The reason Microsoft can make all their first party games free w/GamePass is twofold.

1. At 2.3 Trillion, Microsoft has more capital than 14 Sonys and the games business is a very small part of that 2 Trillion. The games business is the largest slice of Sony’s 150 Billion.

2. Microsoft doesn’t really care about making a profit on GamePass. GamePass a way to acquire users and user data, which will feed into their other businesses. Games are the thing that makes Sony money. They can’t use them as a loss leader.

This is not actually a show about the things Dan doesn’t know. It is a show about the things Jeff Bakalar doesn’t know and how far he will go to pretend that he does.

The only thing different between Dan and most of the people here calling him stupid/ignorant is that Dan is 100% willing to ask about the things he doesn’t understand, whereas most people will just make stay quiet and hope no one calls on them.

Yeah, it seems crazy that he didn’t put two and two together about electricity and puddles in video games but how many “I was today years old when I learned…” memes have you read and gone “holy shit I can’t believe I’m a grown ass adult and I never put that together”? It happens to me every day.

Bakalar is completely unable to answer 90% of Dan’s questions, mostly supplying him with a series of guesses, wrong answers or vague non-answers like “They do experiments. That’s how science works Dan.” And the answers he does have it’s clear he only knows because he watched these videos before hand. Do people not see this?

EDIT: It’s clear people do see this. I had only read about 1/3 of the comments before commenting. Or maybe that’s all the comments there were when I started writing but then I wrote a novel and more people commented. Either way, I’m glad someone else noticed.

This UPF won’t play on any of my iOS devices without freezing up after a minute or two.

It may not have been as revolutionary at the time but the original Crash Bandicoot holds up far better than Mario 64 these days. Fight me.

Whether they live up to the early albums or not Death Magnetic and Hardwired to Self Destruct should 100% be their own era and not lumped in with the Bob Rock era. They - especially Hardwired - mark a return to actual metal from the realm of shitty groove rock and pop-radio production. Hell, if Hardwired had been pared down to one album instead of two, I think it would stand shoulder to shoulder with the first four. Alas, it was a double album bloated - as double albums always are - with a full album’s worth of mediocre crud. Still despite their flaws these two albums are a return to form in many ways and hardly deserve to be loaded in with Load, et all.

This looks like a 360 era game that looked and felt like a PS2 era game.

Shenmue is awesome. Still.

Cherry Pie is so much worse than it’s position on the list and seriously needs to be reconsidered.

I know this is all subjective list but Cherry Pie not even being in the top five just fucking breaks it.

I do not get Spelunky.
