Your post sucks.
Your reaction to that comment is probably a bit different than your reaction to me saying he wasn't policing anything, but explaining to Dan why people are reacting negatively to what Dan is saying. As much as we'd like everyone to be like Dan (and probably you and me), not caring when someone distills their dislike of something into one word, not everyone is like that. Austin never said Dan shouldn't say something sucks.
Austin hates Dan.

Honestly, more nuanced and articulate critique is exactly what GB needs and hopefully hired this guy for.
I'm ready for GB discussion to be elevated from Dan's "it sucks" (why?) and Brad's "it's weird" (what is weird about it? what would be normal? is weird worse than normal?)
Then again, Austin's in GBeast, so interaction with the office that needs a bit of an intellectual and academic injection to become more interesting to listen to again will probably be limited.

I guess that's how it's going to be... but if they really embrace that, it'd make the Beastcast higher priority to listen to along with Idle Thumbs and ahead of the Bombcast. (For me, personally.)

Jeff and Vinny were really brilliant with this second office business. I like the separate office dynamics they're building up.
Means fewer bottlenecks on content production too.

I was expecting a particually creepy weekend with the new guy but I did not expect this.
Anyway lets get out of this nightmare and walk down memory lane.

Austin Walker being the new hire makes me feel less confident about Tina Amini being the new hire.

Twitter is fucking useless as a platform other than for advertisements and quick statements that cannot be taken in any way, and anyone who's convinced you can have discussion on it is delusional unless they're using a Twitlonger (I think that's what it's called?) hyperlink. And even then a Twitter user will probably ignore the link and base a response on the first sentence.
The fact that Twitter took off still boggles my mind.
I'm still convinced. Abut Danielle, too.
Also, that freeze-frame-searching picture on this page is creepy as fuck.
You say that, but do you mean it?

If we don't talk about it, it goes away and EmCee quietly sweeps it off.

Really enjoying Jeff on the beastcast, do we know if he is actually "rotating" or was that Vinny trolling?
Also with Austin and Alex I have to wonder if the beastcast will be more "political" than the bombcast.

On the mic check Vinny said there would be a rotating chair that would probably end up being Jeff most of the time.

I mean, the main thing here is that "xy sucks" is just not an interesting statement to make, isn't it? That's kind of a problem I've had with the Bombcast for a while, because the guys (not just Dan) fall back on this a whole lot. Compared to, say, Idle Thumbs or now the Beastcast (thankfully) who are really good at articulating/analyzing why a specific thing works or doesn't work. That's what makes a discussion interesting, and then you have a point that you can defend.
JP LeBreton recently posted something on the matter which I think I agree with a lot: https://twitter.com/vectorpoem/status/604377960112480256
That said, it's probably moot to discuss this (or anything) with regard to Dan's twitter antics, yeah.

Yorkie 4 lyfe. Needs to go to a better grooming parlour though, that cut does it no favours. That dog is Brad basically.
This website sucks!

Twitter is not really a plattform for interesting statements.
Whatever, I say XYZ sucks all the time, don't see why Dan should be chided for it

I realised my mistake and have since changed my original post.
Oh nice, I've been wondering for a while why the Deadliest Warrior QL was different than what I remember, turns out I was watching the QL for the wrong game!
