My newfound love of Game Grumps has led me to JonTron's own channel. Dude's definitely the best of all the Grumps, and he has videos that, while not quite as good as Game Grumps at its absolute best, are still pretty phenomenal. Whatever the truth about JonTron's departure from Game Grumps, he clearly would have lost interest whatever the case, cause his own videos are far more lavish productions than anything Game Grumps does. And occasionally he gets a sponsor to give him the money to really do some crazy ****, like his Star Wars games series, and the videos are like little movies. He could never have been satisfied by just sitting on a couch every day and doing the same thing over and over again.


So far as I know, this is the first time JonTron and Egoraptor had been in a video together since the three or fours years that he'd left Game Grumps. Kinda epic, and the video itself is massive. This is what happens when you give a guy with talent and vision a decent amount of money to do something.




I've still only watched a small part of his time on Game Grumps, but I was still very aware of his predilection for singing even in such a short time. I always figured the dude had at least a decent singing voice, and this is proof that he in fact does. You can certainly hear him reaching for some of those high notes, but that touch of OTT showtunes cheese gives the cover an energy and sense of fun that makes it surprisingly entertaining. The animations are pretty fantastic too. I've watched this video quite a few times since last night, and it's still awesome.
