I think you had been a lot better off just playing the game than listing up everything in the game, that's annoying. The game is great.

With those filibuster skills, Dan Ryckert is the Strom Thurmond of the crew.

He probably did that bit just to simulate his first reaction to how complex this game is. I'm totally fine with it, but I can understand how one could think that's just annoying as fuck.

Yeah, he was making a point / doing a bit. There's nothing saying you can't skip ahead a bit, which is what I did. However I do appreciate Dan's enthusiasm and rate him

I can't handle that nonstop explanation and my threshold for being annoyed by Dan is pretty high.

Drew's reactions over the long explanation at the start... Perfect. Also, I have no idea most of what Dan said. This is all wrestling, isn't it.

So Dan's joke about reading all the tips was funny for a couple minutes, but it went on way too long. Played through the demo for this game, and it was surprisingly fun. $7 is a pretty good deal for the full package.

If anyone is interested in this game it has a long demo available on the eshop. It's pretty great.

The ones Pokemon money bought.

Demo is really fun. Recommended for those curious to try this game out.

This is like if Dan had started out Metal Gear Scanlon by explaining the entire story off the top of his head as fast as he could. Beautiful.

@basketsnake: Both Griffin McElroy and a friend of mine (who is not a McElroy because I am not that cool) are SUPER into it, and Dan was pretty positive about it on the podcast this week. I'm looking forward to trying it this weekend.

This game looks kind of neat. And only 7$? I... might just pick it up. It's got that nice Go Ichinose music too.

Hearing Dan say "Rub the giddy up button," is almost as hilarious as it is unnerving.

My favorite part of this is how at the end when he didn't perform very well, the tool tip popped up to tell you exactlywhat you need to do to do better next time. That's not a common trait.

The demo is pretty good at laying out the basics, so if this seemed confusing but interesting, I highly recommend playing the demo. The save transfers to the full game too.
