I love all the reviews that claim a 10 second, easily skippable section of the show “ruins it all”. Screw that, now I want you to scream twice as loud to increase their misery lol.
Great informative and entertaining show. Has a great sense of humor while also conveying multiple people’s thoughts on the game being covered.
Love the screaming keep up the good work!
I swear to God I would actually enjoy this podcast if not for the fact that the host has to screech as loud as humanly possible into the microphone because he thinks it's funny. The retro information is legitimately good, but being obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious is enough for me to lose all interest.
It ruins the show
