WTFDYW?!

Send us Fan Mail Just when I pretended to care about Football for half an hour, Pete decided to bring Dream Theatre to the studio. A Band and Genre I have zero experience with. He tries to win me over to the side of Prog Metal and you'll just have to tune in to find out how successful he was. Thanks for listening and hopefully you were mildly entertained and/or insulted. Please look up the so...

Send us Fan Mail This week I am delighted to report I am joined by two members from the Grumpy Gamers Podcast . Ben and Kirk join me to talk about the stigma around one of our favourite hobbies. Grave Robbing . . . No, that's a different week. There are people that are ashamed to admit that they spend their free time with a controller in hand. Why is that? He talk personal experiences with pe...

Send us Fan Mail Top O' The Morning, Me Laddies. I have the pleasure of ScrufflesBear this week as we talk about Beautiful Irish Streams. Well, the Irish Streams that we have at the moment; that we want to make beautiful. I don't actually know what we were on about this week, but I tried to remain enthusiastic. Because you should always support your Celtic Kin no matter what mad auld bol...

Send us Fan Mail Nintendo make a lot of amazing games, it's pretty much the main thing they're renowned for. They also have a nasty habit of not releasing games at the same time. We take a glance over some of the dormant franchises that have been gathering dust in the Nintendo Archives. Helping me unearth so of these forgotten gems are trusted WTFDYW?! Champions Tyg and Degoose making a...

Send us Fan Mail So after failing to bring it home on his last episode, Angry_Kurt makes his return to bore my hole off talking about one of my most despised subjects . . . Football. At least in Videogame form, which doesn't really rank much higher. Always a delight to have Kurt on the show and he's always a good sport no matter how much of a horrible a host I try to be. Thanks for liste...

Send us Fan Mail Ms Kiley Wilde has joined me this week and decided to jump up on the WTFDYW?! soap box and shout about breasts. Whatever the lady wants, the lady gets. We explore representation in games this week, how good intentions can lead to exclusion towards certain people simply due to their physique, We've come a long way since booth babes, softcore adverts and damsels in distress; bu...

Send us Fan Mail Creme Egg Suppository Enthusiast, Luke Dolsk returns this week to talk cutscenes. After his glorious Diddy Kong Racing episode, Luke ruins any chance of a legacy he once had. He wants to eradicate the art of the cutscene. He finds they get in the way of his button mashing and dopamine hit. Dear listener, I hope you don't belong in the same camp as this Neanderthal. All the so...

Send us Fan Mail The wonderful Robschach returns to for another half hour of misery this week as we work out the mechanics of Talking to Animals. That's right, we're sick to the back teeth of talking to smelly humans and would rather converse with the creatures. No more roundabout conversations about television, weather or politics. More talk about why they lick where and who they would...

Send us Fan Mail I'm afraid you have a still recovering host on this one. Rather than miss a week, the lovely Philthy returned to walk me through Doctor Who. The long running BBC series that I have tried and failed to get into several times over the years. Not that my indifference prevents Philthy from waxing poetically about the Franchise. Thankfully. A valiant effort on his part. A piss poo...

Send us Fan Mail Gadget steps into the studio to demand Hardness; and what the Audio Guru wants, he gets. There are many schools of thought on the difficulty found in videogames. When you cater towards a multitude of tastes; it's an impossible task to satisfy the globe. There does seem to be a trend in Indie games catering to those that desire a challenge. Where their AAA counterparts shy awa...

Send us Fan Mail Your least favourite trio return for the first episode of 2022 and they bring something you probably like even less. Harvest Moon this week, one of the truly most addictive titles on the Game Boy. It's a long running series but we spent most of our time with this series on handheld consoles. We explore a lot of titles in the series and where we feel it was strong and where it...

Send us Fan Mail Some people say he isn't real, that he only exists in the hearts of children, that he's a warped myth or disgusting advertising mascot. But we know the truth, Lyle Carr exists and we have audio proof. The Funky Senpai has made an amazing appearance to demand something that already exists, but don't his disregard for this show's simple premise dissuade you from...

Send us Fan Mail So we have Complete Games Part Two: Botched Launch Jobs. McMorrow returns to complain about the state of games these days and continues to belittle most of the people in the Game Dev Industry. We look back at some of the most broken launches in recent and distant memory. Thought a nice gentle one before Christmas would put everyone at ease. Honestly it turns into a moaning session...

Send us Fan Mail Content Warning: For the First and possibly only time, we have a content warning. This Podcast covers some pretty disgusting subject matter in a very childish manner. Shane returns after talking about The Simpson's decline back in Episode 2. This time he talks Shock Sites. In the internet's younger days, there was a certain faction of people that tried to trick other peo...

Send us Fan Mail We have even more Modern Escapism alumni this week as Stig returns to talk about Reboots. We've all experienced them, the good, the bad, the fucking atrocious. Every week there seems to be another announcement for a return to a dormant franchise. A new look at a retro classic. A desperate cash grab wherever possible. Stig walks us through the fields of the remake, the reboot...

Send us Fan Mail NorthmanRob still has a sore anus from pre-ordering Fallout 76 and the best balm known to humankind? Complaining with a sociopathic Northern Irish Prick of course. Yes, we talk about Bethesda's attempt to bring Fallout to the Online market, with microtransactions, premium subscriptions and no Canvas Bags. So what would we like to see in the future entries of Fallout? Tune in...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the first ever live recorded episode of WTFDYW?! Yes, I know, the audio is different. There are noises from the drinking and somebody kept rustling their page of notes like a prick. But I had fun recording this, so I don't really care how you feel about it. Malcolm in the Middle gets covered this week, a sitcom that seems to be fondly remembered but lost to time a...

Send us Fan Mail With Battlefield 2042 releasing in a few days, my voluptuous Guest this week peels back the foreskin of memory back to reveal the shiny helmet of nostalgia. Biggie brings Bad Company to the table and why this series is sorely missed and way overdue a return. We trade offline and online experiences and tales of heroic deeds and traitorous exploits. Will Biggie get What The Fuck He...

Send us Fan Mail Mark returns once again to tackle a pretty serious issue we have with Scary Movies. The main problem being they aren't Scary any more . . . which just makes them movies. You can see the problem here; I'm sure. We talk misspent youth, dodgy ratings and Professor K filled out half the episode with some more glorious feedback. (That did not include Jigglypuff.) Find Mark on...

Send us Fan Mail After failing to acquire a Dino Crisis successor for the ever amiable Jon Cheetham; he has returned this time to try rubbing the rusty Irish lamp in hopes for DishonoUred 3!! Jon always brings a genuine passion that I admire; we discuss Arkane's Dishnoured franchise and what makes it so magic. (Not Whale Oil.) He may have already covered the games through his writing on Dunwa...

Send us Fan Mail Northman Rob returns and has a bee under his bonnet. A certain trope that gets overused in media and he has simply had enough. So we eventually rounded on the The Spirit Bomb of Love to basically explain what he doesn't care for and what he would like to see instead. It's a vague one, but What The Fuck The Bobby Wants, then What The Fuck Bobby Gets!! Buzzsprout and all t...

Send us Fan Mail If ever there was an example of what this show was about: Half Life 3 must be one of the pillars. A game sequel that has surpassed the meme they tried to contain it in. Half Life and its sequels were truly shining examples of what games could accomplish and what we want; is more of that. My trusted companion Tyg joins me as we take a crowbar each and smash the brain crabs in our p...

Send us Fan Mail This Week I'm graced with the presence of Mark Plant who has fulfilled his year's worth of charity work by blessing this show with his presence. After an initial mix-up with which member of the 100 Things We Learned From Film Podcast member was joining the recording; we have an excellent discussion about a lost art form. Movie Tie-Ins in the form of videogames. Where did...

Send us Fan Mail Seeing as tomorrow will be the 22nd Anniversary of Pokémon Red and Blue landing in the UK; Cattwood, XbenblasterX and I take a trip down memory lane to relive our glory days as Trainers. I don't know why but, this quickly became one of the more vulgar episodes of the show. I guess they were right, these games really did corrupt the youth. An extended 45 minute episode this we...

Send us Fan Mail Deadbeat and Punk join me this week as we relive the classic RPG from Sega: Skies of Arcadia!!! Sky Pirates, Monsters and Exploration, this title has it all. We demand this game gets brought forward, rather than forgotten to the past. I also need to start going out more. Another week of some dubious company. So tune in, sail the skies and scream "CUTLASS FURY!" as loud a...
