WTFDYW?!

Send us Fan Mail ThatFkingGuy returns again this week to talk about how much he loves Goodpods and how reviews should be re-evaluated as their value has gone a bit askew over time. 80% should be the new 50%, it leaves little wiggle room. So we moan an have another one of those podcasts that are only interesting to people that make podcasts. How insular. Thanks for listening and hopefully you were...

Send us Fan Mail I'll be straight with you here, we were meant to talk about Soul Reaver on this episode but kept getting distracted. We mention the series a bit, kick lumps out of Embracer for playing with our emotions. I keep trying to offend Mick, we talk about the Barras again. We need to stick this Streamer on a leash and stop him from conversationally wandering off. I enjoyed it, don&ap...

Send us Fan Mail To mark the launch of the Lucid Kickstarter today we have the scholar, gentleman and creative gimpanzee Eric from the Matte Black Studio. Once again we have somebody trying to hustle the listener base into throwing money at them. It's pathetic, I'm nearly phoning Ofcom on my own show. Just as well that Lucid just so happens to look like the Mega Man, Celeste, Metroid cro...

Send us Fan Mail We have a Trio of defects who are slaves to the beat this week: DeadbeatpunK is joined by Modern Escapism's very own rockstars of yore: Stig and Gadget!! They want to talk about this year's sleeper hit Hi-Fi Rush, a rhythm based action game developed by the bright sparks at Tango Gameworks and just appeared out of the blue on Game Pass. Spoiler Free as we could manage, i...

Send us Fan Mail The Summer is over and it's time to get back to work, if work was shouting at people. Which it actually is, both here and on our subject this week. Yes Cousin, we talk FX/Hulu/Disney's culinary based dramatic series The Bear. HANDS!? Why nobody else but dear sweet Philthy: who has probably dreamed about sticking a knife in my arse more than once. That wasn't intende...

Send us Fan Mail The fun you can have with a little toy in your hand. Game Boys are no stranger to the WTFDYW?! Show, but this episode focuses on the 32-bit wonder that was the Game Boy Advance. Joining me this week is Stormageddon who also shares a passion so intense it could warp AA batteries. Also,  it is time for the host's time to retire for a while. Drinking under bridges, fighting with...

Send us Fan Mail Shane makes his return this week to lampoon nearly everybody that has been on the show before. Kinda. It's an aimless episode, I don't think either of us came away knowing what he actually wanted. He doesn't like comic conventions, despite never going to one. Not too pushed on tech showcases and definitely won't be joining me in the Bethesda Woo Guy try-outs. T...

Send us Fan Mail Really have to stop dragging people in last minute, CaptainJSpaulding got roped in again last minute and gets nothing but bad manners for the privilege. We return to Terry Pratchett's Discworld and explore the possibility of future Computer Games around the subject matter. Sort of. We talk an awful amount of bollocks in between it all too. Thanks for listening and hopefully y...

Send us Fan Mail Joe returns after brings Gears of War and Shock to the table with his best topic pick yet: Snuff Box. This BBC3 comedy that was hidden away at silly hours has become the definition of a cult classic and anyone that has seen it will sing its praises. Whether you want to hear them or not. WHISKEY!! Thanks for listening and hopefully you were mildly entertained and/or insulted. Pleas...

Send us Fan Mail Time makes a mockery of us all and Stig wants more of it. He wanted more time but what he got was further mockery. There are so many things to accomplish and so little time. So we ponder a new world where time breaks out of its flat circle and becomes a bit more flexible. Death to Chronos!!

Send us Fan Mail A new Episode and a new voice, Bazza brings 24 to the studio this week. A show that I had missed completely and only knew from multiple parodies and references. We talk over the first series and if you don't want that spoiled for you. You would be better off skipping this one.

Send us Fan Mail Duke Nukem has been out of action for a long time. Too long a time. Sadly Duke is remembered as more of a meme than the hero of an action packed series. Dated attitudes and quips from a bygone era. What if we could remedy that, could Duke be rebooted for a modern audience? Well NorthmanRob and his plus one are certainly going to try. Hail to the King, Baby!! Find more of our guest...

Send us Fan Mail We go back to a simpler time this week, when we could karate kick and chop our way to the affections of the Flower Girl of our dreams. Lyle returns after failing to magic up a new Dragon Quest Monsters game and reminds of what made PaRappa the Rapper such a wonderful title.

Send us Fan Mail DeadbeatpunK is feeling a bit worn out this week after recording the bumper episode previously. Thankfully Mark "Planty" Plant is here to make sure he doesn't fall on his arse for thirty minutes. What are they talking about this week? There is too much TV and not enough free time to watch it all. First world problems? You Bet!! Frame A Game - Zelda: ToTK Giveaway Tw...

Send us Fan Mail It may have taken a hundred episodes but we finally have the correct answer for WTFDYW?! We introduce David Turner(s) from TCGS to the Studio and shows up our host as the hopeless, churlish amateur that they truly are. They say money can’t buy happiness, but with enough coin you can stay out of crippling debt which may help evade deep sorrow; afford the finest lodgings and materia...

Send us Fan Mail A week of mourning as we place coins over the peepers of E3, the Nerd Christmas, Geek Kwanzaa or Loserpalooza as I have taken to calling it. A Gaming convention that happened once a year and blew our socks off with reveals, news and some of the most awkward displays of human interaction you could ever make memes out of. Robschach joins me for this half hour of sorrow. I blame Geof...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes I worry about being a poor advert for the lovely little Island I live on. To remedy this I am joined by the one and only Gerard Eady, a prime example of the fine specimen Ireland can truly produce. He wants to talk about Atomic Heart and why people shouldn't sleep on this title. Created by the Russian Team Mundfish, there is a lot of stigmata around the game and und...

Send us Fan Mail The return of the actual host this week and thank the maker for their return as we need a steady hand to keep this week's guest in line. The subject was picked by the luck of the roll. The Venture Brothers, which is the finest show ever to sprout out of Adult Swim.  Philthy's Elden Ring Stings Socials E-mail - philthyring@gmail.com Philthy's Twitter - https://twitte...

Send us Fan Mail This week I am joined by James from the How To Game Differently Channel and he wants to talk about Transformers. No, not those ones. The Animal Ones. Beast Wars. Where they battle each other for leadership, talk about honour and . . . fall in love? Thanks for listening and hopefully you were mildly entertained and/or insulted. Please look up the socials to find more information on...

Send us Fan Mail A controller is far more than a piece of plastic, it's a conduit between the player and their game. An instrument that can be used to create joyous situations depending on the skills of the hand it finds itself nestled into.  Yes, those alien collection of buttons, sticks and bumpers are keys to a kingdom most people fear to enter and they're not all equal. Grumpy Gamer...

Send us Fan Mail Things are too long, which is a problem Ciaran finds himself dealing with constantly in the trouser department. Other things that run far too long for comfort: Movies, Albums, TV Shows and Computer Games. When will they realise that people only have a finite amount of time? This is why they demand satisfaction immediately. Is it a short attention span or an underactive patience mu...

Send us Fan Mail The long fabled sequel to indie darling Hollow Knight is the focus of this week's Spoiler Heavy episode. We have had peeks at this title in the past, but our guest this week wants it NOW!! Christopher from The Weird Thing About That Podcast leads the charge to inspire Team Cherry into revealing a release date or just shadow-dropping it into our lives. We go over why Hollow Kn...

Send us Fan Mail Ian from Cult Connections has another go on the thirty minute soapbox: people that pay for fake symbols of authority on social platforms. Blue Tick Pricks. A recent trend and desperate cash grab by everyone's favourite Blood Emerald Funded, Jelly Mould of a human. Why this practice actually devalues the platform, takes the varnish from being verified and is a cry for help in...

Send us Fan Mail After all that talk about classic RPG Goodness in last week's episode, NorthmanRob returns to the fold to talk about Breath of Fire another classic series that hasn't been getting the love it deserves of late. Capcom's Fantasy Epic is a series that have touched many a fan of the genre and as it's becoming more difficult to locate physical media: overdue a remas...
