The Grumps would not be able to do full time streaming. Fact. (maybe)
So they literally just finished the skyward sword stream for the week, and there's apparently 45 minutes to an hour of the game left. The total stream time for today was like 3 hours 20 minutes (no ideas how many pauses or such between start and end), and instead of holding on for that extra hour (hour an half because it's Arin), they're ending the stream. I mean I'd wanna blame Arin, but Dan's the one calling it a day. I just don't understand how they can be so close to finishing that shit and not want to be done with it, just get that shit off their shoulders and tick it off the to do list once and for all.
To get to the point about them in no way being able to do full time streaming, streamers usually play anywhere from 5-6 hours a day (if they have a set schedule), the bigger streamers who do this shit as their only source of income, they'll stream for 8-9 hours, hell 12 if they're really in the mood to play. Now I won't say that if they've done a 5-6 or an 8-9 hour stream that they'll push it an extra hour if they only have an hour of gameplay left, because they won't, instead they'll play it tomorrow, and then play something else. But that's the thing, we aren't getting a 5-6 hour stream it was 3 hours and 20 minutes of gameplay more like 3 hours if we're being honest, how can they not push through it and finish a game, we aren't even getting a surprise continuance tomorrow so they can finish it. Instead we have to maybe wait till Tuesday or Friday (we have no idea when they're streaming because fuck schedules), to see the completion of a game. If they can't stream for 4 or even 5 hours, I doubt they could do 2 or 3 days a week of streams.
I would say maybe Arin could be a full time streamer, but really the only time he's streamed any longer than the skyward sword streams are when he did them for charity and well that doesn't count, people do stupid shit for charity.
But you know what, what really gets me about that stream ending with them being so close to finishing, is that from what we know of their schedule, they probably do fuck all, all day and get paid to do fuck all. Sure Arin might be working on something, and Dan might be working on lyrics, but when it comes to doing content for their channel (you know that main source of income), they quit just before the end on a cliffhanger.
Note: Some little tid bits, Arin never got the insect net to boost his potions so he's still using the original ones, and he hasn't got the Hylian Shield. Wanna know why he doesn't have it? Because he doesn't know how to get it. I did a 2 second google search and found out how within 3 seconds. Oh the joys of laziness.
