Customer Reviews
Very funny!
Chris Kohler (and to some extent Baker) are very entertaining in this video podcast. Each episode has been better than the previous one. I eagerly await each new episode, and honestly think they can increase the frequency of this podcast. Now that he's doing commentary on old games as well, the material is endless. Chris and Chris are very funny as they banter back and forth. Keep it coming Chris!!!
Very cool
Kohler has been needing his own podcast dor a while now. And a video podcast no less
Awesome!
Chris Kohler is easily one of the best game writers out there right now.
