- Generally pointless
Even before the digital only news, this podcast is nothing but complaining about Sony/Playstation. Which is fine I guess but they’re generally pretty juvenile and whiny complaints. It’s not like they’re coming in with well thought out complaints. The Besties Podcast had an episode on the digital only news and the issues were much better laid out and argued. The context was much better explained. It’s like the Beyond guys don’t work for IGN and have seemingly know understanding or ability to anal... more

Playing games and not focusing on making a podcast? Nice.

This show would be tolerable if they did something other than complain no stop and curse every breath. It is unlistenable in its current state. IGN has really fallen hard in recent years.

No I’m NOT ready to launch my business on shopify. But take a shot every time someone says “to your point”

I can’t take it anymore, these guys can’t seem to stand any game that didn’t just come out and in a week that too becomes another game that isn’t as good as bloodborne. Seriously the nonstop yapping, complaining, and mentioning of a game over a decade old is ridiculous. I swear most of the cast hasn’t played more games than fingers on their hands and the only person who does (Jada) only ever talks about how good she is at video games and getting platinum trophies. Used to be a great show but the... more
