My Top 5 Favorite things of the week in the past have included everything from video games, to food, and everything in between.
Everything posted in the series of Top 5 Favorite posts, is something that has been discovered (or revisited) that I feel is worth sharing with you!
#1 Mega Man 2 Music
Last night after Watch With Dan we played through all of Mega Man 2. While Megaman 2 is an amazing game in itself, the music in the game, even though it’s only 8-bit is better than most of what’s on the radio today. If you don’t believe me just type “Megaman 2 remix” into YouTube and you will see pages upon pages of renditions. Classic.
#2 Comments
When I write blog posts, host Watch With Dan, and create YouTube videos a lot of it is done in isolation by myself. The process of creation is fun but, what I truly enjoy is reading/hearing your reactions and input to everything that is created.
Over the past month, there has been a lot of interaction in the comment sections of everything that has been going on, and I thank you guys for it. It is something I think a lot of content creators across the internet neglect, but often times I’ll find motivation, ideas, criticism, and ways to improve everything, all from your comments. Now if we could just come up with a name for this weekly blog post we’d be all set. 
#3 – Dollar Shave Club
I’m as skeptical as the next guy when it comes to online promotions. But when I saw something pop up for the Dollar Shave Club I decided to give it a try.
I’m big on the idea of having things auto-delivered and not having to worry about them, ever. Not to mention the product, if good, is about 75% less expensive than the razors I currently use. So, I decided to give it a try and bought the $6.00/month version, the 4X razor.
After about a month of using it I’m pretty impressed. Does it perform 100% like a Mach 3 Razor? No. Is it in the 90% range, yes.
The odd thing that I enjoy about this razor is that it ships with 4 blade cartridges every month. I get a weird satisfaction from being able to change the razor every week, where as before with my Mach 3, I would run it down for about 3 weeks because they were so expensive.
The best part about this is that the razors are good and you never have to worry about remembering to buy razors again. It’s definitely worth the money, but I wouldn’t mess with the $1 version as I tried that as well and it is struggle city. I use the middle of the road 4x version, but they do offer an even crazier one with 6 blades if you wanted to try it yourself (affiliate link)!
#4 – Community
About 9 months ago I started live streaming to an audience of around 20 people. Since then the audience has grown significantly, but it’s much more than that.
A community has been formed and it’s a pretty cool thing. Over time as the community has grown through gaming, random pop-ins, and Watch With Dan, it’s been encouraging to see how positive people can be on the Internet.
The Internet is known for its trolls who lurk online with the intent of causing chaos. Standing from the outside, seeing people treat each other with respect and welcome one another in our online community has been a source of pride. If you’ve had any part in building that community, whether you encourage others, promote discussion, or welcome people, thank you. It’s been a favorite of mine for a long time.
#5 – Breaking Bad
Everyone knows I love Dexter, but Breaking Bad is in a very close second. It’s such a smart show, and has created one of the greatest Anti-Heroes in TV history. It comes back this Sunday for the final 8 episodes on AMC.
If you like smart and gritty, this series is for you. Time to catch up.
S.O.S.O.S.O.S – We still haven’t come up with a good name for the favorites…do I need to start bribing people with some sort of a giveaway for a creative name that I am stumped on?
