A podcast for thinking gamers
Edit after listening for 3 years: I haven't missed an episode; it's my favorite podcast. Everything from my original review is still true. NOTE: don't be turned off by the negative reviews talking about right wing propoganda. What they fail to mention is that these guys don't always agree with one another, and that is completely okay with each of them. I'd go so far as to say they're an exemplary model of how disagreements should be handled: with civility and respect. I don't agree with them on everything, but I always feel as if they're willing to listen to each other (and listeners) and not devolve into the standard knuckle-dragging vomiting of opinions that happen, well, everywhere these days. If you're an extreme liberal or conservative, you'll be turned off from time to time. If, however, you like engaging discussion and civil disagreement, then continue reading for why I think you may love this podcast. Original review: As a 40-yr old gamer who stopped gaming for a decade, my podcast time is limited, but WGC is a highlight of my week. Chris, Jon, and Shawn are each uniquely awesome. From Chris's analytical conversation starters to Jon's thought-provoking anecdotes, to Shawn's outbursts of 90's rock song hooks, WGC is a well rounded gaming discussion that never ceases to entertain and delight. After a few episodes, you'll belly laugh at their inside jokes (Nein! Nein! Nein!, Oooooooo!!!!!, Your mom's box!, Is it anecdotal??, Yer waaahf!!!!, It's beenawhile...); auspiciously, the humor is a result of comradery rather than contrivance (unlike so many other podcasts where clowning is the not-so subtle agenda). It really is like sitting in Chris's living room and overhearing three longtime friends talk about their gaming passion with vigor, balance, and a mutual respect for one another, even when there are disagreements. They cover all the platforms evenly with a well balanced mix of insight, news, and mom jokes. Their rabbit trails are often amusing, always absorbing, and never a waste of air waves. If you are a gamer who appreciates a smart conversation about the latest gaming news with the occasional sesquipedalian fodder sprinkled into the mix, prepare to be hooked on WGC. Thanks for a wonderful show, guys; keep up the great work and Game On!Read full review »
