GABBIN+GAMES Podcast is the podcast version of my live Youtube stream of the same name.We cover video game design, news, and the business. We also bring on key members of the industry for interviews, take listener calls, and generally chat about the hobby we all love so much.Warning: I'm vulgar as all get out. Lotsa language that your mamma won't dig but hell, I can't worry about your mamma; I got things to do! Point is: welcome! Pick one of the episodes and see if it tickles yer fancy. And if it does, please consider subbing to the show (be it here and/or over on the Youtubes!) Thx! JAFFE!
The GABBIN+GAMES podcast, hosted by industry veteran David Jaffe, is a must-listen for any gaming enthusiast. I have been following Jaffe since his blog in the early 2000s and was thrilled to discover that he has translated his unique perspective and entertaining commentary into a podcast format. What sets this podcast apart is that it is also available in audio form, making it perfect for listening during my daily commute to and from work.
One of the best aspects of The GABBIN+GAMES podcast is Jaffe's ability to provide insightful analysis and commentary on the gaming industry. As someone who has worked on iconic titles such as Twisted Metal and God of War, Jaffe's wealth of experience shines through in every episode. His discussions are not limited to just game reviews or news updates; he delves into deeper topics such as the creative process behind game development and the impact of video games on society. This unique blend of industry knowledge and personal anecdotes creates a podcast that feels both informative and engaging.
Another highlight of The GABBIN+GAMES podcast is its unconventional approach to gaming discussion. Jaffe does not adhere to mainstream opinions or follow the predictable path when discussing games. Instead, he takes unexpected turns and engages in tangents that keep listeners on their toes. This refreshing deviation from traditional gaming podcasts adds an element of surprise and authenticity to the show. It also allows for a more dynamic conversation that explores different perspectives within the industry.
While The GABBIN+GAMES podcast offers plenty of positives, there are a few potential downsides worth mentioning. Firstly, Jaffe's style may not be for everyone. His energetic and unfiltered approach might come across as overwhelming or even off-putting to some listeners who prefer a more measured tone. Additionally, occasional tangents can lead to episodes feeling disjointed or lacking focus. While these diversions often add entertainment value, they may distract from the main topic at hand.
In conclusion, The GABBIN+GAMES podcast is a fantastic listen for anyone interested in gaming and the industry surrounding it. David Jaffe's unique perspective, vast experience, and engaging style make this podcast stand out among others in the genre. While it may not be suited to those seeking a more traditional or structured approach to gaming discussion, its unconventionality adds charm and keeps the conversation intriguing. Whether you're a longtime fan of Jaffe or simply looking for insightful and entertaining gaming content, The GABBIN+GAMES podcast is definitely worth checking out.
