I hope it's only temp. I think Dan fits more naturally with the core team rather than the NY guys. Specifically having Jeff to be a foil

My guess is that it would be temporarily because Jason said that he was happy to get a break from Dan.

 

[Data West]

For being so wrestling minded, Dan sure screwed up shaving his head instead of making the match a hair vs hair match

 

[Tubobutts]

My guess is that it would be temporarily because Jason said that he was happy to get a break from Dan.

Thats because Jason is going to join Dan on the east coast eventually, and Vinny will move back west for the Persona 5 endurance run.

As weird as it sounds, I'm kind of excited for Jason without Dan. Much of what he does seems to involve Dan and whenever he is livestreaming (Extra Life, etc...) the majority of the questions he gets seem to be about working/dealing with Dan. So I'm looking forward to him without Dan in the picture.

"get the fuck out of my studio"

lol

Yeah, and sometimes his frustration with Dan is palpable, which can sometimes become grating to watch/listen to.

 

[popo]

Bianca's having trouble adjusting to SF, so Dan moving to GBEast does make sense (assuming this isn't some joke)

What are they doing right now?

 

[Salarians]

Yes, give us more Danless Jason.

The world is too cruel a place for Jason to ever be free of Dan.

 

[Meneses]

Lost in all this hubbub is the fact that there's still no video supercut of Drew's jokes / impressions.

Please, video-skilled GB fans!

 

[demidar]

Yes, give us more Danless Jason.

Danless Jason sounds like a Legendary card in Hearthstone.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Every time I visit this thread I have to reread the last 2 pages to see if I missed something cause everybody talks like somebody just confirmed something.

 

[funkystudent]

What if Dan just takes a few days vacation and goes out of town for a bit.


The stipulation was "loser leaves town". Doesnt say anything about leaving and then coming back,

 

[Salty Catfish]

I'm still betting on this being some kind of goofy lead-up to PAX. If it was anything major like an office shift they probably would have put out a legitimate announcement by now.

 

[tonka]

and what if monday morning rolls around and nothing has happened?

Dan is a cartoon character/wrestler if you haven't forgotten, the universe resetting at the end of the week makes perfect sense

 

[Twin Tails]

has Dan been Jojo'd yet?

It's Dan, though.

That's what I thought when they did the bit on UPF.

I wonder if they could actually end a live show like that.

Do they have the technology?

 

[alr1ght]

Dan will simply come back with a new gimmick in a month, just like in wrasslin.

 

[Tubobutts]

Dan will simply come back with a new gimmick in a month, just like in wrasslin.

He can be reintroduced as Danny's cousinwho just moved to America "Danny O'Ryckert".

 

[demidar]

Dan left, but this mysterious new hire from Parts Unknown named the UnDantaker will fill his spot.

His likes include Wrestling, Metal Gear and Mario Party.

Oh, they have the technology.

3 months, tops.

 

[Salty Catfish]

It's Dan, though.

This is true.

I wonder if his reddit thing this week will shed any light on it or if he'll just play it straight/not respond to questions about it (like Jeff on mixlr).

 

[Concrete Charlie]

When Dan was walking away they blew the perfect chance to use this great piece of tv music:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntv9R1She5A

Spoiler

Hulk walking away theme from the tv series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno.

 

[Quenk]

This is true.

The reddit thing is on Tuesday so I imagine they'll bring it up on the bombcast first.

 

[Twin Tails]

Only Dan had to leave town. They didn't say anything about BROKEN Dan Ryckert.

where is he gonna put the white highlight? he has no hair!

 

[Anticol]

It was kinda telling that Dan was moving to NY when he was there some weeks back, looking back He probably went to look for places to live or something.

Another thing is, now that Dan is moving there, who is gonna replace him in the SF studio, who is gonna be the addition to them?

Hopefully O'Dwyer.

 

[Twin Tails]

His beard.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

where is he gonna put the white highlight? he has no hair!

I'm picturing Dan with a streak of white paint on the side of his head

 

[OdysseusVA]

Why doesn't Dan do an AMA here? What does he have against GAF? Nuke his account pls

 

[TraBuch]

So Dan is going to GBE and Griffin McElroy is moving to SF to join GBW?

 

[Fjolle]

and what if monday morning rolls around and nothing has happened?

Dan is a cartoon character/wrestler if you haven't forgotten, the universe resetting at the end of the week makes perfect sense

Remember that they don't work* on mondays. We have to wait until the bombcast, where he surely will announce what he's doing (as he's doing an AMA about it on reddit afterwards).

*As in do stuff that we see.

So Dan is going to GBE and Griffin McElroy is moving to SF to join GBW?

Danny finally got his green card marriage, so now he can quit Gamespot.

 

[Cross-Section]

I did my best.

Wonderful.

 

[Quenk]

Could this be the return of Project BEAST? Dan involved with Kerbal has the potential to be hilarious.

 

[SomberOwl]

I miss Jar Time.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

These past couple weeks have felt pretty content light. This next week without Dan and Jeff is going to be a desert.

 

[Twin Tails]

Time for Breaking Brad: DOOM

 

[popo]

These past couple weeks have felt pretty content light. This next week without Dan and Jeff is going to be a desert.

To be fair there isn't much out. Some indie stuff but they only really get animated for big releases.

IDK why we still have this summer slowdown. DOOM and Overwatch showed that if you have a decent game it will sell regardless. Instead publishers put all their big games out after September and cannibalise their own sales. I am so bored I would even play an assassin creed game (or watchdogs 2) if they put it out now. Come the holiday season I will have better things to do.

I've had enough kerbals for a year or so

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Yeah, they can really use somebody who has no idea what he is doing. That's what Project Beast was missing. I'm really good on the Kerbal stuff. It was fun while it lasted but it doesn't need to return.

 

[Mechanized]

Please oh please god do not let Dan be done with Giant Bomb. He is the best thing to ever happen to the site. A move to the east coast would be cool, but I can't handle him leaving. ;_;

 

[Basileus777]

Dan in NY would be great just because they desperately need a 3rd man and could use a bit of a shake-up post-Austin. Dan actually pushes for new video series and there's all sorts of potential with him and Alex or Vinny.

 

[Chuck]

It kinda seems like some of you guys didn't watch the segment.

It's SO apparent that Dan is going to the NY office, just rewatch it.

 

[Twin Tails]

Dan in East means free haircuts from papa vinny.

Sure, but that just means it would have been a great time to do a supplementary stream or Old Games Show or something, anything.

 

[TraBuch]

The cool thing about a site like Giant Bomb? They don't need new releases for new videos. It's a slow time of year for big releases? Play some old games. Play some demos. Talk over some conferences.

Do something.
