Customer Reviews
Listened to it today while @work - great stuff!
Even though I don't know a tenth of what you're talking about it was great stuff. My gaming has been quite dormant for some time. All the banter made me think of the Vector-based home game system which I coveted in my youth: "VECTREX." Never even saw it in person, only in catalogs!
Great hearing you guys and your sense of humor especially! Am looking forward to more.
Thank you for an excellent games podcast. Will listen to again. A++.
I've been listening for a few weeks and this is the best podcast about videogames to which I subscribe. The production values rival some of the 'professional' podcasts I currently have on iTunes. My favorite thing about this podcast is that the content is relevant and there aren't and 'inside' jokes amongst the team. Instead, the jokes they make are about games, magazines and obscure titles I've actually forgotten about. The team works really well with each other and the result is a highly satisfying podcast about videogames. I couldn't be happier and, please, keep it up!
Highly entertaining and informative!
These guys have a great chemistry together and really keep the podcast going strong! A great place to get video game info and just "geek" out for an hour a week!
