  • Good content let down by awkward commercial cuts

    It’s a good show. I like the content and the hosts. I get that commercials are a thing and I’m not complaining that they exist. Just that in this podcast they can start anywhere, including the middle of a sentence. One time you said “let’s check out this sonic game” and it cut to a sonic detective podcast commercial which was extra confusing. If you guys can tighten up the commercial transitions I would have no hesitations giving 5 stars.

  • It’s good, but…

    …the content is great, and the hosts are knowledgeable, but episodes tend to go on for a little too long. Also, Triforce needs to calm TF down. My ears can only take so much.

Q: If you could pick any game to get a demake, what would it be and what retro system would you want it on?
