Seems the gb crew is not alone, seems wider spread than a "only a few headsets are defective" issue: http://www.businessinsider.com/playstation-vr-psvr-motion-tracking-2016-10
I really like Dan in a lot of ways, but sometimes he has no self awareness. He seems to not be able to tell the difference between "I'm making my coworkers angry and exasperated in a fun inside joke way (a la Mario Party Party)" and "I'm legitimately upsetting the people around me (a la the end of this podcast)". To be a person who is constantly tweeting and spends his life/career on the internet, but to not know anything about castle doctrine, or to not understand that these sorts of things are hotly contested debates that make people uncomfortable, well it honestly boggles my mind. While the giant bomb crew, especially Jeff, does a remarkable job towing the line on certain issues and working to not offend anyone, it is clear that giantbomb is something of a liberally minded establishment. The fact that their two offices are located in San Francisco and NYC definitely contribute to this, but is not my only reason for making this assumption. For Dan to be so naive about the complexities towards killing someone for trespassing, well it just really doesn't jive with the rest of the vibe of the show/site. From looking at the chat and such it almost seems like maybe he should make an apology or something. I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting, but come on. It's totally okay for Dan to make a mistake and say some really dumb stuff (dumb scary not dumb funny), but I think he should acknowledge that he did so.
