- if you like video games you gotta listen
These guys are great. You can really hear their love of video games come across. They really hold up the medium as an art form. And their overall show format where they make cocktails that go with the games is really fun! Love it!

United States5 years ago - My new favorite podcast
A fantastic blend of mainstream and indie game reviews, gamer discussion and videogame tropes... With just a little liquor mixed in.
Apple Podcasts5JonnyDuckerUnited States10 years ago - Great show
This is a great show, very enjoyable to listen too and it is entertaining as the hosts keep it light and interesting.
Apple Podcasts5Soccer5537United States12 years ago - Entertaining!
This podcast is the perfect blend of my favorite games and honest opinions. The back and forth rapport amongst the hosts and guests is absolutely entertaining, making the show simultaneously hilarious and thought-provoking. These games are pulled apart, thrown to the wolves, and then forced to face their inadequacies or triumphs, solely through the gamers' eyes. I'm looking forward to the future episodes. Keep up the great work boys! :)
Apple Podcasts5TBrooks4United States13 years ago - Love the show, drink along with them!
Warning- you will need a well stocked bar and an iron stomach to keep up with these guys. I especially love the retro games section. a refreshing change from the "corporate" shows out there.
