Listen Later

This weeks hosts: Eoin, Shane, Donogh and Gavin.

This week, the party discuss.....THINGS. Specifically things that aren’t games that we think gamers might like to read, watch, listen to, or otherwise experience. Apologies for the sound imbalance, a switch was thrown out of alignment. Show Notes:
  • 01:40 The Expanse series
  • 07:50 The Atomic Rocket website
  • 09:00 Dr. Jackson Crawford, The Cowboy Viking
  • 11:35 The Salmon Leap, the infamous technique of the Irish mythological ‘Hero’, Cú Chulainn.
  • 14:19 Band of Brothers (The Book)
  • 15:07 Molten Sulfur
  • 16:07 Cake Law
  • 16:25 The Expeditionary Force books
  • 17:30 This premise also slightly reminds me of the Wraith Squadron books from the old Star Wars Expanded Universe, the only part of the EU I missed after Disney wisely flushed it all away.
  • 19:47 This was once the hieght of childrens entertainment
  • 20:25 Skullduggery Pleasant
  • 24:20 I didn't just imagine them! But I still can’t find anything about the book starring mice who came from space to save the mice of earth, and somehow spoke better gaelic than the irish mice. Listeners, if you remember this, please prove I’m not crazy.
