Ha, Luna kicked it up a notch.

I worry about Ryan Scott sometimes... He's bound to snap sooner or later.

Next-Gen.biz is good. Also there's some Gamasutra ones that are entertaining. I heard the KOTOR (Yes the designer actually says it Cohtohr) conference and it was interesting.

90% of everything is crap, man. But the 10% that's good usually justifies the rest.

PC Gamer has its moments, except when Dan Morris is ranting about Jack Thompson and whenever Greg Vederman is hosting. The Vede sounds too much like Danny Bonaduce to me. So, basically 80-90% of the shows suck.

It does kill time on the bus.

I'll give props to Jeremy, the producer. Both PCG and OXM always sound really clean, and the file size is really small for 45+ minute shows.

One Life Left

1up, of course. EGM and GFW is occasionally good.

Rocky has a podcast?!?!?! I'm so there!

The playerone podcast http://playerone.libsyn.com/ is the only one I like and don't see here. Greg Sewart and Chris Johnston can be funny as hell sometimes. Three of the four guys are ex-game magazine editors so they can get away with talking about insider stuff and not get fired for it.

Thanks Scrobner for calling out The Best Damn Podcast Ever. I'll have to try it out this week.

I remain a gaming podcast whore. My current top five would be:

1) 1UP Yours - They often have some great inside info and Luke has really come into his own now that he's calmed down. Same with Shane, really. Too bad Garnett Lee often goes for what he must think are hard-hitting questions, but tends to come off as poorly informed and a bit of a bully. The guys keep having to talk him down, lately.

2) GFW Radio - Always fun, I love Heroes of the Web and Mr. Jeff Green.

3) Team Freemont Live - These guys cover the full spectrum of gaming news, impressions and more. Great chemistry, good production and just a lot of fun to listen to. Sometime they go off the deep end, but even that tends to be pretty amusing. The couch bandits are kind of filler though, but that could be my general lack of Shmupreciation.

4) Insomniac Games' Full Moon Show - The makers of Resistance and the Ratchet games now have a podcast. It's very open and entertaining, they also have some great surprise guests. The latest was David Jaffey, and he was good, as usual.

5) GDC Radio - Tom Kim does a great job with a deep, clean look at a ton of aspects of the game industry. His access to GDC conference feeds also serves him very well.

Just a note - Gaming Steve appears to have returned from his hiatus.

Hello all. Caught the link from here in our site referrals and just thought I'd post to say two things:

i) Thanks for listening, obviously, and,

ii) One Life Left isn't actually a podcast. Well, it sort of it, in that we MP3 it up and distribute it on the internet through iTunes, etc, but it's actually an OMG Real Life Radio Show that goes out weekly on London's Resonance 104.4FM. So that accounts for some things -- notably the accessibility, because we have an awful lot of listeners who aren't gamers.

Also, we're much better now than we were a year (or even three months) ago. That's a bonus point and a bit apologetic / self-aggrandizing so I'm not giving it a iii).

Anyway. Thanks. If you have questions or comments I'll check back here occasionally, etc, or there's a contact form on the site.

s!

I couldn't agree more about Garnett Lee. It is so odd, because once upon a time he sort of seemed like the voice of reason. Now I realize it was because he used to focus on hosting the show and keeping things moving along rather than trying to seriously participate in discussions. If you ask me he should have stuck with that, because he was good at it and it allowed him to bring something to the show that the other three (who are better informed and more clever than he is) don't. By trying to play at the things Luke, Shane, and John are good at, though, he has honestly just started sounding like a bit of a troll (particularly during their Shadowrun interview).

No need to be apologetic, Ste -- your show has been brilliant from the beginning. Sure, there was a bit of time when you didn't have your regular features, but I thought that you, Robert, and Ann did a wonderful job of keeping the show interesting even in their absence.

The only thing I would suggest is to make Ann Fiction a more regular feature. There is absolutely nothing funnier than a lady with a sexy British accent doing a dramatic reading of the dregs of internet fan fiction.

"Hello, this is Fedda. I'm just writing/calling/whatever you'd call it to say that Gaald is CLEARLY not the cutest person on the conference call, because that Certis is totally dreamy! Then again, from what I've read, it sounds like Rabbit might be the most buff...oh my! Have to go!"
