Seeing other RU-vidrs make the drinks in literal seconds then watching Arin take 35 minutes to make 3 orders, cuss out the customers, and need a walkthrough to put away milk was truly an experience xD.
@@RustyNips Arin being a Capricorn absolutely shows well in this video. I'm also a cap and the amount of mental cursing I do (and sometimes verbally oops) is unreal
Really need see that part in an animated I could see Dan just standing nearby and a bunch of customers just watching arin running around back and forth and crawling around
Just the whole idea of watching a barista fumble and scream while making your drink, constantly going to be back room and coming back. Carrying a piece of pie.
The amount of "we should pause this episode," "I'm a fucking idiot!" and the half dozen cuts within the first few minutes alone really paint a true Game Grumps picture.
Imagining Arin anxiously stumbling around behind the counter, every kitchen implement in his arms, trying to get the blender cup full of ice at the right angle to connect to the blender, quietly saying "fuck" to himself every five seconds, as I patiently watch him slowly get my order wrong
Aly (Allie? Idk) getting indignant about Arin calling espresso "coffee" while Arin stubbornly insists it's coffee and Dan Googling it to keep the peace has made my day.
Yeah, I was wondering why she was so insistent that it isn't coffee, since it is. You shouldn't be that passionate about being wrong. That's usually Arin and Dan's job.
@@tomanderson2709 Well it's coffee, but coffee implies drip coffee in normal parlance. It makes a world of difference... like $2000 machine and $1000 blender worth of difference.
@@tomanderson2709 she wasn't wrong. 'Coffee' refers to something specific in barista/coffee aficionado speak and espresso is NOT coffee, in the same way yogurt isn't cream.
@@undead_opera_singer yogurt is chemically different than just cream. espresso is Literally extracted from the ground coffee. not different product, only process
This isn't really a horror game for the audience; it's more of a creeping existential dread for Arin. A reminder that he should thank the gods every day he awakes and doesn't find himself in a complex, high intensity job like this.
Hearing Dan sarcastically go "Haaaappy Haaallooweeeen" in a hacky spook voice while Arin is struggling to remember to steam the milk and carrying cold apple pie in his hands is what I'm here for.
Watching Arin try to figure out how to get in the car for 5 whole minutes (which they even cut up so lord knows we’re probably looking at a half hour episode right there) really sets the bar high for this one
To be fair to Arin, that part is a common complaint when people play this game. They assume they should still be getting into their car as directed and where the giant yellow arrow is, not looking for some random dark hidden guy in amongst all the dark shadowy graphics.
man, really felt dan going "at this point it'd be a relief to get murdered", reminds me of my first few shifts at a busy drive-thru Starbucks where the supervisor was yelling at me because i added water into an iced chai latte during a morning rush and then i went to cry in the back
0:36 Dan saying "it's August" (complaining it's not the spooky season yet) has the same energy of that girl yelling at the bear destroying her kayak that "it was the end of September" (so the bear should be hibernating) 😂
@@monsterkingadversity6662 Yeah, I think that might be one of my favorite videos on the internet (I've seen Markiplier react to it, and I haven't forgotten it since then ) 😂 She pulled a "Bear Grylls Karen" (directed towards survival) 🐻 If you wanna look it up, it's titled "Black Bear Gnaws on Delta 15s Seakayak in Berg Bay, Alaska"
Just don't go anywhere Arin is the worker behind the counter, or you're in for a bad outcome. I can't even imagine what sort of trouble he'd get into trying to work a deli counter.
Him not knowing how to steam the milk was pretty eye opening to me. This whole experience was consistently painful for me and I'm not even a barista. I cant imagine how bad it would be watching this as a barista.
I'm having a great time imagining Arin working as a barista juggling 2 milk pitchers, a blender, a carton of milk, apple pie, and countless cups and lids while yelling at the customers to pick up their drinks cuz he's VERY busy right now
I like to imagine Dan as a senior coffeeshop worker and Arin being an intern. And Dan just watch Arin spiraling into coffee order confusion with apple pie in his bare hand, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??" as Dan and Ally just laughs at the corner.
@@brendanmurphy2937 i feel like coffee is just the umbrella term that all types fall under, like I wouldn't say that a latte doesn't have coffee in it but when ordering "a coffee" you would expect a drip coffee
Agreed. Though if this is supposed to be a Starbucks, he could easily mess up the ingredients if he just uses a super dark roast and adds 360ml of simple syrup with some fun colors on top.
there really is something about arin wandering around outside the coffee shop holding a carton of milk he picked up. like spiritually very relatable for some reason.
Even if this wasn't a horror game, working your first day at a coffee shop, alone, on a Monday morning, is one of the most horrific scenarios I can ever think of.
@@AzhreiVep I know, it might be the dumbest thing to have a take on. "This coffee drink isn't coffee because the coffee beans are...small, and the water is strong". Like that doesn't describe literally how coffee beans become coffee drinks. Allie has some wild takes sometimes
technically a latte is not coffee... Latte is italian for milk, if you want a 'latte' you order a Caffe Latte, people as usual just use another language incorrectly and it catches on. Order a latte in the place where the word comes from and youre just gonna get a big old glass of milk.
@@wildfirefox1she isn’t, she even made the concession that it is made of coffee in the video 😭 just because it’s a preparation that has a different name doesn’t mean it’s not coffee. That would be like saying cold brew isn’t coffee.
Love how theyre playing all the job themed indie horror games other youtubers have recently played. Now they need to play the bath house and late night mop.
The scariest thing about that is they wont put it up until January because they pre-record months before. So they probably already played them but wont post it until people have forgotten.
Just hearing Dan giggle and say “spooky scary” and “happy Halloween” while watching Arin run around frantically in the parking lot asking if he’s an idiot, well, really, it gives me life. 🎃
I never realized that the reason I thought this game was so intuitive is that I used to work as a barista. I definitely see it now that Arin struggled so much and Dan kinda knew what to do. When Arin was trying to put a cold drink in a hot cup I kept on thinking that I would probably do the same if I didn't get that dunkin donuts training forced into my head lol.
You really get different cups for different temperatures??? Damn. All the places near me just give the same flimsy, plastic-coated cardboard. Sometimes I wonder how much 3rd-degree burns are worth in court.
I was surprised when watching others play this game at how accurate it was lol, I was exactly like Arin when I first started learning how to make drinks
*Fun Barista/Coffee Facts!* - "Light Roast"* coffee has more caffeine than "Dark Roast" coffee bc the longer the beans are roasted the more caffeine is roasted out of them. Light roasts have more acidic flavors and pair with citrus snacks. Dark roasts pair well with chocolate snacks. *"Espresso"* is basically the first 20 second fall of coffee ("espresso beans" are just "coffee beans" labeled "espresso beans" as a marketing ploy bc ppl think it'll be stronger somehow). *Latte* = espresso and steamed milk (generally light foam). *Cappuccino* = Espresso and steamed milk purposely creating a good deal of foam. *Mocha* = espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate (basically latte with chocolate. the flavor "mocha" is the combination of chocolate and coffee flavors). And *Cold Brew* is a coffee made at room temperature much like making Sun Tea, where the grinds are simply soaked into the water and i personally find it the smoothest coffee~ :3
I mean espresso isn’t *just* the first few seconds of coffee as you would prepare a pour over. You hit very high pressure for the roughly 20 second period, which is why espresso shots have that beautiful creamy head. Everything else is right though
"you don't have to go home, but you can't. stay. here." depending on how you look at that song it gets depressing. personally i can't listen to Cats in the Cradle or American Pie without crying.
@@miguelnewmexico8641 I get what you say about especially Cats in the Cradle. A lot of songs like that, but that one is a big one because so much was missed out on.
having Arin deliberately watch the tutorial tapes then almost immediately forgetting everything brings me an unnatural amount of rage. what a love hate relationship i have with this channel
"Hey Billy, what was your favorite episode of Ghoul Grumps?" "I really like the one where Arin struggled with virtual coffee ingredients for a looooong time"
i do not envy that. i'd rather be employed as a living speed bag at the local boxing gym than be the guy between a caffeine addict and their daily dose.
my favorite grumps moments are when Dan goes quiet for a moment and Arin doesn't know what to do so he just keeps going through his thought journey into obscurity and Dan comes to and checks him. this has happened an innumerable amount of times over the years and its ALWAYS funny
This is a perfect game grumps animated waiting to happen, just dan arin and ally all arguing about the difference between espresso and coffee while the customers are getting impatient 😂
The scariest part about this is realizing I am doing drink training for Starbucks next week and it's going to be exactly like Arin fumbling to make an order
Watching Arin trying to figure out how to do even the most basic task has given me the worst anxiety but then he pokes Jory in the eye with his long finger and I cackled so hard it scared my baby
