  • A pleasant show

    Big fan of video game podcasts-- these guys bring something unique to the gamut of VG podcasts out there: subtlety. While there's a time and a place for the zany, wacky podcasts, sometimes I want to hear a conversation like the ones these guys bring, where the humor comes out of the discussion as opposed to hamfisted forced jokes.

    Keep it up!

  • Entertaining chat about games

    As someone who loved playing games when I was younger but doesn't get time anymore these boys bring back some great memories. It is a light chat about new and old games from guys who love their gaming
