I think Dan is underestimating how big a wolf is.

 

[MassiveNights]

Oh man, I just found out Dan is doing an AMA at r/giantbomb.

Obama, Trump and now Ryckert.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Awwww happy Brad is the best Brad

 

[Mister Negative]

I think Dan is underestimating how big a wolf is.

My friend agrees that he (my friend) could take a wolf, and contends that the average grey wolf is less than 90 pounds and stands no chance.

Size doesn't matter--don't fuck with wolves. They don't even need to kill to win (unfortunately I can't find a video example) because they'll just wait for their target to bleed out, instead.

The average human doesn't stand a chance in any capacity. Dan and your buddy are utterly mad.

There's this well known story involving a Police German Shepard and the Macho Man Randy Savage. A wolf is not a German Shepard and Dan Ryckert certainly is not the Macho Man Randy Savage.

 

[Tubobutts]

Also I just realized it's been a while since Dan said he could escape from prison.

You're friend doesn't seem like a very smart person. Don't fuck with wolves. Wolves usually don't even attack people.

Yeah, if you find yourself fighting a wolf it's probably because you took a swing at a fucking wolf.

Dan realising how he could have sniped Busey at 40:51 is fantastic.

Let's get Dan to talk about politics. That should go over well

Catching up on HitDan because I forgot that was gonna be today and im overjoyed Brad "Dr Sniper" Shoemaker finally pulled off an elusive target

 

[Data West]

I need Abzu to be good. Quadrilateral Cowboy didn't hit it for me despite the gameplay mechanics of it being potentially cool. A potential it never comes close to meeting.

Trump lost the Dan vote when he didn't name Vince McMahon as his VP.

 

[Death Metalist]

Alt+F1: 91 - Hungarian GP & German GP Prerace 2016

Lang is back to regale us with boat anecdotes and ponder why everyone is so aggro. Maybe F1 should go hang out in Verstappen's van and just, like, chill, man.

Spoiler

Is Lang gonna replace Danny?

Ugh, not listening to another fucking Lang alt f1.

 

[Scizzy]

Let's get Dan to talk about politics. That should go over well

I was scared for a while that Dan would be a strong Trump guy because he really liked that hair vs hair match with Vince McMahon, but he's referred to him as a jerk in passing at least once. And, as best I can recall, the only non-trivial issue I've ever seen him care about is gay marriage, unless the election involves Arnold Schwarzenegger (who I'm pretty sure is pro-gay marriage, actually).

 

[Piston Hyundai]

[santeesioux]

I never understand why you guys are always so worried about Dan's political leanings. Whenever he talks about anything like that he always seems as liberal as any of you guys.

 

[Mr. F]

UPF catchup. Gang Beasts really is the game that won't die huh

 

[Twin Tails]

Ugh, not listening to another fucking Lang alt f1.

You can't escape The Lang Zone.

 

[Jintor]

Dan represents America because he's a normal guy who does normal guy things. He's the canary in the coalmine.

On a side note, it just occurred to me reading about the conventions are hitting the same parts of my brain that I think wrestling would hit and that has me deeply concerned

This wolf is pretty young and it's still dragging still living sheep into the darkness of the woods

I wonder if Jeff's "starbound is like no man's sky, but stuff actually happens" comment with Brad going "oooh too soon man" was because they have the game and this is from experience or if its just a outsider's perspective of what they have seen pre release

Could be, I always listen between the lines when they talk about pre-release stuff, sometimes you can definitely tell how they feel about the game from just a little bit of banter.

I'm going to take it as banter related to all the 'But what do you do' that permeates around NMS.

I also have a history of over analyzing stuff so this could also be true lol.

They might have it already. Over in the NMS thread, these images, from what I assume is from a retailer, were posted:

Guys... No Man's Sky is real and someone already found a copy of it

https://twitter.com/LegacyZ3RO/status/758458333674151936/photo/1

But wait there's more, here is what the side looks like

I'm somewhat surprised to see the SIE logo on the back. Despite the co-marketing with Sony, I thought NMS was all Hello games (development and publishing).

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I also have a history of over analyzing stuff so this could also be true lol.

I would be sad if they disliked it for legitimate reasons to dislike something for.

 

[Data West]

I remember Brad being extremely positive about what he saw of NMS when it first came out. But I want to say Jeff was too? I don't remember him being skeptical at least.

No Man's Sky just looks like Space Truck Simulator to me. The over the top hype cycle it's gotten doesn't really match up with what I've seen.

Yeah. I can't believe that was in 2013. Man, the VGX's. Those were a thing, huh?

Speaking of VRodeo, I can't wait for their inevitable PSVR stream. Surely they'll be doing one. Also, knowing they already have it (as Jeff played it on UPF last year), I really want to see them try NoLimits 2 (it's a very realistic roller coaster simulator) in VR. It has both Oculus and Vive support.

 

[demidar]

I thought Jeff was very cautious about NMS.

When I listen to the podcast today Jeff's response after Brad said "ooh too soon" was like you're right I don't know. I think he was just making a joke and hasn't played it yet.

I feel like if this game was the new Spore someone at Sony would have figured it out and they wouldn't have invested money into it. People are gonna be pissed if it's a super boring sandbox.

I'm still taking a a wait and see stance on it. I'm kind of glad for the two day PC delay. Impression and reviews will be telling me if I should bother or not.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I mean Jeff likes Starbound(kinda?) so surely NMS should be likable to him

Alright, so I can mathematically prove that Dan would lose against a wolf.

Dan is a Commoner with the following stats:

• 1d4 HP; medium size.
• Base Attack of +1 (luck bonus) with 1d3 unarmed damage; and no improvised weapon or unarmed profiency.
• Base speed of 30 feet.
• Armor class of 10 + 1 luck bonus.
• Saving throws of 1's across the board due to a luck bonus.
• No spells or special abilities of any kind, aside from uncanny luck.

altogether giving him a challenge rating of 0.5--roughly twice as strong as a rat.


Meanwhile a standard wolf has the following stats:

• 2d8+4 HP; medium size.
• Base Attack of +1 with 1d6+1 damage and +1 bonus attack on its bite attacks.
• Base speed of 50 feet.
• Saving throws of 5 Fortitude, 5 Reflex, 1 Will.
• Armor class of 14.
• No spells, but capable of tracking (with scent) or tripping opponents, plus minor hiding/spotting abilities.

altogether giving it a challenge rating of 1; a suitable enemy for level 1 adventurers.

At a minimum, Dan would need at about 7 rounds, or roughly 72 seconds, of consecutive hits at maximum damage while evading virtually every hit to successfully incapacitate the wolf. This is keeping in mind that Dan is proficient in no available weapons and suffering from massive attack penalties while also provoking attacks of opportunity in every round. Winning against the wolf would take lottery-sized numbers to pull off. And to be clear, Dan can survive at most two attacks with his allotment of HP.

Consider the case closed. Math wins again!

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Knowing Dan he'd probably just befriend the wolf and they'd be best friends

or something

 

[hamchan]

The wolf would turn out to be Teen Wolf Michael J Fox and he and Dan would go to a strip club or something.

 

[wenis]

This weird loose affiliation Dan has created between Giant Bomb and WWE is both concerning and fantastic. It's fancernistic

Downloaded that gits game since it went open beta. I'll give it a shot at least, even though it didn't look good in ql.
