  • The Best

    Great podcast. Used to read their reviews in magazines growing up and now listen to their podcast. Just some friends talking about games they enjoy whether they are new or classic. Makes me laugh more than any other podcast. No ads and it’s free. Hope to be listening for a long time to come.

  • P1P WAS chicken soup for my video game soul

    This is my 2nd review, my first was years ago, and it was a 5 star. I still subscribe and listen, but the older the guys get,the less they care and it’s obvious. If they don’t have the time to make a good show,and actually play games to talk about (a frequent problem nowadays)then either get a guest (like they used to) or just stop making it. But they seem hellbent on just keeping it going.If you’re invested in the guys lives at this point (and you may be)then keep going,if you’re looking for pe... more

  • Scared of own shadows

    Radical political ideology. Weak men make bad times. 15 mis talking about a cold. Move on. They just compared a rapist and a pedo to a self made author who has an opinion they don’t agree with. An author who was in a abusive relationship and overcame so much. I doubt they even know what her opinion actually is as they probably just let the internet tell them it is not allowed. Trust the science except when it doesn’t support the one allowed opinion. So much for free speech I guess. Worse than G... more

  • This is podcast of friends hanging out.

    You are going to listen to this podcast because of CJ, Phil and Greg, or you will not like this Podcast because of CJ Phil or Greg.

    This is not some over produced generic podcast just talking about the same video game news you have already heard about. Instead it’s just three friends hanging out talking games (occasionally).

    I love it and have for nearly two decades now.
