I barley play video games anymore, but listening to these dudes solves that problem. Just, a killer show!!!
Big fan of the podcast. I’ve listened to almost every episode in a matter of a few weeks. Love the format of the show. I’m a huge Super Nintendo fan and collector, so of course I’d love to see more reviews of those games. Keep up the good work on entertaining us retro nerds!!!
I love this podcast! It is mostly about retrogaming stuff and always has great discussion point and a fun review of a game at the end. The guys have a great time and you can tell they are really into the stuff they are covering!
