“Podcasts” are a beautiful thing when done correctly, although I feel I could probably never do anything as entertaining as a podcast for myself, I feel its fun to be judgmental when another person or group can’t do it good enough to amuse me. I’ve tried to listen or watch to nearly every single video game site podcast, netcast, vidcast, video reviews, whatever it may be and I couldn’t get through a single one of them. Listening to extremely stupid jokes or someones bastardization of the facts they are reading off a cue card is just not what the glory of podcasts are all about.
The Cheapass Gamer CAGCast as its called does exactly what i want it to. A show that is actually real, although there is an outline, there is no script and love it or hate it (I love it) it shows. There is an extreme lack of character in all these other podcasts, when you aren’t passionate about what you do, I don’t think you can have character. When two guys who generally love video games get together and talk, I feel like I’m just chatting with my friends and thats how it should be. The only thing that I’d change to make this podcast perfect instead of great would be a slightly differing opinion of the hosts (they both scoff at Japanese RPGS, which is my favorite genre of game), but otherwise I’m extremely satisfied.
I listened to every single podcast these guys have put out in a year in just over 2 weeks, and when I caught up to the current, I was still frothing for more, and now I await eagerly for the next installment.
I was afraid writing in here would be a waste of time because its only for myself, but it really does relieve stress.
