Dan Ryckert unironically thinks that cooking is a waste of time when you have things like drive thrus. Also he thinks Taco Bell is literally the best food ever. He is the biggest autist on Giant Bomb and it's pretty great.

Dan seems like the kind of guy who doesn't eat fruit and if he goes to a restaurant has to order from the kids menu/appetizer list to be satisfied.

Brad is annoying during these talks because it seems like he's willing to put a game on a list simply because he likes it and his fight for said game gets tiring quickly. Like Brad's list would consist of nothing but DOTA2 and Destiny if he could get away with it.

I've just realized how terrible the giant bomb site layout is. The articles seem to be sorted by random and to read the goty lists you have to scroll way down. happy new year everyone

It makes no sense and also the search function is awful. I can't just search for something I gotta make sure I'm not accidentally using their really bad wiki engine which is the default setting.

Also lol at "fun". It's why I don't play horror games.

"you don't get it, Destiny is like Diablo" never gets met with "it's a bad version of Diablo"

Destiny is like vanilla Diablo 3. That is it sucks.

Now if they updated it to be as lively (albeit just as shallow) as current Diablo 3 then it could be a decent game.

Actually giant bomb still rules and is the best video game website out there

I tried that blistered thumbs or whatever and it was boring as gently caress. I also tried the Super Best Friends podcast but their lead has an incredibly obnoxious personality that I just don't get at all. It feels more like a bunch of friends dicking around which is fine if you manage to reel it in and be coherent once in a while.

on the topic about dudes who are into fighting games and not jaded as poo poo about video games, the super best friends have a pretty good podcast!


He's right, inventory juggling sucks. Limited inventory is good at forcing you to make choices about what to carry and adding tension, but if it literally just fuels the player to do tons of back tracking or swaping things in out of a stash, it's pretty dumb.

You can play the game from start to finish without ever backtracking? Also the knife is practically pointless (except the one time you need it) since you don't need to kill everything in your path, you rarely need more than one gun on you at a time, and lol at going out of your way to save.

Also Brad getting mad at video games reminds me of when I was a teenager playing fighting games and there was this one guy who would always bitch and complain about every little thing and generally be a sour puss.

Dan and Brad are stereotypes of lovely gamers no one wants in their D&D campaign. One smugly tries to pull stuff over another player while the other wants to smack and punch other players because "I'm playing a tough guy!"

I just don't get why they all thought Resi 5 was a great time and genuinely good but 6 shouldn't have been made or whatever. 5 felt horrendous to play and had lovely mercenaries and 6 let you backflip peoples heads off and poo poo

RE5 is just good old fashioned co-op fun while RE6 is a loving disaster with segments that give zero direction in really obnoxious ways. I remember playing as Leon and having to fight a helicopter and it was just a tedious mess of a boss fight.

Brad's baby bitching about Mario is amazing. "I'm not ignoring the maker aspect of the game" *goes on to ignore and actively dismiss the maker aspect of the game to focus on how the friend's list isn't perfect."

A mode that spits out random user-generated levels sometimes has some stinkers?!? Heavens to Betsy!

And then Brad literally goes on to say MGS5 is a flawed masterpiece but I guess that's ok because he enjoyed his experience with it??

Not to mention literally everyone had issues with The Witcher's controls which didn't improve much after the patch. Plus with one or two exceptions people didn't seem to enjoy the combat in TW3. It just seemed like they felt it deserved something even though not a single one of them played through the whole thing.
