Geek Week! Player 2 Gaming Interview with Ivan Van Norman - Part 1
70Youtube Geek Week is in full swing, which makes this the perfect time to debut the new segment: Player 2!
Player 2 combines your standard interview show with your standard gameplay session into anything BUT standard. Have you ever thought an interview went on for too long? Or that a gaming session was too quiet? Combining their powers leads to a surprisingly great way to get to know a new friend.
Today we're playing The Simpsons Arcade (based on the classic cabinet game) and talking to Ivan Van Norman (@Hydra_Lord). You may have seen Ivan on the first season of King of the Nerds on TBS where he was known by such nicknames as 'Chicken-Panda' or The Alpha Nerd. He lived the high life poppin' bottles of mana, and was one of the fan favorites. Ivan is also the Creator of Outbreak: Undead, an ongoing pen-and-paper (or, book-and-dice) RPG and a huge promoter of tabletop gaming.
...luckily for us, he loves video games too.
What's Ivan been up to? Why is tabletop gaming so important and why should it be spread to new people? What does it mean to come into your own and embrace who you are as The Alpha Nerd? What was King of the Nerds like to be a part of, and was he apprehensive? We answer some of these questions right now in Part 1 of Nerd Alert's Player 2 session with Ivan Van Norman!
