    Not into mmo‘s anymore. Haven’t been for a couple years. I still listen to Justin and Bree. Just good people who love and want the best for their genre. Honest and aren’t npc apologists for bad product.

  • This gaming news podcast is enjoyable to listen to at any time. It's entertaining to hear about the different mmorpg communities, big or small, updates being done to revitalize games, and other great (or humorously bad) decisions made by developers. Edit: Another tidbit worth mentioning. To hear a duo, who are grown adults with families of their own, still be able to shave time to both play and review games, fills one with pride for reasons that are difficult to explain.

  • Bummer of a Podcast

    I wish I could say I enjoyed this podcast, but I’d be lying. I gave it 7-8 episodes before saying enough is enough. The amount of wrong information and negative takes on games is exhausting. If it’s not Star Wars Galaxies, LOTRO, or City of Heroes…don’t expect these hosts to have anything positive to say. I can only imagine how much misinformation would be in any “articles” these folks would write. Hard Pass if you want quality MMO coverage.
