  • Listened to one review, didn’t even bother to finish the game.

    Given the game was Blinx The Time Sweeper, so I wouldn’t expect someone unfamiliar with platformers to finish it in a couple days, but with the third act about the Sega connection and references to Jak & Daxter I would think at least one of these guys could get through the game. Bad Crystal combos and backtracking are the only legitimate complaints in that episode. Won’t be listening to another episode.

  • Thorough content and great information

    It's refreshing to hear honest opinions, experiences, and expectations from and for video games. Very deep cut content. I always learn so much from every show.

  • Great Stuff!

    My buddy went to a training with one of the guys on this podcast and told me I had to listen when he got back. I took his advice and I am really digging the dynamic and format of this podcast. I am totally glad this was recommended to me and I am definitely going to go through the backlog and listen to everything I can.

    Keep up the good work guys!

  • Great fun

    I stopped listening to the IGN, Joystiq, and other gaming podcasts because they got annoying for numerous reasons. This one is well structured and will give you the same information but is more fun since these guys have a sense of humor.
