Sound-bytes are our shorter episodes about what we’ve been up to recently. We were recording a main show episode with Toni, and she stuck around for Sound-byte to tell us what she thought of Fez on the Nintendo Switch.

Given that Death Stranding was one of Sefran's games of the decade and he raved about it so much, it was always going to be on Jalada's list to play. So in this episode, now Jalada has completed it, we discuss (with some spoilers) how we both feel about it.

Sound-bytes are our shorter episodes about what we’ve been up to recently. This time we discuss a couple of news stories; the latest reveals from Epic v. Apple, and the new changes & Titanfall-themed content for Apex Legends.

Games we talk about:

• DeviousMUD/Runescape
• Ragnarok Online
• EVE Online
• Phantasy Star Online
• Guild Wars
• Final Fantasy XIV

Sound-bytes are our shorter episodes about what we’ve been up to recently. Jalada has been playing the Elite Dangerous Odyssey Alpha (surprised?) and gives us his initial thoughts.

We're continuing our anime-themed Octal FM series! Sefran has watched anime for most of his life, but Jalada has watched almost none. We're changing that. This time, Jalada has been watching Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
