One Life Left is excellent, mostly discusses games, and is funny.

 

A lot of other podcasts are made up of unfunny people thinking they are funny and hardly discussing games at all. Do you listen to podcasts? If so, which ones?

I've never listening to a podcast, mainly because of the reasons you mentioned. Being unfunny. I find most people that do these amateur intarwebz things pretty uninteresting. Most of them are the "funny" people of whatever little social circle they're in. All of their friends/co-workers probably told them "you should do stand-up comedy" not realizing most stand-up is also unfunny and horrible (Carlos Mencia anyone?)

 

All in all, I want to punch these people in the face. Who's with me?!

Count me in.

 

To be fair though, it may not be friends or the relatives fault. These folks probably believe deep down that they are funny. I mean, look at some of the tryouts for American Idol. Some need no persuasion whatsoever to get up in front of the American public and make a complete fool of themselves. Maybe it's "delusions of grandeur" which overrides common sense?

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure those same people are the most "talented" out of all of the people they know.

...They must not know many people, then.

I would love to have the self-esteem and guts they have. I would not want the world to see my lack of talent as we see their, though.

Podtoid, from Destructoid, is actually decent, although admittedly it contains more jokes and piss-taking than games.
