The Patreon Podcast - Episode 32 - ANIMAL CROSSING HYPE

Factorio is slowly edging towards full release, but most likely won't be out before the end of the year. But I'm over 2000 hours in it so far anyway

Septimus ii

Hey Dan I just watched Tom Segura's Disgraceful on Netflix. Had a really good laugh. Really recommend it

Mathieu Marlaire

It's on twitter. He said himself that it wasn't a confirmation there weren't any, he just didn't see any.

Zion Aitken

Is that in his i travelled 200 miles video or something?

Malachy Hamilton

Dan. Please. It's mahn-ga, not mang-ga. You're killing me here. (As an aside, also please realize that you pronounce "nuclear" the same way George W. Bush did. You can aim higher, my British friend.)

Felice Enellen

Danny O'Dwyer confirms no microstransactions in Red Dead 2's Singleplayer

I listen to either Synthwave - Perturbator or Dance With The Dead - or the Pokemon Platinum OST. Hella calming.

Do you ever struggle to enjoy video games because you consciously (or subconsciously) relate them to work?

Stan Gaskell

Have you started watching the new series of taskmaster yet?

Stan Gaskell

Hey Dan here is a question for you, how do you think video game age ratings should be enforced? I've always hated seeing 12 year olds playing cod or GTA, have heard it suggested that a national insurance number (given when 16) could be used as a way of enforcing it. Any thoughts?

Peter Barrett

Q: Do you know roughly how well JC4 runs? I imagine it'll be hard to tell since they bring you a PC with the game on it and everything but JC3 was basically unplayable due to lag for like a year after release, and I have a good gaming PC

Rowan Mackenzie

Q: Any unique recommendations for Switch Games? Currently i have Odyssey, Kingdom Battle, Mario Kart, Vostok Inc, ClusterTruck and Go Vacation - something I think you and Rebecca could really enjoy the multiplayer of. It's like Wii Sports Resort x10 with open worlds.

Rowan Mackenzie

Q: How much programming did you do for your games? Systems Nominal, How To Snooker, etc. Was it like dragging logic elements together like 7 Billion Humans or straight up programming? Just curious

Rowan Mackenzie

I can (just about) run it on my crappy laptop that can't even install most non-indie modern games. So who knows what's going on with that game

Tom Chaney

I recall that you purchased the Lego Chiron, unless Iv'e gone insane which is entirely possible, would you recommend it even with the huge price?

You should watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, it's really good.

Since you've recently become quite keen on RPGs and table top games, have you considered the one true RPG and table top game DnD? You've probably done it before since it seems like such a good fit for you, but regardless, I think it would be so fun to watch! Anyway, keep up with all the great work Dan!

Alex

Do you have any video game soundtracks you recommend? I've started listening to them while studying to fill the part of my brain that needs sound without being distracted.

Miranda Walker

I moved to a rural property in australia and my internet is so terrible that i can't play multiplayer games with my friends anymore and because i'm studying at university I struggle to commit to the amount of time it takes to complete singleplayer adventures. Do you have any suggestions on how to enjoy singleplayer games without needing to invest 5+ hours to get the full story experience?

Dan if you want to watch Nintendo Directs make sure you watch the dedicated UK broadcasts! All the releases, dates, prices etc all be correct (and as an added bonus proper subtitles for any Japanese audio instead of cheesy US dubs)

Snizzbut

This is actually an incredible idea! And if dan actually put it on YouTube it could easily go viral what with the Smash hype and such :D

Snizzbut

Hey Dan, if I can make you a recommendation it would be to *not* watch the One Piece anime. Especially later on it suffers from an incredibly slow pacing. I'd personally recommend you to read the manga instead, as it is incredibly brilliant and amazing and beautiful. Thanks for continuing to be awesome :)

Tijmen Bergman

Hi Dan hope your well, as you seem to be getting into anime slightly I can't help but recommend the anime my hero academia. It is what would happen if Marvel and Harry potter had a Japanese baby, truthfully it's my favourite anime of all time and it's currently in its third season , I believe you would enjoy it as it's quite a fun action feel good show with surprising depth and emotion, hope you watch and enjoy.

Morgan

Hey Dan, what do you think of Metro Exodus, Fallout 76, and Hitman?

Grantarg

which would you consider a worse idea, an open world portal game, or a linear just cause game? do you think either of them could work if done well?

Yorie1234

So I KNOW you don't review Nintendo games on your channel... but... hear me out... what if you did a Patreon-only Rapid Roster Rundown of the new Super Smash Brothers game?

Spider-May have swung me over towards saving up for a ps4, while the latter Just Causes, Fallout 4 and the Dishonored and Xcom sequels have all cough my eye, that doesn't seem like quite enough to justify such a large purchase. Any recommendations that are perhaps a bit more light hearted than something like God of War?

Tom Chaney

Hey Dan, we're running Robot Fighting League at our Uni. It's a bit like Robot Wars, but some of the robots are a bit more shit. Would you be interested in being a guest Judge/Commentator (the two is the same in our case) at the next one, 28th November. I've sent more details to Matt (business@nerdcubed.co.uk), if you're interested!

Titusz Ban

Love it when you talk about Switch games you're excited for/about. Really glad Cities Skylines runs well on Switch, I was rather worried when they announced it.

Lisa Esselink

How are you enjoying the new series of Taskmaster? Also, if you had to come up with a NerdCubed/Gaming themed task (or just any task) for TM, what would it be and who would you want to try it?

Alastair Haig

Skylines tanks on my dedicated gaming rig, no wonder it's not great on a Switch.

Mike Jones

So I briefly checked out the CoD:BO4 beta and wasn't overly impressed (The graphics seemed to glitch out badly and I have no idea how to play Battle Royale) but I'm impressed by one simple feature. You can change the key binds to be lefty friendly really easily. Hoooooly crap, why do more games not do this? So many games I've passed on playing because I can't be bothered rebinding literally everything just so I can play it comfortably.

Christopher Kennard

Kinda? It's more a humorous rewrite of the series. The first 5ish episodes especially are a bit meh, but from about the Freeza saga on, it's really really great. Lots of great comedy moments but they do an awesome job of capturing the serious moments too.

Christopher Kennard

I need get my VR hours up holy shit

Birchwood

I remember in the past, games you wanted to play would be separate from the channel, like GTA 5. Was there a specific thing that changed your opinion on doing this?

Mark Fletch

Will you be going back to Dark Soul 2 on streams? I used to enjoy having the youtube versions on while doing busy work. I see you've been doing more varied games recently though which is cool too :) Also, I heard Rebecca wanted to get you into Gravity Falls and I completely support this! I consider it one of the best put together "children's shows" I've ever watched. It doesn't outstay its welcome, the humour ranges from silly to dark as Colombian coffee, world and character building is great and, just, ugh! So good! All the best, hope your body recovers :)

Jack Parkin

Hey Dan there's a new series of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared! :D

Jellex

I need to draw an Infinity Iron man suit now.

Jellex

During the summer I made a... creation... and I would like to see your reaction, I might send it to you on twitter.

Jellex

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Dragon Ball Abridged just people doing silly voices over Dragon Ball episodes?

Jellex

Is that background rustling Rebecca or one of the dogs?

Jellex

Dan what do you think about the new Eminem ablum, Kamikaze? If your answer is anything but 'amazing' you're wrong btw

Mathieu Marlaire

with the mention of Not needing Switch Online for certain games, it is the same with the other online services mostly with PlayStation you don't need PS Plus to play Online free to play games like Star Trek Online and Dreadnought, but you can get Bonuses if you have PS Plus and I think it's the same with Xbox but I'm not sure bout the bonuses for Gold Members

Shawn Lindsay

Did you see that the Saints Row games are backwards compatible on Xbox One? Thought you might be interested. Also have you read the Witcher books? I'm reading the first one and it's actually a collection of short stories instead of one big novel, and that makes it feel like a bunch of interesting side-quests. I can totally see why they made it into a video game.

Arcade Cat

Dan, you've always said that you had no interest in comic books because of Marvel and DC, but you should try Image Comics, they're completely separate and instead do self-contained independent series. I'd start with Saga if I were you.

Narmatonia

Q: Would you think about streaming JC4 before release? Would Square Enix allow it if one of their employees was watching it or are they very limiting about what they want people to see?

Rowan Mackenzie

Oh ok. I was expecting something more exciting than Cities Skylines on switch tbh. Don't get me wrong I love me some Cities Skylines, but I was hoping for, you know... something new

Mathieu Marlaire

Dan, did you watch the wrestling, and if so, thoughts?

Well Read Nomad

would you consider playing the new train simulator or Train Sim World? it's been a while since you've done it and i think it would be quite cool

Ed

So who are you going to use in Smash Ultimate dan? I'm thinking either Snake, Sonic, Mewtwo, or Isabelle, based on what you like (the fact I can even say that is nutty!)

Snizzbut

Do you know of the game The Feeble Files? It's very Red Dwarfesque in comedy and the main character is voiced by Robert Llewellyn.

SourShake

Excellent! Just in time for work!

Chris Ivison

Perfect Timing Thanks Dan
