Answer: its very exciting.    Like any typical award show, the categories are made up and the points don't matter. With that in mind we don't have a clear winner or loser, or even nominations.

We have a podcast, and we think its awesome.    Spyro is back, in a fantastic remaster, and Simone has gone all hands on with it! Does he fly the same? Is he the same colour? Whats the airspeed of an unlaiden swallow? She knows the answers to all these and more!  Lee tries his hand at Ducati 90th Anniversary and finds two wheels less impressive than four, while Kyle tries to stream The Solus Proje...

With the internet having a meltdown, and everyone else suffering from the fallout, we have arrived to bring some much needed perspective into your lives. Nothing is as bad as it seems, not even Lee's face.   Simone is away, so what better time to rope Paul on and have him tell us about Fallout 76.

Kyle wonders how Sea of Thieves remains so vague with their quest giving, but still gets so excited about Gears of War 4.    For...

Better late than never, right?    This is out Shocktober But For Realsies episode. Or at least it would have been, if the game devs decided to come out and play. In stead, its a pretty normal week with only two 'scary' games launching, and most Halloween themed things taking place in games...    Joined by our spare warm corpse, Jeremy (due to Lee being slack), Simone is back at Red Dead Redemption...

Simone's inner cowboy has come out, and his name - John Marston.    Thats right - Read Dead Redemption 2 has come out, so we're celebrating the best way working gamers do - by playing through our backlog. It just happens that Red Dead Redemption is the one Simone is enjoying at the moment!    And since we're so close to Halloween, we have a very normal Shocktober Episode for you here. To keep with...

Simone is being slack. So lets talk to Jeremy!  And what should we talk about? I am glad you asked.    Forza Horizon 4!    Its not like any other games exist right about now...  We dive into some cool Forza stats, and spend way to long going on about the drifitng and the sound of crashing into the walls. Its great!   And then as per usual, its new games, some gaming news - like For Honor getting a...

In case you haven't heard, Warface is coming to Xbox One... After coming to Xbox 360 in 2013.

Are you ready for some news? Because thats all we're doing in this one!  Oh, and Lee has played a little indie game, not sure you'll ever hear of it - Call of Duty: Black Ops 4!    Final Fantasy's are coming to Xbox, and we couldn't be happier! If you ask us, its about time. We can't wait to dive into 7, 9 and 10 all over again. Sorry 8, but you're a bit late to this party. PUBG was broken, and th...

Do dinosaurs eat brussel sprouts? We try to find out!   Simone is having a hard time with driving a horse and shooting the bad guys in Red Dead Redemption. And dating more pigeons.
