If you liked Downton Abbey (or are into period dramas at all), watch Doctor Thorne on Amazon Prime video. I loved it and haven't had the opportunity to tell people to watch it.

7th Guest is so good. I still have installed on Steam. I should play it again.
Shenmue Endurance Run or "Dan Asks Questions I Would Expect Someone In Their Thirties To Know But Follows it Up With Something I Can't Quite Answer"

Everyone shut up I'm trying to watch 7th Guest
So I've been listening to this fictional podcast called "Hello From The Magic Tavern" about a guy that wanders into an alternate dimension and happens to have some podcast equipment so he records interviews with various locals (wizards, goblins, bards, etc) at a tavern and he takes emails and in episode 16, he read an email by someone named Dave Lang saying Chicago is filled with alcoholics.
Is Dave Lang a listener of "Hello From The Magic Tavern"?!
Also, highly recommend it. It's pretty hilarious.

Watching Vinny make the joke about the mini-dart thing and then doing the little imagination thing with Espio taking his Hornet, that's so dadlike of him haha.

I will subscribe to that under one condition. Does the host play it totally straight, as if the whole premise of the podcast is true?

Yeah.
I imagine the host is part of a community acting troupe, and he gets his buddies to 'role play' for his podcast. Still, it sounds like a neat premise.
He does at first, Sleepy, but after a dozen or so episodes he starts to break the 4th wall more and more. I stopped listening because of that in ep. 50 or something.
And he is, Trabuch; they are also close with the CAH people. It's worth mentioning that the host of Hello From The Magic Tavern workes on the Jackbox games.

Yeah, it's all in character
Does he? I'm 17 episodes in and he seems to still be playing it straight.

That's interesting what Jeff said there. Hopefully we get more 7th Guest on the site!
Yes!
I'm going to give it a go. I love that kind of stuff.
No!
Yes!
The show is recorded in Chicago with a bunch of improvisers from there and I think they're friendly with the cards against humanity people, so it's safe to say that Lang is aware of them.
It's a good show, I got into it earlier this year and enjoy it a lot. It's sometimes a little samey, but it's one of the better improv based podcasts out there.
The ep where Flower is introduced is the funniest of all of them.
edit: at first they introduce original concepts to Foon, the world where the fiction happens, but after a while they just keep imitating things from real life with a small twist.
Like a boxer that is almost the same as a boxer that really existed, but he has a slightly different name.

I hung out with Hatsune Miku in VR.
Clothes were optional in this particular piece of software.

It was weird, I guess I'm not into that.
The performers are all trained improvisers. The guest usually just gives them a heads up as to what sort of character they're playing and they go from there.
Edit:
Yeah, I've only listened to the first maybe 40 eps before I got a little bored largely because of the stuff you mentioned where the "earth refrences" jokes got way out of hand. I keep meaning to go back to it though.

Canadian Miku is the most deadly of all.

It's not as bad as they say, no. Traffic is not great, but you don't have to live so far from downtown as they do in SF. Cost of living (I live very close to downtown) is noooowhere close to SF. Austin is fucking great.

Oh man I remember brad's long haired crazy friend, that dude was awesome
Yeah I love it here. I've made a few trips to California for business and it seems like a nightmare.
Dan being some sort of learning AI explains why he asks so many questions.

Austin is pretty rad but like most cities, I can't really imagine living near or within it.

LOL that fly is enormous!
There are great parts of California though. I grew up in Northern (actual Northern, not Bay Area) and went to school in San Diego. I love both those places.
I love living in big cities. Sometime you just need to get a taco at 2 in the morning. But yeah, Austin is not a forever thing for me.
