Self serving
This podcast can be a lot of fun. They have and are great at role playing their characters, but it’s almost like the listeners are an afterthought. Compared to the other DND podcasts that I listen to, these guys do the worst job of acknowledging that they are playing to an audience. Now it is nice not to hear advertisements or commercials for products during the show but they don’t seem to care at all about the viewers. They do a very poor just of calling out rolls, don’t describe scenes or monsters very well, and don’t bother sharing what upgrades they’ve picked when they level up, which can be frustrating to keep up with the what’s going on. They also have so many inside jokes and a lot of back story that they don’t share with the audience that makes you feel incompetent at times. Lastly, they bicker about rules and “taking away from our time”. To explain, one or two characters will be doing a scene and another chapter out of scene will make a joke, the others will bully the others and shut down the one joke that the audience gets and will laugh at. All-in-all it’s a good podcast, they just need to do a better job at relating to the audience and get over their egos. (Mainly Greckles. Borky on the other hand is hands down the best part of this podcast!) I stopped listening during season 2. Maybe I’ll get back into it, but I’ve started to feel empty while listening to it and find that other podcasts do a better job of acknowledging the listeners.

I’ll admit I started watching the adventures of the unexpectables on YouTube but I had been hoping with each passing week for the eventual podcast version. Taka as Borky is as endearing as he is multifaceted. Gaijin as greckles adds a humorous seriousness and a hint of intrigue. Senile as the...Read full review »
