I feel like Dan has told more interesting stories since he's joined Giant Bomb than I've experienced in my entire life. Screw Air Force Gator, he should just write a book about himself.

I'd totally read a Dan biography. After hearing so much about him, I'm surprised he's lived this long
Im partially convinced Dan is some sitcom character whos wandered into the real world

Dan's parents should feel bad, they didn't prepare him for life.
Maybe it's life that wasn't prepared for Dan.

That itself, sounds like a sitcom.

I wonder what Dan's clip in the GOTY Awards video will be like. Just him eating hot dogs at home, then he talks about his Top 5 while chewing? Or maybe bar bingo.
Where did he tell this?
he's streaming right now.
He probably escaped from a Truman Show-like enclosure.

He's livestreaming TLOU MP right now.

About 30 minutes ago, on his TLoU stream.
Ah thanks, will have to catch that sometime later.

That's a silly assumption.
Another classic example of someone saying "everyone" when they meant to say "me".
True. But if Jeff asked me to fill in for him while he was on vacation, I know I would jump at the chance.

this so much this.
Even though I cover the industry from time to time, I would never ever want to review a game on a time schedule dear god.
I think I would hate video games by the end of it.
The three guarantees of content involving Dan.
1. A revelation about him not knowing, or having never tried something as obvious as breathing.
2. At least one mention of the WWE, wrestling or a professional wrestler. No matter how tenuous the connection to the story.
3. Lynyrd Skynyrd references or clothing.

It happens quite often to me. You begin to be very cynical and jaded towards news, announcements, and even games themselves. It can be draining. It certainly gets to the point where it's just a typical job. Unlike a typical job where you can unwind with a game after, you don't have that luxury when you are doing nothing but being surrounded by gaming all day, every day.

I know this has probably been mentioned in this thread already but i just want to take a minute to congratulation the person who decided to give the hosting job of the bombcast to brad as this has freed jeff to be fucking hilarious over the past 2 shows. I haven't laughed so much in ages when listening to the scott hall riffing.
Also, Dan. Oh my god what a hire the guy is amazing and i can see a real chemistry developing between him and jeff.
Anyway i'm going to melt some egg shells for breakfast

I will tell you no and then three people in this thread who are part of their community will shout at me for that.
(But it's still no.)
Yeah, as Jeff said on Tumblr:
Brad hosting is the best thing to happen to the site for a long time. Also, Patrick's video is incredible, haha.
The forums were pretty good during the first few years, I remember hosting and participating in the Starcraft 2 community tournaments and those were always a lot of fun, in fact the people I've met during those tournaments are still people I regularly play games with today, so that's pretty cool. I haven't touched the forums in ages though, and the general discussion and off-topic stuff always seemed not great. I think the specific game communities can be quite good though albeit a bit inactive and sparse given the game.
Yep, for a few years there I visited every day and for a few months was involved in a weekly multiplayer tournament with about 6-10 other people. The forums were a lot of fun around when quests were still active. I can even boast the infamy of helping to establish a popular giant bomb meme. I was clearly kind of a big deal. PM for autographs.
Brad shows how much he cares about the podcast by sounding sleepy and constantly checking his phone.

That Patrick video sure is something..
If I wanted to watch kids play old video games I probably just go to youtube though, it's not what I come to GB for. It's fine that people seem to enjoy it, but I don't think I'll bother watching more of those videoes from Patrick.

The little bit I saw he didn't do great, but he kept going for melee kills, which wre hilarious when he pulled it off.
I think the premium accounts paid through PayPal have to be upgraded manually (which you probably know), so it does take a bit longer. There is no harm in emailing him though. Whenever I have had a problem he's been extremely fast with a response and always resolves the issue pretty much immediately.
That's correct.
The recycling talk in the latest Bombcast is kind of depressing. Where I live I have to deal with 4 different bins on a day to day basis, not to mention monthly or yearly special waste collection, plus you have to be very aware of seperating your trash or you'll get fined.
There's no way you could get away with just using paper plates. The "Ökopolizei" would come and get you ;_;

The most depressing thing about recycling is when the local paper exposes that all the recycling you carefully sorted for the last few years was dumped in landfill anyway due to the counsel not having the capacity to process it. Better than shipping it all of to Africa I guess.

My local council is always good at providing recycling bins but never good at collecting them.

Was Late Night Dan archived on Twitch? I cannot see it, and that makes me sad
He was using PS4 share so probably no archive.

I'm with you. I lasted about a minute in and turned it off.
Right after they introduced quests on the site I had made some throwaway post to satisfy a quest requirement and was told to kill myself or die in a fire or something else equally as charming.
At that point I figured it was either really insular or GameFAQs level of quality so I never went back.

Unless Fattony recorded the stream its gone for ever.
I thought PS4 had archiving now? Is it a setting that has to be enabled?
Edit: Yeah, there is a setting you have to enable before streaming. Dan prob isnt aware of it.
