Don't want it without Rorie on it somehow.
Dingding.

This whole time we were worried about Waypoint poaching Abby when in reality GB poaches Danika
Seems like they have Deep Silver on the payroll as well.

guys who cares
Pretty much. If it really bothers you, there's always that big UNFOLLOW button but then you won't be able to appreciate #brand #engagement

Alright I just gotta say it.
*deep breath*
Dog bottom isn't funny.
At all.
Vinny and Abby messing around during downtime, fucking hilarious.
But dogbottom does nothing for me.

What made it funny for me was them saying it normally for so long and then suddenly breaking every so often.

It's a joke that becomes funny after you've stared into the abyss for hours on end.

Keep saying it until it has no meaning. Then and only then will you understand.

I am reasonably certain that this entire stupid URL thing started from Keith Carburry of the RunButton Lets Play duo and that fact makes me very happy
(He's been doing it for years and was on the Waypoint launch stream, where it became a thing, where Waypoint started doing it, etc etc)

Fuck yes, that would be incredible. I'm just trying to be reasonable in my expectations.

Welcome to our dark, twisted cyberpunk future.
Doesn't seem very Rorie-like to me.

They seem to be and it never ceases to be a source of great hilarity to me. I wish Danika handled all brands' social media accounts just to see a million nerds instantly burst into flames
I mean, he's not the only one that's done it for years; Jeff and Justin McElroy have both bought weird URLs a lot too, for example.
But it being all due to Keith would be very fitting (and more likely given his closeness to Austin); Run Button's bit of the launch stream is still most of what I've seen of it because I made a point to see them on it (as always I know should watch specific other bits of it still but keep not doing so).
It's the weirdest abstraction of the concept of a company mascot, except the companies are themselves the mascot now.
Imagine if companies like Ford and Disney first came about right now. We'd be getting Henry Ford talking to us about how hip the assembly line is, and Disney himself would be the mascot of their company.
EDIT: LOL I meant Ford and Henry Ford

Now imagine they're rubbing shoulders and making jokes off each other.
Food Fight may be a nightmare movie, but it absolutely will be our future over the course of the next 50 or so years.

Oh the dude who idolizes Don Draper loves brands. Weird.
exactly my thoughts
The brand stuff is complicated for me. Because at the end of the day they're usually representing corporations that just want your money, and are just pandering to get you to give them money, but then you have someone at Arby's being paid to make fucking Steel Ball Run art of all things and that's pretty rad! And there's someone being paid to manage these accounts and I think that's an increasingly important job and some of these people are clearly good at it.
On that note, I think Danika's work is generally pretty great and it definitely gives them a more unique Twitter presence (as well as other places but it's not like I'm seeing the work she puts in on FB) that as far as I can see seems well received by people, and helps cultivate the sense of community around the site.

Only if she goes to East.
