As One Life Left moves closer to its videogame stand-up comedy debut, the team are joined by Actual Real Life Comic Catie Wilkins, who explains to the team what being on stage under pressure to be funny is really like. Turns out it's genuinely no laughing matter.

Ulp. Also this episode (which is the last before the team lose the right to call themselves OFFICIAL BEST BROADCASTERS, incidentally):

++ Poetry from Craig The Rage, new music from the doyouinverts, Derek Williams issues some wisdom from his market stall and Dr Avatar receives another patient

++ Lots of Twitter jokes and Ann receives a suggestion for a feature from a listener. More letters, please, to [email protected]

++ News, gossip and reviews. Ste reviews Solitaire again. IT HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT WEEK

Music this episode from minusbaby, downstate and Daemon Hatfield.

Join us next Monday (or Thursday for the podcast) when we'll be joined by another comical studio guest. Write and tweet in the meantime. Oh, and if you do something PARTICULARLY nice / helpful we'll add you to our One Life Left Twitter Listeners list, which is a terribly desirable badge of honour, right?

See you soon!

No special studio guest this episode which means the One Life Left team can forgo politeness and professionalism and just be themselves. What does THAT mean? Pointless pop culture chat, fractious behaviour and the smallest bits of videogame gossip / insight, apparently. It's episode 11!

(Insight? Yes, OK, let's go with that and see if anyone calls us out.)

Also in Episode 11:

++ ALL NEW EX EX EX EXCLUSIVE material from The Doyouinverts! 

++ News on OLL's half-hearted Resonance co

++ A robot comedian

Also music from Copy, L-Tron and Electric Children.

Tickets are now SOLD OUT for the preview show at The Blue Posts on the 23rd. If you want to attend your best shot is to email the address in the show and we'll put you on a waiting list. If you turn up we'll do our best to squeeze you in the room but no guarantees. You can totally drink with us afterwards, though. 

Please do add us on Twitter, tell people about the show and generally perform the services of the marketing budget we wish we had. 

OH. And send us letters! We love your letters.

See you next Monday,

Team OLL

Let's put videogames to one side for a moment, as if we didn't do that enough already. With under four weeks to go until the One Life Left team's latest public humiliation it's time to get serious. About comedy. 

With that in mind, please welcome Radio 4 comedy producer and very special guest Tilusha to the studio.

Also:

++ Videogame features, including Derek Williams!

++ Chiptune music, including tracks by IAYD and Massive Until Morning!

++ Reviews, previews and general gossip.

If that seems vague that's because we recorded this six days ago and every word I type here is another moment this isn't being podcast. SORRY.

Email us some letters. Book tickets for our preview show on the 23rd in London. Add us on Twitter. Do all those kinds of things! Yes! And again, sorry for the podcast delay, we were too busy negotiating a new contract with Resonance. We're demanding a shed! They're demanding professionalism. We'll work something out.

Stop us if you've heard this one before, but musical guests are like buses. You don't have one for 128 episodes and then two come along at once. What? You've heard if before? And it doesn't really work as a joke? Oh God.

No worries, still plenty of time. 

On this week's show:

++ One Life Left welcomes 8-bit superstars Sabrepulse and Natty to the studio. They chat! They bleep! They play the hits!

++ One Life Left announces a SECRET SPECIAL EVENT for London listeners (or those dedicated / foolish enough to travel down on the 23rd). Listen for details.

++ One Life Left talks about cricket.

Musical contributions include little's scale's brilliant Bitshifter cover, The Rapids by Fighter X and our studio guests. Share and enjoy.

See you Monday, live on 104.4 FM or podcast later in the week. Add us on Twitter! We'll tell you all our secrets, promise. 

Ste, Simon and Ann

In which, with their comedy gig still far enough away for the whole thing to seem funny, the team are joined by Curve Studios' Ed Fear for the usual mix of somewhat game-related stuff and nonsense.

Also in this episode:

++ Ann 'interrogates' Ed to find out some exclusive game news for the show

++ The return of Ann Art and all the sketchiness that entails

++ A brilliant new feature and instructions for audience participation

Music from the fabulous Henry Homesweet, Apricorn and Shirobon. 

Add us on Twitter / Facebook and try to listen to the live show later today (Monday) on 104.4FM in London or www.resonancefm.com elsewhere -- will try and get the podcast up earlier this week, too. Honestly.

Knock knock! Who's there? It's the One Life Left team, doing some early groundwork for their One Laugh Left comedy evening at Nottingham! The One Life Left team who? Exactly.

Don't worry, it gets better. A bit better.

Also in this episode: no, actually no idea about that, either. Since we recorded it a few weeks ago and it has been SOME TIME, you'll have to find out yourself and please, please accept my huge apologies this is late. First there was the whole ankle thing (possibly explained in this episode, I forget) and then our host was being all not-worky.

Ignore the warnings at the end of the show because they're out of date now. We will be back for real (and on a normal schedule) from next Monday. Letters, tweets and features to the usual address, please.

You can tell there's a problem from the very start. Only five episodes into the new season and the team have reverted to the old theme. Something's gone wrong. But what? Or who? And what happens next?

Find out in this week's exciting episode of (sometimes partially) videogame radio show One Life Left.

Also in #125:

++ A barely-thought-through pitch for a videogame is made and softly rejected

++ A challenge is set for next week's OLL (and there's a theme for the letter's section too)

++ It's difficult to remember, really. It was all a bit frantic

Music this episode from J8b!t and DEADBEATBLAST. And AN Other, too. Any help?

One Life Left is at The Big Chill this Saturday. I know, we're surprised, too. Find us at the Swap Meet area on the Friday and Saturday. 

As usual, follow us on Twitter, tell your friends, subscribe to the podcast and email us.

See you Monday for the last OLL for a few weeks.

"No Future!" sang some pop group, once, and maybe they were singing about OLL #124, where Wired.co.uk's News Editor Duncan Geere joins the team to talk about what happens next. What happens next? The same thing as last time, apparently, but in 3D!!!!! OMG.

Also on #124:

++ Ste begins the show in a bit of a mood and talks about videogames far too much

++ Ann promises to do an Ann Art for next week. You might have to remind her

++ Simon holds OLL's first ever live Twitter competition. You really should be following us

Music from Device, Coda + Cancel and -- apparently -- "Ant1", although I'm still struggling with that. All help appreciated.

You can also help us out by:

Telling you friends

Posting on forums

Following and tweeting about us

Sending us things in the post

Behaving pleasantly on public transport

See you on Monday!

This episode we're joined by Gamesbrief's Nicholas Lovell, who has just written a book on How To Publish A Game. Intrigued? Intimidated? Don't worry; highbrow discussion falls to lowbrow gossip pretty soon, including one especially salacious item involving Mark 'Unreal' Rein and a baby.

Also in episode #123, which we really should have done something special for but we didn't remember:

++ Ann learns something about Hello Games

++ Simon instigates a new Listener Recruitment Programme

++ Ste (eventually) recalls how alcohol brought about what might be the worst decision in One Life Left's history

Talking of which, Simon's at Nottingham Game City nights tomorrow, so if you have a moment go and see him.

Music in #123 from Anamanaguchi, Smiletron and Grilly. Please do tell your friends / blogs / followers / whatevers about One Life Left, because we depend on word of mouth for warmth and comfort. We'll be back live on Monday at 7pm, or you can wait for the podcast to come out on Thursday. 

See you then.

Team OLL
