"WAKE UP GAMERS, CAUSE YOU'RE LISTENING TO BIG THINK DIMENSION WITH KZXCELLENT! "I'm optimistic about things!" DAN AND BOB VIDEOGAMES! "You see that mountain, you can fuck another man on that mountain." AND MR. FEEL! "Lords of Shadow is a bad game." HERE ON GIGABOOTS!"

GigaBoots is a Let's Play and podcast channel run by Dan Videogames and featuring his friends Bob Videogames, KZXcellent (Up until his departure from the channel starting with episode 185 of Big Think Dimension) and Kris Wolfheart (Addressed as "Mr. Feel" until episode 184). Other guest members such as Dr. Aggro and Eric also join in from time to time. Besides let's plays and streams of various games, the channel also hosts a variety of other shows such as Button2Pixel where Dan performs latency tests on various games and controllers, and The Rant Is GO! where Dan rants about various video game-related topics.

The main attraction of the channel, however, are the podcasts. These include but are not limited to Big Think Dimension (a video game news and discussion podcast where the gang discusses that and also Taco Bell menu items), Armchair Devs (a series where members of the group give various pitches for a new entry in various, usually defunct, video game franchises), Gamer Premonitions (where the gang makes various predictions of what will happen in certain upcoming video games and the industry in general) and Cursed Content Club (where the crew watches and reviews "cursed content" which equates to bad movies and series).


"But first, we need to address the Tropelords." "THE TROPELORDS?!"

  • Actually Pretty Funny: The Cursed Content Club episode on Paul Blart: Mall Cop has the group coming out surprised as they ultimately found the film entertaining rather than utterly wretched.
  • Capitalism Is Bad: Kris and the others occasionally talk about capitalism and its relation to scummy business practices, worker abuse, and general greed in the video games industry.
  • Couch Gag: Every episode starts with each member of the podcast saying a random Non Sequitur.
  • Deadpan Snarker: The whole crew is this, but special mention goes to Kris.
  • End of an Age: Episode 249 of Big Think Dimension marks the final piece of Gigaboots content that's filmed in the house that every prior video took place at.
  • Faux Horrific: In Big Think Dimension 139, Kris is horrified when Dan and Bob reveal that they watched two episodes of modern Simpsons (season 32). The two feel that it's one of the most soulless things they watched.
  • Insistent Terminology: Vince from As Dusk Falls? Surely you mean Adam Jensen from Tom Goes to the Narrative? note 
  • Stylistic Suck: The Cursed Content Club logo.
    • Armchair Devs pitches tend to be this to the point of absurdity.
  • Wham Line: Many Armchair Devs pitches contain one of these due to the nature of the show.
    Dr. Aggro: "So, what may not have come across in my answer to your earlier question is that, when I say you will be leaving your home to travel to West Virginia, that is actually what I mean.
    • Wham Shot: Sometimes paired with these are the drawings in the art segments of the show.
