8 Bit News

As Halloween has been and gone, Ethan and James spend sometime discussing their favourite horror games including Outlast and Amnesia, before moving onto their most terrifying enemies in a horror game. Plus Ethan delivers some of the latest technology news.

8 Bit News returns for the new Felpham FM season, join James with new host Ethan and special guest Aron. This episode James spends a little time introducing his new hosts to the listeners covering everything from their preferred games consoles to their favourite games. Plus they talk some of the latest tech news (or at least try to ....)

In the deepest parts of the internet lie shadows. These shadows have names and they have struck fear, madness and mystery into the hearts of people just from mentioning them. These are the legends and the myths that have caused a number of concerns and have been investigated. If you dare think of taking this journey, Just remember. Curiosity killed the cat. 

Join James and Maisie as they dive into the world of creepypastas and talk about their favourites and the real life events that have happened as a result of people taking them too far.  

Trigger warning: Brief discussion of attempted murder. To skip this section please skip through 8:24-13:50

What is a fandom? Many philosophers have tried and failed to answer this mysterious phenomenon. Maisie and James are no philosophers, they're just two idiots put in front of a microphone, but by gosh they're going to try anyway. Enjoy discussion of Fanart, Cosplay, Fanfiction and the debate of the morals behind fan works and fandom.

In this episode of 8 Bit News, James is joined by Ethan (of Serial Thrillers Fame) to discusses extra-terrestrial life and how aliens are often depicted in the media, before moving onto their biggest video games disappointments.

In todays episode Maisie and James will be continuing their discussion of Star Wars with their thoughts on The Last Jedi! To avoid spoilers miss out this section; 2:43-5:30. They also talk about their experiences with  the PlayStation VR and whether or not virtual reality technology is going too far. Is it all harmless fun or are we inching ever closer to the 'Oasis'?

With The Last Jedi soon to be hot off the presses the hosts along with special guest Mr Manning with are revisiting the beloved franchise that is STAR WARS! (Yes we know they already did a SW centred episode but shhhhhhhhh). You can bet they'll be some quality discussion over minute details of the universe nobody cares about and Maisie getting overly aggressive or excited over a certain character because hey, it wouldn’t be an 8-Bit news Episode without that! Given Maisie will probably quiz James on the franchise at some point in the show, let's hope he can make a knowledge run in less the 12 parsecs...

This week's episode is sure to be an interesting one, with regular host Maisie being joined by Robbie Born and Megan Clark, Felpham FM members making their debut podcast appearance! Enjoy Maisie's regular interview format that she refuses to change due to stubbornness as well as anything else the guests wish to present. How exciting!

Get excited ladies and gents, as we have a special guest on today's episode of 8 Bit News. None other than Ethan Haig of Serial Thrillers...fame? Sure lets go with that. Discussion will range from favourites, least favourites, and I'm sure Maisie will make sure there's a Kiss Marry Kill in there somewhere. And borderlands... so much borderlands...

It's time to put down your copy of the Quibbler as 8 Bit News school of Witchcraft, Wizardry and Randomness invites you to our Harry Potter special! Discussion of houses, patronuses, and tie-in video games awaits you. Also look forward to Maisie giving James a Harry Potter quiz and questioning her faith in her co-host, should be fun!
