I'm sorry, I don't want to be this guy, but Dan playing Dota felt really, really mean spirited. I'm all for the occasional ribbing of the game, but man they ruined 9 peoples' game, who all seemed pretty polite given the circumstances. It just seemed really immature, which sucks because I loved the show besides that segment.

Are Fibbage codes always only 4 letters? That seems a little short-sighted (do the math)

Someone needs to do some unnecessary censorship on this conversation at 1:36

Brad: "Your fancy big *beep*."

Dan: "No, I've got the smaller one."

Brad: "It's still pretty big."

Alexis: "Yeah, it's a little big."

Brad: "I held it earlier and I was like huhhhh... this is a big *beep*."

Drew: "But it's easier to hold, like it's thinner."

Brad: "Yeah."

I still can't believe that Dan used his entire segment just to troll Brad. Haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Also Fibbage looks really fun.

Some dork: Don't talk to us.

Dan: Got it...radio silence.

Dan: Good call.

Dan: *OVER*

The entire DOTA segment was a ringer of emotions but this was fucking hilarious. Then he rated it five stars!

I've never really had an opinion on DOTA, but now that I've noticed it says you "pwned" someone whenever a kill occurs, I now fucking hate this game.

Yeah, I saw that and feel the same way.

I'm sorry but to me it seems like everyone that is making a fuss about Dan's brilliant piece of performance art might be taking "gaming" a bit to serious. It was just 1 match people, relax. No crime was committed.

Also props to those people he was playing with for staying so polite.

Or what about the time they went into one of Arma 3's roleplaying servers? And they did that twice! People need to chill, it's just one game of Dota 2.

All three of those were fucking hilarious. Seriously, it's one game. Anyone who plays DOTA will have had games like that, but it's one 40 minute game, you get over it pretty quickly.

Ahh Dota, the game where you have to already be a pro before your very first game or else. You did well young Ryckert.

I didn't think the Dota segment was particularly funny. I don't think being a jerk becomes funny because you're on camera (see also: Tom Green etc).

I could totally see this concept being spun in to its own feature. They could call it "Rickrollin' with Ryckert" or something.

Just think, if Brad hadn't double crossed Dan on Mario Party, none of this would have happened.

The next logical step is Brad takes the piss out of Metal Gear Solid next Friday.

Man, some of you Doter folks are touchy. I've played some Doter, and nothing that Dan did that game comes close to the kind of nonsense I saw in some regular ass, not-being-streamed-to-thousands-for-entertainment matches.

Not a big fan of that DOTA segment either. Mostly cause it was not funny while being a dick to others, felt super lazy and hope @danryckert can be entertaining without acting so unfunnyly immature like in this and the metro QL. NOW FUNNY IMMATURE AMIRIGHT GUYS WHO WANTS THIS HIGH FIVE... anyone?

I'm betting that Brad was holding in a large smile behind that face when Dan started Dota 2. In the end he kept being a backseat driver though.XD

"PRESS Q!!!"

"TRY W!"

"You are controlling TWO characters now."

Just asking for fun here, did Dan use a character which was supposed to go uh... bot when he went top? (Idk, I'm also bad at that. Should be in a sort of infowindow in all of these games.)

I got no idea about Dota's characters, but it seemed to be either a warrior or a tank. The name sort of suggested it as well.

I got at least the basic thinking of these games due to being in a team I know irl and learning sloooowly.

Still means one player might ruin the game for us... though we did not allow that. X) Turned the game around despite jerks. Co-op + skype = gold (Just saying. ^_^ )

Calm down. It was a joke, and it was funny. Mostly because it's a bad game.
