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?

    I haven’t followed any gaming news since Totalbiscuit passed away.

    If anyone has a suggestion that fills that gap then I’d love to hear it, but I doubt there is :/

      Yup, I do miss the “TGS Co-Optional Podcast” too. I’m still listening to “Cox & Crendor in the morning” but it’s something of a nostalgia trip.

      You could give “The Jeff Gerstmann Show” a try. He’s been running a solo operation since he was fired from Giant Bomb last year. His insights into the video game industry are second to none, even though the solo act might not be to everybody’s taste.

      Oh man this comment sent me down a Totalbiscuit nostalgia rabbit hole.

      I’m surprised that I can’t find some of the stuff I thought I remembered… like, didn’t he play some kind of battle royal game before fortnite and PUBG? I remember a specific clip of him and a buddy laughing their heads off as a poison smoke ring closed in on him (unarmed or just an axe or something) and another player (armed with a much better weapon) - and he wins by running into the smoke and bandaging.

      Not sure if that was total biscuit but I know a lot of funniest videos from that time were usually him

      Same I’ve searched and haven’t found any. And he was such a strong advocate for quality PC ports too, which has also not been filled. He was great. And I discovered so many indies titles through his videos.
