Episode Description

Daniel is joined this month by Evan, an old pal from college and a recent father who has found his time for gaming evaporate, but he's still able to find some time to participate in the genre defining MMO World of Warcraft, which he's been playing consistently since launch, now in it's 21st year. They discuss what it's like for Evan to be married to a popular Twitch streamer.

Evan gets into the game's longevity and what keeps people coming back for so long, but it's also revealed to maybe not be a great thing for people to try jumping into at this point in the game's history if they're not familiar with MMOs.

In the backlog section, they recap King's Quest (2015) and Evan challenges Daniel to play the arcade-y Sega classic Shinobi 3. They also have a bit of a general chat about old games and remakes/sequels meant for people in their 40s.
