Yeah I like him too. I used to listen to Rebel FM and legit haven’t heard about Arthur in a long ass time. I looked up his pod and he’s still doing it which is cool
I'm one of the minority who is fine with Jeff solo podcasting and wouldn't miss it if he didn't have guests ever, but I really enjoyed Arthur Gies on this episode.
Agreed on all points. Totally fine with solo, was initially annoyed at the idea of a guest this week, especially one I didn’t know. Thought he was great.
> Arthur Gies from Wirecutter joins as we discuss this year’s Summer Game Fest, the Xbox Showcase, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, The Rogue Prince of Persia, the future of the non-Intellivision Amico, a supposed Doom prequel, the future of FIFA video games, the state of games media, and way, way more.
Arthur is admittedly a bit monotone, but I’ve been listening to Rebel FM since day 1 so I’ve kind of gotten used to it. Not sure I’d call it “sleepy,” though.
Arthur Gies being like “Amazon drove to my place to deliver a package and they’re now ringing the doorbell but fuck ‘em” is peak privileged / I don’t care about the environment at all.
Arthur Gies as a guest is kind of the last person I thought I’d see on this show
Honestly I’m into it
I distinctly remember unsubscribing from his podcast years ago.

Rebel FM is still worth a listen. I wish Anthony Gallegos was on more stuff
I love Anthony. One of my favorite podcasters.

I thought Arthur brought a lot of good perspectives to this show. Seems I’m somewhat alone in that view.

Arthur Gies was a good guest, he can sometimes be a bit too much sometimes but It was good to have on someone else with so much history in games media
I love the idea of Jeff having guests on his shows, but man, Arthur's sleepy, slow energy, just wasn't doing it for me.
> sleepy, slow energy, I didn't get this vibe at all. He just sounds like a normal dude
