i dont think you get the joke

I'm not even sure which joke it is anymore.

"Dan Ryckert ‏@DanRyckert 1m
Looking forward to publishing my 14-part series about how Wolfenstein: The New Order taught me to live and love."

"Eric Pope ‏@MrPope 32s
that's some classic @DanRyckert tweeting"

lol

 

[BrandonPckrfn]

99% sure that it's polygon and not giantbomb.

No way, he is trolling the shit out of Polygon on his twitter right now.

 

[Wunder]

Holy shit relistening to this Jenova Chen bit is fucking GREAT

 

[Hot Coldman]

I'm not even sure which joke it is anymore.

the joke is he's obviously joining Giant Bomb

 

[Santiako]

Last time Ryckert was on the Bombcast, he got Jenova Chen to say "duckface", so yeah he's perfect

Listening to that, Ryan was so much better at hosting than Jeff.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I dunno man, from what I know of Dan he would totally troll his next employer.

Though goddamnit now I can't really tell either.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Looking forward to publishing my 14-part series about how Wolfenstein: The New Order taught me to live and love.

Yeah, no he is CLEARLY actually going to work for Polygon. I fucking love Dan. I watched him play Ride to Hell for like 8 hours.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Antiwhippy cant break kayfabe

Such a mark.

 

[MadLaughter]

Here's a small paint graphic I made showing 4 people's avatars that actually work for polygon, and Dan's shitty facsimile (which makes it even funnier).

 

[Blastoise]

I can live with this. Very excited about giantbombs future!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Watch as it turns out that Polygon is taking their... whatever their Quick Look equivalent thing is, to the next level and Dan actually is going there (hence the tweet about being on videos).

 

[graboids]

Dan Ryckert tweeted about looking for a new apt... But didn't say in which city he was looking... Must be SF because he is the new hire! ... I wish....

holy crap, if this happens... I was seriously just joking when I posted this, no clue he was actually moving to SF....

there is no better choice in my eyes than Dan Ryckert, GB is the perfect home for the author of Air Force Gator.

 

[funkystudent]

"First piece for the new gig is called "Swinging Locks." I'm giving the animator who gave life to Dixie Kong's ponytail his 27,000 word due."

"Next up is "Switching Gear." Were frequent users of AKI Man in WCW/NWO Revenge more prone to developing latex fetishes later in life?"



Dan is great. GREAT!

 

[Mr.Towel]

UPF featuring Dan's dad.

This has to happen.

 

[Incandenza]

It's starting to seem like half the gaming industry got laid off / switched jobs in the past two weeks.

Brief Glances with Daniel Ryckert

 

[Jokab]

It's starting to seem like half the gaming industry got laid off / switched jobs in the past two weeks.

It's all just to troll the people in this thread.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I CANT WAIT FOR DAN AND VINNY QUICK LOOKS....

Oh, wait.... :/

 

[Antiwhippy]

Just to be clear though totally cool if it's Dan. He'll for in pretty well.

 

[LegoArmo]

This man is hilarious. Oh my.

 

[Treythalomew]

Can't believe someone at Polygon hasn't said something to him yet, they usually really dislike when people make fun of them.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I CANT WAIT FOR DAN AND VINNY QUICK LOOKS....

Oh, wait.... :/

I can't wait for Dan to troll Brad in every single QL they do together

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Just interviewed the lead designer of Farming Simulator 2014, and his lack of response to my numerous Monsanto questions is troublesome.

Please, this needs to happen.

 

[alr1ght]

Maybe Dan is trolling you by saying he's moving to San Francisco. Boom.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Can't believe someone at Polygon hasn't said something to him yet, they usually really dislike when people make fun of them.

They were pretty cool when giantbomb trolled their dumb trailer where gies got a tattoo.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Maybe Dan is trolling you by saying he's moving to San Francisco. Boom.

I would actually believe that.

 

[SlowRevolution]

now I'm gonna be bummed out if it's not dan.

 

[My Name Is Luke]

Listening to that, Ryan was so much better at hosting than Jeff.

I've been stuck listening to the Bombcast Rewind station on Mixlr and man, does it make me miss that guy.

[EmCeeGramr]

this is going to end with dan shouting "NO ONE will be hiring me!", jumping into that new spacex capsule, and rocketing off into the infinite blackness

 

[Phatmac]

PLease join giant bomb Dan. You're a great guy for the job.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

this is going to end with dan shouting "NO ONE will be hiring me!", jumping into that new spacex capsule, and rocketing off into the infinite blackness

Maybe Air Force Gator 2 or Former Baseball Player Sucks At Crowdfunding sold like a billion copies and he is just retiring, playing pranks on people till the end of time.

 

[Zaph]

The spoof profile pic and the tweets have to be a piss take right? He's not really going to Polygon?

Not even gonna lie, I'd be salty as fuck if Polygon nab him. That place is a directionless cesspool which tries to do everything hoping some shit will stick.

 

[rakhir]

God dammit, if it's Dan I'll be fucking stoked!
I totally watched Game Informer replay since forever, and Dans Tail of the Sun super replay (basically an Endurance Run) is pretty much a perfect piece of entertainment.

 

[shadyspace]

Dan's a lot like Ryan in a lot of ways. Would be perfect.

Alex Navarro ‏@alex_navarro 1m
If San Francisco burns to the ground sometime in the next month, know that it's probably @DanRyckert's doing.

yeah that's confirmation

someone make the thread

 

[LiK]

Danny and Alex are already tweeting him back. This is too obvious. Lol

 

[LegoArmo]

Too obviously a cruel joke.

This... This is a good outcome.

 

[Brashnir]

Danny and Alex are already tweeting him back. This is too obvious. Lol

Jason Schreier at Kotaku is tweeting at him too.

 

[Blastoise]

Today was a good day.

 

[SlowRevolution]

this is going to end with dan joining comic vine.

 

[MadLaughter]

Dan also removed the Polygon avatar.

 

[Brick]

If this is all a joke and Dan isn't really going to Giant Bomb, I'm gonna be really pissed at whoever they actually end up hiring.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

One thing is for certain, if it isn't Dan now I'll be super bummed.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

this is going to end with dan joining comic vine.

That's right Anime Vice is coming back at ya

 

[sub_o]

If this is all a joke and Dan isn't really going to Giant Bomb, I'm gonna be really pissed at whoever they actually end up hiring.

What about say, Carrie Gouskos? I can listen to her banter with Jeff all day long, about JRPGs and frag dolls nonetheless, or Gizmondo.
