WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew continues to reap the benefits of this winter's Steam sale with the arrival of a Steam controller while Dan watches the new crowd-funded documentaries by video game journalist/personality, Danny O'Dwyer, called Noclip. Here is O'Dwyer's "statement of purpose" regarding what he wants Noclip to be. STAR WARS GAIDEN: [SPOILER ALERT] With enough time gone by since its release (and now that both have seen it), Dan and Andrew discuss Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and why it's connecting with audiences, what it's doing for the Star Wars universe and how it's really doing what Marvel has been trying to do for almost a decade now. Again, we discuss SPOILERS in this discussion, so steer clear if you have not yet seen the movie (and come back and listen once you do).
