Drew's background interjection in the Sniper III quick look, I was waiting for that as soon as they started talking. So good.

Yeah, awesome moment. Especially with Dan boasting his history minor.

 

[chickdigger802]

not too familiar with dan, besides wrestling what games does he like?

 

[Valtýr]

It's like.... it's like Vinny never left.

 

[TharpDaddy]

He's really into MOBAs and JRPGs.

 

[Xater]

Loves Metal Gear and dumb stuff. Hates Telltale's Walking Dead.

 

[therealminime]

Ok yeah Dan is a fantastic fit.

 

[Dany]

You're the OG of Drew fandom.

Glad to finally be recognized.

 

[erawsd]

He mentioned in the QL that Metal Gear is one of his all time favorites despite hating other stealth games like Splinter Cell.

 

[Dany]

Ok yeah Dan is a fantastic fit.

Thanks

 

[Tucah]

100% sold on Dan after that QL, I knew he would be a great fit. This is exactly what GBWest needed.

 

[Myggen]

He's a huge fan of pretty much everything Nintendo (that includes Yoshi games!).

 

[goldsoundz]

Hyped for the Sniper Elite 3 QL. Not familiar with Dan at all, but from everything I've read about him he should fit right in.

 

[mattp]

for anyone wondering about dan's mgs love

[RMI]

just catching up on the podcast and also this ridiculous shitstorm. New guys seem like good additions, cracked up a little bit when Jeff said "Don't slight Duke Togo" or something like that. Golgo 13 is pretty awesome.

 

[hamchan]

Yep, the Jeff/Dan combo already fantastic.

 

[Misterinenja]

Good man.

He really does.

I'm still giddy over that QL, haha. Guess I'm just really relieved the new guys got such a nice reception from the community. People seem really happy with Dan and that's great. GB had to go through so much bad luck over the course of last year (not even including the recent controversy), it was heart-breaking sometimes.

 

[Jintor]

Dan/Jeff make my heart sing. I like this.

 

[soundscream]

The first Dan and Jeff quick look is up!
http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-sniper-elite-iii/2300-9180/

Those kill shots looked so much better on the PC, but everything else was fine.

 

[Talon]

Drew's groan after Dan asked, "Was WW2 in Africa?" was great. heh

 

[YuriLowell]

I honestly don't get this entire shitstorm, were they just supposed to hire diversity for diversity's sake?

 

[Kerned]

I honestly don't get this entire shitstorm, were they just supposed to hire diversity for diversity's sake?

There are about 2000 posts worth of discussion on this topic over the last several pages. There is plenty there to get a full range of opinions on both sides of the argument.

 

[erawsd]

Dan/Jeff make my heart sing. I like this.

Yeah, Jeff really feeds off his energy.

I honestly don't get this entire shitstorm, were they just supposed to hire diversity for diversity's sake?

There are 20+ pages of well articulated opinions from both sides if you want a better understanding, no need to talk about it anymore.

 

[demidar]

I honestly don't get this entire shitstorm, were they just supposed to hire diversity for diversity's sake?

I think it's more about perpetuating the status quo but I'd rather not start the debate again.

 

[bigwinnerx]

Yeah, here's hoping a night of sleep gave people some time to digest everything and come out today a little calmer.

Side note, if I see someone again label Dan as "old" because he's 30 (I'm 36) I might lose my mind and whatever calm I gained overnight.

 

[demidar]

Jeff/Dan QL has a lot of chemistry, which is good.

 

[Jintor]

I have this terrible urge to play Sniper Elite at some point

jesus christ these x-ray shots

 

[ultron87]

Dan being 30 kind of shocked me actually. Would've guessed he was closer to Jeff's age.

 

[Strax]

Man, Jeff seems so happy in the QL with Dan

Good for him.

 

[daydream]

That part doesn't really do anything for me, but I like how it's sort of an arcade shooter structure applied to more methodical sniping/stealth gameplay.

 

[Kelas]

Same. Surprised he was quite young.

 

[Jintor]

I love that satisfying feeling of dropping a target with sniping

and seeing a bullet shatter a skeleton into bits hopefully would make that even crazier

 

[Keyser Soze]

Any idea who will be doing the Light (Quick Look)? I guess it might be Brad/Jason to kick of the other duo. I wonder will they ever do Dan/Jason - they'll likely hold of on that until they settle in.

Jason/Drew will probably the amazing duo that only pops up every now and then - as at least one of them usually needs to behind the scenes.

 

[Aaron]

Jason is mainly a video editing guy. While I think he's good on the mic, I doubt he'll be speaking in many quicklooks, outside of the occasional 'Oh my gosh' style utterance.

 

[SteveWinwood]

wow dan is so old

 

[Keyser Soze]

Jason is mainly a video editing guy. While I think he's good on the mic, I doubt he'll be speaking in many quicklooks, outside of the occasional 'Oh my gosh' style utterance.

I cannot see them keeping him behind the scene all the time. He was an active part of a few of GI Quick Looks style videos, so with GB having a much looser feel to how they make content, I feel they will let him do stuff if he wants. He is a pretty solid Street Fighter player, so he could easily be used in other beat em ups. I could him having the same amount of screen time as Vinny had.- unless he wants to focus on behind the scenes stuff himself.

While I agree you gave me another excuse to trot out his Bayonetta review.

 

[Keyser Soze]

He's my age :/

I feel horrible. Thanks.

There's no doubt that he'll at the least be "the fighting game guy", which also includes character action games.

 

[Patryn]

I think he'll show up in QLs.... but not for a bit. They probably would rather have him get a hang of running the technical side of them before having him in front of the camera.

It's similar to why I don't expect to see much of him on the inevitable livestream this week. They probably want him in the control room figuring things out there.

oh my god

Thanks, Ryan.

Clicking on an old Quick Look you've never seen and hearing Ryan's voice is always bittersweet.

Just fired up the one for The Witcher, whicher I missed somehow, and I'm really happysad.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Is it safe in here yet

 

[mattiewheels]

Drew's groan after Dan asked, "Was WW2 in Africa?" was great. heh

"Oh. My. God."

 

[Keyser Soze]

Everyone is happy, and we are contemplating what the future may bring.

I forgot that China Dont Mind bit.

 

[SmithnCo]

lol at Drew chiming in on the WWII talk. "Oh my god." Haha.

 

[popo]

Someone should consider starting a Ryan anniversary thread. If only to stop us filling this one and moving to another OT within the week. Risks getting us moved to the "community" ghetto.
