7 games? Fuck. You yanks really do like to milk it don't you.



It isn't like he would be able to get tickets to see it live anyway.

Apparently his uncle can sneak family in to see games in KC. Or at least he could until Dan told the internet and likely got him fired.

There are a lot of reasons for baseball's dying popularity in the states but I don't think this is one of them. 7 games actually makes sense for baseball.

 

[popo]

No really. It is genius. Is it a modern thing or has it always been best of 7?

I just imagine a league meeting and some little accountant guy standing up and giving a presentation to team owners.

"Gentlemen. You know how we can charge a fortune for TV rights and tickets to see the final? How they sell out in minutes no matter what silly price we charge?"

*pauses for dramatic effect*

"What if there were seven finals?"

*stunned silence*

*standing ovation*

 

[giant_frying_pan]

- his dad is not in San Francisco though

- can still be watched on a tv or in some bar where they can get drunk as fuck.

And also, if Kansas win, the party atmosphere there will be a lot better than in SF.

You don't want to be there when the riots start (whether the Giants win or lose, actually).

Hopefully nobody gives Blatter ideas.

 

[Fried Food]

Don't see what the big deal is with Dan not being there. If the head duder, Jeff, isn't going to be there, no reason anyone else HAS TO be there.

Extra Time Multi Ball.

There's no big deal about him not being there either!

Extra Time Multi Ball.

Now that's an idea I can get behind!

The world series was 7 games long before television was invented.

[Keyser Soze]

I am looking at the Rounders game because, Dan

 

[pushBAK]

Does anyone recall the bombcast ad for the domain name register, where you could register domains with .christmas ect? Which podcast was this on?

 

[Curufinwe]

Best of 7 series can be amazing. Like the 2004 ALCS.

 

[Balb]

I've never seen two happier people in a video than in this Bayonetta 2 Quick Look.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Probably last week's podcast.

Also the place where you go for domain name registers is hover.com

Looks like Jeff is in LA again. It must be getting expensive to go to LA almost every week-end.

 

[Kirlia]

I only just found the UPF featuring the Boohbah web site...and then I looked up the show on Youtube. I feel really, really fucked up in the head now.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Why does he go to LA every weekend?

 

[shwimpy]

Why does he go to LA every weekend?

Girlfriend lives in LA.

 

[Haunted]

Our best sport, also the world's best sport, features no such ridiculousness.

Yup, just one game to decide who wins the world cup, as it should be.

 

[SlowRevolution]

giant bomb 11 | see you on tumblr, motherfuckers!

 

[funkystudent]

I think Dan and Jeff bailing might have been a blessing in disguise.

This stream has been the thing Jason needed to really introduce himself to the GB community.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Girlfriend lives in LA.

Oh, I thought that was some classic GB thread rumor going around, didn't know it was for real, that's cool though.

for better or worse lol

also that

if they did win i would expect them to become WASTED

plus if Kanas loses he will be there to cheer up his dad (and maybe get wasted )

Isn't Jeff in California?

Does he need to fly to get to LA?

I have no idea about the geography of America.

California is a large state, driving from San Fran to LA takes around 8 hours.

 

[kai3345]

yung kalman gave the gaf squad a shoutout on the stream~

 

[Fotheringay]

So I tuned out for a while, did they ever actually get the pizza?

 

[Mully]

DanRyckert.eu is a thing.

Thanks GB chat.

 

[BigBoss]

Not yet, it should be arriving any minute now.

 

[hamchan]

Jason and wife knows the Ramna 1/2 opening theme. Makes him better than the other guys now.

 

[Iamwolfthing]

More like 5-6, but yeah it's a long drive.

 

[Infinite Justice]

so she didn't do it?

 

[The Dear Leader]

so she didn't do it?

If your talking about Sam getting the Evo Moment 37, technically no, but I'll be damned if me and just about everyone thought she did.

Also gamebutts.com, I've been submitting game butts all night, it's like the GB wiki of butts.

Advanced Warfare is coming out in less than two weeks.

Jason said Jeff is taking personal time.

Jason said Jeff is taking personal time.

Yep, same as Jeff said on his Tumblr. No need to speculate more than that imo.

lol, have you heard of the internet?

Good point.

 

[Scizzy]

I continue to believe that Jeff is lying about this being personal time and maintain that he is actually on safari hunting wild Yoshis to satiate his blood lust. In fact, I demand he prove he is not feasting on their tiny bones as we speak.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean, you could say that is personal time.

 

[Basileus777]

I mean, you could say that is personal time.

If it's not then I demand there be video coverage.
