Can someone make a gif of Dan assassinating the pepsi can?

Don't listen to @DanRyckert, @Drewbert; I liked Boondock Saints, too.

My wife makes me figure out how to make After Dark games work on every new computer I buy. Somehow, it always works.

Magic 3 cd and magic 3 dvd discs are used to play other region games on your american ps2.

I have the Snoopy version of the Game & Watch arcade cabinet unit. I think it still works, but the battery terminals have got quite a bit of rust on them, as well as the battery cover has gone missing (which was missing when I got it second hand).

I don't mind people not liking things, but the reasoning he gives for not even giving it a shot is mind boggling.

He "doesn't care about Batman at all" therefore he didn't watch Batman Begins.

So does he only watch movies about characters he already cares about beforehand? How does he watch any movie for the first time? Isn't it generally understood that you let a movie at least try to win you over as you watch it? He really liked Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, right? So a good game with Batman in it is fine (great even, 5/5), but an arguably good movie with Batman isn't worth even one viewing?

Jeff has a bizarre adversarial attitude toward movies and television entertainment, almost as though he doesn't want to enjoy vast swathes of them, and actively avoids giving them a chance. I don't care what he likes or doesn't like, but I do care that he doesn't seem to enjoy much of anything, arguably because he's stubbornly avoided so many things that have entertained millions of others. While popularity is no guarantee of quality, it's usually a sign that there's something there worth looking into.

When was the last time he seemed genuinely, whole-heartedly enthused about anything? Not ironically, not with a "I know this is bad and that's why I like it" (Tokyo Drift, Cobra etc.), but just straight up liked something for being great, for being something of value. Seriously, I'm stumped.

I have to know more about Hellgate London fiction.

@ebinbraveheart: actually Dan did get a degree in film. The fact he has a degree at all 8s proof our educational system sucks. He is a fun guy but he's dumb as a rock.

@docwattson said:

I was busy when I wrote my earlier message, so I missed a few words. I'm aware he has a degree and I meant that the remark he made was an obvious joke.

I don't know if you have ever checked his more serious stuff (propably not), like his anxiety book, but Dan is far from dumb.

Man that went dark

@hashbrowns: you're really overanalyzing this.

@danryckert: As a lifelong Louisiana resident, Dan is completely right. As much as it pains me to say that...

American PS1 game cases look weird.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT, @unastrike I AM LITERALLY READING THE HELLGATE: LONDON NOVELS RIGHT NOW

wait, wait there's an oral mouth thing too

Jason smokes! I like him more and more.

I don't like The Dark Knight, but I love The Spirit. That's the kind of life I live.

Maybe I do like Dan.
