I enjoy(ed) the Old Games Show, but I think I prefer the angle of Demo Derby, where they get a smattering of games sight-unseen as well as a bunch of dated video content. Demo discs are a better window into what gaming at the time was like than individual games are. You avoid the issue of certain games running long and also get to see games that, for better or for worse, they would've never picked for TOGS.
and we also get the best members of giant bomb on every video
why does this work so well

"Feng Shui. Fung Shooey" He mispronounces it the same way they do in the e pisode
Between that, Mr Show, Comedy Bang Bang, Achewood, Jeff has some real good taste.

Okay this Until Dawn play date is excellent.

It seems like it makes good changes in regards to the home design systems, but I'd want that in a normal AC game, not a game solely about building houses.
Mister Negative

I feel like the thing with AC is that unless you're a very specific kind of person, that game is best played for, at most, a 30-60 minutes a day. So you kind of have to have something else going on in your life to make the most of it.
I met my fiancee on ok cupid and we are getting married in October!
I found paid datings sites to be WAY WAY WORSE.
Less response rate, less interaction, less everything.
You would think people would be more serious about finding someone on a paid site. But I found it much easier to get people to respond to me on OK Cupid
Dude...this new Animal Crossing was absolutely made for ME.
I get my kicks in Animal Crossing by subverting the lighthearted, happy tone by creating the weirdest, darkest towns filled with murder and conspiracy. And it looks like I'll be able to do just that with the homes in this game, and I absolutely look forward to making meth labs and serial killer lairs and having the animals become ecstatic over it.

I have a soft spot for cheesy mountain climbing thrillers, and Vertical Limit totally hits all the right notes. Also has Julian Bashir being blown up by the SUN!

His taste in comedy is a lot better than his taste in games.

Man I want to like Patrick's playthrough of Soma, but if the first episode is to go by he just plays everything so slow and is dead silent 90% of the time. He barely voices his thoughts about what's going on at all. And I get that maybe there's some absorption of the moment going on, but it's so painfully boring when he's staring at the objective for ten minutes and doesn't do anything. Hopefully things pick up in subsequent episodes.
He did so much better at GB. I know he's capable of interesting commentary.

If he spoke more it'd be a Quick Look (or perhaps a Spookin' with Scoops) and CBSi would have to take action against him. Patrick knows his legal loopholes well.

Demo Derby's games aren't retro enough to be cool. They're just edgyXtreem2damax, which isn't very cool at all.

He should fear the wrath of Pewdiepie now instead of GB, he's on his turf now.
Glitchesarecool

It's still Spookin with Scoops.
Also CBSi doesn't own commentary over video. So I don't buy that as a reason. No, I totally think since this is supposedly while he was reviewing the game, he's genuinely taking things in. It just makes for a bad video.

Sarcasm with Glitchesarecool should be something you look into lol.

Text on the internet. It didn't register at all to me.
My feelings too and I think it's holding back his channel from becoming more popular.

Next you'll tell me Patrick still does Jar Time videos.
(I've never seen a Jar Time video)

Speaking of people playing SOMA, Greg Kasavin is playing it right now.

Dan and Jeff finding the idea of owning an iron so foreign is some top Giant Bomb content.
Neon Indian are still pretty good, if anyone listens to them. Just saw them live, he had a great supporting band.
By the way I challenge you to Puzzle Fighter 2 HD Turbo at Folsom St. Foundry. Let's
avatar bet for it.
I've seen that subreddit, I was hoping for some GB GAF duder stories. I'm not sure you could entirely judge a dating site without having met a couple people on it. Some of the questions on the site are hilarious and ridiculous, glad they have a skip feature.

but the sprites in the HD version are so bad
His own integrity and knowledge of games balances it out for me. He has a much more professional stance in the face of the emotionally loaded MGSV discussion on the internet. He generally is a bigger pro at his job than any gaming podcast or show i listen to.
His experience in this industry trumps a majority of 'internet-personalities' out there for me so his opinion still holds some regard even if i have a different one.

Funny. The things I want out of animal crossing is the compete opposite to what Dan wants. Which should make happy home designer everything I want out of animal crossing. Still, I need some challenge. It seems to have even less management and ruleset to the design than style savvy.

I haven't had bad / crazy experiences on OkCupid, mainly just awkward dates.

I played an hour or so yesterday but I came away really impressed. The atmosphere is incredible but the narrative has also been really interesting so far.

Really looking forward to Dan's Super Mario Maker stream. I've been watching a lot of that game lately. It is something special. I don't think I've ever been so tempted to buy a WiiU.
Did he say something about a "special guest"? Who could it be? Xavier Woods? A pornstar?

I got like a month's pass to one of the paid sites, can't remember which, a number of years ago, and within the first few days I got messages from women who were opening conversations asking about dating with the intent to marry, asking about having kids with them, asking about living a life in the image of jesus, just weird shit to ask strangers
changed the email, bailed the fuck out
