“I wish I could recommend this show. I like these guys, I’ve listened to one of their other podcasts SCPT for a long time, but you really get the sense that they actively dislike the format of their own show. They have either abandoned or openly disdain of their own self-imposed gimmicks, such as keeping a ranked list of the games they cover, or sticking to releases from a specific time period.
Playing the games in advance of making an episode is treated as a chore, particularly for Matt. I think this has now reached a crescendo in the most recent episode on Mortal Kombat 2, wherein the guys stated that they didn’t like the game and thus didn’t even play it. Ok, then maybe don’t cover it?
The final nail in the coffin for me is the language. I get that it is a show targeted towards adults, but any podcast that I can’t have on in my car when my kids are around is likely to drop from my following list. It’s a shame, because I have found my kids really like some of the old games from my childhood, and they would probably get interested in playing some of these classic games after hearing about them from people who played them when they were new.
Best of luck to them in their other shows, but I’m unfollowing this one.”

“Halo 3 is too high and I love that they know it.
This show has genuinely improved my Tuesdays. The range of genres and eras covered with love (or at least, openness) by Matt and Hunter makes the ranking so much harder and the show so much more of a delight. Keep it up, gents.”

“The host play off each other so well it makes it extremely enjoyable to listen to.
I only wish that I would have come across this later so there would be more episodes to listen to.”

“One of my favorite podcasts! I audibly laugh at least twice an episode and I (for the most part) agree with the opinions. Just finished the reranking episode, and the only thing I don’t really agree with is Inscryption, which is top 5 for me. This is for sure my favorite game podcast. 10/10”
