“This review started as a long love letter, but i whittled it down until I realized the reason I couldn’t send it was because it didn’t have a title. But in a way, whittling down my takes is something this podcast has taught me.
I’ve been listening to this podcast since episode 17. I’ve listened to many, many other podcasts because of this show. Not just ones that feature current/past hosts or guests, but their recommendations.
When I had questions in life of how to gain foundational knowledge of engaging critically with games and media, how to develop leftist ideology and praxis, what it means to be a person who cares about making change when it seems so difficult - the people on this podcast had guidance. And through all of its seriousness, it makes people laugh, so deeply.
Their intro banter and question buckets are so special. They provide running narratives, gags, and platforms for some of the most intriguing conversations about the most mundane topics.
Their insight into video games is unmatched, and unflinching. The honesty of the takes and how they can develop or sharpen over time from each host is so insightful and refreshing. You can feel their energy when their having fun. It’s hilarious when the energy is punchy!
I’ve not really engaged with any of the hosts. But they’ve been my friends thru some of the most difficult times of my life. I owe much of who I am to this podcast about video games, home repair, and food-based personality quorums. 5-Star Podcast. 5 Star runtimes. I have no episode recommendations because you should listen to the whole backlog. There’s a gem in each one. FCGH. Keep changing lives.
Question:
What’s everyone’s favorite style of beer? Extra points if you can give me an example (spoiler I know Rob loves stouts and one of his stories convinced me to try the founders barrel aged malt liquor and… I mean he hit the nail on the head.)”

“It's not a bad podcast (actually in my opinion it is, but that's not a fair review), but it isn't a game review based podcast either - it's more philosophical and observational, but it's meandering and free form to (in my opinion) a fault, discussions remain open ended with no...”Read full review »

“Great premise, and can't wait to see what's next! Austin, and Patrick are some of the best video game critics out there, and provide great perspective about the social landscape around video games.”Read full review »

“Waypoint is now my #1 way of keeping track of games and gaming, after several years of being barely in touch with the hobby. The hosts are funny and thoughtful, inclusive and empathetic, and help me be excited about games in a way that works with my life.”
