Dan needs to accept that he got tricked into playing a Yoshi game by NOA and let it go.

Yup, when you play a game like "Yoshi's Island" who knows what character you could be playing as!

People with too many checkmarks on their box are the worst kind of people. You tell them, Xavier

It's kinda funny how many people can have such bad opinions, e.g. about the best SNES game ever made, Yoshi's Island.

I kept wondering why this was at the top of the site for so long. Good shit. More like this please. Vaguely reminds me of the trip logs we used to get.

To be perfectly honest the last thing in the world I think this site needs is a video shilling for a company that puts out video games that are sub par year after year. It's weird I typically think Dan's interview segments are some of his best work on the site but this one fell kind of flat for me. In this specific case I don't think all the blame can be put on him. I believe he's been influenced by all the terrible free word association emails that people keep sending to the podcast and thought this would be a good idea. It was kind of funny but I recall him having much better banter in past videos. Yeah I don't know, there have already been too many videos of Dan that I'd describe as self-indulgent and this is yet another one. Anyway thanks again duders.

They're trying to make a monotonous event and spruce it up.

From what I can tell, they do these every year, and they're super boring and not fun, especially for the wrestlers. He's trying to do something to keep them engaged, rather than the same boring questions all the other media is asking for the 100th time that day.

I have a feeling the wrestlers appreciate something different.

I don't think Jinder is quite used to being a top guy and having people ask him weird questions like this at events - easily the least natural and comfortable out of all of them, with Woods obviously being the most natural.

Seeing Bayley just makes me sad these days.

Since I stopped watching while she was tops at NXT, it warmed my heart to see her.

nothing stops the Rykert. Xavier is wrong about Super Mario Sunshine though.
