That's if you ignore the potential impact that the lack of Dan would have on the West's content output.

The obvious answer is that we would get more, Brad "The Hitman" Shoemaker.

If you put the letter "S" in front of "Hitman," you have my exact opinion of Brad Shoemaker.
There are other factors surrounding Dan's move, but I don't think I should divulge them lest someone call me a creep (again). That said, if you've been following them on twitter you'd probably have an idea of what I'm talking about.
I wouldn't be surprised if it does become a permanent situation. Dan and Vinny play off each other so well. That Hitman episode and the super random rant about shampoo and beads was incredible.

Trying to awake the Rudds I see.
But you're also ignoring that the site gets a new hire either way. I'd rather see West get a new face because what I really want is for Jeff to have a solid improv partner to riff with again. As much as Dan brought to the site, nobody's come close to filling the 'yes, and' hole that Ryan and Vinny left out west.

So that's where Heath Slater is going to end up
So instead of straight out saying it you try to reduce the impact of it in a childish post. That's a cop-out.

Well that definitely falls under the "No anime" rule, so I'm afraid you've committed a foul either way.

That No Man's Sky patch is only 824mb. I am all pre-loaded and ready to go.
Didn't that come out months ago?
It did get a big patch recently with some changes and additions.
I bought it on Amazon because I had a lot of rewards money, gonna be a long wait

Yeah me too, Hello Games are doing their own livestream at 11:30 pacific with gameplay and talk about development.
These Castlevania games have really tested the limits of the Vinny-can-make-anything-entertaining theory. Hopefully SotN will be the final one.

I have no interest in them streaming SotN. the only challenge in that game is not getting lost and finding items, and I don't really think watching people wander around a map looking for things they missed is that compelling.
Chances for an impromptu "It's better than nothing" post-mortem?

Castlevania 64 please
Creep eh?
It must be that Dan is settling down, getting married and becoming a family man despite always claiming he's never going to do that.

Castlevania 64 please
now this I'd enjoy
Don't worry he'll still die on the bosses quite a bit.
I think it'd also be interesting because of the general importance of that game in popularizing the whole Metroidvania thing.
They reworked it a lot since the launch was really rough. Hence the 'back from hell' subtitle.
I kinda agree. It's not very well suited for entertaining streams.
Soundtrack is cool, at least.

Right now the current "crafting loop" looks like the type of game I recently realized I have 0% interest in playing anymore, so I'm really waiting on anything that make it look compelling for me. There needs to be more than "find this stuff to upgrade my ship to find some more stuff to upgrade the ship to get to the middle of the galaxy" at the heart of it

Slain is pretty good now. Only took about 4 hours to beat, but it was a nice, challenging romp. Level design is a decent mix of action and very light platforming to break up the pace. Bosses are disappointingly easy, though the last one is a bit tedious. Aesthetically, it definitely commits to metal throughout, and it hits more than it misses. Some of the fire and running water effects look out of place, though. The soundtrack is easy enough to bang yr head to, but I wish it covered more subgenres rather than sticking to thrashy riffs for the most part. The non-metal music is surprisingly good at setting up the mood, and weirdly enough I kind of wish there was more of it.
Overall, if you're into metal and/or deliberately paced action platformers, go for it.

Tomb of the giants?
I love that game! Such a great throwback and so incredibly polished.
Though Vinnyvania is going chronologically so Rebirth is ways of if we ever get there.

from the neo thread.
I'll be the contrarian and say that I would love watching Vinny wander around lost in a castle looking for items. SOTN is such a wonderful game, that I could watch just about anyone play it forever. I understand that I am probably an outlier on this, but I really want to see Vinny get thought SOTN.
