I'm only 7 minutes into this hour-long video and if ANYTHING said after this point is more hilarious than our humble Dan being referred to as "Rizz-Dan" then this is gonna be such a good video.
6:30: Diligent Dan 24:30: I've always wondered how game devs would try to cultivate that kind of attitude in their community. Seems important, but there are plenty of games which either catastrophically failed or never even tried. 42:10: I was hoping that "Rival Presence" meant you'd be pitted against another multiplayer team of some kind...until Dan suggested something better. Rubble and slate! 59:00: As much as the boss likes to insist that we're all dwarves in this together, there's still a divide between the proletariat and the bourgeoise. We're _not_ all dwarves in this together-some of us are dwarves who sit back at HQ, barking orders and sipping _cider_ or something. Like an elf. 3:25: It's nice to see D. Floyd's absolute confidence in his fellow Dans. Possibly unwarranted, but still nice. 6:10: D. Evans has glasses; I assume that makes him the Smart Dan. 11:45: If Dwarf Fortress taught me anything, it's that enthusiasm is a key trait of dwarven culture. Also magma. 17:25: Setting yourself on fire? Good! Being set on fire _by someone else?_ Not fun. 27:50-28:05: ...yeah, D. Evans is Smart Dan by process of elimination. 39:00-20: The important thing is that you learn from your mistakes. Even silly, intentional ones. 55:00: I could also kill some crepes. There used to be a restaurant around here which made, like, meal crepes with meat and cheese and stuff. Shame that it never recovered from that fire. 1:04:20-35: Don't be silly. If it was Uber Drop-pod, then Uber wouldn't own the pod at all. If it gets wrecked on its way out, that's their -employee's- independent contractor's problem.
The poor HQ dwarf, you have any idea how much paperwork he has to do for every incident one of the crews cause? The guy used to be one of the top mercs until he got promoted, now he's a slave to a pen.
I like the fannidwa that Mission Control is a former miner who lived long enough to retire or got injured and had to be "promoted". There's a couple lines during the seasonal assignments where the emotion comes through, he really does care about his teams. But there's only so much he can do, being hamstrung by the system and Management. It's a charitable read, but I also think that bright spotakes the DRG setting even more dystopic and I like that.
_Team Fortress 2_ did a pretty good job cultivating a friendly community (by late-2000s standards, at least) by just having a fun, lighthearted tone. Then they ruined it by leaning too hard into the hardcore competitive scene. (Note to game devs: STOP DOING THAT.)
Oh, there's quite a bit more then that. The dwarves are an entire race of mercinary folks, the strongest, the deadliest, and the only ones to ever survive a contract on Hoxxes. The greenest greenbeard is still the best of the best.
Triple Dans! All my wishes come true! 22:07 I played the heck of Descent! That game was prime LAN party material! Tinkering with the network was half the fun! 22:45 what kind of SU gem would Morkite be?
Also, i played Decent 2 a ton as a kid, its fun chaotic fun. Did get my hands on Decent too, but the one i played a ton was 2. Can still instantly hear the main menu music if i think back on it.
I played Descent and Descent II back in the day! Fun, but incredibly disorienting. But then they slapped the Descent name onto an open-space shooter named Freespace, and I loved that game way more. (I was also big into the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games.)
Yeah, I played Descent a bit but I could never get the hang of it. AND I am subscribed to Dan Jones over at twitch. It's a subscription gifted by a generous soul, but it qualifies: I am subscribed to Dan Jones, and I played Descent.
Proud to say I also played Descent back in the day. It was one of my first PC gaming experiences. Absolutely disorienting but fun once you figured it out.
I have played Decent! The best game for following your friends for a minute then finally letting them know you were there with the "Look out behiiind youuu..." key. :)
It's been so long since Dan or Dan played, and Dan of course is new, so they are seeing stuff and just loving it for the first time. This is so good, and wholesome.
I played Descent decades ago. I think I have the trilogy in my GOG library. Until reading this comment section, I'd never heard of a game called Decent. I'd still like to see a multi-Dan (Carrie optional) Terraria - a bit like Minecraft, but side-on 2D, making it much easier for spectators to follow.
So nice to see y'all playing this! My fiancé and I play this (among other co-op games) together, and it's THE most fun. Even with just the two of us. Hope to see y'all do more of this!
22:19 The name rings a bell somewhere in my memory, but I never played it. One thing that kind of bothers me that the rotary gun gets more accurate as the barrels heat up...
a small bit of fun trivia for the terrain scanner. it is called the mk.3 as during the beta days the map system went through 2 redesigns. and with each change they changed the number.
I am part of Dan Floyd's demographic who has played Descent. One of my favorite game series of all time. Now eagerly awaiting Ships That Fight Underground.
I'd love it if the next session started with all of the Dans playing the multiplayer for Descent. just as a goof. (I did play my cousin's copy of Descent back in the 90's for about 15 minutes. good times.)
The game is Danish and the most common form of honey in Denmark is acacia honey and it flows. It's viscous, but absolutely liquid. It comes in squeeze bottles.
I adore this game and getting to watch you three nutbags finally play it was a true treat. My face hurts cause for the first second I was all smiles. I hope this pops up up again, maybe in a stream. ROCK AND STONE, YOU BE-YOOOOO-TIFUL DANS!!!!!
to my friends i've been saying floyd: dan prime (because that's usually the dan i'm talking about, and it's harder to pick a descriptor and that was the best i could think of) jones: artist dan emmons: desiger dan
I would guess that a goodly number of PlayFrame viewers are also following Errant Signal, and so are aware of _Descent_ through his "Children of Doom" series.
The DRG Classes in a nutshell: Gunner: TF2 Heavy/Soldier with a rope guided chair lift. Scout: Professional mountain goat and revive farm for the rest of team. I'd mention the flare gun but that would require scouts using it. Engineer: TF2 Engie with mandatory Oppenheimer overclock. You can tell how chaotic an engie is by whether the grenade launcher has high velocity and prox detonation equipped. Driller: WAR CRIMES. The natural predator of the scout.
When i used to play a lot of this with my friends, i came up with a game where someone shouts "dice!" Once the last person gets in the drip pod. Everyone has to get as many dice whacks before the pod leaves, but if you don't get into a seat before the pod leaves, you lose your score
Watching green beards at work is both frustrating and incredibly cute. Rock and stone you beautiful dwarves. And develop some reflexes, and use your sidearm, and use the laser pointer, and ….
ROCK AND STONE!!! Been enjoying watching Jones and Emmonds play this, loved seeing Floyd join them as well. Especially glad to see this on the Playframe side now as well. I’d love to see this as a weekly/biweekly/whenever you three can make it happen thing. This is a perfect background game to have y’all just podcast over.
If you don't rock and stone, you ain't comin' home! Also, never played descent, but I have watched the video Errant Signal did on it as part of his "Children of Doom" series.
As a long time DRG player, it's hilarious that Dan starts talking about special minerals RIGHT AS the team is walking past a gold nugget in the wall and none of them grab it or even notice it at all XD.
Emmons, if it's any solace to you, I have heard of Descent and may have at least played a demo of it once. It's been well-established canonically that Dan Floyd is the Leonardo and Dan Jones the Michelangelo of the group. Emmons seems a natural fit as Donatello. So who does that leave as Raphael? It could only be Lee Lee.
I've played Descent, but I was young enough to be really bad at it. I am not sure I ever beat the first level. My older brother on the other hand was pretty good at it. Playing it I always got turned around, but when I watched my brother play, I managed to keep track of where he was for some reason.
I recently replayed Descent and Descent 2, and I'm happy to report that the games hold up. They're certainly not perfect, but still very enjoyable to play.

ROCK AND STONE!
Rock and stone and rock rolling stone everywhere!
Rock and stone!
Floyd is very clearly the band's FrontDan.
I'm only 7 minutes into this hour-long video and if ANYTHING said after this point is more hilarious than our humble Dan being referred to as "Rizz-Dan" then this is gonna be such a good video.
"what Dan am I?" Lol
Existential crisis Dan.
tbh I was also thinking Charismatic Dan or Host Dan.
I really enjoyed this video! I'd love to see any Dans playing more of this sometime.
The Dan’s are back in town ~
(To the tune of “the boys are back in town”)
Let’s hear it for the Dans ~
(To the tune of "Let’s hear it for the boy")
I legit thought Emmons was going to start singing that at the beginning.
Woo, love the Rock and Stone with Dan's

FOR ROCK AND STONE!!!
Did I hear a rock and stone?!
Rock and Stone! 🪨⛏️
Rock and Stone in the Heart!
IF YOU DONT ROCK AND STONE AND DAN YOU AINT COMING HOME!!!
6:08 "What Dan am I?" Exploring their group Dan-namic. XD
Triple Dans! All my wishes come true!
22:07 I played the heck of Descent! That game was prime LAN party material! Tinkering with the network was half the fun!
22:45 what kind of SU gem would Morkite be?
ROCK AND STONE!!! I'm soooo happy you guys are checking out the best co-op shooter on Earth.
But they're in space. 😅
@@bananasean5145 But they're in space???
on Hoxxes* 😂
Would definitely be down for more Dan Rock Galactic
Also, i played Decent 2 a ton as a kid, its fun chaotic fun.
Did get my hands on Decent too, but the one i played a ton was 2.
Can still instantly hear the main menu music if i think back on it.
6:38 Carrie's Man (tic) Dan

Sublevel Zero is a pretty good Roguelite (I think) spiritual successor to Descent imo. In case you were looking for a more modern version :D
Proud to say I also played Descent back in the day. It was one of my first PC gaming experiences. Absolutely disorienting but fun once you figured it out.
If you're looking for a modern version of Descent, then Overload is definitely the game you want.
X-Wing/TIE Fighter had the best piece of music in all of Star Wars canon.
I let out an audible gasp when I saw this in my feed. ROCK AND STONE, EVERYONE!
I have played Decent! The best game for following your friends for a minute then finally letting them know you were there with the "Look out behiiind youuu..." key. :)
I would be so down with more Rock and stone with Dans regularly
Dr. McNinja agrees. Setting yourself on fire is a great strat. You can't catch anyone who is on fire.
It's been so long since Dan or Dan played, and Dan of course is new, so they are seeing stuff and just loving it for the first time. This is so good, and wholesome.
The miner's manual has a section that explains all the anomalies. You can also click on them on the map to take you to that screen
Love this game. I'd be super down to see it become a regular series
adding to the "I have played Descent" demographic, I even played it on a mid 90s VR headset "VFX1" for a bit
On a scale of Virtual Boy to Oculus Rift, how was it?
I played Descent decades ago. I think I have the trilogy in my GOG library.

Danger. Darkness. Dans.
IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE, YOU AIN'T GOIN HOME
22:19 The name rings a bell somewhere in my memory, but I never played it.

Yes, I grew up with Descent. It was one of my favorites between ages like 8 and 12.
22:00 ME! I played it a ton when a teen back in the mid 90s
Rock and Stone! It never gets old
I am part of Dan Floyd's demographic who has played Descent. One of my favorite game series of all time. Now eagerly awaiting Ships That Fight Underground.
Dan Rock Galactic
just started watching, wanted to say I really like the thumbnail art for this one!
Jones: Strength
Floyd: Wisdom/Charisma
Emmons: Intelligence
I played so much Descent as a kid. XD Loved it!
I'd love it if the next session started with all of the Dans playing the multiplayer for Descent. just as a goof. (I did play my cousin's copy of Descent back in the 90's for about 15 minutes. good times.)
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!
*plays sick guitar riff*
I have come back to watch this a third time. Rock and Stone!
I have indeed played Descent. Thanks for making me feel old.
Love the chuckle as soon as one of the dwarf's said "Gotta go fast."
This is good fun.
The game is Danish and the most common form of honey in Denmark is acacia honey and it flows. It's viscous, but absolutely liquid. It comes in squeeze bottles.
1:01:28 When you run out of flares, illuminate the place with gaslight
I have played Descent, and that was my exact thought before Dan mentioned it: The map is very Descent!
I adore this game and getting to watch you three nutbags finally play it was a true treat. My face hurts cause for the first second I was all smiles. I hope this pops up up again, maybe in a stream. ROCK AND STONE, YOU BE-YOOOOO-TIFUL DANS!!!!!
ROCK AND STONE brothers!
to my friends i've been saying
floyd: dan prime (because that's usually the dan i'm talking about, and it's harder to pick a descriptor and that was the best i could think of)
jones: artist dan
emmons: desiger dan
Rock AND STONE, or you ain't coming home.
I would guess that a goodly number of PlayFrame viewers are also following Errant Signal, and so are aware of _Descent_ through his "Children of Doom" series.
Oh hey, that's me!
I'm probably not alone, though.
I can say that I have played, enjoyed, and completed Descent 1 2 & 3. For I am in my forties and thus an older gamer.
Here from the vermintide video to say I'd love to watch more deep rock galactice or vermintide with the three Dans!
Rock and Stone!
Whenever it's all three Dan's you need to play that parody of the Game Grumps theme where it says "hey I'm Dan, I'm also Dan. Daaaan"
The lack of throwing glowsticks is weird.
It was Dark Rock Danlactic this time

Oh my gosh i could not have asked for a better Saturday present. I love DRG so much.
MUSHROOM!
Kinda cramped, because there's not mushroom.
I, for one, would like to step forward and say that I have, indeed, played Descent back in the 90's.
I love everything about this. DRG is one of my favorite games. Rock and Stone!
This was awesome! Great video, thanks Dans!
This episode is how I found out I'm the statistical anomaly in viewership :v Also, I propose we rename Charismatic Dan to Razzle Dan.
Oh man, I haven't thought about Descent in ages!
Watching green beards at work is both frustrating and incredibly cute. Rock and stone you beautiful dwarves.
And develop some reflexes, and use your sidearm, and use the laser pointer, and ….
DRG becoming a channel staple? I'm here for it
Fun, I was just thinking about Dans vs. the World yesterday :)
ah good timing. I've just gotten obsessed with this game in the past week or so.
WHOOO DANS!
we got,
DanFloydPlus

and
The_demons, which I feel should be Danemons cuz that sounds funnier.
ROCK AND STONE!!!

Especially glad to see this on the Playframe side now as well. I’d love to see this as a weekly/biweekly/whenever you three can make it happen thing. This is a perfect background game to have y’all just podcast over.
The need for stone with rock was a key component to the success of The Rolling Stones.
For whatever reason, this loosely reminds me of LEGO Rock Raiders, of which I was a fan.
ROCK AND STONE, EVERYONE!
If you don't rock and stone, you ain't comin' home!
Also, never played descent, but I have watched the video Errant Signal did on it as part of his "Children of Doom" series.

24:10 - "There's a bunch of mushrooms"
Literally every DRG player (while spamming CTRL and LMB): MUSHROOM MUSHROOM MUSHROOM *MUSHROOM!*
Oh goodness!! I've been hoping for this for so long! Rock and stone!! 🎉
I've played Descent! Though I put more time into Descent 2. Yes, I am a fellow old.
My friends and I returned to DRG after about a year and a half break, and are delighted by how much new material has been added for free.
Now, seeing this I would love to see three Dams versus Remnant from the Ashes and Remnant 2
This isn't gonna be a grand time
This is gonna be a dand time
I've played Descent! Take THAT statistics!
Emmons, if it's any solace to you, I have heard of Descent and may have at least played a demo of it once.
It's been well-established canonically that Dan Floyd is the Leonardo and Dan Jones the Michelangelo of the group. Emmons seems a natural fit as Donatello.
So who does that leave as Raphael? It could only be Lee Lee.
Dan Prime(A.K.A. Rizz Dan), Gamer Dan and Smart Dan decide that they want to dig a hole, diggy diggy hole, they're digging a hole!
I've played Descent, but I was young enough to be really bad at it. I am not sure I ever beat the first level. My older brother on the other hand was pretty good at it.
Playing it I always got turned around, but when I watched my brother play, I managed to keep track of where he was for some reason.
Just to add to the statistics. I definitely played a bunch of Descent 1 and 2 back in the day.
Let the Danpocalypse Begin ....
I was unaware that rock and stone were different things!
ROCK AND STONE! I love this game, i streamed this all the time with my cousin and college buddies.
Hurt a little to watch them just waltz right by a golden nugget in the wall.
I recently replayed Descent and Descent 2, and I'm happy to report that the games hold up. They're certainly not perfect, but still very enjoyable to play.
How to scare experienced DRG players:
- Choose an escort mission with shield disruption and haunted cave modifiers.
Dan and Dan, to the Dan!
Hehehe, let's Rock and Stone!
I've played Descent! I loved it!
29:36 I mean that's kinda just Exoprimal.
