  • Yes, it’s worth it

    It’s worth it. I don’t know what else to tell you. Derek and Dan aren’t the best at breaking down the games themselves, but all of the banter totally makes up for it. Especially when they complain about their jobs or things that break in their homes for some reason. Blaine and James doing a great job on the sub-podcast in this feed to with tons of knowledge and insight about old games and new alike.

  • Lovely

    If you want straight forward and structured conversation about classic games, listen to the Retronauts. If you want hilarious banter mixed with some gaming and movie reviews, Derek and Don are your guys. These guys play well off of each other and have great chemistry. Give this podcast a listen! Or don’t, it doesn’t matter... None of this matters.
