Console Yourself

This week Tom and Matt talk about a 2 minute game for 40 minutes. Why? How? Well because while Don't Sh*t Your Pants may not be a long game, it sure is a big spring-board to talk about all manner of topics including game genre, length, design and the evolution of an artist honing their craft.

In this bonus episode (or should we say NEGA-SODE?) for the week, Tom and Matt put on the rant pants and rip into NBA 2k18 and Thimbleweed Park.

Now while this program is almost always attempting to be a platform for the beauty and positivity of games, sometimes you need to be a negative nellie and wallow in the lows, just so that you can makes the highs feel all that sweeter.

We hope you enjoyed this little bonus episode, and remember! If you’ve got anything to say, you can get connected to us via [email protected] or find us on Instagram at @consoleyourselfpodcast and Twitter at Matt's all time favourite Twitter handle @consoleyourpod

After a steady diet of Metal Gear Solid 2 we have returned to the world of regular gaming chats! Listen to us shake off the rustyness by chatting all about Horizon: Zero Dawn, tantric sex, the Yakuza game series (and real life Yakuza experiences), Thimbleweed Park and Thumper!

Also we have a highly in depth Sonic Mania review, Matt breaking very important Mario + Rabbids news, Sonic partnering up with a veeeery unlikely business in Japan, a segment returning in ‘How Many Xbox Ones were sold in Japan this Week?’ and even a mention of Ask Jeeves! What more could you want?

Part three of our four part discussion on Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is here! If you haven't listened to at least part two, we strongly recommend that you do as this episode picks up from the Fatman boss battle and takes us right through to the ending.

It's a meaty, bloated and long discussion, and we do so hope that you enjoy it!

We'll wrap up our four part episode later in the month when the final part drops, but until then if you've got anything to say, please get connected to us via [email protected] or find us on Instagram at @consoleyourselfpodcast and Twitter at Matt's all time favourite Twitter handle @consoleyourpod

Do a HIT-POINTS special on MGS2 they said, it'd be EASY they said...

Well Matt, Tom and special guest Jordan O'Meara managed to talk about Metal Gear Solid 2 for about 10 hours and so now we have the first part of an episode split into four. This first part covers the introduction to the game including development titbits and facts before dissecting the first 'Tanker' chapter.

Future episodes are to follow in the month covering the rest of the game. We hope you come along for the ride!
