I heard from a very reliable source that Dan Ryckert killed a man purple monkey dishwasher.

Well, I was going to try to find the link to where I saw it, but it was a week or two ago and I can no longer find the specific conversation.
However, on another site, one of the "Dan Ryckert is clueless" stories is how one time he bought himself some pet lizards and instead of asking or looking up what they eat he decided to offer them Cheez-its because "Cheez-its are delicious". The lizards rejected Cheez-its, but that didn't dissuade Dan Ryckert from offering them Cheez-its and nothing but Cheez-its because he couldn't comprehend why someone would reject delicious Cheez-its.
Not a huge fan of Dan. His idiocy can be endearing, but a lot of his preferences are very, very odd. I also don't really like sports, aside from the weird stuff Drew talks about (that's pretty interesting, but I don't follow it either). I also googled the animal abuse thing and couldn't find any details related to that. So my dislike of Dan is rooted in thinking Terminator 3 is better than 1. Because he is insane. He thinks Sunshine is better than 64? How? How can any person think that?

Wow. What an asshat. Is this a true Dan Ryckert story?
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
I mean, it could be, and there's no source. But does that really sound less believable than his egg white story?
I don't give a shit how made up it sounds. You don't use an un-sourced story that you can't even find on the Internet to accuse a man of being an animal abuser.
I mean anyone can say "This insanely popular and revolutionary thing is crap" but without a reason it just seems like fishing for reactions
They're not particularly fun to play. 64's whole "this is how you make games in 3D space" makes it an important game, a Citizen Kane of video games if you will, but I never particularly liked how Mario controls nor was I particularly fond of a lot of the missions you need to complete.
Then again, I also think that Super Mario 3 was the last genuinely good Mario game, so...

I did a little googling and found some references to "Dan's lizard/cheez-its story" on forums and such.
Can't find the original source (I'm assuming it was something said in a podcast?), but apparently people have heard it.

I was with you until you disparaged the greatest Mario game of all time, Super Mario World.

The lizard bit is referenced elsewhere as being in this Game Informer video, but I haven't taken the time to check it out. In case somebody else cares to do some legwork:
And I remember Sunshine having really solid controls, even if the game itself had some serious issues, like the limited color palette, stupid Yoshi mechanics, and some really boring objectives.
Those challenge stages were fantastically difficult, however.

He says he stopped trying to get them to eat Cheez-Its and bought them regular food, and then gave them to a friend who took care of them.
It's at about 43:10 in there. He didn't want to have crickets in his fridge so he tried Cheez-its for a while to no interest (and eventually he did end up buying some proper food for them). He sold them to a friend after a couple of weeks of this, apparently. (I thought maybe he was a kid but this was like 6 years ago. :rotate:)

He kinda still is a kid. It's weirdly endearing as I see some of myself in him. I'm still pretty picky with my food...and look, man, if I never got married, there's probably tons of stuff I wouldn't realize once I lived on my own.

So he tried something that was dumb and it didn't work so he did the smart thing, then he realized he didn't want to take care of the lizard so he did the responsible thing.
Definitely silly, but there's no animal abuse here.
There's a pretty huge line between being a complete dumbass and trying to feed a gecko something it doesn't eat for way too long and the kind of image the general phrase "animal abuse" conjures, but yeah that is definitely a mark against him in the old karma book.
Geckos can survive a good long time on the fat in their tails too...though I doubt the guy trying to feed them cheez-its knew that, either.

“I tried to feed them cheez-its for a good two weeks. And they did not like cheez-its. And I could not understand because cheez-its are so good.”
If you keep listening he says he bought them real food.
"eventually."
I'm sorry, but I automatically side against anyone who does dumb shit that endangers an animal because he can't ask questions and buy them the proper food. I've dealt with too many assholes to have any patience for the "I didn't know any better" excuse. I spend a lot of time volunteering in animal rescue and I hear it from people who chain their dogs up out in their yards, I hear it from people who try to feed their cats vegetarian diets, and I hear it from pretty much everyone else who does something dumb that hurts a pet.
The fact is that animal abuse isn't just a guy beating a dog with a stick. There are plenty of degrees and flavors.
And there's still the fact that this is all based on offhand comments from Dan on a video stream. And honestly, I don't know if he's just exaggerating shit, or if he's really that fucking stupid, but neither would surprise me based on what I've heard from him so far.

Not defending him, but this is the same guy who tried to cook eggshells because he thought they were the whites. Selling him a lizard is like selling a two year old a lizard, without help he's going. He needs adult supervision or he'll accidentally kill it. Not out of some sort of malicious intent, but out of vast vast ignorance.
But the Vinny move has basically meant a GBEast takeover in terms of site content.
Also, I can see people liking Sunshine more than 64. It's a "modern" control scheme, you basically get a "gun" that you can shoot things with, it's basically Mario 64 with a better camera and more stuff to do.
I've never played 64 and I didn't get super far into Sunshine, though.
SteevLWhat can I do for you?Registered Userregular
All this talk about the 3D Mario games has made me realize that I've never beaten any of them except for the first Super Mario Galaxy. I skipped the N64 until a few years later, and never had Mario on it. I have Sunshine, but got stuck on a level and kind of gave up.
My favorite will always be Super Mario 3. I liked World, but I didn't have a SNES until the N64 was out. I played the hell out of SMB3 though. The world map, the frog suit, Kuribo's Shoe. Everything about it was just so fun.

I still have trouble believing someone isn't just jerking my chain when they say their favorite Mario game is anything other than SMW.

He said he sold them after two weeks and bought regular food sometime before that.
“How long did you starve these geckos?”
