  • Not for me

    I enjoy gaming and listening to gaming podcasts, but this one feels unusually shallow. Also, consider using a mic shield to cut down on the harsh 'P' sounds—it would really improve the audio quality.

  • Eh

    Less of a bad games cast and more of a games we don’t enjoy cast. A lot of issues these people have with games are more matters of personal preference than actually bad.

  • It’s decent but

    It seems that a lot of the time these people just don’t like the gameplay style, not that it’s inherently bad. This can go both waves for say, Sonic Unleashed. The boost gameplay s designed for quick thinking and fluid platforming, which is made more challenging by the speed. If you can’t handle the speed, you won’t like it. The second part of the game is not designed for Sonic games, so of you think of it as a completely different ’baby’s first hack and slash’, you’ll like it a lot better. Ther... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deus Ex The Fall
Q: What do you do when you're in a gaming rut?
When I'm in a gaming rut, I tend to rotate through different media like TV shows or movies as there's always a backlog there. I focus on what feels easiest to engage with at that time.
The Greyhill Incident
Q: Do we got more to add here?
We really just don't have anything to say about this game; it's bad and incredibly linear with nothing to commend it.
The Greyhill Incident
Q: Can we talk about how miserable dark it is in the flashlight since we brought it up?
The game is too dark, but all of the objects are too shiny because people don't know how lighting works.
Christmas Gift Exchange ’23
Q: So was that good for you, Jake? Was that compelling? Did you feel that raw, visceral adrenaline high of trading diamonds and mining carpets?
It felt like ten. And there's no hotkeys. There's no quality of life improvements. It's just a lot of continuous clicking.
Christmas Gift Exchange ’23
Q: What did you play?
I played Bad Way. It's truly miserable naming structure here.
