I'm late to the Ryan is a Dick discussion, but I wanted to add:

I agree Ryan is pretty much a dick. His attitude at times rubs me the wrong way (in particular his Marvel Zombie status whenever comics come up); however, I also remember his 3DS GameStop story where he swapped with the 13yo boy so the kid could have the more 'manly' blue 3DS, while Ryan took the more 'girly' purple one. So even a dick has his moments of non-dickness.

He's a dismissive dick, but he's our dismissive dick.
 
They even polled the chat asking if he should play more levels before streaming again (so he's closer to the end) or just put a hold on it till next time. The majority voted to wait for the next stream before he plays more.
 
Everyone's reaction have been staggeringly bad.

Is Ryan the only one who doesn't produce any extra subscriber content? Jeff has Jar Time, Brad has TRotL and Breaking Brad, Vinny has LOLS (acronym joke?) and the random PC game with Dave.
 
I think five pages of Ryan discussion is enough, we can all move on now -_-' Some of us like him, some of us don't, hurray.

Anyway, I'm glad to see a new Breaking Brad...been too long. It's total schadenfreude, but delicious schadenfreude.

I always preferred chewy schadenfreude to chunky.
 
"Do not deliver to an intoxicated person."

Oh wow haha
 
This breaking brad is incredibly frustrating. Probably not a good idea to watch it after a shit day of Dota 2. Brad has the memory of a goldfish!
 
I played an embarrassing amount of Doom 2 in my day. So that influences my opinion of it. In short, I love it.

Jeff's opinion on Doom 2 is surprising. I played just as much Doom 1, and Doom 2 is far superior. And the main reason I think it's better is one of the things they seem not to appreciate - the super shotgun. ALWAYS use the super shotgun. The only time you don't use it is when you only have one shotgun shell left.

Also, the enemies in Doom 2 are better. You still have all the enemies from Doom 1, so it's not like you're losing anything.

Also also, the music in Doom 2 is better.
 
I think the middle third of Doom 2 - when you're supposed to "on Earth" - is weak. The part Brad is playing. That's supposed to be Earth. But the final third is great. Those are some of the best Doom levels.

Now, if you're counting the later-released 4th episode of Doom 1, then those levels are really good too. Thy Flesh Consumed. I remember back in the day, before there was anything like Neogaf to tell me what was coming out, I happened upon a new release of Doom 1, with that new episode. One of the happiest days of my young life.
 
I have no great fondness for PC games of the early 90s, have limited interest in id and FPSes in general, and in fact played more Doom on the 32X than anywhere else. Despite all of that, I have an inexplicable fondness for Doom 1 and 2. Everything about them just look and sound so perfect.
