Triple Click

I’ve been casually searching for a nice gaming podcast to tune into. The vast majority are 3 or 4 meatheads making stupid inside jokes and talking very surface level. They seem to basically exist for gamers to form parasocial bro relationships, not to actually learn more about gaming or enrich the way they look at video games. Not this one! The hosts actually have thoughtful and comprehensive conversations about different games and gaming-related topics. I can’t believe there aren’t more thoughtful gaming podcasts out there. I’m happy that this one exists, at least! 😂😎🤟

They are fun and articulate and pretty concise. They pick great topics. Good background between a critic/editor, games journalist and former critic.

They begin every episode seemingly surprised that they’re doing another episode, despite being years into this. Love it. Perhaps my longest running parasocial relationship.

Okay. I listen to and love every episode but what got me to update my review is the rec of Xbplay for Steam Deck. I bought it and tried instantly the hardest thing I could think of to see if it would crash and fail and then adjust my hopes from there. I loaded up fifa rush (5v5) online play. It was super smooth and almost no lag. Won the game even! Can’t wait to dive into some game pass games from the comforts of my steam deck. Anyway, been listening since episode one and before. Here’s my old review…: “Split Screen is over. One less podcast in my too full feed. I was okay with that, maybe even happy about it. Unfortunately for me, I stumbled upon an ad for Triple Click and remembered how much I loved their takes, banter, and music selections. Annoyed subscribe.”
