  • One of the best gaming podcasts out there

    I’ve been listening for about a year and a half now, and I’ve got to say these guys are criminally underrated.

    Their debriefs, even if I don’t agree with many of them, are very well thought out and often lead to you having a better understanding about what works/what didn’t in a game.

Their weekly discussion topics are refreshing to listen to as opposed the usual n... more

  • Great gaming discussion

    EXP is always a treat to listen to. At the start of the episode, I don't know whether I get a thoughtful review, a nostalgic trip, or a hilarious debate, but it is always a good time.

  • Enjoyable and insightful

    I've been listening for I think a couple of years now. Always fun and insightful, the kind of podcast where I wish I could sit down with the hosts and continue the discussion after the episode. Also a good way to get the gist of what's happening in some of the genres and consoles that I'm not active in.
