Steph, Laura, and Conrad are hilarious, provide excellent insights into video games, and cover critical news in the video game sphere. If one of them is enjoying a game it deserves your attention. Just like I never miss a Monday, I never miss a Thursday.

This podcast makes me proud to be a gamer. I love Stephanie, Laura, and Conrad so much. My heroes!

And the one guy talks all the time and interrupts Jim and Conrad all the time. You can skip the last 10 minutes of every podcast since all they do is promote their sites and ebeging. Woman in gaming???? They are not woman!

Amazing podcast, love you guys!

I really enjoy the irreverent but engaging discussions on this show.

Every videogame podcast out of the corporate media, and many independent ones too, involve huge amounts of dickriding: fawning over Ubisoft and ABK without so much as even acknowledging the exploitation which regularly occurs at those companies. The folks here actually understand the human cost of making games, and never dickride a company’s marketing department for fear of not getting a preview copy of a game. They simply say it how it is. Thank god for them! Bonus points for heaps of body fluid jokes too.

One of the few podcasts that have made me come back every week!

Used to listen every week. But since Gavin left and Conrad took over, I’ve slowly stopped listening. I just don’t like most of the games Conrad plays/talks about, and the entire dynamic has gone in a much more negative direction.

My dissection of a typical episode of the greatest video games podcast: Part 1: Steph, Laura, and Conrad talk for 10-20 minutes about a topic that interests them this week in a desperate but futile attempt to avoid talking about video games. Part 2: Laura brings up the topic of video games and the cast talk about what they’ve been playing recently, offering reviews both positive and critical about games old and new. Part 3: After a robust conversation about what makes video games fun, the cast start looking at current video game news and become incredibly depressed. Part 4: Plugs.

I still love Laura and Stephanie to death, but Conrad joining the show has taken the tone in a more mean spirited direction than I’m a fan of. Yes, gaming news is worse than its ever been, but there has to be a balance instead of a negativity vortex. Gavin provided some balance and calm, Conrad brought neither and it’s to the detriment of the show. Instead of listening to the podcast I’ll catch Laura and Stephanie on YouTube.
