Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan host a Let's Play web series called GameGrumps. The series, which co-hosts Hanson and Jon Jafari started in 2012, focuses on the hosts' gameplays. Avidan took over for Jafari when he left the show in 2013 to focus on his own YouTube web series, JonTron. According to Net Worth Spot, as of October 2022, they are worth a total of $6.14 million.
On July 18, 2012, Jon "JonTron" Jafari and Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson launched Game Grumps with a video of themselves playing Kirby Super Star. When the idea for the show came to Jafari and Hanson, they were debating whether the fighting game character Wolf from Super Smash Bros. Brawl was too similar to the character Fox in terms of their fighting styles.
After animator Ross O'Donovan revealed this to them, Hanson had the idea for a podcast centred on the two of them being "grumpy" with each other over video games. However, rather than a podcast, the show eventually evolved into a YouTube video series.
Arin Joseph Hanson, also known online as Egoraptor, is an American voice actor, animator, and Internet personality.
