  • Great Podcast with just the right amount of off-topic

    Love the podcast, highlight of my podcasting week and can’t wait for VGC Live. Great knowledge and opinions across the panel. Andy’s experience is clearly unmatched but sometimes he can dominate the talking points a bit too much.

  • Usually great

    It’s usually funny and they talk about games great banter but the 2026 what you are looking forward to was absolutely off the rails chatting nonsense about wrestling no one cares talk about games guys

  • Hmm

    Normally love this podcast, but what was the deal with the anti-union episode? Bad look for you guys. Even if rockstar employees were sharing more than they should in a union discord, that proves rockstar higherups are snooping inside union discords looking for evidence to fire union members. Hearing y’all bend over backwards to defend a billion dollar corporation is odd.

Q: How does the actual plastic on the Xbox handheld feel?
The buttons have a slight cheap feel, not sturdy for the price, and there are aspects that feel a bit cheap such as a cardboard stand.
