“This is a tough show to rate. It's really both a "1" and a "5", so I split the difference. I enjoyed AHG for quite a while. Mike, Thay & Christy can be hilariously funny. They can also be insightful and informative. For example, in a recent episode Mike & Thay had a great discussion on D&D that got to the heart of "role playing" vs. "hack & slash & gather loot".
What's the downside? Well, I used to really enjoy Christy's rants. They were funny and irreverent and generally light amusement. Now, however, she has started taking herself way too seriously, and she just sounds whiny and extraordinarily self-centered. Whether she's complaining that someone got in the way of her getting an achievement or ranting about being killed during a PvP quest, her voice just grates on your nerves. I got to the point where I was just fast forwarding thru her complaining and finally decided to give up on the show.
All that having been said, it's worth downloading an episode & listening, although the explicit tag is well-deserved... be warned!”
