“It’s such a great thing that TCGS exists-- David, Sean, Mat and James have made something really special here. The podcast is mainly dedicated to interesting and (mostly) well-informed chat about video games and the video game industry. One particularly admirable thing is that they often cover stories about darker sides of the industry (stories which other podcasts might not want to spend time on), and they always approach these topics with a lot of sensitivity and thought. These are four good leds.
As for their discussion of the games themselves, their own reactions to what they’re playing are put front and centre, which makes for a really personal and pleasantly unpolished experience. On this podcast, you’ll meet someone who thinks that Red Dead 2 is last-gen, Super Metroid is bad, and— perhaps worst of all— Detroit: Become Human is *good*. And you’ll come out the other end thinking he’s an alright guy. Madness.
Really, though, this podcast isn’t about the games. (I didn’t even own a console for the first 6 months or so I was listening). It’s about eavesdropping on chat between four very funny people, hearing about their lives, and getting that feeling of you-don’t-really-know-them-but-they’re-your-mates that only great podcasts can give you.
If you haven’t listened to this and want to get into it, right this second download one of their Game of the Year Shows and put it on. You’ll immediately see what makes this podcast such a special thing.”
