A must listen if you enjoy video games

Great podcast! Manages to be both charming, funny and insightful.

It’s US!

Yeah, it’s you. You don’t need to repeat that, ironically. It’s why we even listen to you. Thanks for your views. You’re very clearly JRPG console children. All power to you! I very much appreciate your smart and funny views and kinda buy games just from out of your recommendations (Hades) and love them, because you’re brilliant! Your tastes, sometimes though…

I’m sorry, you’re likely milllennials and elders to your audience. Sorry. My bad.

Insightful

I never listened to split screen but I jumped on this from the beginning. Insightful and thought-provoking discussions about video-games and I can't get enough. It's cool to see a bit behind the scenes of video-game journalism. The takes and perspectives the hosts offer helps me engage more productively with the games I play.
