About Grumpy Old Gamer

We’re not here to sell you hype, pretend everything is amazing, or gush over the latest sequel to a sequel of a rebooted franchise that should’ve stayed dead. We’ve been gaming since before tutorials existed, and we’ve got opinions. Lots of them. Some even make sense.

Grumpy Old Gamer is a podcast for people who remember when games came in boxes, DLC wasn’t day-one extortion, and ‘early access’ wasn’t code for ‘you’re paying to beta test this broken mess.’ We talk about games, the old, the new, the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between, with the kind of blunt honesty that PR departments hate.

Episodes are irregular because we have lives, jobs, and extremely short attention spans. When we do show up, expect sarcasm, swearing (mild), grumbling, and strong feelings about game mechanics that no one else cares about.

This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. Sometimes the old stuff was better. Sometimes it wasn’t. Either way, we’re here to grumble about it like the aging, controller-wielding curmudgeons we are.

Grumpy Old Gamer

Real opinions. No fake hype. Some actual insight… eventually.
