- Loved it long time
I found these guys around episode 60 or 70, back when they were just three silly game devs having a great time together. Don’t listen to the new stuff, go right back to the start and enjoy

United Kingdom5 years ago - Great cast, ad-heavy.
Once a fantastic show. Though it’s still staffed by a great cast or witty, interesting and insightful commentators on the industry, it’s now packed to the brim with Mattress ads and watch ads in painfully lengthy comedy riffs. To this day, at least one game per episode is compared to Dark Souls. I swear, like sarcasm, that never gets old.

Ireland7 years ago - Hands down my favorite
I have been listening to it for about 4 years, and I have at least twice listened to all of them from the beginning. Almost none of the content is out of date since they either make jokes about things or have really interesting discussions about them.
Most of the other podcasts on the idle thumbs network are also really good. Recommended to the max. 10 out of 10 Goldblums
