If you ever get the opportunity to jump in a black hole, be reasonable and avoid doing it no matter how cool it seemed in Ren and Stimpy

Dan Ryckert should have gotten himself accidentally killed several times over by now and is somehow still alive. His continued survival is a mystery and incredibly entertaining. The man is a modern Mr.Magoo.

I'm not sure, though the first quicklook was Sniper Elite 3 for ps4 -- http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-sniper-elite-iii/2300-9180/

edit: Here's some Dan in his natural element, enjoying a shameless advert Kinect game http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-tmnt-training-lair/2300-9264/

Dan Ryckert and Jeff compete on who can get the furthest in Mario3 while riding a rollercoaster.

They managed to get it done because Dan called Six Flags and asked if they could do it.

Dan does not know what a hatchback is. Three and a half minutes into the Driveclub quicklook, Jeff must explain and describe to Dan what hatchbacks are.

I remember way back when, during one of their E3 afterhours show where they have industry guests, Alex was kind of a dick. They had a bigwig there talking some real rotten poo poo -- I think it might have been Cliffy B -- saying how games that don't sell over 10 million copies are complete trash and whoever likes them are a waste of air, and that most gamers are retarded babies or something. Either that or it was a completely transparent and poor shilling attempt. All I remember is it being really rough, and the chat was going berzerk. Alex just killed the chat and wrote "The adults are trying to talk here, kids". Yeah, the chat was intolerable and useless (as always), but they actually had legit reason to be pissed for once. That's never stopped him from being weirdly condescending, though.

If Brad wasn't forced to be the host this is like 300% more time than he would spend researching anything for the podcast.

Or researching anything for a game that he's hosting a quicklook for, for that matter

I didn't realize that expecting a quicklook to know what the release platforms of the game are might be caring too much.

It also causes a couple weeks of lackluster content beforehand because of all that production. If it wasn't for Metal Gear Scanlon, the majority of december would have been nothing.

Your first post was about getting some perspective; "You cares about wanting Giant Bomb content when you could be doing something worthwhile, like gaming". The thing is that you can go in any thread and say exactly that, no matter what the thread is about. "May as well stop posting and go save the whales" was the logical conclusion to your post and was meant to you. With that in mind, your reply sounded like "No u". I don't know why I figured people would pick that up so quickly, it was a bad post. Sry dude.

His DOTAIDS has permanently transformed him from a smooth operator into a lumpy whiny Girthmann Jr.

90% of that community are people trying to get a job into games, or trying to get the giant bomb crew's job. They have a job because of this crowd of people. It's a games PC job ouroboros.
