    :(

    That's two podcasters/tech celebs to lose pets. Brady Haran of YouTube and Hello Internet fame recently lost his greyhound, LuLu:

    Damn. Pets are family and losing one sucks about as much losing anyone else.

    Somehow I missed Alex's announcement on twitter from two weeks ago that he's now in a NYHC band. Last night they played their first show:


    He reports it was "good".

    edit: also, the narrator from Bastion witnessed it

    Ugh, my Corgi is 10, and I'm starting to see him slow down a bit, have to work a little harder to get up stairs, not quite as spry at the dog park. Doing everything I can to just enjoy the time I have left with him and not think about it, but I know it's coming in the next few years. Will's dog passing hits me right in the feels. Corgi's really are a way of life once you have one.

    Of course they would pick Alex to read the opening PSA about smoking and driving.

    Y'know, because of all the driving he does.

    I almost went to Alex's show last night, but I ended up not going.

    I wanna run into Oscar Isaac and Logan Cunningham (who I've actually run into a few times on public transit)

    I've actually liked those DUI ads, they're pretty direct without trying to be too hip.

    Okay for some reason Giant bomb have been pretty accessible to me these past few days, kept getting the "This site can’t be reached The connection was reset." page. I've even cleared the cookies too so I am not sure what's going on

    I’d really like to see Alex do a show, weeknights are a bit tough for me to get out to the city but I could work it out.

    I definitely have that weird nostalgic affection for DK64, even though I was pretty sure it was kind of bad even back in the day.
    This series should be fun.

    DK64 was cromulent.

    Getting all 200 bananas was tedious and there were a lot of stupid mini games but just getting the 70 you needed was fun. And the boss fight with K. Rool using all 5 characters was cool.

    I skipped over Banjo-Kazooie so I dont regret buying it. And Majora's Mask needed the expansion pack which was amazing.

    I mean would you imagine the size of the bowl (and the perishability of the bowl) if their currency was actual bananas

    I think I would have been happier with a Banjo-Kazooie feature (Jack my Jiggies?) instead of DK64, but then again I never thought I’d be so entertained by by sunshine, so what do I know

    The Dan Ryckert problem is that he is too ridicilous to ignore.
    Any show where Dan Ryckert is present is a ticking time bomb until he says something so insane that it derails the whole thing.

    That's not a problem, that's a feature!

    It's only a problem when Old Dan rears his face. Which is why I avoid features with Paul in it, he's the original Old Dan and woof, run awaaaay.

    Hey remember when Dan said he was starting to read more, and all the books he was choosing were things your grade school/middle school/high school probably made you read that Dan definitely didn't?

    Why is that a problem? Like, a lot of those books are good, and much more enjoyed in an environment where you aren’t being browbeaten into reading them.

    That was my point, that Dan is just starting to read young adult fiction that might have introduced these concepts to him as a kid if he had read them. So maybe he'll understand the concept of themes and allusions and metaphor via the page.

    I (mis)read your earlier post as being sarcastic/snide? as it looks like a few others did too. Welcome to the Internet ..

    But yeah, he's chosen some of the founding books of modern Western/American culture. Let's hope he doesn't find Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Hell swear off books again for another 30 years.

    Well, it happened: I had to explain my Gerstfield shirt to people at the dog park. Thankfully the dude was slightly familiar with Giant Bomb at least.
