“IF you have a sense of humor, go to episode 222, and go to about 4min 15sec... maybe one sec earlier.

I mean... that was the weirdest way of saying you’re getting a sore throat. I haven’t listened to enough episodes yet, but from what I have heard, I’m not a huge fan of the socio-political perspectives they bring up. Not just because I disagree with them (which I do, for some), but also because I think that “virtue signaling” is annoying, it’s patronizing, and it’s reductive in nature. It's like boiling a nuanced issue into simple black/white terms. I think everyone should be able to believe whatever they want... whether it’s offensive, sensitive, deluded, uninformed, WHATEVER. But bringing said beliefs as a lens through which to analyze something like video games is a poor choice IMO. Especially for public consumption. Their beliefs are *subjective*... not everyone agrees with their beliefs. So it alienates a huge chunk of people who may otherwise share their interest in video games. It’s annoying when artists do it in concerts, actors do it at award shows, and when public video game discussion is invaded by subjective perspectives. 🤷♂️
BONUS: when you check out ep222 4:15, put the playback speed at 1/2... Jason sounds hilarious when you slow the speed to 0.5x. Super cringe worthy but it’s funny.”Read full review »
