The Klepek video is a little weird. I see no reason it needs to be a video. Not sure why he didn't just write it up for the site - especially since Kotaku is heavily text focused and the video is on Pat's personal account. Maybe they are trying something new. Would rather just have read it though.

I just found his tone of surprise towards torrent sites to be funny, like he was genuinely surprised by any of it. It's like someone discovering porn sites have comment sections.

Yeah, as somebody who uhm...knew somebody who pirated stuff when he was younger, it was pretty funny. Almost like the time when Vinny tried to download Cheatengine.

Alright, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter has some pretty cool moments (
The moment after you solve that gate puzzle in the mines and water sprays out and a giant tentacle pokes out was pretty dope)
, but the other 90% of the game is me walking around being bored as shit.
 
Dan's gonna have a full Amiibo collection, one way or the other

God dammit, someone sent me a Greninja. This sullies my entire Amiibo collection.

Speaking of Patrick's video, they talked about it on Colin and Greg Live over at Kinda Funny. Greg then congratulated Patrick on Twitter and said he wants to finally do some sort of collaboration (maybe the long awaited Dan/Patrick Super Mario Maker podcast?). Long story short, Patrick replied saying he absolutely wants to do it, especially as he will have an extended stay in San Francisco this summer. Could we could be seeing lots of Patrick in Giant Bomb content this summer?

Greninja is fire. Top 20 poke.

Uhh I'm very confused how Greg Miller talking about Patrick has anything to do with Gaintbomb?

If you don't enjoy it now, you're probably going to hate the ending. I actually loved it and thought the ending was amazing, but it really sounds like the game isn't for you.

Edit:

Greninja is water. Top 20 poke.
Fixed.

It's an assumption on my part. He said in a tweet to Greg that he will have an extended stay in SF this summer. I think it's pretty safe to assume that Patrick will show up in Giant Bomb content (probably on UPF, but hopefully something Mario Maker related). I mean, last time he was in SF (for a wedding?) he still managed to show up to their Extra Life stream.

He will have to regociate a profit split with CBSi first. Pat don't work for free anymore.

Ah, I suppose. Patrick is alright in small doses

Well if he's in San Fran...

I didn't even know where Kinda Funny was located. Their terrible live show where they just read others sites reported new turned me off from them entirely.

It's their apartment. The only clue as to where in the city it is actually came when Dan was on the other day. He said he lives within walking distance from their apartment. Perhaps this is why he's been one of their most frequent guests.
 
i'll never understand why people send stuff to the crew. these folks already have a very privileged position wrt access to things like amiibos and such, why are you giving them even more stuff?

I get sending them art, that stuff is always great. And stuff like demo discs are cool too since the site does use them for features and they're not easy to come by anymore. But stuff like amiibos, which are readily available at major retailers? or that one guy who sent patrick a whole gaming PC?

it's a bit much

please dont actually buy 25 dollar amiibos and send them to Dan in his latest attempt to get twitter attention

yeah cmon now.

I can understand it if it's a weird/unique thing they can make a video out off or something but literally just gifting Dan stuff seems weird to me.

For attention.

Dan should just set up an Amazon Wishlist like camgirls do.

I'm surprised Youtuber Patrick doesn't have one



edit: did the phantasmagoria continued video vanish from the site?

I mean...Dan pretty much encourages it. It rubbed me the wrong way when he mentioned a Waluigi costume or something and said something along the lines of "If someone wants to buy this and send it to me, I'll wear it during MPP".

Yeah this always bothered me. I also think stuff like food and drinks is interesting too, especially when they were tasting stuff on the Bombcast, but in the last few years it's gotten insane. "Hey guys I cleaned a bunch of garbage out of my closet, so here you go!" 99% of the stuff they get it seems they end up just throwing in a corner anyways, so it just seems very stupid to me. If I were them, I just straight up wouldn't show that crap.

or when he said that one time that the reason that they hadn't done a new MPP was because they were waiting for someone to send the next cart in. It's like, are you serious?
