This week, Ben, Rich and Andrew are joined by new Islander Laurie as he attempts to smuggle Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker onto the island. Regular listeners might be thinking "why are you telling us his game choice already? You've ruined the surprise! I hate you!". Well, it's definitely not because Laurie's face isn't suitable to put on the cover art (he's actually quite dishy, definitely top 5 o...

This week, Laurie makes his debut and pretty much predicts the NOW ANNOUNCED Nintendo Direct. Young Mike gets hammered on a fine whiskey, and then everyone chats on about Astral Chain, as well as the latest Switch news & upcoming releases. Lovely stuff.

They say "don't sh*t where you eat" but on a desert island there's really not much choice. With that in mind, we've kept things strictly in-house for episode 19, which sees islanders Dan and Rich attempt to get their game, food and drink choices onto the island. This one is also a bit special as it marks the first time that we've met and recorded a podcast in person. Alcohol may have been consumed...

After the Indie World presentation, the lads had some thoughts! Hit the play button to the listen to the thoughts! They're good! Honest!

Well, the guys have had their wicked way with Dan and persuaded him to buy Fire Emblem. However, is this really a GOTY contender? Listen the team debate this, and a number of non-Fire-Emblem things. But, i'm not going to lie, it's pretty much just Ben and Pete waxing lyrical about Fire Emblem. Have we said 'Fire Emblem' enough yet to help our SEO? ... Fire Emblem.

On this episode we welcome Sean Capri, co-host of the fantastic If We Ran Nintendo podcast. Let's see if Ben, Mike and Rich are impressed enough with Sean's game, food and drink choices to permit him safe passage onto our resplendent island. ------------------------------ If you enjoy consuming our content as much as we love making it, you can support us directly by contributing to our Patreon: pa...

On today’s episode, Dan, Mike & Ben are joined by Toby Thornton, co-host of the Nintendo Talk podcast, recording live from his palatial bungalow. He lives in a bungalow, guys. A BUNGALOW. It’s a fun word to say, isn’t it? Bungalow. Stick around to discover Toby’s game, food and drink choices and whether he receives the dubious honour of joining us on the island... ------------------------------ If...
