Console Yourself

Coming in at the end of the month of July is the latest HIT-POINTS, this time taking aim at Platinum's much celebrated Bayonetta, which only recently received a PC port. But does this 2009 release hold up for two first time players? Were Tom and Matt flown to the moon, or did they have a miserable (witch) time? Tune in to find out!

As an extra note: If Bayonetta sounds like your thing and you happen to be an Xbox Games with Gold subscriber, then lucky you, Bayonetta is all yours for August 2017!

The news is back asking all the important questions, like "if you were a Pokemon and also a drink flavor, what kind would you be?.."

WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT? WHAT DOES EVERYBODY NEEED?!? Bubsy's back baby, in news form! Joining along with that 'exciting' news is the immediate announcement and cancellation of Five Nights at Freddy's 6, Bayonetta teasing Switch owners, Tom juggling his options over his next console purchase and Matt explaining the simple joy of announcing that you're using tilt controls in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

It's the first attempt of something new at the Console Yourself podcast, something we're calling Gaming Tales. The idea is an occasional special where we try to spin a good yarn about a personal gaming experience.

In this first volume we've got three stories: Morning Express Switch, Halo Envy and Broken Window Blues.

Give it a listen and tell us what you think. Maybe you've even got a story of your own to share on a future volume?..

After a one week absence due to Tom's sub-par immune system, Console Yourself returns with a chats episode to cover the week in gaming news. Tom has a new console pre-ordered, Matt has a damp cloth to put over Beyond Good and Evil 2 and the team at Ubisoft have our whimsy covered this week.

Wanna connect with us? Sure you do! We can now be found on Twitter @consoleyourpod via email at [email protected] and at instagram with the thankfully more simple username of consoleyourself throw us some likes and start a convo!

Did anything happen this week in the world of gaming news?.. Oh that's right, a new Bubsy game was announced! Oh and a little thing called E3. We go through the good, the bad and the overhyped gross marketing talk that made up this years E3 event.

Take yourself to the next level of podcasting with the new and improved Console Yourself Podcast X (the X stands for sex). Epic audio in 4K can be all yours for as little as $649, or half the cost of Assassin's Creed Origin's special edition.

We also apologise for mentioning Bubsy 3 times. It should have been much, much more.

Matt's back and right on time to talk with Tom about more Zelda, Red Dead, Far Cry 5 'controversy', Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and pour one out for the ending production of the PS3.

Whimsy as always in the latest chats episode! Join us next week for a HIT-POINTS special on Lone Survivor and earn yourself some karma by giving us a review and rating on iTunes.

With Matt away this week due to a scheduling conflict *cough playing Zelda cough* Tom takes to the hosting chair and invites special guest Jordan O'Meara into the fold! Jordan goes over his gaming history starting with the humble NES and contining through the generations. Pokemon... So much Pokemon.

There's a smattering of news, speculation and as always whimsy. We hope you enjoy it!

Eagle eared listeners will have picked up on Matt's latest purchase in last week HIT-POINTS special on The Wolf Among Us, but if you haven't gotten around to listening to that one yet then the surprise isn't spoiled.

*puts on panto voice* JUST WHATEVER COULD IT BE???

Also getting a mention is Prey, Bioshock Infinite, Mass Effect Andromeda (more like MESS effect amirite) Bioware, Pokemon SoulSilver, Mario Kart, Cat Peach and round it off with some downright pleasant news to tug the heart strings. We hope you enjoy it!

The episode so nice they recorded it twice!... Well, not so much twice as over two weeks. Sorry for the overly long break between episodes but this one clocks in at almost 3 hours and took a while to record and put together. We do hope that after all the effort it's something you enjoy!

The Console Yourself podcast loads up another HIT-POINTS special this time looking into The Wolf Among Us. Did Telltale tell a tale worth telling? Did we play as a kind hearted Bigby or one with a equally feared bark and bite? And most importantly did either of us burn down Auntie Greenleaf's tree and turn the Crooked Man into a crow? Tune in to find out!
