Total Rating Recall – Gaming Podcast

Total Rating Recall – Gaming Podcast

Author: Gaming February 16, 2026 Duration: 49:20
Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan and Ace are putting their memories to the test in this nostalgia-fueled episode of the Video Gamers Podcast. Instead of replaying old favorites, they’re diving headfirst into gaming history and attempting to rate recent titles purely from memory. How accurate are their takes? Has time made these video games better than they actually were, or is nostalgia clouding their judgment? From unforgettable boss fights to mechanics they swear were revolutionary, the guys debate what still holds up in today’s gaming landscape and what might deserve a lower score on a modern scale. It’s a fun, chaotic look at how we remember video games versus how they might actually play today. If you love bold opinions, questionable recall, and passionate arguments about gaming, this is one episode you won’t want to miss!   Thanks to our MYTHIC Supporters: Redletter, Disratory, Ol’ Jake, Gaius, Jigglepuf, Phelps and NorwegianGreaser, and Dettmarp   Thanks to our Legendary Supporters: HypnoticPyro, PeopleWonder, Bobby S.   Connect with the show: Support us on Patreon: ⁠patreon.com/videogamerspod⁠ Join our Gaming Community: https://discord.gg/h2cHKAvSmu Follow us on Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/videogamerspod/⁠  Follow us on X:⁠ https://twitter.com/VideoGamersPod⁠  Subscribe to us on YouTube:⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@VideoGamersPod?sub_confirmation=1⁠    Visit us on the web:⁠https://videogamerspod.com/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

There’s a space between the loud, over-the-top gaming shows and the dry, technical deep dives that can feel more like homework. Video Gamers Podcast lives right in that sweet spot. It’s built on the simple, genuine dynamic of friends talking about what they love. The hosts come armed with strong opinions and a shared history of countless hours with a controller in hand, but they never claim to have all the answers. What you’ll hear is the sound of a lively living room conversation, full of laughs and personal stories, where the passion is real and the expertise is happily self-appointed. Each episode feels like hanging out with the crew as they dissect recent plays, revisit classics, and endlessly debate their personal rankings. It’s that mix of camaraderie and casual insight that can actually help you decide what to play next-pointing you toward hidden gems and steering you clear of the duds. This podcast is less about formal reviews and more about sharing the experience of gaming itself, making it a regular dose of fun for anyone who sees a game as more than just pixels on a screen.
