This is a podcast that's nominally about bad games. In reality, every Monday, Gary Butterfield and Kaye Ross choose a game at random from the titles submitted by listeners, play it, and venture off on a freeform discussion that winds between the topic at hand and some dumb nonsense.

  • Where’s the content?

    Tried an episode and it spent just a few minutes on the episode topic and the rest of the episode talking about old reviews of OTHER games. Complete waste of time.
