@blupotato: Except that life is overflowing with interesting things wherever you look, if you look deep enough. So much so that I wish I could have time to go down every infinitely deep corridor there is. But time is limited so we have to choose carefully.

Dan and Drew playing random terrible steam games is quickly becoming one of my favorite things.

I'm not frustrated by the fact that Dan hasn't really seen Blade Runner or that he may not even like the movie, it's that he doesn't recognize the significance of the film in American pop culture and its influence on an entire genre. He acts like he has no reason to know what Blade Runner is. That's like not knowing what Star Wars is. It's baffling!

I want to like Dan, as the majority of others here already do. He seems like a nice guy and is a good fit for the site on paper, but he keeps revealing these little things about himself that make me think he doesn't fit in at all. There are times where he really makes me laugh and can coax some more comedy out of the others. Then there are times where he ruins a joke by asking for an explanation. I've also lost patience for the way he associates everything with another video game. Once and a while is fine, we all do it, but sometimes a game mechanic is just a mechanic, not an excuse to list every single individual video game that has that mechanic.

I'm sorry to sound like an asshole. When someone's work is essentially to be a personality, it's hard to judge their work without judging the person. I just feel like I'm the only one who hasn't been sold on the new dynamics of the site. And I don't want to just walk away; I love Giant Bomb.

.... who cares?

@shaanyboi: I care. Or did at that moment, anyway. I'm used to shouting into the wind, but I guess there wasn't much wind that day.

I apologize to everyone for sharing my thoughts and for all the huge block quotes of my thoughts shitting up this comment thread. I won't do it again.

They made a even less interesting game than Gone Home the horror!

To be fair, that's pretty easy to do. Gone Home was amazing.

Also not a horror game in any way but that's neither here nor there.

Aha! Dan is a replicant and his trying to downplay the issue of whether he's seen Blade Runner is an obvious ploy to hide his true identity.

I think we can all agree that Blade Runner is at least marginally better than this game.

I'm surprised how many people in these comments seem to be completely unaware of the era of pre-rendered CG adventure/horror games.

I mean come on, people. The Thirteenth Hour? D? No one?

Also, now that I've read the comments, I have to jump in here and say that Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a way better book than Blade Runner is a movie, director's cut or no.

Dan and Drew quicklooks have become the main reason I visit Giantbomb

I have ti admit that the moment at 35:00 is pretty scary. Spend lots of time opening doors and looking for keys until finally something surprising happens. And then when you think the game will be something greater...MORE KEYS!

Camping in the city is called being homeless, Dan.

This game looks like hot garbage. How does this even get released? What were they thinking?

I gave Drew crap for not finding the station gate in Elite: Dangerous, but I can't blame him for this. This game is hot garbage.

I can understand not liking Blade Runner or not really paying attention to it. That's reasonable.

Unlike saying Terminator 3 is the best one. Which is complete nonsense.

Luckily he never said Terminator 3 is the best.

Unluckily, while it's true he didn't say that in this Quick Look, "never" is a strong word, and Dan Rykert did indeed say that Terminator 3 was the best one when he appeared on the Bombcast.

Loading Video...

You know, I'm with him to a certain point, I too think Terminator 2 is a better movie than The Terminator, but then he has to go and ruin everything by making crazy talk about Terminator 3. :P

Keys are such a useful thing to have around a house. Watched purely for the interesting Last Crusade fact Drew had.

I wonder what a mulholland drive game would be. Probably a bad game.

also Dan, Gesture? really? I can understand the foliage thing. But I don't think i've heard anyone mispronounce gesture. You never disappoint. Thanks, Dan.

This popped up today on "this year in Giant Bomb" and I'd forgotten what a brief, fleeting treasure it was when Dan & Drew explored bad horror games. 5 years ago, wowsers.
