IN DEEP With Dan Podcast

Comedy


Dan asks, “What is the value of Belief?” Then he answers it. Whoa. Mind blown.   Alexa and conspiracy theories Help desk Board games Munchkins Catan Arkham Horror Great tips from Ian about what makes board games great.   Whether video game or board game, the “quick dive” games are hard to get fully immersed in, but they certainly don’t take a lot of time.   Dan blames co-worker Juan for No Man’s Sky-shaming him regarding his tiny exo-suit. If you don’t know what that means...that’s fine. This will pass.   A shout-out to Ian’s buddy, Evan, from Ian, who is like Juan (more or less) in his commitment to No Man’s Sky.   Video games Red Dead Redemption No Man’s Sky TeamSpeak and Discord, and Discord as now a social media destination. Choosing a new game with one’s buddies is a matter of compromise and consensus, not just for the game-choice itself, but also upon what platform it will be played. PC gaming is fun. Using console controllers via the PC is great. Put No Man’s Sky acrylic cheat sheet out on Instagram and refer to it in the published show notes. Refer to it also in the script. Xbox ecosystem as a media center for the home. And GamePass. They use the cell phone payment plan mentality. Upgrade the phone or not? The expense of upgrading gaming PC’s. Graphic card purchase of 980 TI via discounts. Anime conventions Trump mask and how it brought a couple together Ian tends to wander off, at cons. The story of him and the cops. Dan used to slip away from his crew too. Ian gives a shout-out to his friend Dan B. for trying to be his bodyguard but succumbing to having to go to the bathroom, a crime for which Dan B. was punished by Ian escaping into the night. Dan speaks to why he DELETED his Facebook account and why he will never do it again. Extensive Anime talk. Ian mentions his friend Brittany, who thinks his choice of anime sucks. He tells the story of “Lucky Star”. Much more anime ensues. Dan wraps up the episode. Don’t forget to click ‘Subscribe’! Please share this show with your friends.
