It would help if Dan would describe how the 3-day thing is a cool feature that expands gameplay options, or how densely populated the world is with tons of unique sidequests, instead of just saying "But it's so weird and dark!" over and over.

Strike quick and hurry at him,
not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



Dan goes on an awful lot of first dates and I think the reason is because he keeps taking them to wrestling events and video game theme bars.

I've never even heard of this Dan Ryckert guy, personally I don't trust anybody at Giant Bomb with Nintendo stuff except Patrick Kelpick.

And yea, after they moved into a proper place and Ryan passed away I haven't been much of a GB fan anymore.

Asking anyone at GiantBomb to get into any sort of analysis on a game deeper than "oh yeah it's neat" or the "this looks pretty good" or the best "the grind in this game is pretty good" is asking a lot apparently.

For people that play games for a job they sure don't know much about what makes a good one.

They're smart enough to know that nobody wants to listen to that crap, and wants to hear Jeff just raise his voice and get angry about 30 year old video games and stuff.

For all of the bar-lowering these chuckle-fucks have done to the words "Premium" and "Podcast" lately, I would legit re-up for an all retro game podcast with Jeff and person other than Brad or Dan.

I like their retro game quick looks for this reason. Jeff sure can go on about those old games/systems. Dunno if a podcast would work with the staff they have.

I think if Ryan was alive he could do it. They always seemed to go off about older games together.

Yeah Jeff + Ryan was always a winning combination if you just wanted dudes shooting the poo poo about retro games, I don't really know what the closest comparison is now though

I love Brad because he's like the wildcard of the bunch, even if you know everyone on the Giant Bomb team and the games they like/are good at, Brad will always surprise you with what he's good and bad at

I, for one, am never surprised to see that Brad is bad at a video game. In fact I'm not sure what he's actually good at.
