    Excellent wide ranging gaming podcast(please stop hating on VR). Scott and Josh’s conversation on Heinz Beans made me finally pull the trigger and write this review. Also some day if I become a crazed billionaire I’m going to buy the Lord of the Rings film franchise and digitally replace Pippin and Merry with Scott and Josh, not to play the characters but full on be themselves. Cheers!

    They have an insatiable lust for AAA slop. Methane gas huffers , and sniffers of the video game industry. Don’t buy into their bull.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does Game Length Equal Value??
Q: With Clayface, Joker and Penguin getting the limelight with their shows and movies, which Batman character that's not Bruce Wayne's Batman deserves their own show or movie?
They discuss the potential for standalone stories focusing on characters like Two-Face or Mr. Freeze, suggesting courtroom drama or bio-thriller angles could be effective, while acknowledging the challenge of balancing lore with fresh storytelling.
Is It Time For PC Gaming To Replace Consoles?
Q: Do you think part of why we're so nostalgic about the games we grew up with is because we had fewer games, so we replayed them endlessly?
The host suggests nostalgia stems from a mix of repetition and a simpler media landscape, while acknowledging that modern live-service titles and huge content libraries shift how players form attachments, making frequent replays less common for newer generations.
The Wild West Of Early Game Journalism
Q: If GTA 6 underperformed, could the industry suffer?
They think it would be a significant setback due to investor pressure and revenue expectations, but not the end of the industry; it would prompt reassessment of strategies, pricing, and perhaps a renewed focus on quality and differentiation.
The Wild West Of Early Game Journalism
Q: What do you think the industry will look like in the next five to ten years?
The panel expects more grassroots outlets and independent creators, with a tilt toward honesty and direct audience connection, while larger conglomerates continue to restructure. They also anticipate a shift back to more human, less algorithm-driven discovery and a rise in smaller, self-run sites and channels.
What Would Make You Give Up On Gaming?
Q: What is your take on the current state of console pricing and whether it will push people away from gaming?
The panel agrees that prices are a short-term pressure but not necessarily a reason to quit; they expect adjustments and a possible shift toward preserving legacy libraries and focusing on single-player experiences rather to keep the hobby sustainable.
