Great Listen

The hosts have fun easy chemistry and different but overlapping areas of expertise. Engaging presentation of informed, interesting, and unabashedly biased takes. It feels like listening to three smart funny friends talk about mostly video games. Probably because that’s what it is!
Kirk/Jason, pls figure your stuff out

Modva

Been a big Triple Click fan for a while, but the clear tension between Kirk and Jason is making this show unlistenable for me. They constantly interrupt each other, regularly taking offense at each other’s perspectives. Podcasts live and die in the health of the host relationships.
I Love this show

AMAZING SHOW! Keep it up, don’t listen to trolls 🧌 (looking at tozak and Popo Nono)
Rarely objective, often biased

Every episode is critical of AAA or even AA games. Particularly from Jason Schreier, who seems to only be complementary to “indie” games, and is almost critical of whatever game is popular for the time. Low rating because I simply just do not agree with a lot of the takes.
