You Either Die The Hero....Or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villian

You Either Die The Hero....Or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villian

So, when is enough enough? It's Pokemon Day, and as much as Wayne loves Pokemon, there's an argument that what was originally 151 Pokemon is now well over 1,200....and Steven is playing the new Resident Evil and wondering whether it's a similar nostalgia exercise. What do fans actually want? What makes people happy? When should a franchise call it a day? Is Assassins Creed 3 better than 2? Did Arkham Asylum get it right first time out? For all these questions and more, listen to the latest episode of Plug In And Play

You Mean I Have to Use My Hands? That's like a Babies Toy!

Plug in and Play kicks off 2026 with an episode that lets the robots take the wheel, as we dive into how AI is reshaping everything from creativity to everyday gaming. Along the way we somehow end up in Gotham, debating what Batman can teach us about technology, ethics, and very questionable nightlife choices. And yes, in true “future is now” fashion, even this episode description may or may not have been written by AI… but if it gets a laugh, we’re taking the credit anyway.

A Message from Our Sponsors (Not Really Though)

Steven and Wayne talk advertising; specifically PlayStation Advertising, with the arrival of the new 'It Happens on PS5' adverts currently hitting screens across the globe. How much influence does advertising/marketing have on your abilities and decisions to purchase a product? Can you be nostalgic for a PlayStation advert? Well, apparently, you can - or at least Wayne is! We invite you to listen, comment, critique and let us know what YOUR most memorable adverts are! Also, if you're thinking about sponsoring us, always welcome to get in touch! And yes, Wayne listened back to himself talking about listening to himself. And now he's reading this description in which he's realising he's writing about himself, in the third party, talking about listening to his own voice from the past. It's enough to make my head hurt. Need a lie down after all that.

I Don't Have a Dog In This Fight

Dive into the latest episode of Plug In and Play as we break down the biggest stories in gaming this month. We tackle the much-discussed delay of Grand Theft Auto VI, exploring Rockstar’s reasons, the community’s reaction, and what it could mean for gaming’s biggest franchise. Plus, we unpack the repeated postponement of Terminator 2D: No Fate, investigating the quirks of modern release schedules and the challenges of launching across digital and physical platforms. Whether you're here for blockbuster news, new releases, or a peek behind the scenes of game development, this episode is packed with insights, opinions, and a dash of fun. Plug in for the latest updates, witty banter, and your weekly dose of gaming culture news.

"So, uh, where do I even start?"

As Steven takes some time for a special family occasion, Wayne decides to turn up, press record and talk about one of his favourite games of all time - Resident Evil 2. Harking back to the very first episode of Plug In & Play, which is still available btw, you can listen to Wayne attempt to do a solo show - and listen to his ramblings and inner thoughts on Leon's motivations. Enjoy! (Don't worry, Steven will be back soon!)
