  • Awesome work!

    By far my favorite gaming podcast, I’ve listened to the more popular ones and they just aren’t the same. Appreciate the work you guys do, good job. It would be awesome to see a segment on games you guys personally thought changed the fundamentals and the way we play games today. From control schemes to concepts like battle royales or open world!

    Pretty good but the hosts need a person who can talk about console gaming, rather than mostly PC. *cough Me *cough.
