Hi, I'm Dan.
I've worked in games for 20 years, covering them for Giant Bomb, Game Informer, and newspapers. In that time, I reviewed around a thousand games, played Super Mario Bros. 3 on a roller coaster, made Peter Molyneux review fart apps, appeared in a few games, set two Guinness World Records, wrote several books, and much more.
I also got married at a Taco Bell.
Now I have a Twitch channel. This is it. You're on it now.
If you don't do the whole Twitch bits thing and just want to show that you're enjoying the stuff I'm putting out there, you can go here to donate directly.
Sometimes I have TreatStream turned on. If I do, you can click a couple of buttons and greasy-ass food will magically show up at my door. It's pretty sweet.
It's a gaming podcast. Kind of!
Myself, Mike Mahardy, and Mary Kish might live far away from each other and we don't work in the same building any more, but that's not gonna stop us from having some drinks and chatting about games for hours every other Monday.

I don't archive everything, but select streams and playthroughs get uploaded to my YouTube account. You can also find playlists of some of my old favorites from Giant Bomb and Game Informer as well.
I wrote some books!
The Dumbest Kid in Gifted Class covers a variety of odd autobiographical stories from growing up in Kansas. Anxiety as an Ally documents my long struggle with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, as well as the steps I've taken to make things much better. Air Force Gator and its longer, better sequel are weird garbage books that come from a brain that grew up watching action movies and not reading books.
