In a rather spooky form of clairvoyance in last weeks show, it turns out that the DayZ standalone has been released! Should you play it? Is it worth £20 for the beta sign-up? Are there any friendlies in Cherno? You'll just have to have a listen to find out.

Music this week from The Wolf Among us.

The #POSpinball winner this week was @4nd with a score of 55 million in The Fear Itself. He has chosen Star Wars: Darth Vadar as the table for this week. Use the above hashtag when posting a screenshot for your chance at eternal glory.

Make sure you keep an eye out on that official Twitter handle as there may be some fun announcements this week.

A more sedate show this week, we bounce our balls in Peggle 2, cry to the heavens with Battlefield 4 and don't really get it with Brothers. The year might be drawing to a close but we've still got plenty to do so watch this space.

The #POSpinball challenge had a worthy winner this week with Martin Hindley topping 100 million in The Avengers table. The table for this week is The Fear Itself. Anyone can join in on any platform, to be counted just tweet a screenshot using #POSpinball for your chance at immortal glory.

iTunes ratings will be massively appreciated as we're printing them out to form a love shrine.

We try and keep the Wolf from the door this week only to find he is among us. Matt returns with guile, putting us all in a bit of a funny mood. We bend reality in The Stanley Parable, bemoan our fate in BF4 and travel to infinite worlds in Starbound.

#POSpinball: The winner this week was Smidgey87 with 91 million. This week's table is The Avengers. Post a screenshot of your highest score on Twitter using #POSpinball for your chance of eternal glory.

Music this week from Starbound

iTunes ratings will bag you a photo of a crooked member.

Ladyboys, shiny toys and pinball joy. Coming at you from glamorous Bangkok, the capital of China, we talk all things PS4, Battlefield 4 is still sitting ugly and we unveil the POSpinball challenge & take on World War Hulk.

Anyone is free to join on any platform. The table for this week is Infinity Gauntlet, simply achieve a bragworthy score and take a screenshot/photo and tweet using #POSpinball for your chance at eternal glory. The highest score achieved picks the table for next week.

Congratulations to Phil (PainJunkie666) for scoring 133 million in World War Hulk this week.

iTunes ratings will be rewarded with a pinball ramp being named in your honour.

Boners talk, Thomas walks and Scribblenauts. We're joined by show regular Mr Roger Harris as he discusses life with the Xbox One. Ant openly weeps at the disappointing X: Rebirth, Dan enjoys a silent gobble and The Mohan likes a good portrait.

Music this week from Dead Rising 3.

iTunes ratings will score you a date with Rebekah Brooks.

Like the mighty Lazarus, Maffew returns to us once again before swanning off to Asia for an unannounced procedure. Ant tries to keep the gang together in Survivor Squad, Chris is creeping around in Spinter Cell: Blacklist and Dan is the Law (of hair cuts).

The UnFounded Clan which Matt mentions at the end of the show can be found at http://unfounded.enjin.com Tell 'em The Pile of Shame fellas sent you.

iTunes ratings will be rewarded with a copy of Irritum courtesy of Mr BlueWolf :D

Confusing baths, the rally's path and a Teste's wrath. We all find out that tangents are the true way to transcendence, you should be a thug in the kitchen and there's always more games in that Pile of Shame.

Music this week from Dishonored and Deus Ex: HR.

iTunes ratings will get you a bath with the good Doctor.

Electronic Joy, a survival ploy and Battlefield toys. Dr Dan straps on his fatigues to become medic Dan in Battlefield 4, Chris has trouble swapping his arse for his elbow in The Swapper and Ant is reminded of a Hitchhikers Guide through The Walking Dead.

Music this week from Electronic Super Joy and Silence!

We pick some Pile of Shame games for each other this week including Dishonoured, The Walking Dead and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Catch up with us in a few weeks to see how it went.

iTunes ratings will secure a fisting from Norman Lamont.

Racist bells, shoes that sell and Ursa smells. With special guests Alex Young and Neil Taylor we have a bit of a natter about Dota2 (only a little bit) and a chinwag about Dark Souls 2 (just a smidge).

The Doctor's in the house with the competition answer we've all been waiting for and Ant is very angry about shoes.

iTunes ratings will be rewarded with your own racism bell.

Friend of the show Chris Cook (aka Bluewolf, Roger Harris and Cookie) joins a subdued Mohan and Ant. Last Wednesday Mr Cook was the first to break the story that PS4 launch title has been delayed to 2014.

We have a leisurely natter about how the story broke, what effects it had and about enthusiast gaming journalism in general.

You can find Chris' other work at www.TheSameCoin.co.uk. 

You can also still enter the competition in association with The Same Coin to win a copy of Irritum. Simply tweet using hashtag #POSTSC with the answer to the following question:

How many ventricles does the human brain have? (Tip: its less than 5 and more than 3)

You've 2 days to enter, so hurry!
