  • Just Started Listening

    I just started listening and was okay with the first episode I heard. Started listening to a new episode of them talking about 2024 game awards and mannnn. They starting jumping into how capitalism is ruining the game awards. I was caught way off guard from this but kept listening and the whole time they seemed to give off the impression of disliking the game awards and critiqued the ad placements and orchestra at the award show…then will flip and say how much they enjoyed those same things. It ... more

  • Should call it Gamers On Politics

    Political agenda. We tune in to be entertained about video games. Instead we get political garbage and why they’re no longer on X. Nobody cares.

Sadly, Shawn left about 5 years ago. Since then, in an unexpected tu... more

  • One host (Amanda) has ruined podcast

    She was is the worst host in all podcast lamd! Jumped into the podcast today to hear Shawn say Amanda is in charge and has been doing a good job is so wrong! She has ruined GWJ! I have listened to this podcast for over 10 years. I can’t listen to it anymore because one particular newer host (Amanda) is like listening to fingers nails on a chalkboard. I have tried to tune out when this person speaks, but I have decided to just move on. I recently decided to check each episode to see if Amanda is ... more
