I stumbled soon this podcast when Lardy Rich said they had reviewed CoC2. I’ve went back and listened to all of their shows. They give honest takes on games. And I love it when they bring up old obscure games you had no idea existed. The only problem is I’m buying a lot more games now than I have time to play.
