Following on from last week's gaming as a parent episode, this week you can hear it straight from the mind of a 6 year old gamer!

What games does a 6 year old like?

Do they know what is safe online? (No, they don't, as you'll hear)

What hardware do they want?

What do they think is the future of gaming?

Mac and cheese or pizza?

All these questions will be answered to give you the view of a child without actually having to ask yours.

Essentially - Kids love gaming, they don't care about how many hz you have, or your k/d ratio, or if there's ray tracing on or off, they just want fun, so don't forget that this Christmas if you're struggling to find an affordable gaming gift🎄

(in case you're wondering, Noah said the name of the street we live on, hence the beep, he didn't swear 🤣)

We use AI to talk about AI in this week's episode, from AI art to writing a playable game in seconds, is it ethical to use it? Should it be banned or praised? Let us know what you think!

Using Google's Gemini AI, we get directed to talk about a variety of subjects, from gaming soundtracks to the infuriating parts of video games.

What did you think of AI doing Martin's job of intro and outro? Don't worry, we're not replacing him....🤔

Remember OnLive? Was Stadia a life-changer for you? Let's discuss cloud gaming: its origins, its trajectory, and our personal experiences with the technology.

Next, we delve into the released PS5 Pro spec sheet and, inevitably, its price.

Duncan critiques the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign, followed by A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, a game demanding silence to avoid a grisly fate.

We discuss the games, the hardware, the competition and the follow-up, the Sega hardware swansong, the Dreamcast.
