    Entry 2: Whoregasms

    In the spirit of escapism we travel back to a time when the world wasn’t halted due to a deadly virus - a time when things were much simpler and a few best friends could just hide away in their parent’s basement, play video games, and earn trophies!

The amazing spider girl ,

So fun!

I’m not good at writing reviews, but I really enjoyed listening! If you’ve come this far and see this review...you should probably just go ahead and listen

bmax2nd ,

Wonderful !

This podcast is a breath of fresh air ! I was expecting to hear about the ins and outs of what someone had to do to achieve a platinum. Instead we are learning how the platinum itself effects the individual. Genius !

Great podcast! (even if your not a gamer)

I’m 56 years old and haven’t been a gamer since wasting two weeks of my life playing Madden on Sega Genesis sometime in the 1980’s. (That timing is a guess.). The storytelling in this podcast is as good as any podcast I’ve listened to and I will be listening to all the episodes as they come out! Gives me a whole new understanding of why some of of younger friends and family are so into gaming. Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to catch up on your other podcasts.
