VideoDestruct Podcast VideoDestruct Our weekly podcast where we play a video game and then we talk about it! Hoss (one of our hosts) has a weird encyclopedic knowledge of linking six degrees of any video game developer and we like to break down the historical and cultural significance of a classic or modern game and it’s impact on the video game industry. Explicit That Weird Ass Podcast! Natalie and Maggie Welcome to That Weird Ass Podcast! (TWAP for short.) We honestly have no idea what we're doing, but join us on this wild ride. We talk about random things each episode, so hopefully you won't get bored. If you're starting with our first episode, buckle up because it's gonna be one hell of a bumpy ride!

Galaktacus attempts to eschew that "angry nerd" character and celebrate the good, the bad and the weird that comes along with this current golden age of pop culture. So let the devouring begin!
