This was my exact reaction to all of these pictures.
I keep expecting Dan to make off hand mentions about the time he went into space or how he became best friends with Gerald Ford.
The best part is that he tweeted that picture with no description whatsoever.
Dan really IS like a reverse Drew. Drew does awesome things, but awesome things happen to Dan.
I'm not convinced he isn't a legit cartoon character.

It really is crazy. Ever since he's been on the bombcast, he has told story after story after story that just made me go "who the hell is this guy ?!" because that side of him kept contradicting the super-average almost-dumb guy persona of his that he has forged and shared with the world for years through Replay videos at GameInformer.
Dan Ryckert is literally awe-some.
Dan is the Homer Simpson to Drew's Frank Grimes.
Everything makes sense now.
Because none of us shall ever know the omnipresent jubilation that constantly envelops him through every day.

Sucks Chris and Kevin aren't on that doing some low-key stuff (which suits them) rather than Biblethump there.
Pretty much. Alpha to the universe, and the universe knows it.

I wish we had more Alex and Dan content. Alex is the perfect straight man to Dan. Maybe Dan could teach Alex how to feel joy again.

Love Patricks article about The Evil Within's aspect ratio and artistic intent!
If I didn't know Dan posted here under his real name I'd have sworn this was him.

I don't know, it's not really interesting from an editorial standpoint. Patrick doesn't express any particular stance on the matter, and doesn't delve into any facet other than the aspect ratio. I'm not saying he has to be militantly for or against framerate/aspect ratio limiting, but what was the point of the article other than to (literally) say "We'll never know" regarding the very question he proposes?
Not a big deal regardless, though.

IDK, its just interesting. Its obviously a technical limitation. But it does define the experience. For better or worse it is a part of the game's shape.
I mean, to make the most obvious comparison.. Jaws not really having screentime was a technical limitation. Not that they're really comparably its just food for thought.

No seriously, who's the chimpanzee?

I totally agree, it's an interesting topic. I just don't think Patrick had anything worthwhile to add to that discussion other than to just bring it up.
Patrick has literally nothing to say about it. As it stands, it's basically an article reporting that TEW has black bars and the obvious effects it has in-game. He probably should have waited for The Order for more material. (Also, he needs to drop "artist's intent" like a bad habit. Think for yourself, Scoops!)

Well, the title of the article is a question. I dunno. You're right, theres not much substance to the piece other than just kinda bringing it up. He mentions he's less than half way through the game which I thought was an obvious hint that he'd have more to say about it.. and that this was kinda just a quick update since theres no coverage of the game from them. IDK, my original post was a bit overly positive, but I didn't want to just post "I read that article."

Fake Drew rapidly alternates between sorta funny and genuinely, deeply annoying.

I think I made the right decision to not watch this stream. It sounds like I am not missing out.

GameSpot sure does a terrible job promoting their live shows on the site. Looking at it you'd think there was nothing on currently. Bare minimum there should be an embed on the home page.
Demo Derby is up!
I tuned in to a Danny & Mary Nidhogg match. They were the only ones talking.
Best 15 minutes of the stream

Oh wow, had no idea this was on.
This is the best picture I've seen all year.
Also, has the Chicago stream been pushed forward half an hour? I see "Extra Life: The Giant Bomb Experience" at 6.30am Pacific in the schedule. If so I need to correct the Extra Life OT before it goes up.

The countdown still counts to 7am. Maybe it'll be filler until then? Or them playing with streaming settings for half an hour
Sounds like a good way to ruin gang beasts.
I know this is unrelated to everything that's going on in here at the moment, but thanks to the video game, I was inspired to catch up on Legend of Korra. Just binge watched through all of season 3 and HOLY SHIT IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME THAT THIS SHOW GOT AS AWESOME AS THE FIRST SHOW!
Carry on...
