Not even 5 minutes and everyone (justifiably) has something to scream at Dan about.

As a British person, line/queue cutting is a crime against our very core tenets. I will be filing a motion in parliament to never allow Dan into this country.

@shaanyboi: "Because they're stupid and following the herd"

I've literally seen people get their shit kicked in for cutting lines at events. How Dan has lived his life thus far with this line of thinking is amazing.

We used to call cutting "gypping" which I know is 100% not something you can say anymore.

The first four Dune books are great. The movie adaptation was awful. The sci-fi channel version was okay-ish. I’m not hopeful they can make it properly

I had to come here right away even on mobile to say that Dune is basically Game of Thrones in space, it is one of my favorite sci-fi series of all time and it is very good. (All the prequel stuff his son wrote is absolute trash)

If you're ever in South Jersey, check out Garden State Brewery in Galloway. They are personal friends of mine and make very good beer.

If Dan actually had to wait in lines to go to bathrooms like a normal person, he'd rate these wrestling events his most disappointing events of 2018.

I love Dan, been following him since his GI days, the guy is great but he is an asshole. Anytime something like this comes up and people call him some stupid fucking wrestling term I have to bring up that time at GI where he almost ran his co-worker off the road because he was goofing around. I bet he's brought it up at GB before but I don't remember all the details.

Im vary willing to take a graphics hit for the portability for Switch Trials. The Fog of war is a little weird but once you get use to the analog stick gas pedal it feels fine.

You're mostly wrong. PUBG just allows you to ping a general direction on your compass and place markers on the map. Apex's system is similar to Battlefield's, but a lot more context-sensitive and with way more options.
