This week Tom, Craig and Pip are joined by Polygon’s Emily Gera to celebrate Pip’s transformation into a superstar indie game developer following her discovery of Puzzlescript.

In our Game City special Cara, Tom and Pip are joined by Anna Marsh, Elsa Bartley and Alex Roberts to talk about the highlights of the festival while nursing a terrible hangover.

In this week’s thrilling installment of the Not a Game podcast, we’re joined by a young up and coming journalist called Alec Meer. He runs a website called Rock Paper Shotgun. You’ve probably never heard of it. Alec tells us all about The Wolf Among Us, Tom fails to explain The Stanley Parable, Cara joygasms over Castles in the sky and Pip terrifies us all by explaining how she keeps a trophy from every man she has ever killed. AND IN THE GAME.

This week Pip, Tom and Craig are joined by substitute scot Keza MacDonald to talk about Beyond, GTA Online, Pokemon and the Stanley Parable demo, which is definitely about to start any minute now, just sit quietly for twenty minutes and we’ll get it ready.

Welcome to episode 11, our extra long tabletop special. We invited Paul Dean of Shut Up Show to join us in a discussion of the wonderful world of board games, card games and pen and paper RPGs. Innumerable games are discussed including Lady Blackbird, Apocalypse World, Trains (?!), Cards Against Humanity, Citadels, The Resistance and many more.

It's episode ten and we're celebrating in style, by becoming seriously ill. Pip and Cara both have the Eurogamer flu, so we called on mysterious stranger Craig Lager to join us, you remember Craig, right? No, we don't either. This episode is dedicated to the many, many cool indie games on show at the Eurogamer expo

This week Tom, Pip and Cara are joined by Jenn Frank to talk about Boobjam, Bioshock Infinite, the many bras of Dishonored GTA V and problematic art.

In our spooky horror game special, recorded on Friday the 13th, Cara and Craig are struck down by an evil curse so Pip and Tom are joined by Laura Rich and Ben Barrett to talk about Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Outlast, Asylum Jam and Dead Space. Then we top it all off with our best scary anecdotes and chat about crates for ten whole minutes because video games.

Cara can’t be with us this week but her disembodied spirit haunts the podcast nonetheless. Instead Pip, Tom and Craig are joined by USGamer’s Cassandra Khaw to talk about David Cage’s BAFTA presentation, the ethics of Kickstarter, the Dark Souls community and Tom’s weird fan fictiony Crusader Kings 2 game. Plus we finally get around to answering some reader questions!

This is what the second take of a podcast sounds like. After our planned session on horror games with Laura Rich failed to record (we'll try again in the future) Cara, Pip and Tom got together for a hastily recorded emergency backup podcast. In it we talk about gaming romances and Pip's Fable 2 Town Crier harem, Hate Plus and why Gordon Freeman should have been genderless and the virtues of patience in games. Then Cara and Tom talk about sex again, because they can't help themselves. Sorry about the awful audio quality, it won't happen again.
