![]() The show also features guest YouTube personalities, including game critics ProJared, The Completionist and YouTuber Markiplier. In January 2015, to celebrate reaching two million subscribers, a new show called Grumpcade was launched, featuring any combination of co-hosts playing console games. Since Abernathy's departure from the show in mid-2016, Kramer, Ryan Magee, and Matt Watson had taken the editing duties. Although Abernathy took on editing for most of the series, Kramer continued to edit Steam Train. In November 2014, Kevin Abernathy was hired to assist Kramer with video editing and production. The final episode of Table Flip aired on October 14, 2016. The series was professionally produced by Polaris, with seven cameras and extensive editing in post-production to fit the content to the show's 45 to 60 minute format on Polaris's website rather than the Game Grumps YouTube channel. In December 2013, Kramer and Berhow began hosting Table Flip, where they dress in Victorian/ 19th century American period clothing and play tabletop games, such as card games, board games, and tile-based games with other YouTube personalities. The current hosts of Game Grumps, Dan Avidan (right) and Arin Hanson (left), in 2015 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. ![]() This expanded the channel's output to three videos a day: two standard Game Grumps episodes and a single Steam Train episode. Avidan also joined animator Ross O'Donovan as co-host of the show Steam Train where both play PC games. After Jafari's departure, Ninja Sex Party vocalist Dan Avidan succeeded him as co-host of the main 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. 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. In September 2012, Barry Kramer was brought onto the show as an editor. 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. Brawl was too similar to the character Fox in terms of their fighting styles. 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. 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 Jto video streaming site YouTube.
