You know, you’ve gotta stop bottling things up, dude. There’s no shame in just letting it come out every once in awhile, just letting those tears well up until they flow down your face and cleanse you right to the SOUL.

We make the choice to feel our feelings - as we discuss our top moments in gaming that have made us drop a tear (or indeed several)

Our 2nd series is here - and naturally it must start in the most obvious possible way, as we start as we mean to go on - with a frankly intolerable amount of references to Metal Gear!

We can only pray you'll forgive them in an episode directly about one of the games, so get ready to meet the president-pussy grabber, to need some scissors, and travel naked through the colon.

All things that we feel when looking back at our 'distinguished' Hall of Fame for our first series. We cast our eyes back over our rankings, our insane scores and the flimsy justifications for them. Just how much sorrow can three men feel in one sitting?

It was inevitable, really. With at least one of us unable to go five minutes without referring to Metal Gear, we were only ever going to be ending our first series with one game.

So, is old Hideo going to come through for us with some weird, charming, nonsensical, compelling, incoherent bullshit? Well, there's a reason he's called 'the man who delivers'!

A toot of cocaine before that big meeting. A belt of whiskey before your child's christening. A tab of LSD before sitting down to watch 'Cats' (2019). Life is constantly being improved by little helpers here and there - but which little helpers, or 'powering-ups', from gaming would we most like to have in our own lives?

Happy birthday, Mario! Yes, as the title declares, superb Mario is now 64 years old, and much like Tom Cruise in a Mission: Impossible movie, he’s still throwing himself around with the reckless abandon of a 20 year old.

Join us as we discuss one of the most important video games of all time and prepare yourself for some truly preposterous scoring on the part of Sam, the new wildcard.

Let's face it - sometimes someone does something, says something, something so outrageous, so beyond the pale, so unnacceptable, that your only recourse is to give them a good hard public slap. Just so they know that that shit is not cricket. 

So join us, as we ready up our strikin' palm, and let you know which game characters are most cruising for a very public bruising.

Goddamn, get ready to go on a journey with this one, dear listener. Two of the hosts of this podcast are sane, rational men willing to have normal responses to things they encounter. But only one is able to stake out the position of describing encountering a game that he has come to love dearly that he also considers to be almost unplayable.

Join us - and reveal the maniac in our midst.

Let's be honest, games have made us all do some terrible things in our time, both inside of them...and sadly sometimes outside of them. So join us, dear listener, as we turn over the rock and peer into the abyss of wriggling, crawling indignities and ask - what is the worst thing a game has ever made us do?
