Egoraptor is most popular for his creation of Dragonball Z in a Nutshell (Hilarious), a comedic audio summary of the Dragonball Z series, the Awesome Series animations parodying video games, Lemon 'n Bill, a comedy series where an anthropomorphic bullet and a lemon get stuck in video game worlds, Girlchan in Paradise!!, a series made with Joshua "TomaMoto" Tomar that parodies shōnen anime, and Sequelitis, a series in which he compares a game and its sequel along with minor animations throughout the video, and most recently for Game Grumps, a channel where he plays games with JonTron.
Arin has also done the voiceover for several episodes of Did You Know Gaming?, a series that has also had Jon do voiceovers for its episodes. He has also voiced Rarity and Pinkie Pie in the PONY.MOV series.
Other
Arin also voiced Dr. Bruce Banner in the video game: Marvel Ultimate Alliance after winning a contest held by Activision, however, due to recording complications and time restraints (he still lived in Loxahatchee at the time and had to be flown to Los Angeles by Activision), his voice acting can only be heard on the PS3, Wii, and PSP versions.
He also appeared as a contestant on the Sony PlayStation game show "The Tester" in its third season, as the community-vote contestant, but was eliminated in the third episode after being accused of using the show to promote himself. When asked about his Tester experience and whether or not he would do it again, he replied negatively.[1]
He has also appeared in spinoffs of Ed Glaser's Press Start series, voicing the characters Buzz Porcupine and Plumber Pete (and The "Melee" Announcer in one episode, where he was uncredited) in the Press Start: Bonus Levels (later renamed Press Start Adventures) animated series and did all voiceover work for the Dial “V” for Vile series.
Personal life
Arin was born January 6, 1987. His father, Lloyd "Paparaptor" Hanson, is a musician. He runs the website Old Farts With Guitars, where he talks about his story with music and occasionally about other members of the Hanson family. Arin's mother's name is Maurette Hanson.
Arin has one brother, Nate, who is an aviator. He is almost exactly three years older than Arin (his birthday is a day before Arin's). He is also said to own a guitar signed by the rock band Hoobastank.
Arin is engaged to Suzy Berhow.
