Epic video game (and other stuff from the pop culture stratosphere) discussion. I learn a ton whenever I listen to the new episodes!
Fun, interesting video game discussions from two friends who are pretty knowledgeable about the matter. I don’t keep up with gaming the way I used to, but I didn’t feel excluded from the conversation at all. A good listen!
As a big fan of videogames I really enjoyed this podcast. It was great hearing the gang talk about the world of remasters especially with some high profile ones like Dead Space coming up. They have a lot of terrific energy and you won't want to miss out!
