It's episode 17 baby! Ed gets obscure with Dark Souls, Alex faces choice paralysis with UFO 50 and Sofie gets a lot off her chest with The Sims. Meanwhile we talk EA getting snagged by the Saudis. Tokyo Game Show, and actually good news about the whole ZA/UM thing?? It's true!

A super-special episode because 1) Sofie's back (thank god) and 2) we've all played Silksong! It's a Silkstravaganza! And after we're all silked out, it's onto the news, with Nintendo chat, loud-shirted knobheads, and some nonsense going on in America. They call it: Episode 16

We're back, but not all of us! Unfortunately Sofie is off swanning in South Africa, so we've got a duo episode with just Alex and Ed. But when the cat's away, the mice will play - and so we've got a full Nintendo episode about Majora's Mask and DK Bananza! Plus news!

The deep state defeated! Fresh from hospital, the gang are back to discuss Expedition 33, Dave the Diver and to Unleash the Force on us all. PLUS! Another Keighleygasm, and less fun news about censorship and opposition to genocide. The grave failed to claim us!

Where's the new episode? Unfortunately, the deep state rose again and whisked Alex into A&E and trapped him in hospital for a week. He's fine, but also too lazy to record and edit a podcast from a hospital bed. So, a class traitor. Next episode (🤞hopefully!) on 25 Aug as usual!

We're back! Again! And with a dark portent: the 13th episode. In a rebuke to fate itself, we carry on as normal. Ed reminisces about God of War (2005), Sofie talks Animal Crossing and Alex talks for far, far too long about Death Stranding 2, for all you Kojima heads. Links!⬇️

Episode 11 is live! And (some audio issues aside), it's a great one. We have Switch 2 and Summer Game Fest blowouts from Alex, Ed fiancés it up with Split Fiction and Sofie raises her brow as high as it gets with Kentucky Route Zero. We can't be stopped!

Ep 7 is upon us, and of course we're talking about the big reveal of the Switch 2 - oh and the financial collapse too, can't forget about that.
But before that, we discuss Ed's Survival of Vampires, Sofie talks REPO, and Alex revives the discourse of 2013 with Bioshock Infinite!
