I like Adam Jensen so it's cool that he's coming back but I sorta wish they'd gone with a new protagonist who could have his own catchprase to stand along "I never asked for this" and "what a shame"

Can a phrase that he only used once really count as a catchphrase?

I never asked for this catchphrase

What a shame.

There should be a saying for a saying that is only said once or a very few number of times that is then made a catchphrase / driven into the ground by the audience.
Also you know what I miss? Green screen shenanigans. Eventually they just gave up using gamespots giant green screen room and they dont have a cheap green screen of their own to use like the old whiskey office.

Oh god, someone actually posted a thread about dan rykert on off-topic.

I had to close it about half way through the first page. :lol
Quality stuff.
I avoid off-topic threads that involve any kind of director, writer or whatever.
Nolan threads alone are fucking unbearable to read.

Dan talking about an all inclusive resort in Mexico reminds me of a funny story where I got drunk at one on my honeymoon. I should maybe send it in as an email.
It's uh, a mix of some pretty nice stuff about people sharing their stories about coping with anxiety, and some people that need to vent that Dan likes Taco Bell basically.

Yeah, I probably made it out to be way worse than it is, but there are some people who are going on about how much of an idiot he is. Which he is and he loves to amp it up for attention, but I never got why people can get offended at people being harmless idiots.
That's okay, it's the "alcoholic" and "sad life" comment(s) that are unneeded.

It seemed to me early on a few people seemed to not understand anxiety and didn't see how a guy like Dan could have it and write a book about it, then a mix of people saying he's stupid and already gives enough bad advice on Danswers and stuff like that. After that it just wasn't really worth reading on.

Yeah there was definitely some of that. I kind of wanted to respond to all that a bit tersely but thought there was no point because it would simply be what the thread turned into instead of it being about the topic.
He's writing a personal book about how he dealt with anxiety who gives a fuck if he doesn't know what a mortgage is or the state of international affairs.
Vinny, is that you?
Small wheels are way better.
I am in awe.

Just going to point out that.....
Dan. Drunk his way though college. Film major who thinks black and white films are dumb. = Released multiple books that people enjoy.
Brad. Literature Major = Writes 2 reviews a year and has never written a book.

I mean, we've listened to Dan in podcasts so I think we're all qualified to analyse his life.
I don't know how you know that but it's amazing that you do. I like you.

Wait! What!? Is Brad doing a thing?
Bloodborne!
Don't ask Stump how he knows something, I'm always scared of the answer!
Kudos to you for the GB fanart you've made over the years btw. I need to check out the Bombduders game, this gamejam has delivered some silly/fun stuff.

No, it's just me wishing that we would get a new breaking brad whenever I see BB. :<

I feel betrayed.We definitely need a new breaking brad, I need some Brad focused premium content.
I didn't know that about Brad, I always assumed he was more of a hard sciences guy or that he was a glamorous karaoke singer who had to flee to the United States to escape the yakuza.

Well he started college as a Computer Science major but switched early on after "it wasn't for him" and switched to English literature.

Thanks! It's just my way of paying my dues to the site for all its done, haha. Or, I guess, my way of saying thanks because I'm a cheap piece of shit and don't mail in cool things like everyone else does.

I mean, I'd argue that anybody who isn't actively mailing in their garbage is probably improving the site in a passive way.
except for the guy that sent in all those knives. that guy was cool.

brad isn't on any premium podcasts, hasn't done a premium series outside of his UPF segments in a lonnnngggg time (not counting of the occasional dota2), and he's yet to do a single review in 2015.
Now, i'm fully expecting him to come in here and crush me like Vinny did a while back to that guy doubting his work ethic but there's no denying a dropoff in production from Bard from a consumer's point of view. In vinny's case, it was understandable given his and alex's circumstances but Brad's dip is more of a mystery.
edit: I forgot that he handles the podcast stuff now so i'll grant him that. and yeah, he's carrying his weight with QLs, not denying that. Just speaking from what is tangible production, what we as customer's see, it has all the appearances of a dropoff.
Isn't Brad in charge of the E3 scheduling in terms of appointments and the like? Not the guests on the podcast, that was first Ryan, then Patrick and I think Alex did it last year.
It strikes me as that would be in full swing at the moment.
In addition, he's in charge of the podcast, which is fairly sizable piece of content each week.
Not that I wouldn't love to see more Brad content.
