Giant Bomb - great coverage, funny, not problematic. wide range of content, amazing chemistry, two awesome podcasts plus game mess mornings
Jeff Grubb - he brought me over to GB. the man. watch him and GB cover SGF and you’ll get it. man is talented and so charismatic. hes also got a couple more pods on his personal channel with known menace Mitch Minotti
∆honestly cant sing praise for these two enough
Noclip - AMAZING docs, great pod with passionate hosts.
Minnmax - just turned onto them recently after GB had some of them on the couch at SGF. good takes, nice people.
used to be really into spawncast and it’s member’s channels. not as much recently. spawnwave is still great but some of the group is overly negative which can be very grating over time. they do have good chemistry, still catch the pod sometimes. - that being said, spawnwave’s 20 min morning news digests aren’t a bad watch while you’re waking up and getting caffenated in the morning
Nate the Hate & MVG - part of the spawncast but they also do their own pod. Mature discussion of news and industry topics. MVG has a long history in the modding scene and is an active dev. Nate is some sort of insider, he protects his identity but i would imagine he’s in the industry. despite the name, he’s not overly negative.
~~there are def a few more but these are the ones that came to mind immediately. might add more as they come to me ~similar kinda thing but about content more geared towards entertainment i.e. dunkey, thorhighheels might be fun to do in the future
I still go back and listen through the original Arrow Pointing Down/Giant Bombcast up until Ryan’s passing. The age of the content makes it downright historically interesting now for their commentary on game releases.
The chemistry of those guys (Vinny and Brad included) is still untouchable, no one can rein Jeff in and play off him as well as Ryan did, and Ryan is by far my favorite person to ever grace that website and podcast, and rightfully so as it was his child with Jeff. Rest in peace.
