United States2 months ago - A PlayStation podcast by two people that hate PlayStation
The weakest of the IGN shows, these guys just don’t PLAY PlayStation, don’t like any game that came out after Bloodbourne and will only lust over From games or games from their past. Just move on and find a show that actually likes the console they cover.
