  • Welcome & Rare earnest criticism

    The leveling and reverb could use some adjustment, but otherwise this is a great presentation of actual nuanced commentary without mindless fawning access-baby levels of “epic sauce” or pandering hate scam campaigning.

    I really enjoy hearing their perspectives almost as much as I enjoy reading their writing.

    Their “A Gun, Death” Red Dead podcasts on Patreon have been great as well.

  • Great discussion presented indifferently

    I want to like this podcast more than I do. The discussions can be interesting, but the hosts themselves often sound disinterested, ignoring their cohost’s points or sometimes audibly yawning into the mic, and iffy sound quality can make it hard to hear. It’s tough to listen to long conversations when there is no flow, no matter how interesting the people talking are.

  • Doing dishes while recording

    The CoD takes were bad enough...but one of these dudes literally STARTED DOING HIS DISHES DURING THE RECORDING!!!

    Haha if you want to hear about how call of duty is corrupting the youths while pots and pans clang in the background, this pod is for you.

  • Dull and Unfunny

    Slow podcast with no humor. Hosts think they are more profound they they really are. Sound quality isn’t great. Background and white noise get annoying.
