This show started as a bad video games podcast but developed into a hangout show. The hosts will take a video game, which will usually be bad and forgotten and comment on it, usually bringing their own video game experiences into the mix. But mostly it's a catchup podcast where two hosts–...Read full review »

You never know what you're gonna get, but that's kinda the appeal. Give Kole some gloves D:Read full review »

People covering video games tendency to be hyperbolic, and yell about things that are largely inconsequential. This is a show wherein two adults with media literacy discuss what they liked or disliked about a game while relating it to other pieces of media. There are also jokes

In the first two minutes of that episode they had a kitchen ambience and I heard a Wilhelm scream and dishes clattering to the ground and for some reason I laughed so hard

about just about anything. Video games are as good as any jumping off point. I came from Fireballs and was tickled to find more STUFF. They’re putting good things out in the world. ❤️

This is a very fun podcast to listen to!

That cameo felt as long as March 2020

Gary and Kole sometimes discuss games of varying quality and spin off into amusing tangents unless the game is secretly good. Mostly, the games are bad and the banter is great.

Wacky and often off the rails but you will probably come away entertained. Truthfully, I care more about the off-topic content than the games themselves. Abject Suffering might be my favorite Duckfeed show.
@ThePolygon1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/21
This podcast used to be one of the best, but nowadays it’s just them briefly mentioning the title of a game before going into the mundanity of their lives or virtue signaling. A shame 😫
Dopetydopedope via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
They had an ad for Raid Garbage Game... I have lost all respect for you Gary and Cole. This network has ceased to be quality content. Don’t waste your time on this podcast.
Blueberry Fathead via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/20
After listening for years I have realized that I somehow never put in a review for this show. In short, it is great. I can’t say it is for everyone, but I can say confidently that it works for me. Gary and Kole pul off being unprofessional in a professional way in this show. Just listen and have...Read full review »

Having just gone back and listened to every episode in order, I can honestly say that Abject Suffering is one of the best podcasts, not just on Duckfeed, but in all of podcasts. Many a bad day were saved by Gary and Kole making me laugh till I cried. Give it a listen!
NiceToMeeksYou via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/20
Start with the KGB episode from Jan/Feb-ish of 2020, it had me in near tears. Otherwise, this show is very funny, worth subscribing to and using it as a great distraction from that long commute.
ATCHUALLY via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/20
This show might be about bad games and as the description says, the horrors of daily life, but I put it on when I need a pick-me-up. I was already a fan of the network and the hosts from shows like Watch Out For Fireballs and Bonfireside Chat, but hearing these two very insightful games-knowing...Read full review »

i always forget that climate change is happening, happy this show reminds me three times a month
sora_slash_fic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/19
These two fellas have the most hilarious banter! 10% of the show is game info, 90% of the show is hilarious conversation about miscellaneous subjects, 100% of the show is awesome.
The beast from the mid east via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/19
thoughtful game critique? get outta here! level by level commentary? not for me! but the boys gary and kole spending four and a half seconds on any given bad game i've never heard on and then spiraling out into personal anecdotes and laudable political opinions? yum yum, gimme some! recent...Read full review »

You need the Griddler but does the Griddler truly need you? Think about it.
omalyya via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/19
Fantastic podcast, very amusing with great charisma between the hosts, expect some interesting tangents!
Clinchos via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/02/19
Couple of goofy dorks playing awful games and plumbing the depths of McDonalds lore. Highly recommend.
Skinlesschris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/19
Gary and Kole have wonderful friend chemistry and two incredibly positive people. I cannot recommend this show highly enough.
billyneptune via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/19
This podcast makes me look like a fool as I stand, lips twisted, shaking on the bus in peals of (sometimes) silent laughter. Just great.
Got me back into games via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/19
I can’t get through a week without an episode of Abject Suffering! This show is a free-form riot, and I never get past an episode without breaking into tears laughing least once. This is no snobbish takedown of notoriously bad games- it’s more like the joy of binging on the worst fast food in...Read full review »

Abject Suffering undoubtedly feels more loose and zoomed out than Watch out for Fireballs or Bonfireside Chat. It’s a definite change of pace, but with a good balance of structured discussion and hilarious banter. If you like the other shows on the network, Gary and Kole don’t disappoint. Who is...Read full review »
ArikinSkywalker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/19
First and foremost, this is a comedy show. If you see a 39 minute episode, it’s not gonna be 39 minutes on, for example, the game adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Why? Because games like that don’t deserve 39 minutes of anyone’s time, even if they’re getting dunked on mercilessly. But never...Read full review »

Posting to nullify garbage people reviews. Love my boys
glantongang via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/18
Using a (usually but not always) terrible game as a starting point, the boys spiral out into comedy bits, cultural discussions, hilarious (and sometimes poignant) personal anecdotes, and tons and tons of GameFAQS Gold. Two good guys. One good show.
MrReciprocity via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/18
Gary and Kole are extremely good boys, and you should give love to all of their podcasts--as well as money to their Patreons (and various side projects as well). I'm a loyal Duckfeed listener of many years, and this is the show I look forward to the most. Come for the increasingly bizarre...Read full review »

Genuinely hilarious. Not only are Gary and Kole funny as all hell, they seem like they'd be a lot of fun to hang out with.Read full review »

It's about being sensitive men. This is my favorite podcast. I wish i would understand what's happening in the intro sketches but english is not my first language.Read full review »
Janchamp via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 09/09/18
As others have said, it’s the same stellar production value of all duckfeed shows, with the two best hosts from the channel. Funny, relatable, and who doesn’t love to hate bad games? My only complaint is length! It feels as though sometimes there is to much focus on the shorter length and before...Read full review »

is ok, but if only cat-kind were less susceptible to the corruption of greed, com-meow-nism would be the best way.

Which sometimes brings up video games. Those parts are also fine. Love you, Gary and Kole!
Themax8991 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/18
Sometimes they talk about the bad (or not-so-bad) game, sometimes they wax philosophical. Sometimes they talk about everything BUT the game. But it’s great entertainment from two guys who share a history of great podcasts. Check the rest of them out, starting with Watch Out For Fireballs. Come...Read full review »
Bear Armbruster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/18
If you want to understand why I love these guys, listening to this will do it. Not the discussion about the the game, but the phrase “Vagueblogging in a Lyft blog”, best story.

I’ve always been fascinated with terrible media and this show scratches that itch. It’s funny, so very off topic, and sprinkled with astute observations. Best show on the network, keep up the good work.
DozMos via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/18
AS is Perfect for when you walk the dog, drive around or just lying on the sofa. Played a lot of the games on the show:) damnit I was easy to satisfy gamewise as a kid;) Keep it up
Zxxxxxxxcc via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 05/16/18
Ever wish Kole and Gary would take a break from their normal hard hitting criticism and just shoot the breeze for a while? This is that. Sure they talk about the game if it is worth talking about, but this is more about just hearing them joke around and good off. Great supplementary podcast for...Read full review »
Lotrmartin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/18
The amusing and insightful guys behind Watch out for Fireballs have unleased their incredible powers of digression to bring you reviews based on the title of some awful videogames. To be more accurate, typically the game is just an inspiration to discuss life, bodily functions, politics, and...Read full review »

The glory hole conversation in Episode 176 reminded me that I had been meaning to watch a Muppet Christmas Carol. Thanks Guys! Also their content is great and you should support them on Patreon. <3
Robert Justin Boyd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/17
Worth a try.
Nostias via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/12/17
Which is to say, it's as entertaining and often tangential as drunken pub chats, only coherent, and genuinely funny. Gary and Kole are always fun to listen to, and this strange cousin to their more grounded shows is my pleasant, casual podcast favourite.Read full review »
