Dull. Joyless. Stuffy. Needs a rinse

“Video games are fun. Talking about video games should be fun. Right? Then why does no one seem to be having any (fun) on this most pedantic and sleep inducing of podcasts? On paper this looks like a surefire hit: a bunch of nerds talk about your favorite games, old and new. Trouble is, most of the assembled nerds might as well be discussing colonoscopies (they're mostly dudes), such is the sheer joy they bring to the proceedings. I think the main problem here is the hosts themselves: the gentlemen have the personalities of laundry detergent: they are thorough but leave you dry, and with a funny taste in your mouth (hey, stop eating that). The discussions are humorless, soulless, directionless, and very pretentious: this is not Antique Road Show, gents, it’s a video games podcast. With a very few exceptions (one-I think CJ), most of the hosts/guests come across as unengaging, immature, one dimensional blowhards, in their very own little boys club. Just because you've played unhealthy amounts of Super Meat Boy (and I do mean unhealthy, these guys really should go outside once in a while), doesn't mean you can carry on a conversation about it for an hour, or that you should. But, if you make me laugh, if you can entertain, if your Super Meat Boy experience reflects the human condition, the futility of what it means to be flesh and bone, hey…now that’s a show I’d listen to. This is quite simply: a podcast about video games brought to you by some guys who play video games. Its biggest sin is that it thinks its somehow better than that.”Read full review »

“Podcast for gamers for sure. A different take on gaming talk that is new and refreshing. I much prefer the indepth talk about individual games than alot of info jammed in a short amount of time like other podcast. A great addition to my weekly listening pleasure ;)”
