Digital Foundry Direct Weekly

Love listening to every episode

Great podcast to throw on while getting ready in the morning, eating lunch, or driving to get some groceries. It's fun to hear the crews thoughts on the newest gaming news or trends as it gives me the illusion I still have time to enjoy this hobby ◔̯◔

The digital foundry crew is a smart bunch. So it’s wildly frustrating when they miss obvious points and evidence in front of them in lieu of going into pointless weeds and the weirdest hot takes you’ve heard this side of Twitter. Most of the analysis of this podcast is reasonable, well considered, and articulated well. Sometimes even funny. I love the DF videos. But the podcast is, in the parlance of the DF world, an unsteady 30fps with bad frame pacing. Even years later, the podcast remains awkward, silted, and a lot of the considerations seem just so narrow minded, it feels like we are listening to a totally different set of people. This is most evident with the second half of every episode, where the DF crew takes on listener questions and spends about twenty minutes telling someone they’re wrong. It’s tedious at best and dreadfully boring at worst. I keep listening for the great insight that you can’t get anywhere else in the industry.

I can’t get enough of this crew. They are masters of their craft, and we are lucky to have them.
