We're over halfway through 2024, so it's time to take stock of where we've been, where it looks like we're going, and where we are right now. Where we are right now? Recording a podcast. That's one third of the topics covered. The others will include looking back at great games like Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Dragon's Dogma 2, Elden Ring: Shadow o…

Something a bit special this week, as we've got a genuine world exclusive video game announcement and preview. We had to pull a lot of strings, but we've managed to land a no-holds-barred interview with video game designer Tommy Dassalo about his new game Super Dassalo Land for the Game Boy Colour. By the way, I'm writing this in sort of a silly wa…

An a-PEEL-ing episode this week that will SPLIT your sides, the FRUIT of our labour on display in a BUNCH of different ways. That's right, Adam has played Riven: The Remake of the Sequel to Myst.

The Year of Luigi may have been many Dark Moons ago, but the big man in green is back and his definition is high enough that Tommy's gone in to have a look at what Luigi is up to in that Mansion of his. Less high is the definition of the Dwarves in Dwarf Fortress, but still higher than they used to be, and it's been enough to entice Ben to see what…

We fill Pete in on his contribution to the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival, Danny's torn himself away from an illicit venue for long enough to murder some wildlife, Tommy's had his caricature done, and there's a wild new scam sweeping the Thai restaurants of Mel…

If an Erdtree falls in the forest, but the one person around to hear it is currently rolling around non-stop, will they be able to hear it? Just one of the thought exercises we get into this week, including examining deep questions such as what would it be like if one were to remaster Yooka-Laylee already? How many demoes of Rift of the Necrodancer…

This week we're joined by Taskmaster's WIL ANDERSON and LLOYD LANGFORD! We go behind the scenes of the new series of Taskmaster and find out about the windowless room that the competitors are holed up in, who got booked first out of Lloyd and his partner, and how long it takes to flip a chair. There's also more Carl Barron conspiracy theories, we p…
