Edit: My god, Jon needs his own show to talk about his kid and his personal life. You're letting your elementary school child watch Terminator 2? As a teacher, shame on you. You get worse the more you speak so please stop speaking for 90% of the podcast. Can't wait until Scott makes fun of his height again.
Jon is the biggest know-it-all I've ever listened to on a podcast. He also talks so goddamn much I have to skip a significant portion of the podcast so I don't have to listen to his pseudo-i... more
This show was great when it was focused on Heroes of the Storm…maybe that’s because it was a focused thing, so when you started listening, you knew what you were getting into. You came into listen about one thing, and they were going to talk about one thing.
For quite a few years now they have been covering video games as a whole. That’s a broad topic, but the hosts tend to have narrow views and strongly oppose differing ones. The hosts also have the unfortunate tendency to slide in political ... more
Edit 2: Whoever __Tile__ is he sounds like a troll. I wonder if it’s Beau himself, or one of his followers. Maybe this guy should just go watch Beau’s streams if he wants more uninformed, high horse, boomer opinions about games. eEdit: in the most recent podcast Beau whose boomer hands can’t seem to get timing right with slow fingers said about Clair Obscur, “they didn’t think about their game.” This guy rails against corporate AAA games but when it comes to indies he sounds like AAA lover.

Jon is the biggest know-it-all I've ever listened to on a podcast. He also talks so goddamn much I have to skip a significant portion of the podcast so I don't have to listen to his pseudo-intellectual takes and constant self-righteousness about video games. My favorite episodes are the ones he misses so I hope we get more of those.
This show would be five stars without Jon. Maybe it's spelled John but I didn't care enough to look.
Also, if a Disney adult says you have good taste that isn't a... more
Edit: in the most recent podcast Beau whose boomer hands can’t seem to get timing right with slow fingers said about Clair Obscur, “they didn’t think about their game.” This guy rails against corporate AAA games but when it comes to indies he sounds like AAA lover. Seriously, the show would be so much better without him. He’s a dude who acts like a know it all, and it’s lame.

Long time listener, but when Beau gets on a subject he repeats himself and interrupts the other hosts. It’s annoy... more

A lively roundtable of three long-running hosts discusses video games, industry trends, and the culture surrounding gaming each week. Episodes blend hands-on impressions, open-world and RPG design debates, hardware and platform discussions, and occasional guest segments from developers, actors, and industry veterans. The trio often dives into current events, marketing moves, and the business side of games, all delivered with humor, personal anecdotes, and a penchant for strong opinions. A standout is the show's willingness to tackle contentious topics (exclusivity, AI in games, studio strategy) while keeping a conversational, community-driven vibe that appeals to dedicated gamers and industry watchers alike.
