There's a lot of Destiny talk this week. We get surprisingly deep about the nature of competitiveness in loot based shooters towards the end, but yes, lots of Destiny. We Played... Calum shoots and survives in a whole new area with Apex Legends Season 3: Meltdown Euan has an emotional experience behind the wheel in Neo Cab We both play the new Mike Bithel joint John Wick Hex which manages to be bo...

This is the calm before the storm folks. It's not even really all that calm, but there are video games on the horizon that are going to need played. We all need to be ready. We Played... Calum played new Spiders RPG Greedfall. He has a great fondness for Spiders previous products, so is excited to talk about the new one. Euan plays many small games including electronic pop journey Sayonara Wild He...

As the video game season picks up, we both play some weird ass video games. They are weird for separate reasons, but still very strange. We Played... Euan has his mind bent by the new Remedy game Control Calum experiences hard anime action in Astral Chain In The News... Calum does a very quick run down of The International, cause apparently people still play DOTA2? ...and more Intro Music - There...

Euan got a cat and surprisingly still finds time to talk about video games! We Played... Euan plays a roguelike so roguelike it even has rogue in the name in Streets of Rogue (it's not THAT rogue-like) and has a visual novel hit way too close to home with Eliza Calum wrangles space dinos and man sized penguins in Age of Wonders: Planetfall We both spend time in space doin' what good southern space...

After our week break, we've got a lot to talk about. So much so, we skipped the news. No excited chat about EVO from Calum from another 2 weeks. We Played... Euan plays the new (old) David Cage game Detroit: Become Human, and finds it to be very heavy handed. Shocker. Calum engages the minds of digital youth in Fire Emblem: Three Houses We both played Wolfenstein: Youngblood and were very disappoi...

We're in the low energy part of the video game year. Not going to stop us talking about them though. Even if they are from 2013... We Played... Calum plays My Time At Portia, a relaxing cartoony take on the Harvest Moon genre, and drops on Apex Legends: Season 2 to find it much more deserving of attention than season 1. Euan delivers justice in Judgement and goes back in time to the 2008 financial...

Post E3 hit us pretty hard. After a month of waiting, we're finally back. So which button is record again...? We Played... Euan played that game everyone on twitter is talking about Outer Wilds and explored and danced his way through Hyrule in Cadence of Hyrule Resident Destiny correspondent Calum gives us the details on the latest update for Destiny 2:Season of the Drifter, and continues his infa...

Even Eurovision can't stop the video game drought. Luckily we still found games to talk about. We Played... Euan played strange adventure game Unforseen Incidents and, of course, strangely real world-like hacking game NITE Team 4 Calum screams and swings medieval weaponry in Mordhau and casually explores the persistent online version of Tamriel in Elder Scrolls Online In The News... World of Warcr...

We expected this show to be short. Even when there aren't video games, we still manage to talk about video games for over an hour. We Played... Calum talks about the incredibly mild Destiny 2 controversy during the spring event "The Revelry" Euan takes a very British jaunt to another planet in 39 Days to Mars and talks about the staggering creativity already in the Dreams Early Access event In The...

Calum returns to existence after his wrestle based isolation! We Played... Calum played Pathfinder:Kingmaker,and found its surprisingly important to the current difficulty discourse. Euan is enjoying Yoshi's Crafted World and Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden for very different reasons. In The News... Jason Schreier is at it again, with a huge article outlining how Anthem ended up in the state it was...

After last week, we figured everyone would want some discussion of some traditional, grounded video games. So Devil May Cry 5... We Played... Calum tries the new offers from the Drifter in Destiny 2 Season of the Drifter and participates in the stylish, hard, wacko action in Devil May Cry 5. Euan tries British FMV game Late Shift, manages life and thrall in Cultist Simulator, and plays with mechs...

I know the start of this show will make it sound like we are real adults. Trust me, we are just as scared of that idea as you are. We Played... Euan finishes 1/4 of Resident Evil 2 and seems to enjoy much of his experience. Calum has finished Kingdom Hearts 3, more from that will come later. We, like seemingly the entire rest of the world, have been playing Apex Legends. We feel secure in saying i...

It's 2019 and we are still doing this huh? And you are still listening? Well, alright then....here we go. We Played... We both played Resident Evil 2 and discover it does the impossible task of being a game that is both modern and from 1995. Euan continues his other existence in Life is Strange 2 Episode 2 Kingdom Hearts 3 is out and Calum is very excited. 14 years to conclude a story no one under...

The last show before the holiday season, and the even more important GOTY season! Oh god we have to do that don't we?! We Played... Euan finishes Hitman 2 and fails to talk about what The Hex actually is. It's cool though. Calum becomes the mobile general in Command and Conquer: Rivals and ganks the mid lane in Artifact. That sounds like a joke, that's a thing you can actually do in that card game...

Winter rolls in and games slow down. I'm trying to distract from the fact there is more Destiny talk this show (although this time Calum gets involved). We Played... Euan engages the virtual hyperdrives in From Other Suns and throws many objects in Hitman 2 Calum caved to sale pressure and played Destiny 2: Forsaken. He's not proud of himself In The News... The beta for Valve's digital card game A...

I was going to make cowboy jokes here but it seems too obvious somehow...  We Played... Euan finished Return of the Obra Dinn, and has some things to say about the ending Calum gets some funky beats in Lethal League Blaze and talks (again)) about the limited time "raid" in Monster Hunter World We both adopt the outlaw life with Red Dead Redemption 2 In The News... Hellgate: London is back ? Appare...

Getting into late October, imagine there are cobwebs and bats and skeletons and what not around. They might be important, but not more than video games. We Played... Euan (for whatever reason) has a "party" with Super Mario Party and investigates many deaths on an ancient ship in Return of the Obra Dinn Calum runs a fantasy shop...shoppe?...shop in Moonligher and screams at the top of his voice in...

I want to say there's no Destiny talk, but that's a lie. There's a lot MORE chat about PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING THOUGH. THAT'S BETTER RIGHT?!?! We Played... Euan started a new chapter in Life is Strange 2 and replays an old favorite in Transistor Calum becomes BEST FRIENDS with the upper echelons of wrestling talent in Fire Pro Wrestling World, and commands an army of surprisingly charming orcs in S...

I tried to stop him. I really did. Euan talks about Destiny some more... We Played... Yea Euan played Destiny 2 : Forsaken or something. He also managed a cyberpunk anti-terrorist unit in Frozen Synapse 2 We both play Marvel's Spiderman, and I can't think of a non-cliche post joke so i'll just say we played it and it's amazing. In The News... Nintendo hit play on a new Direct, and had some cool an...

When a free lunch is at stake, the brothers try (and fail) to go as fast as possible on this podcast We Played... Euan sees the latest teenage anime war simulator in the Valkyria Chronicles 4 Demo, sees the future of a past great with Two Point Hospital and and makes a HORRIBLE MISTAKE by choosing to play more Destiny 2. Calum finally "gets" Monster Hunter World, sees another class of murderous hi...
