I call November 2019 for the Dan's Dad Deathpool.

Also I loving love Dan. A friend of mine once said "no one wants a dumb dog" and Dan Rykert is proof to the contrary.

Just watched some of the roller coaster video and when Dan says "I hope we get a lot of streetpasses" I thought it was legitimately funny.

Dan is the type of guy that if you had known him in college you would expect to find out that he actually failed out second semester of his senior year.

Still love Dan.

Listed to the podcast late this week, came to see the Peach talk.

Brad is a dumbass if he thinks it's even possible to shame Dan.

no one at giant bomb has any shame, it's why they still have klepek around

Patrick has to go on and on about why he has feelings. Dan just has them.

Basically gently caress Patrick forever <3 Dan

At least I don't have to listen to Patrick's terrible voice on the Bombcast anymore.

who's the guy on there that said windows phone is great and beloved this week? gently caress that guy and his fat sounding voice imo.

Brad claimed that people liked it and that he had one for two years... Which to me says he couldn't have liked it that much or why doesn't he still have one?

Brad has spent like hundreds of dollars on Dota iirc so whatever he says is probably wrong anyway.

Giant Bomb Drinking Game:

Anytime Patrick says "Ludonarrative Dissonance" take a shot and hope Dan starts talking soon.

Anytime Patrick writes "Ludonarrative Dissonance" kill yourself why the gently caress are you reading a Patrick article.

"Ludonarrative, a compound of ludology and narrative, refers to the intersection in a video game of ludic elements — or gameplay — and narrative elements.[1] It is commonly used in the term Ludonarrative dissonance.[1][2][3]

...

Video game theorist Tom Bissell, in his book Extra Lives (2010), notes the example of Call of Duty 4, where a player can all but kill their digital partner during gameplay without upsetting the built in narrative of the game.[3]"

Sometimes I look at Patrick articles since he posts all the news stuff and at least 50% of the time one of the first 20 or so comments is pointing out a typo.

I spent ten seconds googling it out of curiosity and found that it had its strongest week of sales since the console's launch, which you'd think would be worth mentioning.

If Brad wasn't forced to be the host this is like 300% more time than he would spend researching anything for the podcast.

Everyone at the table has a smart phone and/or laptop and you still get times where they just talk in circles about something wondering aloud what the real answer is. All the hatin' I posted in the thread has just been goofin' (except really gently caress Patrick) but it seems fairly unprofessional.

I tried that blistered thumbs or whatever and it was boring as gently caress. I also tried the Super Best Friends podcast but their lead has an incredibly obnoxious personality that I just don't get at all. It feels more like a bunch of friends dicking around which is fine if you manage to reel it in and be coherent once in a while.

GB podcast best podcast.

I like Super Best Friends as a break from GB. They're SUPER into stuff that I have less interest in, but I like listening to them talk about it and maybe hear about new stuff. Their subject matter is a little closer to 8-4 Play but with fighting games added in. I wanted to like 8-4 Play but I find it to be boring/annoying most of the time. As much as Patrick or Brad get poo poo on at various times by various people, neither of them call themselves "Gaming Jesus" as a loving nickname like Mark Macdonald from 8-4 (seriously what a tool).

I'm eagerly awaiting the 4000 word tell all post on his tumblr about how it was the reason he quit.

Three thousand, nine hundred, and fifty of those words will be about how grateful he is to Ryan and Jeff and how he understands why they choose to hire Dan and he still loves those guys and GB, then the last fifty words will just be "problematic" in increasingly incorrect and disjointed spellings.

Kind of like the FFT L I T T L E M O N E Y.

If you want to get into any of the weekly programming, check out NXT. It's only 1 hour a week and their PPV equivalent specials (NXT Takeover) are basically all excellent.

Judging from what you've said here I think you would like Enzo and Big Cass from that particular program.

Sorry you subscribed to WWE Network and got stick with a really lovely Royal Rumble (the match itself, the rest of the PPV was pretty good).

That triple threat match was legit really good at least.

If you want to watch a really good Rumble, try 1992.
