- Amazing Ensemble
Whether you are casually interested in only a niche genre of video game or you’re a hog wild elite pro gamer, there is something for you here. Hosted by a very fun group of characters with a good mix of interests. Just positive, funny, easy listening. Five stars! P.S. - the Resties episodes rule!! (Will that get my name read in the “thank you” portion, Russ)

United States24 days ago - Good but not great
For the incredibly low hanging fruit of a video game podcast, the besties is entertaining but is hamstrung by it’s sour nature. more
Apple Podcasts3Jill Lloyd FlanaganUnited States25 days ago I normally like the McElroy brothers and friends, but I'm just not sure I want to listen to them talk about microtransaction games. They are pretty much anathema to gameplay and other content, bending all aspects of a game towards money that should have been just spent when you bought the game. Besides that they also talk about a lot of stuff like call of duty (though that and microgames aren't the only thing they speak of) that I don't really follow. They are funny, but the content is rough.

These goofballs always make me a little happier while I listen. Even the ads are somehow not annoying. 💚
Apple Podcasts5RuffGemUnited Statesa month ago - Need more resties
Big fan of the Friday shows, and the addition of the Resties was a big win for the program. My only gripe is that the Resties isn’t a weekly thing.
