Never Be Game Over

Grab a roast chicken from a bin and beat a man's head in with a lead pipe.

Grab your racoon shaped hat, grow your moustache to insane proportions, it's time to get redempted

Three impartial outside observers (ourselves) are brought in to assess ourselves

Goats, you say? And Sushi-men? Now this I gotta see!

And now for something completely different. Join power mad Sam and special guest @Rooflemonger for a look back at the game some have called 'the predecessor to Baldur's Gate 3'

They've all got 'em! Even the perfect, most bewdifullest game has a few...blemishes here and there. But do these abberations just increase the beauty of the whole? As they say on my favourite TV show - let's find out!

Some bastard's gone and stolen our entire very heavy banana horde - and we think the crocodile man surounded by nanas is a top suspect. Time to go on a roaring rampage of revenge the likes of which gaming has never seen

We face our trauama in a group setting and reveal the biggest disappointments gaming has ever inflicted upon us

It's the day Mike and Sam have long dreaded, as it's finally time to dive into a game that Chris is allegedly quite partial to. How long will his monologues be? Will Mike or Sam murder him by the end? Will they be left with a lust for revenge?   What's the worst that could happen?

Moving. It's a ballache. You know it and God knows I know it. What you need is reinforcements from the roster of the widest trove of freaky characters this side of Marvel comics. But WHO is the character, out of the whole trough of gaming, that you'd ask to help you move house? The biggest question of our time is about to be answered.

Brotherly love, eh? There's nothing quite like it. Join us, as we take on the epic tale of two brothers (in crime) and a much less interesting character, and compare it to our own families, along with the many murders and other such crimes we've committed

It was 1993. And a bunch of kids were about to have their minds blown by a look into what the future of cinema held. For 1993 was the year WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH.

RATS - it's exactly what you likely exclaimed when you realised that this damn podcast was returning and you were obligated to keep listening. But fear not, as we return with the fury of a million plague ridden RATS, which you better pray we can control with our mind! RATS.

Murdered a baby penguin in front of its mother? Taken a suspiciously large amount of Ellie photos in the 'Last of Us' remake? Intentionally let the theme of your hospital be 'you're covered in rats and piss'? Let's face it, gaming has allowed us to all do some pretty weird things over the years, unleashing our darkest inner selves, revealing their Exorcist-like faces to the world.   Here's our wei...

In a more innocent age, the world was divided in two - Sega and Nintendo. But then a new player entered the game and a new mascot was needed. One who sexually assaults hogs and jumps like a total weirdo

Ah, the guilty pleasure. The dodgy satisfier. The tasty turd. Join us, as we look back at our favourite games that are, undeniably, shit.

When? The future. Who? The red-haired dick who saved Meridian. What horsie? A robot one whose mind you stole. The lads tighten our bowstrings and get ready to start smashing - as we look back at 'Horizon - Zero Dawn'!

Let's be honest, it's clear this podcast is treading water. Taking *on* water. It's time for new blood. Just like sometimes you have to add Danny DeVito to a show to make it the best thing in existence, we're not so proud that we can't admit that our podcast is a real turd - and the only answer is new personnel. So, join us, as we have a tense roundtable to decide which games character we think ha...

Sega may have done what Nintendon't but it turns out that what Nintendidn't was shit their business down the pan by not making a weirdly off-brand adaptation of a film franchise about an assassin who smashes cocktails, smashes ladies and smashes the plans of megalomaniacs worldwide. Yep, we come to a weird granddaddy here, a game that, all things being equal, should never have achieved the level o...

You know, you've gotta stop bottling things up, dude. There's no shame in just letting it come out every once in awhile, just letting those tears well up until they flow down your face and cleanse you right to the SOUL. We make the choice to feel our feelings - as we discuss our top moments in gaming that have made us drop a tear (or indeed several)

Our 2nd series is here - and naturally it must start in the most obvious possible way, as we start as we mean to go on - with a frankly intolerable amount of references to Metal Gear! We can only pray you'll forgive them in an episode directly about one of the games, so get ready to meet the president-pussy grabber, to need some scissors, and travel naked through the colon.

Shame. Regret. Self-reflection. All things that we feel when looking back at our 'distinguished' Hall of Fame for our first series. We cast our eyes back over our rankings, our insane scores and the flimsy justifications for them. Just how much sorrow can three men feel in one sitting?

It was inevitable, really. With at least one of us unable to go five minutes without referring to Metal Gear, we were only ever going to be ending our first series with one game. So, is old Hideo going to come through for us with some weird, charming, nonsensical, compelling, incoherent bullshit? Well, there's a reason he's called 'the man who delivers'!

A toot of cocaine before that big meeting. A belt of whiskey before your child's christening. A tab of LSD before sitting down to watch 'Cats' (2019). Life is constantly being improved by little helpers here and there - but which little helpers, or 'powering-ups', from gaming would we most like to have in our own lives?
