Rare Interviews from RETRO to MODERN. Amazing BTS!

Informative and entertaining show where they let the guest do most of the talking. Which I prefer, because I'm there to listen to them or hear some behind the scenes stories about the life they lived. The show is polite, friendly, and they keep it PG-13 by
"bleeping" any swearing with sound effects from the game.

I also like that they interview diverse people from the RETRO and MODERN eras with different job titles to educate the listeners about jobs that frankly I didn't even know were so involved in the video game process!

Can't wait to hear more from them it looks like they are a bi-weekly podcast so I have been starting to get giddy every other week to discover their next guest. Thank you Heroes of Gaming! Keep bringing us great tales from an industry shrouded in secrecy!

Cool Stories from a video game talk show!

A family friendly conversation show geared for everyone! From the casual gamer to the super serious E-Sport guru this podcast interviews the people that make the video games from the old times like Bard's Tale and new times like Guild Wars 2. They also have been bringing on people from some of the new kickstarter games that aren't out yet, AAA titles like Mortal Kombat or Spyro the Dragon, they even do indie games that have been out for years but the creators have never been interviewed! Vlad seems to know what he's talking about as a host and former game tester and keeps the conversation going while Hans has some deep dive industry questions that shift the "tech talk" segments in a fun way.

All in all I feel like they are getting better with each cast and I'm excited to follow them to see the next titles they can get!
