I don't take a lot of what Dan says seriously at all. I think there are things he will say sincerely and there are things he will say just to troll people. The way he uses the word 'dork' to describe people who likes things he doesn't rubs me the wrong way but I don't necessarily dislike the dude. Also he is a huge fan of MGS, so that is a major plus for me.

There is a money printing pitch out there somewhere, involving Dan teaming up with Karl Pilkington.

So here's another.

this is pretty much what I think.

for the haters

you're a garbage person dan ryckert

Out of all the things hes said, thats by far the most accurate. That and the Anime thing

I still don't think I can forgive Dan for saying that Taco Bell is the best mexican food in San Francisco.

He said Taco Bell is the best food in the world.

@rongalaxy: I am utterly kurfuffled by your image. Could you please explain how it has something to do with anything

listen to the last 10 minutes of the bombcast.

Dan introduced me to the concept of a "KenTacoHut."

@rongalaxy: I did... Maybe my podcast comprehension isn't great when multitasking and drinking. I'll listen to the last 10 a 2nd time tomorrow, it's 2am here. I was searching so very hard for a photoshopped dan ryckert face in the image

@big_jon: I really can't stand Dan at this point. I know a person can't be completely blamed for not experiencing basic foods or common practices while they're a child, but come on - he's 30. I'm tired of hearing about wrestling, shitty fast food, and general ignorance about the world.

We should all take a minute and just imagine what Ryan's reaction to some of the amazing things that come out of Dan's mouth. Considering how minor the executable thing was I don't think Ryan would have a voice left from all the yelling...

This is great. His ignorance makes for some of the best bits. My favourite quote about this is from Danny and Jeff:

58:48

Danny: It's like Dan Ryckert Discovery Hour.

Jeff: You know what? Every hour is the Dan Ryckert Discovery Hour.

@yesiamaduck: agreed, pink floyd is terrible

@deckard: chill out a bit. It's okay to dislike him but damn.

"fiddle fart" -Dan, MGS part 4

@finstern: Funny you say that, I've thought/laughed about this so many times.

You are doing God's work.

@finstern: That's a thought that warms my cold Nordic heart. He would be exasperated in the best way.

Hey everyone, so I've taken the Punch In The Face Challenge to raise money for victims of domestic abuse..!

@fuzz: NO DONT ITS A TRAP!

John Drake is right. We're fucked.

MAN.

Like, I know not everyone loves Dota or LoL, and that's cool, nobody's saying you do. But this is so crazy that I don't even.

A comment like that is pretty much placing your ignorant neck on the guillotine.

@Nephrahim: Dan is just a big fat troll. I don't play DOTA that much, but I know that those statements are false.

Yea its either the most brilliant troll or the most blatantly ignorant statement someone connected to the game industry can make.

Also, watch his league of legends attempt on YouTube. He is completely lost, and its great. Jason and some other dudes just sit in another room making fun of his fumbling attempts to play the game and his inability to understand even the basic concepts of what is happening. Its great. I would embed but i cant on tablet!

Edit - i think he realised he was insulting half the planet and deleted the one calling people dumb, but he seems to be sticking to his guns on the strategy end.

From anyone else I'd say they were trolling but with Dan...I just don't know.

Looks like he deleted all of them.

... Now I feel a little weird having posted them here. I mean, I did so because it was the most mind-boggling thing I'd ever heard him say, but I didn't think he'd delete em...

@nephrahim I imagine he is somewhat inebriated at this stage and thought better of it. The man is flabbergasted by MOBA games. Watching him try play one, you get a real sense of how little sense they make to him. It would be a momentous task to get him to the point where he understands where strategies come into play and all the ins and outs.

I assume he's just trying to be a jerk, but... why be a jerk? I love ya, Dan. Don't be a jerk.

Dan is one of the best things to happen to this website in awhile, the amount of butt hurt from some people prove it. Continue on Dan you glorious bastard I look forward to the coming chaos.

a few things to bear in mind before we all take this too seriously:

1) pog tournaments

2) he's constantly making ridiculous statements to get a rise out of people (see: every bombcast he's sat in on)

3) he's making fun of what are arguably the most popular games on the planet- clearly he's poking at the bees' nest intentionally

4) pog tournaments

Making it very tough to like you Dan, but I appreciate your antics more-so then other people's shit.

Dont stop being Danny dude.

Well he's right, right?

@eternalhav0c said:

I'm going with, "A little of column A, a little of column B."

Well the funny part is that given Dan's self confessed lack of PC access through childhood and what i've witnessed so far in quick looks, I can't imagine him doing anything but struggle to play Command and Conquer.

@rowr seriously, check out the video of him playing league in youtube. It explains everything. Its like watching a cat operate a typewriter.

Yes, I would love to see a UPF where Brad attempts to play dota with Dan.

Wow.

I just got to the 13 min mark and... whew. That is something.

Jeff shits all over MOBAs and e-sports all the time, nobody cares

Ryckert posts 2 tweets and the goddamn Internet explodes. Logic.

When Jeff shits on MOBAs it's because he doesn't like them, and that's fine. I don't like most of them either.

He doesn't try to say there's no strategy involved and they're just RTSes for people who can't handle real RTSes.

This is a doozy from the latest Bombcast.

2:03:41

Brad: You're saying ignorance is bliss?

Dan Ryckert: Yes! That's the whole point of life! The less shit you know, the happier you are. I'm smart enough to know how stupid I am. And I know I love it this way.
