So yesterday I had a great time driving around to different ice cream parlors to mock all the fat people, and between parlors, I listened to
Mike & Ryan's Talk About Games and it was actually pretty good. I'd say it's the best show on the channel, since it's plain as day to see that Mike really is passionate about video games and can talk a mile a minute about just about anything he's enjoyed. He has chemistry with Ryan, and they bounce off of each other pretty well. They talked about two games I've never played and know barely anything about, and still enjoyed it quite a bit. I'll never play Mechwarrior 5 because it's just one of those games that's absolutely not for me, and I have no interest in playing any kind of mech game unless I get to use something crazy like the giant Steel Battalion controller:
(this also has three foot pedals)
Something I've wanted for a very very very long time is a good gaming podcast where the hosts don't break out into little spergfits over current events, and you'd think that would be a trivial thing to find, but its been outright impossible over the past several years now. Like, it's retarded how many gaming podcasts just turn into audio versions of Kotaku, with the hosts hyping up the capeshit du jour, talking about what toys they bought that week, and then getting uncomfortably preachy about left-wing politics. This stuck strictly to the games and that's all I could really ask for.
There's nothing I could really even make fun of, no weird gaffs or signs of burnout or anything, Mike and Ryan actually seem to be having a great time and there's even one point near the end of the episode where they make fun of pedantic faggots on Twitter near the end and it's pretty funny:
So if you're like me and you really enjoy hearing guys discussing video games that they actually really enjoy and seem excited to discuss, give it a shot, and I'm giving this one a
9/10 excellent work boyz ya dun gud
