Customer Reviews
And I thought that other podcast based on a video game podcast was good
Then I listned to the JBAC and my life was forever changed. Sure, that one really good looking guy has a somewhat low quality mic, but I hear he's getting a new one for episode 5 and that's going to be really really awesome. Starting that episode, I'll definitley listen to each episode twice so I can fully appreciate the golden words streaming into my eardrums.
Life is good again.
I lived a life of unhappiness and solitude. The Joystiq Biomass Something or Another changed everything forever. Where else can I listen to nerds make fun or nerds for loving Pokemon? Tell me that!
The best podcast that talks about xbox indie games!
Okay, so maybe it's the only one that discusses xbox indie games, but that's by no means a slight against a hilarious and entertaining podcast!
