Die Another Friday: Episode 015

It’s Friday ya’ll

BIG BOSS salute to Dan

Make sure to stay tune for UPF

WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY DAN

Oh Dan.

I think dying on some hypothetical future Friday is still technically "another Friday" if today isn't Friday. Possibly.

It's FRIIID

Nice jacket.

Props to Abby with the competent instructions while making the composite face.

NO COLLUSION

It's Wednesday My Dudes?

I like the new shot!

All I want in life is a compilation best-of all these intros.

Ah, the Alex/Vinny homunculus.

@jeedyjay: Thanks for the nightmares duder

Dan is gonna get beat up at Wrestlemania lmao

Audio goes out of sync at some point during the video..

Some beautiful frame composition work by Abby. Working with Vinny has been a very good influence.

doi another froiday

I had a Zune, Alex.

I think if we did some digging we could find some laws Dan has broken.

Launching Fireworks at cop cars and driving dangerously to harass other drivers are just two off the top of my head.

Judging by when Trevelyan delivers his lines (and my memory of the game), I'm pretty sure the game guides they use in this episode are slightly wrong about the boss damage. Here's how I think the cycle actually works:

• When Trevelyan takes any damage, he becomes invulnerable and starts running to his next waypoint.
• If you get too close to Trevelyan before doing him damage, he will start moving to the next waypoint anyway.
• When Trevelyan reaches a new waypoint, he becomes vulnerable to damage again.

Due to the second point, in the frenzy Dan would sometimes set Trevelyan going before he'd received any damage. In these instances, I believe he could still "catch up" damage-wise by shooting Trevelyan once before he reaches the next waypoint. This is what's happening when Alec occasionally delivers a line while running.

I believe the standard plan is to always shoot Trevelyan before he starts running, but if he does set off before that, I'd recommend putting a single bullet in his back so that you don't completely miss out on the damage-dealing opportunity.

Other than that, my only other recommendation is that at the start it might help to angle up a little with C-Up so that the distant end of the first walkway is closer to the centre of the screen – I'm guessing that would make the auto-aim more likely to work at greater distances. I remember learning (or at least thinking I'd learnt) what part of the blue sky gradient I had to point at to have the best chance of killing that first guard.

I feel like vinny would be more willing to let this breach of bathroom etiquette go if dan didn't so emphatically insist he was not a criminal.

Something that might help on this level- the guys only shoot at you if they have a direct straight shot over a walkable platform. Hopefully that makes sense, they never shoot you from across a catwalk, or from the stairs unless they can 'see' you straight on. There are tons of spots where you can stand just to the side of the walkway they are running down, and you can shoot them without risk of return fire. Also when you run along the long straightaways at the bottom, you can run halfway, then go across the middle to the other side, that way no one will be shooting you from behind.

This is my favorite series on GB right now. I think you should complete it even if you have to beat your head against the wall doing it. I haven't finished this episode yet. You're SO close to beating this level. There's no way you can't do it. Maybe set aside half the day one Friday and just DO IT. :)

Seriously, Rambo 1 comes in at 3rd place for you Dan? Whhhaaat? Rambo 1 is an all time classic movie. None of the other Rambo movies, which I also love, come close to that status. Rambo 1 is a masterpiece, in the same way Rocky 1 is. They Stallone's two best movies, by far. Obviously that's my opinion, but I was surprised Rambo 1 wasn't at the top of your Rambo list.

This being out now makes me feel like I blacked out and missed a few days.

It’s seems so unlike Dan to be such a poor sport when it comes to doing the intro. Come on, Dan! Do it for us!

Here's the scenario:

You're waiting in line to pee at Wrestlemania.

Someone cuts the line like Dan does.

You, along with the rest of society that is waiting in line, yell HEY FUCKFACE, GET IN LINE.

Offending person either gets in line, or should proceed to get harangued and/or thrown into a bathroom stall for 15 minutes worth of swirlies.

Or you know, get thrown out of the bathroom completely and not be allowed to be a part of society, ever.

Dan's "I haven't broken any laws" defense of his line cutting is exactly what assholes say to defend themselves by acting like they haven't really done anything bad. It's the whataboutism of shitty behavior defenses.

Most* people who have stopped drinking due to alcoholism tend to stay away from NA beer for a few reasons - we're trying to break a cycle/habit and NA beer doesn't help OR even NA beer does contain ~.5% alcohol and some people are in complete abstinence. Or, as Alex said, it's butt nasty.

Having non-alcoholic beverage options is appreciated especially those that don't mimic what we're trying to take out of our lives.

*Unscientific research as a person in AA with near 8 months of sobriety

Audio looses sync at 1:13-1:14 minute mark. On the HD file version.

Not extremely bad once towards the end, but figured wanted it reported.

Dan's philosophy that anything that's illegal is bad and anything not illegal is totally ethically fine behavior explains a lot about him.

Making Mike call the hemorrhoids clinic is one of the most reprehensible (non-illegal) things I've ever heard anyone admit to doing tho

Nice Primus hoodie!

Edit: Also, Dan!

I was thinking the same thing while watching this. I remember that shooting Alec with powerful weapons (via cheats) caused enough damage in one go to immediately enter the final phase of the fight, so it's not based on the number of times he's damaged but his window of vulnerability is limited to one shot per waypoint.

Thank you! 1-2 months ago I was having some really bad problems with audio sync issues no matter what i was watching or where. Turned out to be a windows 10 settings I had to change.

Anyyyways i thought the problem was back, glad i saw your comment. ^5!

Someone's gonna eventually pop Dan in the back of the head for that line cutting shit.

I wish Dan wasn't an asshole at heart.

How has Dan never gotten his ass kicked?

How did no one react to that great little scream at 1:19:06?

Dan you cannot end this without doing the 2 best stages (Aztec and Egyptian). You HAVE to get the golden gun!!!

dan ryckert is the epitome of "it's a victimless crime, like punching in the dark"
