- I’m just glad they are still doing a podcast
Actually insane that these fellas are still going podcasts. Max Scoville was still at Destructoid and Brian was doing Gamespy Debriefings when I first came across these gents. Some of the funniest and most down to earth guys I’ve ever heard who work in the games journalism industry! Give this show a listen!
