I like his series about translating Final Fantasy VII, funny and informative.

the two types of tim rogers content i love are his scripted review vids that all take poetic turns in the 2nd half (e.g. hyrule warriors, forza horizon 4) and his on-site vids from E3/conventions

He even says there's nothing wrong with it and struggles to find a complaint (too dark to play on the NYC subway, lol), so at the least it should be higher!
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 13:27 (five years ago) link
Sheesh it’s not like a scientific ranking.
I agree with him though: Hollow Knight is very good and Celeste is the best platforming video game and basically a perfect realization of what video games are good at

it's possible that talking-fast-over-a-video is him at his finest.
This is a terrible thing to say about anyone, but having a look at the Shadow of the Tomb Raider video you might have it right.

I drive a lot and have been listening to a ton of Insert Credit recently. For Tim, solely, I’m finding. Guy is sharp and funny. I’m still not sure where he belongs in the bullshitter to savant spectrum, but enjoyable either way.Brandon S. is fucking insufferable though. “So my number one game of the year is Super Fart Tensei 3. I don’t know, it’s kinda like Sonic Mania. It’s the most Dreamcast game of the year. Like the jumping feels pretty good, the running feels OK. But yeah, it’s bad and super janky. Hehehe. But kind of interesting. I played it for 12 minutes. Hehe. Yeah, that’s my number one.”I want to shove him down a toilet.

lol. At times you can practically hear the others biting their tongues with some of the dumb shit Tim and Brandon say. Best thing about that show.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Saturday, 22 April 2023 17:17 (one year ago) link
xp lmaoIt is true, the interplay between them all is what keeps me coming back. It would be too much if it was all Tim. But I do skip the episodes he’s not in.Jaffe is a great host who knows how and when to interject. Frank is kind of a bore, but I like the museum/history stuff and his barely concealed contempt for most of what Brandon says is really funny. It’s a good sitcom.
― circa1916, Saturday, 22 April 2023 17:45 (one year ago) link

― hrep (H.P), Sunday, 23 April 2023 01:35 (one year ago) link
Sort of really love how Frank seems to barely have played any games mentioned. I have to be in the mood for Brandon but the recent Tim/Brandon only episode was really, really strong.
― bain4z, Monday, 24 April 2023 08:31 (one year ago) link
I listened to a bit of that end of the year ep, and yeah, Rogers is fast and funny and less affected than his long videos. The other guys, don't know anything about them or why they are in the orbit of this video game savant. The one guy talked about giving "Elden Ring" maybe an hour before giving up, which seems ... short.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 24 April 2023 11:09 (one year ago) link
Well, Brandon is the co-founder of Insert Credit, which was Tim's first writing gig back in the early 00s. Those guys have been co-conspirators for decades. Not sure where Frank comes in, but I think the work he and Kelsey Lewin are doing with the Videogame History Foundation is super cool. I agree with y'all that Brandon's opinions can be baffling/obnoxious, there was a segment on this week's ep where he was trying to bash the Criterion Channel for being "pretentious;" Tim wasn't having it.
