The whole persona of Dave Lang as he appears on Giant Bomb seems like a myth or a meme more so than an actual person, does he actually exist? What is Bat-tech? What is Divekick?

Wowowowowowow.

Dave Lang was coded by John Carmack in a lab deep beneath Zenimax. He escaped one day. That's all we know.

He's a meme. Patrick hired an actor and pays guys like Ed Boon and Johnny V to pretend they know and have a history with Dave Lang. Alex runs a fake twitter account for Dave Lang.

"Dave Lang" is actually a Chicago cabbie named Ronald.

You figured it out. Dave Lang doesn't exist. Joke's over, duders. We got busted.

At least it was fun while it lasted.

Dave Lang is Frog Fractions 2.

I heard that if you say Dave Lang thirteen times in front of a mirror you become a flash game.

They just hire an actor to play the role every time a convention happens.

Even the people who have met Dave Lang aren't entirely sure.

We've all heard about Dave Lang.

But who is this man? A legend? Myth? Man or monster?!

Some claim they have seen this legendary figure, but no decisive evidence exists and many images and videos have been proven fake.

If Dave Lang really exists, can we trust him?

Can we trust him with our future?

Ourselves?

Our video games?!

Can we? CAN WE?!

This is a way better question than I realized at first

There's a Dave Lang... in ALL of us.

A Chicago jerk, lurking in the deepest, darkest recesses of your soul.

An irrefutable urge to cuss, yell, and make flash games.

I love this question so much.

I, for one, welcome our Dave Lang clone overlords.

Chicago uber alles.

Dave lang is the embodiment of hate witch manifests around video game expos.

Regardless of being a meme or a person, Dave Lang is certainly a joke.

Dave Lang is the bassist for black metal band Hate Witch.

Dave Lang is the spirit of video games development. As you can tell, video game development is messed up.

Dave Lang is a metaphor and simile for Dave Lang.

Dave Lang is a life-size model of what a real Dave Lang might look like

Dave Lang IS Dave Lang IN...Dave Lang.

He is everything. Or nothing.

He tries too hard to be this persona that I find incredibly unfunny. I imagine he's a cool guy when he doesn't perceive an audience watching him.

This is such a stupid question. Everyone knows there's no such thing as Dave Lang. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have a serious conversation with their parents.

Dave Lang is the scourge of Handlers and PR Representatives everywhere. Every "Get Bopped!" that echoes through the hillside sends chills down their spines.

He was once a boy, but later evolved into a golden turd which exists in another dimension beyond our own.

Request to move the Dave Lang page from person to concept

I don't know anymore. I just don't know.

this is probably the greatest thread in the history of the internet

The existence of Dave Lang is a rational paradox that can be neither proven nor disproven. Like the Invisible Pink Unicorn, Dave Lang was most likely invented by Atheist Liberals in an attempt to undermine religion.

Dave Lang is definitely not a person.

The Langzone is real. Fear it.

Well this thread produced even more hilarious Dave Lang jokes than I'd anticipated. I think the verdict is that he exists but only in the Lang Zone, which doesn't exist outside of Dave Lang's mind so..... he doesn't exist...

The real question: Does Dave Lang need a meme to explain to others about Dave Lang?

ps. That picture reminds me I need to destroy all photographic evidence of my childhood to avoid "evidence" like that from surfacing.

YOU FOOL! DAVE LANG HAS DESTROYED SMALL COUNTRIES FOR QUESTIONS WEAKER THAN YOURS! WHY MUST YOU TEMPT FATE?

Is Dave Lang invented or discovered?

Dave Lang.

Yes

Dave Lang isn't a person, it's the fifth state of matter.

I went to an Iron Galaxy booth at a convention. No Dave Lang there.

How convenient!

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER DAVE LANG *image flip transition*

Whatever he is... I love him.

He's a way of life.

A more prevelant question may be: "What isn't Dave Lang?"

DAVE LANG

EA VG LAND

:O He's been a shill construct all along.

(Also this was unexpected. He's cold, son.)

I think the least "meme-y" Dave Lang we've ever gotten on GB content was that recent Bombcast where he was Businessman Dave Lang, real talking about games business and how shit gets done.

Every single other time he has appeared on camera, he is pure meme. He talks only in memes and pull quotes, saying everything is "hype" and "godlike", he even has a few costumes we can expect to see him in (hoodie and baseball cap, or no hat and suit jacket. Several drinks may not be included.)

He works on two levels. Dive, and Kick.

Dave Lang only appears as a man for mere mortals, glimpsing his true form would make men go insane.
