What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Just discovered the podcast and my first listen was Red Dead 2. Really good, in depth, fun discussion about the game. However, have to deduct a star for Tom’s extreme over use of “honestly” and “not gonna lie”. He actually said “honestly” as I was typing this review. Please stop. We believe you!!

This is the perfect podcast for any gamer that wants to know about games, but doesn’t have the time to play it. Serves as a great way to connect with the video game community. Rating: 5 Stars Category: Games; Humor; Opinion

Never would I have imagined listening and learning in such a funny , positive way! Tom and Andrea’s unique insights, knowledge, or perspectives help you get into the story and appreciate the game. They dive into the store and plot of the games like no one else does. Their chemistry and banter when storytelling makes everything more interesting. Buying a video games for my daughter after listening made me a hero!

Mom’s, Moments, and Martinis · Sep 2023

I’ve listened to about 4 or 5 episodes now. In one of them, I believe Andrea called what you do “video game audio books” which is accurate and very enjoyable. My problem is that there is way too much banter, especially during the telling of the plot; this disrupts the flow and takes me out of the game. I find this happens more when It’s Tom’s episode then Andrea’s (but still happens in both). Also, the banter seems kind of goofy and unnatural at times. A lot of giggling and laughing when it doesn’t need to be there, unnecessary vocal modulation. It almost sounds like is a podcast for children, UNTIL you hear the cussing (which I strongly approve of lol). Now onto the good! I love the fun facts and history about the development before the telling of the plot. That information is really important when knowing the success or un-success of a game. And I love the chemistry between you two overall. Please don’t trash me, I understand this is your baby and you can do whatever you want, just some points to think about. I will definitely continue listening. Love from Las Vegas
