Episode 28: Joe Tempts Fate
Joe bellyached enough about Ape Escape that it seemed that someone was actually listening, how bizarre. He still hates Astro Bot, though. Ryan talks about how he's indoctrinated his Grandma into the streamer lifestyle, and Joe dissects the cultural appeal of Tomb Raider. He doesn't get it, as...
-
Episode 27: Ryan and Dune (not the movie)
Joe went to the Undertale Determination Symphony, played Fire Emblem, and managed to get a bit of Control in. Ryan's been playing a Dune game that's visually distinct from the movies, we promise. We also talk about the state of remakes in the industry, and what we think they should represent.…

Episode 26: Wolverine And The Game For Adult Babies
It's the PlayStation game that they wanted you to love, but you probably don't. Join Ryan and Joe as they desperately try to figure out this confusing mess of a release, and dive into the weird design philosophies that seem to be everywhere at the moment. Ryan also shares his thoughts on hotly...
-
Episode 25: Grand Theft Gamescom
Joe's not played anything this week, he's been trapped on the continent. Ryan's finally beaten Trails in the Sky, and has had a change of heart about a certain small game coming out this November. It's all happening! Ryan and Joe also discuss Kingdom Hearts 4, and the horrific state of DLSS5. A...
-
Episode 24: Ryan Thinks Earthbound Is Real
It's the week before Gamescom, and the industry seems to not want to slow down at all. Joe's uncharacteristically been playing a lot, with one game so boring that it sent him into a week long stupour, and Ryan has been excluding Joe from a Games Club. It's a normal day. Ryan also seems to think...
-
Episode 23: What Even Is Exclusive Anymore?
Joe and Ryan talk about what the hell makes a good exclusive, and why the hell PlayStation doesn't have any of them. Astro Bot sucks. Splatoon Raiders does not suck. Nintendo knows how exclusive games work! Neither of us have played Balan Wonderworld this week.
-
Episode 21: Joe Gets Mad
Join Joe and Ryan as they try something new, and we decide to get into the news! For longtime listeners, Joe gets the chance to bellyache about the very game that began his podcasting career, and Ryan has to listen. And we talk about how great physical media is. And how awful chicken wings are....
-
Checkpoint: Deltarune Chapter 5
After a very normal length episode, and an episode that definitely wasn't lost to Audacity corruption, we're slowing the pace down and talking about Deltarune: Chapter 5. The fifth part of a seven part adventure, there is a lot to talk about with this one! Stick around and listen to Joe and Ryan...
-
Episode 20: Keigh-Three
It's that time yet again. The time of year where we all watch adverts, talk about what we can't play, and get excited to just spend spend spend. It's Keigh-Three! In lieu of Stephen, Ryan and Joe talk about all four major showcases in our longest episode yet! It's a long one, and we're thorough.…

Episode 19: Resident Stephen: Requiem
We lose one, to gain someone else. Join us for this transitionary period, where Stephen bids us farewell, leaves us with some gems, before going to never be heard from again. (This is a lie, he will return, one day.) As a farewell, we talk about 007: First Light, Mina the Hollower, and a little...
-
Episode 18: Star Fox is Back, And So Are We
Star Fox is back - and it's the same game. We talk about it. We also let Stephen talk about Marathon! Joe abandons his british routes, and Hohokum gets a mention. We go all over the place, and we end up having to talk about Bubsy. There really is no escape at all.
-
Episode 17: We Talk Pragmata, and Cod Omelettes
Pragmata is a game that both Stephen and Joe have been looking forward to talking about, and now they can! How exciting! They both also continue the tradition of Prestige British TV, and talk about something so alienating to our American audience, that we might risk losing them. Oh well, this is us.
-
Episode 16: Stephen's Experimental New Podcast
Back down to just two of us, we return to the world of Marathon, while Joe shares all about his PS5 mishaps. We scratch the surface of Pragmata, and Stephen delves into the world of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes! (echoes) That and more, but we will continue to miss Ryan.

Episode 15: We Found The Resident Evil - And Joe's First Censor
We've been talking about Resident Evil, so we talk just a little bit more about Resident Evil. Both of us have played and beaten Resident Evil Requiem, and we both have a lot to talk about with that game! We also talk about a few other games too, including Monster Hunter Stories 3, Chrono…

Episode 14: Joe Is A Happy Man
This episode, we continue our retrospective of the Resident Evil franchise, stopping by Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and their remakes to see what we feel like still works for the franchise. We also talk about a certain game from a certain Suda51, and dig into the ethically dubious world of...
-
Episode 13: Stephen Eats Crow
In celebration of a certain such game releasing in a couple of weeks, we're romping through the Resident Evil games. We find ourselves at a crossroads with Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village, and we have to work it out. It's a clash that might cause the end of this podcast - but probably...
-
Episode 12: Metroidvania-mania
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the game of the week, here. And it is most definitely a game. A very bad one. Join us as we tear into why this near-decade long wait wasn't at all worth it, as well as us exploring the other games in the series. Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Dread, you name it....
-

We return, following up on the speculation of Myles Mackenzie with the truth of Myles Mackenzie. Joe shares his in progress thoughts about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, while both Stephen and Joe get into the weeds of Horses (the game, not the animal). Stephen also discovers a dark secret about Super...
-
Episode 9: Stephen's Trio Of Terror
In case you were worried that Stephen had been taken by some kind of alien creature in the last episode, he's back on good form and sharing all kinds of negativity over games that he's played in the last couple of weeks. From DoubleFine to Activision, nobody is safe. Joe also gets on the train…
more -
Episode 8: The Levels Look Okay
That Katamari game finally came out, and we have things to say about it! Joe also plays Metal Gear Solid 2 for the first time, where Stephen trudges through the streets of Silent Hill (several times). Joe also reminds us that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a terrible video game. That and…
more -
Episode 7: Stephen's Freudian Slip (And Stuff)
Join Stephen and Joe again as they return to their roots with just the two of them, talking about a healthy amount of Stuff this time. We love stuff. Do you love stuff? As well as stuff, we also let Stephen have a Freudian moment of fear, and we talk about Hades 2. Joe also gets aggy about Ghost…

Friend Request (Episode 2): The Silksong Episode

Episode 6: We Sit On A Bench
Join Stephen and Joe as they sit on a bench before hunting the ghosts of their past lives, and as they play Hollow Knight. In a pre-Silksong special (even though the game is out now), we both talk about how we're finding the game over 6 years after the sequel was announced. It's taken a while to...

Episode 5: Joe Eats a Banana, Stephen is a Fraud
Join us for yet another episode of chatting! We talk about a certain monkey's return to platformer glory, and Stephen's playthrough of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and only Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. There are no other games that Stephen has been playing this month. That would be absurd. We also...
-
Episode 4: Stephen is a Sicko, Joe is Not
Another week - another episode! This week, Stephen and Joe talk about how Stephen might be the sickest person known to man. He shares his experiences with The Alters, Atomfall (we are British, after all), and a good little segment on Ninja Gaiden 2! Joe, however, has stuck themselves back into...
