In this episode, Andy and Roiben return to podcasting after a (significant) absence.

Topics include catching up on what's been going on, a bit about depression and mental health, chatter about nieces and nephews and a discussion about the Jason Bourne film trilogy.

Andy mentioned a recent blog post about what's been going on:

In reponse to a YouTube post by N7Kate, I give my opinion on the "Disk vs Digital" videogaming debate.

Personally, I come down on the side of digital these days but I go into a bit of detail as to why that's the case and why physical copies currently don't do much for me.

Andy pops on mic to record a quick rundown, and commentary, about the YouTube Geek Week remake episode of classic Chidren's TV Game Show Knightmare.
The Knightmare episode can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74r-EbIqt9s.

Andy rants about the latest episode of Doctor Who. It started off so well, building up to a really good plot revelation. Only to fall apart in the climax.

SPOILER ALERT
I talk directly about the ending. Watch before you listen!

In this episode Andy and Roiben discuss the first three episodes of the latest half-series of Doctor Who, talking about their likes, dislikes and hopes.

Before that, they also briefly discuss a couple of other TV shows that they've been watching in recent weeks.

Firstly, Andy reflects on a weekend spent gaming with a bunch of friends during a trip up north.

After this, Roiben joins in to make a start on discussing mental health issues. In particular we talk self-harm, owing to March 1st being Self Injury Awareness Day.

IMPORTANT:

This episode carries the "Explicit" tag for two reasons. Firstly, the gaming section gets sweary in places.

Secondly, some of the topics covered in the Mental Health discussion can get serious, heavy, and potentially triggery. So just be aware that we will be openly discussing things surrounding the topic and if you're currently in a mood where this can trigger you, you may want to leave it until a better time.

Also, as the gaming section was already a tad sweary, I have not edited out any strong language during the Mental Health section. And as this is an emotionally-charged topic, we do get a tad raw language-wise.

Colds have left Andy with a croaky voice and Roiben with little voice at all, so it is another Solo Andy episode this time around.

He covers The Avangers, Mistborn, Mass Effect 3 and UK High Street shops shutting.

Andy flies solo this episode, outlining some of 2012's technology purchases. One of which is directly podcast-related.

In this episode, recorded on location in a Leeds hotel room, we discuss some of our favourite movies. Both from childhood and in recent years.
