lol, is anyone really surprised that Dan "Danned" his way through a film degree?
Especially one where he never had to watch "black and white" films? lol

I like to imagine Dan was the Amazon user that wrote this review:
(The Wizard of Oz)
Finishing up my masters (psych) this year. The class I TA for and 50% ish of the classes I've taken for my major when undergrad are pointless unless you can't work hard solo with the book. In my entire time in school I've never seen an in class assignment that wasn't a waste of time for anyone who has read the material. Just a time waster/reading check and nothing else.

That kid was on a show in 90s, I'm sure of it. I can't remember the name but it was like a 90s Brady Bunch type sitcom.

Hahaha. God, people are such assholes sometimes.
My favourite trend is now people who complain about 4:3 movies and TV shows not filling out their widescreen TVs. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

That's the one.
It doesn't work like that in Econ and math classes. If you aren't doing the assignments and projects and getting feedback you'll never understand the material properly and be prepared for exams. Unless you're a savant.
Have you watched Full House recently? Full House is already a poor man's Full House, I was shocked to find out.
Eh. That can be true to an extent. It can be hard in psych to give a quiz that isn't just a reading check. I can't make people do math problems.
But I do like to show some videos/talk about a few extra things I don't put on the slides i give to the students.
And damn sure that stuff will show up on the test. lol.

Trust me, Step by Step makes Full House look like The Sopranos.

Full House was on television when I transitioned from kid to teenager. I loved it for the first few years but absolutely hated it as I became cynical middle/highschooler.
Agree with econ, since its problem set and mathematics based.
Holy shit, Dan is totally Homer Simpson.
The egg whites thing sounds like an out-take from when he was cooking for Mr Burns.
That bad, huh?
Yeah, sounds about right. I probably saw a lot more seasons than you since, by the time they were synchronised for German viewers, they could air up to four (yes, four) episodes in a row every day. They mainly did it during the summer so I always had time to watch them all. I don't know how I could be fooled that easily, seriously can't think of many instances where I turned that hard on something I loved only a few years prior.

So I assume I missed something, why are they doing UPF on Thursday?
Oh don't get me wrong I've had some GREAT professors, but the majority are basically powerpoint robots, and often if you google lines from the powerpoint you can find out they stole their entire year of work from another professor at a different school.
Had a course last fall that was graded entirely based on two book based exams and a research paper on anything related to the course. I attended all but one class because the stuff he showed/we talked about in class was super interesting even if almost none of it mattered on exams. Could I have skipped every class besides exams and gotten an A? Sure, but he made me feel like I was getting my money's worth paying for/attending the class, not just paying a bill for the chance to take a few exams to get a grade at the end.

Brad is positively DELIGHTED!
Oh the Boobah's. When British television was trying to take on the Teletubbies craze and the subsequent abstract children's TV programming market. I think In the Night Garden was quite successful in China and the UK.

Tweenies, Hoobs and Teletubbies were always the best though.

Of course Dan spent a ton of time with this game.
Of course he did.
Of course he did.
Oh yeah In The Night Garden is huge over here, and I remember the Tweenies fondly.
It's Boo Barrr.
Not Boo Ber. I think.

lol College is a piece of shit anyway. Not sure what you're angry about. He paid for it, so what does it matter? That's all you're basically doing anyways. Giving some fucking rich people more money so you can hopefully get a job in four years.

You guys acting like a degree is a big deal when I'm pretty sure jeff is a high school drop out. People will hire you for your years of experience and a degree, while nice, isn't necessary for a lot of jobs if there is proof of experience.
Get over it.
Get over it.

Does the Giant Bomb audience care as much about Disney Infinity as the GB crew seems to talk about it?
Because I don't.
Because I don't.
Of course not, but do they really talk about it all that much?
Degree are a very big deal and valuable for certain technical degrees such as Medicine, Law (if you want to go into the Magic Circle especially), Engineering, etc. It's also a very big platform and almost essential from top universities for careers in professional service such as investment baking, consultancy, etc. I'm talking from a UK perspective. I realise the US system is very different.
