Well I drink a lot in the gym to stay hydrated, but at home, I'm frequently thirsty so I have to keep water around or else I'll have dry mouth or sometimes even feel dizzy.
Maybe it's creatine related?

I'm right there with you. I've been waking up 4 times a night minimum for almost 10 years, and neither changing how much I drink nor reducing the amount I drink late in the day changes that. At best, I might get up 3 times instead of 4. I guess I should probably see a doctor about that sometime. =\
It's common for people who have ADHD to become drowsy from caffeine. ADHD is treated with stimulants. Not saying Jeff has ADHD, but it's not unheard of of caffeine having the opposite of the attended effect.

Hey pal, I'm in my mid 30s, lift often, and drink water all the time. I sleep through the night undisturbed. To be fair, I wake up and have to piss like a warhorse, but you should see a doctor.

Does Drew know that Pokemon Red is available digitally on the 3DS? That seems easier than buying and carrying around a tablet and a usb controller.
As for the piss thing, I'm not surprised some people have brought it up. For some guys, it can be because of prostatitis, which is usually just from habit (but it can rarely be bacterial). You can inflame it with too much alcohol, caffeine (Dan!), sitting or sexual activity. Doctors prescribe antibiotics often, but that doesn't solve it.
I've got a touch of it in the past, where I'd have piss about 7-10 times in 24 hours (compared to the usual 3-5). I can sleep through the night just fine, but during that period I had to wake up in the night, too. It's all good now.
Overactive bladder, prostatitis and stuff like pre-diabetes (Dan!) can definitely lead to this a bit. For prostatitis, try Prostaphil-2, which is a great natural supplement that helps with any inflammation down south.
In general, limit caffeine and alcohol, try and stand at your desk more, and leave your dick alone for a while. All good.

Some good NES talk this week. I didn't realize that all malls had those bootleg ones.
I had this bad boy:
Real good Okay for playing Famicom games.

I sometimes feel a bit overanxious after drinking too much caffeine, I can't even imagine what that would do to Dan. I'm sure cutting back will pay him huge dividends,

The big divide between "FGC" who make all or part of their living on competition and "eSports" in the FGC's eyes as I've seen it is always one of "do we control who we are, or are we performing for what really is this enterprise" deal. That way competitors dont end up like RTS and Mmmmmmmobas where they're "the talent" rather than the core of the whole hootenanny.
KISS has alot of subtlety! *snrk*
And the reviews just end up being lightning rods of criticism. It is interesting to see noticed trends in the Giant Bomb Way getting put to words.
Steam controllers go on sale in bundles.

Monster Punch has 160 mg of caffeine, Dan's cup of Espresso has about 1000 mg...
I know Jeff loves his energy drink stories, but it's really not the same thing. Fucking Dan...
An organisation like the ESL would pick up something like SFV in its release year and then drop it for the next new thing. Meanwhile FGC tournaments will exist no matter what, because they always have.
They are at a crossroads now, though and it shines through from time to time. But so far it's been handled pretty well.

Yep, "Esports" is mostly league organisations like ESL and MLG or companies propping up/controlling tournaments like Riot and Valve to a smaller degree. The FGC is proud to be mostly independent of that. Even the Capcom Pro Tour adds to existing events, which is a great way of doing it.

To be fair, every email looks weak compared to "Pokemon or Drug?"

it's been a bit not great recently, yeah.
The emails aren't great in general but I seriously think it is Brad. The few times recently Jeff's picked them instead it was far better.

They should stop Dan talking about his terrible dietary choices. I know the statement is cliché and all but there are kids listening to the bombcast.
I think Dan is a smart dude and it's funny watching him portray himself as the forest gump of video games journalism, but I dunno, it's scary that some people might take him more seriously than he takes himself and idolise his lifestyle.

And the Tumblr is being ignored. We should not stand for that!
I quit soda cold turkey. One of the best decisions.

They're right on about the FGC stuff. I really only saw people angrily lashing out over twitter to people who didn't know what they were seeing.

This week's Bombcast was AWESOME.
"Is this ESPN2 or The Nashville Network?!?!"
I was half way through this episode and thought the exact same thing. I think the problem stemmed from the fact that they didn't contribute anything new or interesting to the CSGO gambling or NES Classics topics. It just sounded like a run of the mill episode. Even the "shocking" Dan revelation is just another in a long list of revelations from Dan's life. It also doesn't help that Drew is actively working on production activities so he can't easily chime in.
I also agree that someone else should handle e-mail selection.
Not every episode needs to be a winner so I'm giving them a pass on this one.
Anyone bad mouthing KISS needs to listen to this
It's not terrible, but there isn't really much to talk about. We're in the summer drought period.

Okay that's it. I've now lost all respect for Jeff and Dan for their dissing of the legendary KISS. Jeff with his shitty rap music and Dan with his love of Axl Rose and GnR. They then go on to trash talk KISS and then it turns out that Dan doesn't even know any of their songs. He has no knowledge or background at all with KISS. I get real irritated with Jeff and his dismissive attitude about damn near everything they talk about on the Bombcast. KISS may have dumb songs about sex etc, but you can't deny the influence they've had on a myriad of musicians that came after them. They are still touring strong to this day selling out shows. Only a handful of bands have had the staying power that KISS has.
Don't get me wrong, everybody has their own tastes in music, to each their own. But these guys have no background or knowledge of KISS. Dan's point about Paul Stanley being dumb, or a stupid person, is flat out a false statement. Once again showing his ignorance as he does on many of the subjects on this show.

No. They don't.
Easy to check, just stop drinking water 3 or 4 hours before you go to sleep and see if you only wake up 0 or 1 times instead.

I fucking love this.
Jeff was right, though, the Donna's version of Strutter >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> KISS version. Sorry KISS bros. Unfortunately the Donnas got kinda shitty when they stopped trying to be the Ramones and started trying to be KISS instead. Coincidence? I think not.

KISS is the Wrestling, Anime, and Giant Bomb of rock.
It would be good for adults to not have to listen to that crap, too. Unless they're a doctor.
This is about right for me, but I rarely drink coffee nowadays, and when I drink like more than 2 mugs I get bad headaches.
The more I hear Ryckert talk, the more he sounds like a real-life WaLuigi to me.

After not having consumed anything Giant Bomb related for over a year, I finally realize how weird these podcast threads really are.
Whoa, they're really close together.
Weird as hell.

When they talk to Drew it's like they're talking to me. Finally getting the Internet Friendz experience I always wanted.
This is fucking with my head.
This kinda reminds me of that video with Drew talking about his trip to North Korea. It has a similar feel to it.
Oh jeez, Dan's espresso story is even worse in video format. Brad looks sickened and Jeff looks like the "Son, I am disappoint" father.
I feel the same way
