- Guest/New Panel are terrible
Would be so much better if they stuck to video games and left their alienating political opinions out of it. Some of these people need to touch grass and stop being terminally online.

United States2 months ago - Was better long ago
IGN as a company has turned into a bunch of woke activists now pushing an agenda through entertainment. They will eventually fade into obscurity because of making video games into a political/ideological propaganda instead of serving their clients (people who want a break from all the garbage and just want to play fun games) the addition of tons of ads is now the final straw, good bye IGN.
Update: an IGN author just posted that they will lower the scores of game reviews if the game does not refl... more
Apple Podcasts1KconnaughtyUnited States2 months ago - Ryan makes this show!
Love the honest and energetic feel of the show, Ryan has that way of keeping this polished but still friendly and full of news, look for to the show. Keep the Xbox updates coming!
Apple Podcasts5DoctorCatanUnited States2 months ago - Podcast Unfollow
Long time listener to the show, having been here since the very first episode that Ryan produced back in 2012. I have loved the show and made sure I would listen each week for years eager for it with long drives to and from work.
The production and quality of this show has taken a dive that I no longer want to be apart of as the shift over the years has transitioned from Podcast to Video. Often the casts references that you should go look at the video instead of listening to the show but I’m... more
Apple Podcasts1NorwigeUnited States3 months ago - Michael Higham Weeks are an easy skip
Definitely miss the days of Ryan, Miranda, Destin, and Stella. And Alanah before that!
The new guy, Michael Higham just always sounds like he is stoned when he’s talking. And on weeks Ryan is out and he hosts, it is a DRAG. His constant “that’s what’s up,” “we cooked,” “I’m young” just adds to the annoyance unfortunately. I enjoy the podcast and news each week but when he hosts, I’d rather spend my time listening to something else or someone that doesn’t talk like they just smoked a huge joint.
