On Episode 100, we welcome Dan Amrich to the show. Dan is currently the Community Developer for Rocksmith but not too long ago, he was known as One of Swords to many. As Activision's Community Manager, Dan ran the popular 1oS podcast, which served as our inspiration to start podcasting in 2013. We thank Dan for his inspiration and for taking the time out of his weekend to be part of episode 100. While we will always be in debt to Dan for being the bridge to many friendships, you guys can blame him for two years and counting of Gamers In Beta.
