United States12 days ago - The GOAT
Gaming podcasts can tend to be really cringey at times or just bad. Game Scoop! has been a consistently informative and fun podcast for YEARS. The host is a pro, and the panel is always so well informed and passionate about games. Damian and crew, thank you for the years of entertainment, and for the years ahead. Scoop!

Some recurring segments, particularly the ”browse through an old magazine” thing they do, are... more

Swedena month ago - Check… check… audio lost?
It’s a usually a great listen, but the editing is so lazy. I shouldn’t have to listen to the team trying to fix someone’s audio for two minutes because Damon can’t be bothered to edit his show. Also, why can’t a huge company like IGN get working equipment? It happens way too often
