Arin Hanson

Fat friend or Unfunny prude? You be the judge

**Arin Hanson**, known by some as **Egoraptor**, is a former funny boi, current Game Grump, and retired animator. Although most of his time is spent cranking out Let's Plays for his channel Game Grumps, he had made a few appearances on OneyPlays.

## History

### Early Life

Legend has it that Arin and Chris were born in the same space station, being separated as infants and plummeting to Earth due to a freak accident. Chris and Arin supposedly come from a long line of funnymen, and with the blood of their ancestors coursing through their veins, they utilized their natural talent into making cartoons for the Newgrounds website, where the two crossed paths yet again, blissfully unaware of their origins.

### Game Grumps

Around 2012 after years of making funny internet cartoons, the YouTube algorithm proved this pastime to no longer be a sustainable means of making money, so Arin reluctantly turned to making a Let's Play channel titled Game Grumps along with then-rising YouTube star JonTron. Unfortunately, a year later, Jon left because Suzy (Arin's then-girlfriend and now wife) punched Jon's girlfriend, so they replaced him with a person no one had even heard about. He'll never be as good or funny as Jon was.

### OneyPlays

A few years later, Chris would also create a Let's Play channel, appropriately titled OneyPlays. Arin would sometimes appear alongside Chris on OneyPlays, most notably in the Uncharted 4 series. The dynamic between Chris and Arin would prove to be a very strong one. It was like a game of tennis except instead of a ball it's a joke that gets better with every hit. Chris and his pals even used to record in Arin's office, but due to Game Grumps taking a cut of the revenue they decided to move to become more fiscally independent in April, 2017.

### Trouble in Paradise

Unfortunately, the good times would not last forever. In mid 2017, the incident would occur, and in late 2017, Chris would remove Arin from the related channels list on OneyPlays (oh no). Arin would also become kind of a baby (apparently he was always this way but never made it obvious) and would get upset over little things that the Egoraptor we once knew would never have gotten mad about.

Everything came to light on July 30, 2019, when YouTube animator Sr Pelo would upload an animation parodying the sheer amount of "storytime animators" that had been gaining traction on the site. While most people (including the storytime animators themselves) knew it was a joke, Arin thought it was offensive and called out Pelo for being a big mean bully, going as far as speaking ill about Newgrounds, the friends he made, and the time he spent on the site, even though these years are what had defined Arin in the first place.

In the midst of it all, Chris came to the aid of Pelo, revealing that Arin had lost his funny ways. Cory tried to reason with Arin, but was unable to as Arin had grown overprotective of his Grump empire. This little squabble solidified the fact that Chris and Arin were no longer funny buddies. A sad time for us all, but sometimes this is how things play out.
