After revealing their deepest gaming insecurities last week, the Boys are back and they're here to convert. This week they'll be discussing the games they use to get the uninitiated through the door, and what not to do when it comes to recruiting non-gamers.

But before they get into it, the Boys have been busy playing new games this week with Sarah stuck in the brain of a teenager, Glenn caught in a loop and Pierre lost in a Lovecraftian world, there's a lot to dissect.

Download, press play and leave any cousin energy at the door.

Come one, come all to the latest Button Boy offering. This week the Boys are opening up about a deeply personal feeling: game shame. Ever had your flatmate, partner or work colleague stumble in on you in the throes of defeating a boss and just felt plain silly? Well, don't worry, you're amongst friends here. They discuss how it hits and what to do about it.

Elsewhere, Pierre's gone back to emulate his childhood, romping around Macro World, Glenn's playing a literal smash hit and Sarah's up to no good in a wholly grocery-based environment.

And just when you thought you were done, Glenn has a real déjà-vu gripe to hit you with.

This week, the Button Boys are tearing up the rulebook and heading off-road in our first-ever non-themed episode. They can say and do whatever the heck they want and there's nothing you or I, their producer, can do about it.

Sarah gets a Greek blast from the past, Pierre's happy the kids have gone and Glenn's been playing a contender for his game of the year before the lot of them tackle VR, COVID, The Traitors and hotel Wi-Fi in what some people are describing as one of the most 'urgent' and 'pressing' podcast episodes of the year.

For those who fear this topical lawlessness don't worry, Glenn's still got a slippery gripe for you right at the end.

Listening instructions:

That's right, it's all things comfortable as the Boys discuss the games they turn to when they want to feel snug as proverbial bugs. From age-old favourites to weather-beaten inns, there's something for everyone.

Elsewhere, Sarah's recommendation gets its satisfying hooks into Pierre, who finds himself wanting more and more, while Sarah has moved on to an equally relaxing and beautiful game. Meanwhile Glenn's been playing cartoons and has suffered perhaps the most humiliating gaming moment of his life.

They're spooky and they're kooky, they're all obsessed with booty, video games and poopy, the Button (boy) Family... It's a Halloween special this week as the Boys discuss the scariest games they've ever played, from the unsettling to the outright terrifying.

Sarah's been finding ways to unwind and then wind right back up this week with their game choices, Pierre's frustrated by nonsensical lore and Glenn's discovered what can only be described as, "gamer's crack".

And as if you weren't scared enough already, Glenn reveals his pathological ability to not get scared and the only game that really got to him.

As the nights draw in and gloom permeates the the land, the darkest delights of the Button Boys have reared their ugly heads. Treachery, cruelty and outright psychopathy fill this week's episode as the Boys confess their most evil gaming moments. From Pierre's battlefield abandonment to Sarah's inclination to dish out corporal punishments, the Boys reveal a chilling side of themselves.

Elsewhere, the gang has been busy playing all sorts of games. Pierre's checking out the start of human civilisation as we know it, Sarah's confronting a deeply disturbing horticulturist from Zelda and Glenn's been playing a game from our most anticipated list.

Finally, Glenn's wet at the start of the podcast. Press play now to find out why!

Buckle up your buckles, it's another episode of Button Boys. This week the Boys discuss those jaw-dropping gaming moments that never leave you, for better or worse. From big bummed Bandicoots to the frozen tundra, we relive some of video games' best and most shocking sequences.

The adrenaline rush doesn't stop there as Pierre decapitates his enemies in his first Game Pass game, Sarah comes face to face with a real-life game developer and Glenn... well Glenn struggles to put one foot in front of the other.

This week also sees the big reveal, the moment you've all be waiting for. Which of the three candidates; Loch Ness, Pippa Funnel: The Stud Farm Inheritance and Hell Let Loose, has won our listener poll to be played next on Hidden Cache.

And if the episode weren't action packed enough we've managed to find time to squeeze in a little gripe and let's just say, Glenn's feeling a little less than sympathetic.

Tune in and drop out to this week's celebration of gaming's greatest soundtracks. The music that seeps into your subconscious, the sweeping scores, the minimalist themes and the hardcore thrash metal that accompany some of our favourite in-game experiences.

Before the Button Boys wax lyrical about that, Sarah has a tale of woe and misfortune to tell, Pierre's thinking about throwing in the towel and Glenn is getting (far too) excited about the first game on his new Switch 2.

And finally, Glenn gets gripey about Mother Nature. Looks like he really doesn't care for the environment.

This week the Boys are holed up in their favourite gaming hubs. From safe rooms to menu screens and everything in between, they'll be restocking their supplies, chatting with NPCs and working out where they can sell their unsettling quantities of unregistered firearms.

Elsewhere, Sarah's got an apology to make about a previous episode, Pierre's been travelling back to the earliest access of them all, the birth of civilisation, and Glenn has an update on their Metacritic Prediction Game.

And then there's Pierre's reality-based gripe that I'm sure will light up the depths of our Discord channels.

Another week passes, another deluxe episode of Button Boys landing on your doormat. Tear the cardboard box open, peel the cellophane wrapper off and pop it into your console of choice (ears).

This week the Boys reach deep into the crannies of their minds as they take a look back to their gaming origins. A time before controller mastery, when games were unfathomably hard and indescribably exciting.

We also catch up with what everyone's been playing from Glenn's Sicilian getaway to Pierre's housebound adventures.

It's not all sweetness and smiles here at Button Boy HQ though as the three of them get down and gripey with Glenn finding that it's often too little, too late.
