The Patreon Podcast - Episode 17 - The Sleepy Podcast

I bought that compucleaner a couple years ago saved so much money and I use it for dusting my lego as well. I just hold the pc fan that I point it at but if you want to properly blast the fans and letting them spin up disconnect the pmw ones that will cause a back current into the mobo. use to clean my pc once a week when I had it on the floor on carpet. since bought an air purifyer and got vinyl floor to collect dust and with the pc on the desk I dust it bi-monthly

Matthew Battersby

Any thoughts/updates on live events in the near future?

Stan Gaskell

In episode 11 of the podcast you asked for under-the-radar Steam gems, so here's one for you: Air Brawl. Utterly free, and the best flying model I've ever seen in a game.

I've had a hard few yeah's, ive had two grandparents pass, I hope you read this your. Videos have helped me get through it all thanks you so much for your videos. Thanks.

matthew singleton

Hey Dan, thanks a lot for your elaborate response to my childfreeness question of last week, it was great! And thank you for not hiding your political views in your videos. Are you still playing Pictopix/Picross? Your video on it opened up a world of puzzle games for me and it's now one of my favourite ways to relax :).

PurpleManners

Hi Daniel, It was an absolute joy to meet you and Rebecca at CoxCon last year and i was wondering if there was currently any plans to return this year

Colin Webster

Finally finished this instalment, interesting as always. I've been equally as sleepy and I listen on headphones in bed so you literally became the voice in my head while on the cusp of sleep! I'm also aiming to lose weight as I'm the heaviest I've ever been. Don't want you to feel bad but I'm the 6'8 guy who commented on trouble finding clothes in a stream a while back, and I'm 17.5 stone...

Stretch

Can you give me a brief summary of the Stargate series, explaining the plot without many spoilers? I want to see if it's worth watching.

Isaac Rodriguez

Hey Dan, will you be doing signed copies of your book?

Matthew Penman

Hi Dan! I'm really enjoying these podcasts. I was wondering if you have any 3DS game recommendations. I recently bought a New 3DS XL, and I'm looking to fill up my game library. Thanks! (Side note: I don't suppose you have any GBA game recommendations, do you? I've started collecting those little cartridges.)

Kai

Would you consider making a video on the remastered Spyro Trilogy when it releases? I adore those games.

Hitchhiker's guide on BBC radio 4 is phenomenal.

Cameron White

It's so nice to go back and watch some Nerdcubed classic(Nerd³ Vs Emma Blackery - WWE '13). You sorta forget the little details of the video, watch it again and smile as Dan senselessly beats a sick and undertrained Emma while making silly jokes.

Vincent Le

Here is some Editing-Porn for you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYBOPPoiRRY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYBOPPoiRRY</a>

George Farren

Hey Dan, your points on representation really made me rethink and mostly realise its great importance. Yesterday I watched "Love, Simon", as someone who came out as gay to his parents last week, this movie really hit home for me and made me feel proud to be who I am. Another point on the importance of representation is the boost to other people's understanding, empathy as well as being therapeutic to those affected. Finally thank you for the brilliant community you nurture, especially in your streams with Rebecca.

Totally with you on the having no interest in having kids thing, and also on the people around me not understanding our lack of interest. We've been together 16 years, we're in our 30s but we're not married or planning a family, just happy living together and enjoying ourselves. This messes with people's minds! Why aren't you following the proper life template?!?

Patrick Jackson

Hey Dan I was hoping for some tech advice due to your recovering of Rebecca's hard drive. I've googled but it's all useless. Basically when an old laptop broke I took out the ssd and shoved it in a caddy for extra storage and it worked great for months. Then it stopped working suddenly. I have a strange feeling before it broke it was accidentally unplugged without safely ejecting. Do you think the issue is the caddy or he hard drive (the device shows up on my laptop now as an unknown device and has an error saying it didn't know what it was and shut it down for safety, also the light on the caddy lights up). If it's the hard drive is it recoverable and if you know how how. I had baby driver on there, not to mention 200gb of quick and easy storage

William Newing

Any chance of a completes series any time soon.

Taylor Page

He has. <a href="https://twitter.com/DanNerdCubed/status/889621122463010816." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/DanNerdCubed/status/889621122463010816.</a> He didn't like it (neither did I)

Aaron Place

Hi Dan, just wondering what your thoughts are on The Grand Tour? I'm enjoying it at the minute but I liked the new Top Gear with Matt LeBlanc more

Your kids don’t like falafel

Hey Dan, have you read or seen Ready Player One? I think you'd like it, it's full of 80's pop culture and video game references.

beats my school test result—which was that I had no aptitude for anything. So I started a business and make videos (non adult) cause why not

WC the Comedian

Adult filmmaker? Score! (Why was that even an available result?)

WC the Comedian

With your affinity for wrestling, have you listened to one of the latest nerdest podcasts with John Cena?

StrandedPatrick

Also Dan, I was wondering if you would take some time in the next podcast to talk about steven universe and how and what you like about it.

Hi Dan, I'm new to patreon so I'm catching up on ur older podcasts. I was wondering if you knew how many scripts you have written and how many of them are for doctor who, star trek, ect.

So jj ruined star trek and saved star wars Thoughts?

Craig (CraigUntlNytTym) Penfold

Will you ever play Overwatch there is a new event out. Really want to see you play it 😄

Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 5 is also available on Google Play <a href="https://play.google.com/store/tv/show/Brooklyn_Nine_Nine?id=YM6xrkEazb4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://play.google.com/store/tv/show/Brooklyn_Nine_Nine?id=YM6xrkEazb4</a>

Shawn Lindsay

“I watch wrestling for the story” sure dan 😉😍 Anyway, question for you: what upcoming switch game are you most hyped for? Also, do you collect amiibo?

Gabriel Moody

And also, what kind of genra do you think you write if you, (sorry, have to think positive :) when you become successful, as it seems that sci-fi interests you the most.

Chewing_Soup

Here's an interesting question: Dan, I do you have any game plan to get to be a tv filmmaker? If so, what might that be and if there is a way that your fans might help?

Chewing_Soup

There is an amazing talk by Jason Roberts who made Gorogoa at GDC this year, its a really good watch. Thank you for helping me find it :)

Kim Clarke

Hey dan have you thought about not so much what you are eating but when you are eating it. Like making sure you get some fats and carbs into you to get the day going and then maybe cut out the carbs and fats of a night after you have done a bulk of your work and make sure you are getting protein for recovery. Other people would know more about this than me but just my two bobs worth.

Hi Dan, Yes this is my real name (you asked in the podcast). Everyone else in my family has very common British names so it can be a bit weird, although it's also an interestingly useful conversation starter.

just been looking back on old videos will you be turning on the stanley parable to get the 4 yeah achivement soon???

This is a test of how many charaters im allowed wow this is alot i dont think its going to sto

What is your opinion on the Beatles? They lead innovation in modern music but how do they hold up to you?

Dan, what is your opinion on Oasis/ the Gallagher brothers? I love their music but they are pretty shit people.

Kloovt

I know you’ve said in the past you aren’t into comic books, and personally I considered Marvel and DC an impenetrable wall of mythology and bullshit. But my best friend introduced me to two self contained comics which are fantastic. They are called Saga and Black Science, I would compare them to Farscape and Rick and Morty (although without the dark humour) respectively. Just a recommendation if you ever get the time and inclination to try and read comics. I found the format of reading comics a tricky one to begin with but was drawn in by the great art and story telling.

Matthew

I work in care, and do a 24 hour shift everything other Sunday and don’t get bank holidays off so this podcast is great decompress on the trip home on a Monday morning so thank you.

Matthew

Can you do a casual PvZ stream at some point

Johnflipper5

Go back to 2015 just after GTA V PC came out, ignoring how the game would go downhill with the shark cards, what would you have liked to see in a future GTA game?

mychemicalbromance

As opposed to 4.30AM in the evening? :P Sorry I couldn't help myself.

By the way, I am now trying to use "Oh you absolute chimney" in my daily vocabulary.

Jellex

What do you think of teenagers?

Jellex

Hey Dan, have you ever you ever used a pressure cooker? It'll save you time and and solve the moisture issue.

Now, dumb question, but why don't you just download that one episode you missed? Given that you are already paying for the channel, isn't it better to watche the episode on your own so you can continue watching on the channel (and therefore "support them" with your time) rather than not watching it and waiting for the serie to be over?

Xelias

Did you ever try anything other than Job Simulator on psvr? You always talk about how and the tracking is on PlayStation, but I really don't see it near as bad as you describe. Job simulator is quite literally the worst game tracking wise I have played on psvr. Now clearly PC options are superior but I don't think the PlayStation tracking is as bad as you think.

Jed Cole

Can you talk about Harry Potter ethier your opinions or how it's writing works.

Morgan

Talking about kids, if you do eventually adopt a child would you have a preference for a boy or a girl? I'm a guy and eventually I will want to have at least one kid, but only a daughter/daughters

Narmatonia

Opinion of Tommy Cooper?

James Barber

Thanks for answering my question, Dan! I agree with everything you said about Infinity War and the MCU. PS: My surname is indeed Polish, I pissed myself laughing hearing you trying to pronounce it! It genuinely made my day. :)

Filip 'PhilTheDead' Kwasniewski

Hi Dan, first off I love the podcasts. Here's a question for you, what would you say helps motivate you to actually get shit done? I myself have a few things I would like to do but I always end up putting them off, what's your way around this?

Josh Ikin

What are your favourite games you've played since you started the recommends series? what are your favoutite games you've played and what are your favourite videos you've made in the recommends series?

Are there any people you'd like to colab with who you haven't had the chance to colab with? (excluding Tom Scott obviously)

Douglas Hodgson

I'm left-handed and I have no trouble using right-handed mice

Douglas Hodgson

It so much fun running around and flying the tardis and using the sonic screwdriver to bypass all the lock picking and hacking mini games in VR

Have you played the fallout who mod in VR yet? Also do you think we will ever get a proper doctor who game in VR as it seem like it would be the perfect platform for one?

Ok, since you now want to watch NXT but are behind, here's the basics: Alistair Black is a dutch Gothic bad ass who kicks people in the face, undisputed era are charismatic heels who specialize in facial reactions and title belt air guitaring, Sanity are anarchists but organised so not really, velveteen dream is a brilliant psychedelic ego trip, ricochet is a gravity defying ninja, The Authors of Pain are mountain gorillas, Drew McIntyre is what every Scotsman thinks they are, Gargano is Daniel Bryan, Ciampa is an evil beard who constantly fucks with Gargano , Leo Rush is a 2013 video game wrestler who glitches around people, and Pete Dunne is like Jimmy Hopkins but British. There's more, but this comment is already too long, and a lot of people are likely called up to main by the time you read this anyway.

Well Read Nomad

Dan, whats you opinion on fan designed Star Trek ships? I decided to get into it because of my hatred of the USS Discovery.

Thomas Reeves

I feel a reason the thumbnails without your name in them etc less views because of people like me. I subscribe to some gaming channels but only watch them occasionally, whereas I watch most (if not all) of your videos, so if your name isn’t in the thumbnail, I may accidentally scan over it in my subscriptions box without realising its you

I seriously think you need to watch more Parks n Rec, the first season is not very good at all, it's mostly just for character establishment. The second season is also a bit of a slow burner but after that all the way to the end it's incredible. You talked last time about how much a good story is predominantly down to character development and there's soooo much of it in Parks n Rec. It has just as much character development as Scrubs does, if not more. On the same point I think the one thing holding Brooklyn Nine-Nine back from being a truly great show like Scrubs and Parks n Rec is that characters haven't changed that much thus far. There have been some gradual developments but not loads. But still, I watched the most recent episode of it yesterday where they broke away from the formula a bit and it was so good.

Mike Jones

i'm pretty sure he uses LastPass. he suggested it once before and i got it, i love it and wouldn't go back to my one password system

CMS creations

Hi Dan, what is your opinion on the recent gender pay gap reports? Yes, the way they gain the information wasn't great but I work in the games industry where 85% of the studios are male and found it interesting. Especially the gender breakdown per level.

Kim Clarke

"WHAT IS MY LIFE." Awesome? I watched nearly 40 episodes of The Adventures of Scipio. Good times!

Patrick Jackson

Dan, if you're fat, then I have to watch out for static electricity, for I am the fucking hindenburg. (21.4 stone or 300 lbs)

Chewing_Soup

Did you do a podcast after watching the Rumble until 4am? Oh Dan, look after yourself mate!

Patrick Jackson

This weekend i watched the first twelve episodes of your Cities: Skylines. Therefore I watched twelve hours of Nerdcubed this weekend. One fourth of my weekend was exclusively Dan faffing around with bushes. HALF OF THE TIME I WAS CONSCIOUS THIS WEEKEND WAS BUILDING HIGHWAYS WHAT IS MY LIFE.

Craig (CraigUntlNytTym) Penfold

I've been considering starting a YouTube channel. Not to make money of course, that's silly, but I'd like to do something like your toys channel. I'd like to show off and talk about Lego sets and other stuff I find interesting. Any thoughts or suggestions for this?

Arcade Cat

Hey Dan I'm from Australia and I just wanted you to know that you have in many ways shaped me into who I am today. Throughout my time in high-school I have been surrounded by a bunch of arrogant edge-lords as well as a bunch of homophobic sexist horrible people (who take pride in sexist jokes etc.) seeing as i am at a catholic school. I cannot thank you enough for shaping me into a decent person, and I am certain that I would be very different (for the worse) if it weren't for you. As Well as this, you inspired me to get into writing, and largely because of you I entered the thunderbolt writers prize last year, and managed to come second in Australia with my short story. I don't mean to brag with that last part I just wanted to let you know that your videos and podcasts have gotten me through tough times, and vastly boosted my self confidence, making me who I am today.

Hi Dan. I just wanted to share something. I'm currently working on a fantasy novel. The idea came about as I needed somewhere to put a joke I thought of...the joke didn't survive the first edit, but the book is coming along nicely. :)

Alexander Lewis

Oooh also need to ask have you seen the Ready Player One film? I love the book and I thought the film was surprisingly good despite being almost entirely different to the book. Wasn't brilliant but I've never seen a book adaptation done that way and want to hear your opinion

William Newing

Hey Dan quick question but I don't blame you if you don't want to answer. I am curious which password manager you use as I take it you use one. I really need one but don't know which one to trust

William Newing

Hey dan :D Would you be up for releasing all the uncut footage of dad cubed vlog. So fans can edit their own version :D

Really enjoyed hearing about your school days would you consider telling us some more stories? Favourite classes and memorable events etc

Charlotte come across as a lovely dorky person in stuff like the Mixed Match Challenge promos when she is allowed to be herself she is great and her and Becky just seems to have the most fun together

Shawn Lindsay

Hey Dan. This is the first time I write. I have been a soldier for 6-7 years and came home with PTSD. I can't run more then 10k anymore due to my knee. But if you want to lose weight and eat (like me) try lifting weights. Is not as hard on knees at running is. Love what you do! All the best! Bjarke, Denmark

Dan have you seen any videos from Binging with Babish? He recreates food from Film and TV, no matter how good or god awful it seems, and his videos are always really nicely put together. Here is his video on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia since you mentioned it briefly today. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2ezpExQ_k0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2ezpExQ_k0</a>

George Farren

I appreciate you caring about audio description. It's not something I use personally, but the fact that you /cared to think/ says an awful lot about you as a person.

Kittenpyjamas

hay dan have you watched legion i think you would like it . its basically just edit porn and dance numbers with jemaine clement being weird as fuck

ben

On the topic of representation, I recently went to see Love, Simon. I don't have a question, it just made me immensely happy.

Tom Chaney

Gonna have to leave the last hour for on my way back from work, but I CaNt STop

Scott

Perfect thing to wake up to, listening to this before I get out of bed

Your kids don’t like falafel

I had a wee look a couple of weeks ago and you apparently really don't need a TV licence for anything radio/radio iplayer

Tom Chaney

Haven't had an opportunity to try it, but my vague plan for responding to a pregnancy is a nice up to interpretation 'oh wow'

Tom Chaney

Dan, cut carbs, not meat, it will work better... but on the other head with Rebecca not eating meat it might me hard

Piotr Szczygielski

I jus got into bed damnit xD. Well I’ll have something to make English class enjoyable tomorrow morning. Haha.

Btw love your videos. And your deleted ones, WHY WERE THEY DELETED??!! They are so good!

Scott

I managed to catch your stream! And I have to say it was actually really good! You could tell you really enjoyed it, my question is what do you think about skyrim after you have now played it on the switch?

Scott

On the train on the way to school, bless you Dan

Holly Sendell-Barker

God bless the commuters

Nerd³

This definitely is the sleepy podcast, apparently even the Americans are asleep right now.

Rachel Wolfe

Also, what's your opinion on each of the games in the resident evil series?

Just got on the bus. Thanks Dan

Just in time for work ❤ Thanks Dan
