Nextlander - giant bomb made better imo.

I'm in the UK, so some of this might be UK centric:

Podcasts

• Digital Foundry Weekly, Weekly podcast discussing gaming news/hardware etc (If you know DF you know what this is)
• The Crate and Crowbar, PCGamerUK used to have a podcast and these guys move to this. Few friends talking about games and it's decent (not overly technical or in depth, more just mates chatting).
• IGN UK Podcast, absolutely love the personalities on this, it seems more like some mates chatting with a bit of structure (less like the IGN ethos of pushing as much out as possible).
• VGC, Again a few mates chatting about games, good production values and I value their opinions.

RSS feeds

• Eurogamer.net features, similar to DF, but they cover decent articles about games.
• Uppercut - Features, doesn't post often but has well thought out articles about games and they're a joy to read.
• Polygon - Feature, interesting articles about films/games. I don't read them all just ones interesting or relevant to me.
• Rock Paper Shotgun features, PC Gaming articles that explores interesting questions about newer/popular games.
• IGN Feed, All the feeds above are features where it's not just regurgitated news that spams your feed, they're well thought out. Well IGN isn't features, it's just gaming news. I hardly read the artcles, just scroll the titles.

Remap Radio

Nextlander

I still go back and listen through the original Arrow Pointing Down/Giant Bombcast up until Ryan's passing. The age of the content makes it downright historically interesting now for their commentary on game releases.

The chemistry of those guys (Vinny and Brad included) is still untouchable, no one can rein Jeff in and play off him as well as Ryan did, and Ryan is by far my favorite person to ever grace that website and podcast, and rightfully so as it was his child with Jeff. Rest in peace.

It's been many years and I've found very few outlets that consistently resonate with me.

In terms of review quality, I think the best one is Easy Allies (formed by folks who used to work at GameTrailers). They match video clips with a well-written script so perfectly. But IMO they focus too much on console, where I'm PC-only.

I'm also a Linux gamer now. Gaming On Linux and Boiling Steam are good for that, but I'm open to more.

Podcast wise: Rebel FM, though after all these years it's more just to catch up with them than the actual talking points, but always enjoyable.

For deep dives into specific games Cane & Rinse (full disclosure I have met and consider friends some of the guys involved).

For Indie Games, The Sausage Factory by Chris O'Regan, which these days is hosted by Cane And Rinse is a great way to hear directly from the game devs themselves.

I listen to the besties and triple click

Games are entertainment, and so I get my news coverage from people who I find entertaining. This means I'll take biased, opinionated ranting if it's funny-enough. So mostly Yahtzee.

I get my Serious News about municipal politics.

Minnmax - Some former Game Informer peeps pulled a Nextlander and it's been great. For anyone checking it out for the first time now, usually Ben Hansen is the host, but he's away for a time on paternity leave.

I listen to The Besties and Into the Aether, mostly because their tastes align with mine a lot of the time.

I honestly don’t watch or listen to stuff about gaming. I just read my RSS feeds about upcoming games and pirate them and if I like them, I buy.

Castle Super Beast has long been my go to gaming and pop culture podcast.

I get all my news from Lyle Rath on Pregame Discharge. He's told me it's the only videogame show, so I'm surprised to hear about all these other shows.

FPS: Friends Per Second and the SkillUp channel in general. I also keep up to date with AngryJoeShow and his reviews/news videos.

I enjoy listening to these podcasts more for their entertainment value than just trying to get the best information.

Podquisition - The hosts are very entertaining as they go over the games they've played as well as news in the industry. Laura also does a great job at reporting news leaks.

What's Good Games - Industry veterans who run a little too high energy go over gaming news as well as games they've played and often get hands-on impressions for upcoming titles.

The Inverted Castle - Fun retrospectives on Metroidvania games of old.

Square Roots - A Let's Play on classic RPGs that goes into great detail on each game across multiple episodes featuring the hosts thoughts and opinions on the games as they play through each section together.

I don't really. I don't keep up with AAA games, most of them don't interest me. There's a looooot of games out there and only a fraction of them interest me.

I also don't really watch YouTubers and stuff in general, I find it hard to watch.

It was gameranx and gaming historian but maybe nothing soon with the way YouTube is trying to kill off 3rd party clients

Can't comment on news, but the friends per second podcast has been my go to

Jesse Cox has 5 Minute Gaming News that lists news into little bite-sized chunks that I can handle every weekday. Used to love Jesse on the Cooptional and Cox n Crendor podcasts so I like listening to him.

Also every Friday Crendor is featured on the Cren Minute where he talks about whatever he wants and its the most redundant and hilarious thing to me.

And shoutouts to Lyle Wrath's hilarious Pregame Discharge show where he lays out the news in an extreme and absurd way. Used to be weekly but now kind of forced to be monthly after Destructoid dropped it.

I found this recently, it's not bad: https://www.dsogaming.com/
