Episode 129 – Mistakes in Space

In space everyone can still hear you ruin your career with one tweet. James plays Civ: Beyond Earth, Ben gets into Titanfall’s new Frontier Defence mode and Paul finally finishes Metal Gear Solid 16 years after its release. Super Smash Bros for Wii-U surprises us all with an arse load of content and a Paranatuical Activity Dev makes a very unfortunate mistake.

Episode 128 – A Hatred of Bread

Gosh darn bread! It makes us so mad! This week the wonderful Kim Allom joins us to talk about the controversial Hatred and the equally offensive I am Bread while throwing in the delightful Consensual Torture Simulator for good measure. James and Paul have become hardcore trekkers and play Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator all while Ben continues to fiddle with his digital balls.

Episode 123 – We Can’t All Have an Interesting Destiny

Episode 120 – Bears and Bros

Against all odds this episode has been recorded and features a variety of terrifying bears from The Behemoth and Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Also a bunch of expendable Bros shoot a lot of bad guys with gun. Throw in some of Ethan Carter’s paranormal investigation, fish playing more videogames, a gang of beasts and the return of crowd funding you’ve got yourself an episode worth listening to with your face ears.

Episode 117 – The podcast that’s not Free2Play (although it is free for you to play… this is confusing)

You won’t believe the value present in today’s episode! Crypt of the Necrodancer, Little Raiders, The Last of Us Remastered, EA Access, Rick and Morty’s Rushed Licensed Adventure, banter and even a surprised fish. All that for the premium price of nothing.
