Customer Reviews
Good but inconsistent
Very insightful and clear cut episode format! Only problem is their inconsistent releases. Though this is understandable with thing in the hosts personal lives preventing a consistent schedule. One thing I wanted to to was praise their episode with gabby, though I was disappointed that they ignored the religious discrimination that happens especially to Christians in the video game community. It seem that hitting every minority group except for them showed a bit of discrimination on their own part.
