With the release of Dragon Quest I & II HD 2D, I decided to try out all the previous versions of the game to compare. What I found is an endlessly charming little RPG that I have absolutely fallen in love with. While I've played many Dragon Quest gam... more

Probably listened to about 20 episodes or so and mostly pretty recent ones. These guys really try to dive deep and give a proper appreciation and effort to understand these works of art called video games. Their effort and respect given to the art form is very evident and makes this show special. If you’re lucky enough to have them cover your favorite games, you will be struck by their insight and feel joy that someone else is noticing the things you notice after having played your favorite game... more
I just want to say I resonate with your views, opinions , and life experience as well as video game tastes. Your podcasts are so good. Please don’t stop!
In depth conversations and analysis about mainly video games topics and science fiction fantasy genres entertainment.

Their discussions both celebrate and critically analyze a game and often have a book club feel as you can play along with them to vicariously join the conversation. They often add related discussions of broad themes of philosophy, good writing, design, game history, and et... more
I really wanted to support the podcast because they cover so many games that I love and are well spoken, but one of the hosts (Casen) follows a bunch of extremely hateful people on twitter and it completely soured me on the whole thing. :( hard to believe he’s a chud, but oh well. Raw egg nationalist, really? They want to keep it apolitical clearly, but it’s hard to square that away with one of the main hosts flirting with fascism.
Relatively newer listener (last 25 shows) but wanted to chime in after your recent music podcast. You had me at video game music, but the touching stories of family and specifically, the one about a hosts friend who lost his mom and using the Super Mario RPG OST to help. Games can transcend aspects of our lives we cannot voice, push beyond what words could achieve, thank you for sharing guys.
You delved into a deeper aspect of games most gaming pods sorely lack, it’s something f I’ve been look... more
