“I'm not a bitter old fan from 10+ years ago. I'm just someone who likes game discussions that are insightful and entertaining. This show very rarely provides that.
The first half hour is unlistenable. The current crew is a charisma black hole, which is why adding a single normal person like Minotti or Bailey turns them into an instant fan favorite. Grubb is alright, but Jan, Bakalar, and even Dan Ryckert are just not fun to listen to.
The game discussions are pretty bad. Jan and Bakalar are just not good at talking about games. Grubb is generally good at it, but doesn't play more than an hour of most games. He also insists on playing everything on a handheld PC like the Steamdeck, which is like a film critic watching every movie on their phone. Dan can be good at it, but has very little structure imposed on him here, which usually leads him to be an active hinderance to real game discussion.
Once again, the crew's general lack of interest in games is highlighted when actual gamers like Bailey or Minotti show up as guests. The contrast is stark. It's just beyond obvious that adding a guest makes the regulars on the show look bad, across several different metrics. That should be evidence enough that the show is not in a great place.”Read full review »

If you don't know who these two are, Jeff Gerstmann is a loud, funny guy; Ryan...”Read full review »
