Gradual Burning Regret | Monopoly ft. Matt Mercer [ROUND 14-1] 

Omg it'll never happen

Lol once again, so close

Oh my god!! 🤣

It was meant to be

Another chapter is written in his tragedy!! 🤣🤣🤣

lol

Now that you mention it... They do have somewhat similar voices. Matt literally sounds like his voice could be a character that Arin was doing.

That would be the absolute greatest troll move.

Or was it Matt just doing an Arin voice??? Who was real?????

Bold of you to assume that every episode of Game Grumps isn't just Arin doing a Dan voice.

Ya gotta know how the game is played to hate it properly

Most commonly landed on unless you're hard AI.

Their is a lot of strategy, actually....

@@bretfrench1228 Roll-and-move board games are on the extremely low end of the strategy scale when it comes to games. There's a lot more strategy in Yahtzee than Monopoly. It's only because Monopoly has a negotiation element tacked on that keeps it from being straight Chutes And Ladders level of insipid. In comparison, Matt probably had a D&D game the other night where the players tried at least a handful of crazy things that aren't covered in the thousand-plus pages of rules for his edition of the game. You know those memes with an increasingly posh-looking Pooh? If Monopoly is like that image file, a tabletop RPG is like actually going to a university and earning an academic degree. There are so many good board games out there. Monopoly was invented as an educational punishment, and its poisonous tree bears only vile fruit.

@@googiegress who bankrupt you? Your brother? Get over yourself and if you werent a total idiot, than you can see the strategy... theirs also different house rules... stop comparing the game to others as a base for what defines strategy just because you dont like the game....

I can hear his voice

Except he just said he hasn't seen this

When Arin Hanson tells u not to go that far, then you know you're sounding crazy

Finally, someone makes a joke that weirds Arin out. Granted, as someone who watches vtubers... That's a pretty mild joke that Arin thinks is a bit much.

“Lets not go that far” says the man who has ruined the word “completion” for me

Oh Arin's said way worse on the show. Especially when he freaks out over a game.

I love how normally Dan is the one being weirded out by Arin's pushing of the comfort envelope on comedy, but here the roles are reversed and it's Arin put in that position for once lol

Proof Matt fudges his dice rolls

TTRPG dice use Arabic numbers, not dots.

@@RabblesTheBinx 'Tis true. I'd hate to count pips in the tiny triangles of a d20.

In Matt's defense, the numbers aren't normally pips.

At least it was Arin rolling for him and not Will Wheaton

He did pick the same piece though.

Not a great chance when he keeps making objectively bad decisions. But a chance still.

It's so true any time they play monopoly Dan just Humiliates Arin. Unless of some dumb fluke deal.

Matt's german?

And we are not gonna get into why is that

I think it's funnier as "so I'm gonna be the _gold_ bear..." with the implied "who cares about all that dreary stuff, what whimsical piece do you wanna be?"

This guy and his friends literally make a living playing a game they enjoy and he complains about capitalism? People are strange.

@@Erebus66 You complain about capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious! I am very intelligent.

@@lilepdude at no point did his post complain about capitalism.

@@bazzfromthebackground3696 I'm well aware, thanks

There will never be a chance so long as they keep setting an AI to hard. The game literally rigs rolls for them to crush you.

*Immediately downloads and starts playing

Matt: HE SOMEHOW MADE ME ENJOY MONOPOLY?!!? I'M SCARED TO GO BACK!!!

They both have such peaceful energy, but Dan plays rough with Arin like a cat with their best friend.

Yeah I miss Dan… this guy sucks

@@e2eky1e Pffft I appreciate the reference to post-Jon era rage

[insert Road to El Dorado gif]

@Daniel Maldonado hello, Negative Nancy

@Daniel Maldonado That you are a very negative person and that he hopes your day gets better. :)

@@resileaf9501 or not, since he spams a lot of negative comments into multiple comments.

ally was basically the guest in the project zomboid episode. She more or less taught arin how to play the game.

I'm saving that sound byte. For uh, purposes.

@@FabbrizioPlays💀

omg wait if you could explain what they meant that would be great i'd love to know what they're on about

I already loved Matt. That like made me love him even more.

@@SomeOfTheJuice That and the "So we're gonna share gamer goo? 😏"

To be fair, most of the Critical Role crew are masters of comedic timing lol. Imagine if he had Sam on lol. If he had Liam and Laura on they would totally take over the show for however many episodes they were on lol.

@@KumaChrisVT My god... Arin and Sam as a comedy duo... I don't think the world could handle that kind of chaos...

Matt as third grump

I laughed super hard, but like, I couldn't figure out why I was laughing so hard. It really caught me off guard.

Where is it. I must have missed it the first time and I just can't find it xD

@@shioIna you skipped the ad in the first minute, didn't you?

@@shioIna Its the commercial at the start :p

And it’s only made funnier by the episode it precedes

Love the throw back

This but unironically

It was genuinely off putting, I had no idea Mercer was such a friggin' commie. I sort of like him less now

@@princeblackelf4265 coward

@@princeblackelf4265 Sucks to be you, it made me like him even more

29:25

@@jesterlol69 Thank you

Is that... is that the sound of a hundred fanfictions being born?

I mean, have you SEEN Laura Bailey's antics on CR?

@@bionicdragon5 She doesn't even have to say anything, all it takes is a glance now (see: the Cellebone)

The voice is truly majestic

Same! Man, that *really* got me

It's so nice seeing Dr. Cecil get the respect he deserves. He gets so much hate from the lovelies.

@@RabblesTheBinx I mean he did force Arin to help promote his book.

@@PatLund well, yeah, but nobody hates him for _that._ lt's all about that stupid, nonsensical conspiracy theory that Dr. Cecil is just Arin in a bad wig and makeup doing a funny voice. Which is, of course, absurd. I mean, they don't even look alike and Dr. Cecil keeps mispronouncing "Egoraptor", for crying out loud. It's almost as absurd as that one about Dan Avidan and Danny Sexbang being the same person.

hahahahaha!

Yea Matt gelled so well, now we just need Dan on too. i thoroughly enjoyed this tbh!

Right? Not only is he a wonderful sweetheart, Arin and Matt have. SUCH phenomenal chemistry.

Have you seen Critical Role? his group of friends have a very similar sense of humor and they are all masters of comedic timing lol, he probably didn't even dip a toe out of the comfort zone lol.

@@KumaChrisVT can you imagine Sam and Arin together? I'd never stop laughing.

You had 420 likes on your comment and I ruined it. I'm sorry.

Arin: "This game of monopoly is sponsored by Gamer Goo!" Matt: [Vietnam flashback sequence]

@@bionicdragon5 the gamergooverse, blackwillow69 will have their revenge

Matt: (on reflex) “oh no what stupid shit does Sam have planned this week?” Matt: “wait…it’s not Thursday yet”

Matt Mercer is if a professional Craps player were a creative.

I laughed so hard, I had to rewind it and watch it again.

I still love the Pumatt SWOLE part XD

Second Pumatt Sol: "I too will crush your trachea"

Third Pumatt Sol: "I, myself, will also crush your trachea"

Fourth Pumat Sol: "I can, if you do not mind, gift wrap your broken trachea"

Based!

Art imitates life imitates art imitates, my dude

The story of this game is always going to be hilarious and depressing

Wow you are so wrong. She wasn't making a point about capitalism at all. She was making a point about property taxes. You're not even close. Also capitalism is the best option that can actually exist in the real world.

@@millargates4723 She was promoting Georgism, which is in direct contrast to capitalism. And why do you believe capitalism is not only the best that does exist, but the best that *can* exist?

I hope Matt has seen the animated somebody did of that story!

Thats the same animated where dan keeps just barely NOT meeting matt mercer… suddenly when matts finally on the show, dans sick… *CONSPIRACY*

Nice coat

@@welcome2myhappyworld he did, he tweeted about it back then ,I believe.

This comment is even more relevant when you hear the last second of the video

Yeah, it was kind of hilarious to see Matt get both utilities, get bounced around the board by community chest/chance cards, earning GO money and picking up half the properties on the board without even giving it a second thought, and then Arin gets hit with the de facto Income-Tax-Right-After-GO move.

Like as a murder hobo kenku?

Yasss

Ideal.

He’ll play Fabricio or Randall Stevenson

capitalism in a nutshell.

Our Utilities.

@@comradeconnolly4538 no comrade, ourtilities.

I see why he and brennan get along

imagine when he finds out Monopoly Socialism exists

@@leonardoluiss02 does it ?

I didn't expect so many other critters in this comment section, here's one more

So you say you’re a Lovely Critter so to speak (as are many of us including me. I am so hyped for tmr)

fellow Lovely Critter here, when i saw this pop up i was screaming quietly at work.

Same here, I was on mental overload between "FINALLY he gets a guest so he will stop venting into the void!" and "Oh gorsh, that's Matt. That's Matt! THAT'S MATT!"

Hello fellow Critters!! We all pumped for tomorrow?? (Jan. 28th 2022, for peoples from the future).

he does funny dnd show called critical role with his buddies. their 3rd campaign just recently started and it's great so far. you should check it out!

if youve seen jojo's bizarre adventure, he is the voice of jotaro in the english dub also mcree from overwatch

@@alexbrant5820 and he was Leon in resident evil

@@709mash he was also the flight instructor in Ace Combat 5

He’s also Kanji Tatsumi & Yusuke Kitagawa from the Persona games, as well as Zato-1 from Guilty Gear

Makes sense to have him on the show. Arin works well with guys he is vaguely attracted to!

@@KingOfDoma lol. vaguely. ;)

"Vaguely" Riiiiiiiight

And Dan talking about how he NEVER gets to meet Matt.

@@MikeJF85 and just so happens to be sick the day matt is on 0.0

lmao

I can hear it in his voice XD

@@zichithefox4781 Yeah, I can hear the all the intonations perfectly :P

... are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?

Matt Mercer but he's constantly shape shifting into all thr characters he's most famous for voicing across games and animation throughout the whole thing.

Yeah he’s definitely a woke leftist.

I’m so glad I always m are sure to listen to the quiet after credits lmao

As the racist uncle. I'm the only reason it's bearable.

@@789syrus789 Wouldn't both major parties hate their racist uncle...?

Yep, definitely a comment someone who lives in Los Angeles and thinks they are better than everyone else would say. Critical Role cast loves their virtue signaling humble brags.

"Both? both, both is good."

I was confused at first cause I thought Arin left and there was just two matts

@Phawnix that could be it. or matt does arins voice arin could be doing matts voice.

I legit thought the same thing for a minute but they kinda sound similar.

“Ugh, why do you fuckin’ smell like that?” “The goo.” “What?” “What?”

Yeah, he's always so like... intent on ensuring the show is as good as it can possibly be (for CritRole), so his energy is totally different. It's so awesome to see him just relax and hang out and play a game he hates with a buddy

As DM it's his job to keep things on track, now he can let loose.

Yes please. Exandria preferred.

I miss dragons and places

It would be amazing on stream and/or with face cam

@Daniel Maldonado you first

@Daniel Maldonado What context am I missing here...?

There's some curiosity in there too. Like when you see someone eat something that only looks kind of edible but they still enjoy it.

@@kaitlynwickham6237 my cousin eats grass and bugs

@@shalkonon013 bro you don't get it he eats like big ass tarantulas and scorpions and cockroaches. sometimes he'll throw them on a pan and fry it in oil or just straight up eat them alive. dudes a fucking freak i keep telling him to stop but he literally refuses.

@@shalkonon013 yeah dude i haven't even got into the actually gross stuff. he uses those glue traps for flys that you hang from the ceiling and when they get nice and full he'll scrape them off, wash off the glue, and eat them like little raisins or use them as "seasoning" the guy is a sick bug eating fuck

First Matt, then that.

First Matt, then that.

First Matt, then that.

Oh yeah when he threw the paper and it smacked him in the eye! 😂

Game Grumps is slowly going to become a Critical Role company with Matt as the Ultimate Gamer. Arin as the Video Game Boy. And Dan Avidan as himself.

Darin Merdan

I actually learned a few things, didn't know it was first conceptualized by a woman. ~The more you know~

So Arin chose the Golden Bear.

@@NWolfsson It was also a pretty shitty game to play compared to modern monopoly as it functioned more as an art piece than an actual game. The whole story that monopoly was some kind of "stolen" game ignores that the rules where almost completely rewritten. The Landlords game also wasn't some "anticapitalist" game as often is touted as by armchair socialist and people that parrot them. Rather is a critique of how taxation (and by and large still is) handled, arguing in favour of a Georgian model (tax payment based on land ownership rather than tax payment based on wealth and consumption). And a single tax system would still be capitalist in nature as it works on the presumption of the ownership of private property.

@@relo999 by enlarge? If you're gonna make weird commentary no one cares about at least get your turns of phrase right. By and large.

@@TenzinBeifongIII Computer! Enlarge!

yeah the Vox Machina show came out today and i can't get my devices to cooperate and let me watch it so I'm watching this as consolation and Matt is making me feel so much better!

You can't eat principles. Capitalism makes sure of it.

BRUH 🤣

NFT aren't even capitalism. It's just a straight up ponzi scheme.

@@stevenclark5173 Most capitalistic endeavors are ponzi schemes.

@@DalionHeartTTV I disagree, respectfully.

2012 Golden Kanji really is Better than 2008 Kanji

ok.

You should watch Talks Machina! The episodes where he's on, he's much like this. Very relaxed, very much just himself, chattin' with friends. It's still a *little* more put-on when compared to this, but not by much. There are several Talks Machina episode where Matt will literally just lay on the couch and cuddle Liam or Taliesin or whomever while they do the Q&As lol
