I’m looking for some recommendations for things to listen to or casually watch to stay ‘in the loop’ on the standout games of the year, hear discussion of good games in general, feed my video game fan soul but not just about the newest latest thing.

I figured this group might know of good spots to look.

What are your favorites?

    I haven’t followed any gaming news since Totalbiscuit passed away.

    If anyone has a suggestion that fills that gap then I’d love to hear it, but I doubt there is :/

      Yup, I do miss the “TGS Co-Optional Podcast” too. I’m still listening to “Cox & Crendor in the morning” but it’s something of a nostalgia trip.

      You could give “The Jeff Gerstmann Show” a try. He’s been running a solo operation since he was fired from Giant Bomb last year. His insights into the video game industry are second to none, even though the solo act might not be to everybody’s taste.

      One big reason why I like Triple Click is that at the end of their episodes, they have a short segment where they highlight something interesting each of them has played/read/watched in the past week. This is where they sometimes touch on lesser known indie gems (when they’re not completely absorbed in one game), but it’s also good for book/TV/movie recommendations if you’re interested

      Also as games journalists, they are up to date on the more corporate events and details so some of their topics can get pretty news-y but not often
