What makes you say that? Did Dan post it was somewhere? The next episode looks kinda long from qlcrew, but I feel Drew would have to be booking it to get through
the fight with Vamp, escorting Emma, and hearing all of her crazy conversations about the GW AI, and escorting her some more, and having to protect her from a sniper's position...just seems like that torture part would be at least 2 more episodes away.

Just to follow-up on your question, he also confirmed that we're starting ep 12 post-torture sequence on Twitter.

They've done Quick Looks of every update for Street Fighter IV...and I'm kinda sad they haven't looked at Skullgirls since the original version, even though they keep adding new characters and mechanics to that game constantly.

I keep hoping that maybe they'll look at it again once Robo Fortune, the last new character, is out, but I won't hold my breath for that either.

They will probably take a look at the PS4 version.

Alexis has barely been at Twitch a couple weeks and he's already added their version of Embiggen mode. Dude works fast.

Well he is a designer. All he has to do is have it approved and design a button. Some engineer actually added it. Good that he is putting his stamp on the layout though.

huh. I just realized he must work with Karen Chu (ex-1up, currently of GoodJobBrain podcast).

That's kinda dismissive if you've never been the new guy familiarising yourself with a sizeable codebase and all its quirks. And as with any feature, there's a lot more to it than just adding a button too - even for the designer.

Design has a much further reach than simply aesthetic design, more so these days than ever before.

Dan might like the Black Keys if he's into that old school mainstream rock sound so heavily.

tons of good hip-hop out there too if he's into that.

Not meant to be a slight at all. I credit him for doing his job of already getting meaningful changes pushed through. Just pointed out that there was likely an equally talented engineer writing the code to implement it. Like when people were saying the site stability went to shit when Alexis left - little understanding of what his job was at CBS.

Brad just did a drive by on the latest bombcast thread.. Dan really should give him some pointers on which fan forum posts to engage with and which to let go.

He's got a point, though, might as well not dig too deep into that discussion given how uncertain the numbers are.

I just feel bad for Dany M, having one of his favorite dads chew him out like that.
