I often find myself wondering what life would be like if Nintendo managed to capture a few human beings and tested their products on them before release. It would really help the company's perspective on earthlings.

I fully expected them to just release a dpad joycon or one where the stick and buttons are switched. But since they are 50 bucks, that would get really expensive.

edit: One is 50, both are 80. It's nuts.

just spend the 70 dollars or whatever on a pro controller so you can actually have a d-pad

Jesus Christ what are they doing

For a quick session of Mario Kart it should be fine. Not like you're using that single controller for longer singleplayer sessions.

When MS and Sony were arrogant, they at least were coming off of huge success. Nintendo's in the toilet right now. They're just massively fucking up
 
Dans fear of cars is insane, is this the first time he's talking about

Him and his father have talked about how bad of a driver he is, but bailing out of your car and locking yourself out because you think your wipers are going to blow you up is a new level.

Also most jumper cables are color coded to be idiot proof....just not Dan proof.

How often do cars blow up in america that Dan thinks this could happen to him?

Welcome to 2014.

Maybe that's why Dan left. Cause nobody in SF would indulge his constant questions anymore? I think Brad probably stopped after the Shadow of Mordor QL in which Dan didn't understand the concept of the Red Book of Westmarch

I have a fear of driving cars because I feel like I would be such a bad driver that I would crash it, and I have a fear of having the resposobililty of not harming anyone whilst driving on the road. I always get nervous when someone is driving slightly above the speed limit on roads.

It's perfectly normal to have respect for a big metal box that can kill people with every big mistake that you make. But the worst drivers don't have a fear of that, I would say, so you're good.

Oh man, you'd hate driving in Cali. You have to stay 5 miles above the limit to just match everyone's speeds.
 
Dude basically killed himself because Western treatment of cancer was rubbish. No sympathy.

You dont have to feel sympathy, or even like him (I think his politics were crazy) but his music was amazing. Like to each his own but to just say flat out Bob Marley was awful, thats just wrong on so many levels.

I think Dan's taste in music is the result of an experiment where they locked him in a basement for the first 25 years of his life, only with his dad's record collection up until the point he was born.
 
I'm only 30 minutes in and this is the list of Dan's question from Giant Machines 2017 QL thus far:

Is silicon an element that grows in the ground?
Is silicon the same as silicone?
This is ska, right?
Do I like ska?
That's a clamp?
What is this facility? Are you harvesting sand?
What do you get out of carving a mountain?
When you're digging is there a chance you could tap into gold?
Is there a special satellite or fish finder to detect where gold is going on?
Do they do the thing with guys in jail that break rocks?
Why did that (breaking rocks) become a prison work thing?
This is where the guys in Armageddon work - or was it an oil rig?
Why is it a bucket wheel? Where is the bucket?
Are you supposed to put your machine's butt on that?
Is this Shaggy?
Is this Shenmue?
Is that a monologue from Fight Club?
Is this Nine Inch Nails?
Have you ever been in the cockpit of a plane?
Have you ever done a donut?
Did you ever pick up a tire?
Do you have to have a special car lifter in your trunk?
(A jack) is the the thing that goes ee ooh ee ooh, right?
You have to have a big crazy drill to take out all the bolts?
The wheel is different than the tire?
An axle is the thing that goes through the car and there's a front axle and a rear axle and there are tires on both sides, right?
The rim is connected to the axle?
Why do you have to take the rim off the axle if you're just putting the rubber part on the outside?
The rim is full of air?
How do you fill the tire?
When people say they got new rims its just the hubcap part?
You put the hubcap on top of the rims?
There's like tiny tires that come inside a lot of cars, right?
Are these machines stealth bomber expensive?
You probably have to have a permit (to use the machine) right?

if i just vomit out stupid questions, surely one of them will lead to a goofy tangent !!

I appreciate Vinny trying to get Dan to explain why he doesn't like something instead of just going "It sucks because I don't like it and I don't like it because it sucks."

I hope Alex snaps and starts asking Dan a bunch of questions through an entire video, until it gets awkward, to make a point.

I really want someone, anyone to reverse that on him.

Man, Dan's GBeast honeymoon ended fast. I blame retelling that story about the terrible Kojima interview on the Beastcast.

Content from both coasts has been great so far this year.

and exposing his reasons for disliking something to be shallow and/or based off a gut feeling because of one or two bad experiences with it.

To be fair, if you'd ask me why I don't like a particular music genre I doubt I could come up with a better explanation than "I think it sounds bad"
 
I love this Switch chat video just for the Mario Odyssey discussion going straight from "yeah looks strange!" into Luigi throat slitting fanfiction.
 
I almost feel bad for Dan, it's almost like he's never had anyone in his life who cares about him enough to tell him to shut up/push him to actually learn anything.

I'm surprised the duders out west didn't give him a harder time more often tbh.
