Hey folks,
As I mentioned in yesterday's update, anyone who supports my work at $5 or more will now get to watch episodes of my new show 24 hours before they go public.
So here it is! The inaugural episode of Danny's Disk Club all about Climbing.
In this episode I look back at the history of climbing in games and examine how Breath of the Wild uses vertical world design to reward our thirst for exploration. The video also features analysis of Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed and of course a cameo from Marc Eckō's Getting Up.
Enjoy the show, and let me know what you think.
[Just don't share it until tomorrow morning]

Lovely stuff. Good to remember that the original Assassin's Creed was undiluted and unsullied with its climbing mechanic before all those pesky sequels. And Zelda? Man, oh, man. Such an experience of climb!

This is great! I really can't wait for more. Keep up the good work Danny, but remember not to stretch yourself too thin! Stay healthy and sane. You do a LOT of work.
Josh Carrero
BTW, loved the episode, love the show, and love the name. Keep it up Danny!
Josh Carrero
That was great Danny! I adore the climbing in Breath of the Wild. I really need to get back into it. I stopped to play Persona 5 and now that I'm done I'm free to explore Hyrule again.
P.S. When can we expect the next one? :-)
Nice one sir! Thought we were about to get an expert lesson in horizontal climbing at the start.
Dan Longman
Good job, truly enjoyed this. Thanks Danny!
Tohir Tillyaev
Man, I didn't realize how much I missed these opinion pieces....it was awesome! Loved and still love the name. PS Intro was hilarious...
Martin Hannigan
Loved it Danny, great job
Bavo Debraekeleer
Finally! Love it!
Bloody lovely. Gosh - poor kids today won't know wtf all these disks are about... haha!
Loved it
Steven Oslund
This is fantastic! Can't wait for more ❤️

Woo I love it when you do these type of videos. The music is always on point and puts me in the right mood.
Noclip
No, it sort of wouldn't work as a podcast with the way I reference visuals all the time. But we'll have more stuff going up on Noclip Pirate Radio in the next few weeks.
I'm sick of all this praise for AssCreed: Battlegrounds. Everyone knows Assassins Creed 19: War for Cybertron was the series peak
Great work Danny!
Molly Bittner
High quality video, sir. Thought-provoking, interesting content and well edited. Kudos and thanks for your hard work. It shines through. Happy new Patron.
I didn't realise how much I missed this stuff until now. Great work, and erudite as ever. Referencing both Skinner boxes and Mark Ecko is definitely what I signed up for.

Really well done Danny, enjoyed it quite a bit. I loved Breath of The Wild it really felt like a breath of fresh air and a Studio Ghibli movie brought to life. Hopefully my question I asked on the Q&A post makes it to your next Q&A video, any idea how far out that video is?
Piotr Kostecki
Love it! This is something I hoped you will do someday and poof! Here it is :D
Wesley Bray
Hey Danny - sorry to be a dick if this has been answered elsewhere or isn't relevant given your vision for the show, but just wondered if this will be available as a podcast?
Troy Lindstrom
I liked this can't wait for more.
James Huffman
fuck i'm so happy this is back. also, love the silliness littered throughout the video.
Noclip
Yea, keeping this stuff separate as I want to keep the Noclip channel to docs only. My own YouTube channel will be more curated from now on too. Thanks!
Tory Thompson
Awesome work, I really did miss this format. Danny you are the best!
Chris Shomo
Nice work, Danny! And I'm all for more cameos from Marc Ecko's Getting Up
Ray
Looking forward to watching this later today :)
Noclip
hahaha. What a weirdly antagonistic post. It was meant to be "now". Edited :)
B&L
Fantastic episode though. Really enjoyed it, glad to have this sort of coverage coming from you once more!
Thank you Danny, I loved it 😁
This is fantastic Danny
Ray
Probably shouldn't have that "not"
Ray
Danny, the typo is here, "As I mentioned in yesterday's update, anyone who supports my work at $5 or more will not get to watch"
Scott Shawcroft
Loved it Danny! Is it meant to be on your personal YouTube channel rather than noclip's?
Loved it!
Noclip
If Yves Guillemot announced that game at E3 2018 I'll start gambling again.
Noclip
Agh, I can't see it! Where?
Ben Ward
Great stuff, never really thought about that in BOTW! Just gotta wait 18 more episodes for that sweet assassins creed battlegrounds hot take!
B&L
I think you made a fairly important typo in this post Danny! :)
Noclip
YUP! :D

Oh shit! Have you completed your year 1 goals now?
