Great Hangout Vibes

Fun podcast covering a wide variety of video game topics, including interviews with creators and current events in the industry. The roster of hosts is especially strong - Ed, Corey, Stephanie, LeRon, Celeste and more are reliably insightful and gregarious.

IAmCoreyInHD ,

Awesome Video Game Podcast!

An awesome podcast that everyone should jump on. Kind of casual but up to date, this show just feels like friends talking about games they love. Corey, Ed, LeRon, and the crew make this show feel real.

HazelNoon ,

"I haven't played it but..."

"I haven't played "Elden Route" but in my opinion it doesn't deserve a 10"
If you haven't played the game that's not an opinion, that's just a bias. I understand what you thought you were saying about Breath of the Wild haven broken ground comparatively, but you have no basis for saying other reviews are wrong without trying the game
