Jason and Dan did a worked Street Fighter match on UPF with the stips being loser leaves town, then Jeff told Dan to get out and then they cut to a pre-recorded video where Dan leaves Giant Bomb offices.

Oh, if Jason beat Dan in Street Fighter, it's obviously a work.

 

[Basileus777]

GBEast needs a straight man. Brad and to some extent Drew do a good job of playing off of Jeff and Dan's over the top personalities and antics. I'm not sure GBeast has that person. On podcasts it feels like they are all turned to 11.

Huh? Alex is the best straight man they have for Dan.

 

[BUNTING1243]

I'm glad they are doing some weird shit, but Dan going to East permanently would cripple West and kinda mess with East's vibe.

I hope to be wrong though! they've earned my trust to do weird shit and have it work out!

There is absolutely zero chance Dan is becoming a Giant Bomb East permanent member.

Someone remember this for the thread title if he leaves. It's the East curse.

 

[Rhaknar]

Maybe Dan's GF has a gig in NY and they are moving there?

Jeff's comment at about 13:30 in today's Mailbag. Foreshadowing!?

Jeff's comment at about 13:30 in today's Mailbag. Foreshadowing!?

What was the comment?

 

[jambo]

Jeff on vacation next week so Brad, Jason & Drew Bombcast.

I love that Jeff is just completely ignoring the Dan stuff on Mixlr :lol

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Jeff just said they don't have No Man's Sky yet.

 

[Mister Negative]

Oh yeah, the guy who paid 1200 dollars or whatever for no man's sky. he wrote a big post on reddit explaining himself, but the explanation was basically just "I am very wealthy and spent 1200 dollars for an early video game because I can."

 

[MassiveNights]

Jeff on vacation next week so Brad, Jason & Drew Bombcast

Dan said he would be on the Bombcast

 

[KingKong]

Jeff just said they don't have No Man's Sky yet.

No... Mas... Guy

mas - taco bell slogan
guy - Dan calls himself a regular guy

put it all together, people

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I like how every single comment made by any GB member in the last few weeks can now suddenly totally mean something!

 

[Zebetite]

Dan said he would be on the Bombcast

he asked, "Do you need me on the Bombcast next Tuesday?" to which Jeff replied, "GET OUT."

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Hitman becoming a competition makes even more sense though. That format can easily work cross coast.



Or ya know. Maybe Dan is moving to Oakland and he will be on the bombcast next week

or giantbomb is moving back out to the burbs

 

[Kyou]

Jeff referring to Dan in the past tense when answering questions on his mixlr

"Drew arrives early"
"Dan would also arrive early"

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Oh shit the recording of UPF tonight ends with a RUN GFB transition. It's blink-and-you'll-miss-it

 

[Twin Tails]

Jeff referring to Dan in the past tense when answering questions on his mixlr

Maybe he doesn't arrive early anymore? Or maybe?

 

[Salarians]

Huh? Alex is the best straight man they have for Dan.

Alex/Dan is an incredible duo.

 

[robotrock]

Alex/Dan is an incredible duo.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

I'm not trusting anything they say right now.

Yep.

 

[jbug617]

Jeff is right with No Man Sky and the hype of it might end up having some people disappointed by it.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

thats true for any game tho

 

[Megasoum]

I can't believe Jeff actually name dropped the "Only the Strong" movie tonight lmao...

I love that movie.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

GAF will have a breakdown.

 

[jbug617]

He said that their messaging hasn't been clear so people might be expecting something it's not. He think it's a survival game in space and he is looking forward to it.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

GAF will have a breakdown.

I mean

People should have realized what kind of game it's going to be since we started getting details. A minecraft/terraria esque game sans the building, focused on the exploration in a sci-fi setting.

He said that there messaging hasn't been clear so people might be expecting something it's not. He think it's a survival game in space and he is looking forward to it.

I see, yeah. I always pegged it as a survival game in space. Wonder what impressions people got out of it?

 

[MassiveNights]

The messaging has been super clear IMO.

 

[TraBuch]

Are they still doing the stupid five star wanted system? Because that single-handedly turned me off the game.

 

[wenis]

This is some "Patrick wears a hat this season" storyline.

 

[Data West]

Jeff is right with No Man Sky and the hype of it might end up having some people disappointed by it.

I feel like the ridiculous hype for it was born from games journalist though.

 

[Salarians]

If No Man's Sky had a different aesthetic I'd probably have zero interest in it.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I don't think I've seen a five star system? Under your healthpack there are what appear to be crosses..which are more reminiscent of like, health pack icons.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I was going to post this earlier:

So, context is Greg was checking in on the construction of Kinda Funny's new studio, which is close to where Dan lives. They won't be moving into it until late August or September (if all goes well). That tweet makes it seem like Dan's not going anywhere.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Man. I really hope I'll be able to watch next week's Bombcast live to see the resolution of this storyline.

I'm going to make a prediction and say this whole thing is an elaborate shoot for PAX Wrestling (perhaps combined with Dan moving to GBEast and/or the JV Road Trip). Aaron Trites mentioned on Twitter that Dan sent him a 'totally bonkers' email this afternoon. On top of the GFB plug at the end of the stream, this seems like some prime wrestling bullshit.

Rubbish Ronnie Garbage is from the OSW Review podcast

 

[MadLaughter]

Dan seems like the kind of guy that would want his actual exit to also be a wrestling themed thing so I dunno. Hopefully it's nothing but the anxiety is bumming me out.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Rubbish Ronnie Garbage is from the OSW Review podcast

they mention that on UPF, mark

 

[hamchan]

Dan leaving Giant Bomb is as likely as WWE firing John Cena.

 

[KillerDark]

Can someone please explain what run gfb is to a relatively new giant bomb fan (last October or so) ?

 

[Megasoum]

I mean Dan keeps repeating everywhere that GB his pretty much his dream job... I really don't see him leaving.

Going to the east coast would make sense considering that he went there recently (HR Interview) and his girlfriend is from New Jersey.

That's from a while back though. The 26 minute video that got recorded today did have a sentinel attack, the player, but there was no star accruing ~

Oh, I misunderstood you. Thought you were saying you've never seen a five star system in NMS, but I guess you were saying you didn't see any system in the most recent videos?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Oh, I misunderstood you. Thought you were saying you've never seen a five star system in NMS, but I guess you were saying you didn't see any system in the most recent videos?

Nah. He did have a sentry attack him(NMS Spoilers for the 26 minute video? @_@), but it didn't summon more sentries nor was there any system that lit up as if he was in danger(Like GTAs system).

It's possible that the crosses were the 'warning system', but they were below his health, looked like medkits, and next to a shield icon(I'm assuming that meant the players shield.) Also, the life support in the inventory had crosses like the 5 under his health(Shield?)

And he was gathering alotta resources, and no sentries popped up

 

[alr1ght]

Man, that was some bad acting. RV trip confirmed. Johnny V to GBWest and Dan to GBEast.

 

[Data West]

no surprise that the people who say 'snes' say 'ohlead'

disgusting

 

[BearPawB]

is this a work or a shoot?

 

[Lunar FC]

Da fuq. 'Ohlead' just sounds cool..
