MINDGAMEZ

I heard about MINDGAMEZ when the boys made a guest appearance on Programmed to Chill and quickly added them to the p-cast p-list rotes (a little inside baseball term for podcast playlist rotation). Parapolitics and video games is an ambitious crossover and they pull it off well. I personally think you have to have a meandering conversation to make coherent connections between the two topic and that the world deserves to hear the uncut 3-4 hour recordings I assume the episodes start out as. I'd even subscribe to a patreon for that raw content. But please, CJ, back off the mic a bit. I'm from the south too, so I get it; you get rowdy when you're hanging with your boys. I'm just trying to relax before bed and listen to y'all talk about how the episode's game is hypotizing its players while I stay up too late hypotized by Civ 6 or WoW and I have to scramble to turn down the volume so I don't wake up my gf or my cats. Still 5 stars. Also, I believe it's totally legal to make threats against people as long as you add 'in Minecraft' to the end. It's like 'allegedly'. I'm not a lawyer but people tell me I give good advice and I gotta go with my gut here.

The boys are amazing, the riffs and deep dives are always entertaining and insightful, and they touch on games that were really influential to a lot of us growing up. I cannot recommend this show more highly than I can, 10/10
