- I hate Pokémon and all Pokémon derivatives
I know what I would use my time travel powers for; I’d go back and make sure to eradicate Pokémon before it ever evolved into the unavoidable cultural monolith it is today. Monster sanctuary is cool though it can stay.

United Statesa year ago - Amazing Show!!
I gave this almost a good 2 dozen episodes (all over from #30 - #180) before I came here to write this review. It's an AMAZING show! My app tells me I've listened to almost 2 full days of Mike & Phil talk about many of the amazing games from my childhood (Phil often talks 80s games) and from earlier this millenium. Great taking me through the games and then the best part: the roundtable which is the 2nd half of each show. If you enjoy RPGs, you'll enjoy this. Love the sound effects and effo... more
Apple Podcasts5plattym3United States8 years ago - The best RPG retrospective on the net
When most gamers talk about RPGs they reminisce and talk in hyperbole of impeccably realised worlds and stories, and fully dynamic systems. These RPG gamers have played a lot, and like to get real about them. Passionate, friendly, whacky, knowledgable, and actually critical. That's RPG Backtrack, the best game podcast ever.
PLUS charming skits and a masterful selection of musical soundtrack outtakes.

Apple Podcasts1TheDeathmaskDivineUnited States9 years ago - Yes it is really that bad...
The first seven minutes of this podcast was ruined by the intro music going on and on Episode 140 "Is it really that bad?" Which now makes for two episodes ruined by the sound guy... good work guys.
Listen, guys you have way too much intro music as it is I noticed that from the beginning. If it's now creating an issue for you then do not use it or dump the whole intro thing. I would much rather listen to whatever you guys are talking about than the sound guy struggling to do his job rather badl... more
