Dopecast Episode 11 - Speedrunning Surgery

Eliaden joined us for this episode. In this episode we discuss the recent terrorist attacks in Europe, if they should make us feel scared and what will happen next. We also get into a discussion about gun control and gun culture, especially in the US. We talk about the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker trial, the results of it and how it will affect the Gawker network going forward. We also talk about how hypocritical it is for Gawker to publish the sex tape while condemning the events of The Fappening. On a lighter note, Eliaden and Dopefish tells the story of a recent game of Shadowrun, which they've recently gotten into playing. We also talk a bit about Cyberpunk in general, and what we like about it. We also talk about Dark Souls 3, our hopes and expectations, but also the complete mess the release of it has been. We end up talking about Dark Souls 1 a lot as well, why we like it, who our favourite and least favourite bosses are and so on. And finally, we talk about Romania and Romanian stereotypes. Eliaden tells us the history of his country, and we ruthlessly mock him. He tells us the story of transfagarasan, we talk about the traditions of orthodox christianity and much much more.

Flippin, being a second generation immigrant, tells us about his experiences of growing up as an "outsider" in "White America" and how he joined the military.
