“Podcasts often take a while to find their footing —fumbling through formats, cast members, and searching for a chemistry through shared zeniths and nadirs.
GameSpot After Dark is the rare new IP that explodes into the deep gaming industry consciousness with the cohesion, intelligence, diversity, and confidence of a crafted masterpiece of a legendary, fully established and venerated series. Now 130 episodes deep, the eclectic cast rotates but yet always retains the same level of passion, hilarity, and congruence.
There is a genuine and obvious support structure between every guest and regular, which is all the more impressive considering how deep the pool of experts GameSpot features. The team understands how to meld industry news and the type of tangential treasure that Nathan Drake would happily shoot hundreds of random soldiers to capture. Every single episode of the current 130 has the relevance, revelry, and headshot-level precision of smart, nuanced critical takes with a healthy smattering of deez nuts jokes.
Their commitment to industry transparency is a rare gift—allowing listeners to understand exactly what their dedication to deliverance and deadlines actually requires, and provides an accurate lens into how gaming journalism truly operates.
Being able to accomplish all of this is truly the “Dark Souls” of podcasting, in the sense that the risk of starting from scratch with such a beloved bunch rewards us listeners with the tangible feeling of supporting kind, caring, brilliant souls who dare to be the best kind of different in an industry packed with a litany of choices.”

“I gave this podcast a chance for months but I just can’t take it with the spoilers anymore. They will frequently say “we won’t do any spoilers” in the beginning of an episode only to start spoiling stuff 20 minutes later. After they just spoiled some Alan Wake stuff, I’m out. Unsubscribed.”
