A decent podcast that falls a little too short. Dustin and Brad are both pretty well rounded and know a lot. Gene’s pretty great even if he is a bit too obsessed with gooning. Micah is a bit on the weaker side - it’s pretty obvious she only got the job because she’s married to the head of the company. Still needs more Nintendo talk overall. All too often they get sidetracked.
Enjoy listening to the cast, but please stop the marathon length podcasting. Weekly podcasts should rarely (if ever) exceed an hour and a half or so. Way too much bloat in the LSM podcasts. I was glad Punching Up went from biweekly to weekly, but that change should not be accompanied by a significant increase in episode length. Listen to what Colin says—“Less Is More”—and not what he does.
Great show! Love the hosts
One of the hosts spoiled a major part of a game for some. Rather than own it and apologize they spend 10 minutes justifying it with “it was in a trailer” and then proceeding to make it out like those sensitive to spoilers are ridiculous. The kicker is it wasn’t even a game on a Nintendo system. Won’t be returning to this one.
Over 10 minutes in and I’ve already listened to 3 ads and zero Nintendo conversation.
