  • No more meat talk

    It’s a good podcast but I really don’t need to hear you guys go on about eating dead animals all the time or joking about kicking chickens. I understand you’re trying to show some personality but it’s really quite tiresome.

    Still doing this nonsense… yawn

  • Like, like, like

    The like modern trend of saying ‘like’ every 5 seconds is taken to a like whole new level on this podcast. Have had to like unsubscribed as it’s like so overpowering. Content is like really good apart from that.

  • Use to be good

    I use to love this podcast.. and I doubt the people that run it will read reviews but here goes.. bring back endless search and some of the older hosts if possible from 2-3 years ago. The podcast was great but the only one bearable now is cardy … shame as I’m holding on but think I’ll stop listening soon

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IGN UK Podcast 841: Crimson Desert is Finally Here
Q: How does the open world feel in practice compared to other big titles?
It feels immersive and alive in its own way, more like a diorama with living atmosphere than a strictly reactive environment, which can be compelling but lacks the tight storytelling focus some players want.
IGN UK Podcast 841: Crimson Desert is Finally Here
Q: What's your overall impression of Crimson Desert so far?
The panel finds it fascinating and ambitious, with a unique combat system and living world, but notes issues with pacing and storytelling that can make it feel disjointed and challenges to get into a long-term rhythm.
IGN UK Podcast 833: Fairy Tale Arm Pits
Q: Have any of you had a video game goal and did you achieve it?
Not setting big goals lately, focusing more on knowledge buildup within games.
IGN UK Podcast 833: Fairy Tale Arm Pits
