BATTLING our DEMONS Lmao - Doom 

Arin: “This is too much to remember!” Dan: “It’s one concept.” Game Grumps dynamic in a nutshell

Satirical fiction writer Terry Pratchett once said of Doom “mankind has tried banishing demons through rituals, holy water, and prayer; but until today no one has thought of using a shotgun. Eat lead hellspawn.”

“DOOM is a MOOD spelled backwards.” Never have I heard words I never knew I needed to hear.

There's a million and one theories out there as to how the story plays out, but from what I've seen from all the games put together it kinda comes out to this: -DoomGuy was sent to space for putting his CO in the hospital, and wanted to put him as far away from the guy as possible. -During his time at UAC a portal opens up and he is a lone survivor who kills everything, closes the portal and saves the galaxy. -He goes home (whether by hell or spacecraft is unknown) only to find out that Demons have opened a portal there and exact revenge on him by killing his pet rabbit, Daisy. -After keeping her "unlucky foot" to remember innocence lost, he goes to Hell and locks them inside with him, deciding to make Hell his new summer home. -He travels through different dimensions, and even goes back through time. He becomes a Night Sentinel. And because he's so badass, they appoint him as their leader. -Somewhere along the line, there are ancient entities that get their power siphoned by some sect of assholes. A "Wretch" turns its back on them and upgrades Doomguy's armor to make him even more of a badass. -He then goes off and wrecks everyone's shit even harder. A Titan is either born or created specifically to try and match Doomguy, but goes down like everything else. -Doomguy is finally baited by hell priests in a last-ditch attempt to pacify him by bonking him over the head with a building and lock him away in a tomb for as long as they could. -Once awoken from his sarcophagus, he strolls through the the Mars facility thinking "Aw shit, here we go again." -Now he just spends his time leisurely destroying all signs of Hellish corruption, whether it's in Hell, Heaven, the Sun, you name it. so TL:DR - Once upon a time a man got angry. He got SO angry that everyone died. The End.

Doomguy: dies and goes to hell Satan: *chuckles* I'm in danger

“Yeah so my first experience with a high person was that they were really interested in obscure things only I was interested in” *Arin acknowledges one of the key types of Grumps viewers*

The flawless transition into the song at 32:20 shows both the great editing and the fact that these two are, in fact, professional musicians

32:22 I can officially die happy 🥰😂

"Demon of Hell" "Hell Demon" Looking up official name... "Pinky"

the progression of LAN party games: -doom -quake -unreal tournament -halo -please create a Bethesda online account

29:00 I was hoping/fearing they would deliver an ear-piercing screech when doing an impression of Matt

“There’s gotta be a way!” SPRINT GOD DAMN YOU

“Gib” is just an abbreviation of Giblets. Giblets as a term for chunks of meat

"This is where we they make the Phobos" Oh sweet, they must have great riffs

Playing Doom, on Switch, without using the run button, mispronouncing gib, getting enemies' names wrong... Oh Arin... My boy... I still love you ❤️

For anyone wondering what triggers that ledge on the second level, it was going up the stairs. There is an invisible switch the lowers the platform, but Arin does not know how to run (usually shift). Getting on top of the little ledge, you can open a secret door to the blue defiant powerup boy.

I remember being 6 years old and watching my dad play this game and then he would sit back and show me how to play. Such great bonding time. ☺️

There are four types of hidden doors in Doom: Some you open the way you would activate a door. Some only open (and for a limited amount of time) when you cross a specific threshold on the map. Some only open when you press a button. And the last ones only open if you shoot/hit the hidden door.

"are you seriously asking me DOOM questions? The last time I played this was 1994!" Ah, jeez. 25 years came and went so fast.

"Weren't they trying to summon aliens when there was a meltdown..?" That's the plot to the first Half Life, Dan :p

krampus backwards is "sup, mark"

Oh man, this brings me back. Sitting at my friend Chris's house, blasting Green Day's "Dookie" on repeat and playing Doom all day on rainy summer days. Hell yeah

Funspot in New Hampshire still exists!! We were there summer 2019. Still advertises as the worlds largest arcade. Awesome place full of hundreds of machines everywhere. I love it.

“We’ve still got like, two minutes.” (More than fifteen minutes left in the video)

Spelling Bee Announcer: Arin Hanson, your word is “excite.” Arin: E-Y-E; excite :D

The one thing I remember from the doom novels is the zombies smell like juiced lemons. So you know just take that little useless nugget to your next gamer get together.

"IT'S JUST ONE'A THOSE DAYS!" Oh sweet, I miss Devil's Third. :3

doom 1 lore: you are a space marine in mars suddenly a team of scientists discover a new form of energy but they didn't know it was coming from hell. the portal to hell opens and kills all your marine friends. You set out to escape mars and go to hell and go back to earth doom 2 lore: you get back to earth and find your pet bunny daisy dead and all of your friend and family dead. You seek revenge on the demons.

When Arin said “curious,” I thought to myself, “bicurious,” and then Dan said “bicurious,” and I was satisfied

"That's a very 90s type plot" *has this man not seen John Wick*

That genuine, “.. ... . .. What the hell is that?” from Dan is possibly one of my favorite things

DOOM 1: Kill Demons. DOOM 2016: Kill demons. But there’s some lore if you care. DOOM Eternal: Kill Angel and Demons. With some lore. If you care.

Remember when this game was considered the devil’s handiwork?

Dan: Why were people upset? Arin: Because it's like Doom And I used to own it on a floppy disk ... Dan: Ohhh so You are upset. Dan is a national treasure

Arin: Sees enemy Also Arin: Gets within 5 feet of enemy before shooting it

When they were talking about the blue key, all I could think about was Arin's meltdown in Mario Sunshine. "BLUE COIN SHMOO COIN" Lol

"Doom is a mood spelled backwards." Sounds a lot more profound than it should.

The grumps playing doom is probably the best thing I've ever found that I can casually listen/watch while doing something else. It's intense and relaxing at the same time.

I watched doom annihilation and I was just sitting there like: "I don't think this is right" for the entire movie

I enjoy Danny saying "I've never heard of this before" in regards to gibbing when it's been talked about on a previous episode (I wish I could remember which one specifically). with all the things they cover in episodes I'm not faulting him at all for not remembering one small tangent. it's just an interesting situation how a stranger can remember a conversation you've had that you don't remember.

"Tis the season of gibbing" Santa with the BFG

Everyday I learn more and more from the grumps “if u can’t handle me at spookiest then u don’t deserve me at my doodyest” that’s a life lesson right there

I feel like the most important part of this episode is learning that Danny and Ashley are living together. Now that's a DOOM spelled backwards.

"You're in peril, Darryl! Blow up the barrel!" Were they just possessed by Pete Holmes?

Love DOOM. Love that the Christian far-right accused DOOM of turning kids into Satanists when in actuality you're playing a space marine killing demons. So you're basically doing God's work 🤣

This reminds me of being 8 years old, standing silently next to my brother while he played Doom, waiting for it to be my term to use the computer so I can play the Berenstain Bears interactive storybook CD-ROM.

“It’s Christmas time, it’s time for gibbing.” Great hahaha.

So the giant pink demon is literally called "Pinky". And the two with similar names you were talking about are "Hell Knight" and the "Baron of Hell".

14:07 "I'm running." You're not, actually. I do seem to remember there being a run button to go faster.

The fact that he's not running makes me super uncomfortable

Arin made the poorest explanation i've ever heard XD "People didn't like it" "Why didn't they like it?" "Well you see how much faff i went through?" "So YOU don't like it" "No, people didn't like it cause, whatever it's just doom" "People didn't like it cause whatever it's just doom" -Arnold Harnold 2020

i used to watch my dad play this when i was little, though i was scared and hid behind him as i watched lol

“Doom is a mood” Danny- 2020

I loved Arin’s high friend story. I used to have a roommate who would get drunk on occasion and if even the thought of the Matrix came into his mind he would talk about the conspiracy theories for 2 hours.

Deep inhale: WRESTLE WITH JIIIMMY

Arin: I'm really really good at doom Also arin: *doesn't know how to run*

"Those demons are into S&M." *stares in impse*

FYI: Funspot in NH is still open. I went a few years ago, still lots of fun!

Dan's constant roasting of Arin in this episode is so funny lmao

Dan: "Shotgun BANG! what's up with that thang?" Me: "I got that reference. Salt N' Peppa would be proud."

4:59 that's Doom II''s plot. In Doom I you're just some rando marine that was in the base on Mars at the time of the demonic kerfuffle. Doom II is when you get back to earth and find out that the demons killed your bunny so you decide to fight them all the way to hell.

“If I was twelve I would’ve been scared” I watched the vid I knew you were scared dan.

Me, giggling at 3 am: hehehe *darryl the barrel*

I was so proud of them for discovering the 15:13 secret most players miss - if only he'd known about running!

2:30 - Gibbing is pronounced with a soft G, i.e. "jibbing.". It's derived from 'giblets' which are the inner organs of the chicken or turkey that they stuff back into the body cavity. When a body is blown apart, it's reduced to giblets, or gibs. It's been gibbed. See also Ludicrous Gibs @ TV Tropes which is when someone blows up into more parts than they contained, like two skulls, three ribcages, and a thigh.

Dan: Sounds like you said the word Blooky. Arin: Blooky the dog! Napstablook: Not really feeling up to it today...

as someone who lives in NH I can confirm funspot is still alive and well

"I'm going as fast as I can!" -Arin Hanson, not knowing about the run button.

Hearing Arin be so certain of himself and make fun of things that he is wrong about just reminds me of hanging out with really pretentious friends

Arin's impression of Matt is literally Matt's impression of Brent

Fun fact, there are canonically 70% less demons in hell because doom guy killed them all.

Haha... When I wish I could tell a DOOM player they've been walking the whole time.

Wait, Dan said "our house" when discussing Ashley. They're living together now? Dizzamn!

“I’m like a spinny yarn of good vibes” -Danny Sexbang 2020

Having recently gone back to playing all the classic era Doom games and re-learning so much about it, then listening to Arin remember every little fact half-wrong and still acting like a guru is making my nose bleed :D

What the hey? Jeepers? Dang it? Hush your tone! You guys need some censorship....

Dan, a poet: man, that shotgun go *bang.* waddup with that *thang?*

I feel like Arin has never actually watched a baseball game

Being a space marine isn't a retcon. The story is in the manual. You don't find out your pet bunny is dead until you get back to earth at the end. Him being angry about his bunny being dead and going on a conquest of vengeance is the second game.

"Do you know the plot?" "Of Doom, well wasn't there some kind of meltdown..."? To be fair, every great story ever told starts with a meltdown.

I love how this so far is just "stop and appreciate these demons we're blasting apart" It's like this is a historical documentary about demon racism

Gibbing with a _soft_ "G" as in Gem. It's a term referring to the "Gibbing Sequence" of an enemy's death. Or to put it bluntly, when the Giblet's fly everywhere cause' you used an RPG.

I love going on RU-vid where anything that has to do with demons there’s always one comment. Doom guy: **heavy breathing**

The most scuffed thing in the world is that the DOOM comic was Mormon themed DoomGuy relevantly quotes the book of revelation

Man this takes me back! my dad use to play this all the time and he'd beat everything and then he'd give me the remote to play, but i could never play it because the music scared me so I'd hold the remote and just stare at the un moving screen for ten minutes lol.

Doom On easy Without running With a gamepad Mood

Doom Guy killing all the demons because of his dead bunny was Doom 2

I thought gib was short for gibblets. Like with a J sound

As a veteran doom player, this playthrough makes me happy and mad... mappy. im glad youre playing my favorite game though Arin

Dan is not a true believer of the “Russel my Jimmies Ape.”

I love how this goes immediately into Doot memes. Would love to see you two play Skull Tag

"Doom is a mood spelled backwards." - Avidan, Dan. 2020 What an awesome, lovely way to begin 2020 ^_^

Anyone else want to see the grumps play doom eternal

5:00 Doomguy doesn't know about his bunny's death until the end of the first game. It's on the win-screen. Making it the reason he kills demons in the second game. In the first game Doomguy's just a badass who was sent to mars.

Omg, that Limp Bizkit bit had me rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling

They didn't retcon the lore of it being a research base that opens a portal to hell. I'm 90% sure it's in the old manual as well as in the scenario completion lore screens

"What is a waldorf, anyway!? A walnut that's gone off!?"

No one: Arin: "oh word"

Dan and Arin’s rendition of Break Stuff was actually incredible.

"An invisible beast!" sounded like Ghouls and Ghosts Arin all over again.
