+Kara Argus I'm from (and in) Florida, and I've seen tetherball in Florida; and a tetherball once slammed into my head... I got so embarrassed, I fell on the ground and stayed there, pretending to be dead. I don't like sports.
I think the first time he ever brought it up was in Super Mario Sunshine. He also mentions it in Wind Waker, and here. If it's true he's also mentioned it in Katamari and Dog Island (I don't remember him talking about it in Katamari, and I haven't watched Dog Island) then I genuinely question how good of a friend Arin must be. Five fucking times hearing Danny's most inspiring, interesting, and deeply personal story and he NEVER remembers it.
This is a game based off of a book of the same name. Said book also has a counterpart called "Daring Book for Boys". Now, don't take my word on this, but I believe that the female version of the book is essentially the same as the male - just with pictures of the appropriate gender depending on the version and slightly tweaked tips ("How to Be Friends With Boys" instead of "How to be Friends With Girls", little things like that). From what I remember of it, the book wasn't sexist at all. It didn't encourage you to sit around and have tea parties, you could build your own scooter, get familiar with a toolbox, pull pranks...I think what I liked the most was that if you *were* a girl who wanted to have tea parties, the book didn't shame you for that, just gave more tips on tea preparation or whatever. There are many ways to be a girl, and the book really reflects this, not shaming the individual female for what she wants. I hope the male version did the same thing.
ForlornSolutions Depends on how you're encouraging it, really. There's a difference between "it's okay to like tea parties" and "you have to like tea parties", even if it's subtle.
pencilstreak9 lol the fuck. subtle is bullshit. you can tell a toddler "you have to like tea parties" and they can grow up not liking tea parties still you moron.
I was really hoping this was gonna turn into some dark shit. I mean, it's just perfect. The unsettling blank stares, the little knowledge bubbles could easily turn darker and darker, the girl that says "I could swing like this forever!"... God I wanted nothing more than for it to take a downward spiral into insanity.
My aunt once got me the book version titled "The daring book for girls" or something. I remember at the end it told you how to cross Niagara falls on a tightrope. It also taught you what a will was and how to write one. I remember one sentence wrote "You should make a will for everything you own so that the people you love know who gets what in case anything happens to you!" With smiley faces.
λ Seth of the Stλrs No, I don't think acquainting children with the reality of death when involved in daring activities like crossing the Niagara is evil. They're making them aware of their actions without trying to deter them from actually being daring.
If I recall correctly, the original Daring / Dangerous Book for Girls / Boys was about getting kids to go outside and learn how to do outside things, like treehouse building, hopscotch and chalk games, pitching tents, etc. So they made a video game where you stay INSIDE while you play as a creepy-faced child who plays OUTSIDE. Defeats the purpose of the original books, don't you think?
we dont this is game is probably the one of the most shitty games for the wii but then again im not a fan of the wii im more a PlayStation person so meh
Me and my sister (who sent the game) actually played a lot of this game when he got it from a friend. Not gonna lie...we got far...but tis complete shit
I got the Dangerous Book for Boys for a Christmas present once, all it was was "how to tie knots" and "what to do in case you're trapped on Mount Everest with no food". Really horrible
Anyone else want a Game Grumps IRL? Some fun ideas could include watching Danny and Arin play Tether Ball, Danny, Arin, and Barry throwing dodge balls at Ross, and a nice round of mini golf.
Because that's what the game companies think were into, especially if you're 8 or 13. Before the female gaming prospered like it did today gaming companies tried to allure they're female audiences with these games and believe it or not some girls played these games.
***** Not just game companies, television, too. Often, people making stuff for kids operate under the misconception that all you need to entertain young girls is sparkly pink fashion(preferably with no plot, because everyone knows kids can't understand a story). Young boys get mud, toilet humor, gross sounds and other disgusting stuff because of that reason.
It's pretty sad to be honest, I wish the media was more open minded with entertainment for children, just because it's a girl doesn't mean make everything sparkly and pink and just because it's a boy doesn't make everything gross and dirty. Let the girl like cars and let the boy like fashion.
HikingWorm so it has doctors, equipment and treatment and insurance at a decent rate It's better than what the AHCA has to offer which is just a note that says "try not to be poor and walk it off"
Welp, here I am again. I'm now drinking Mountain Dew. I made it through the whole video, but I laughed at some parts and almost choked. So now I'm brushing my teeth, trying to get the taste out of my mouth.
Frankenstein's creation is named Frankenstein. The fact that he was never given a name means that he has no _given_ name. He'd still inherit the surname Frankenstein from his "father."
This is one of the funniest episodes in a while, I was laughing at something new every 10-15 seconds. You know why? because Arin gave this game more attention and thought than Dark Souls II. And that's sad.
ShadoAnnaru NOT YOU AGAIN. I get it pretty much every time I comment on a popular video, regardless of whether it makes any sense at all. The worst thing is, just as it started dieing down, YOU came along and brought it back from the dead. bit.ly/1lpWrO3 These were all within the same week. It's unbelievable. That one guy got 174 thumbs up like he recited a bloody George Carlin bit.
7:30 there must have been a mass sale on those green shirts. I also like how all the boys in the games are confined in a playground blocked off with a metal gate.
alright, so 98% of GG videos make me laugh way too hard, but this one had me crying. good lord. who knew adding a loud "GIRL!" to every bit of dialogue could make it that much better. and the running sfx they did at 4:25 ruined me because it's all I could hear in my head anytime she ran.
I'm a total GoGo Gurl and can verify that this is 100% real. This is the window into our world so let me be the first to welcome you to hell...know my suffering. Save me.
I guess its probably 50% or 60% accurate to a normal grade 4/5/6 girls life (im in neither of those grades btw) but to my life, its 0% accurate. cuz all I do all day is sit in my chair watching youtube and eating, whilst being antisocial and socially anxious.
1:35 HOW THE HECK CAN YOU HAVE A NEW HOMETOWN? Isn't the purpose of saying HOMETOWN saying where you originally came from? You can't change it! Or maybe I use it differently than other people do? ... Okay, I'll leave now. Don't hate.
Well my opinion is that you can have two hometowns, but it has to happen a certain way. Like you grow up to about 2nd or 3rd grade and then move to a new place. So you would be young enough to consider two places where you come from and have two cultures influence how you act. But yeah, it is hard to have two hometowns like you said >.>
GameOver96 hmm, I can see that. In a way, though,that's almost like not having any hometown lol. This game, it must have been made in a different culture and language, and been poorly made into an American version, right? I hope so!
me andI True, it could be viewed that way as well, but for someone who had that happen to them it is sort of a saddening thought :P And the last part you said is probably true, it was probably meant to say something like "Go take a look around your new home" or something like that with a word that meant "Home(Town)"(rather then "Home(house)")
I live in America and have moved around my whole life. Because of that I have had many homes so I view my hometown as the town my home is in, maybe that's just cus I'm basicly a gypsy but home has become a very flexible term to me.
I don't care how many Super Mario Galaxy's exist, the Wii will go down as one of the worst consoles in history thanks to shit games like this one taking up 90% of its library.
Rio Sutcliffe allright here we go lets compare wii to playstation 3 so the playstation had 1026 games so according to metacritic 752 of those games are good (i counted good as 7 a score of 7 or higher ) and fucking half of those have bad user rating scores. Allright so the wii according to my calculations has 450 games ( according to metacritic) ok so around 200 of those are good.... eh seems you were right there's also probably a shit ton of games that weren't released in murica europe or wherever you're from so......... not the worst tho
Wow... that game's title annoys me right off the bat, this is going to be some pink aisle gendered marketing "girls can only do these things and never like what boys like!" bollocks. Oh hey, Arin said what I was thinking around the 40-second mark, I feel good about this video now. Bloody hell those dead-eyed Bratz doll homunculi... please make it stop mommy...
I think you're reading too much into it. Its title is based on "The Daring Book for Girls" which is a popular book series. The "boy" series is called the Dangerous Book for Boys. I don't know why you have a problem with it. It's just a book series marketed to girls. So what?
Beardog It's the implication behind it that we need to split off kids based on gender and present them with specific approved tasks of daring and/or danger, rather than just letting kids discover what calls to them regardless of whether it's traditionally been considered masculine or feminine, this game is just one more symptom of that out-dated philosophy of preparing boys for boy jobs and girls for girl jobs. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's still embarrassing and annoying.
leviadragon99 to be fair, Ive read both books and while i would recommend a child of either gender read both of them, there's not much of a gender difference. The Daring book for girls taught me how to skin a wallaby :)
leviadragon99 We need to split off kids based on gender? I don't know if you remember being _that_ age, but the world around you pretty much becomes gendered at that point. You start becoming sexually mature and your identity is basically changing and yes, gender has a lot to do with it. I don't think you've ever read that book, take a look at its contents. It's about girls becoming more comfortable being independent. Also, this game is just dime-a-dozen shovelware that was made because some dev got the license.
This game is based off the actual book of The Daring Book For Girls. And there's one called the Dangerous Book For Boys. I remember my brother getting the boy one a while back.
“We know you’ve been dreaming about a big adventure ever since you read The Daring Book for Girls, so we have a deal for you. Go explore your new hometown, make new friends, and try some of the things you’ve read about in your book.” Arin: *”W h A t B o O k??”*
The moment I saw the title of this one, I immediately paused the video at the start and made a sandwich 'cos I just knew this one was gonna be gold. I was totally right. XDD Video of Arin and Danny playing R/L tether-ball PLEASE.
Slinkman2021 Even though they are down in negative profits right now, they hardly need that money to stay afloat. Nintendo is a company that is VERY well off in cash due to their previous successes.
This is the episode that got me hooked on gamegrumps, and I don't regret a thing. I remember just going through RU-vid, seeing this in the suggested, remembering I've heard of gamegrumps, and then curiously clicking. I remember liTeraLLy almost pissing myself from laughing. I love to come back to this episode every once and a while. I also watched it with my really close cousin, and everything with him is sentimental. I'm so happy gamegrumps is one of those sentimental memories. This is hecka sappy but gamegrumps will always hold a special place in my heart. I could go on, but it'll take forevER.
Arin: 'I'm so good at slide-puzzles.' *like less than one single minute later* Arin: 'I can't fucking do this, it's hard as shit! Slide puzzles are like the worst ever!'
i have to ask, is there a single science or tech related minigame, activity or something in this game? i think that should be the strongest point of this game if it really want to "empower woman"
I was on the bus today with my friend, and we weren't even talking about anything to do with GameGrumps, but all of the sudden I thought of "THAT'S WHY THEY CALL HIM LIGHTINING LARRY!" and snorted. My friend was confused, but I just brushed it off... _Why must I be like this...?_
