Did I misheard or did Dan say on the Rocky IV commentary track that he believes America to be the greatest country in the world ?

Dan is a real American, fights for the rights of every man.

 

[Antiwhippy]

People think the country they live in is the greatest. Shock of the century.

I seriously can't believe that Dan would hold such an unconventional, never-before-stated opinion.

It's one of those non-issues that's only a controversial opinion on GAF.

So what if he did? That's like his opinion.

PAX rumbles have shown that Dan can't even fight for his own rights.

Stop the presses!

 

[Antiwhippy]

It seriously boggles my mind though. How could it be possible that a person would hold a country they grew up in, a place where they've had their formative experiences that shaped their personality, how could they possibly hold it in high regard?

Clearly he should have lived in a different country for every year of his life so he can make the definitive statement on which country is the best.

If not he's just a dumbshit jingoistic asshole obviously.

Even if he lived in a different countey, Our The America would be superior!

I hate the country I was born in, America seems great

 

[Myggen]

Norway is pretty cool too.

Wait, Dan shaved his head, do we have a pic?!?

Because he doesn't know about the real greatest country in the world

Seriously: What has Dan ever done that would make you think this is in any way a shocking surprise?

[demidar]

The subtext in this is delicious.

 

[santeesioux]

He doesn't look funny bald as I thought he would, he could totally rock that look.

 

[Zaph]

What did Jimmy do now?

Hopefully he didn't put too much work into OT13

 

[stump sock]

What did Jimmy do now?

I'm starting to see a pattern. an awful lot of people who have been banned lately have been really active in that Metal Gear thread.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Giantbomb Threads confirmed to be cursed. It must have been Coldman, that's why he opted out of doing this OT.

Kenny Powers: Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

 

[Myggen]

JIMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't find anything in his recent post history that should be bannable. But yeah, there seems to have been quite a few bans in the MGS thread...

jimmy wanted a day off, jeez

[Basileus777]

Just hanging out with Barney Frank for some reason.

Is there anyone Dan won't meet?

 

[stump sock]

jimmy wanted a day off, jeez

I still blame Metal Gear

 

[shadyspace]

Dan knowing who Barney Frank is is almost breaking kayfabe as much as that picture of him eating a salad did.

 

[Myggen]

Barney Frank? That's the most random pairing I've seen in a while.

 

[strafer]

yeah I dont like bald Dan.

Hair and bearded Dan is the best.

 

[Zaph]

Probably needed time to prepare his bunker

 

[Basileus777]

Dan's future running mate.

 

[SteveWinwood]

i look forward to dans specific critiques of financial reform from americas legislature

maybe frank finally explained what a mortgage was to dan

or maybe risk pricing of subprime collateralized debt obligations

 

[Haunted]

Fuck yeah he is

It's the little things.

 

[AcridMeat]

Original RUN GFB shirts were a Dave Lang exclusive, so yeah it's just some dude.

In other news, here are some large versions of the beer labels on the Giant Bomb beer the guys were drinking at the panel, courtesy of yours truly:

These are awesome as always.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

So in Pneuma, why didn't they just make it so that the eyes only activated when your center target was over them?

This seems like a really easy solution for all the problems Dan was having with the mechanics of the game.

 

[dan2026]

I don't know why Drew finds Metal Gear so difficult.

Even when I played them as a kid years ago I never found them difficult in the same way he does.

That mechanic seems poorly thought through in general. Someone in the comments mentioned that the game works much better with VR and I can kinda see that, but when it's released even before any VR is commercially available? The game looks immensely frustrating to play.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

That main mechanic in Pneuma: Breath of Life looks so dumb.

Also the writing seemed pretty average. But it tries soooooooo hard to be clever and fun that it just feels painfull.

That... still sounds super imprecise.

Totally agree there.

What's with Jeff's tweet about him and Dan playing Blitz? Is there a video anywhere?

Not that I know of, probably just something they played at PAX.

maybe they strapped the Blitz machine into a roller coaster?

In Boston at this time of year? They'd have to have a death wish.
