  • Bad

    These two are the type of “critics” that think hating on anything big and/or popular will make them seems smarter than everyone else, when it just does the opposite.

  • They hate most games

    If you’re looking for a bummer of a podcast where the hosts talk mostly about games they don’t like, then this is the pod for you. I find the contrarian stink these two give off too much. They both clearly enjoy the feeling of superiority they get from hating things ppl like
