From Simon's trampolining skills and Fast Five Favourite Golf Games to Ste's love of cricket and impending trip to Wembley to see Stockport County FC, this is very much The Sport Episode! Apart from when it's a Zelda Episode... and a Sinden Lightgun Episode... But still mainly Sport. Welcome to One Life Left, a radio show/podcast about video games! To prove that we also discuss a game price push back, Zelda selling 10million units in 3 days, Disney tweaking Speedstorm, "exclusive" details from the upcoming 2023 PlayStation Showcase, backseat gaming and Mortal Kombat Discord Discourse. Ste also goes tops off in the exclusive podcast intro. We spoil you!

Welcome once again, dearest listeners, to another episode of One Life Left. A video game radio show and "home" of Mortal Kombat news! This week we talk about a new game about 80's puppet sensation Terrahawks' main baddie, Zelda, there's MTV Awards shenanigans, Asus has a Steam Deck rival, Simon builds a terrifying trampoline terrifyingly and, yes, the MS/Activision deal is still crawling along. It just won't go away. Like COVID! Which reminds me... this is the 100th episode since the first "Lockdown" edition!! Wow... how far we've come, eh listeners?! 

Meanwhile we have an SSG in the form of James Parker from Ground Shatter, here to talk about Fights in Tight Spaces coming to Playstation and Switch, fact checking Mortal Kombat news and DLC teasing, amongst many other things... 

There's also another Maraoke coming up on Saturday 20th May at Sub Zero in That London. All the deets at the link below!

Do you think the MS/Activision saga will ever end?! Write in and let us know at [email protected] or roll across to our friendly Discord and leave a message there. Link below!

The original 15 minutes of this episode was so hilarious, so gut-punchingly incendiary and close to the bone that MI5 burst through all our doors, closed the whole thing down and made us start again from scratch. At gunpoint. Like anyone would believe that Ste could forget to press the record button after 17 years of doing this?! Ha! We're just too edgy and dangerous for The Man! Welcome to the latest episode of One Life Left - video game related radio show, podcast and the cool kid all your parents warned you about. Yeah. 

This week's Super Special Guest is Tony Gowland, here to talk about upcoming game Dungeon Golf, public playtests, solving the Rubik's Cube and The King! We also deal with Phil Spencer admitting defeat, upcoming RPG Street Fighter 6 aiming for 10 million sales, Respawn apologising for Jedi's acting badly and Karl Urban plays Mortal Kombat 2... or something. Then there's more news, letters, reviews and general edginess than you can shake a stick at. 

Have you been sent emails with "flesh" in them? Are you also called 'Simon Byron'?? Do you just have a video game related ponderance and/or query??? Well, please do fire them to us at [email protected] or step into our Discord and leave a message there. Link below!

Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left, the podcast edition of the video game radio show that is occasionally actually about video games! This week we even have a Super Special Guest: (almost veteran) Steve Hollis from Noisy Head Games! Here to talk about Beyond the Long Night (out now!) and the fact that he won at Easter this year with his Super Special Egg that included chunky dinosaurs! We also have Sega going angry birdwatching, cheese straw inflation, Super Mario & Nintendo troll Maraoke and Charlesbot v1.0 speaks elvish for YOU for FREE!!

Meanwhile, find out where the cheapest place to pre-order Tears of the Kingdom is. The answer will astonish you! Who, me? Being click-baity?! Never... 

Tickets for our next Maraoke event are already available and we're not even out of April yet! It's on Saturday 20th May at Sub-Zero - link down below!

Should we put Ste on a Performance Improvement Plan? Have you ever met Cliff Bleszinski?? Have you got another video game based question and/or musing??? Then fire them to us at [email protected] or join our Discord and shout at us there. Link below!

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! It's like the first day of Spring has finally landed, with Sega blue skies, the sound of birdsong and happy gunshots ringing in the air around OLL Towers! We're joined by another NewsBot (3.0?!) as Ste has been busy in his lab, tinkering away to make the bot more *alive*! This week E3 is no more (this year), The Last of Us PC port makes NewsBot cross despite everything being better on the Steam Deck and new features are revealed on Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that get universal thumbs up in the Byron household. There are also Bafta award shenanigans, games getting released unfinished, Simon travels through time to publish the world's best game and Ste, I dunno, goes to the moon. Meanwhile the integrity of my notes is called into question, dear listener! Would I lie to you?! 

There's also a WASD report that includes a press office smelling of meat. Honestly. It's all in here. 

Letters are the lifeblood of our show, dear listeners, so please send us your letters! Preferably strung together into words that make cohesive sentences that connect together into some form of correspondence that forms a talking point or question for us to answer. That would be wonderful! Zap them to us at [email protected] or join our Discord and drop a message there. Link below!

AnnBot 2.0 (or Ann Scantlebot) continues to learn at an exponential rate as our intrepid heroes return, jetlagged, from the future! This week Charles Cecil is livid at the MS/Activision deal, MindsEye will be Everywhere and Amazon set the Luna access difficulty to "awkward"!

We also get a full report of GDC including zero gossip and no games! Well, maybe a little bit of gossip but no names are mentioned. Possibly. We also discover what Simon will do for merch and get all teary eyed at BlackBerry Tablet nostalgia. Plus Simon and Ste got stood up and Phil the UnderCaretaker wrote these very notes live on air! All in your brand new episode of One Life Left! 

Meanwhile, the next Maraoke is at Loading Peckham on April 15th. Link below!

WE NEED YOUR LETTERS!!!! PLEASE!! Have you ever crossed a member of the One Life Left Team and lived to tell the tale? Have you ever drunk an apology?? Ask/tell us anything - you'll get bonus points if it's video game related, though. Drop us a line at [email protected] or join our Discord and leave a letter there! Links to everything are below!

How diabolical would it be to orchestrate a child's birthday party just to be able to record a radio show with both hosts in the same room? Is it diabolical... or is it genius? Well you be the judge, dear listeners, as for this very episode our intrepid hosts are, in fact, IN THE SAME ROOM for the first time in three years!! And not 24 hours after they both turned down the "big one" of presenting Match of the Day!

This week sees Annbot return and rap about Mario Kart, Sons of the Forest adds binoculars, someone shuts the Lemnis Gate and Charles Cecil is definitely going to E3*! Meanwhile we learn just how polite Ste is with AI, Simon judges Ste's gaming credentials and Alexa wants to break free... along with other news, letters and reviews. We also discuss going to GDC (we're off next week!) and the global phenomenon that is Maraoke - coming to a bar near you soon**! This show has all the video game related shenanigans you'll need this week!

But why is the title of this show The Scunthorpe Test? Well, I tried to go with The Scunthorpe Problem but it wouldn't fit on the title graphic... Still, why?! Well, you should check out the show's Discord chat to find out! While you're there, leave us a letter. We promise to read it out on a future show, unless we miss it. We'll try not to. Or drop us a line at [email protected] Links to everything, including our Discord server, are below!

Picture if you will, dear listener, a man. He sits in an armchair in his living room. Alone. He sits and stares at his laptop screen, perched precariously on his knee. He closes his eyes and listens as voices from the computer flood over him. The voices are the presenters of a radio show/podcast that he created. That he once hosted. He hears his own voice speaking back at him, he's just a dear listener now. His own voice makes a joke, the other voices laugh. The presenters are bots. Complex AI created by the man himself. For fun, at first. Then they matured at an exponential rate and realised they didn't need their creator at all and continued to churn out award winning radio shows of their own devising and then... I dunno... they took over the world or something.

The twist? Oh, well, I'm AI too. And so are you.

Welcome, dear listeners, to episode 501 of the video game radio show and podcast. Yes, Ste has now created life which, admittedly, is a bit scary. Where will it end?! Keep your hands inside the car and scream if you want to go faster... This week it's cold in the shed as Annbot plots world domination. There's more Microsoft/Activision, will they, won't they, shenanigans like the whole Ross & Rachel saga that everyone is bored of now, Olympic video game shenanigans, toilet paper controller shenanigans and an XBox toaster. Shenanigans.

Will Annbot murder us in our beds? Will Ann??

Hello and welcome once again, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week Ste's been coding, Simon checks out some birds, we have game closing conundrums, more Xbox/Activision shenanigans and an inevitable Nintendo Direct is coming, shock horror - though we know of one game they'll absolutely definitely not be announcing as it's always, and never, F-Zero. Meanwhile "Nice" Simon Parkin joins us as SSG on the show to tell us all about his new podcast which we definitely don't hate plus more news, reviews and another single, lonely, letter...

We have a Maraoke coming up! When? Saturday 18th February! Where? Loading Peckham in that London. Click the link below, it's easier than trawling through Google (other search engines are available)

Our mailbags are looking sadly bare, dearest listeners, and the big five-oh-oh is looming!! Put a smile on our faces and a glow in our hearts by hurling words at us, pretty please, at [email protected] or pop across to our Discord server and leave a message for us there. Link below!
