A gathering of pure video game enthusiasts

At times while listening to Insert Credit I have questioned who I am as a gamer but that's not bad thing. The level of love these people express for Videogames is exactly what earth needs. Funny
witty
smart
truthful

Best Video Games Podcast

This is by far my favorite video games podcast, mostly because all the hosts feel like they still enjoy playing video games. Smart commentary from some smart people. Game over yeah.
