I'm sure he will incessantly tweet about signed copies of it being for sale.
That's true. He's definitely a hard worker. Maybe it's a combination of hard work and good personality? Out of all of the crew it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he became some kind of celebrity overnight. He seems to attract lots of famous people really easily for some reason.

Julian Rignall (currently of USGamer, instrumental in the early success of IGN and UK games magazine veteran) springs to mind.

What's wrong with Totalbiscuit? Are people still mad at him about the Xbone thing?

short version: he supports GG, has attempted to downplay the Sarkeesian death threats and generally tries to pretend white privilege doesn't exist

Oh, the last thing i heard about him was he had cancer. I have kind of blocked out the GG thing.
Are you sure he has cancer? Because, well, to put it bluntly, he is still breathing.

yeah, you can have cancer and totally breathe just fine. not sure he knows how cancer works
I will totally have him draw something stupid on mine.

I just can't get over the fact that Jeff is the only guy with an actual name but he has the silliest picture imaginable.
Zaph is referencing something TB said. He said the death threats against Sarkeesian are not credible because she is still breathing

Doesn't make it funny.
TB supported gamergate insofar as transparency in media. He put out his statements at the very start of the whole thing, when there was a flurry of activity and misinformation. I'd imagine by now, like many people, he doesn't feel the same way about it as he did when it first came out.

Just to nip this in the bud - one of the most egregious things TB has said was to question the severity of Anita Sarkeesian's death threats, and I quote "...because, well, to put it bluntly, she is still breathing."
You'd be shocked. But that's really a conversation for http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=918685
He's pretty much double downed on the whole thing to be honest. Which is weird. All the other rats have jumped overboard and he's still there.

You'd imagine that, because you're clearly a well-adjusted person with some level of optimism
sadly, that's not the case, as TB has pretty much never shut up about this for the last, ooh, month or so

What kind of content does he make? I thought he was just kind of a talking head for the games industry.
That's really how luck works though. Sure, Dan worked hard, but there are plenty of other people who worked just as hard, and didn't get his opportunities. There's no way he wasn't the only person to email Gamestop about a commercial idea they had, but he got the right idea to the right person, producing something that would eventually get him a job at Game Informer. Luck rarely comes to those sitting on their ass, but plenty of people bust their asses, and never get that golden opportunity.

Just think it's funny Jeff gets nominated in this Trending Gamer thing after he's recently talked about how he's been shying away from social media.
Anyway, they should give the prize based on Mixlr subs.

If Dan were an RPG character, Luck would be his highest stat.
I'm expecting PewDiePie to win and for me to feel massive disappointment.

PewDiePie is the John Cena of gamers. He's got this one whether you like it or not.
Brace yourself for an incredibly loud and cringeworthy acceptance speech.

Well, we don't know the nature of his pitch and the details of how it all went down. We've gotten the short story from Dan about how he just called up Gamestop corporate and got this deal made, but I'm sure there's probably a lot more nuance to what actually transpired. Even after that Gamestop thing, he still wrote hundreds of reviews and was constantly keeping in contact with the Game Informer people before a position finally opened for him.

Let's not get too hasty here. The only reason Dan should have great luck stats is because he didn't suffer third degree burns when a Roman candle exploded inside the pockets of his USA pants.
You mean people who don't know a lot about games like him? Because I kinda like John Cena, and I don't know shiiiiit about Wrestling.
Yup, he really is. That was probably my favorite moment of this weeks podcast. Jeff is really good at mixing humor and seriousness when he needs to.

Cena seems like a pretty rad guy IRL, too bad he's boring as fuuuuuuck in the WWE

I don't really follow social media, nor do I tend to watch his opinion/podcast videos, so I guess I missed that.
He does nice PC performance videos of various games which saved me from some bad purchases and got me into a few games I probably wouldn't have otherwise.
Don't make me feel this sad on the inside.

Indeed.
dat 3 step process.
Thats what made the "biggest disappointment" segment so great since he went all in due to SimCity being such a fuck up. Bonus points to the other guys feeling really bad as well
Dr Duncan Steel

You know what I take that back, because Cena really does seem like a cool dude. PDP just seems like a person who's presence would just give ulcers left and right.

I know, I just wish things were different.
I've made it a life policy to not have a facebook/twitter/whateverthehellelse is popular these days. It's not that bad, really.

32 inches is pretty big for a monitor.
The biggest I would go for is 30 inches.
Edit: though I guess it depends if you're using it on a computer desk or as a TV.

Man, I wish there was more GB could do about people stealing premium vids and sharing them. Anytime I make the mistake of going on /v/ there's always a thread about how to watch premium videos for free and bitching about Patrick, which is funny because Patrick is more in the background than he's ever been in his time on the site.
