Canadaa month ago - Hit them with the dots… 🤣
…. Not! Chris and Eric are hilarious without being obnoxious. Their humor is intelligent and grounded in ultra-gamer-nerd stuff that elder millennials like myself really appreciate! I think this might be my first podcast I’m considering becoming a patron of! Hope they do an SMT game soon! Would love to hear their thoughts on Digital Devil Saga or SMTIII Nocturne! Game on!
