    Most entertaining hour and a half ever
    I tuned into the League of Legends podcast because I am very interested in the game and have beenplaying the game since season 3. Although there were other topics talked about prior to it starting, I was still enthused by what was covered because you guys had awesome conversations that were very eloquently put and the analogies were spot on. I'mvery particular when it comes to wording so that last bit especially appealed to me. Everything seemed well fleshed out as if rehearsed and the shaking the board analogy was my favorite and very accurate too. 10/10

    Clever fun friends, good thoughts
    Loved your Eternal Darkness ep - a personal favorite game, and your takes on it were really thoughtful. Looking forward to the next season!

    Excited for season 2
    So glad this series is coming back for a second season. Sully and crew make digging into these games a ton of fun. This podcast is more than just a podcast about games. It’s about people who do what they love and love sharing that passion with others. I’m not a gamer and loved every minute of the first season. Gamer or not, you will too! Sully is the best. Truly a joy to listen to everything he puts out.

    Not a gamer, but still...
    Can’t decide if it’s the genuine rapport the hosts have with all of the guests or if it’s the infectious enthusiasm they all have for games, but I get sucked into every episode I have listened to despite initially having very little interest in video games. They may make a convert of me yet!

    What was that game about again
    If you’ve got some older gen game you want to hear about I get the sense these guys will cover it sometime! Love learning about these niche games thanks everyone!

    A wonderful miniseries
    I loved every episode of the show and it made me want to play 5/6 games I hadn’t played before. Great interviews, quality hosts and a bevy of knowledge from inside the game industry. I absolutely loved it and I’m sad to see it’s over.

    Great stuff.
    I’m not a gamer in any sense, but I find FBW a fun listen regardless. I haven’t spent much time playing any of the games they’ve discussed so far, but this show manages to not only sell me on wanting to play them and even keeps the discussions interesting despite my lack of experience.

    Fun chats with game devs
    Though Fun But Why’s episode library is small, the content is high quality. The discussion of The Sims was my favorite episode because of how it thoughtfully explored the experience of the game and Kristin’s stories were such a blast. Have a quick listen and play some games!

    Sully has outdone himself!
    I’m a huge fan of how friends roll and after listening to all 4 seasons I was pumped to hear that sully has created another podcast I can listen to while I wait for season 5. I kept getting this feeling like wow this sounds like a real podcast and what I mean by that is it sounds like the podcast that are on the top of the charts right now. Sound quality is perfect, content is funny, clean and educational and I can’t wait for more! Props to sully for the hard work he’s putting into all his content!

    Interesting
    Hello there! I got here from how friends roll, and after listening to the second episode I found it pretty cool to see peoples different experiences with these games. I’m a lot younger so I have not played them, so I was also getting a description of the game, and I was able to get an image of it in my head pretty well. Over all, I like it, so I will probably be sticking around. Also, I love how friends roll and how you made it, so hopefully this will be just as good as it continues! Also wanted to say thank you Sully! (Sorry if I misspelled your name :P)

    Great Game Discussion
    Full disclosure: I made this show. I think it’s great, and I think you will like it too. It was incredibly fun to talk games with so many developers and professionals in the game dev space.
