I don't need fancy complex tacos

Give me al pastor or carnitas or chorizo

and onion and cilantro

How are you enjoying the WWE game?

Dan Szymborski

1:23

It's much improved over the last one. It's nice that they actually took the missing year to make it not suck

I'd like more randomness and events in WWE Universe

Has the Digital Dandy ever attended the Kentucky Derby?

Dan Szymborski

1:24

I have not. I've been to about a dozen Preaknesses, but never to a Kentucky Derby or a Belmont

Morbo

1:24

Thanks guys. I look forward to discovering ultra-gold and infra-cyan

Fish Taco

1:24

But maybe not if you don't live in a coastal state.

Would you play a video game based on a quest for good chili?

Dan Szymborski

1:24

I think that's more as a sidequest.

dark and stormy

Brett Tomko Trucks

Favorite margarita?

Dan Szymborski

not really into them

A Boy Named Yu

Any video game contacts? I pride myself in creating new and realistic prospects into my games so I don't have to buy the new version each year. Would love to turn my primary hobby into something more.

Dan Szymborski

1:25

I had more a few years ago when I did esports for ESPN

Dan

1:25

OOTP uses you as a starting point? Did they put you in a motion capture suit or was it just video analysis and a stop watch?

Dan Szymborski

1:25

Well, the ZiPS!

Brett Tomko Trucks

1:25

Wasn't there a March Madness EA Sports game at one time?

Dan Szymborski

1:25

There was

I loved the franchise mode

You'd start off on a lower tier school

like Albany

If Eric Hosmer had a contract that ended this past off-season would he even have signed a major league contract? Clearly he would have been worth it but was anyone expecting some amount of bounce back?

Dan Szymborski

1:26

I think he would have gotten a MLB contract, but of the 1/3 variety

Appa Yip Yip

Why do Americans like college sports so much? Aren't they just worse versions of pro sports?

Dan Szymborski

1:27

You can enjoy things without them being the best version. And people go to colleges and have a lot of loyalty

1:27

College baseball and basketball games were discontinued long before the rights issues shelved football. Presumably that means not enough people played them.

Yo-Yo

1:28

Favorite handheld console ever? Switch doesn't count.

Dan Szymborski

1:28

PSP

I have a jailbroken one, so I have all the old emulators on it

So I play old SNES games on it

Brett Tomko Trucks

1:28

Don't you hate every ape you see, from chimpan-a to chimpan-z?

Dan Szymborski

1:28

My sister and I like to sing that together at family holidays

1:29

You'll never make a monkey out of me!

A Boy Named Yu

Jackie Robinson's number and the meaning of life, the question of everything in the world, are the same number. Coincidence?

Dan Szymborski

1:29

Probably?

If your career ended in scandal what would the scandal be?
