Game-related discussion abounds, including Cyberpunk, Dead Cells, that game wot has a goose in, and the many mysteries of Metal Gear. Then, things get a little heated in the quiz, as the philosophy of belts and buckled-strap attire come under intense scrutiny. Two hours!

Guess who's back again? If you guessed us, then you win the prize of a free podcast. Aren't you a lucky duckling. 

In this episode, we bring you the very latest in gaming news. We talk about the start of Prey, about 4 minutes of Breath of the Wild, and The Witcher 3 before delving headlong into a length JRPG discussion. 

It mostly focusses on Ni no Kuni 2 and Tales of Berseria and their wildly different tones. After that, George has been playing the Watson & Holmes board game and Gav has a sizeable backlog he is slowly whittling away.

Finally, we cap this episode off not with a quiz, but with a Darksiders Choose Your Own Adventure. It's silly, it's poorly written, it could easily be Darksiders cannon, Nevi wrote it and you can read/play it here.

Thanks as always for listening, we love you all.

Bye,

Nevi

Hello! It's time for another Bits & Pieces podcast. This time we have episode number 15 for your listening pleasure. 

In this episode, George shares his reforged love of the Brothers in Arms franchise. After that, we Gav tries his darndest to tell us about Slap City, but we go down a rabbit hole of PlayStation All-Stars and other old PlayStation games. 

George shares a board game that we picked up at the UK Games Expo called Roll Quest. Thanks again to the guys over at Hercules Game Studios for giving us their demo copy. George still has the Miniature Heroes chocolate box you gave him the game in displayed proudly on his shelf.

To cap off this episode Nevi teases everybody's brain with a Nier: Automata quiz that slowly descends into madness. 

Enjoy!

George and Gav ruminate on the highlights of this year's E3. There was a lot to cover and what was meant to be an hour of efficient electronic entertainment exhibition exposition turned out to be 2 hours of extended electronic entertainment exhibition extrapolation.

There's a new Star Wars game by Respawn

Will Fallout:76 be ruined by griefers?

How faithfully will Forza Horizons recreate the M25 as the racer moves to the UK?

Missing the opportunity for a joke about being able to kiss people in Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Love Island.

Smash Brothers now features every brother that ever smashed.

All that and more, as the boys grapple with the amorphous blob of video games news that oozed out of E3.

Here is a 'Talkthrough' of me playing The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. This is the classic Fighting Fantasy book that started the series. In this podcast, I read through the entire book - or at least as much as you can in a single playthrough. 

There is a part in the middle where I get horribly lost and start to lose my mind so I won't hold anything against you if you skip past this section. Trust me it was a lot longer before the edit, but there still a lot of me going "Have I been this way? I've definitely not been this way. Oh wait, yes I have." but if you are happy to listen to a 27-year-old man go insane while reading a book, then enjoy.

There is a plan to 'Talkthrough' more of these books as I have a huge stack of them. The next one will be The Citadel of Chaos. However, if you have a favourite you want me to do, then message us on social media or send us an email and I will try to follow those requests. I'll take a picture of all the books I currently have and then we can go from there. Otherwise, I will probably just do them in order of the ones I own.

Anyway, enjoy the podcast.

Howdy stranger, not seen you roun' these here parts befor'. It has been a while since we have podcasted, I fully accept that. Things happened and we got busy, sorry.

Anyway, we are back now. Here to tell you all about Far Cry 5 (and spoil the ending, so keep an ear out for that), Orwell: Ignorance is Strength (and how that is a telling representation of modern-day life), and a quiz about my PSN stats (not the most enthralling quiz, but it was impromptu). There is also some board game talk about Civilization: A New Dawn, and something else (just give the podcast a listen).

Anyway, regular service should commence with us sporadically doing podcasts, missing months and generally being unreliable.

Keep an eye out for more coverage of the UK Games Expo in the coming weeks. George and I are attending and there will be an expo specific podcast.

Other than that, you know the drill. Hit us up on all the things and have a nice day.

Calling all hunters. This is episode three of Tales from the Hunt - A Monster Hunter World Podcast.

In this episode, we talk about the upcoming March 22nd update, Deviljho and our experience using the lance and great sword. Lots of interesting discussions with plenty of tales from our hunts. 

Happy hunting everyone.

March 22nd Update Link -

http://www.monsterhunterworld.com/us/topics/update/

Welcome to the 12th episode of the Bits & Pieces podcast. Thank you all for coming. In this episode, we throw caution to the wind and start with a quiz. George has carefully crafted a celebrity challenge causing cranial confusion. 

Alliteration aside, we then chat about George and his new Nintendo Switch. No Switch conversation would be complete without some Breath of the Wild talk. After that, Gav makes every jealous since he has been playing Into the Breach. He has also tried out the latest Stellaris expansion and we toy with the idea of doing a let's play. 

After all of that, we pop on our serious hats and discuss whether you should feel guilty for playing games when you could be doing something 'productive'. 

Thank you for listening, and we will see you next time.

Greetings once more Hunter. We are back with another episode of Tales from The Hunt - A Monster Hunter World podcast. 

In this episode, there will be talk about the heavy bowgun and why it is so damn satisfying to use. This will be followed up with a discussion about Bazelgeuse and Tzitzi-Ya-Ku. Our premier exploding scales and flash photography monsters. This is all capped off with us talking about the Gathering Hub and Arean missions.

Happy hunting everyone.
