It’s sad when your favorite pods succumb to podfade but such is life. Zach and Eric do a great job of carrying what’s left of the show with sparse episodes but there’s some solid gold episodes about halfway through the run when Mike, Dan and Tom were part of the cast. At least give us a formal...Read full review »

gamer grandpa is very wrong, show at peak with Mike.

I’ve been listening for over a year now. This podcast is full of wonderfully random chaos. As a gamer and a game collector I love the insight and passion shown to each game. Thank you for all that you do and keep it going!

I’ve been listening to this podcast about five or six years. Always funny and informative.

This podcast is just what I was looking for when searching for retro gaming waffle but I didn’t even know it. Only started getting into the podcast scene around a year ago and since then this one has been at the top of the list. When I first found the factory sealed crew I was looking for a more...Read full review »

Pulled up FF7 remake episode and they are talking about random stuff for over 30 minutes!! Gimme a break cut to the chase or let us know in description at what point you actually talk about the game

If you like podcasts about an American that loves freedom and shooting off rounds after dinner, a guy who kicks piss soaked rags at kids, a foreigner that can’t pronounce anything correctly such as Konami, a serial killer that drops hints on which lakes he disposed of the bodies, a guy who’s only...Read full review »

Sometimes these pup biatches will bring up a game or two, but it’s mostly just basement dwellers prattling on about farts and such. It’s not a terrible show, but it’s more FM morning comedy talk show than retro gaming podcast. Maybe change the podcast cover art to a bunch of sock and buskins, a...Read full review »

Jeeves, Write my review for me: The hosts are some of the funniest people I've listened to, and one of them is the Savior of the show so you have to give him credit. But if i had one critique, it would be please add more loud keyboard presses. Makes me happy in pants. Love you guys, keep...Read full review »

i would put a 5 star review but whoever keeps typing away on the keyboard in the background kinda distracts from the conversation. my only nitpick
DJKazu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/20
These guys seriously need an editor; this podcast meanders for so long before they actually get to the topic. It’s obvious they’re close friends, which is fantastic, but damnit if they don’t go on about anything and everything before they reach the show topic.
David Cavalleri via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/20
Unlike in WWI and WWII it’s the Brits who come through to save the American for once. Eric is typically a fine host but sooner or later he’ll mispronounce vague or plague with words that sound more like flag or bag and it totally distracts from whatever is happening and I feel like I’d rather be...Read full review »
Jadosa29 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/19
It’s like watching Jerry Springer. Listening to these guys makes me realize “Hey, I’m not half bad!” PS To new listeners: There is no point to the game of the week. They will talk about Final Fantasy and Zelda no matter what the title says. And if potty humor isn’t your thing, then man are you in...Read full review »

Jeeves where is my 5 star!?!?
Jrmoss13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/19
The show is great everytime an episode drops. It is loaded with a good share of good thought provoking gaming related discussions, detailed walkthroughs of a game an episode, and plenty of idiotic banter. 10/10 would recommend. Listen to IT!!!!!
jlhallgamer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/19
Factory Sealed is my favorite gaming podcast these days. I love the banter back and forth between the cohosts. Plus, their insights on the games they cover are always interesting. Good stuff.
LutheranGuitarist93 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/19
When you find those special people with who you can talk hours on end about nothing and everything at the same time it's something to be treasured. These hosts have met their podcasting life partners even though they are from all over the world. They have a fantastic fan following who are...Read full review »

At first I didn’t like how long it took for the cast to get to the part of the podcast where they play the game, but after a few episodes the opening shenanigans became my favorite part. Find an episode about a game you’re interested in and you’ll be hooked to listen to them all.
Keith Ffe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/19
This is my favorite retro gaming podcast! I love the off topic banter and when they get into the game of the week i get lots of tips for my playthrough. Can’t recommend enough!
dirufanatic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/19
1st listen on 4/18/19 episode 177. Audio is so bad I think they just record off an iPhone 6. Children screaming in background too. I guess if you personally know whoever these people are talking You may understand the show format (if any format). Not my cup of tea for a gaming podcast.
Ggdxhhfcfgcd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/19
Good thing about this podcast is I don't have to pause it when I walk away from the car because you don't really miss anything. Matter of fact Im not sure why I listen to these guys at all. Its barely a video game podcast and it is utter trash. I highly recommend it.Read full review »
MikeHamma via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/19
Really just some guys talking. Not a lot of structure here, a lot of random diversions (not always a bad thing). It’s fun to listen in if you want to feel like you just stepped into the middle of a casual game conversation.
Jake with a rake via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/18
A lovely bunch of chaps who you’ll get to know over a few episodes. Not strictly all gaming related but always a good laugh.
HazulMae via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/29/18
Started listening to this podcast 2 years ago and really haven't looked back since. The crew, while ever evolving, has solid video game knowledge and insight. There's good chemistry between the hosts, a focus on how gaming impacts them outside the scope of a show about games. Just the...Read full review »

Other than that it’s very good
Gamergrandpa36 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/18
It annoys me when games are being reviewed that half the crew haven’t even played and the ones that have can’t remember the plot. Also nice to have time codes so that the 2 hour review you thought you were getting you know is firstly an hour of waffling and then the review starts.
Straightfaced ted via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/15/18
They sat there and made Metal Gear food puns for like 20 minutes.
ddraholic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/18
OMG
They talk about random BS for like an hour! Make non funny inside jokes all the time! Hard to follow and barely any actual talk about the games!
Shboettcher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/17
Factory Sealed is the gaming podcast you've always wanted , but didn't know you needed until you found it. No, they don't talk about games the whole time you're listening, but when they do talk about the one or more games that they played for each episode, it's that much more...Read full review »
thegoodship88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/17
They are not always on topic but the crew is always having fun. Mike Tyson is an amazing recent addition to the crew. Daniel Curtis "saved the show" and reminds us ever episode. Tom Regan is always entertaining (when he's on, might be a Jess?) and finally the leader Eric Pederson,...Read full review »

I began listening to This podcast almost 6 months ago, not knowing what to expect, and find myself 6 months later not able to picture a world without Factory Sealed. A well-rounded podcast with equal amounts spontaneity, silliness, wisdom and fun, all of the hosts (yes that means Aron too) add...Read full review »

Just listened to episode 136, and i very much enjoyed the in-depth discussion on crash bandicoot and shadowrun.

A top notch retro gaming podcast. Very passionate hosts who have great fun with each other which comes accross very well on the show. They select and play through an old game for every episode . Also attached is a very fun community of listeners. Keep going for another 20 years guys.
BrendanConnolly via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 07/14/17
Fun podcast. It just feels like you're hanging out with your buddies; remembering and replaying the games you loved in the 80's and 90's. Pretty interactive with their listeners, so you can feel like part of the show as long as you're willing to participate. Plus you get to pick...Read full review »

When they are reviewing games this podcast is quite informative and entertaining, but those moments are few and far between.
TomMisfit941 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/17
Love Factory Sealed. Witty, entertaining and informative retro gaming goodness (when they eventually get round to talking about them that is). Hosted by Eric, Dan, Jess, posh Tom and with the occasional appearance from Ronnie Pickering the crew compliment and bounce off each other in their own...Read full review »
Dazstorm via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/24/17
Very in depth looks at classic game play from a very well versed crew. To be fair this is not a typical 'always on topic' podcast. The rapport between friends is as much a part of this series as the games. Once Tom and Dan join the show (around ep 50?) it settles into a pretty good recipe...Read full review »

A fun little podcast of 4 friends talking Life, Fun and mostly Video Games. Starring Goof Troop Leader Eric Pederson, Catwoman Jess Clarkson, Little Pip Daniel Curtis, and from the ghetto of GTA London, Corndog Tom Ragan. Whether Eric is chasing criminals down his front street or Jess is...Read full review »

I'm a English guy trapped on the graveyard shift in Australia and I needed something to entertain me when we close the bar. Around 4am I have to sweep, mop and do general boring jobs. I decided to find a podcast to keep me entertained and I came across Factory Sealed. I have pretty much...Read full review »

This is a complete pile of garbage and should be removed from the App Store immediately. I can't even believe how awful this was. If you have 5 stars you need to go home and rethink your life.Read full review »

Been listening forever and I love it. Best gaming podcast out there.
Kick2hestr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/16
Thought provoking, insightful, sentimental, a deep study of gaming, that is not this podcast. If I want that I have plenty of other places to go. What is this podcast, it is a group of 4 friends who get together to have fun and discuss gaming topics and one retro game per week. Do they always...Read full review »
