Great classic arcade show
If you like classic arcade games (mainly bronze age and golden age) then you’ll certainly appreciate the show. There’s some cussin so might not want to play it if you have young ones or your momma present. Give it a listen. You won’t be disappointed.
Stop sniffling into the mic
Whoever is loudly sniffling their nose into the mic needs to stop. Great show otherwise.
Zaxx-off
Good podcast. The only thing stopping it from getting a 7-star rating is the language. Not enough cursing.
