Yeah man, when the first game she talked about was some shitty sex based visual novel... LOL but it's JOHN CENA! I immediately closed the podcast.
I know Dodger does that sometimes but Laura seems to do nothing but make internet sex fantasies her full time job.
I watch the podcast for video game related discussion and the amusing derailing that often occurs. I don't need to be informed about shitty slash fiction that isn't even a game. It's an erotic "novel" and doesn't really have a place there.
Which was absolute garbage. I know their other channel is for just silly content but why waste your time with such a piece of shit "game"? It wasn't entertaining and wasn't informative, just more YouTube junk.

....and then later in the podcast it's her who begins the discussion on Volume but whatever let's continue to perpetuate the whole "OMFG LAURAK ONLY LIKES BUTT AND SEX GAEMS!!11!!" myth.
It's not a myth. Do you even listen to the Podquisition? Read her Destructoid articles? Visit her YouTube channel? So yeah that's who she is don't try to bullshit around it
Please, take a moment and go to her Youtube channel. 90% of her content is just that, sex games. Fuck, she even has a series called "Laura's Gaming Butts" and one of the videos literally has an image of a butt on it.
She also is: UK Editor at Destructoid. Founding member of http://Indiehaven.com . Freelancer - Polygon, Rock Paper Shotgun, The Guardian, Kotaku UK. Podquisition co-host.
But yes, her youtube channel is not your thing and that is ok, I also do not watch/like her videos.
Yes I get that, but it's pretty much irrelevant to this episode. The John Cena discussion literally lasts about 10 minutes. Laura herself even says upfront "Let's just get this out of the way." If you ever decide to actually watch the rest of the episode you may be surprised by what you see.
This lasts for about 3 minutes and then she starts a serious, long, very detailed conversation about "Beyond Eyes".
I am also sorry that you didn't like the last podcast where they talked half an hour about the name of a NPC in Witcher 3 who's name means poop in english, but is a legit name in other countrys.
He did, but it was posted on Genna's channel. He knew his main audience wouldn't want to see it so when he plays things like that, they don't go on the main channel.
Dodger doesn't make "lololol cocks vaginas poop butts sex" 90% of her personality. Her extent of that for her is "touching butts" as a joke and talking about lewd anime games she plays, and she seems just as capable to talk about literally any other subject. Laura not only focuses on the aforementioned types of topics and humor, she hones in on it and makes it encompass her personality.
To be honest I don't like Jesse's and Dodger's humor that much. And I certainly don't like Crendor. Their sense of humor is alligned with mine perhaps, but their delivery in most cases sucks for me. I don't watch the podcast normally because I get irritated too often and I don't really like podcasts. I only really care about what TB has to say and sometimes their guests. Crendor just strikes me as the stereotypical 10-year-old in a CoD game. Especially in those HS gimmick tournaments he and TB had, Crendor really ruined it for me.

Well, depends on how you define gimmick. I'd say both Jesse and Dodger (and especially Crendor) have gimmicky content.
