0451 - A Gaming Podcast

The debut. Giles waxes lyrical about Pillars of Eternity and Simon admits his Factorio addiction as the show takes a lengthy, unexpected turn towards PC gaming. Bethesda, Onimusha, Cyberpunk, and Nintendo's indie catalogue were ripe for discussion this session. Oh, and Simon has no idea what 'New Game Plus' is, the senile old shit.

This week we talk Resident Evil 2 Remake; the stealth-dropped battle royale game Apex Legends from Titanfall creators Respawn Entertainment; the Anthem demo, and XCom 2 among others. News includes fresh disappointments in Fallout 76’ new patch, Subnautica, and Metro Exodus.

We're back for the new year of 2019! This week we talk JRPGs, top down shooters and the bonkers nature of Metal Gear Solid. We’re also hosting our own little game of the year 2018 in place of the news this week.

Today it's all about space! Giles kicks off first though with his playthrough of Darksiders III, before we move on to Elite: Dangerous, Star Citizen, and X4 makes an appearance in the news. Ring of Elysium gets a good mention until we move on to news of the game awards, Fallout 76, and the Epic Games Store.

Simon trucks through the west coast of America as research for his nephew, while him and Giles try to discern the appeal of the simulator genre. Simon successfully kills Sean Bean, (albeit messily), and gets all nostalgic over old DOS games. Giles gets back into Pokemon with the recent release of Let's Go and fails terribly in Frostpunk. News includes Fallout 76, Darksiders 3, No Man's Sky, and Kingdom Hearts III.
