I've actually never eaten a blueberry. I've had blueberry flavored stuff, but never an actual blueberry.

Buy a small punnet of Blueberries - they're alright, mate. If you dont like the texture/taste - throw them in a blender with some yogurt, bananas and milk and they work as a pretty fantastic smoothie filler.
 
Jeff and Dan should do a GI Joe cartoon podcast going over 2-3 episodes each time they record. This is the best idea I will ever have.

They'd also need to get the old Three Red Lights crew from IGN with Hilary Goldstein. It would be the Ultimate GI Joe show.

I would love this because I totally want to start watching GI Joe after that discussion. And by totally want I mean I'm totally going to start watching it after I finish listening to the podcast.
 
So, the idea is they're going to play every Mario Party, right? Because I'm fucking psyched for Mario Party 2. I love that game. Best in the series.

Isn't there some kind of link for recent livestreams before they're uploaded or am I imagining that?
 
The hate for LOTR is just disheartening. Then again I fucking hate Star Wars and Star Trek and almost all sic-fi in general. The only sci-fi worlds I have ever liked is Halo, Gears and now Destiny. Bungie and Epic just seem to know how to put together a sic-fi world that isn't just stupid to me.

You need to check out some more sci-fi bruh, Gears is some of the most generic sci-fi I've ever seen or heard, but I agree that Halo is great (Destiny not so much.)

I just have no interest in it. Space lasers and aliens are just not enjoyable to me. I have no clue why I like fantasy so much, but when it comes to sic-fi I just cannot stand it. There is one universe I did forget to mention that is awesome when it comes to sci-fi and that is Warhammer 40k, the amount of lore alone is fascinating and all the races are interesting.
 
That Firefall talk in the Bombcast was completely emotionally deflating. Next time they should just talk about Space Invaders pinball arcarde machines instead of doing a service for their listeners and discussing an upcoming video game.

I forgot about Warhammer, that is a really good and unique universe.

That is an incredibly narrow view of "science fiction."
 
To be fair on njean, the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is one of the greatest sci fi books written and it did feature a lot of aliens.

Not a lot of space lasers though.
 
Also Star Wars is literally a fantasy series that just happens to take place on a bunch of planets and the swords and arrows look and sound like lasers instead of being made of wood and metal
 
Speaking of sciene fiction, Dark City has gotta be one of the most underappreciated movies ever. Belongs on the same pedestal as Blade Runner methinks. The atmosphere of that movie is just unmatched.

Exactly what I thought. My memories of the show are very hazy. Like Brad I was extremely confused by Sgt. Slaughter's cross-media presence.

Wow. Just wow.

I'm not big into sci-fi either but Halo, Gears and Destiny have 3 of the stupidest dude-bro stories I have ever experienced, in any medium. (Halo is slightly better than the other two, but it's still stupid)

I'm pretty sure Warhammer contains 'Aliens' and 'space lasers'.

Just sounds like you've made a decision on something even though you have 0 clue about what you dislike.
 
15 minutes in and this is already the best thing. Happy bouncing Dan, nonplussed Drew, and Jeff and Brad descending into private Hell.

"It's like saying 'I'm the best shit eater!'"

Dying.
 
I hope we get a Mario Party Party every month.
Last Tuesday of every month is Mario Party Party Day.

AKA, the day jeff stays home "sick"
 
I don't feel like anyone can appropriately judge Destiny's story yet. Not sure there'll be much of one to judge in the end though.

I'm fixing to jump in to the Mario Party Party since I didn't get to catch it live.
 
Speaking of sci fi and Hasbro toy cartoons, I started watching G1 Transformers in Netflix.

So far it appears to be the developing story of two bosses trying to keep their hopelessly stupid and incompetent employees under control. Sometimes this backfires when said bosses initiate idiotic projects of their own, like authorizing the construction of dinosaur robots with small brains, or building an incredibly powerful mounted laser that has a range of about 100 feet and is stuck in the Andes mountains.

Just wait when a young manager accidentaly kills one of the bosses and is promoted while the other boss becomes senile.

It seems to be Dan's goal at least, so we'll see! He might've used up all his goodwill with this 50 round game though, haha.
 
Dan Ryckert is the best thing to happen to Giant Bomb in years.
I think the only saving grace is that he is self-aware. Imagine if he was steadfast on opinions on things because he assumed he was naturally right all the time.

That said, he's a dude who eats off of paper plates because he doesn't want to do dishes. I mean... holy shit. lol

When I didn't have a dishwasher I did this all the time. Hand washing dishes suuuuucks.

No, it takes maybe 30 seconds... Soap water sponge dry done.

Also regarding Dan, listening to bombcasts has turned into a game of how long until he reveals something ridiculous about himself. No salad, cooking egg shells, shaving dry...

I use one of those sponge things with the soap in the handle and just give it a scrub, rinse, put it on drying rack, takes like 10 seconds tops. It's pretty good.

But yes, Dan is making me enjoy podcasts a lot more, every time I learn something so profoundly interesting about him. Although with what I know about him thus far, I found it hard to believe him when he said that he was in the gifted programs all through school. No offence, but he did try to cook eggshells.
 
I still do that as a student
It's just sooooooo convenient :D

My real plates only come out if I have to impress somebody which never happens happens all the time

#teampaperplates

If I wasn't in a relationship right now, I'd still do it. Fuck doing dishes.

Also, regarding LOTR, I think the movies are better than the book. Tolkien is amazing at world building, but I never really liked his style of writing. But that's probably not the most popular opinion.
 
If there was any question why Jeff Gerstmann is the best videogamesman in the biz, this Mario Party stream is a clear indication.

I am in fucking stitches.
 
Absolutely. Difference being Charlie is a TV character with a team of writers.

Dan has never eaten a fucking salad.

Lets think about this for a second. Think about all the times a salad is offered to you. On Airplanes, as starters, as a side dish, at buffets, at family/friends dinners...Like, you've got to try pretty fucking hard to avoid a salad when you're 30 years old.

I'm 25 and I've never eaten a salad. Lettuce is disgusting. Raw tomatoes are disgusting. Cucumbers are disgusting. Everything that defines a salad besides cheese, croutons, and dressing is fucking disgusting.
 
Using paper plates to avoid washing one dish has to be one of the laziest things I've ever heard.
