Welcome to the AlmostVerse

Almost Gamers is a podcast for gamers by gamers.

We don’t claim to be experts, and we’re definitely not pros. But we’re not noobs either. 

We’re two guys with microphones here to talk about video games.

  • casual gaming discussion
  • top gaming picks
  • the (almost) latest in gaming news
  • technology reviews & recommendations
  • video game reviews & recommendations
  • (almost) witty banter

"We always talk about video games. It's a hobby of ours. So one day we were like, hey let's record this, and maybe somehow, for some reason, someone else would want to listen to us idiots just talk and drink and ramble on about video games. So that's what this podcast is."
