More or less. They're building to something but the protagonist seems to be another person entirely.
To put it another way, it feels like you're playing the setup for some other movie starring some other dude.

the internet is weird
Before you go off on him, Dan Harris is a really cool dude (not to mention an established journalist, wartime reporter, etc.) that has gone through some terrible anxiety attacks, one famously on live television, himself.
I just finished a fantastic audiobook of his on the subject called 10% Happier:

I think it's fucking dope that something the GB guys were talking about caught his eye.

Wasn't Dan hitting him up on twitter recently for some contact info? Maybe for Danswers?
Yeah, that book is great.

oh no, I meant more that it's weird that he's listening to and promoting GB, hah
there's a thing called links dd
For what? Nothing wrong with the tweet, it's a pretty accurate description from an 'outsider'. Just so weird seeing Dan Harris tweet that.
my bad, it was linked earlier:
also, i totally wrote 'ign' by accident, whoops
didn't listen to the rest of the parts but this one has my approval

Dan gets a massage every two weeks?
Has San Francisco already poisoned him this much?

I don't know about all this Zelda stuff but I'm ready for someone at the Treehouse to give a live demo of new Amiibo.
The most interesting thing about all this is how Penny Arcade had an indirect influence on the creation of Giant Bomb.
I remember the furor when Jeff got fired, but I didn't realize that the PA comic was one of the major things getting the word out (and helping convince Jeff he didn't need to go to the dark side).

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I think I have very negative feelings towards meditation cause every single person I know whos does it is an unbearable asshole. I'm not saying they are assholes because they meditate. But it made me associate meditation with asshole-people.

i thought we were doing a "how do you do fellow kids" routine on the tweet, guess i misread the room
that's a big retweet though, dan harris is no small bones in his endorsement for something, and the caliber of people that will be following that account is up there
very cool
Vegans, crossfit, meditation.
I'd love to meet someone who didn't mention it for no reason.

I need to hear Brad call Jeff "Dearest Jeffrey" in real life.
You probably have, but there was no way for you to know.
Yeah, some of those the mediation types can be insufferable, but a ex who was into it all talked me into going on a short retreat with her, and I was surprised by the wide range of guests. There's definitely something to it if you give it a chance.

Oh man that moment when Dan and Brad look up and see the moose hanging over the guy's head is perfect
I think that goes for every lifestyle choice.
If people like it and it helps them chances are they want to tell people about it.
And if it helps somebody thats great.
Sure, but there's telling people, and there's "telling people".

People like talking about themselves regarding all sorts of topics, god knows we have had a million pizza and burger conversations on the Bombcast.
It's weird that people only take notice of that fact when people talk about how they are bettering their health and well being.
If someone mentions they are a vegan, it gets brought up to them forever and ever. They become "the vegan guy". If someone mentions they had eggs for dinner, it never gets brought up again.
I have experience of this.
and MGS
yes, they've been doing test recordings for several weeks now: https://www.instagram.com/p/BF4MuVYnLb9/?taken-by=giantbombdotcom

Also they should make a counter for "X videos since dan ryckert didn't need to go to the bathroom"
Would think CBSi covered the bandwidth usage that GB uses, since they own it.

Watch it be something that nobody wanted but the person who chose it
Stone this kid for not being a hardcore gb fan.
They do, but the costs likely come out of the Giant Bomb budget. If they don't bring in enough revenue to offset those costs, GB gets less money to do things like buy equipment and hire new people.
It's not free money.
