It's actually still pretty fun. You can play most (all?) of the game modes against Ai instead of other players. I really didn't think I was going to like the game, but the most recent beta completely changed my mind. But yeah, March is a pretty busy month. I cancelled my Switch pre-order because I realized that I wasn't going to have enough time to play it. Mass Effect is going to eat up hours upon hours.
I only kept the switch preorder because Zelda games are the only ones my wife cares about.
But it's good because that means when shes playing zelda I can be playing mass effect
But what if Mass Effect sucks and / or is really short, and then you want to get a Switch instead and you can't because it's sold out everywhere.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
This discussion tho
Drew is now officially called White Man Blinking
I didn't pre-order the Switch because I like to live dangerous

I cant deal with Drew being this famous
How long until they stop him on the streets

That's great to hear. I never buy MP-only or MP-heavy games unless they have bot support. I have to known that I can play it again whenever I want.

I'm just waiting for him to quit GB and become a Twitch screamer.
he'll be on the eating channel.

No interest on For Honor for me.
If I buy any AAA titles on the next few months it will probably be backlog stuff like Bloodborne or MGSV.
Mass Effect is the only big title I'm looking forward too but I'm staying off buying games at full price for now.
I'm still finishing off Fallout 4 and I'm not level 20 in every Hitman level so I have stuff to enjoy until then.

What's the modern equivalent of I Love the 80's? He could get on that.

"Could I take a photo of you blinking? My daughter is a huge fan!"
someone should tell him that at PAX and see his reaction.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I got recognized in a Rocket League game and that was awful enough. I don't know how people can be comfortable with celebrity.

Hah at people thinking it's from the bachelor.
Drew to be the next guy on The Bachelor.
it'll be the first time i'll be interested in the show.
Weekend Drew got secretly married 5 years ago.
Nah, Weekend Drew is the kind of guy that would never get married.
That's why he had to keep it a secret.

Dan found a girl as neurotic as him.
That gives me hope.

Keep seeing the Taco Bell wedding thread over in Gaming. It just rubs me the wrong way.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's perfect for Dan to get married at a Taco Bell... But when internet "celebrities" enter into a public contest that's open to voting, it just seems... unsporting? There could be a person that makes a much better submission than Dan, but because he isn't as well known as Dan, he'll lose.
Dan has already had so many awesome things happen in his life but this TB Wedding could be the only awesome thing to ever happen to some average Joe.
If Dan actually makes the best submission, he deserves to win. But there's too much bias in the voting pool already to know if it's a genuine victory or not.

It's called "YouTube"

The winner isn't picked by public vote, at least. Only the finalists.
It's a Taco Bell wedding, even if you win you lose. He's not taking anything from anyone.
Oh, thought it was the ultimate winner. How is the winner selected then? A private Taco Bell board room meeting?
Calling Dan a celebrity (even in quotes) is a bit of a stretch.
If I didn't think Dan was really passionate about taco bell it would be different.
But you can not deny that the man is probably one of the biggest Taco Bell fans in the world.
He made a pilgrimage to a beach taco bell.
He isn't doing it as a goof. I think he really legitimately wants to do it
We heard early on that the SP will be throwaway. I don't know which outlet wrote that in a preview. Might have been RPS. It seems like the low bar effort I expected for this game.
I mean, you can argue about the semantics of "celebrity," but there's a 10 page thread about the guy. It's undeniable that he has more pull than just your average person off the street.
And yeah, Dan is definitely genuine in his passion for Taco Bell. It's very well documented. I'm sure he really does want to win this competition. But I'm sure there's a number of people just as passionate for Taco Bell, if not more passionate, who don't stand a chance because they can't compete with Dan's renown.
Then again, it really does seem like the stars are aligning here... I wouldn't be too surprised if some Taco Bell PR guy knows of Dan and his Taco Bell love and found out he was getting married, too. Then, in a meeting about how to capitalize on the free advertisement they get from internet vloggers, he pitched the idea for this competition.
Man, i thought the gamergate language stuff was dying down in the gaming community.
But this pewdiepie stuff has brought them all out of the woodwork.
Anytime anyone says "outrage culture" i mute them. And it is very freeing..
10 page thread...on a videogame website.
It isn't like TMZ is going "wow! Look at what Dan Ryckert is doing"
One viral facebook post from a passionate "random dude" could do just as well

This is the weirdest thing to get upset about
There is no doubt in my mind, Dan is gonna win this. Have you the things this man can accomplish when he sets his mind to something?

It seems in their best interest to pick Dan as the winner, though. It's the best way to maximize exposure to their dumb marketing thing.

How do you guys know the Drew gif has become a mainstream meme? For all I know, those Twitter people who use the gif might as well be some of us.
