    Peak content from the boys. I’ve busted out laughing numerous times while listening to this podcast. Gets too much hate for problems that could be solved by not taking offense to everything.

  • Half-Assed researchers

    Lore Dump is better. All these guys do is a quick glance at a Wikipedia page without knowing much of the media or topic itself and constantly get details or events wrong while only going very surface level. Side note, they also constantly insult other religions and beliefs, especially Christianity, even if it has nothing to do with the particular topic.

    It’s frustrating and annoying to h... more

  • Great idea poor execution

    I was really excited when I found out this podcast existed. I was looking for a place to just tune out and listen to people passionately explain the bits of lore I miss while playing certain games. There was one host who was trying his best to deliver this and the other two would waver between helping that host do a good job and making the most childish unfunny unserious ignorant comments at an attempt to constantly make jokes. It was so awkward. I think if they didn’t feel the need to sound a c... more
