    is good
    I would like to thank fine people at Kotaku Australia for discovering the technology to beam podcasts directly through the core of the Earth so that I and others can enjoy their dulcet video game commentary, here in the US. There are literally dozens of games to choose from and I can’t be bothered picking them week to week when I’m too busy playing them. Luckily Ruby and David have the inside scoop on what’s hot and what’s not as well as the courage to still be funny despite openly being gamers. I like being able to play these good games, then recommending them to my friends so I look like a genius for discovering them. However, it never works out because I recommended this podcast first. Keep up the good work!
