Our philosophy from the beginning has been, “there is no such thing as a bad game, just games that aren’t for you”. The GO cast sets out to engage in discussions that avoided trashing developers and publishers while also avoiding the politics and controversies surrounding the industry. Our focus is strictly on the games, and The GO Crew realizes that not every gamer has the same opinions on each game released. We hope to represent a wide variety of tastes.We also like to draw gamers from our community to participate in the podcast as. Have you ever listened to your favorite podcast and thought to yourself, “Man, I would love to chat with these guys” or “I wish I could be on a podcast too”? Well, at The Gaming Outsider, we give our listeners the opportunity to do so. If you’re a fan of the show, reach out to us using our email links or social media accounts. You may receive an invitation to join us for a recording.Please check out and subscribe to our podcast via iTunes, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast app." } ] } ] ```
