I love the Beastcast and Dan but that Walmart bit legitimately bummed me out. I don't know if it was just Dan doing a schtick or not, but when the crew told him that Walmart treats their employees like garbage and has horrible business practices...to have Dan just dismiss it and say he'll happily spend his money there is a bad look. It feels like it's ignoring/making light of people he was literally just told are exploited. The whole ignorant schtick is funny until it brushes up against people's actual lives IMO. Still think Dan's heart is in the right place but this went too far for me to feel comfortable.
Austin, you have brought so much to Giant Bomb. I love the silliness of the other duders as much as the next guy, but being able to come here and read a poignant personal essay that still touches on some awesome games is just the best. Endless thanks to you and the other GB dudes for keeping me sane in what has been a very, very difficult year!
