Philthy's Ring Stings

Philthy has continued to make progress through Lies of P and upgraded his choice of carbonated urine this week. We get a bit of culture as Philthy leads dear Pinocchio through the entertainment district beating up a White Woman and putting an end to some pesky babies. He did give somebody an apple though. So he's not all bad? Punk has started Shadow of the Erdtree and by the time this is published...

We return this week and it consists of more Harp which sterotypically leads to violence again religous figures. Philthy has actually played a game with the volume up and has discovered that the music can be simply magical and not at all AI generated. It's only taken three series, but it feels like he may actually be learning a thing or two. Thanks for listening and stay tuned for more Ring Stings!...

After a long hibernation Philthy has returned and still hasn't finished Baldur's Gate 3. Instead he is tackling the excellent souls like 'Lies of P' in the latest series of Ring Stings: Lies of Philthy! He has no Katana, no Mimic Tear and no clue what is going on. The game may change but not the player. Thanks for listening and stay tuned for more Ring Stings!! Be advised:  strong language an...

Continuing his trend of starting games he has no clue about but still blown away by the Metacritic score; Philthy has decided to jump on to the GotY champion Baldur's Gate 3. He has no background with Larian's efforts than came before this, a vague idea of what D&D is and a fairly weak grasp on videogames in general. Strap in and prepare for some Balduian RIng Stings!! Be advised:  strong...

He has only gone and done it. Philthy has finished Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Yakuza 7 or Like A Dragon: Like A Dragon: Like A Dragon has been conquered. We wrap up in this episdoe and take a trip down memory lane. A stunted stroll through what he hasn't done, more than what he has done. Thanks for listening and stay tuned for more Ring Stings!! Be advised:  strong language and spoilers are conta...

Philthy has finally buckled down and made some progress. Too much progress it could be argued. We finally have another round of RIng Stings to share with you after a shockingly dry summer for releases. I can only apologise for Christopher, he has been in Starfield since early access started and I don't think he was fully aware of his surroundings. He IS a Space Cowboy. Be advised:  strong lan...

Philthy hasn't been playing enough Like a Dragon to produce an episode because he's a terrible human and an even worse friend. Punk is being homophobic in this episode and deserves to fall off a bonfire again. The lads chat absolute nonsense for a while like one of those terrible "Banter Casts" that pollute your Spotify recommended lists. We hope you enjoy and this helps keep you entertained until...

The boys are still recovering from their public holiday and tensions are very high. Philthy is struggling against construction equipment, wildlife and may possibly need to book a trip to the opticians.

Hold on, Philthy has played enough Yakuza: Like a Dragon to make a weekly episode?! Yes indeed, dear listeners, we have finally started getting to the meat of this game. Turns out, the meat is tasty, it also gives you warm fuzzy feelings!! We punch widowers, build bookshelves and resist the urge to crack open cans during this Irish heatwave.

This week, Philthy has woken up in the virtual bins, seeks employment and ends up in a position of power brandishing a bin. Poetic juxtaposition from beginning to end. Two incredibly tired Punks in this recording, which leads them to be a bit more aimless than usual. Be advised:  strong language and spoilers are contained in this show. We recommend tuning in from the first episode, Elderflowe...
