The Permadeath Podcast

After our brief hiatus, we return with an episode officially* described as "Better than the Westminster Dog Show" (*As voted in a poll of 1 Bill Conway) to discuss the gaming year that was 2018, covering our hopes and dreams of the future as well as the past. Ebbie beat her way through No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again this month, whilst Bill finally adopts the simple life of Stardew Valley to...

It's that time of month where we gather round the proverbial campfire of Discord to talk about what we've played. Bill's dived back into WoW with Battle for Azeroth, whilst Ebbie and Kinross return to ESO after many years. On top of which, we talk Octopath, Shenmue, Dead Cells, Tropical Freeze, The Walking Dead, Bayonetta, Doom, and so many more I can't even remember them.

It's time to talk about all the things from E3 this year, with a small spattering of games we played.

We're down a Bill this month, but that doesn't stop Kinross from channeling his spirit, nor Ebbie's commitment to preaching the joy that is Yakuza. We also round up our E3 predictions and dreams for this year as it quickly approaches. Ebbie founds a kingdom in Ni No Kuni 2 and Kinross brings an end to the Shadow of the Colossus trilogy with his own thoughts on one of gaming's most lauded experienc...

Fetch your airhorns ladies and gentlemen, we've hit the big 4-0! To celebrate we do nothing particularly special, but do bring you thoughts on some great (and not so great) games. Bill's been chasing colossi through the forests of Hope County, Ebbie's been dating Skeleton font men in a spoopy maze, and Kinross has recently returned from a month on the high seas collecting booty and...other booty?...

Long time listeners might recognise our "guest" this episode as the return of Yokurama, bringing with him talk of early access, VR dreams and yet more Switch love. Bill regales us with tales of Monster Hunter and Dynasty Warriors, Kinross played as a college drop-out in Night in the Woods, Ebbie faced down the colossal masterpiece that is Shadow of the Colossus, and we all took a stab at playing K...

Welcome to the new year! We did something a little special in the form of a live stream for this episode, so if we refer to the chat or video things too much, apologies. This month we talk about each other's GOTY lists, and 2017 as a whole in the world of gaming, including our disappointments as well as goals for the future. And of course the few things we managed to squeeze into the holiday seaso...

Reunited at last, our intrepid gamers discuss the happenings of the past month, including Bill's foray into Switch-hood, the magic that is Mario Odyssey, the truly epic scale of Skyrim VR, and the absolute hellscape that is the wake of EA's Battlefront 2 debacle.
