Old Gamer’s Almanac

Been listening since go (SCPT transplant), but this recent episode on Slay the Spire 2 had me rolling - Spire is and will always be bae <3 Love the energy, discovered new games and genres through you guys, and like so many, am mildly dismayed by the harsh judgement of Halo 3... Despite that, love the show, the rotation of guests works really well, and as an aging gamer myself, this look back format deserves a chef’s kiss. Hope to catch you guys on a game one day, keep up the excellent work gentlemen.

great UFO 50 discussion #ThatsWhatsUp #HereTake5Stars

OGA is a fun tour through the annals of gaming in the past 50ish years! Hunter and Matt do a wonderful job of highlighting forgotten gems of gaming in passionate and insightful ways. They don’t take themselves or their opinions too seriously, but rather try to keep the atmosphere fun and informative! I love their guests! EJ and Sun being the most often reoccurring guests, but they’re all great, and do a great job of preventing things from becoming stale. Matt and Hunter also come up with fun topics and varied episode formats that accomplish the same goal. They always seem to be asking themselves “How can we highlight important games in a fun, interesting, and new way for the listener?” They’ve introduced me to so many amazing games I’d never played before (*cough* Celeste 🐐 *cough*) and I’m so grateful for that. It’s really fun to play along! Another nice thing is that you can start pretty much anywhere in the podcast’s backlog of episodes. I recommend finding an episode about one of your favorite games and hitting “Play”! Don’t worry, even when they don’t like a game, they’re still respectful of the work that went into it and the kids whose childhood the game may have been a part of. Thanks so much guys! Keep up the good work!

If you ever do the weekly StarCraft UMS podcast- I would tune in regularly!
