Every other week, we dive deep into gaming industry topics and host light-hearted conversations around our favorite video games.
With a combined 15 years of video game content creation, Luke Lewis (LukeWarmGames), Joseph Hooper (Player Player Podcast & Can’t Pause) and Jacob McCourt (Left Behind Game Club, The Gaming Brief & Video Game Trivia) publish their gaming group chat in audio form. The gang is here to break down the latest and greatest in the world of gaming with a mostly positive, insightful and fun style. New episodes release every other Tuesday at 9am PST.
