Attention seeking post attracts attention
This is far too sanitised to possess the TrackMania name.
Dude, it's fine. Drake's having fun with it and isn't actually mad, you shouldn't be either.
Of course there wasn't. But...gaf.

GB fans taking things too seriously?! Looking forward to the comments.

I want to buy a 21:9 monitor.
I'm not mad. I'm just saying Dan was being a real jerk and he got real lucky and avoided the consequences. I'm just responding to people who think people who don't find it funny are taking things too seriously.

Drake even said the same thing.

If the chat serves as a preview then it's safe to say that people weren't amused by Dan's story.

I agree that Kotaku and even Deadspin will be alright. Patrick/Kotaku just had a giant scoop today and almost every day they have articles with 100k+ hits.
These are definitely the GG people that have hated Patrick since Giant Bomb and the Nintendo localization column reignited their hate.

Didn't Patrick leave GB so he could focus more on written content and less on solo video content? Him having to circle back around to doing solo video content on YouTube due to Gawker's collapse would be unfortunate.
Yes, people are often offended on other people's behalf even when those people laugh about it 8 years later. 300+ comments on this one.

Now this is something to get mad at.

This UPF has been downhill since the mobile game.

The Dan/Drake stuff was gold, anyone getting pissy is fucking crazy.
This is Giant fucking Bomb.
This is Giant fucking Bomb.
GG people and people with a general grudge against Kotaku in general. Lots of celebrating a potential Kotaku closure in those other threads. It's kinda weird.

Gawker is a terrible company, all in.
The internet will be a better place without it.
I can live with the loss of news about Destiny and Assassin's Creed.
Gawker are shitheels, but Kotaku has some great people that do amazing work aside from leaking the occasional AC story. It's fine if you don't read them, but celebrating talented writers potentially losing their jobs is kinda fucked up.
Celebrating the fuckheads at Gawker getting what's probably coming to them? That's fine. Celebrating a potential Kotaku closure, a site completely unrelated to this case? That's kinda weird.

He killed three people.
I'm talking about the people that are specifically pointing out the closure of Kotaku as a positive, and there's a lot of those. If you just are talking the shiftiness that is Gawker as a whole, that's a different thing.

Not GDC level greatness but damn, great upf.
somehow wrestling destroyed gaming.

It could be if the great journalists there find better jobs with less shitty companies. People losing jobs is never fun though. The game industry is volatile and harsh enough as is.
Dan Ryckert: Trying to get people fired since 2008.
I love you Dan. Before people come in with the 'too serious comments' this is obviously a joke
Somehow it all went down hill once games started being played.

That is almost ever UPF.
Dan was a troll in a message board obsessed with some rock band's new album.
Dan gets E3 credentials.
Rockband 2 is going to have songs from the new album.
Dan gets his friend to pretend to be Harmonix PR outside their actual booth and talks to him "off the record" secretly recording him, and he says they learned that the new album is going to be four albums.
Dan posts video.
Video blows up, music news sites grab the story, Harmonix is made to look like idiots.
Harmonix loses some face with the band they were still negotiating with, potentially losing future content from them.
You're right...usually the first 10 minutes is always the best part.
the first half was def better but seeing Trackmania Turbo was kinda cool as someone not really following it

It made for a very good audio podcast as I was looking up vaping tools in another tab (or actually doing work). But the only memorable visual thing that occurred was Brad buying something in his Clash game, and that was only for the live reaction.
