    We miss you
    I love your podcast. I listen all the way thru then start over on episode 1. I feel like I know you guys are you’re just a couple friends of mine that I’m talking games and other things with. Are you guys done? It’ll be 2 years in July since your last show. Just wondering. I still have hope that there’ll be more episodes.

    Two terrific blokes sharing their gaming journey
    I cannot remember how I discovered this podcast but I now cannot imagine my life without it. Terrific gaming digital and analogue conversation along with insight about their joys and disappointments in life. These blokes have a die hard fan who listens in all the way from Colorado, USA.

    Love it
    I've been listening for years and it's still great fun hearing about gaming news, world of tanks, bad judgement, dog stuff, what they've been playing and other exploits that shouldn't be heard by children. Keep up the great work and I'm excited to be in the Kickstarter card game with these guys.

    Love these guys
    As a 22 year old American, I didnt expect to enjoy Midlife Gamer as much as I do. I've become a huge fan and would reccomend it to anyone who enjoys gaming and geek culture as well as funny persnal anecdotes (sp?)

    Nothing but love
    I started listening to you guys about a week ago by mistake. How ever the little I heard made me want to listen to everything so I started with your first episode. I'm up to 40 as of now. You guys rock Ik I'm behind but I hope to catch up I listen to you guys at work so I'll be up to date on no time. Take care and like I said your a must listen in and nothing but love.

    Like an old smelly pair of trainers
    Listen to two middle aged Brits discuss video games and generally act goofy. I love english accents, and I want to find out approximately what is happening in the video game world, so this show works for me. To tell the truth, the best parts of the show are when the two hosts get off topic and just talk about their lives. And if you guys are reading this, soundtrack of our gaming lives is terrible. I have to get out my phone and skip past old video game music when that section comes on. Vague news and what we've been playing lately are the best!

    Adults are talking here
    Laid back conversation about life and gaming between two grown men. A recent discovery for me, and one of the podcasts I most look forward to listening to.
  • Starfuryzeta
    Love the humor and camaraderie.
    Even though I'm in North America, I love listening to this podcast. It has global, no universal appeal.

    Midlife gamer rules the wastelands
    If you've been playing video games since the late 70s and show no signs of stopping now , then this is the show for you! Timely, funny and nasty as they wanna be, this the top gear of video game podcasts. Miss it at your own risk
  • Time Mushroom
    Mature immaturity.
    The hosts of this podcast talk about video games, tell vulgar jokes, give sexy quizzes to each other, relate embarrassing stories, and, most importantly, make me laugh. Forget all those other snarky, cynical, self important game podcasts and let MidLife Gamer Podcast show you how it's done. 5-Stars!
  • Mashed Potato Lumpy Pampers
    Could listen to these guys talk about anything
    Al Franken once said that talk radio is a cult of personality and the MidLife Gamer's coolaide is very sweet indeed. I came for the gaming reviews but I'm listening to their older podcasts for the guys behind the mic.
  • hwak1976
    Like games? Like to laugh as well?
    This is a great, entertaining podcast on video games. It is the funniest games podcast I have heard recently. MidLife Gamer should definitely be much higher in the charts. Keep em coming!

    Can you believe I've never left a review?
    Shame on me! I've been an active member of this community for mote than two years now and I still haven't posted a review yet. I have to say these are the best group of lads you can ever game with. Who says gamers are cranky and bitter. If you want to join a warn, funny and mature group of gamers, head over to the midlifegamer.net forums and say hi. Oh, and the podcast is pretty good as well ;-) Just kidding, Matt and Daren put on a fantastic podcast. Very down to earth and witty. They have a little bit of a Burns and Allan chemistry. I'll let you figure out which one is George and which one is Gracie.
  • Zyvernia
    Import this podcast!
    I will be honest and say that out of all the podcasts that I listen to, this is the only gaming podcast I download on a continuous basis. Insightful and detailed game reviews, good production value, and alot of NSFW fun! Keep going balls deep and I'll keep listening from "across the pond" in the U.S. My sanity thanks you.
  • Retr0Rob
    Love this show!
    This has to be the most laugh out loud funny gamecast anywhere. Midlife gamer covers a wide variety of gaming topics and never misses a chance to inform and entertain. I look forward to this one every week. Great, awesome, fun stuff. This is the first time I bothered to review a podcast. That is how good it is. Listen to it, you will love it!
  • SassyGeek
    I love you!
    I love this podcast so much that I have decided that I am going to find a mad scientest to impregnate me with a genetically modified Matt/Daren baby. It could be a fun challenge to get both their DNA. But even then I don't think I could all their wonderful qualities in one person. They know their games, obviously have a great friendship, and have that cheeky, naughty quality that makes you wonder what they are really up to during that late night game of Uno. ;) I guess I'll just have to stalk both of them until they love me.

    Not old, but not as young as I used to be
    Originally, I was looking for a podcast that talked about games and was casual enough to earn its explicit rating. After trying a few, I found that I needed to add, "doesn't sound like a bunch of kids" to my list of requirements. Midlife Gamer is the first podcast that has stayed subscribed to my ipod 3 months in. I look forward to hearing these guys week after week as much as I would speaking to my own friends. Keep being yourselves and I'l keep listening.
  • Deathmetalgreg
    This is a sexy iTunes review!
    I've been a listener now for nearly a year and after sampling many other podcasts, including some of the most popular ones today, I still hold this one in my top three favorites. Great job guys, keep up the great work. The only thing I don't really care for is the weekly quiz. I find that to be a little on the boring side as I would much rather hear more game discussion!
  • zappavin1
    Insightful, Funny and an all around good time.
    Go balls deep on this podcast. You won't be sorry. Very funny and a great insight into the gaming world. Love the quiz section!!! Keep up the great work guys!
  • Mojosunhill87
    Funny, entertaining and awesome!
    Hi there, guys. Morten from Norway here. MojoSunhill on the forums. Being 23 years old I'm not really a Mid-Life Gamer, but as someone morbidly pointed out on the forums that if I die at 50, I am. ;-) I had to sneak myself onto an American iTunes account to write this glowing review. I discovered your podcast while browsing through iTunes for more gaming ear-tainment and I've never looked back! I'm a huge fan of gaming podcasts like the Giant Bombcast and Weekend Confirmed, and I must say that you guys top them both. Your podcast is genuinely funny and very entertaining! Your different segments like Quiz etc.. are very original and a great addition to the gaming podcast formula and others should take note. The production value of your show is also great. So often podcasts seem to just rush-edit everything together, but the MLG podcast has a very nice flow with great music ques and pacing. Good work! I will continue listening to your podcast every week and know that you guys are making a huge contribution to the online gaming community. Keep up the awesome work, guys! :-)

  • DJ Dostoevsky
    MLG is the real deal.
    Aaron D from Washington, DC says: I stumbled onto the MidLife Gamer podcast when searching for Red Dead Redemption links. What a lucky break. I not only found a quality RDR session for a couple shows, but more importantly I was introduced to a couple cool cats who have a genuine chemestry of current knowledge and easy humor that simply demand tuning in weekly. Cheers gentlmen for all the good times.

    I Like Everything About This Podcast, If You Can Laugh, So Will You
    Matt and Daren are my best mates I'd love to have a Guiness with even though they are across an ocean and we've never met. Fun and funny good guys who love gaming and make talking about gaming as much fun as doing it. It's terrific hearing guys my age enjoying gaming as I do. I love this show and look forward to each installment even though the show is exclusively about console gaming and I am a PC gamer! It's that good that I still listen and enjoy every minute of it. You will too. Subscribe and find out for yourself. We will all hang at the pub together then. Cheers.
  • Velvet Taco
    Deep, charming
    The two gentlemen responsible for midlife gamer have something special on their hands, a brilliant podcast. Would love to drink some beers with these guys. Nothing but laughs when I listen. how deep? That's right brother.
  • Fodder76
    Lovely Gentlemen Indeed
    Really love the podcast! I've only been around for around ten episodes now, but I'm already a permanent fan. The honesty found here is quite refreshing. Thanks for keeping it real, and keeping me awake and entertained while at work!
  • davedunlap1
    It gets deep
    Wacky British duo take a deep dive into the gaming scene with stunning results. It's the avatar of podcasts whatever that means. Prepare to be rocked

    Funny and Easy Going Gaming Podcast
    Have tried listening to a few gaming podcasts since just getting back into gaming at the age of 31, and this (along with giant bombcast) is the best. Very easy to listen too, can feel the honest enthusiasm these guys have for videogames, and it's all delivered without the fuss and fanboy nonsense of other gaming podcasts. It's like being down the pub and chatting about games. Great stuff.
  • Synthetic Man
    Fantastic
    Being a fellow podcaster I know that people don't take the time to write reviews. That being said, this podcast is hilarious. I look forward to the new episode every week. The banter is great and I love the quiz at the end. Keep up the great work.
  • Financin' N Dancin'
    Highly enjoyable
    This is a highly enjoyable gaming podcast from a couple of friendly gentlemen from across the pond (apologies for the earlier error). What makes it most enjoyable is the obvious passion both of the hosts have for gaming and how much fun they seem to be having each week. The shows typically run from 1-2 hours and at the end of each I can't help but feeling like they could go on for another hour or two. It's also a nice change to get the perspective of gamers outside of the US. Make sure you stay tuned for the jokes at the end... priceless!
  • GordonSumner
    Genuinely funny, witty, fast-paced entertainment.
    This is absolutely one of my favorite gaming podcasts. It’s a good mix of news, reviews, and fun stories about their personal week in gaming. The two hosts sound like great guys, and I look forward to spending a hour or so hanging out with them every week. There’s a dynamic chemistry between them, so it’s genuinely funny, witty, and fast-paced entertainment. They're a little more grown up, a little more mature, and have a little more to say… But they also know how to have a good time. (Ok, let’s be honest - sometimes they’re a bit filthy. The out-takes at the end of the show are pure gold.) It’s simply a great show - I’d put it in my top ten podcasts of any genre. Keep it up guys - you really have a great thing going!
