The Patreon Podcast - Episode 5 - The Death of AAA and Sending Facebook Nudes

Jack McCarthy

I know this podcast is 7 years old (oh god) but have you played Deep Rock Galactic? The gameplay is very teamwork focused and the developers seem to actually give a shit about making a good game for their players

Captain_Cone

After watching your awards video, I wondered if you could talk some more about the switch. I think I might want to get one but as a poor student I want to know if its worth saving up for. I'm a PC gamer but I feel like something handheld could be fun. Thanks

What are your opinions on Jack Whitehall? He's always been somewhat of a hybrid stand up comedian / kind of actor playing himself. I'm personally hit or miss on him. I enjoyed him in the show Fresh meat, I enjoyed his new Netflix special where he visited Asia with his elderly dad, but outside of that I find him quite forceful and abrasive. Especially if he's preforming for Americans.

Do you ever get worn out of playing games?

Mike Jones

The advert before your Planet Coaster vid I watched this morning was for the f2pm game Lineage 2: Revolution, how do you feel about your videos being monetised by ads for f2pm games?

You mentioned in a previous podcast you were a fan of Mamma Mia. Given your love of musicals I was wondering if you had seen or heard of songs from Chess: The Musical, written by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, the two guys from ABBA who produced Mamma Mia? It's a great musical which I think you'd enjoy :)

Steven Clinton

What do you think about Activision's micro transaction system patent? Also, have you read The Wheel of Ice? It is a Doctor Who Novel.

Benjamin Poulson

Have you listened to Crate and Crowbar (Tom Francis' podcast)? Really good stuff, lots of interesting discussions on game design.

Siani Marsh

You are much better at working out phonetics than I am. I always go to Sharn to show people pronunciation because that is how people try to spell it. Definitely switching to Sh-AHN, it is much more correct.

MrAndyTF

What do you think of Stranger Things?

Captain_Cone

Just wondering what you think about Robbie Williams lasy album (Heavy entertainment show). Me and my girlfriend love it but it doesn't seem to get much attention.

Tom Chaney

Now I'm sad I no longer have a means of playing it

Tom Chaney

I just remembered Dan's Red Faction video was the first 45 minute+ youtube video I ever watched

Stan Gaskell

This is why I still (quite) like Rainbow Sox Siege. Despite micro transactions being a thing, characters are pretty evenly matched and most importantly you only get XP when you win. It's one of the few places where teamwork has individual rewards. The only problem is that if you fuck up, everyone hates you, but ah well.

Emma Jacob

Dan I was so very happy when you released it all, planet coaster was my favourite completes series from you <33

You've talked about loot boxes a lot already, but do you think that they could be counted as a form of gambling?

Joshua Aarons

Thank you for these. They always make my commute to uni that much more bearable.

Damien Letham

Oh yeah, he was like "OMG, a keyboard pops out the bottom! :O " and he's calling Rebecca over to see.

Damien Letham

I've enjoyed listening to your podcasts on the commute to work. It makes me eager to see the book when it comes out. You should also look into making an audio book version. If you did, and you personally narrated it, I can see myself buying that as well. :D

I watched Staut Lee in Reading a few weeks ago, he was brilliant, spent the first half making jokes and then explaining them to the part of the audience that didn’t get it. My face Hurt from laughing.

FlamingYeti

Hurray, Dan read my comment! Thank you Dan, I'll have a search on the ol' Amazon thing for some good comedy. I have Prime too, so I'll have a look around on Prime Video.

Jackie

Dan, when you release your book you should read it and release an audible narration narrated by you!

Max Tal

Dan, have you hear about a book called American Gods by Neil Gaiman?

Barnable

Waiting for Dan to realise the Priv had a keyboard was quite amusing... glad you liked my recommendation!

Matt Eden

Only today did I realise that the genre of all these podcasts is 'Blues'. Well played Dan, well played.

Tom Chaney

To be honest, when I first saw the 21 videos i did just burst out into uncontrollable nervous laughter

RIP AAA games 2017

Jeff Duvall

I find it funny that around 50k people just skipped to the finale xD

Addison Reilly

Huh. After that comment you read out I actually beat the level just a few days ago. I then went on to try and beat the super extreme hardest one, finding it nearly impossible in comparison. I knew you did it and watched your video, however I got confused by your strategy to the point which I was convinced you must have slowed it down. I then watched this. This is very surreal. You also pronounced my name correctly, congrats. Okay I'm committed to typing now so if you dont know the face of what culture (Adam Blampied) left along with 4 of his mates to form a new youtube channel. Then <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamTheBlampied/status/923278045506605056" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/AdamTheBlampied/status/923278045506605056</a> happened and he got fired from his own company.

did you hear about vr la noire

Christopher Kennard

Only ever seen one stand up comedian live, and that was Rhys Darby a few years ago. Probably not someone most people have heard of, though he plays Murray the Manager in Flight of the Conchords (A show I highly recommend though, as a kiwi, I'm biased towards it because it's about a New Zealand musical comedy duo failing miserably in New York) and someone in the new Netflix Voltron series but I've only seen like, one episode of that. Pretty sure he has at least one live DVD of his stand-up out as well that could be worth a look.

DrgnMstrAdam

Do you think a new console that cant connect to the internet would do well, giving a bit of piece of mind to the customers that they will get a full game when they buy a game? no micro transactions and such.

Dan, would you ever consider doing cooking videos on your IRL channel similar to dadcubed. It’s just I love the sound of stuff you cook but you don’t go into enough detail and it’s tricky to find them. Also love your stuff so keep on keepin on :)

Mathieu Marlaire

I was so fucking disappointed when I heard the news about Louis C.K.

Valthexus

I’m so jealous you have monopoly for the switch! I love monopoly and used to play it always on the ds. Yes it makes me happy. So much but not a lot of people like it it’s got a specific own audience.

Well Read Nomad

Dan, thoughts on [insert thing you want to talk about here]?

Eli Brand

It may have been in the background on a talky thing

Aaron Place

The Facebook thing is pretty weird. But in ways I'd rather some random Facebook employee see me naked than my entire friends list

Aaron Place

Get a partner that talks about you the way Dan talks about his USS Enterprise model

Welf Garkisch

Still gonna recommend the Blackberry Priv (also a smartphone where the keyboard slides out on the bottom ) , #ad, #spon

aidan booker

"I'm going to get this out so I can touch it whilst I talk to you" alright louis c.k calm down

AdorkableSmile

Dan, how does Rebecca feel about having to share your love with star trek and portal like some kinda virtual-reality/real-reality foursome?

HEY DANIEL! I recently got a game called Stephen's sausage roll. I could have sworn you'd made a video on it but looking back i couldn't find it. Am I crazy? Also I'd super recommend it. It's a brilliant puzzle game about Sausages.

DAN! Have you seen that ELO are going on tour again next year? And tickets are a million pounds and I can't afford them, why must I be poor?!??

Binged that series as soon as it came out. Could barely stay awake during the last tree planting stuff, but it was worth it :D I‘m a student and don‘t have anything better to do anyways... also yes to graphs!

Daniel Sims

Mispronouncing Welsh names is becoming a segment, Sian is pronounced Sh-AHN ;)

Jack Harnett

Overwatch has no unlocking of equipment, characters, or anything other than skins. It still has lootboxes for those skins. Compared to other systems like this though, it is pretty opaque. Also teamwork, for the most part, is rewarding and effective.

Yes to graphs. I like graphs. I've been playing a fair bit of PUBG lately, and only in squad with friends. You're right: every match is different, the game feels fair, and how well you do is (ever so slightly) based on your skill level. I say "ever so slightly" because it also feels like the majority of your success in this game comes from luck (circles, loot, positioning of opponents). Even so, it doesn't feel bad to lose a game. Last night I had a game where it was just completely terrible from start to finish. As soon as I died I burst out in laughter from how rediculous it was. No multiplayer game ever has made me enjoy dying horribly and being completely outplayed so much. I think playing with friends is what has really made it enjoyable for me, though. I find PUBG to be a social game, in that it's a game I use to socialise (not Facebook trash, or whatever). I don't take it too seriously, it's there for fun. The friends I play with think of it the same way, so we all have fun together and it is good.

May

Yes, please graphs!

Dan what kind of pc do you have?

Franklin Goodman

Dan, will you be able to release any games this year?

CMS creations

dan! you should put stream notifications up on the steam group. i always have steam open and get stream notifications from other groups i don't particularly care about

CMS creations

"a phone with a keyboard that slides out is a thing that i've wanted forever" boy will you be disappointed when you learn about a 'Danger Hiptop' (which was released in 2002)

Dylan Verbeeten

Speaking of comedy, I'm going to see Matt Okine in Melbourne in December and I'm so excited!

EthanASC

I'm glad my housemate wasn't home to hear the lake of tears I formed while watching about time, to put it lightly. Give us more movie recommendations :D

Owen Reid

Any movies your particularly looking forward to?

Logan Rees

Dan, do you have a total amount of time in minutes or hours that all of your videos that you have ever uploaded equals to? Just remembered to ask when you commented how many videos you've uploaded.

Aidan Rayner

HOW HAS IT BEEN A YEAR ALREADY?! Congrats you two!! &lt;3

Siani Marsh

Sian is pronounced Sharn. Source am Siani

EA have "responded" :P bit.ly/2zzkdXf , also have you been watching Dave Gorman's Goodish on Dave Dan? :)

Conor Moran

Thanks for posting the stats they are really interesting. That's amazing how much content you scrap too, just shows the quality, many a YouTuber would not drop that much content!

Daniel Marshall

Think he mentioned in the second or third one that he hadn't figured out how to do it yet. You can download the podcast via the patreon app by clicking the little arrow on the right of the play button and then listen back via your podcast/music app.

I can't seem to find the private RSS feed url anywhere on this patreon page. I really want to listen to these podcasts on the go, I didn't know if maybe Dan didn't have it turned on or if maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Shawn Lindsay

I think if you ever do another series like that you should make it shorter, Netflix limits it'd originals to 12 episodes max

Jack Graham

i have a bookmark for the playlist of planet coaster, watching about 3 a day

Douglas Hodgson

I thought I had accidently tuned into Radio 4 at the start!

Dan, can you start tagging the podcasts? I love them, but can't always the post to finish them!

and its being heavily pushed in my reccomended

Siana Brooker

I always get my homework done on the day it's given (or late night/morning 😂) this is no exception 👍

Oh go on then. I'll indulge

the risks you take on YouTube inspire me to do my media studies coursework

Nerd³

Have it done by next Saturday!

Will ''The Button King'' Harding

YES. MORE. LOVE IT.

Kyle Myers

Ah fuck, is there a due date?
