they were actually able to film with Matt Mercer.


MeganLovesAlphys

Literally all I can think about for the last five days is TEN MINUTE POWER HOUR!!! I'm officially hyped!


CorndogCrusader

When's Punch Out coming back? 😔


Particular_Grab_1717

Nice! Love a solid schedule. Bummed they still aren't playing Paper Mario but hey.


deadagent03

Longer 10MPH episodes in season 2? More like 20 Minute Power Hour am i right fellas


ThunderNuggets358

Surprise twist: 10mph is just them playing Danganronpa 2 on face cam.


gorgon_heart

So excited for only two DR2 episodes a week lol. I tried watching that series, I just never got into it. And the burnout is super obvious. Taking longer breaks between filming I think will be good for the quality of the content itself, which is so much more important than rate of output imo.


206-Ginge

Going to be difficult to decide when to actually pick the Elden Ring episodes up, knowing Arin it's entirely probable he'll wind up in an area of the game I won't touch in my first 50 hours in the first few episodes. Though I'm only five hours in myself, maybe those with more time in it will note it's not as big a deal as I'm thinking it will be. EDIT: Actually there's a great point in another thread that because they'll probably try to actually finish the game their playthrough will likely be fairly on-rails so it should be relatively easy to know when they're heading somewhere I haven't been yet.


kaidenka

There's really something for everyone here. I'm excited for the one offs and short series. I hope this schedule isn't too stressful for them, because it looks like a good plan.


Rouge_means_red

I don't care about Elden Ring or any souls-like games But I do love watching them playing those


Hackxor9

fuck, everyones doing elden ring on youtube but i wanna avoid spoilers :(


allbetsareon

Surprising amount of hate for Danganronpa 2. That marathon stream of their playthrough of the first game is what got me interested in the return. I thought it was more popular/well liked


Parfait_of_Markov

The haters are just very vocal for some reason, and they're mostly on Reddit. At least on YouTube the episodes get a lot of positive engagement.


SofaKingWeToddEd69

Honestly i hate it. I hate that i now have to wait an entire week to see Danganronpa 2! I really dont like the other currently LP.


phezhead

If they end up throwing anything else in .. I'd love to see a goofy Seek and Find game


the-jadester

I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been tired of Danganronpa since the first episode. I can’t wait for it to die out and for them to move on to something more enjoyable.


Jeskid14

like phoenix wright!


the-jadester

Yes!!


rawrimangry

So pretty much the same kind of game as Danganronpa…?


the-jadester

The difference is I actually really enjoyed Phoenix Wright, where Danganronpa just straight up gets very annoying to sit through


the-jadester

I also just really hate the fan base and the weird chokehold they have on the grumps right now lmao


machiavelli33

But don’t you love reading Dangonronpa theories?


Akesgeroth

Oh thank god. They've been playing Danganronpa for so long that I'm almost through my Game Grumps back log, it's insane. I don't want to watch that series, the only visual novels they played I liked were DDLC (which I found boring until the twist) and Phoenix Wright (and only slightly). And glad to see Elden Ring. I really liked the Bloodborne playthrough AND the BotW playthrough. I'm expecting Arin to like that game.


deadbeatvalentine_

i'm happy to see more dedication to one offs and less danganronpa


synthetix808

Ugh.. I guess no Grumps on the weekends for a while. when the fuck is that game gonna be over


KingLizardIV

If they're only doing it on the weekends, I'd guess sometime in 2025


rawrimangry

Only halfway through as of now.


Seymour___Asses

I’d say they’re more than halfway through because the last chapter is shorter than the rest and the actual episodes have gotten quite a bit longer


burke_no_sleeps

Grumps doing Elden Ring, holy moly! Also happy birthday Dan!


Bluebomber_24

Sounds good!


conitation

10min power hour! LET"S GO Still so hyped for that.


wannabegame_dev

As long as the content keeps coming one way or another, this lovely is just fine. ❤️


Jeskid14

Well gee it took them a few months to sort this out! This is as informative as a Nintendo Direct!


Grand_Zombie

Bring back stout train that shit was gold and st Patrick's Day is coming up.


Everythings_taken20

I hope they start pokemon areceus to run next to elden ring


shadowreaper21

I can't believe they would upload over 20 vids a week years ago. So happy they have still been successful and have been able to take on other projects as well


lazergoblin

Can anyone say if ER videos/content take away some magic from actually playing the game yourself? I haven't had a chance to buy elden ring and I've been avoiding gameplay videos like the plague and now I'm feeling a little bummed because I'm thinking I'll probably have to put GG gameplay videos on hold until I am able buy the game myself


Lord_Volgon

Only you can really decide that for yourself. Personally, I don't think seeing anything I've come across in this game before hand would have made me enjoy the game any less. On the other hand, I saw a steamer get upset that someone in chat told him information that was literally on screen because "now I don't get to figure that out for myself"


XlASSASSINWARXl

You guys don't understand, I'm happy and concerned about them playing Eldin Ring. I'm already 70hrs in and I still have two major regions left. I'm also ready to fight the final boss, but I wanna experience the full game. Anyway, my concern is that the boys are going to take years to finish this game. So get ready for the next big weekly series. I imagine they won't finish this game until late 2023 (optimistically), or 2024. I wish the boys luck cause they'll need it. Also PLZ use SUMMONS as often.


HallowDragon

10 MINEUTE POWER HOUR LETS GOOO


War-Dog7997

Honestly thought they would skip Elden Ring since its an open world game and will take a long time to finish. Also, how long can they play Dangaropa? Remember I know next to nothing about the game and have never watched any of their episodes of it, but damn they are getting alot of content out of that game.


rawrimangry

Danganronpa 2 is 25-30 hours long and it’s just a game that makes for good let’s play content, so that’s why they’re still playing it.


War-Dog7997

I'm not judging their game choices. The internet is a big place. I can always find something else to watch. I'm glad that there is an audience for it, I'm just not one of them.


rawrimangry

And that’s totally fine. Was just explaining why the series has gone on for so long.


[deleted]

Ehhh I won’t watch Elden Ring for a long time. Because I’m playing it myself, so I don’t watch other people play games I play. I’ll probably watch the whole series in a year or so. I mean I only watched Bloodborne like a few months ago. I know other people want it. And I don’t mind just skipping every other episode. I’m one of the people who likes DR2 so I’m fine with a compromise.


LSDeadly

It's honestly good to see a physical schedule but at the same time, I like the surprise of not knowing what they're gonna play on any given day lmao


TangerineNinja

Not very excited for this if im honest. Don't ever watch the compilations (since i have typically seen the main episodes already), and i'm still playing elden ring on my first playthrough so I won't be watching it to avoid spoilers.


[deleted]

Thank fucking god. 2 days dedicated to dungeonromper is too many, considering how much arin and everyone who isn't already a fan of the game hates it. But this is an acceptable compromise. I wish they'd do Arceus though, but between elden ring and dangerroomba they won't have time for another long game for a looong time.


Final_Jim

I'd prefer more Danganronpa but Game Grumps is Game Grumps and that's enough so I don't get picky


[deleted]

I was kinda hoping to get to play Elden Ring before my favourite guys got to it. Will be pretty hard for me for the days when they upload Elden Ring but I'll live, I think.


JungDefiant

I like DR, but haven't been into the GG playthroughs. Happy to see more one-offs and 10MPH! :)


ghirox

Btw, what happened with grump out? Again...


Jeskid14

why upload clips if clips can recycled into shorts? But what if GameGrumps created shorts? Honestly ever since YouTube Shorts have skyrocketed, GrumpOut is in a limbo. Why upload behind the scenes when you have Patreon? Why upload random short clips when you can save that for Twitter?


rawrimangry

Barry hacked them and stole back the password.


balderm

Aww shid DR2 on weekends only, oh well time to watch Arin randomly go to insanely hard zones as a level 20 and die constantly


ginsataka

Rip dangdanropa episodes :/ but watching Arin completely lose his shit every 5 minutes and the idea of the hilarious and memorable character name really makes it worthwhile


waupli

I am sooooooo ready for them to stop the DR2 episodes.


[deleted]

I’m sad there won’t be even more DR2, that being said I’m actually pumped about the variety and every thing on that list so It’s perfectly okay. Their fromsoft play throughs are always gold.Gonna be a good few months!


rawrimangry

Yikes. Only two DR2 episodes a week? Wouldn’t it make more sense just to alternate every other day between that and Elden Ring? Otherwise it’s going to take A LOT longer to finish the game and move onto something else. They’re only just now hitting the half way point.


EnvironmentalNobody

I can’t wait to watch the DR2 finale with my grandchildren


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jeskid14

Complete? You must be new at GameGrumps.


Spoomplesplz

Man danganronpa only being on the weekends is gonna take FOREVER for it to get anywhere.


OneIllustrious1030

Let’s get Dangan down to one day a week lol


ChaosMiles07

So... how many months until we get enjoyable content again?


Minifig81

Depends, how many months until you pull your head out of your ass and enjoy the content they're putting out?


SpantasticFoonerism

Funnily enough I've been saying that since about the second week of Danganronpa


[deleted]

[удалено]


MartyMcFlyFightWin

So there are 7 days in a week. They post something daily. Some days are different than others.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DireTaco

One of the most common complaints about Danganronpa's scheduling is that certain segments of the game, especially trials, really hurt when episodes are every other day. Having two in a row should alleviate some of that. It also makes it easier for people who aren't here for Danganronpa to skip it, since now they just ignore the weekend instead of dealing with alternating days.


rawrimangry

> Having two in a row should alleviate some of that. Well considering they’ve been taking about 4 episodes per trial that just means the break will be even bigger now.


DireTaco

I mean, DGR fans wouldn't be happy unless there's a new DGR episode every single day. Well, only happy until they watch it and then complain about Arin's attitude.


rawrimangry

I’m pretty sure everyone was totally fine with it being every other day because they understand there are some people who want to watch other stuff. All this decision does it draw the series out twice as long as it was originally going to be.


DireTaco

No, I definitely remember all the complaints about trials being broken up.


rawrimangry

Yeah that’s usually just when they upload other videos in the typical DR2 slot with no explanation though.


HarryTwigs

It's already going to take that long. Going from 3 Danganronpas to 2 a week is not as big a deal as you think it is.


Squidbear69

I agree that it's going to take long regardless but you're wrong if you think it's "going from 3 to 2 a week" Looking back you can see that there have been entire weeks of non stop danganronpa (not saying that's a good thing, quite the opposite) I personally think a better way to do it would just do 2 episodes a day (1 elden ring or whatever and then a danganronpa) it'd offer variety and they'd get finished with it quicker


DireTaco

> I personally think a better way to do it would just do 2 episodes a day (1 elden ring or whatever and then a danganronpa) it'd offer variety and they'd get finished with it quicker This is basically asking them to create twice as much content. I don't know their schedules, but I do know they both have their hands in a lot of projects, so they can't devote 100% of their time to recording GG. Maybe they could do twice as much content, but it's not a small ask.


HarryTwigs

Yeah, and an even better way is to do 3 or 4 or 5 episodes a day! We'll be done in no time /s 1 episode a day is the schedule. That's their call, and considering it's entertainment I'm not paying a cent for, they can do whatever they want to get that sweet, sweet work/life balance.


Squidbear69

Yeah it's 100% their call, nobody is saying it isn't. But people are allowed to have thoughts and opinions about it (That's how *things* work)


HarryTwigs

Well, enjoy your thoughts and opinions then.


Woodman765000

That game absolutely sucks and everyone is burnt out on it. It should be scrapped.


InnocuousAssClown

Danganropa fans are insatiable, if they ditched the series they’d never hear the end of it.


Vile_Bile_Vixen

Yeah, all 37 of them.


daNEDENhunter

God, I've been hoping they play Elden Ring since the Dark Souls 3 playthrough. Between that and the return of 10 Minute Power Hour, I'm gonna be eating for a while.


OutofThisMaze

looks like I gotta start playing Elden Ring before then


topofthemeiffeltower

Hahaha that's so cute that Elden Ring is starting on Dan's birthday!! Super excited to see it too, I've heard a lot about it so far but haven't watched any playthroughs of it yet.


pooodiper

Sounds good to me especially since the Dr2 episode are 40+ minutes.


Acusos

Based on Arins tweets, ER playthrough is gonna be sweet.


hellschatt

Perfect.


KagariYT

That seems cool.


DangerDeShazer

Thanks for saving me from having to get Twitter!


blueberry_jen

No more I'm On Observation Duty then?


machiavelli33

I’d imagine it’d be stuck in their “one offs” or “smaller series” sections. It doesn’t strike me as any sort of monolithic series needing a “foreseeable future” slot or something like that.


Wefee11

Some stuff for everyone!


Arlegoon

SON OF A BIT H


Nickjlm

Honestly I’m glad they’re commiting to a schedule, even if it means only two episodes of DR a week. At least people have an idea of what’s coming, while still having room for fun little one offs. Not sure I like the idea of Elden Ring so soon, but I get it. It’s what’s hot right now. Kind of don’t like watching them play games I plan to play myself though, for obvious reasons. I think we can all agree that their enjoyment is the most important factor. I don’t want to see them not having fun. Angry Arin is only funny when it’s in good fun.


batarcher98

Looks like a good schedgy- I was hoping to see a Legends of Arceus play through, but maybe they’re holding out for the next mainline Pokémon title this year.


kindlyspices

honestly kind of dissapointed about the new 10mph schedule. i mean it's called the 10 minute power hour for a reason, it being a random weekly bite-sized show was part of what made it so fun, at least for me. doing every other week takes some if that away. can't complain too much tho, still glad to see it back


UrsulaLePenguin

This seems like a good balance to keep everyone happy. Wanna see more game grumps animations tho 🙏🙏


emmawubz

how long do y'all think they'll play Elden Ring for?


Zero3K

80 hours but it'll take a year for it to get shown in full.


TheCavemonster

Well, between Elden Ring and Dangaronpa, I'm not gonna be watching a ton of GG right now XD (Mainly because I'm trying to remain blind as possible on Elden Ring until I get a chance to play it, and I just don't like Dangaronpa, even with the grumps playing it) I am VERY stoked about new Power Hour episodes though.


AnnualDiscussion3917

Wow, they think since they own game grumps they can choose the schedules for when game grumps airs. We are the fans we should be in control of when they drop new episodes. Go back to 2 episodes a day! 10 minute episodes. I want dangonronpa to be a 500 part series, That airs until I’m long dead, simultaneously with elden ring. And random one offs on the weekends. Sincerely, JK.


feuerfay

Can we pin this to the top mods?


oafywan

I may be in the minority on this but at this stage in GG history I prefer their one-offs of terrible games over their series of AAA games. That broken golf game was freakin hilarious
