Nate and crew make an awesome show. I enjoy how strait to the point he is and pulls no punches.

I used to listen to checkpoint XP religiously. Loved listening to the gaming news, reviews, and the normal banter between them all. After Nate left it never felt the same and ultimately it is no more. Went awhile with no real consistent news in the gaming industry. Well, now I do. This is everything you want it to be. It’s Nate in all his glory, and even some cameos from the likes of landis and weird beard. Thanks for doing what you do and keep it up. I’ll be subscribed and listening as long as you keep going.

After FIVE hundred episodes, Let’s Play has sanded off the edges it barely ever had. Three top stories daily with a weekly Friday rundown. Concise facts flavored with sharp-witted analysis. The worst thing about this podcast is that there isn’t more of it, but everyone deserves a couple days off and our favorite audiomancer is no exception. Update: I’ve felt compelled to lower the show’s rating due to less-consistent episodes having been a factor for several months, and while mitigation measures such as guest hosts have been occasionally used - and excellently so - they have not been used consistently, which I’d encourage when Nate cannot host as usual. Note this is a critique of a core factor of the show, though, and not of the people who make it — I am looking forward to returning that last star to my next review, after the show returns to fully executing on its 5-day-weekly schedule.

Longtime listener of yours since LBR 1.0, but after your political rant the other day Im done sitting back listening to your leftist piehole berate people for having a different view than you do. Yes its a 5 min podcast but you find ways to jab in your leftist ways. Hope you learn your way isnt always the right way. Zahan from bahamut server.

I’ve been listening for a while now and i have to say the audio quality and news covered has greatly improved. I’ll continue to listen for as long as this show is listed

I’ve been looking for daily news podcasts and Let’s Play scratches that itch. Rather than just reading gaming company press releases the host takes his time to cover stories on the business side of gaming as well as the fun side. Production quality is high and I feel more informed after every daily episode. Thanks Nate.

Out standing research !!!

The only negative thing I have to say about this podcast is that I wish it was longer! I enjoy getting a daily dose of what’s going on in the gaming world and Nate is the perfect guy to deliver it. Been a fan of Nate’s since discovering him on Checkpoint Radio some years ago. Whether I agree or not I always appreciate Nate’s perspective on things. I Definitely recommend this!

Killing it on the headlines and quick run-throughs of news in gaming and the gaming industry, especially for someone like myself who works multiple jobs, has kids, and is always on the go, feeling like they don’t have time to enjoy long-form podcasts like they used to. I’ve been listening to you since 2014 with LBR, their spin-offs, and the eventual start of Checkpoint; when I found this and saw you were the host, had to give it a try and as always you didn’t disappoint. Last week especially was great hearing Kali’s and Robbie’s voices again — felt like old friends getting back together again that I’d missed for a while! Enough of the nostalgia-dump: love the knowledge you bring each episode, the brief but informative format it’s done in, and look forward to each episode every weekday before work. Keep it up!

This podcast is getting better and better each day. Nate keeps the stories short and sweet hitting on all the issues and putting a little of his own opinions in them.
