god Dan is so bad at talking about games

 

[Blitzrules240]

Don't eat during the opening discussion of the Beastcast.

 

[MassiveNights]

Dan's Walmart love, oh boy

 

[Human Trashcan]

god Dan is so bad at talking about games

It's hard to believe he genuinely wrote for a living for a long time

 

[SuperBanana]

Wait the ballistic mask isn't an armour piece?

Wait, what???

 

[patapuf]

Wait the ballistic mask isn't an armour piece?

Nope, none of the facegear does anything. It's all cosmetic.

We're all just AI constructs helping Dan live out his ideal dream world in VR.

Writing and talking about games are two different things though.

Yeah but it's not like he's a great writer either. His reviews are super boilerplate.

Omg please do a series where Vinny build Dan an amiibo shelf.

Gotta say as an amateur woodworker i get a kick whenever Vinny talks about his woodworking stuff.

I have no interest in woodworking myself, but you have to appreciate the genuine pride Vinny takes in his work.

That's the best part about craft is that you get a tangible object that you can be proud of.

Or you get a failed piece, but that's part of the fun as well.

his writing isn't terrible. it's not -- like -- top tier or consistently inspired, but it's usually compact and rhythmic and a step above "video game review"-tier.

Let's join the same game. You can put it on and I'll shoot you in the face and we'll see.

What if you get a tangible object and you are proud of it but then you eventually notice something is slightly wrong and then in trying to fix it you make it worse and then end up destroying it and never making anything again?

 

[Airbar]

You guys think I should sent in a mail to the BeastCast with photos of my recent and first real woodworking project? I've been enjoying the work tremendously and can really relate to Vinny's elated feeling concerning the craft.

Add about your anxiety and how it helps, and you have a golden email.

That would be the one feature I would be interested in these days.

I think bluehole can ban you for that.

Fuck you have no idea how true this is.

 

[Human Trashcan]

I wouldn't say that it is, I think the general quality has gone up of late and Dan's reviews read like some 2000-ass videogame reviews.

 

[Airbar]

Well I can add about my depression I'm combating for the past 4 years, so I could get Alex on board as well, right guys? Right?
And to not be a downer, I'm totally fine with my depression, to be honest I feel better than ever before mainly thanks to the depression and what it tought me about myself.

 

[Strax]

Weird that someone would cosplay as the bad guy from Lazy Town.

I always thought that EA's android CEO could pull off a great cosplay of the bad guy in Lazy Town.

Sad to know he has maybe 2-3 months to live. Fantastic actor.

I tell you french polishing is really starting to take a toll on my hands

Imagine being this bothered by someone playing a video game poorly.

I'm real lazy at finishing pieces off.

The last thing i made was an outdoor piece so i just didn't bother.

That was some of the best content they had all last year.

 

[LiK]

Somehow Leigh Alexander still left a mark that hasn't healed lol

 

[slightconfuse]

Dan sounds like a crazy person on the beastcast.

 

[cb1115]

uh is "Kingdom Heartache" what i think it is

 

[Plasma]

Pyre Boylt.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Karspankey]

Yooooo, PUBG is at 6mil now. Was at 4mil like less than a month ago.

 

[AuthenticM]

Uhh, what is this Kingdom Heartache feature? And when was it announced?

 

[Airbar]

Oh god please no ...

confession: haven't read any review on the site for the better part of the year -- i might be misremembering or dan may be getting worst without editors / critical oversight

 

[Tubobutts]

I don't know if it was announced outside of just appearing on the schedule but it stands to reason that it's Brad and Ben giving out dating advice while playing a Kingdom Hearts mod of DoTA.

There haven't been that many, so don't worry! There have been 7 this year:

 

[DanLongman]

Dan really is completely dismissive. Like he realizes he's a professional right. 'it's just a fucking cartoon' like come on. Use your words you uncouth fool

 

[Death Metalist]

Can we just name DJ MAX RESPECT GOTY already?

Abby likes ranked splatoon 2.

She's officially not a baby like alex and dan.

Speaking of Abby, her favorite game of the year so far is Night In The Woods. I'm glad someone else other than Alex will shine a light on this game come GOTY time.

Uhh, what is this Kingdom Heartache feature? And when was it announced?

Yesterday. Donald & Goofy are going to be playing through a modded version of Kingdom Hearts.

Hell yeah.

Glad someone at giantbomb recognises it.

Also you know what's the one online thing nintendo did right with the switch? Being able to purchase from other region stores with your own credit card.

Having to create an Hong kong PSN account and then buy codes for it is such a pain.

 

[avengers23]

Weird

Splatoon is a game of skill.

And Dan's skill: low.

 

[Death Metalist]

Since you guys are talking about reviews, y'all should watch the Locoroco Remaster QL

 

[daveo42]

I shouldn't be surprised by Dan's reasons for not liking Pyre, but goddamn is he missing out on some fantastic gaming stories because "fucking static cartoons".

 

[wenis]

Alright, I bought a Switch and it was bundled with Splatoon 2.

Now to make the very hard decision if I should rebuy breath Of the wild and start from scratch after 150 hours on the WiiU version

Yes if you buy the DLC and play in Hero Mode.

i hope no one at giantbomb is stream sniping
