It's 8:47am. Me and indie game developer Ben Rose are heading into Black Mesa for what promises to be the most eventful day at work we've ever had. While breaking down this absolute CLASSIC, we chat glitches, childhood nightmares, and the undeniable sex appeal of Gordan Freeman.

Warning for some swears (we're British, after all).

Welcome to the show where we obsess over the best storylines in gaming. If you've ever sat speechless with a controller in your hand because of a twist, or spent an evening trapped in a Final Fantasy Reddit hole, or just sobbed yourself silly at The Last Of Us, you're in good company. Get yourself a cuppa, and come and share in My Game Fiction Addiction.

IT'S BEEN 84 YEARS! It might have been, who knows, what is time anyway? New jobs, COVID, and all other hurdles aside, we're finally able to bring you part deux of our deep dive on Knights of the Old Republic 2!! 
(Fun fact: this episode was actually recorded back in October 2021...)
If you recall we last left our intrepid space gang after all the madness that went down on the Peragus Fuel Mining Station. Kreia, Atton, the Exile and T3-M4 are all aboard the Ebon Hawk wondering - like me - what the heck is going on and why the Sith are after 'em. In this episode we explore Telos, meet a couple of new party members, have a slagging match with Atris, get some juicy tea on the Exile's trial, and get shot down/arrested around 3547 times... 
Warning for some mild swears (we're British, after all), alongside spoilers for KOTOR and KOTOR 2. Obvs if you haven't heard the first part, go back and listen to that or this won't make a shred of sense. The next part will be arriving in the next month or so, along with episodes on some awesome stand alone game stories. TTFN.

KOTOR 2: Part II - Fancy a Cuppa Telos?

Because our episode on Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic got such a lovely response,  Ben and I are hopping back in the Ebon Hawk to bring you a multi-part deep dive on the sequel! (Plus, we've all got KOTOR fever since THAT remake trailer during September's PlayStation Showcase...) In this episode we explore the game's enigmatic first chapter, featuring the Exile's bizarre hangover on board the creepy Peragus Mining Facility, the hilarity of HK-50's smooth tongue, our new cast of party members, and why Atton is stupidly meta from the jump.

KOTOR 2 - Part 1: Peragus II

Annnnd that's a wrap on E3 2021! Seeing as our predictions episode went down so well with you guys, this time we're bringing you our reactions, fave moments and most anticipated games from the big event. And if you're thinking to yourself, "Damn E3 isn't as exciting as when I was a kid", we think we might have stumbled upon the reason why...

On this journey of indies and giants, we chat Atomic Heart, Starfield, Trek to Yomi, Somerville, Breath of the Wild 2, Stranger of Paradise, Guardians of the Galaxy, Halo Infinite, Redfall, Psychonauts 2, and loads more. Along the way we also discuss our inherent fear of arthritis, cheese sandwiches, Macklemore, mental health, the heartbreak of Beyond Good and Evil 2, and killing Chaos.

Our Reactions to E3 2021
