Customer Reviews
Awesome show.
I'm the first to write a review for these guys? Really? Wow. Suprised more people haven't yet. Love the show. These guys are laid back and fun to listen to. Basically, if you like conversation about video games from people that are actually -interesting- to listen to, try em out. Btw, Super Smash Bros. Brawl FTW. Just throwing that out there.
I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.
Great show. It reminds me of the arguments my brother and I have. Only with many more references to iPhone Ocarina playing.
Just your average guys with a great podcast!
AJ and Mike really represent a true game player. They present excellent viewpoints on things going on in the gaming industry and really provide an "everyman" approach to gaming podcasts. They're 2 guys who aren't directly injected into the bloodstream of corporate gaming, and really make you feel like you could be sitting in the room having a conversation about video games like an average Joe. I look forward to listening every week, as it doesn't feel like I'm listening to sponsored podcasting. They're off the cuff and say whatever comes to mind. Great job guys!
