Finally catching up on this series.... and like many others, I'm OUT. At least for every third one. I just can't take Dan's "act" anymore. I gave up on Mario Party due to Dan, I gave up Metal Gear Scanlan (and everyone loves Drew!) because of Dan, and haven't tried Steal my Sunshine because it looks like a Dan-driven series. I tried this series because I really like X-Com, Vinny, Abby & Alex. That may be the precise reaction he's looking for, in which case congratulations!, you chased an original subscriber & supporter away from the site's content. If you are constantly "acting" as a heel or as proudly ignorant as this "persona", whether real or not, the difference is immaterial. There are just so, so many better ways to spend my limited entertainment time than watching/listening to a boring, unfunny "troll".
Really enjoyed the podcast – all the GBE crew did great and brought a great & different energy. Kudos to Austin for bringing this approach & ideas to GB. Hopefully there can be more random experiments and games like this in the future! I appreciate the difficulty facilitating everything via Skype, especially with some relative RPG novices, but for future episodes it would be helpful to give a few more of the game’s rules. Even for Fiasco, a rules-lite game, I was distracted trying to figure out how the die count and pips worked for the tilt and end results. Probably a result of to much D&D in my misspent youth....
