  • Great show up until 2 Years ago

    This was the video game podcast to listen to for a long time. This past year or so, it’s just been hard to listen to. One to many hosts trying to be funny all the time and always talk over each other. I stayed optimistic when Mikael left the show, but with the change of the format, it felt like train went off the rails. Please listen to everything the show had to offers prior to 2023. It was a very fun show to listen to and it made 2 and a half hours fly by

    Somebody needs to take that soundboard away from Chris. Hearing the same sound bite 37 times in every since he took over episode is awful. Reparez come back

  • Well things have changed

    I think sobriety would add a lot to the quality of this podcast. Kind of hard to keep a coherent conversation going anymore.
