Automatic transmissions are for children. Universal fact.

Can someone make an animated gif of that handshake in the beginning? Thanks.

What's up with Brad in this? He just couldn't care less.

I think his face is fuckin' perfect. Imagine two dudes handshaking in your face..

I'm sure Jeff & Matt were coming up with dumb handshakes before this TNT every single minute of the day so Brad just got tired of them. IMO Brad's face adds more comedy to the gif.

Complaining about complaints is so hip.

Watching Brad play Castlestorm was super frustrating. He fires like 2 boulders a match while his opponents just wreck his shit and strangle off his spawns. Jeff, the voice of reason tells him exactly what to do and he just ignores it.

@brad for your burn in problem. In the Picture sub-menu, there should be a white bar mode, this will run a bright white bar across your screen. run that a few times and it should help with your problem. (note the bug burn in will fade over time as you watch/play other things.)

SPACE Awareness in cockpit view is a LEARNED skill. You learn the limits with a little fuzzy logic.

Drew knows :)

I liked it, I even bought it full price, but i didn't like the controls, so the gameplay was affected and i never got very far. It didn't feel tight.

Dang rorie beats me, I didn't get my first license till I was 21.

I have the honor of saying I still, to date, have never owned a car though.

Manual transmissions can make boring cars fun to throw around. I had an old Mazda 626 that I probably would have gotten rid of a long time ago if not for the stick. Manual transmissions are also more reliable, and though they may offer slightly less efficient driving because you can hold the gear, I'll take a stick any day (don't even get me started on CVTs).

@robertsaignant: I figured there would be people, besides me, who had to rush home and watch some Ryan Davis content. It's very difficult to accept that he's gone. Especially as a premium GB user, I have so much Ryan Davis in my life. We've all lost a dear friend.

R.I.P. Ryan.
