Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the show that doesn't know when to quit!! This week we have PSN going down and some Sony customers over-reacting, Football Manager 2025 getting a red-card and some FM fans over-reacting, Troy Baker beating AI and... nobody over-reacting... I don't think...

Meanwhile, here's another reminder that ResonanceFM, our home on the radio waves, are running their annual fundraiser right now so please check out their fundraising page and help out, if at all possible: https://fundraiser.resonance.fm/ There will be a fundraising Maraoke event from us on Friday 14th March, more details to come... (unless they've already been posted on Bluesky by the time you're reading this...)

Let us try with all our might, dearest listeners, to get some momentum going with these letters! Keep them coming, please! Like in the "old" days when readers used to write to their favourite video games related magazine - Let us be your favourite/tolerated video games related radio show/podcast! Throw your letters to us at [email protected]. Or pop into our Discord and leave a letter for us on there. Link below!

TTFN,

This week the boys have been "down the darts" and "down the football" and generally leaning into their blokeyness in blokey ways but then it's all back to "normal" for another episode of the One Life Left radio show! (This is the podcast edition of the radio show that you're listening to, just in case you didn't know.)

This episode we have Simon being performance art and releasing TWO games this week, Ste has people sliding into his DMs, Multiversus is going, Nintendo tickets re-sale shenanigans, Microsoft doing alright for themselves according to PR and PS5 gets Forza! We also have the welcome return of Sega Badawi with the local news and ANOTHER OLL Nintendo Switch 2 "exclusive"!

Speaking of radio shows - Our beloved home, ResonanceFM, are currently having their fundraiser for 2025 so please check out their fundraising page and help out, if at all possible: https://fundraiser.resonance.fm/

We still have an upcoming Maraoke event in London (being run for "reasons" on a Steam Deck, apparently) on Saturday 8th Feb, tickets available HERE

Am I going to have to come around and chuck all your consoles/computers into the canal?! SEND US MORE LETTERS!!! Pretty please. Tell us what is going on! Who the hell is Claude?? Zap letters to us at [email protected]. Or join our Discord and join in the "fun" on there. Link below!

Welcome, dearest listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left RADIO SHOW because, first and foremost, it is a radio show on ResonanceFM, our faithful home since neolithic times. ResonanceFM are currently having their fundraiser for 2025 so please check out their fundraising page and help out, if at all possible: https://fundraiser.resonance.fm/

Meanwhile, on this week's episode, Ste's going to UKIE (maybe with magic tricks), Simon renamed the Northern Line (OK, just the one station), Sega want your deets, video game prices only going up, digital winning, Switch 2 - finally - and Video Game History Foundation do Good Stuff!! We also have our report from Pocket Gamer Connects, which includes a bad bouncer at The Piano Works, and EXCLUSIVELY reveal the Switch 2 release date. Maybe.

DO NOT FORGET - Simon has challenged all of you to a game of darts. Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough etc etc. Hop on to Discord and start trash talking*. PLUS there's that Maraoke in London on Saturday 8th Feb, tickets available HERE

Seriously we need more letters. Please. I'm going to have to start posting more stuff on social media about this, aren't I? For starters you could tell us which tube stations you would rename, in a video game stylee. Send your missives to us at [email protected]. Or join our Discord and leave a letter for us on there. Link below!

TTFN,

*Well, no, be nice or one of us will swing the ban hammer, most likely.

This week we start 2025 again because last week was just a practice run. There's Microsoft making more handheld noises, Ubisoft postpone Assassin's Creed Shadows again and is Half Life 3 on the horizon? We also "exclusively" reveal that the Switch 2 will be released on March 3rd which happens to be my birthday making the Switch 2 an ideal, if not perfect, birthday present, hint hint!

Meanwhile next week the boys are off to Pocket Gamer Connects in that London so, if you're there or thereabouts, hunt them down! Simon is also open to any and all challenges to his darts supremacy from all our listeners - give him a shout on our Discord server and a link to his magic dart board is in the review links below!

Join us as OLL hurtles towards it's 19th year, dearest listener, and for Simon's NYE tale of woe - a Kafkaesque Meta magnum opus if ever there was one! (Listeners on our Discord have already had a brief snippet but hear him tell the full story here without him using any F, S, B or C bombs!)

Meanwhile we also have a crazy number of Steam games in 2024, Atari teasing a new handheld, Rockstar have bins and Notch teasing Minecraft fans. There's also a date for the next Maraoke (Saturday 8th February, might have a link next week...) and Block Words hits iOS! And I've been saying "BLOCKWORDS" all this time, what a fool!

Feed us with your letters! They're what keep us alive!! Send us your 2026 games industry maxim suggestions!! We've got this! Do the thing! Send them to us at [email protected]. Or join our Discord and drop a letter in our mailbag channel over there. Link below!

Thought you'd heard the last from us in 2024, did ya?! Well, you were wrong! Santa's put you on the nice list so here's a bonus episode of OLL just for YOU. This episode was originally broadcast on September 24th this year on the Yogscast Twitch channel as part of Pickaxe Week and has a Super Special Guest in the form of Ozan from Perfectly Paranormal showing off their latest game: The Holy Gosh Darn. Amongst other things he also reveals some cheat codes for the game "exclusively" for OLL! It's the sort of thing you'd usually have to write in to GamesMaster for!!

Caveat: This episode was fully intended to be SEEN and, as such, there's probably a fair number of visual puns and general shenanigans that don't work as well in an audio podcast... Sorry! If you want to watch the full glorious technicolour video version then it's on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOPjt6j3sGE

Why not escape from the family and bad TV over the holidays and write us a letter for one of our future episodes?! Zap them to us at [email protected]. Or join our Discord and have a good ol' chinwag over there. Link below!

And, again - Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year from all at OLL Towers!

Hope you're full of festive cheer, dear listeners! We have a Santa's sack full of gaming related goodies for you this week. There's Game Awards bla bla bla, Balatro is still pronounced Balatro, more Game Awards bla bla bla, Ciri grows up, DBrand's cheeky Switch 2 "reveal", Funko Pop kill itch.io and Xbox get into darts! There's also loads of lovely letters to get through and, with a week to go before the big day, we also chuck a couple of gift ideas your way!

What cheese would you use for cheese sandwiches? Who owes Simon twenty quid?? Tell us who you think it is at [email protected]. Or join our Discord to keep in touch over the holiday break. Link below!

We hope you have a Merry Xmas, dear listeners, and here's wishing you all the very best for 2025!

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dearest listeners! This week we have Devolver delays, PS2 sells loads, Xbox fight Google, Slow Game Club and the Lego Bond we nearly got!!! Meanwhile should we be worried that Ste is seeing both his doctor and his dentist in the same week?!

There's only two more OLLs before Xmas!! Forget Santa and send us your Christmas letters instead!

This week there are flimsy cards, Simon turns 53, Sony attempt another handheld and shadows are important! There's also undercover "journalism" as Ste goes all Cook Report and stalks/hounds/illegally records/chats to (delete as appropriate) Keith Stuart at GaMaYo! Which is also where we had a great time and heard A codename for the Switch 2! But was it the correct codename?! Only time will tell...

Meanwhile Maraoke will be hitting the Jingle Jam stream on December 7th and don't forget the Maraoke Xmas Party which is on Friday 13th December at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington High St. Tickets are available NOW: https://maraoke.com/xmas2024

Before you ask - no, this is not an Xbox (Hi, Microsoft! Thought you might appreciate us playing along with your latest PR campaign! Send any payments/Xbox goodies to us via the usual email, OK? Ta!)

This week, dearest of listeners, we have Overcooked! revelations, Xbox do marketing (see above), Nintendo patrol the high seas for pirates (ah harr!), game "awards" and starter packs? Starter packs!! Yes please!

Meanwhile, why on earth is Simon's wife sending photos to Ste?!? Listen to find out!!

The Maraoke Xmas Party (Friday 13th December at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington High St) tickets are available NOW from here: https://maraoke.com/xmas2024
