To wrap up the year, December's premium episode of WOFF! is the live panel we did at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo back in October. Bob Mackey and Jeremy Parish of the Retronauts joined us to talk about the best and worst 7/10 games. One score means... more
To celebrate episode 500, we wrap up the plot of our yearly CRPG, Wasteland 3. We're heading up the mountains toward the north in order to deal with Victory, the Psychopath who is holed themselves up in Aspen.

Thoughtful and detailed analyses of both retro and more recent games. These guys are easily my favorite pod casting duo — check out this show and others they do on Duckfeed.tv. Their Baldur’s Gate 3 series (Real Lich Hours, season 1) was AMAZING and what initially got me hooked. Well worth your time!
About 10 years ago this podcast was great, in recent years these two white dudes seem to think they are moral warriors (one now wears a dress and that means he can speak about women’s issues).

A shame as they just to be chilled out, chatting about games and joking but those days are long gone.
I listened to this podcast during cancer treatments because it pulled me in no matter how scattered I felt that day. Empathetic storytelling and intelligent analysis.
And I haven’t even played most of these games, :).

It’s hard to listen to their game reviews when these guys actively support kids doing irreparable harm to themselves by transitioning. Also, Kole Ross has decided he’s a girl now and it’s like boy you will never ever be a woman and it’s insulting to all real women to think you are. Also these guys are so delusional, they’ve been talking about recently that they are scared they are going to be kidnapped and put into camps hahaha it’s like dudes you’re nerdy podcasters who read edgy socialist lite... more
