One Life Left

Thought you'd heard the last from us in 2024, did ya?! Well, you were wrong! Santa's put you on the nice list so here's a bonus episode of OLL just for YOU. This episode was originally broadcast on September 24th this year on the Yogscast Twitch channel as part of Pickaxe Week and has a Super Special Guest in the form of Ozan from Perfectly Paranormal showing off their latest game: The Holy Gosh D...

Hope you're full of festive cheer, dear listeners! We have a Santa's sack full of gaming related goodies for you this week. There's Game Awards bla bla bla, Balatro is still pronounced Balatro, more Game Awards bla bla bla, Ciri grows up, DBrand's cheeky Switch 2 "reveal", Funko Pop kill itch.io and Xbox get into darts! There's also loads of lovely letters to get through and, with a week to go bef...

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dearest listeners! This week we have Devolver delays, PS2 sells loads, Xbox fight Google, Slow Game Club and the Lego Bond we nearly got!!! Meanwhile should we be worried that Ste is seeing both his doctor and his dentist in the same week?! Don't forget that Maraoke will be LIVE on the Jingle Jam stream on Twitch on Saturday 7th December at 5pm AND tick...

This week there are flimsy cards, Simon turns 53, Sony attempt another handheld and shadows are important! There's also undercover "journalism" as Ste goes all Cook Report and stalks/hounds/illegally records/chats to (delete as appropriate) Keith Stuart at GaMaYo! Which is also where we had a great time and heard A codename for the Switch 2! But was it the correct codename?! Only time will tell......

Before you ask - no, this is not an Xbox (Hi, Microsoft! Thought you might appreciate us playing along with your latest PR campaign! Send any payments/Xbox goodies to us via the usual email, OK? Ta!) This week, dearest of listeners, we have Overcooked! revelations, Xbox do marketing (see above), Nintendo patrol the high seas for pirates (ah harr!), game "awards" and starter packs? Starter packs!!...

This week we ask the BIG questions: Who is following us on Bluesky? What is a turnip driver? Is a disk drive a dongle?? We also discover AI's weakness, Netflix kill off their interactive shows, the Borderlands movie never happened, Ste shoots all the time in everyday life, Simon has "beef" with "the man" and what exactly is all this UKIE shenanigans, anyway?! We also talk about upcoming appearance...

WARNING: This show contains a brief mention of private body parts that Ste probably still hasn't heard! Shocking! It's OK, though, coz it's related to something glow-in-the-dark that was bought in Blackpool! Oo-er! ANYWAY! SSG klaxon ahoy! This week we are joined by Paul Monaghan who recently interviewed Simon as part of his amazing work collecting games magazine journos and telling their stories...

Isn't it horrible when someone leaves you out of something? Well, dear listeners, this week we discover how a veteran Edge writer has been left out of a new periodical written by veteran Edge writers!!! The injustice!! We also have Charlesbot evolving into something that swears and says "aaah" a lot, the "console arms race" has levelled out and it's Tetris aaaaaaall the way down. Tetris! Plus much...

Hello! Welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the podcast version of the video game radio show that is now "officially" old enough to buy alcohol (in the UK, anyway). This week we have more licence "owning" shenanigans, speculate over top secrets at Nintendo (who have also just invented the alarm clock), Konami get cosy with FIFA, Ste had general anaesthetic AND created a bot while Simon ha...

This week Field Commander Byron starts a war against TIGA (maybe), Ubisoft shares take a nosedive and Nintendo sues on the Daly, amongst many other things, gaming and non-gaming related. Meanwhile I run out of time to write what I wanted to write but, trust me, it was going to be amazing! Don't forget to send us your questions! Send them to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord, leave a...

This week we have Kojima doing his usual, Zelda winning stuff, Kutaragi claims everyone thought PS would fail and do you buy or lease your games?! Does anyone actually know anymore?!? Meanwhile Field Commander Byron went to Spain and Ste continued work apace on the OLL game now known as "Make Diamonds"! Don't forget there's another Maraoke coming up this Friday (4th October) at Loading Stoke Newin...

On the show this week we have more Switch 2 rumours while Nintendo take Palworld to court and Sony pour $400million down the drain at the same time as preparing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation. Woo! Meanwhile we have another Maraoke coming up on Friday 4th October at Loading Stoke Newington! Tickets available HERE! Would you like to hear your name read out on the show? Well, you h...

It's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 2024 as Simon continues his quest for world domination via election to the board of UKIE!! If you're eligible to vote then VOTE SIMON and it'll be drinks for everyone around at Buck House if he gets voted in*! Meanwhile we also ponder how to pronounce Godot, question how many more lamp-posts the PS5 Pro will give us and apologise for the lack of Switch...

We're back with another episode 1! We talk about things, we discuss stuff and we take no prisoners! For any new listeners considering using this episode as a "jumping on" point: Welcome! Come in! Don't let 18 years of vague/near zero "continuity" scare you! Here's a quick, absolutely non-comprehensive, guide to help: - Review scores are always 7/10. Meanwhile, we need suggestions for our appearanc...

This is the last episode of this season - join us next season to find out what happens in the adventures of our intrepid duo! This has been a One Life Left production brought to you by Ste Curran voiced by Steve Kurran and Simon Byron voiced by Bainsy Bainsington. Charlesbot is played by some hamsters in wheels rigged up to a keyboard and a microphone. Technology today, eh? DON'T FORGET there's st...

Well, listeners, this week It Did Not Come Home. Unless your home is in Spain, obviously. Meanwhile Simon goes on stage, Nintendo get scary and Mickey Mouse gets pickpocketed. Plus lots more video game related news and general banter! There's another Maraoke coming up! Where and when?! Friday 2nd August at Loading Peckham! Get your tickets here: https://lu.ma/ax682w5w What Olympic sport would you...

This week we learn that things are going to be "OK" whilst, also, that there is always fear. It's an important life lesson that we probably don't make enough song and dance about. Also, at the point of recording AND of the podcast release of this episode, IT may still be coming home. I mean, IT likely won't but we're in that Schrödinger's Football Championship zone where anything can happen. Howev...

This week OLL is coming home, we're Shure of it! We talk about AAA games not doing well on iPhone, a grown man having a tantrum at Nintendo, the Cyberpunk sequel being more American and Steam members having a lot of unplayed games! We also reveal that Ste is not a Saudi prince and Simon doesn't appear to be a fan of the Tour de France. And, yes, I appear to have fixed the issues Ste mentions in th...

Iiiiiiin this week's episode of the longest running video game radio show in the English language we have Keef Stuart's skin-care regime, a Nintendo leak runs dry, Elden Ring's DLC doesn't go down well and GAME to sell what, exactly? Or are they carrying on as "normal"?! Who knows... There's also part 1 of what is possibly a one part series from Simon on "How to Set Up a Political Party" in our ex...

This week we have blown over tomato plants, collapsing gazebos, how to get Steam games cheaper (just launch a class action against Valve), a Ubisoft dev can help us ignore Musk, SW: Outlaws might be boring and Xbox might get a handheld. Meanwhile one of our presenters might be getting cancelled but can you guess which one?! We also discuss Steam's recent Next Fest and the Mad(rid) Games Show! Do y...

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, the video game radio show presented by Simon "Undisputed King of Comedy" Byron and Ste "Product of a Thatcherite Economy" Curran! On this week's episode we discuss the prices for Summer Games Fest, Blumhouse hit a six, Tetris now demands your blood and Ste applies for a job in a pixelated Ikea. What a load of Roblox! We also get an update on Ste and Sim...

Thanks to our podcast platform having a hiccup, everything I'd originally written and hyperlinked got wiped out but, unlike a corrupted video game save that put me off playing a game for life, I can't walk away this time so, here, these are not the greatest show notes in the world, no, these are just a tribute... This week we have, albeit briefly, the Origin Story of Why Simon is in The Shed. Kind...

This week Simon briefly sounds like a robot (but it's not the mics fault, corporate overlords!) and Ste doesn't go to Buckingham Palace but, hold the front page, WE HAVE AN SSG!!! We're joined by Jupiter Hadley who tells us all about new indie game showcase Brilliant Indie Treasures which is aiming to take down Develop whilst also helping us to execute a bank heist. While those two things may fail...

We have corporate overlords! We now influence people! Hear our "wonderful" voices in all their "glory" thanks to the new microphones we've been gifted by the lovely folk at Shure and then click on this link and, maybe, buy one for yourselves!! https://tag.gs/OneLifeLeft_Shure (In all seriousness, I used to use Shure mics back when I was in a band and again when doing production work and they're re...

Welcome, dear listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left video game radio show and another set of lovingly hand-crafted, "artisanal", show notes with zero AI influence whatsoever! This week Simon holds in his wee to bring you this show, we mention something questionable (but definitely biological so it's OK) at least twice, Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham football club (and nobody else) get...
