The Besties Polygon

Fun for patient gamers and McElboy fans alike!

Let me be clear, Besties is not a “good podcast in any traditional sense. Its production value is low, it’s inconsistently structured, and occasionally entirely unfunny. But I love it with all my heart. All the hosts are great, I enjoy their humor and perspective, even when their jokes fall flat or their ideas are entirely unrelatable. I have listened and re-listened to this podcast to the point where it’s like a warm comforting blanket of awkwardly paced joy. It’s not the best video games podcast by any means, but it’s definitely my favorite.

My heart was in limbo when I was listening to the most recent episode thinking “Will this be the last one???” This show warms my heart. All four of you bring me relief and joy. I hope this doesn’t end so soon.
