"game grumps" was created by jon "jontron" jafari and arin "egoraptor" hanson, and began with a video of the two playing "kirby super star" uploaded on july 18, 2012 to video streaming site youtube. according to jafari and hanson, the idea for the show came about when the two were arguing over whether or not the character wolf from the fighting game "super smash bros. brawl" was too similar to the character fox in terms of their fighting styles. after animator ross o’donovan told the duo about their tendency to be “grumpy” with each other over video games, hanson came up with the idea of a podcast revolving around this concept, though the show ultimately became a video series on youtube rather than a podcast. in september 2012, barry kramer was brought onto the show as an editor. hanson and jafari worked on the show together until june 25, 2013, when jafari announced he would be leaving the show due to desires to focus on his own show. many fans were upset by jafari's departure from "game grumps", with many expressing disappointment in the decision's last-minute announcement, as well as the channel's decision to announce the beginning of "steam train" on the same day. after jafari's departure, ninja sex party vocalist dan avidan succeeded him as co-host of the main show. avidan also joined animator ross o'donovan as co-host of the show "steam train", where both play pc games (the title references the retailer steam). this expanded the channel's output to three videos a day: two standard "game grumps" episodes and a single "steam train" episode. "steam train" later expanded to include hanson as a co-host at times, as well as featuring one of the group's editors, barry kramer, and hanson's wife, suzy berhow. the expansion also introduced a new "steam rolled" series, where four-player games (not necessarily pc games) are played by the group.
