This is a dark road.

hey, I'm not saying "fuck you man america's the greatest"

 

[Keyser Soze]

I want to watch someone playing Dan's latest level, does such a video exist

I'll boot up Periscope, hold an iPad in my mouth and start now. That should make it easier to beat.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Guys keep in mind that Dan reads this thread and that you're being really Weekend Gaf.

 

[Zaph]

real talk

how much of dan's success do you think is owed to the country he lives in

His determination, work ethic and frugality is a pretty solid combination almost anywhere.

I wouldn't be so quick to short change him

Not to mention his innate ability to reach out to (and remain friendly with) celebrities. How many times do we go "of course Dan personally knows them!"?

Someone should Periscope you doing that

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

You guys are over thinking this. There is nothing wrong with being proud of being from a certain country.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

success was probably the wrong word

I guess the point I wanted to make was "what better place for Dan Ryckert than the US of A"

read into that whatever you like

Depends what country it is.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Depends what country it is.

I don't think it does. People naturally want to find pride in their origin and you can do that regardless of how much you agree or disagree with whatever politics, ideologies, and history that may be associated with it.

 

[Mister Negative]

you all have weird ways of typing "yes, the witcher 3 is a masterpiece."

sorry but we don't all have 980s to play it with

 

[popo]

has 'england' replaced 'europe' as umbrella term for a wildly diverse and culturally rich continent in dan's vocabulary now

The other counties have bacteria in them. To steal a John Oliver joke, England is the America of Europe.

Guys keep in mind that Dan reads this thread and that you're being really Weekend Gaf.

He frequently stalks wrestlers irl. I am sure he can relate.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yeah, some of us have 980Tis!

 

[Fantastapotamus]

The guy from our racist right-wing party releases a fucking Rap video of himself every year or so and ~33% of the people here vote for him. That's pretty dumb. Joke about Trump all you want, at least he doesn't "rap", (as far as I'm aware at least).

That makes it really hard for me to be proud of my country.

 

[Chance Hale]

Yeah, some of us have 980Tis!

1440P/60 FPS in the Witcher 3.

he mentioned getting text messages from xaiver woods on a show this week and i was completely unfazed. at this point dan can't surprise me.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Just watched the QL and Yoshi's Woolly World has to be one of the best looking games ever released. Holy crap they nailed that art style.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

1440P/60 FPS in the Witcher 3.

I play with a 1080p projector, but I downsample all my games and they looking fantastic. It's worth it to have a 120-inch display.

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Man I went back to Metal Gear and replayed some missions, did some FOB stuff, and fuck is that game still so satisfying to play. Easy GOTY.

Yeah game mechanics have advanced a long way since MGSV came out but it definitely still holds up

laughing at this way more than I should

Yeah it's incredible how great it looks, the Wii U has put out some fantastic looking games.

MGSV, that old gem.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Poor souls

 

[Fantastapotamus]

MGSV is one of those games were I just wish it had less (or....no) management stuff in it. I'm spending so much time in menus, I could be out there repeating the same few missions the game has, instead I have to manage my base for no good reason.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

That's brilliant.

Same. My own compulsions to do side stuff has been detrimental in my enjoyment of the game. Witcher, in comparison, has more hand-crafted side quests that have a finite number as opposed to MGSV's endless well of soulless side stuff.

 

[Dartastic]

Did anyone try Ryckert's new level for Patrick? How the hell do you beat it? I feel like it's a

stack the pow blocks to get to the door

thing but I have NO idea how to do that and... Yeah.

Come Christmas and the GB GOTYs, violent infighting over MGS5 vs Witcher 3 will tear GB-GAF apart.

Mario Maker will save us.

Bloodborne might not even crack the Top 5.

 

[TraBuch]

Did Patrick hit the invisible ghost box in either video?

 

[funkystudent]

Witcher 3 would be a much better game if CDPR stopped breaking it in new and different ways with every patch.

 

[Chance Hale]

I hope giantbomb east looks at Disgaea 5, no love for that series on the site.

 

[Joeku]

I'm with you. It is in a way my own brain's fault that MGSV leaves me annoyed at spending so much time doing busywork. While mostly optional, everything there calls to me and that I have to either engage with it or intentionally ignore it is frustrating. It's akin to Ubisoft Open-World Formula crap that takes away from what could otherwise be a tighter, more compact thing.

Spoiler

Arkham Asylum >>> Arkham City

Witcher 3 would be a much better game if CDPR stopped breaking it in new and different ways with every patch.

Didn't the newest patch finally make that stable on consoles? Or did it introduce some new BS?

 

[Backfoggen]

Bloodborne might not even crack the Top 5.

I got over Dark Souls 1 not even being on their 2011 list, nothing can affect me anymore

 

[Megasoum]

Did Patrick hit the invisible ghost box in either video?

Nooo! It pissed me off so much lol. Every attempts he was hitting a bunch of the invisible blocks but he didn't get the ghosts once!

 

[KingKong]

maybe if they didn't spend time on 150 copy and paste side quests and a massive pointless gear grind they could have finished the game

 

[funkystudent]

Didn't the newest patch finally make that stable on consoles? Or did it introduce some new BS?

It improved performance but ending up breaking a bunch of quests and introducing a few new bugs

Yeah, saying Bloodborne will be their GotY. Ridiculous.

Damn I forgot to put The Order high up on my list somewhere.

I thankfully still don't entirely understand what a Superwholock is.

i'm just waiting in the wings for the thread to get proper weird and not just dumb weird
