Final Fantasy 1 is amazing and should NOT be possible

This game was massive and still somehow fit on an NES cartridge. And it set the foundation for one of the most successful RPG series in history. But does it still hold up?

Aladdin on the Sega Genesis Shouldn't Be This Hard

John and Tom agree that Aladdin is better than Lion King... but just barely.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
