Joe Rogan has a lot of hobbies. For a guy who records several multi-hour podcasts a week, performs as a stand-up comedian nearly every night, and commentates UFC events on a near bi-weekly basis, it's an achievement in and of itself that he has any time outside of his professional schedule.

Whether it's running, yoga, BJJ, psychedelics, hunting, or indeed gaming, it's hard to blame Rogan for not being able to stay up to date on every development in the world of gaming.

This podcast shows that despite being a borderline fanatic for the Quake series back in the 90s, Rogan isn't really attuned to the modern gaming meta, and often assumes much of his audience wouldn't be either.

At one point in the discussion, Rogan asks Martin to clarify what melee combat is, ostensibly for the benefit of the audience who likely already know.

This out-of-the-loop mentality rears its head again several times throughout the episode, particularly towards the end when Joe asks what DLC is, asking Martin if anyone would even know what they were talking about regarding the initialism.
