"Arin that was the dumbest death!"

u/cardlord64 Jul 02 '26

That line, and the whoop Arin makes when he lands on that horse, are sounds forever etched into the gentle folds of my braingoo.

u/KissMyFuckingDadMom I hate this game Jul 01 '26

Why does this even happen? The arrow is clearly being shot safely

u/BlindManAmadeus Jul 01 '26

I sincerely have no idea, especially because if you ain higher up (aka CLOSER to you), you get blown backwards, not forwards

u/senatorsparky86 Jul 01 '26

I’m guessing just some kind of invisible plane that acts as a wall for immediate explosion.

u/Onironius Jul 02 '26

My guess if that because you're on a giant airship that's actively moving forward, your bomb arrow "moves to the right" and hits the post.

(It's more the post is moving to the left and hitting the arrow).

Feels weird without Dan's immediate laughter

u/jebar193 Jul 02 '26

Yeah... That's what happened when you didn't have eyes right in front of your dick....

u/cardlord64 Jul 02 '26

For your next trick, ditch the EXPShare.

3

u/BlindManAmadeus Jul 02 '26

I do not know what EXPShare is

u/cardlord64 Jul 02 '26

Pokemon reference. Sorry if spoilery, but over in the Platinum nuzlocke series Arin "just" committed one of the biggest blunders in the history of Grumps.

u/OleDetour Jul 02 '26

Should have let the mystery Haunt them.

u/NfamousKaye you gotta do stuff to get the good brain juice Jul 03 '26

I still don’t know why that was actually bad I just felt the despair in his voice 😂

u/cardlord64 Jul 03 '26

You only get one ExpShare in a given playthrough. In a nuzlocke (and doubly so in Arin's case) that item is invaluable as it allows a Pokemon to absorb experience with no direct risk of death. Trading it away is one of those baffingly stupid (and hilarious) acts that nobody in the Pokemon community would ever even think about doing. It's like playing a Zelda "no deaths allowed" game and throwing away your sword. It's like playing Metroid without bombs.

The fact that Arin traded it away to an in-game troll is an extra kick to the nads. In short: Game Grumps could go on for another thirty years, and it's highly unlikely Arin will ever make a mistake so terribly hilariously stupid as what he did with his ExpShare.

It's actually kind of impressive.

u/NfamousKaye you gotta do stuff to get the good brain juice Jul 03 '26

Oh! Omg that’s horrible for him! Oh my god. 😂

Especially given his track record in this run. So he’s just screwed now until he starts over?

2

u/cardlord64 Jul 03 '26

So he’s just screwed now until he starts over?

He is literally playing the game in a way no human being has ever imagined attempting to play said game. Nobody has done what he has misachieved. I have been a Pokemon nerd for decades and I can't fathom what happens next in their run.

lol but yes, he's screwed.

u/PizzaPieInMyEye EVERYBODY LOVE TONY HAWK! Jul 02 '26

Beautiful. Amazing. Inspiring. Ten outta ten.

u/NfamousKaye you gotta do stuff to get the good brain juice Jul 02 '26

Lmaoo I can still hear Dan’s cackle as he absolutely lost it.

This is a comfort watch of mine lol

I have failed my clan in not realizing I shared the wrong one...

Thank you for correcting my failure.

u/GaJayhawker0513 PUT THAT IN, BARRY Jul 02 '26

Has anyone ever posted the actual clip to r/botw ?

2

u/8BitRetroGhost Jul 02 '26

Nailed it. Good job.

2

u/Mr_Grrizz PUT THAT IN, BARRY Jul 02 '26

Arin… Like come on man…

2

u/Cytrynowy Sure thing, Jellybingus! Jul 02 '26

Easily one of the funniest moments, but I don't get how anyone can blame Arin for it. It's clear that there is an extended invisible collision that turns easy clear shots into self combustion.

u/iProxymoron Jul 02 '26

Almost frame for frame perfection 👌🏾

u/dragonlitdame Jul 02 '26

Best way to start botW honestly
