In a post E3 world, worthwhile news is hard to come by. Thank $deity that the Switch Lite was announced this week then, eh? On this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Zo converse for your pleasure about Nintendo's new console, some other tidbits of news, and actually sort of do some actual video game journalism with reports on both Amazon and Antstream.

Seems that E3 thing came round again, so we thought we'd better tell you our picks of the games shown there. Join deKay, Niaz, Kendrick and Choobs as they completely ignore half the titles on display this year, and get excited about games we may never hear about ever again. It is, after all, E3.

This episode, deKay, Zo, Kendrick and Toby chat about recent Sony announcements like their new film division and getting into bed with Microsoft, the Ouya (who?!) RIP, the next batch of announced Mega Drive Mini games, Steam Chat on iOS, the return of Judgment to stores in Japan, everyone's favourite Gearbox "personality", and some games.

Oh isn't it a lovely time for another episode of your favourite video game podcast? Failing that, why not try listening to this one instead? It's alright. In this episode, deKay, Kendrick, Zo and Toby talk about more news than they anticipated, including the Mega Drive Mini, Konami's new game collections, the Valve Index, the Xbone SAD, the Sony Firestation 5, and a big ole pile of games.

In this episode, deKay, Toby, Zo and Kendrick discuss the Physics Defying Google Stadia, the Ad Stripping Apple Arcade, the Saga Ending ZX Vega+, the Coke Taking Pierre Taki, the Face Sitting Switch VR, the Good Eatin' Overwatch Cookbook, and the Click Baiting Bum Simulator. Those important things, and some games too.

In Episode 20, deKay, Luffer, Tim and Toby talk about the recent Nintendo Direct, the wonderful Fortnite Festival, Discord, the Vita and the Wii Shop both coming to an end, ad-free games that aren't, and all of these games at various lengths and with various thoughts because well, that's the bloody point of the podcast.

It's a brand new year which means we've changed nothing. We do, however, tell our listener all about our personal Game of the Year 2018 picks. It was harder than we expected but not for the reasons you might suspect. Before that, though, deKay Souljas on, Zo recounts the lowest key news from the last month, Toby explains about raytracing, and Kendrick talks about yet another soon-to-be-released ti...

As a wise man once sang, it's Christmas! Nearly! So with the spirit of the season at the forefront of our minds, we decided to play a low-impact after-dinner party game. You decide whether this was the worst decision of 2018 or not.

This time round, Toby once more is the only one interested in VR, Kendrick is the only one interested in obscure Japanese RPGs, deKay is the only one playing a game for children, and Zo is the only one playing an actual properly new modern game. It's a wonder we have anything common, frankly.

In this episode, Choobs does one of the Big Swears and deKay couldn't find it in the edit so if you have young ears in the room we apologise. Choobs is also, in his own words, a "pansy foo-foo", Kendrick is playing the inferior version of a game because reasons, Zo is glad winter is over and deKay is fed up with game bugs now.

A special episode recorded at EGX 2018. deKay, Zo, Luffer, Toby, Jaimie and Jon sit around a microphone in what turned out not to be the quietest part of the Birmingham NEC to chat about All The Games at EGX.

Just in time to finish recording immediately before the Nintendo Direct so we couldn't cover it, here's Episode 14. Like the secret of comedy, it's all about timing. Note: there may be no comedy. In this episode, deKay finds some sailors, Choobs is waiting for a leopard, Luffer is suffering from animal magnetism, and Kendrick talks a lot about some game nobody else has heard of or cares about.

This month's Adventures In Internet Wonkiness fun created some interesting conversation but we're 100% sure you won't notice any of the problems. In this episode, Kendrick reveals an alarming secret, deKay reveals an alarming playtime, Luffer has an alarming Switch coincidence, and Toby is drinking and outs his alarming horse vein fetish.

E3 was a long, long time ago and we've all forgotten about what was announced at it and nobody cares any more anyway. So about time we did another podcast, yes? In this episode, deKay plays a game which isn't what he expected, Luffer plays no games (as expected), Zo has bought all the games expecting them all to be played, and Choobs unexpectedly has a banjo.

In a change to our normal podcast format, deKay, Zo, Kendrick and Tim comment on every single game shown at the main E3 conferences. All of them. Which is why this episode is so damn long.

In this historically accurate episode, deKay plays a game aimed at eight year olds, Choobs plays a number of seemingly identical games, Luffer plays virtually no games at all, and Zo plays a God of War game which both isn't God of War but is God of War. Confused? We were never confused.

In this episode, deKay uses his imagination and fights a bear, Zo has played all of the games, some of which while stripped to the waist, Kendrick instructs everyone to say "David Cage" in an East London accent, and Neil rams some angry Australians with silly names off the road. Pretty standard stuff, really.

In this episode, deKay has a lost weekend, Tim is obsessed with the worst Bullfrog game ever, Luffer is the Goddamn Batman, and Choobs has a yacht. Because of course he has. Also: Cake Winslet.

This episode, deKay bores everyone about Yokai, Kendrick literally breaks, Zo fails to explain why Burnout 3 is the best Burnout (probably because it isn't), and Luffer gets very tired standing up.

This episode, deKay is baffled that others don't share his Hyrule Warriors love, Kendrick mourns what could have been in TxK, and Zo can't make up his mind about, well, anything he's played really.

This episode, deKay absolutely hasn't been drinking, Kendrick ruins Christmas for everyone, Toby is all about the legs, and Lorfarius just wants pirates and sailors in his stocking. ALSO FEATURING: The best video connectivity pun ever crafted.

In this episode, Zo pokes some animals, Choobs explores space, Tim is rubbish at all versions of Rocket League, and deKay stacks boxes.

In this episode, deKay is disappointed (again) with Mario, Luffer is a VR Trooper, Toby is breaking the law (breaking the law), and Kendrick plays a game in a game and everyone's heads explode.

In this episode, Luffer boasts he can drive round a corner, deKay is disappointed he can't murder tramps with a pickaxe, Toby complains about FOV sliders, and Zo expresses his disappointment with Destiny 2.

In this episode, Zo learns about the error of his ways, Kendrick learns about Parma Violets, and deKay learns the true meaning of pop shields. Oh, and there's stuff about games too. And a lot of EGX chat.
