The wildest part of the supposed conservative warmongering propaganda that is 24 is that the major plot of season 2 is Jack/Palmer trying to stop the invasion of Iraq (a terrorist plot happens and is erroneously attributed to a country). The episode aired a few months before the real invasion of Iraq

@shiyamiro: It ain't paranoia if they are actually out to get you.

The Simpsons Wrestling for the PS1 ticks all of Dan's main interests. I remember enjoying it when I was a kid but who knows now.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

A game that is far better than the movies it is based on.

"Everything got standardized in the 360 era" you were still shooting with R1 in a lot of PS3 games if I remember right.

Never forget while attending a legal conference in Ottawa in 2007, Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia remarked upon the jurisprudence and strategic effectiveness of torture as a means for American law enforcement to obtain timely and useful information from people who are suspected of terrorism. Other legal experts weighed in on the discussion, arguing that torture can lead to coerced confessions from innocent people, and legal systems in democratic nations would prevent such confessions from being used as evidence. Scalia responded that he was unconcerned with prosecutions in such cases, saying that as long as a terrorist plot was thwarted or delayed, the Jack Bauer-like federal agent in question would have done a good thing.

Absolutely fucking insane that a sitting SCOTUS judge openly cited a TV character as someone to look up to.

A PS2 era licensed classic is the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King game. It kicks ass! And has co-op!

Oh man, I would love for this series to eventually get Austin Walker as a guest and the team explores a private server of The Matrix Online for an episode.

I'm enjoying this. Looking forward to the possibilities.

24 was the ultimate post-9/11 show. I only watched the first three seasons.

One of the co-creators a "Daily Show for conservatives" that aired on FOX News and was canceled after seven episodes.

This might be my favorite GB series since Demo Derby and Game Tapes and is also a good spiritual successor of Bring Your B Game.

I also really like how they’re more focused on the game and on the licensed IP and don’t have a bunch of people in the show talking at the same time about random stuff unrelated to the game, I hope the show keeps going with just Dan and Grubb doing it like in this episode, without derailing it.

Just a quick note: please raise the game volume a little bit for the next videos, it was a little low on this one.

With the PS3 controller and its triggers, that's how it should be.
