I really used to enjoy it.
I have been with this podcast since it began and I have enjoyed my time with it for the most part. I enjoy the video game discussion and some of the off topic topics in media and what is going on in the hosts lives. In a recent episode they were complaining about how video game websites can't be just about video games, but have to be about the culture of video games. Which I totally agree with. Then they started discussing Game of Thrones and threw out a spoiler to the current season. Then they talked about the spoiler stating it was an obvious thing. That was wehen I deleated the podcast. I don't understand how they can bemoan the fact that they have to talk about media associated with video game culture (being Game of Thrones) and then voluntarily talk about the show on their podcast and just say a spoiler without warning or a real reason. Infact they said something to the effect that there isn't such a thing as spoilers. This came during a discussion of from them about how they really weren't fans of the show. I am all for liking what you like and not forcing people to like things you like. But that doesn't mean you have to interfere with someone elses ability to enjoy a show. For the most part I truelly enjoyed the podcast, but this segment of hypocracy and superiority really put a bad taste in my mouth. Best of luck to Danielle and Rob. Danielle is quite an inspirational person with all the things she has accomplished in her personal life and in video games. I may listen sometime down the road, but for now I am done with the podcast.Read full review »

I really love the intelligence that these two bring to the gaming industry. They were great on their previous podcasts and they're still great here!

Danielle and Rob are such nice company. Both are enthusiastic as schoolkids about games, but can also offer deep psychological insights into gaming culure, geekism and entertainment at large. Best listened to with your feet up, and a nice warm mug of coffee. And maybe a biscuit or two !

This show offers great discussions of a variety of topics, which sometimes extend from games to tv and books. The two hosts, Danielle and Rob, have a good rapport and are good at bouncing ideas off each other. Absolutely worth a listen if you enjoy the other podcasts on the Idle Thumbs network!
