It *can* be great…
I’ll start with the positives - when you get an episode with a set of engaging hosts who are really passionate about the game they’re covering, this is one of the best podcasts ever. (Old school game episodes with Leon and Michiel are great!) But when you hit an episode with a group of less charismatic hosts (and there are many) discussing a game they’re not too fond of, you’re stuck listening to people nitpicking a game for two hours…and that’s not fun. At all. Worse still is when the discussion is derailed from the topic of the game (the literal point of the podcast) to real world events and politics. The Batman: Arkham Knight podcast had endless tangents asking if Batman is a “toxic” character, and Leon specifically rambles on about “erm, those certain types of people online with, um, Joker avatars and things”. The episode on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy featured a digression about *real life* PMCs in the *real world* simply because a *fictional character* in a *video game* has a backstory where she was *formerly employed* by a PMC. “How do we feel about playing a character like that?” I’d wager that 99% of players don’t feel *any kind of way at all*, thanks. So yes - this podcast can be great! It can be one of my favorite things ever! But it can also be excessively dry. And irritating. Like sand. Don’t make me put sand in my ears, Cane and Rinse!

Fantastic podcast. Gets a good discussion with banta without having to resort to not talking about the game.
