I am Different Levels of Confused 1:44:03

1M ago1:44:03

Make Podcast. Not Music. 1:32:29

2M ago1:32:29

1:32:29

We have new music! Will it make an appearance in this episode? Or are we keeping it for our Patrons? Only Lee knows... But stay tuned till the end for a surprise! The First Descendant has descended! And has taken over in a massive way! Apart from a stupid story, bosses named Greg & Jeremy, and microtransactions out the waazoo, it's actually hiding …

Chainsaw To The Face 2:04:35

2M ago2:04:35

2:04:35

We go through phases of collecting all the news. And then we give it all to you. You're welcome! Lee decided to do something for charity! He went on a Kiwi based DND stream to play some DND and raise awareness and money for a good cause. By playing a Kiwi cyberpunk story! How cool is that? NVidia GeForce Now is allegedly coming to Xbox! But Lee is …

The Not-E3 Wrap-up 1:32:26

2M ago1:32:26

1:32:26

Not-E3 is our favourite time of year! It's like a gamer Christmas. If that Christmas came with a bunch of promises instead of presents... Not-E3 is over, and all the game companies have shown their new games, new trailers, new teases and new games that they definitely won't cancel or close the studio for. Xbox bought the thunder and set the tone, a…

Babies Are Dishwasher Safe 2:12:54

3M ago2:12:54

2:12:54

These are the moments you can't manufacture. The Xbox Showcase is coming up and we do some crystal ball gazing. From Gears 6 to State of Decay 3, these are all the games we're hoping to see. Will we get our fabled Xbox Handheld? All rumors point to yes! We even enlisted the help of ChatGPT. Because who better to spill the beans than a sentient A.I.…

Fallout For Lore 2:07:08

3M ago2:07:08

2:07:08

Hellblade 2 is here and the photos coming from photo mode are insane! Welcome to true Next-Gen, thanks to Ninja Theory and Xbox. Could this become a tentpole franchise for Xbox, or are you happy just happy we got a sequel? Xbox is also giving away a ridiculous looking console to celebrate the launch. Seriously, where would you even put that thing? …

Console Wars Are Dead 1:49:25

3M ago1:49:25

1:49:25

We're still enjoying the fallout from Fallout! Xbox studios are closing, but is all at it seems? From studios losing staff to studios putting out flops, it looks like Xbox is now starting to get their house in order. Is it too little, too late? Or is this enough to start cracking the whip on the other studios? The Xbox app on PC is getting even bet…

I Am Here to Disappoint: The April Achievement Wrap Up 1:30:26

4M ago1:30:26

1:30:26

The April Achievement Challenge has come to an end, and now it's time to declare our winners, losers and Lee. And we even have a special guest. One who's not really a guest.

Xbox XCloud Game Pass 1:50:43

4M ago1:50:43

1:50:43

A weird week of news lies ahead. But what else do you expect when it's been contaminated by the Fallout? Thats right - from Fallout in Excel to Fallout's next-gen update, this week is dominated by Fallout news. All thanks to the fact that the Fallout TV show was... good? Wait? Are TV Shows based on games allowed to be good these days? Someone tell …

Oh Frabjous Day! 1:58:18

4M ago1:58:18

1:58:18

Oh, frabjous day! My Xbox podcast is obsessed with cheese! Kyle is accused of being a Facebook fan. Lee wants to take away all of his tech. We're reading from wrong episode notes. And the answer to life is more KFC. Can you tell what kind of episode this is going to be? Lee is on his way to 300K Gamer Score for April Achievement Challenge, and by j…

Do The Cheese Charts Change? 1:52:49

5M ago1:52:49

1:52:49

It's been three weeks of constant cheese talk. So, let's break the pattern by talking about a dog-napping! April Achievement Challenge is here, and Lee is on the path to get 100k Gamer Score in one month. And he's doing it by playing really bad and baby games. That isn't t say there aren't some gems hidden in the slog. How are you going through Apr…

What's So Good About Gouda? 2:05:21

5M ago2:05:21

2:05:21

Brie first. Feta second. NVidia has bought Xbox! While details are a bit sketchy at the moment in terms of if it's the brand or the whole division. While it makes sense from Microsoft's point of view to remove the gaming brand from its portfolio, we are interested to see where this takes the industry. And will this mean that that this will break th…

2:13:21

Do you remember Skype? Because Microsoft does. And they're still updating it! We're deep into some tech talk this episode as we play around with a new way to record this podcast! We have gone from using Zoom to Discord and now even Microsoft Teams. Which one sounds best? We want to hear from you. Do we sound or look better? Do we sound the same? Pl…

Anthem II: Back In the Suit Again 1:51:44

6M ago1:51:44

1:51:44

We are yet again asking Bioware to be sold to Xbox. We deserve to get Anthem II! Xbox admitting an ugly truth about Game Pass? How much more rage bait could we possibly put up with? Some games on Game Pass don't sell as well as expected after being added to Game Pass. What a twist! Studios are going independent left and right! Embracer is spinning …

The A.I. Take Over 1:28:39

6M ago1:28:39

1:28:39

Pounds? Euros? They're the same thing, right? Kyle and Lee get stuck talking about A.I. Almost as if they are a bunch of nerds... Can you tell we're amazed with ChatGPT? And with Microsoft shoving this A.I. all over Windows and Office and Azure, will we ever see this tech come to Xbox? Or are we wanting to keep the A.I. out of our games? Friendly F…

And boy, is he needed, as we take apart everything to do with the Xbox Business Update. From the podcast itself, to the interviews with The Verge and Windows Central, we (almost) dissect every word from the CEO of Mi…

Is This the End of Xbox? 2:24:02

7M ago2:24:02

2:24:02

It's half past the hour of fun! Rumors and rumors of rumors have the Xbox community melting down. From Sea of Thieves going to PlayStation, to Xbox going all in on Third Party, it seems like Xbox is preparing to change the entire game. Could we see Starfield on PlayStation? Who knows. We have to wait for next week to see what Phil says. But while w…

Secondhand Cringe 2:25:02

9M ago2:25:02

2:25:02

We're here to keep you regular. With your daily dose of secondhand cringe! The (unofficial) Game Awards happened! And there wasn't much fanfare, because it's now become a giant advert. However, we were still treated some juicy announcements, along with those pesky games that win some awards. So, what better way to celebrate than to go over every an…

I Am Currently On Trousers 2:29:17

9M ago2:29:17

2:29:17

Apparently, q-tips are not supposed to clean your ears. Thats our Top Tip of the Week! Lee is stuck in Diablo IV but we're in no danger of becoming a Diablo IV podcast! Kyle is sailing away in FAR: Changing Tides, because it seems he is now the new gamer player. Oh how the turn tables. Season 10 is here for Sea of Thieves and comes with guilds and …

That’s Just a Little Fan That’s Been Enlarged! 1:48:00

9M ago1:48:00

1:48:00

We have received a photo of our biggest fan! But it's not a big fan. It's just a small fan that's been enlarged! The Golden Joystick reveals their winners for this year's Game Awards and all we can say is thank goodness there remains some sanity in these award shows. If you're unsure what this means, then you clearly haven't listened to last weeks'…

No Bali for Barney 2:22:27

10M ago2:22:27

2:22:27

Barney will never visit Bali. And Bali will never experience Barney. What a sad state of affairs. Apart from the fact that Lee's dog, Barney, will never travel to Bali, the rest of this week's Regular Show is much more upbeat! That we can promise you. Balder's Gate 3 has gotten a massive win on the Xbox side of things, allowing the Larian Studios t…

Starfield Discord Thing 2:23:55

10M ago2:23:55

2:23:55

We have a Starfield Discord Thing! Some even call it a forum... Cities: Skylines II has a great game loop. You build a village, run out of money, lose the game and then start again. At least that's how Kyle has been playing it. All the while Lee is firmly stuck in Diablo IV. He has been running around in Season 2 and having a blast by the sounds of…

What! Bethesda Games Have Bugs? 1:53:28

In a surprise twist, it turns out Bethesda games have bugs! Almost like all games have bugs! Sea of Thieves is getting a big update with Season 10 - private servers, guilds and a whole lot more!

Does Paul Have A (Starfield) Problem? 1:37:56

11M ago1:37:56

1:37:56

Have you ever stolen so much stuff you just needed to sit at the bar for a day? Paul has. Lee is still stuck in Cyberpunk, and is urging everyone to get the expansion - Phantom Liberty and he's trying to convince Paul to abandon Starfield. However, Paul has some incredible hours in Starfield, so he's in no danger of straying off the path. We're so …

Producer Paul joins Lee this week, and chaos ensues! As is custom, we thank our Patrons on the first show of the month.

If you'd like to support us, please consider signing up on Pat…

FPS Isn’t Real 2:04:49

11M ago2:04:49

2:04:49

We are confused all the time. Or are we confusing? New Zealand flicks over to Daylight Savings, and hasn't let Australia know. How rude! But it does mean poor Lee was sitting for an hour by himself. In future, we may get Lee's dog - Barney - on as co-host. If you want to see this happen, hit Lee up on Twitter/X! News has run very dry. It's that tim…

Does Anyone Know Where Electricity Comes From? 2:09:11

11M ago2:09:11

2:09:11

Lee is showing off his production skills on this week's Regular Show. But it turns out he just reads waveforms. Starfield is still sitting at number 1 in the charts, with 10 million players! Not to bad, but it begs the question - how many people were playing Fortnite every week to keep it at the number 1 spot for so long? But more importantly, how …

Starrim? Skyfield? 1:53:01

12M ago1:53:01

1:53:01

It's The Regular Show! No gimmicks, names, or funny shenanigans. Ok, so we lied about the shenanigans... With Simone leaving us to our own devices, who's going to keep us in check? No one! Thats who! It's going to be chaos, anarchy, Kyle, and Lee talking about nonsense for three hours straight. Because we know what you guys want. And it's longer, n…

Is our start overstaying it's welcome? Do we need something that slaps? Or a banger? It's not really Lee's birthday, but that won't stop us from wishing Lee anyways. If you see Lee hanging about in the Discord, wish him happy birthday! So, we moved #nuNews to another night to help Lee experience Starfield for his fake birthday. Starfield rocks to t…

It's embarrassing how organised we are. In fact, we could just about be the most organised podcast ever! Lee fights the man-flu to bring you the latest Xbox News. We thank him for his service and sacrifice live on the podcast. He was adequate. There's a ton of more Gamescom news! More stuff happened! The Future Games Show apparently. And guess what…

#GameFace! Squad Ron 1:48:16

1:48:16

August is coming to an end, and so is our Patron's Puzzling Picks. Kyle and Simone have continued with ExoPrimal (against their will) and are trying hard to follow the "story" and "care about the game." All while Lee has completely given up on it. Simone is warming up to Stray. Maybe it takes a while to let the cat out of this bag? Kyle has some th…

1y ago1:18:53

1:18:53

All the Xbox News from the last week. We help you catch up on everything you've missed. And things you haven't. Lee is rebelling against society by not taking photos of his food. What even is this? How can you just get your food, and *not* take a photo? It boggles the mind. Xbox will soon allow you to stream to your Discord servers! Straight from t…

#GameFace! Horsing Around 1:30:04

Patrons Puzzling Picks is now live! That's right folks, Patron's Puzzling Picks is now live, and we even have our first completion from the event. Lee was so excited with his Horse Game that he spent all weekend playing it. How does it stack up next to Diablo? How did he win the Horse Cup Award? Did he make lifelong friends in Horse Valley? So many…

#NuNews: It’s Good If You Use It 1:45:17

1y ago1:45:17

1:45:17

You didn't know you needed this news. Just like that bacon and egg pie you're currently craving... We race into pole position with the release of F1 Manager 2023, and that seems to be the only good game coming out this week. Nothing is of note, so Lee struggles to stay awake. Can Kyle's puns keep him awake? This week is controller news heavy - from…

#GameFace! They Can’t Nerf This Build 1:22:42

1y ago1:22:42

1:22:42

We've become to powerful! They cannot nerf us. Kyle goes on a tirade against Adobe and their so-called photo organisation tools. Or lack thereof. Causing him to lose most of his photo backup. This has nothing to do with games, but since you're listening, we are just going to assume you care about our lives now. Patrons Puzzling Picks is about to ki…

#NuNews: Write the Headlines You Want to See 1:47:43

Lee keeps running out of news. It's clearly time to start making stuff up. After much struggling, we find some news for you. Because we're kind like that. And because you deserve it. Now it's up to you to share the podcast with your friends and family... Xbox allows mapping keyboard keys to controller buttons. Is this because World of Warcraft is c…

Next month our gaming future is in your hands. Who's chosen to be cruel, and who's chosen to be kind? In August, we're doing Patron's Puzzling Picks - leaving our gaming future up to our Patreons. Is this a good idea or a great idea? And to make sure we don't suffer alone, we're getting the Patrons to choose games for their fellow Patrons! It's Chr…
