  • Half Decent

    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.

  • Podcast Length Creeping Up

    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.

  • Apparently spoilers don’t matter

    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.

Q: What do you think is going to be the big Nintendo game this year?
I'm guessing we're due for a 3D Mario game, yes, but I could also see new Mario Kart World DLC since people were not happy with the product last year.
