Reviews

3.8 out of 5 stars from 4 ratings
  • Insufferable

    Tuned in to listen to the recent episode and couldn’t make it through 15 minutes. Host is just whiny and negative when the world is already filled with that. Pass.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SAROS - Rahul Kohli Interview!
Q: Were you given any inside track on ambiguities in the story, or did you have to improvise around elements left open for interpretation?
He describes how most story details were not provided in a single document and that ambiguity was intentional; the team relied on the script, VO, and in-game texts to build a narrative shape, leaving room for audience interpretation and discussion.
SAROS - Rahul Kohli Interview!
Q: What was preparation like for Saros compared with your work on Midnight Mass?
Rahul explains that the focus for Saros was rooted in gameplay and voice sessions rather than a traditional TV prep, with a need to balance a grounded performance for Arjun with the archetypal, action-heavy nature of the game. He highlights the collaboration with Housemarque and the iterative process of mocap, VO, and direct feedback to shape the character without losing the energy of the gameplay.
Arc Raiders Cheats, Fable in 2026, The Division 3 | Gaming News Today
Q: Is it wrong to use a flaw in the code to loot and not kill users?
Generally, exploits are frowned upon, but their seriousness varies by context; some are treated leniently while others may warrant bans.
GTA 6 Price, Microslop & Splitgate 2’s Shaky Return | Gaming News Today
Q: Why did Splitgate 2 perform poorly at launch?
Splitgate 2 struggled because it misdiagnosed the reasons for its predecessor's drop in player interest and tried to create derivative content instead of focusing on what made the first game popular.
GTA 6 Price, Microslop & Splitgate 2’s Shaky Return | Gaming News Today
Q: What are your predictions for GTA 6's price?
Many speculate that the base price will be around $80, with possible deluxe editions at $100 or higher, depending on additional content.
