We'll me and some friends of mine have been fans of numerous podcasts/video game shows/news (i.e. 1up show, noobtoob, co-op,gamespots' reviews) I noticed this is an ever increasing trend. I think it's because of how alot of these podcasts go beyong just reviewing the game(which i find kinda boring) they have gamers instead talking about thier experiences with the games they have played and tell it in thier own opinion!

But I'm quite interested to see how much you guys like podcasts and if you listen to them!

I ask this because me and 3 close friends recently decided to do a podcast and start up a site. And we have all never done this before. But our passion for games and the love of just speaking and voicing out our opinions on the games we play is almost vital to us. It soothes and relieves our gaming spirit so to speak.

So I guess my two questions to you guys is.. Do you listen to podcasts and what do you like/dislike about them?

If you would like to check out our site (we recently reviewed Borderlands) and see games we've reviewed come check out our site! www.secondplaythrough.com WE WOULD LOVE to hear your guys comments, even if you think it sucks let us know! We'd like to hear other peoples opinions on things, and we respect them too. So check us out!

Yeah, advertising is kind of against the rules. Might wanna edit that out. Though on topic, I do enjoy podcasts every week.

If the podcast is something you are interested in, then yeah they can be great things. The only podcast I use is the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe.

I listen to the Giant Bombcast every week. :)

I wanna listen to Never Not Funny but it isn't free, and I refuse to pay for podcasts.

Podcasts are mostly outlets for one individuals ego. Occasionally they are more than that.

I listen to three podcasts everyweek, including the HotSpot and the Bombcast. They're quite entertaining although I'm a week behind :lol: need to catch up.

Cool. I've never listened to Giant Bombcast, I think I will check them out some time.

It seems a lot of you like podcasts and watch them weekly too! I personally think weekly are pretty healthy for both the audience and the podcasters. I wonder if there are any daily podcasts, if so, how popular are they? :question:

I listen to about 10. Some are weekly but most aren't.

The best I've ever heard though was A Life Well Wasted. It's beyond what I could have ever hoped for. It's downright genius.
