Games Podcasts

[Custard]

Could any of you saucy lot recommend any decent podcasts on games?

I listen to Midlife Gamer on occasion, but have found it pretty samey and tiresome lately. It's certainly the most listenable games podcast I've found, mind, and the two hosts are likeable and knowledgeable enough

Currently trying out the GamesRadar UK podcast, which is new (it's up to episode five) and it seems enjoyable enough so far, if a little dull and rambling

Is it just me, or is there really not that many quality, fun, interesting podcasts on the subject? Could anyone recommend a good 'un?

I do one, but it's shit.

There should be a CaB one where I basically explain why everyone else is wrong and that gaming has never exceeded Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse on the Sega Master System.

A Life Well Wasted only ran for six episodes but I really liked it. Not really that much about games though.

Also listen to retronauts on 1up pretty regularly, which is okay, again not about recent games at all though, old games and their memories of them and so on.

Basically, I'm a lot more interested on things relating to games like memories and lifestyles and so on than anything to do with new ones

Destructoid do an online tv show and a podcast that are quite good. Revision3 ( the parent company) do a whole raft of online tv shows about all sorts actually. Not bad for wasting a few hours...

One Life Left - a great podcast, for gamers, but not necessarily a great podcast for gamers.

RebelFM and PCGamerUK have pretty good discussions. Like all good podcasts, chemistry is important.

I quite like Nerdist's The Indoor Kids, though I find that it's quite dependent on who their guest is. The Paul Scheer one where he discusses owning the alternate universe of popular gaming is rather good.

I'd listen to it. Each week a different board member has a go at changing your mind and fails.

Fixed that one for you, matey.

[madhair60]

I'm not ok with this.

With what?

I quite like Gamecast from MSN.

It's specifically a playstation one, but I sometimes enjoy the PSM3 podcast, it's tied in with the magazine, but it can be interesting and amusing, partly depending on who's on it.

Listening to this now, the hosts seem kinda clueless, Scheer seems to know way more than them.
The nerdists whole schtick annoys me in general though.

I won't lie, I was mildly outraged when Dan Harmon had to explain to them what Minecraft was.

[Custard]

Cheers everyone for your recommendations. I will be seeking them all out!

I quite like Gamecast from MSN.

Just listened to the first four of these. Not usually a big Iain Lee fan, but found myself really enjoying it. Looking forward to hearing more

Fanking yew!

Giantbombcast is my gaming podcast of choice.

I also listen to Gamers with Jobs, but it can be a little hit and miss.

Would echo the Retronauts recommendation too, although if it's a call-in show (FUCKING NERDS, LADS) I don't bother.

Videogamer.com's podcast is must-listen fodder to me. It's a very loose conversation between 4 journos from the site with a lot of diversions into comedy but there's a very tangible passion for gaming too. Very unpretentious and even when talking about subjects I couldn't give a stuff about, they always tend to be very interesting.
