Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 415 ratings
  • Favorite podcast of any genre

    I’m not even “that” into video games, and yet this show has consistently given me hours of entertainment for close to a decade. Three good friends who are all so different from one another, from gaming tastes to politics, and yet they keep the show interesting. It’s like a fine wine, getting better with age. Don’t be turned off by the banter, small talk, and inside jokes. With time, you’ll be belly laughing right along, appreciating the fact that they aren’t trying to be a comedy show; they’... more

  • Boring and slow

    It’s fine I guess, and these guys clearly love games, but it’s so hard to listen to these episodes! Boring, slow, and all over the place. IGN game scoop is a way better pod.

  • Great Pod

    Been a listener since 2019, love the intro banter about sports, entertainment and things about the hosts lives before diving into gaming content. Great wholesome conversations between friends. 5 stars.

  • Best gaming podcast hands down

    This is by far the best gaming podcast if not podcast in general. The guys are awesome and likable. Love the fact that I found a gaming podcast that doesn’t cuss every other word.
