Grab your gleep-glorp, engage the neutraxaliser and get ready to do battle - for the glory of the Tekkens!

Oh, heyyyy there. Be careful with this one, listeners. Let’s be honest, people love the podcast, they say it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to them. But if we hear one thing again and again about the pod, it’s that it’s not quite SEXY enough! Now, it’s pretty sexy. But is it SEXY enough? If even one person called it into question, we’d have to do something, and we have - by spending a whole episode letting down our families, our loved ones and indeed ourselves, as we try and get to the bottom of the eternal question - WHO is the sexiest non-human in video games?

Ah, the good old days! When men were men and CEOs tested their child’s business acumen by throwing them off cliffs. When you could put on a fighting tournament and there were none of these snowflakes complaining about fairness, bleating about ‘what do you mean I have to fight a robot man’ or ‘wait, that other robot man has a sword’.

Join us, won’t you, as we return to those halcyon days of the late nineties and plunge into the richest Game World that we’ve yet encountered

He’s the hero we deserve, but not the hero we need. More immediately recognisable than Mickey Mouse. Alleged gorilla jailer. Eternal simp. Endless fountain of optimism and excitement…or is he? Simply put, when we peek behind his constant whooping and hollering, his somewhat fixed grin, his seemingly heroic desire to rid the world of evil, what do we find? 

To be frank, is Mario happy?

This episode has it all, Nintendo devotees, Nintendo sceptics, and one man’s quest to deal with the terror of lifting up a rock and finding a tiny, but very alive, screeching leaf man who offers you his…poo?

Want to learn more about who the hell we are? How do we know each other? Why are we doing this? What year is it?

Find the answer to possibly some of these questions as we begin our first Be Over mini episode, where we break format from our usual ranking and have a more general or hypothetical gaming discussion. This time - if we had a gun to our heads (harpoon or otherwise), what console would we save to comfort and entertain us during the inevitable human v. robots war?

Zombehs! And other such things.

Yes, we’re jetting back to 1996 on this occasion to look back at the original and most mansion set-Resident Evil game, ‘Resident Evil’. Who will inherit the mansion? Will Colonel Plum do himself a murder with a candlestick? Does Jill become The Master of Unlocking our hearts?

Find out the answer to none of these questions and more - as we get into the timecopter and travel to the outskirts of Racoon City

For our first episode, we simply HAD to look back at the PS1 classic ‘Metal Gear Solid’ (1998) - but please remember, this is a sneaking mission.
