I'll throw my hat in for the Super Best Friendscast too. I've been listening to it for a while, but it recently found its way into being in my main lineup of shows(I have basically a schedule of things I listen to nightly at work) instead of being an interloper that only rated a listen when there wasn't something more compelling. The guys are definitely super enthusiastic and it's nice to hear people be genuinely excited about their favorite hobby. The show does come with an anime trigger warning, as they bring it up pretty frequently, but they introduced me to Attack on Titan so that's a win in my book. :3:

The PVP in Dark Souls 2 is a blast. Meet me on the Iron Keep bridge and dragon duel me, bros.

On a related note, are there any podcasts (other than maybe the Bombcast?) that have fighting games on the radar as anything more than a curiosity?

The Super Best Friendcast!

I'm going to +1 the recommendations people have made for Super Best Friendscast. I had written them off for a long time because the two best friends play videos on Machinima are kind of obnoxious. If you�re on a similar boat don�t let that stop you from checking out their podcast. Yes they can be a little shouty at times, but they have a genuine enthusiasm for video games that is infectious to listen to. They also cover certain games that I find are a little underrepresented on other gaming podcasts. ie � fighting games

Also, since they play a boatload of videogames you never run in to that thing other video games podcasts run in to where it�s been a week but half the crew didn�t manage to play anything, or they don�t have anything interesting to say because they plugged a couple hours in to a game just to have something to talk about on the podcast. They never sound like they�re tired from having to play a video game. They�re the antithesis to that feeling. It�s refreshing.

More hype for the Friendcast is always good to see. It's definitely one of my favorite games casts now, I'm always looking forward to the new episode coming out. Also the newest episode where they went full Bombcast(energy drink reviews and talking about the Lang Zone) was hilarious.

I pretty much am only interested in Wash_Dogs for the invasion multiplayer. Could I pretty much hop into it immediately, or do I have to do a whole bunch of campaign content first?

Dan Ryckert is a national treasure and Giant Bomb is now as good as it's been since we lost the Nacho Boss. Dan is like a bubble boy/Jeff Jr. with even worse opinions and it's amazing.

Been using Downcast on my iPhone since it was recommended to me on this very thread. I grabbed Overcast when it was released but I really like the functionality of Downcast so I came back to it really quickly.

I went through a stage of being annoyed by Dan, but some of the things he struggles with and his attempt at cooking egg whites makes me think that he may have some genuine developmental issues and now I just feel sad that Jeff tried to hire a new Ryan and ended up with Dan

Those two videos posted a few pages ago are incredible, particularly the second one about the "Sarkeesian Effect" documentary because one of the guys featured in it looks like Neil Strauss mixed with Kane from C&C. If you ever wanted to summarise the bizarre backlash to this with a single image, I'd just post his picture.

That is amazing.

I stopped listening to the Bombcast when Dan said he couldn't eat Tomatoes in any form other than ketchup and that they were disgusting.
I had the sudden realization that I was putting time aside to listen to a grown man whine about his bizarre eating habits and I could find anything better to do with my time.

Dan owns because he elicits posts like this.

You realize you do exactly the same thing as they do - picking the games not on their own merit, but on political agendas of their creators?

It's fine. Nothing special, he just interviews someone who wrote a review on a game about their experiences with that game. The episodes are like twenty minutes long so it's not a big commitment, just don't go in expecting a pinnacle of modern art.

I really can't overstate how proud I am of everyone involved in Duckstream, from all the folks streaming to the donors and viewers that gave up sleep to stick around. It was really an awesome time and for an amazing cause. I'm legit proud to say that I donated to it, you guys are all amazing.

Minor or petty thing to get annoyed about, sure. But not a weird thing. I mean, there's a word for people who listen to things already, and there's no reading involved in the process. It'd be easier to let it go if I knew there was a story behind it and it wasn't just ignorance.

I'm pretty sure it's because Idle Thumbs used to be a website where people would read articles too.
