hey, i don't wanna go to work today...

For great video game news and reviews i've been watching The 1up Show, which is a podcast for 1up.com. Generally clocking in at around 30 min an episode and updated weekly. Compared to other video game and tech podcasts i've seen, which i usually find obnoxious and irritating, this is a great time and i'm always looking forward to the next episode. perhaps the greatest thing about it is that there's plenty of use of strong language, but even without that they do great reviews. Most commonly the reviews are 2 or 3 people discussing what the like or didn't like, switching between clips of them talking and the game itself. You really get to know the people reviewing games and they're personalities after a few episodes. There is no in your face host, just layed back gamers dropping f-bombs. and the theme song is always stuck in my head.

watch the one up show here.
listen to the theme song on repeat forever here.
see they're myspace here.
