One Life Left

Dan Marshall put out a call and we answered that call for this week Dan joins us as our SSG! He's here talking all things Earth Must Die including influences , rubbing shoulders with comedians and dealing with Ste's puritanical Steam feed! We also have the MS Game Pass price hike, Lego Gameboys, Amazon Spring clean their game service yet again and Charlesbot writes a K-pop song! There's still time...

Had this episode been released closer to Halloween, and/or I been a braver person, I would've given it the title "Grave Reads" because this week our Super Special Guest is none other than Sam Read-Graves, creator of the ONLY trolley problem themed video game worth YOUR time, funnily enough called Trolley Problem Inc. Sam is here to talk about development of his new game Task Time as well as how to...

Bosched it is a new technical term invented by Ste and we want everyone to start using this until we start to hear it everywhere. Write in and give us some ideas as to the finer points of what it actually means. Meanwhile, this episode, we have Team OLL going on a ramble, Borderlands 4 hiccups, Lenovo Legion being too popular, fans resurrecting The Crew, EA release another footie game and Sega are...

In this episode we have Simon spying on other podcasts, a Nintendo Direct dissect, US Patent Gaming Mechanic Shenanigans, game release timing faux pas and Acclaim is the name of the game. Again.

How DO Venn diagra...

Hello! By the time you read these notes (does anyone?!) I will already be on holiday and, as I still have to pack(!) these notes will be 'short' and 'sweet'!

Speaking of games! Here are some very impo...

Content warning: This week there is blood. There may also be some gore but that's all down to how good/bad your imagination is. In this week's episode Simon gives out sound financial advice that could help fund your gaming addicition and Ste tries to cut off his own finger - not on air! We also cover Gamepass being under fire yet again, Hideo Kojima wants to go into orbit, AI uh oh, Nintendo Direc...

Content warning: There was some swearing in this episode. Don't worry, it has been replaced by BLEEEEEEPs but I'm giving you a heads up now so that your imagination doesn't run too wild upon hearing those BLEEEEEEPs. I've kept the un-BLEEEEEEPed version in case anyone wants to pay good money for such filth in future. Also, apologies for any mouse-clicks and chair-squeaking that could be heard on r...

CONTENT WARNING - This show includes a sports massage. Not, like, as a free gift for you, though something could be arranged, maybe. Let's not completely rule that out right this minute. Anyway, no, it's a descriptive thing. One of our intrepid hosts finds himself needing of some physio so gets a sports massage. From two ladies. Both called Sophie. Look, if that sounds far fetched then don't blame...

Mea...

Don't expect stunningly well crafted notes like last week, dear listeners. I think I burnt myself out a bit, there. This week you'll mostly get a list. Enter at your own peril. This week: No SSG! Simon is recovering from showing off his dart skills in Barcelona Ste made yet more games Star Wars: Hunters is being switched off (and it's not even been out a year...) There was a Phil Harrison jest at...

Does One Life Left have an SSG this week? A) Yes - it's Chris Read from Fantata, here to talk about Quizzle/Fast Five, amongst other things. B) Yes - it's Clippy, the famous MS Office Assistant, here to discuss his triumphant return as the face of AI. He butt-dialled Simon to ask to be on. C) No. D) Victoria Pendleton. Which of these is covered in the news section by Charlesbot? A) The cost of the...

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the show that doesn't know when to quit!! This week we have PSN going down and some Sony customers over-reacting, Football Manager 2025 getting a red-card and some FM fans over-reacting, Troy Baker beating AI and... nobody over-reacting... I don't think... Meanwhile, here's another reminder that ResonanceFM, our home on the radio waves, are r...

This week the boys have been "down the darts" and "down the football" and generally leaning into their blokeyness in blokey ways but then it's all back to "normal" for another episode of the One Life Left radio show! (This is the podcast edition of the radio show that you're listening to, just in case you didn't know.) This episode we have Simon being performance art and releasing TWO games this w...

Meanwhile we also have a crazy number of Steam games in 2024, Atari teasing a new handheld, Rockstar have bi...
