As it is the last month of the year, it’s time to look back at all the games that were released this year. 2023 has been such an incredible year for releases that many of our favourites were games that we actually forgot were release this year! Truly, we have been drowning in content. What were your hits for the…
Apologies that we’ve been absent from uploading these videos. Various technical issues prevented us from doing a video version of the podcast, but we’re back now! In our final podcast for 2023, we look at all the games releasing in December. Admittedly this is a slower month than most for…
Got a Nintendo Switch? At some stage you’ve probably taken it out…
We’ve all had this experience at one stage or another: We’ve been…
I’ve struggled with the Mario Sports titles in recent years. I’ve enjoyed them enough, but as someone who loved the earlier games because they were arcade sports games with Mario added, the increasing focus on powerups and specials has made these games a little too gimmicky for their own good.…

We had a special guest on the podcast this month – Ryan Brown from Super Rare Games! Ryan has been an absolute champion for the indie space over the years, and we pick his brain about his innovative “Mixtape” project. If you’re ever in the mood to discover games that…

NOTE: This month our usual video editor wasn’t available, so instead you can just enjoy footage from a bunch of games I’ve been playing recently. These aren’t June releases – apologies for any confusion, but things will be back to normal next month. We’re doing something a little bit different…

On the ongoing recommendation of one of the regulars on the DDNet stream, I am going to play a bit of ANNO tonight. All I know is that it is a yuri-themed action-adventure game with RPG elements and a cyberpunk vibe. Honestly, I’m surprised it has taken me this long…

We recorded this podcast just before Square Enix announced it was selling Tomb Raider and other critical properties in order to finance (among other things) blockchain and NFT projects. This makes this podcast chat that we have about how NFTs are absolutely horrible for this industry, be that gamer or…

Trek To Yomi is the latest game from Devolver Digital, the developer behind the Shadow Warrior series, and the indie auteur behind The Eternal Castle. It is a darkly majestic game and one of the most distinctive artistic visions we’ve seen this year. In this video, I chat about why…

I’m mostly just doing this video to test a new sound recording system that I’m testing – the Maonocaster E2 A. But I also have a point to make! Nintendo has opened the floodgates for fanservicey games, and while fan service is great, the Steam-like stream of absolutely terrible stuff…

We’re doing something a little bit different with the podcasts than we have in the past when uploading podcasts to YouTube. Rather than upload a ~2 hour video and make you watch it in all one go, we’re breaking things up a bit more so you can more easily watch…
