Hey, there!

We are a bit late, but good news on the front, you will be getting another episode shortly!

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER… or at least existing challengers, taking on new games.

Fresh off of the aftermath of episode 300, Tim & Coleman go sans Doctor for a special bono show. Those super-nice folks at Bandai Namco have once again invited us to their London offices to play some upcoming games and of course, we said yes.

• Soulcalibur VI
• Jump Force
• My Hero Ones Justice
• Code Vein
• Plus, Tim interviews Kieron Kelly (Product Manager at Larian Studios) about Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition.

Welcome to the maiden voyage of the good ship VRB! This is a safe space for Kev, Diarmuid and Tim to discuss all of their thoughts on VR – the good, the bad and the vrugly! While this episode focusses heavily on the latter sections, the podcast will generally be divided into three main sections of past, present and future. Let us know what you think of this first episode and if there is anything you would like us to add going forward.

Past: Make sure to listen to our pilot episode to get an understanding of our VR backgrounds.

Present: What We'VR been Playing Including; Ark Park, Roller Coaster Legends 2: Thor's Hammer, Downward Spiral: Horus Station, Paper Valley, KryptCrawler, BBC Sport VR: 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia and Moss.

Future: A wrap up of all the headline VR games announced at E3, including; Stormland, Echo Combat, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot, Prey: Typhon Hunter, The Elder Scrolls: Blades, Ghost Giant, Tetris Effect, Trover Saves the Universe, Beat Saber, Transference, Déraciné and Firewall Zero Hour.

We made it to episode 300! Are you proud of us yet, DAD?

A lot has happened since we went through our Big Red metamorphosis back in 2012 and we've decided to celebrate the fact that we've still not decided to quit the show, by messing with the natural order of things. This week, there will be no news or reviews and instead, we're going to play a very special game.

Dan, Tim & Coleman are joined by their friend Ed, who has written a BRB UK themed choose your own adventure… what could possibly go wrong?

We'd like to thank Ed for writing the story for our 300th show, which you can play for yourself here.

Also, thank you to Bleezy for doing a bang-up job on this show's artwork once again – you can download an HD copy, right here.

Thank you so much for your continued support, we truly couldn't have kept going for this long without the best audience we could possibly wish for.

We're back to normal following last week's E3 shenanigans, meaning that we have Dan, Tim & Coleman all ready to talk your ears off of your head (but not literally as that would be both gross and disturbing). So much like the infamous words once-spoken by the Pink lady, let's get this party started!
