As mentioned previously, the show was initially hosted by Ross and Dan, much like how Game Grumps was hosted by Arin and Jon, then later Dan. It was met initially with a lukewarm reception, due to airing the same day as Jon’s departure from Game Grumps as I mentioned above, however eventually fans accepted and appreciated the show. Steam Train was also originally planned to be its own channel/show, however Arin invited Ross to host it on Game Grumps. While the show’s title and initial concept are inspired by playing games on Steam, Ross does not limit the show to just playing Steam games, they also play DOS and indie computer games as well. Okay, now moving on to Steam Train specifically, now the idea was initially conceived by Ross more of less so he had an excuse to play all the games he has on Steam (brief side note, you can feel free to add Off the Record on Steam by following this link ) which at that point was over 300 games, and has as of December 2019 expanded to approximately 1176 products. Before we move on to talking directly about Steam Train, you can check out my Game Grumps Top 10’s for Jon era (which you find here and here ) and Dan era (which you can find here and here ) as well as my Top 10 Game Grumps moments by clicking here. Interesting little side note, his first appearance on Grumps, in the videos ‘ Ode to Jon / Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!: Around the World – PART 1 went up on the channel on the same day as his first appearance on Steam Train in the video Hotline Miami: Who’s Calling? – PART 1 (which was actually recorded several months previously) and that day was 25th June 2013. Following Jon’s departure from the channel Dan Avidan (also known as Danny Sexbang ) replaced him, taking over the role of ‘Not So Grump’.ĭanny had initially been planned to be a co-host on Steam Train, another show on the Game Grumps channel, alongside Ross O’ Donovan (also known as RubberRoss, RubberNinja or CondomRoss) however because of Jon’s sudden departure from the show and because Arin had said “Danny would have always been his second choice to co-host Game Grumps if Jon were unavailable” he ended up taking over the role and has been the co-host ever since. Game Grumps is a Let’s Play channel established in July 2012 by co-hosts Arin Hanson (also known as Egoraptor ) and Jon Jafari (also known as Jontron) who played the characters ‘Grump’ and ‘Not So Grump’ respectively, and while I’m talking about Jon, you can click here to find out my Top 10 Jontron videos.Īrin and Jon ran the Game Grumps channel together, with their editor Barry Kramer (also known as razzadoop ) until Jon left in June 2013 to focus on his own channel. Okay before I can tell you about Steam Train, I need to tell you about Game Grumps, which is the parent channel to Steam Train.
