The GAP Podcast, or Generic Acronym Podcast Podcast, is a podcast featuring Luke Lawrie and Joab Gilroy (plus whoever they can con onto the show) where they talk about the games they’ve been playing. This thing is 600+ episodes long and it’s all one giant long arc. With every ep being between 60 to 250 minutes long there’s no way you’d ever catch up. There’s no real point in trying.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The GAP Episode 763 - The Review
Q: Baz asks how upcoming social media age verification might impact gaming, particularly for chat-heavy titles like World of Warcraft or Fortnite; what are the potential pros and cons?
The hosts discuss both potential safeguards and overreach, noting the risk of easy circumvention but also the need for some regulation to protect younger players, while highlighting the practical challenges of policing cross-platform social features.
The GAP Episode 763 - The Review
Q: Monkey Magic asks if Diablo 4 is a good price right now and notes the game's ongoing live-service nature; is it worth buying at $37.47 with a current sale?
The hosts agree that Diablo 4 can be worth it around that price, citing the value of $37 as a good entry point given the ongoing live-service updates and the amount of enjoyment already derived, though opinions vary with personal playstyle and the desire for ongoing seasons.
The GAP Episode 777 - The Idle Install
Q: Baz's question from last week: what is the best weapon class combo in Battlefield?
The hosts respond that the best combination remains to favor support as the class, with engi as a potential counter when there are a lot of vehicles in play, highlighting that the meta is still very much in flux and depends on map and game mode.
The GAP Episode 790 - The GAP Olympics
Q: Johnny Bravo writes, is it a dick move to refund a $8.79 leaf-collection game after finishing it in 100 minutes?
Joab and Luke advise against refunds in that scenario, arguing it encourages padding playtime, and emphasize supporting indie developers, with Luke noting indie devs deserve support and both agreeing not to refund.

Q: Can I get a legacy title that I can lord over everyone?
