How far does this ball of twine unravel? Will I need to look inside myself for answers?
 
Oh god. I'm finally watching the Mario Party archive, this is so hilarious.

Does Dan's sister audio every get fixed in the stream? Right now his mic is picking up the voice but you can't really hear much.

No
What you hear is the mic likely picking up audio through his TV or earphone. I believe Sony doesn't allow in-game chat to be streamed/recorded.
 
Dan is a gift that keeps on giving. He's like a genetic experiment to craft the ideal Giant Bomb editor that went freakishly wrong in the best way possible.

Also, getting weird and creepy on the staff is one thing, but come on, friends/family are off limits.
 
Was the image of Dan and Brad mirrored? They're holding the Wiimotes in their left hand from the perspective of the video and they are right-handed, so I guess that's the case.


Like Dan's dad, my dad liked the original Wii bowling too. Warning 7 year old video

Yeah they always mirror the images when you see them on screen (like for Kinect stuff for example).

Also lmao at Dan's bowling shoe story
 
the Mario Party video is one of the best on the site. I'm really liking Dan's contributions to the site so far. :p
 
The video is premium anyway, I would hope that most premium members would eventually stumble upon such a video!
 
Just wanted to say that a few months ago, I felt nothing but doom and gloom about Giant Bomb. With Vinny leaving and Brad and Jeff bickering, I was worried.

I cant say how wrong I ended up being. The recent changes and additions to the cast have made this some extremely entertaining content. Dan is so perfect for this site that its a shame he couldnt have been here sooner. Brad hosting the podcast is also a very welcome change. I still like when Jeff hosts, but by making Brad the host, he is ALWAYS engaged. No more sleepingbrad.gif, which has helped the overall feel of the show.

Sorry for going so meta, but just wanted to say that I really love the direction they are going now.


Keep it up guys.

Yeah, I had no problem with Jeff hosting, but making Brad host is an ingenious way of keeping him from falling asleep.

I was very down on the site for awhile too, has been KILLER since my main man Dan joined the cast.
 
Is Sean Connery really playing a Russian sub captain (with a Scottish accent)? Or am I missing something? I'm not all the way through it yet.

You talking about Hunt for Red October? If so, then Sean Connery is indeed a Russian Submarine Captain. If I recall correctly, the way that the narration plays out is that in the movie, they are talking to each other in their native language, but to the viewer, it's just English.

100% agree.

I really wish Jason would show up more on video, though.

If an actor can't do an accent well then I'd prefer they not do one at all. See: Connery in HfRO and Tom Cruise in Valkyrie. Not to mention the scores of British actors who play Nazis but speak in their natural accents.
