Aliases
Dan is also known as the "Toasty!" guy in the Mortal Kombat games. According to Dan, this was because when he and co-workers played Super High Impact, he would say, "I predict toast!" (IE I predict you're going to lose!). Later, the quote turned into, "I predict toasty!". During the development of Mortal Kombat, one of the game designers suggested that Dan use it in the game.
