Yes! Finally some Inside spoilers. Was tired of them tip toeing around the game's story.

He's been drinking espresso in full size mugs, a few a day.
Doctor has him on no caffeine for the next 6 weeks.

lmao this espresso stuff, what an idiot.
Is this like an Ozzy Osbourne situation where he only survives extreme body abuse because of weird genetic things? 'Cause I have no idea how Dan is still alive...

He's still young, barely in his 30s. The price is usually paid down the line.

Dan was drinking TWO FULL MUGS OF ESPRESSO SHOTS + 10 diet sodas a day?!
I'm shocked at that. They are ergonomic, but the sound is absolute garbage.

Man the caffeine addicts on GiantBomb.
Also pre-diabetic Dan. Be careful man. My friend's step dad has partial blindness because of his soul food/southern diet with full blown diabetes.

The hard plastic kills my ears. I bought some Sony buds that have that soft rubber that feel and sound sublime but they do block out all sound which is handy for lawn mowers and weed eaters.

I also love them. They're comfortable and the sound is good. I only use them at work and when commuting, so it's not like I want them to isolate the sound and cancel the sound around me. They're great 👍🏽

I drink on average 8-10 diet cokes a day and 72oz of coffee (12oz when i get up, 24oz on the way to work, 24oz half way through my work day and a 12oz when i get home)
Caffeine really doesn't do anything for me unless i am consuming a shit load.
As someone who came off caffeine about 2 months ago and was only drinking maybe 4 diet sodas a day at that point, I pray for his poor body when the headaches come.

This coupled with pre-diabetes...his care-free snackery catching up with him?
Pray for Dan the day his doctor orders: 'No Taco Bell!'

How is Dan still alive?
I love them. The fit perfectly in my ear, the remote works well and I usually only listen to podcasts so it's not like I need amazing audio.
Does it effect you at all physically? Like its diuretic effect? Your vitals (HR, BP, etc.)?
Because thats already a shit load of coffee to most people.
Espresso has a ton more caffeine than regular coffee or soda. Two 8oz cups of espresso contains over 1000 mg of caffeine (8oz of regular coffee is 95 mg, 8oz of soda is about 30 mg, and one 12oz Red Bull is a little over 100 mg).

An integral part of their recording setup got damaged on the truck back from E3.
Drew has mentioned that a replacement is forthcoming.

old games ~fact check~
-StarTropics was on Virtual Console and had a recreation of the letter trick
-NES Contra actually has a very spotty rerelease history; it hasn't been released on any Virtual Console (They have the MSX2 version in Japan!), and the only rereleases I can find are a Windows Konami compilation disk in 2002 and as a bonus in Contra 4 on the DS
-Yoshi's Island did in fact use the Super FX chip - the enhanced Super FX2 version used for Winter Gold and Doom. It's how they were able to use so much sprite scaling and rotation. There are no Super FX games on Virtual Console of any kind: you can find the GBA version of Yoshi's Island on the Wii U VC, but not the SNES. Explanations range from some kind of emulation issue to a possible legal thorniness as the Super FX was designed by Argonaut, though that company has been gone for ages.
