One Life Left

This is it, dear listeners - the LAST SHOW EVER (this season)! And what a belter we have for you this week... we have Simon throwing a ball over a house (see our Discord for unquestionable proof), rebuilding Gameboys, Charlesbot plays Hunt the Pikachu with Wifebot, Microsoft might finally be killing the "Gamepass Ultimate Upgrade Hack", Nintendo DS charger difficulties, Ste goes to the PC Zone 30t...

In this week's challenging episode, Charlesbot 1.1 fries a circuit when dealing with the MS/Activision resolution(?) news story and almost breaks the show, if not the very internet! Being the professionals that we are, we battle on and wrestle with an easy access battery future, the Gex trilogy coming out again and lots of Develop stuff! We also have an unboxing of the Data Frog SF2000 handheld co...

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left! This week our SSG is some bloke called Ste Curran, Creative Director of Magicave, here to talk about new game Beneath the Six and to invite our listeners to join their Discord - link below! There's also Hangry Simon, live (real) Charles Cecil updates, Final Fantasy 7 spoilers, Charlesbot hard sells Call of Duty, making game stuff 'physical' and a short...

With a title like that, dear listeners, you'd think this was some sort of RPG special episode but it is not. I can only apologise for misselling it like that, and doubly so to any new listeners, maybe RPG fans, who jumped on board only to find a distinct dearth of goblin, or even orc, slaying action. No, in this episode you will instead learn about turning a drum machine off with your foot, that c...

Welcome, dear listeners, new and experienced, to another episode of One Life Left! This week we learn the perils of recording during a work day as spam callers try to sabotage the show. Repeatedly! There's also Sony moaning about Activision secrets, E3 uncertainty, Super Mario causes Simon some problems and Ste had the flu! Meanwhile, in the Exclusive Podcast Intro, there's the latest OLL financia...

Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of the podcast edition of One Life Left, the video game related radio show!

This week our intrepid hosts get all emotional and have a showcase showdown/meltdown, Charlesbot reminisces about the lockdown and Simon turns his house into a pub.

This episode, dear listeners, we find out the latest chapter in The Life Of Simon's Steam Deck - what you hear might shock you! Also, yes, I might've thrown the word "Zelda" into the title to see if it affects download numbers BUT we do a deep dive into the latest Zelda game and why it may or may not be for YOU. Or just what Simon and Ste think, anyway.  Meanwhile, we discover Simon only has two h...

From Simon's trampolining skills and Fast Five Favourite Golf Games to Ste's love of cricket and impending trip to Wembley to see Stockport County FC, this is very much The Sport Episode! Apart from when it's a Zelda Episode... and a Sinden Lightgun Episode... But still mainly Sport. Welcome to One Life Left, a radio show/podcast about video games! To prove that we also discuss a game price push b...

Welcome once again, dearest listeners, to another episode of One Life Left. A video game radio show and "home" of Mortal Kombat news! This week we talk about a new game about 80's puppet sensation Terrahawks' main baddie, Zelda, there's MTV Awards shenanigans, Asus has a Steam Deck rival, Simon builds a terrifying trampoline terrifyingly and, yes, the MS/Activision deal is still crawling along. It...

The original 15 minutes of this episode was so hilarious, so gut-punchingly incendiary and close to the bone that MI5 burst through all our doors, closed the whole thing down and made us start again from scratch. At gunpoint. Like anyone would believe that Ste could forget to press the record button after 17 years of doing this?! Ha! We're just too edgy and dangerous for The Man! Welcome to the la...

Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left, the podcast edition of the video game radio show that is occasionally actually about video games! This week we even have a Super Special Guest: (almost veteran) Steve Hollis from Noisy Head Games! Here to talk about Beyond the Long Night (out now!) and the fact that he won at Easter this year with his Super Special Egg that included chu...

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! It's like the first day of Spring has finally landed, with Sega blue skies, the sound of birdsong and happy gunshots ringing in the air around OLL Towers! We're joined by another NewsBot (3.0?!) as Ste has been busy in his lab, tinkering away to make the bot more *alive*! This week E3 is no more (this year), The Last of Us PC port makes NewsBo...

AnnBot 2.0 (or Ann Scantlebot) continues to learn at an exponential rate as our intrepid heroes return, jetlagged, from the future! This week Charles Cecil is livid at the MS/Activision deal, MindsEye will be Everywhere and Amazon set the Luna access difficulty to "awkward"! We also get a full report of GDC including zero gossip and no games! Well, maybe a little bit of gossip but no names are men...

How diabolical would it be to orchestrate a child's birthday party just to be able to record a radio show with both hosts in the same room? Is it diabolical... or is it genius? Well you be the judge, dear listeners, as for this very episode our intrepid hosts are, in fact, IN THE SAME ROOM for the first time in three years!! And not 24 hours after they both turned down the "big one" of presenting ...

Picture if you will, dear listener, a man. He sits in an armchair in his living room. Alone. He sits and stares at his laptop screen, perched precariously on his knee. He closes his eyes and listens as voices from the computer flood over him. The voices are the presenters of a radio show/podcast that he created. That he once hosted. He hears his own voice speaking back at him, he's just a dear lis...

The BIG Five-Oh-Oh, dearest listeners - both new and long-suffering!

Hello and welcome once again, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week Ste's been coding, Simon checks out some birds, we have game closing conundrums, more Xbox/Activision shenanigans and an inevitable Nintendo Direct is coming, shock horror - though we know of one game they'll absolutely definitely not be announcing as it's always, and never, F-Zero. Meanwhile "Nice" Simon...

Welcome, dear listeners, to another One Life Left. In this episode Simon does some shed drilling*, Ste continues to tinker with AI, creating an alternate dimension history of One Life Left in quiz form, and we discuss our favourite Encanto songs! We also discover Golden Eye 007 has always been buggy, Naughty Dog 'might' move on from Last of Us, Advance Wars is imminent (maybe) and we give our thou...

Welcome once again, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left.

We also find out where Simon keeps his radiator, hear about Ste's Metal Gear Solid ambival...

Welcome to another One Life Left, dear listeners! This week we wax lyrical over video games outselling other 'stuff', Ubisoft promising a 'large one', Stadia releasing one last 'game' and social deduction games being social deductiony. OK, that needs some work... Meanwhile Ste created a game AND wrote something so good that you'd think he was some kind of video games journo or something and Simon...

Happy New Year, dear listeners, and what a start to the year we have for you. Yes, you! Emerging, Ursula Andress-like, from an ocean/river near you is this week's Super Special Guest: Charles Cecil MBE! Alongside game dev anecdotes, Sir Charles also reveals LOADS of upcoming game exclusives just for us - sorry Wendy! (only joking... or am i...?) The one thing Charles didn't do was announce any fam...

Welcome, welcome, once again, to another podcast episode of One Life Left. This week, blow me down with a feather, we have yet another Super Special Guest! Aesir Interactive's Alice Ruppert joins us to talk about horses! Not just any old horses, though. It's all about horses in gaming, of course! We learn about bad horse implementation, what to look for in game horses and find out which game reall...
