Thanks, Escapist :-)

Often a bit ramble-y, but the hosts have great chemistry and really know their stuff. Many thanks for a good show, guys.
If, like me, you also like this, be sure to check out The Escapist on YouTube & their own website, too.

Meh

I’m a huge fan of Yahtzee, but this just doesn’t work. Yahtzee sounds like he’d literally rather be doing anything else and has no chemistry with the other hosts. Increasingly, more than half of each episode involves reading superchats that are either cloying or refer to something one of the hosts said half an hour before and no longer remembers.

I really wanted to like it because I’ve loved everything Yahtzee has done but it feels pained and forced.

Really great podcast

I really enjoy the podcast. It’s insightful, entertaining and I look forward to each episode every week.

One thing that is an absolute nuisance now though is the repeating of the same advert about Anchor. I don’t mind the adverts being in the show to support but please record a new Anchor advert. To have the same advert come up twice or sometimes three times in the same show is just so dull. I actually actively skip pass them now and I don’t usually bother with that.
