8-4 Play - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Been listening for about 6 years now, still my favorite podcast. Besides overall excellent gaming discussion also really enjoy the off topic slice-of-life talk regarding living in Japan in general.

8-4 Play is a wonderful podcast by a video game localization company in Japan. Each cast member has their own personality, there's ton of Japanese games talk, and a fair bit of humor. I've been listening since the start, and I look forward to new episodes every other week.

I honestly get so pumped whenever I hear the intro to your podcast. Each week you guys bring the energy and get me excited as if E3 is only a week away, and that's not an easy thing to do. You guys always make my dream of one day joining the industry seem that much closer. Thank you so much for doing what you do.

2017 is shaping up to be one of the best years ever for video games and I love following along with what people are playing by listening to this podcast. It gives a great Japan-focused overview of the industry and is super-fun.

A gaming podcast covering a lot more then most and longer then standard 1 hour podcasts is great. But the "friend of the show" humblebrag name dropping makes me want stop and skip sections. Bleep or edit them out please.

I really enjoyed this show early on but the political talk is just too much. I come to be entertained and listen to life in Japan and video games. Instead every episode they go into politics, and how many times do I have to hear why you’re no longer on X aka Twitter and only on Blue Sky. Great, just tell me where you’re at to find your messages, I don’t care why you left one for another. If someone caught one episode in the past 2 years they would know why, it doesn’t need to be repeated. Nobody cares. Otherwise this is a fantastic show, pick on Gabe less too.
