Dan is a good replacement but not the same.

Vinny wasn't afraid to call it like it was. His anger at the kinect was refreshing when everyone else was like "No no it's totally not the death of kinect."

>>259104359
I love Vinny but I'll be honest I haven't been missing him that much recently with Dan around. The bombcast has been really energetic with brad hosting and dan ryckert's insanity. Plus vinny still pumps out amazing video content, here's hoping we get a giant beastcast up and running too (without any sjws added to it).

>>259104359

>>259104946

Vinny is making Alex more tolerable as well, they got a good duo comedy act going on, and without the influence of Patrick he's not as terrible on his opinions anymore.

Well Dan just got called white trash on twitter by jose canseco. So there is that.

I remember both him and Jeff calling Rise and the devil nurse sluts or whores. I don't think they care that much, they just sort of do because they like Patrick and their fanbase.

No, its not so much that he curses, but that he is not a uptight fag like you.

This, this.

I remember when he became enraged at WB's backdoor deal with GameStop over GameStop giving out Catwoman codes for DLC with used copies, effectively cutting out all other retailers that dealt with used games.

It was so refreshing to see someone actually bothered by stuff like that and not the rest of the crew's

The Jeff & Vinny combo works really well. Jeff is the sad lump and Vinny is the happy go lucky guy. It's a classic archetype combo.

In some ways Dan has replaced Vinny's role in that combo, except he seems to have a bit less wit than Vinny. He makes up for that though in his wildly differing opinions than Jeff. And it's great that he isn't afraid to passionately defend them because that brings out the best in both of them. I love those arguments.

T2>T1 all the way Jeff doesn't know what he's talkin about in that one.

this faget always talks about how his wife doesn't care about any of his gaming interests or job in the industry. how he has to hide the games he plays because embarrassed to have his wife see it. shit even if his wife doesn't like vidya he never talks about her. he's constantly on some feminists cunt and has them come on his podcast so he can show everyone how "progressive" he is when deep down he probably hates his marriage.

i always suspected patrick of cheating on his wife with her even before all of this shit started. he's always been friendly with zoe more than any of the other feminists he bows down to and i always suspected there was something more there. zoe was probably the only one who'd give him a fuck.

>>259114894

Vinny+Jeff is the fucking greatest. Because this combo usually ends in them doing some anime game or sports game.

Also they did the best endurance run.

I agree with him. You guys are delusional if you think any of this is better than pre-2011 GB.

What we have now isn't bad. But it'll never be like it used to. But then again, this also applies to a lot of things.

Look for the one with Vinny hosting (I think). And then just skip to news until you hear Patrick telling some shitty story about ignoring water flooding his house or dressing up his dog or some shit.

I only wish Brad would keep a more professional level of hosting when it comes to topic transitions and starting/ending the podcast.

Ryan had it down pretty great with the intro. Perhaps Brad should contact Will since he's also got his podcast hosting down pat.

There was a glimmer of hope around the time he was playing Monster Hunter, but he's spiraled back down since then.

>>259118186

Holy shit this. It's weird. I love Jeff, he's my favorite guy on Giantbomb, because I imagine him being the most average person on /v/. But him hosting the podcast had been dragging it down. He's way better as "the color commentary coming from the boss" instead of just host. Also Dan has been fucking great for the show. Never did I think a new person would be so memorable so fast.

Alexis doesn't work for Giantbomb. He's designer or engineer or something for CBSi so i imagine he's a pretty busy dude and doesn't have time to be in videos too often.

Is Dan Ryckert a real human bean?

I think the best new feature on the site has been the UPFs where they go through Steam and take requests as what to play. They're like little mini-quick looks. And them having to play "games" like You Need A Budget are pretty funny.

>>259117905

Jeff was Ryans sidekick, now when he is alone it's just sad

>>259119361
No. After hearing how much he loves Terminator 3 and how unconvincingly "human" he acts (eating "egg whites", using a shoebox to microwave cheesedogs for years) I'm pretty sure he's a fucking robot sent from the future.

>>259119361
Dan is a savage actually from the past. He was frozen in ice 13k years ago and thawed out Encino Man style by Jeff.

>>259119361
Replace wrestling with sonic and you realize he is just autistic.

>>259120087
So were his books written pre or post freezing?

Wrestling sucks.

A lot of people liked the Velvet Sundown bit, but for comedy value, I don't think it's better than the first Bot Colony stream where it was just Vinny. The game made him ragequit and the last 5 minutes of the stream is just and empty chair as a result.

It was unauthorized and weakly veiled but we all know what Dan was doing here."
>"Air Force Gator II, or whatever the hell Dan is calling this sequel, continues the chronicling of my resurrection in society and the good that I am able to do for all. There are more assumptions made in this book as it is not as anthropomorphically historical as AFG I, but is a highly probable prediction of the things I will be able to accomplish. Kind of a tome of reptilian based Nostradamus Canseco prophecies."
>As a fitting thank-you, Ryckert posted an image of a shirtless Canseco holding a baseball bat on the back cover of "Gator 2" with the description, “Jose Canseco is an idiot that used to play baseball.” Ryckert then posted a picture of himself in an identical pose. If that doesn’t sum up this bizarre collaboration, then nothing will.

>>259127935
Patrick feels strongly about issues like sexism and privileged classes in video game culture. /v/ kneejerk reacts to it like everything else because people aren't allowed to have opinions that are "wrong" (or "something I disagree with").

I don't care about any of that shit, the reason I don't like his content is because he's somewhat of a narcissist and has a tendency to relate topics back towards himself.

>>259127753
He is saying business clashes with opinionated editorial work. He's trying to say that a balance needs to be found between the two or something. I'm having a hard time finding the words to explain.
