I’m looking for some recommendations for things to listen to or casually watch to stay ‘in the loop’ on the standout games of the year, hear discussion of good games in general, feed my video game fan soul but not just about the newest latest thing.
I figured this group might know of good spots to look.
What are your favorites?
Piggybacking off that, Nextlander is a great pod/crew as well. It’s composed of 3 other folks that split off of Giantbomb. They have a good chemistry after 15+ years of working together and being in the industry. One word of caution, they’re 40 something dudes, so it’s a little more mellow than a lot of gaming personalities and prone to some pretty funny tangents that are not gaming related.
I gotta start listening to more Nextlander, but I don’t have the time in my week for all the podcasts coming out. I wish they’d guest on each other’s shows, I yearn for that Endurance Run Jeff and Vinny energy.
Vinny is clutch with everybody. I think he low-key is the best gaming journalist out there. Never steals the spotlight and “yes, and’s” with the best of em. Nextlander is one of my weekly must listens. I am so happy they found their footing after the split.
Also, Alex just bought a house and I am so ready for the “Vinny coaches someone through the basics of homeownership moments” he’s a goddamn treasure.
