Canadaa month ago - Headed in the wrong direction
I’ve listened to the various iterations of this podcast since it’s inception, however the current lineup is increasingly dour and seem to have a very high opinion of themselves. I even support the Patreon. The most recent episode on gaming in 2004 featured a 15 minute intro on how their political leaning is better than yours. You can guess which way they lean. Stick to video game history and phase out Mackey, Gipp and the like. Jeremy has similar politics but is able to focus much more on the su... more

United States4 months ago - Terrible show now
It’s amazing how far this show has fallen. I was a listener through the various iterations. The new (British?) hosts are terrible. I wish Jeremy and Bob had their own show, even if it was only a few times a year. If you are jumping into this show now, just avoid it. You are better off going back to listen to the 1up days on archive.org.
Apple Podcasts1EvadeelUnited States4 months ago - Honestly I have no idea what happened to this podcast
This podcast is so frustrating to listen to these days. The latest episode was about Doom Clones….and they spent 90% of the time just talking about Doom itself. There are hundreds of clones but you only mentioned the main ones that was built off of the build engine…but skipped games like Strife, Dark Forces, Disruptor, Chex Quest, etc. more
Apple Podcasts2dwhiltonUnited States5 months ago - Used to be amazing.
Used to be one of my favorite gaming podcasts. Older episodes like the dragon quest one where very involved and made me feel Ike I had an understanding of the game. The new hosts seem to ramble about how great things are, and while I feel their excitement I often walk away from an episode not getting a good idea of what the game like. I listened to the recent Mickey castle of illusion episode and I didn’t really get an idea of the game’s levels, story or mechanics.
