Hey podgoers!

Its-a-us, The LLVL Bros! Who saw this coming? In our now fortnightly freeplay week, both Fazz and Rich pick some of the heaviest hitters around... Pokemon Yellow (Gameboy) and Super Mario World ( Via Switch, Nintendo Online).

We won't lie... these are the kind of games we love chatting on about endlessly. Almost as endless as the first time you enter Mount Moon... We manage to cram as much as we can about these two games into an hour of podcasting whilst also casting a critical eye over each of them. There's even enough time to ask...

- What would you do to get your hands on Pokemon Yellow as a 10 year old?

- GTA VI. Set in Bridlington?

- What do you mean, 99 lives isn't enough to get through Super Mario World?!

Enjoy the pod. Link in Bio.

Hi Podgoers.

We're back in the spare room podbooth this week as Rich has recovered from Covid although Fazz is struggling with some lung goo of some type or other. We might need a cough button!

This week we grapple with the past time of wrestling. We discover that we really like talking about wrestling even if we're not really experts in the field. It's almost like this is an amateur production...

Up for review this week:

WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007 (PSP)

Guacamelee (PS Vita)

We talk about our favourite wrestlers and favourite wrestling memories. We also ask important questions like:

- Rick Foley? Mick Foley's new alter ego

- Is this too much oil and hay? Probably.

- Office clerk by day, luchador by night?

Enjoy the pod!

Hey ho, LEGO! Hey ho, LEGO!

This week we take a look at the Telltale games LEGO series. Unfortunately this is another covid-esque podcast for us due to Rich's ongoing illness. Don't worry, we'll be "building back better" (it works on so many levels) soon enough but until then 'brick' with us... I'm really sorry.

Anyway... Indy vs Gandalf, Marion vs Galadriel, Salah vs Bilbo baggins. Its a showdown for the ages (All 3 of them). LEGO Indiana Jones (PSP) and LEGO Lord of The Rings (PS Vita) get their secrets revealed, much to Frodos joy.

Then we decide ONCE AND FOR ALL, which is the better movie trilogy, Indiana Jones 1-3 or Lord of the Rings? The prize for the winner? 'Fortune and glory' of course.

Also:

- Kanst Ich Vorbei bitte?

- How long is too long for a canoodle?

- Can you truly love a Hobbit?

Enjoy the pod.

Welcome to another edition of the podcast. This is the '2020 throwback where one of us has Covid-19 and we podcast like isolated amateurs' edition...

Let's skip over that and throw it back even further... Let's throw it all the way back to 2005 when Burnout Legends (PSP) and Need for Speed: Most Wanted were released. Let's then throw it forward some of the way but not all of the way... Aim for 2012 where Need for Speed: Most Wanted remake (PS Vita) resides. After all that throwing, we've made a real cocktail of arcade racery goo which we hope you'll be able to digest easily enough! Make sense? What do you mean no?!? Just listen to the damn pod already.

While you're there listen out for...

- The Need for Speed Shipping Forecast.

- The Ballad of Geoff, Burnout Legend.

- What's my (game) age again?

Enjoy the pod.

Hi Podgoers.

Episode 25 sees us, once again, dip into our monthly secret freeplay week where both of the co-host's choose a game to review and our counterpart arbitrarily scores it out of 10 based on the accuracy/strength of our reviews. We're also joined once again by our good friend, Kyle Taylor who barely manages to stay awake during our reviews. Foreboding omens indeed!

Nevermind. Let's see if other listeners find the games that we've picked this week interesting enough. Rich plumbs the depths of the ocean for his review, Ecco The Dolphin 2: The Tides of Time (Sega MD). Meanwhile Fazz is concerned about how eerily similar the set up for State of Emergency (PS2) is to current affairs. KT gives us a little dabble on Diablo IV (Series X). Tidbits this week include...

- What makes a good drinker?

- Best Thunderclap mechanics?

- Are all Dolphins German?

Finally we finish off by Fazz asking 'Why do you lot like Role Playing Dice Games?'

Enjoy the pod.

Greetings Podgoers

This week, we continue our summer of sport at LLVL HQ and this time we are joined by @kyle.taylor.589583, British American Football Association Flag Commissioner.

KT is a dear friend of ours who founded @leedssamurai where we all met many moons ago. We'll be using Kyle's wealth of knowledge about American Football to help us dig in on the Madden franchise.

We take a look back at the series on our Sony handhelds and on a wider scale across the years. Finally, we discuss which are our favourite American Football games from the past.

Pertinent questions this week include:

- What are the breathtaking pills Rich speaks of?

- How many chickens equate to an Xbox 360 down t' market?

- Is shingles classified as a 'birthday present'?

Seeeeeetttttttt... HUT!

Grüezi Mitenand once again podgoers.

This is part two of our odyssey through football fanship. We're once again joined by host of The 15 Minute Swiss Football Podcast and regular contributor to The Square Ball, Paddy Gunn.

This week we start by talking about which football teams we support and why. And a lot of the time we are asking our teams 'JUST WHY?!?'

We swiftly move on from supporting teams to managing teams and we take a look at the Championship/Football manager series. Under the lens are Football Manager Handheld (PSP), Football Manager Classic 2014 (PS Vita), Football Manager 2017 (PC). We also get all misty eyed about prior entries in the series (2001 is a particular highlight) and learn a little more about UK geography.

This week other pressing questions include:

- Which beer do the Swiss like to quaff?

- Is being forced to support Leeds United classed as child abuse?

- What's the record attendance at a car boot sale in Farnborough?

If you like what you heard the last few weeks, let us know via our socials or if you didn't like it, direct that hate straight to @swiss_stadia. He can take it.

Enjoy the pod!

Grüezi Mitenand Podgoers

Welcome to part one of a special set of podcasts where we take an in depth look at the beautiful game through the lens of EA Sport's FIFA series. We've had to hit the transfer market for a big target man to help us out with some footballing knowledge. Luckily, we've managed to find Paddy Gunn on a Bosman hailing all the way from Switzerland.

Paddy is an absolute expert in all things football with an extensive slate of work including some brilliant long forms in his hometown Leeds United fanzine, The Square Ball. Paddy is also the proud peddler of The 15 Minute Swiss Football podcast which you can find through his @Swiss_Stadia Instagram page. If you want to learn more about Swiss soccer, you'd be hard pushed to find a better place to do so.

This week we take a look at the FIFA football franchise as a whole whilst also reviewing a few of the series installations for the PSP (2009) and PS Vita (2012).

Other important questions we answer include:

- How well will SK Barnacle do in this upcoming season in Croatia/Slovakia?

- Who can enter the long arm contest in Switzerland?

- FIFA or Pro Evo? Is this question the most mid 2000s question ever?

Enjoy the pod.

Hi Podgoers.

Episode 21 sees us, once again, dip into our new monthly secret freeplay week where both of the co-host's choose a game to review and our counterpart arbitrarily scores it out of 10 based on the accuracy/strength of our reviews.

Of course it would happen that both of us would try and cheat and pick 2 games to review this week!

Fazz picked an Outrun port (switch) and a new classic Turnip Boy commits tax evasion (Game Pass) whilst Rich stayed Gameboy focussed with his look back on Solar Striker and Dangan. This week we also try to answer...

- How much council tax should a vegetable pay?

- Bullet hell on a Gameboy sized screen? Is that a thing?!

- How hard can you crash into a fish bait shop and not kill your supportive female co-driver?

If you like what we do, why not check us out this Friday 04/08/23 when we will be sending out some live videos on our Instagram all in aid of awareness for #gamingforAS

The National Axial spondyloarthritis Society (NASS) are running a gaming weekend to help raise funds/awareness of the disease. To find out more about the disease check out @nass_exercise or

Olà Podfans...

This week on the podcast, we review the PS Vita non-handheld. Sort of. In a way... The little known Playstation TV lands on the shores of Living La Vita Loca and Rich spends some time telling us all about it and its capabilities. Fazz starts saving up for one immediately. Rich also reviews Muramasa Rebirth for the Vita through the eyes of his PSTV.

Angry that we haven't talked handhelds this week? Well never fear... The Razer Kishi is here. Fazz tells us all about his new handheld toy for his phone and why you should probably buy one or its equivalent.

There's also a lot of quiche chat. Too much maybe? No of course not.
