One Life Left

Well, dear listeners, did you invest in Gamestop? Are you listening to us from your new yacht in the Bahamas? Did anyone really understand what the heck was going on?! Will you buy all the Zelda games that will inevitably get re-released on Zelda's upcoming 35th anniversary?? We tackle all this and more in this week's, non-SSG, episode! We also mention our friendly Discord server - a link to that...

The land was covered with snow when this was recorded but the show must go on! We're in lockdown anyway so it's not like we've got anywhere to go... Settle down in front of the fire for another weekly dose of video game related news and chat. No SSG this week but we've loads to get through. The first Maraoke of the year is this coming Friday, 29th January, at 8pm GMT on Twitch: https://www.twitch....

No, that was Bruce Wayne! Remember the song? No? I'm old... and kids are taking over the world already! Maybe it's for the best. We had a good run. Maybe. Anyway, we're back with more video game news and chat. No SSG again this week but we're working on it. Meanwhile, get your letters/emails in! Send them to team@onelifeleft.com to be read out and discussed on a future episode! Stay safe and well,...

Happy New Year, dear listeners! Welcome to 2021 where we won't let a lockdown keep us... down... No SSG today but there's plenty to talk about, including learning valuable tricks to pull on teacher during remote learning sessions. It's not just two old men talking about Roblox, honest! Don't forget to send us your letters/emails. Let us know what you got for Xmas. Tell us your hopes and dreams for...

It's Wednesday again! What? Already?! Time seems to be zooming by, dear listener. It's as if the universe itself wants to be rid of 2020! However, according to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion and the perception of its flow doesn't correspond to physical reality! Before the Big Bang there was no time! Or space, for that matter, but if there had been would that have meant th...

Hello! As I type this, the entire world is waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 to land in their eager hands after what seems like an eternity. Nothing else matters. Are you looking forward to it, listener? If you live in New Zealand you might even be playing it right now... Exciting! Meanwhile, this week we have an SSG! None other than UKIE's Dr Jo Twist! Also don't forget we have the OLL/Maraoke Xmas part...

Another jam packed show for you, chock full of video game related shenanigans! Plus we find out how Ste's True Confessions talk at Nordic Game 2020 went - did he save your soul, listener? Not that you can tell us, that'd blow the anonymity! Meanwhile, it's December already! Meaning it won't be long before Father Christmas pays us all a visit, as long as we've been good... and this year we might al...

Hello! No SSG again this week but there's news, letters, reviews and general video game related banter galore! Meanwhile, Ste offers to Save Your Soul by offering to hear your confessions! Links for more info are below... Plus, as mentioned in the show, here's Phil the (Under)Caretaker's full review of the Xbox Series X: --- Here's my cutting edge review of the Xbox Series X, offering in depth and...

Well, after a good run of SSGs, this week sees us return to a cozy (virtual) fireside chat between Ste and Simon, but now we're officially in the "Next Gen" there's news aplenty to get through! Meanwhile, the next date for online Maraoke has been set for December 18th. This will also double up as the (virtual) OLL Xmas Party, maybe even with a (virtual) Secret Santa! Link below, more info to come!...

Well, it appears none of us ended up becoming the next President of the USA but, for the third week running, we have a Super-Special Guest: James Parker from Ground Shatter Games! Three SSGs on the run! Is this the new normal?? Meanwhile, the next generation of gaming has begun! Yesterday! Did you get a new Xbox this week, dear listeners?? Phil the (Under)Caretaker did and he's very happy with it...

Well, dear listeners, who would have thought it? For the second week on the trot we have a Super-Special Guest on the show!! Zach Weddington joins us to talk about his new multi-part documentary, Arcade Dreams, about the 100 year history of arcades and arcade games - links below! In other news, we prepare to enter another "lockdown" here in England whilst over on the other side of the pond, nobody...

It's been a long, long, long, long time - possibly even a record breaking amount of time - since we had anyone else on the show with us but here we are, finally, with a Super-Special Guest! This week we are joined by Brynley Gibson from Systemic Reaction! 'Nuff said! We also managed to find some newsworthy news despite it being yet another quiet week, likely due to some new consoles being released...

Is this a World Record number of shows with no Ann or SSG? We're not sure but it probably is. Let's run with that. We battle on in the face of adversity and impending console launches to bring you yet another episode of the Longest Running Video Games Radio Show / Podcast in the World! It's good to talk and we love hearing from you - it gives us content for the show, as well! So get your letters i...

We're still stuck in our homes, missing the studio and "normal" life in general as the country stands on the edge of a precipice of yet more lockdowns! Still no Ann or SSG this week but we hit the hot topics of the day plus "deep dive" into Genshin Impact and gacha mechanics. Plus all the regular features you know and love! Please keep your letters coming in - team@onelifeleft.com Remember we curr...

Welcome to One Life Left, a radio show about video games! There's still no Ann or SSG this week but we do start the show talking about video games this week, and there's live(ish) professional games commentary action on a few rounds of Super Mario Brothers 35 on the Switch!  Also remember we love getting letters so please zap an email to team@onelifeleft.com and you might hear your words read out...

Hullo! Still no Ann or SSG but we battle on regardless, two stalwarts of the gaming industry vs the post-covid world! Here is episode 3 of the "Lockdown Season", or episode 24 of season 20, or episode 409 in total (not including Lost Episodes etc...) - a subject that could be debated by future historians for years upon unearthing an archive of OLL episodes on a dusty old hard drive found down behi...

This week we discover the top 3 items for panic buying during lockdown were, in fact, toilet paper, hand sanitizer and Ring Fit Adventure! Who would've thought?! We also drag memories of The Generation Game back from the depths, consider buying the PS5 Tape Deck Edition and discover Ste's one and only video game purchase from Morrisons! It will astound you! Cheerio! Team OLL x Reviews: http://para...

After the longest break in OLL history, the team are back! Well, two of us are - Get well soon, Ann! Recorded from the comfort of our own homes, amongst other things we ponder why Eastenders tried to ignore covid, how good a deal the new Xbox is and how much money we'll spend on Nintendo with the upcoming release of "Super Mario 3D - (Almost) All (of the) Stars"! Not forgetting Simon's magic lapto...

Who doesn’t watch the Watchmen? It’s one of the most iconic questions of all time, and we finally answer it in this episode. Other questions that we asked are: - Did Ste get any disapproving looks over the weekend? - What is Simon not going to do in San Francisco? - How many consoles do the RNIB own? - What is Simon’s latest purchase? - What are the ingredients of pasta? - Did Ann break her Switch...

No Super-Special Guest this week, but we did have Simon ‘Two Mics' Byron in the studio which we weren't expecting, and neither was he. But why was he in the studio, and did it have anything to do with Ann's big news story? We planned an OLL Road Trip/Roadshow, but I wasn't invited so I'm not really that bothered about it. In fact I was accused of being the OLL Super-Spreader, which I could be offe...

The mystery of the missing stamps is still ongoing. Or, for the returning Ann, it starts today. Given the recent announcement of a price rise this means that the absent package will be worth 8.5 percent more at the end of the month than it did when they were first sent. If we don't find them by the end of the year they will be likely worth millions. We tried to work out if Switches were stereotype...

What do you do for videogame news when your HR director/first choice newsreader is on approved holiday? Normally we would go to our second choice local newsreader, but he was watching 1917 for his 40th birthday and couldn't really be bothered to write anything (see also: all Local News features for the past two seasons). This meant Ste and Simon had to resort to crowdsurfing the news instead. Of c...

Sorry for the late upload this week, real life got in the way for the Caretaker. In theory next week should be ok, but he also thought that this week was going to be fine so we'll see how that forecast goes. In terms of this week's episode we didn't have a Super-Special Guest, but we did have a Super-Special Ann. We spoke about Ste and Simon creating content, we worked out what our individual Beat...

After a break last week due to illness, work, and work illness two of the team returned to the studio to open double post, say testicle on air and work out how many countries there are. And by countries we might mean a sovereign state that's a member of the UN in its own right. Or maybe we don't. At least we had Jennifer Schneidereit from Nyamyam Games in the studio as a Super-Special Guest. She s...

It's our 400th episode! To celebrate this non-provable fact we managed to successfully not answer any questions that our listeners sent in, launched the RIO scheme, and invented a new stamp. More importantly, we had Deborah Mensah-Bonsu from Space Ape Games on as a Super-Special Guest. She was on to advertise the already sold-out Games For Good event, which is about how games can actually be for g...
