Watch Out for Fireballs!
835 episodes - English - Latest episode: 8 days ago - ★★★★★ - 1.1K ratingsWatch Out for Fireballs! is a game club podcast, focused on retro and non-current games. Every week, we play a game in its entirety, then discuss its merits and flaws at length. Most episodes begin with a short sketch, and we're pretty liberal about keeping tangents in. But it ultimately comes down to: Why do we like (or dislike?) this game.
