The Computer Game Show

James and the gang somehow manage to talk absolute nonsense and be insightful about games—sometimes in the same sentence. It’s like eavesdropping on your funniest mates arguing about what console is best, but with fewer pints and more sound effects. A cracking listen. 5 stars, even for David.

Listened forever. Simply the best. Ignore the other reviews; there’s hardly any politics. Listened for years and gives 2 stars. Having a laugh! Or is this reflective of James that plays games he hates to the end!

It’s alright

Though ostensibly about computer gaming, though only one of the quartet actually uses a computer to game and he is obviously the star of the show, this podcast is basically a British middle-aged male omni-shambles. This rambling and the seemingly random subject matter allows for some mickey-taking that eventually arrives at somebody appearing to be very annoyed, and this is so symptomatic of male bonding within this nation that it always feels like a real friendship exposed to an audience. As I am somewhat older than the quartets members it reminds me of friendships past, always fondly. But is it any good? Good is subjective and I’d let you decide, but I have a very fond spot for its 2 hours of merrymaking on a Wednesday. Never stop gents, or your loyal fans will haunt you via the socials.
