“The new host has no clue what he is talking about the majority of the time. When he reviewed FF16 he is upset that NPCs in the game don’t revolt against their oppressors. It’s a game dude. The brother of Clive is named Joshua, where did you get Philip? He said a lot of the stuff is obvious, nice...”Read full review »

“They really remind me of my friends and I, just two 30 somethings talking about games but inevitably get distracted by some real life stuff, but it’s all stuff that’s easy to relate to. It really is an easy listen for anybody who can relate. Keep it up”

“I used to love hearing this podcast until you decided to give uninformed political opinions. Just so you can say and act like you’re doing something with the White founded BLM movement. I don’t tune in to a retro gaming podcast to hear more of your political thoughts because you watch to much...”Read full review »

“Been a listener since the beginning. Great show even when going off topic is the normal. If you’re new the biggest advice I can give you is take it slow episodes don’t often come out.”

“You guys are easy on the ears and remind me of rambling about games with my childhood friend when I was younger who died a few years ago. I enjoy the more casual nature of the show, not trying to be to structured or serious just talking about something you love. I usually listen to the podcast on...”Read full review »

Your random stories about work or the in depth review of LaRossa’s pizza are hilarious. Your game reviews are fun too. Just wish we could get more than 1 per...”Read full review »

“You two have good chemistry. When you guys do a retrospective on a game it is quite enjoyable. Just don’t make me and the other listener wait too long on your next game. Is Paper Mario still a thing?”

The first episode I tried, one host went on and on about how playing games for the show is such a chore and isn’t fun when it’s for “work”. Why would I enjoy listening to something...”Read full review »

“I listened to episode one and heard anti-semetic comments; things douches might say to a Jewish friend. Then I listened to episode two and after an email complained they said that it’s just an running joke that they make. I say avoid them.”

“I thought it would be fun to hear people talk about Chrono Cross. 12 minutes into an ep, and they're complaining about iPhones and people at work. Still haven't actually started talking about the game. Other than the into music for the show, you wouldn't know it was about video games (is it?). A...”Read full review »

“Even with a obviously derailed release schedule, this show has an awesome back catalogue of content to listen to. The addition of the Is It Worth It podcast to this feed makes it worth all five stars alone, but main show hosts Derek and Don bring five star as well. Even if its only sporadically.”

“You guys have great banter and I find your show increasingly addictive to listen to! Retro RPGs need more love, especially the 8 bit ones, so please check out the early Dragon Warriors, Phantasy Stars (1-3) and maybe some terrible old D&D NES titles like Bard's Tale! Oh, and Crystalis!...”Read full review »
