Grumpy Old Gamer - comments, criticisms? What do you think?

[Al]

This weekend I decided to start a podcast. (Some of you may know I already have a podcast, but why have one when you can have two?).

This is Grumpy Old Gamer - gog.fm

About Grumpy Old Gamer
We’re not here to sell you hype, pretend everything is amazing, or gush over the latest sequel to a sequel of a rebooted franchise that should’ve stayed dead. We’ve been gaming since before tutorials existed, and we’ve got opinions. Lots of them. Some even make sense.

Grumpy Old Gamer is a podcast for people who remember when games came in boxes, DLC wasn’t day-one extortion, and ‘early access’ wasn’t code for ‘you’re paying to beta test this broken mess.’ We talk about games, the old, the new, the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between, with the kind of blunt honesty that PR departments hate.

Episodes are irregular because we have lives, jobs, and extremely short attention spans. When we do show up, expect sarcasm, swearing (mild), grumbling, and strong feelings about game mechanics that no one else cares about.

This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. Sometimes the old stuff was better. Sometimes it wasn’t. Either way, we’re here to grumble about it like the aging, controller-wielding curmudgeons we are.

Real opinions. No fake hype. Some actual insight… eventually.

Seems interesting, I like how everything is honest and you're not getting paid to promote any game. It's just your honest opinion of the game(s) and whether or not you'd recommend them. I'm not a huge gamer myself, I honestly still play N64 for the most part but your videos do sound like something I would watch to get an idea of a game and whether or not it's even worth playing.

I look forward to seeing the games that you choose to review.

Nice!

I’ve got a game you should try.

No One Lives Forever.

As someone who prefers to play retro games and think all games should continue to be released physically I'll definitely have to give your podcast a listen to! I look forward to hearing what you've got to say about games! I love seeing the Super Hang On and Golden Axe footage in your video!

Awesome project idea. I dropped you a follow on BlueSky and on Spotify. Hopefully I get to catch up your rants some time.
Also, I really enjoyed that teaser trailer. Best of luck with it!!
