He really is a comedic genius. He's also 100% self aware of how silly his eggs and digging in garbage stories sounds.
Jeremiah saying "I think he does it for show" cements it.

Eh, Jeremiah doesn't even know Dan personally, can't take his opinion for fact.
That is true.
Its really impressive how committed Dan is to the audience - its like he goes though life asking himself what would make this more entertaining or be a good story?
His entire life is a work or a shoot or a shootwork. I don't know my behind the scenes wrestling terminology.

Honestly, the weirder stuff and the creative stuff is where it shines for me.
Soundboxing, that weird fan Ghibli made thing (when I busted my lip in VR by jumping down to look at a frog from Totoro without clearing my playspace properly), Google Earth, Medium, Quill, Blocks etc.
I keep wishing for Rez Infinite on PC.

SuperHyperCube was supposed to come to Steam at some point too.

A worked shoot. You're right, it sums up Dan's persona pretty well.
There was no confirmation on upf. Alex is back this week and must have the murder hunger, so there's a chance it might show up on the schedule.
And we are the marks yes?

We are all marks, brother.

Yeah same for me with the Vive. I like the occasional shooting gallery like Serious Sam, but I can't play long playsessions at all, at least no game has "sealed me in" for more than over an hour.

I think people have a natural discomfort to such confinement anyway.

I wonder if you'd get slugged if you ask Ben "How's the weather up there?".

Vinny's "Ghosts are Aliens" theory is the most insane believe anybody at GB has ever held, including Dan.
I bet nobody has ever asked him that.
You should do that on Twitter, it'll be hilarious

Maybe his shouting is because he's so tall you can't hear him properly.

I like Ben, he's fun. I also liked the BALLERS bit. Sorry haters.

Just like how we had the Jeremiah payoff, we also got the silent hill cribz payoff.

I enjoyed that bit. Not really as funny as Jeremiah though,

I just spent the last 30 minutes save scumming to get the platinum trophy in original Pac-Man. I don't feel good about it.

I did that too, with only minor regrets. First off that trophy list was ridiculous, this along with Dig Dug and Galaga go from pushover easy to impossibly difficult; and if it didn't control so poorly I would probably be able to pull those off without scumming.

Dan fucking loves Splatoon, they did a testfire for Splatoon 2 and he was as into it as Alex.

God, this playdate is booooooring.

Yeah, did that too along with the two others that came in a bundle (dig dug and Galaga). Felt dirty about it.

I feel like Vinny would like Final Fantasy XII. I hope he does the quick look.
Of course they do. There's no business there to support great games
yet?

The only VR game I want to play is Resident Evil VII, and that's because it's a real video game.

It's amazing in VR! There are games like Dirt Rally, another full game, that are as great. There are also VR only games like Until Dawn: Rush of Blood that make VR worth it (to me) as a way to play games.
Upcoming games (for PSVR) like SuperHot VR and Fantastic Contraption are notable as well
I should find those "it's the same transition as 2d to 3d was" posts

I mean, yes? VR could literally not sell a single new unit of consumer hardware or software, and still be fine. It still is and will be massively transformative in the enterprise and corporate space

Do you know what UPF that is?
