Gonarch's Lair episode 45: The Wise Guys

The Gonarch's Lair and Off-Planet podcasts

Fellow facehuggers, you are formally invited to hound our hostile hosts through this 40th anniversary appreciation of the birth of the most iconic sci-fi horror franchise of all time; the first act features the quarter pumpers paying a passing visit to Lair 2.0 to play three games set in the Alien universe: Alien vs. Predator arcade, Alien 3 on the Mega Drive, and Aliens arcade. Our chestbursters are then accompanied in their airlocked abyss by Simon to discuss Travel Man, My Dad Wrote a Porno, Fried Green Tomatoes, Super Meat Boy Forever, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, the Claw technique, Black Summer, and football game commentary; we reveal the winner of this month’s Falling Ballz Community Challenge, we proposition our Frisco fans, and share our opinions on the controversy surrounding the Epic Games Store. The predatory panel also ponder upon Cilla Black, rubber ducks, Des Lynam, deep baths, Ringo Starr, the watershed, Miranda Richardson, Chilean miners, and Gary Lineker; we deliver an update on the Talented Few in an unstable Sensi Soaks update, drop a selection of ageing memes, and Ross reveals his new and almost unbelievable gaming technique. Pubic topiary includes Ross using his mind meld, Thom confusing tenses and Simon comparing himself to Headcrab royalty.
