This Friday will be my last day with Giant Bomb as per the announcement on the Bombcast today. I'm so proud of everything we've accomplished over the years and so thankful for everyone that has been a positive part of it. It has shaped who I am.
Thanks again to everyone for the amazing memories over the last 10+ years. Feels like yesterday we were all just kids sitting on that couch, filming silly stuff. I can't think of a better place to grow up.
Happy July 3rd! Years ago we lost our friend and coworker, Ryan Davis. He lives on in the amazing memories and stories we all from his time with us. Take some time to make your life a positive part of someone else’s.
Seeing a lot of fun Ryan moments passing through my timeline. Still think about him a lot and his perspective on life. His passing did teach me that living forever really means being part of everyone's most cherished memories and I am forever grateful to him for it.
I'm going to take a breather, spend some time talking with friends and family that have been neglected for too long, and then get back to working hard on something new. Just have to figure out where that energy is going. Again, thanks so much for your continued love and support.
Everyone!

Thanks everyone for reaching out and wishing me well. Starting to feel better actually, so hopefully back soon. Over the moon to have the surgery behind me as it was getting pretty dicey there and the risk of paralysis was scary as hell, obviously.
After a decade my Grover mug has finally given out. Literally the handle gave out sending it crashing to the floor. It was given to me from a fan when my son was born so I wanted to honor its years of service and say thanks again for the thoughtful and awesome gift!
This was...a truly crazy day. I mean I'm a pessimist, so I always keep my expectations low, but this was waaaaay beyond anything I'd imagined for day one. All the thanks in the world to everyone supporting us. I hope what we make more than justifies the outpouring of enthusiasm.
Made it to the third area of Returnal and the game was like "OH, nobody was supposed to make it this far, I guess I'll just make up some crap and drop it all on your screen at the same time so you die now. Thanks."
5 Stages of Data Loss
Denial: Reboot/Remount 30 times
Anger: Curse all technology
Bargaining: I’ll do better backups if you just work!
Depression: I’m screwed…
Acceptance: You know, a clean start is just the thing this computer needed!
I just don't even know what to say and there are voices much more important than mine on here that you should be reading but hopefully sharing this collection of resources is as good a use of my existence on this platform and this following as I can think of right now.
Happy Birthday!
Also, forget everything else in this video as it’s all lies but just focus on the fact that
@jeffgerstmann
is standing in front of Goku in the opening shot. The long con.
I know I should probably be more concerned about what this story is telling me about reporting for podcasts but I’m just focused on that sweet eye candy.
Hey everyone. I haven’t updated my privacy policy. It’s still the same. I will probably never send you cookies but if I do you must accept them or I will not allow you to interact with me.
The horrible "shocks" are gone (as is the problematic disc, btw) and the numbness has lightened in some areas and hopefully, over time, it fades away even more as my spine heals. It's mostly just still in my fingertips. Again, extremely relieved.
As subtle as it sounds, I’ve increasingly found a big difference between folks being upset that you disagree with them and folks being upset that you don’t agree with them.
For the curious, and potential body horror ahead, I had a severely herniated disc in my neck that was pushing against and bruising my spinal cord. Turns out, that's why the left side of my body was going increasing numb and I would get intense shockwaves down my side when I moved
When we asked our 8-year-old why he was in the bathroom so long we did not expect him to say that we was worried he flushed too soon after the last flush didn't go down and the bowl was filling up quickly so he opened the back lid and diverted the refill tube until it drained.
My brain might not be in the proper functioning state, but has my mayonnaise really been called HELL MANN'S this entire time and we're ok with that or did the matrix glitch again out recently?
Today, I somehow lost my No Man's Sky save (guess it was never actually saving?) and my progress from today on Biomutant (loads to a previous save). Still have every save from my middle school life though. Heaven forbid we get the chance to retry some of those encounters.
If you’re the kind person that possibly (I had headphones on) said my name in the street as I was hustling onward “Hi! Nice to see you. Sorry, rushing to make a bus!” is what I wanted to say instead of just “Sorry!”
@DanRyckert
Haha, congrats Dan! I would call those "Never touch" "Have to touch" "Probably safe to touch but shouldn't have to touch" and "Don't touch".
@DanRyckert
I swear this was NOT a bit. I'm not that good an actor and would never torture
@alex_navarro
like that intentionally (unless it was some kind of poop-related story)!
Just recorded a QL for the new Story of Seasons for tomorrow. The most I've talked in a week, but hopefully it all worked out! Game-wise though, I dig it but it has some technical issues that bog it down.
It’s like someone took every cereal in the supermarket and put them in one giant bowl and some folks are like “This is a damn mess… I just can’t” and others are like “Damn! There are Lucky Charms AND Cookie Crisp in here?!”
Well, I really thought we were going to drink and watch the musical but here we go! Not going to say I feel fooled but I AM excited.

Some folks have asked for pictures of projects or tools I enjoy so I made this: It's a site for sharing photos and media. Yes yes, Dad's on instagram. Shut it down.
To future me or to whomever is unearthing this studio I am currently packing up. Yes, I removed all the batteries from the remotes/controllers/etc. And yes, you’re welcome. Also, Vince retires as the undisputed champ!
