[DON'T SHARE YET] YOUTUBE LINK:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8lGLZhbPgY

Hey folks,

As I mentioned in yesterday's update, anyone who supports my work at $5 or more will now get to watch episodes of my new show 24 hours before they go public.

So here it is! The inaugural episode of Danny's Disk Club all about Climbing.

In this episode I look back at the history of climbing in games and examine how Breath of the Wild uses vertical world design to reward our thirst for exploration. The video also features analysis of Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed and of course a cameo from Marc Eckō's Getting Up.

Enjoy the show, and let me know what you think.

[Just don't share it until tomorrow morning]

I think you made a fairly important typo in this post Danny! :)

Ben Ward

Great stuff, never really thought about that in BOTW! Just gotta wait 18 more episodes for that sweet assassins creed battlegrounds hot take!

/noclip

Agh, I can't see it! Where?

/noclip

If Yves Guillemot announced that game at E3 2018 I'll start gambling again.

Ben Ward

Well he denied that BGE2 was coming this year, so who knows WHAT to believe?! ;)

Scott Shawcroft

Loved it Danny! Is it meant to be on your personal YouTube channel rather than noclip's?

Turkey Gobbler

Danny, the typo is here, "As I mentioned in yesterday's update, anyone who supports my work at $5 or more will not get to watch"

B&L

In the first para I am guessing it should be 'now' and not 'not'.

B&L

Fantastic episode though. Really enjoyed it, glad to have this sort of coverage coming from you once more!

/noclip

hahaha. What a weirdly antagonistic post. It was meant to be "now". Edited :)

Turkey Gobbler

Looking forward to watching this later today :)

Chris S

Nice work, Danny! And I'm all for more cameos from Marc Ecko's Getting Up

Tory Thompson

Awesome work, I really did miss this format. Danny you are the best!

/noclip

Yea, keeping this stuff separate as I want to keep the Noclip channel to docs only. My own YouTube channel will be more curated from now on too. Thanks!

James Huffman

fuck i'm so happy this is back. also, love the silliness littered throughout the video.

Wesley Bray

Hey Danny - sorry to be a dick if this has been answered elsewhere or isn't relevant given your vision for the show, but just wondered if this will be available as a podcast?

Piotr Kostecki

Love it! This is something I hoped you will do someday and poof! Here it is :D

Gabriel Costa (Hired Sword)

Really well done Danny, enjoyed it quite a bit. I loved Breath of The Wild it really felt like a breath of fresh air and a Studio Ghibli movie brought to life. Hopefully my question I asked on the Q&A post makes it to your next Q&A video, any idea how far out that video is?

Ben Griffin

I didn't realise how much I missed this stuff until now. Great work, and erudite as ever. Referencing both Skinner boxes and Mark Ecko is definitely what I signed up for.

MollyMog

High quality video, sir. Thought-provoking, interesting content and well edited. Kudos and thanks for your hard work. It shines through. Happy new Patron.

Andy Welsh

I'm sick of all this praise for AssCreed: Battlegrounds. Everyone knows Assassins Creed 19: War for Cybertron was the series peak

/noclip

No, it sort of wouldn't work as a podcast with the way I reference visuals all the time. But we'll have more stuff going up on Noclip Pirate Radio in the next few weeks.

Justin Dotson

Woo I love it when you do these type of videos. The music is always on point and puts me in the right mood.

Steven Oslund

This is fantastic! Can't wait for more ❤️

Dan Vogt

Bloody lovely. Gosh - poor kids today won't know wtf all these disks are about... haha!

Wesley Bray

Thanks for responding man. No problem, we'll just have to add this to the NoClip Viewings we do at work rather than listening to you on my drive.

Tohir Tillyaev

Man, I didn't realize how much I missed these opinion pieces....it was awesome! Loved and still love the name. PS Intro was hilarious...

Dan Longman

Good job, truly enjoyed this. Thanks Danny!

Dom Greves

Nice one sir! Thought we were about to get an expert lesson in horizontal climbing at the start.

Dom Greves

P.S. When can we expect the next one? :-)

Josh Carrero

That was great Danny! I adore the climbing in Breath of the Wild. I really need to get back into it. I stopped to play Persona 5 and now that I'm done I'm free to explore Hyrule again.

Josh Carrero

BTW, loved the episode, love the show, and love the name. Keep it up Danny!

djKENTO

This is great! I really can't wait for more. Keep up the good work Danny, but remember not to stretch yourself too thin! Stay healthy and sane. You do a LOT of work.

Steven Pick

Lovely stuff. Good to remember that the original Assassin's Creed was undiluted and unsullied with its climbing mechanic before all those pesky sequels. And Zelda? Man, oh, man. Such an experience of climb!
