ChampionOfLight ,

Great podcast!

I don’t normally leave reviews but really confused about the posted one - I encountered none of what was being claimed.

John B., Esq. ,

Toxic trash

A really toxic and reactionary pod. I can’t tell if the angry gamer shtick is real or if they are just trying to build some (awful) brand. I recommend avoiding this one.

Ryumoau ,

meh...

I listened to about 2 episodes and its too painful to listen to anymore. Its just a bunch of gay guys with obnoxious accents whining about games. At least thats the case when they aren't talking about irrelevant personal life stuff.
