Every video I see with Vinny just makes me miss him in the San Fran office more and more.

Me too. I know there's a lot of stuff out of GBEast's control as far as their studio setup, but I really miss seeing on-screen Vinny. Quick Looks can only sustain me for so long.

That's exactly how I cut my hair every couple of months or so.

Including the hotel bathroom in a bathrobe O.o

Seriously though I've done it that way since the army. So much cheaper.

Vinny you're the most handsome balding man the world has ever seen. Also, Dan, you've got a bit of a receding hairline. I noticed it on UPF. But guess what man... we all get that. Some earlier than others. I'm 26 and my hair is thinning and receding.. slowly, but still. You're still a handsome devil. But for future reference I think u look best with the longer hair and shaved beard. Clean cut. Great video guys.

My dad is 54 and he still has a full head of hair. We don't all get that.

@rukus: Yeah some light UPF style content with Alex and Vinny would be amazing. Whenever I watch the quick looks I am just imagining Vinny looking at Alex with a stupid grin on his face as he cracks a terrible joke, then Alex rolling his eyes but being unable to avoid cracking a smile.

@scraz: I have a different set of Wahl clippers and they're great!

Pretty suresure I paid a lot less than $47 for them, but that was also like 8 years ago.

I woke up one day when I was 23 or so, and realised the front of my long hair was super-thin. Suddenly realised I was destined for baldness. So I ran my trimmer through it, number 4. My head is shaped weird so I can't do a very good job at that length on my own. Also, I can't actually go much shorter because I have big prominent ears, and light blonde eyebrows, so from a distance I already look like Gollum with a beard. It's awful.

For those blessed with handsome skulls, this is a fine look.

They may have just cut Dan's hair for good. In any case, I'm so happy to be funding these shenanigans.

As someone whose been thinking about shaving his head recently, this sort of scared me for some reason. Looks pretty good on Ryckert though.

For those interested in a good pair of clippers, I suggest the Oster Fast Feed clippers.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001JJBC9Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I paid $55 (I don't since when they supposedly went up to $80, but they're still $55, now. Fake sale price?) and they've lasted quite a while. They're a notch below the $200+ professional grade which is wildly unnecessary for personal use. Also, from the research I did when looking for good, reliable clippers, I would avoid Wahl clippers. As I recall their quality seemed to vary wildly from product to product. Some models are great and others are the worst out there you can buy. Be sure and really research that particular model of Wahl clippers before buying.

@machofantastico: Shaving your head isn't bad, I started doing it at 16 when I realised I was losing my hair. It saves time on drying your hair etc.

I'd totally shave my hair off if I didn't have such an odd shaped head.

My dad's already 70 and still has thick hair. My mom also has really thick hair, so I've double the thickness genes - worst part is that my head sweats like crazy if I don't go to the barber like every month to get it thinned and cut shorter.

But since I look really weird with a buzzcut (had to shave for my mandatory stint in the army), I would look ever weirder bald - so I'm quite happy those particular genes that I've inherited.

The thing that surprised me most after I first started shaving my head was how much more I hit my head on stuff. I never realized how much of a subconscious warning even short hair gives you in letting you know how close your head is to stuff.

My question is how the hell has Dan never been in a fight? As often as he's drunk I'm amazed he's not stumbled into some elaborate misunderstanding that ended in him bloodied.

I guess there's still time.

Why was this recorded? Why did I watch this? Giant Bomb fans are crazy.

I use an electric face razor on my head to get that baby-ass-smooth bald head and it's pretty rad. Been doing it since high school, so . . . 14 years at least?

If that thumbnail proves anything, it's that Dan Ryckert is mere moments away from a convincing hipster haircut at any given time.

I love this website.

I get my hair cut about every 3 to 4 months. It costs 15.00 each time. Not a big expense and it does look better than the few times I have tried to do it myself. Some people can rock the bald/super short look but I'm not one of them.
