Dan I want you to know, if you ever read this, that I talk about your videos with the same passion I talk about my other hyper fixations and hobbies. I'm very autistic and have an awful attention span, but your ability to present and discuss your subjects has encouraged me to look into topics I'd have never thought to before as well as giving me a massive push to better present the way I speak. I'm also reading books again!

Dan is unlike the lot of us. When he confronts a creative misfire that's upsetting--like a half-baked jingoist video game, or a bankrupt and bizarre anti-parody--he doesn't just fire up Bluesky and start posting. No, he takes his time. His retribution is measured, considered, methodical... and devastating. If I ever upset Dan in the ways that Call of Duty: Ghosts or Doug Walker's The Wall did, please point me to the nearest body of water so that I may walk straight into it.

Will it be called "Saving Private Ryan 2" or "Call of Duty: Last Stand of the Righteous Aryan Slaughtergods"?

I just heard that Paramount is adapting Call of Duty into a film. The circle shall be complete! The time of prophecy is upon us!!

Also, while I will surely watch this video again when it releases, the extended history of the phrase “call of duty” feels extraneous and irrelevant, explicitly a product of sunk cost research. I think it would be better to either remove it, shorten it, or find a way to tie in the content to the broader thesis of the video.

I liked this video: the chapter transition bit is funny every time and it’s satisfying to see the conclusion that was implied in the panel get space to be explicit. Wish you had managed to put in my favorite synopsis of the plot you said during he q&a section “two brothers hunting down their dad’s ex boyfriend,” but I totally understand why you wouldn’t. I didn’t know you had a wife, but I hope she manages to free you from the nebulous force keeping you hostage- perhaps one explored in a future Call of Duty game.
