- Ok
Not terrible but some things get beaten to death and they have some wildly out of touch takes on things

I listened to these guys all the time. Have to unfollow. As michelle complains about the graphics and performance so much it gets old. Not everyone can play on top end stuff. And John just wants to play dumb noises and play music. And then Michelle yells Ang gets annoyed. Gets old listening to that all the time. If you don’t agree with Michelle then it is a big issue. Her way on reviews and if you don’t like it then you Mr dumb and don’t know games.

I always look forward to Michelle and John’s banter. Michelle has some of the best takes and never lets John get to comfortable with his fanboying for long!
