A video game podcast with unique perspectives that doesn't just repeat received wisdom!

The kind of game discussions I crave. Get some more notes at the ready and maybe new music and this could be the Citations Needed of games podcasts.

Honestly it’s easy to listen to, but my main problem with the podcast stems from two things: 1. They lack nuance in their discussions. They have no mediator and neither play devil’s advocate enough to present the “other side” of the argument. Thus, they speak in certainties and it can be annoying to listen to them trample over something that I, a listener, may believe. That said, it’s their podcast so they can say what they want. On that note... 2. These dudes definitely make stretches when finding allegories, metaphors, symbolism, etc in their discussions of games. For example, they said that Star Wars was 100%, without a doubt, extremely racist... but when I searched what they talked about I have no idea what they were referring to. But it’s like, cmon now, Star Wars isn’t racist. Unless it involves the China-poster stuff with John Boyega. But that’s Disney’s fault not the Star Wars franchise. Again easy to listen to, despite being all over the place. But I wish they had someone else to challenge their thoughts/ideas/statements so they can explain/defend their position a bit better. It’s new so I have hope for improvement!
