Are there any good gaming podcasts besides bombcast?

So with all the valve news recently, I wanted to listen to a few strictly gaming podcasts since the ones I listen to only partially covered it (this is only a test).

So for a 3 hour podcast, they could cut out at least 2 hours if you take all the bullshit out, maybe even less. The first time anything game related is even brought up is at 21:09. Its usually BS for 20 mins, gaming for 10 mins, and then repeat.

I really like when Will and Norm talk about games (and especially gary when hes on), but they actively try not to talk about gaming too much since its not really a gaming podcast. I really wish they would just do a dedicated gaming podcast every few weeks instead of doing the podcast with adam.

I really like angry joe and totalbiscut, so if they do any podcasts i might be interested in that.

Anyone know of any gaming podcasts?

Edit: I should also mention I tried out tgs podcast a while ago and didn't like it at all (does total biscuit still do this? Or just the new one that was posted here). Again same as bombcast but worse. Its like they are trying to be a comedy podcast, but aren't funny at all.

General gaming? I've enjoyed the PC Gamer podcast, say what you will about the mag but I like the podcast.

I listen to video game podcasts pretty regularly. For PC gaming, you can't top PC Gamer. Gamers with Jobs is another good no bs listen. They talk some console/portables but are pretty focused on PC. Heck, regular guest Corey Banks now works at PC Gamer and has been one of their better additions in recent years. (He still guests on GWJ)

I just started listening to CAG; Cheapy D almost exclusively games on his PC, but he talks ports more than anything else.

I like Player One Podcast too - they aren't really PC-centric though; they cover handhelds, retro, a lot of stuff.

Idle Thumbs is quite devoted to PC but they are easily distracted and are quite known for laughing at their own jokes. Still, they are a likeable enough bunch and are great at spotlighting indies.

As you mentioned, attempts at humor and comedy "material" on some of the podcasts can get a bit tiresome. Bombcast has gotten particularly bad in this regard - I believe those guys can talk games with the very best of them but judging by their game-to-bs ratio, they think listeners are VERY interested in how often they clean their kitchen and eat fast food.

Awesome, will check these out. Listening to PC gamer right now and it seems really good. Weird how just from searching around I could barely find anything. I didnt even know PC gamer had a podcast until now. thanks!
