Daft Souls

Matt has been dabbling with Clash Royale and the Nioh alpha demo, while Quinns has become obsessed with Hitman and Fallen London. We then cap off the podcast with a brief chat about what it's like to be faced with the prospect of BEING OLD.

Matt and Quinns return with a mild palette-cleanser. After weeks of Dark Souls chat, here's a short and sharp podcast that's largely about Ratchet & Clank, with some general chat about the challenges of narrative design whacked onto the end of it. Enjoy!

Listen, you knew it had to happen at some point - the clue was right there in the podcast's name. This week Matt and Quinns are joined by Keza, who has spent two years writing a book about Dark Souls. We chat about the book, the series, From Software's magic, and cap it off with a clearly-flagged spoilery discussion about the first 15 hours of Dark Souls 3. Enjoy!

Matt and Quinns snuggle up inside a small cardboard box for an exciting conversation about VIDEOGAMES. Matt shares spoiler-free thoughts on Dark Souls 3, then we chat Enter The Gungeon, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Samurai Gunn, and more.

This week Matt is joined by Jim Trinca and Pip Warr - two wonderful guests who combine forces to routinely pull this week's podcast off-piste. When the conversation isn't happily swerving into increasingly unlikely lanes, we chat Overwatch, Clash Royale, and The Witcher 3. We had fun recording it, we hope you enjoy listening!

Quinns and Matt are joined by Kotaku UK’s Keza MacDonald for a chat about this year’s Game Developer Conference, followed up with a detailed delve into our experiences, anecdotes, and thoughts on the current state of Virtual Reality. Contains non-explicit but nonetheless adult chat about popular alternative uses.

Matt and Quinns spend a phenomenal amount of time talking and arguing about Stardew Valley, before Pip reveals she's played No Man's Sky and both of the boys feel very bloody silly. The podcast will be taking a week off next Monday, but should return the week after that with an episode recorded live at GDC. How exciting!

Matt and Quinns are joined by Joe, who has played 9999 games in the past week. We chat about The Flame In The Flood before diving off into a world of horror: Quinns has been playing Kitty HorrorShow's Anatomy, while Joe has fond thoughts about Layers of Fear.

This week Matt hits PEAK-LURGY, evolving into the grumpiest man in the United Kingdom. If only someone had hit B during the transformation animation/fed him cake/let him slide away into a bath. Apologies for that - form will return shortly. This week we chat SFV, Puzzle and Dragons, the Bravely Default sequel, and more.

This week Matt is joined by two guests: Chris Bratt and Gav Murphy, both of whom remain sober and sensible while Matt glugs his way through the dregs of a cold. We chat about Unravel (and whether or not Yarny deserved to horribly die in a fire), Overwatch, briefly chat about XCOM 2 - obviously - and then Matt reveals that he's playing Cookie Clicker. Again.

Finally, we answer a couple of interesting questions - leading to Chris Bratt offering the shocking revelation: "I don't know a lot about developing lunchboxes".
