It is hard to believe that six months have already passed since fans of the YouTube let’s play/comedy channel “Game Grumps” were dealt a hard blow. If you haven’t been following this popular gaming channel, let me get you up to speed: in June one of the founding members of Game Grumps, gaming personality Jon “JonTron” Jafari, suddenly left the [Read more…]
