One Life Left

You know the old adage: Wait ages for one Super Special Guest and then two arrive at once! Well, dear listeners, today we do indeed have TWO SSGs! We're joined in this episode by Matthew and Luke from Gilded Rune Games telling us all about life as a small indie dev company and Dupery, their latest game which is out tomorrow/Thursday 15th October! We also chat about the Gamestop PS markup, the lack...

Welcome to the longest running Celebrity Traitors radio show (podcast edition)! Only joking... or am I?!? This week we have Dan Houser avoiding GTA 6, RAM shortages continue, 8-bit handhelds delayed, OLL listeners battle via the medium of letters, AI game remixes and our intrepid hosts go and meet up with Dominik Diamond! Friday 13th November is still the next date for Maraoke that I'm pushing on...

In this episode, dearest listeners, we have life being too short to grind in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Sony taking payments through their controllers, Rockstar peddle collector's editions without games and the war of football games continues! We also cover the recent Game Anglia Direct 2026 and ponder will GTA 6 change everything?!? MARAOKE IS GETTING A REBOOT!!! Well, OK, Ste says "relaunch"...

This week we have Ste encouraging bad behaviour, Simon having a wee next to someone famous, WD40 seemingly working and then not, crunch time (again), the GTA 6 soundtrack, God of War "not exciting", Nighthawks "not filth" and a grown adult man lets his child wrack up a huge debt on his company credit card. Yep. Oh, it's video game related, though. You can't chuck a stone in here without hitting an...

Welcome to another episode of the podcast edition of One Life Left, the world's longest running radio show about video games (in the English language)! This week Mark Cerny personally congratulates Simon and Ste might be on a list but never mind that - we have an SSG! We're joined by Luke Caspar Pearson, Associate Professor and Co-Director of Cinematic and Videogame Architecture at the Bartlett Sc...

The new season of One Life Left starts here! Don't know who we are?? Well, we're only the world's longest running video game radio show in the English language, that's what! This is the podcast edition of said radio show. Hello! Don't let the fact that we have 618 previous episodes (not including specials) behind us scare you. Jump aboard! The main things to remember are it's the hope that kills y...

...For Summer! It's End of Term but rather than watch films in our own clothes all day while the teachers neck vodkas in the staff room we decided we'd smack one more episode out of the park for YOU! So this week we briefly gloss over the football, despite EA being right again, and discuss yet more physical media axing shenanigans (that GameStop doesn't care about), CoD lobby 'banter', a Mii retur...

... until it isn't - which may be the case on Wednesday evening, after this podcast has been released onto an unsuspecting world, but at the time of me writing this IT is very much in a state of STILL maybe COMING HOME. Obviously I'm talking about football. Football. It's coming home... On that note, welcome once again to the podcast edition of the world's longest running video game radio show, in...

It would've been too obvious to name this week's episode after something Marvel Universe related. So I didn't. And even that might need some explanation, anyway, so HERE! 616, innit?! Aaaaaanyway, hello, welcome to the podcast edition of the longest running English language video game radio show: One Life Left! We don't always discuss the logistics of watching a football match whilst sitting in a...

This week we have heat coping mechanisms, Rockstar ditching discs, Meccha Chameleon being a big thing, the Steam Machine pricing buzz, Xbox having a dig at PlayStation (fight!!), Olivia Rodrigo on Fortnite, vanity projects updates and Mike Rose secrets (? and !) We also have new Maraoke dates - Friday 10th July in London (book your tickets HERE) and the Thursday night at Develop in Brighton which...

In this podcast episode of your favourite, longest running English language, video game radio show we see Ste getting invited into a Moomin's dressing room while Simon gets Charlesbot into hot water at the Houses of Parliament! We also cover the latest Nintendo Direct/Thumb Wrestling, Steam axing physical gift cards and EA making up World Cup winner predictions again (Ste predicts the loser). Mean...

Hello! We've got a Super Special Guest this week! It's James Parker from Ground Shatter and he's here to talk about new game 2 Fights in 2 Tight Spaces! It's not just shadow dropped but it's shadow dropped into early access and he's here to tell us all about it! Meanwhile Simon gets dragged to the Houses of Parliament for beers with Kier, Ste doesn't go to the cricket and we all talk about Summer...

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dear listeners! This week Simon recognised his children for the first time in ages while Ste killed the games industry YET AGAIN! Yet he's still allowed to walk around as a free man! The police do nothing these days, etc etc... We also discuss GTA6 still being 'on course', the Steamdeck price hike, Soccer Kid returning in time for the World Cup and Gera...

The boys are back from Japan and are here to tell you all about it in what is possibly multi-part episodic content! This week they cover buying stuff they didn't even want and/or need, including Virtual Boys and gachas as well as discussing the Nex Playground finally coming to the UK, Virtuos dreaming of other ports, Mixtape not being delisted (but, after only 3 years, LEGO 2K Drive is), Asha Shar...

This week is mainly brought to you by excitement from our intrepid duo over their impending trip to Japan! The boys still make time to talk about video games, though, including (but not limited to) Xbox exclusives being exclusively exclusive, May the Fourth be with the new Steam controller and what happened to the Sega Mega Game? We also talk about video game pricing (courtesy of a listener's lett...

HEALTH WARNING: Do not use these show notes as any kind of official and/or legal record. Or even life guidance. Heck, no. With that in mind, this week we see that Simon can't be improved while Ste went to Wembley but, as always with football, it's the hope that kills you. The intrepid duo also, yet again, carefully say "egg hunt" as is the tradition at this time of year. Video game wise we wax lyr...

Well, good lord... I mean... wow... I wrote two things down for what Ste got up to this week and, dear listener, they're both TRUE: Ste becomes a hacker AND Ste behaves questionably in a gym! The two are indeed one and you will find out all about it in this episode! Our dynamic duo also recount past 'bad boy' school exploits whilst wondering if kids do any work these days and pondering over who to...

This week there's no SSG but Charlesbot has had his meeting with HR and realised it's in his best interests to return to work and read about Nintendo planning a new Switch 2 already, as well as boosting the current one, Minecraft coming to Chessington, Cyberpunk getting a trading card game and Nvidia angering everyone with DLSS 5. Remember when Nvidia was typed out like nVidia? No? Just me? Ok the...

This week Ste talks to a woman at a bus stop and Simon goes out with Bingo Dave. We discover that we arrived very early, Parko has 'people' and Keza MacDonald is The Guardian, apparently! We also tackle the news without Charlesbot who proves that AI is evolving even quicker than previously thought by pulling a Monday sickie! We battle on regardless, however, and still manage to cover a Pokemon spi...

Well well..... RHELL! This week we're joined by Alice from Slugglove talking all things Rhell and the joys of solo dev working as well as joining in on the rest of the show! Along with our trusty newsbot we cover Highguard going bye bye, the PS PC strategy fail, MS patenting a player lifeline system, a Rogue City mix up and Steam launch pressures amongst many other things. We also get threats from...

This episode we're joined by Mike Diver, author of such books as From Coin-Ops to Table-Tops, The Console, Indie Games and Retro Gaming. He's got another book coming out in August all about the history of video games from the Aliens franchise. Funnily enough it's called Aliens: The Video Games: An Unofficial Guide! Together we tackle such subjects as the mini Gameboy music player, Red Octane's ret...

This week we learn all about The Method! No, not Konstantin Stanislavski's acting style, championed by the likes of Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and probably Danny Dyer, but Daan Last's entirely new way of making video games - The Method! As well as that, our Super Special Guest tells us about his new game Bibidi Bibidi and you can check out his websites HERE and HERE! I've also had a special req...

It's the 10 year anniversary of Tony Gowland's first appearance on One Life Left so, to celebrate, our Super Special Guest this week is none other than 'Seasoned Game Dev' Leo Tan!!! He's here to talk about working with Flaming Fowl Studios on new game Konfronto, his game dev process, using community feedback and also his abs! Charlesbot covers Sony's recent State of Play, Jaffe using an 'F' bomb,...

It's the week leading up to Ste's birthday, dear listeners, and everything is amazing, not bang average for a February at all! On this episode we have Epic is Xbox (maybe), Valve have a hardware hiccup, Nintendo Labo gets a new lease of life and game devs get knighted! Meanwhile Simon plays with Thor and writes an open letter to the games industry and Ste gives the world a hot lap - HOT LAP 1982 t...

It's the big '600' but it doesn't matter because the show turns 20 YEARS OLD in April!!! If those huge numbers put you off then this is only episode 14 of our 26th 'season'. There. That's nice. This week we cover the recent Pocket Gamer Connects in London plus a Google project kills rival's shares, a fan-made PS handheld makes folk wonder what might happen if Sony did another, Switch Dispatch cens...
