Champion The Gamer

At the literal front line of game collecting, Charles is currently rebuilding his video game collection.

I discuss the challenges and rewards of his journey with him, and we delve deep into the connection gaming can make between people.

We dive deep into the topic of haul videos, his love for Nintendo, and why Final Fantasy is so divisive...

In this episode I am delighted to be joined by Inept Saiyan. Not only a creator with wonderful gaming content, but one whom I've followed since even before tiktok.

We take a deep dive into what drives engaging content, why gaming tiktok is the place to be right now, and why 4k might not be the best thing...

We share mutual love for Sam Fisher and I get his opinion on games that deserve a revival.

It was an absolute JOY for me to have 8bit on the pod.

A true pillar in the gaming/retro gaming community on tiktok and twitch, and someone who has uplifted countless people with his selfless efforts.

He decides to start a fight with me about Doom Slayer vs Master Chief, we chat about the ways in which gaming might change in the not to0 distant future, how the markets have changed...

and why gatekeeping might actually have a place after all.

He also takes the role of thanos, snapping his fingers to change one thing about the gaming industry in Coaches Questions.

Check out 8 bit and ALL the wonderful stuff he does;

I'm joined by Kerr9000, one of the first creators I found on tiktok and one I've wanted to chat with for a very long time.

Kerr discusses his weight loss journey, how gaming has brought he and his wife together, and how the medium of gaming is a rare breed of storytelling.

A fascinating character, Kerr delves into his time as a writer, whilst also teasing the rare Star Wars media how owns.

We break down whether the Saturn is better than the PS1 in our Hot Takes and Solid Debates, and a whole heap more.

We also talk about the more serious side of gaming and how it's an incredibly inclusive of those with disability and other needs, and he breaks down the fabulous things coming with his friends in March as they celebrate the lives of two of their members who sadly passed recently.

In this episode Retro Revival discusses how to use the FYP and "the algorithm" to your advantage, his journey from casual collector to 10k creator, and the joys content can bring.

He gives us incredible insight into what goes into crafting engaging content, and we chat about how we has built his collection over time via online vendors and car boots.

We also potentially incite violence with our hot takes.... are books overrated?!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go and support his podcast with @Boxy_Arty "30 Something Gamers", a phenomenal gaming pod which you need to be listening to asap.

We are blessed to be joined by the amazing Yorkshire Gamer.

In this episode we tackle his loyalty and connection to the Playstation and what it means to him. We rattle some cages with our Hot Takes surrounding trophies and tank controls, and I subject him to some tough Coaches Q's.. will he surprise you with the games he HASN'T played?!

Yorkshire is a remarkable person both in and out of content creation, and he opens up on his reasons for the Charity Stream he's embarking on on March 14th. A really passionate and rich conversation and I thank him for being honest and open.
