Episode 35 is here whether we like it or not. It's the situation now, we can't change it and must simply adapt to the new normal. But our lovely co-hosts are here to talk games into your waiting ears and make the transition to the new world a bit smoother.Alex explores a depressingly prescient fascist London in Watch Dogs: Legion, Ed ingests Alan Wake (more like Alan Woke amirite?) and Sofie basks in laser-targeted nostalgia in Retro Rewind.Next week, we're back on the news!Please consider reviewing us on iTunes and Spotify, and sharing us on social media!For updates on our upcoming episodes, make sure to subscribe and follow us on Twitter or increasingly BlueSky:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your hosts are:Alex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@alexduin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alexduin.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sofie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreelymedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreely.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, streaming on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/sofreely⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stillnotalemon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@notalemon.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazing art from Bella Harter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/_.o.bella.o._⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fantastic theme song from brilliantdrink! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundcloud.com/brilliantdrink⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Episode 34 emerges over the horizon, shambling and heaving.

It's episode 33! Like Expedition 33! Remember that? Clobbers? Crazy days, right?Reminiscing aside, we have a great episode this week. A games one as well! Ed waxes rhapsodical about Dark Souls 2: The Second One, and Alex causes an eruption in questionable accents by talking about Mafia: Definitive Edition.

NOTICE: This episode originally went out with a small (and embarassing!) editing error where Sofie's voice was only on the right speaker. This has been fixed, so if you replay/download the episode this should be sorted! Apologies!Hello, and welcome to episode thirty-two! Like the Commodore CD32! And it's a news one!Alex (and the others) talk at some length about the suspiciously-timed news about DLSS5 - get ready to get inappropriately glammed up! But then we follow up with Sofie on PS5 price hikes and Ed on Fortnite firing an absurd number of people.

Episode 31 arrives, and it's a games one - Sofie gets Kojima-pilled from finishing Death Stranding, Alex gets super-relevant with Resident Evil 9, er, 7, and Ed thrills with Assassins' Creed Brotherhood (or Broho if you're freaky).

Episode 30 has dawned, and it's a banger: we have a guest! Today we welcome the unsurpassed Meghna Jayanth! The fabled writer of 80 Days, Sable and of course Thirsty Suitors joins us to discuss her upcoming game All Will Rise. But more pertinently (because this is a news episode!) she tells us about how her studio Speculative Agency have courageously broken a contract with Microsoft because of their support for genocide, and proscription by BDS.But it's still a news episode, so Ed tells us about Xbox's upcoming console plans (which for obvious reasons we don't think you should buy!) and Sofie updates us on accusations of treachery at the developer of the ill-fated Mindseye.

The New Podcast Order continues, and we're back talking about the games we've been playing - and you can't stop us! Alex indulges in some (now already passé, according to recent news events) Latin American adventurism in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Ed re-enters the comforting waters of the cyberrealm in Journey of the Gods. and Sofie fantasises about working for Amazon in Death Stranding.

Weekly episodes continue, and now we're back to the news episode. And of course, a bunch of news broke almost immediately after we recorded! So if you think it's weird we don't mention something, that's why. Maybe in two weeks?But we've got great stuff anyway: Ed details the AI-pocalypse that's making all hardware more expensive, Sofie mourns the possible collapse of service games, and Alex tells you about a better-than-expected State of Play.Come back next week for the games we've been playing!Please consider reviewing us on iTunes and Spotify, and sharing us on social media!For updates on our upcoming episodes, make sure to subscribe and follow us on Twitter or increasingly BlueSky:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your hosts are:Alex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@alexduin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alexduin.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sofie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreelymedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreely.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, streaming on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/sofreely⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stillnotalemon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@notalemon.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazing art from Bella Harter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/_.o.bella.o._⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fantastic theme song from brilliantdrink! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundcloud.com/brilliantdrink⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

It's the continuation of our revolutionary fervour in the new age of the podcast: welcome to the first dedicated games episode!First up, Alex will get NATO-pilled with Battlefield 6, but then we're on to the main event - CLOBBERGEDDON LOOMS.That's right, along with Alex, Ed and Sofie have now played and finished last year's sensation Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Welcome to the new age of the Red Barrels Podcast! Huge changes are afoot in the podcast realm - we're going weekly!That's right, from now on every single week (illness and so on aside) you will be getting a new episode of the pod. But we're still doing this for free, so how can we make that happen logistically? The answer is that we're splitting the podcast in two - the games in one episode, and the news in the next, alternating each week. So, (whisper it) the episodes will also be shorter!This week, we are doing the news, specifically so that every morsel will be crisp and fresh. Alex and Ed talk about big layoffs at Ubisoft and Meta VR respectively, and inevitably, as turns out he was involved in every aspect of our corrupt society, Sofie chats about Jeffrey Epstein.Thanks for joining us as we transition to greatness, and we'll see you next week!

We're back again with episode twenty-three! Alex experiences the very Dead Rising, Sofie wallows in Stardew Valley (and likely not for the last time) and Ed aims for total extraction in Factorio. Meanwhile, in the news Anthem may be snatched from the jaws of oblivion, we indulge Ed's true passion in life, and most importantly we discuss the most astonishing GTA VI leak imaginable.

It's a new year, and inevitably, a new episode. The gang's all here: Sofie very unambiguously doesn't endorse buying Hogwarts Legacy, Ed moseys confidently in Red Dead Redemption 2, and Alex basks in his absolute and uncontested vindication in Metroid Prime 4. Christmas meant some slow news, but we talk about Vince Zampella's legacy and have a group discussion about Xbox's woes. 2026 will be the year the revolution comes!Please consider reviewing us on iTunes and Spotify, and sharing us on social media!For updates on our upcoming episodes, make sure to subscribe and follow us on Twitter or increasingly BlueSky:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your hosts are:Alex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@alexduin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alexduin.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sofie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreelymedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreely.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, streaming on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/sofreely⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stillnotalemon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@notalemon.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazing art from Bella Harter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/_.o.bella.o._⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fantastic theme song from brilliantdrink! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundcloud.com/brilliantdrink⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The year is almost over and that can only mean it's time for the most august and respected award ceremony of the festive season: The Most Ideologically Correct Game of the Year 2025 award. You can count on the Red Barrels Podcast to objectively determine the most politically pure title of the last 12 months - though unfortunately it's such a forgone conclusion that we have no choice but to do the rest of the podcast anyway, including a dissection of the much more reactionary Keighleygasm Game Awards.As a result, we talk games as usual, getting unexpectedly relevant in KOTOR and cutting a swathe through Hyrule Warriors. We also talk about the Horses controversy, BUT - most excitingly we also have an exclusive interview with Sara from No Games For Genocide to talk about their recently launched campaign to boycott Xbox.

The impossible has happened - with episode 20 the Red Barrels Podcast has reached it's one year anniversary! One whole year! And to celebrate, instead of our usual game coverage we've done a deep-dive into the phenomenon of so-called "friendslop" games. We even got into a little Peak!But to do this properly we really need a new friend to help us out and so we are joined by none other than the superstar streamer Littlebear36! Yes! Really! LB's an old hand at the friendslop and is a wonderful presence on the pod too.

Episode 19 descends upon us all, and thankfully Sofie is back to carry the load with us! She's indulging in her vampiric dependencies by playing Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines: 2, Alex got gud and finished Silksong, and Ed hisses at his own reflection in a window in Stray.In the news, we express full solidarity with Rockstar's disgracefully fired staff, commiserate over more Amazon games layoffs, and see what the UK Parliament had to say about the Stop Killing Games campaign.Most importantly, next episode will be our one year anniversary!

Sadly no Sofie today as she is still stricken with the plague. But Ed and Alex continue to make do, and somehow manage to cobble together a banger episode nonetheless!We're finally delving into controversy as Ed experiences Mass Effect 3 and it's notorious ending, while Alex rollicks around feudal Japan - again! - in Ghost of Yōtei. In the news we have a game workers' roundup and a very sad obituary.

We're back! And gaming as hard as ever. Today, Ed talks about a little-discussed obscure game called Dark Souls, Alex frankly way overshoots his obligations by reviewing fifty whole games in UFO 50, and Sofie releases pent-up angst about the entire Sims franchise.In the news, we get into the fun news of EA's purchase by Saudi Arabia, all the excitement of Tokyo Game Show, and what incredibly is some actually unambiguously good developments in the ongoing ZA/UMageddon. They said it couldn't happen!Also, The World Transformed is happening! And will be really good!

As in all our lives, the sixteenth instance of this podcast is maybe the most impactful imaginable. That's because we have the unbelievable double whammy of the triumphant return of Sofie, along with an incredible all-Silksong game discussion. We've all been playing it! We have thoughts! Your mouth is watering at the prospect of tasting our scandalous difficulty discourse takes!

It's another episode of the Red Barrels podcast, but this time we're down a member - Sofie has swanned off to South Africa (to see "family", as if that's an excuse), so it's an opportunity to have a deep dive into the depravity of Ed and Alex.But when the cat's away, the mice will play! There's no one to stop us from going full Nintendo, so Ed goes all in to discuss Majora's Mask, and Alex talks about the most recent big Switch 2 game Donkey Kong Bananza.We've got news too of course, chatting Silksong and PS6 rumours.

After a very "fun" stay in the hospital, we're back and stronger than ever! It's like that bit in James Brown shows when he'd come back from his agent putting a blanket on him! But lefty videogame chat!So, this time from the hardest working podcasters in games criticism, Alex gommages all over Expedition 33, Sofie dives into Dave the titular Diver, and Ed Unleashes the Force on us all.Then, in the news, it's another Keighleygasm from Gamescom, and depressing (but important!) stuff about censorship and standing up to the Gaza genocide.Please consider reviewing us on iTunes and Spotify, and sharing us on social media!For updates on our upcoming episodes, make sure to subscribe and follow us on Twitter or increasingly BlueSky:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your hosts are:Alex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@alexduin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alexduin.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sofie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreelymedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreely.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, streaming on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/sofreely⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stillnotalemon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@notalemon.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazing art from Bella Harter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/_.o.bella.o._⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fantastic theme song from brilliantdrink! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundcloud.com/brilliantdrink⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We're back! Again! After a break to help out with Games Transformed (hope you enjoyed it if you went!) we're back with a dark portent: the thirteenth episode.In a rebuke to fate itself, we carry on as normal. Ed reminisces about God of War (2005), Sofie talks Animal Crossing and Alex talks for far, far too long about Death Stranding 2, for all you Kojima heads.

Episode 12 is here, and it's a special one! This time all three of us have played - and finished! - the same game, 2024's indie hit, Mouthwashing. So we're going to go for a full dive into it, starting with our general opinions, but eventually going full spoiler to get into all the twists and turns of the story.But if you've not played Mouthwashing (though it's only two hours long, so you may well consider it!), as well as the general discussion, afterwards we'll also have the news as always, as we discuss the Mindseye debacle and the Stop Killing Games campaign.

APOLOGY: Due to some technical issues, the sound quality and volume on Alex's feed was somewhat compromised - we've tried to alleviate it, but it's still noticeable. You'll still probably enjoy the podcast, but just letting you know! We'll try to resolve this by the next ep.- Episode 11 rears its distinguished head and it's new console time, baby! Alex has his hands on a Switch 2 and is ready to tell you all about that and Mario Kart World. Meanwhile, less fortunate peasants Ed and Sofie chat about Split Fiction and Kentucky Route Zero respectively.

It's episode 10, and it's a big one! This time, we are joined by the bespectacled king of political YouTube (or at least the bit with actually decent politics) - it's only Tom Nicholas! That's right, YouTuber and Nebula maven (check out his original documentary Boomers on there too!) pops onto the podcast to say hello and prove his now undeniable gamer cred.Because it's a special episode, we have a slightly different format - we're focusing on one game that we've all played: Citizen Sleeper from Jump Over The Age. After that we move onto the news to talk about Marathon plagiarism, the opposing fates of Giant Bomb and Polygon, and a story we're calling "The Gooners' Dilemma" - if you dare.We're also plugging the upcoming (and guaranteed to be amazing) Games Transformed festival in Bethnal Green, London on 11-12 July: https://buytickets.at/gamestransformed/Polygon (Ex) Staff Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-polygon-workers-and-the-vox-media-unionPlease consider reviewing us on iTunes and Spotify, and sharing us on social media!For updates on our upcoming episodes, make sure to subscribe and follow us on Twitter or increasingly BlueSky:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your hosts are:Alex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@alexduin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@alexduin.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sofie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreelymedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sofreely.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, streaming on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/sofreely⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stillnotalemon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@notalemon.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And featuring Tom Nicholas!: @Tom_Nicholas, @tomnicholas.bsky.socialAmazing art from Bella Harter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/_.o.bella.o._⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fantastic theme song from brilliantdrink! ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundcloud.com/brilliantdrink⁠⁠⁠⁠NOT recorded at MayDay Rooms (but we still love them) - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://maydayrooms.org

We're back! After a brief hiatus due to deep-state persecution, we've bounded back onto the internet, ready to astound and amaze in equal measure with our political and gaming takes.After another riveting round of Who Would Marx Main??, Sofie finishes off Pentiment, Alex uncovers the shocking truth about Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (and the Yakuza series generally), and Ed enters the cyberverse with Death Horizon: Reloaded!

In defiance of reason and good taste, the Red Barrels Podcast has lurched to its fourth episode. Today, we discuss three games: Fallout 2, 1000X Resist and Pentiment, and wring the political content out of them like a wet rag.Then we crash into the news, talking about fascist Fallout mod enthusiasts, the reliability of labour campaigning performed by Sonic the Hedgehog, and then force ourselves to talk about Trump and his tariffs.Please consider reviewing us on iTunes and Spotify, and sharing us on social media!For updates on our upcoming episodes, make sure to subscribe and follow us on Twitter or increasingly BlueSky:⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@redbarrelspodcast.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠Your hosts are:Alex:⁠⁠⁠@alexduin⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠@alexduin.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠Sofie:⁠⁠⁠@sofreelymedia⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠@sofreely.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠, streaming on⁠⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/sofreely⁠⁠⁠Ed:⁠⁠⁠@stillnotalemon⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠@notalemon.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠Amazing art from Bella Harter - https://www.instagram.com/_.o.bella.o._Fantastic theme song from⁠⁠⁠brilliantdrink⁠⁠⁠!Recorded at MayDay Rooms -⁠⁠⁠https://maydayrooms.org/⁠

They said it couldn't happen - the third episode of Red Barrels is here! Alex, Sofie and Ed are back to talk about the games they've been playing, argue about the ideology within them, and then get into the news. Including! The start of a probably regular segment deep-diving into all the drama surrounding the Disco Elysium ZA/UM fallout. IN FACT! Much to our annoyance, merely one day after recording, ZA/UM splinter developers Longdue officially announced their new game (along with a crowdfunder): Hopetown.

Welcome to the second episode of the Red Barrels Podcast! Listen in to a bunch of lefties chatting about games and the politics behind them. Starring Alex, Ed and Sofie, we announce the Red Barrels Podcast's First Annual Most Ideologically Correct Game of the Year award, and then discuss the capitalist behemoth that is the less ideologically correct Game Awards. This is the last podcast of the year, but don't despair - we'll be back in January, hopefully with a more regular schedule!

Welcome to the first episode of the Red Barrels Podcast! Listen in to a bunch of lefties chatting about games and the politics behind them. Starring Alex, Ed and Sofie, we discuss the games we've been playing recently - Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Black Ops 6, and Mass Effect 2 - and then dig into the news. Since this is our first go at this, please excuse some rough edges - proper art and theme music coming soon!
