- Pat's editor is this Kieran guy:
I can't believe I used to defend this guy. He went from an oddball with okay opinions on video games to obsessed lunatic who won't abandon certain topics of discussion. He's a combination of LordKat and Spoony.
Pat is completely out of touch with modern gaming. Or even the next stage of retro gaming. He has hit a "podcasting wall". He's running out of things to talk about. Pat's show will gradually become the "capeshit/wrestling podcast".
This new weekly format is only going to accelerate his implosion. He's going to to keep covering topics over and over again. Referencing the Diablo incident again and again. He's going to crack.
