Press To Continue

A new summer, a new season, a new format, a new quest.

Stranded on a hostile planet, with sod all oxygen, the Press to Continue trio has begun a new quest - To live forever at the centre of the universe.

For Season 4 - we are taking the podcast in a new direction, reforging our love (and hate) for No Man's Sky and bringing you, the loyal listener along for the ride.

It's a new challenge for us, so it might take a while to get into the swing of playing and recording simultaneously, so please bear with us! In this episode, we discuss if fake things can do actual harm, which is a spicier topic than it sounds...

Thanks for listening in on this month's episode, see you next time fellow bum fan enjoyers.

Ahola Press To Continue fans.

This month we have the best and the worst, the good and the bad, the delicious and the rancid, the shiny and the stinky.

Breath of the Wild 2 Link Boogaloo, aka Tears of the Kingdom forms one half of the discussion this week, with Sam fully on the hype train.

At the other end of the scale, the smelly mess that is LOTR: Gollum, Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life, and other delicacies.  

Connor also has more gripes, surprise surprise, about his PC.  

Thanks for listening in on this month's episode, see you next time fellow bum fan enjoyers.

Hail to the King! Well, not that one. 

In this episode, we throw down the gauntlet, and call out the AAA gaming industry for all their stinky practices - how will they ever recover from this most mortal of blows?

From Redfall to Fallout 76, and others, we explore why AAA games just seem to suck, and whether is it really worth your time getting hyped up for any of them these days?

Also, if you had to pick a champion to fight your battle, who would you pick?

Thanks for listening in on this month's episode, see you next time fellow serfs.

Happy Easter, Passover, Ramadan, Chocolate Egg Day, or whatever holiday you celebrate on this bank holiday weekend!

We choose to celebrate with a lively discussion on our favourite Easter Eggs of all time, and we don't mean Cadbury's WAHEY.

Fallout, Pokemon, Time Splitters, Halo, GTA - all the favourites are here in this episode, looking for the fun hidden details, and learning about some we never realised were there.

Zak also recalls all of the Halo 3 Skulls of the top of his head, so make sure you are sat down and comfortable for this one. 

Thanks for listening in on this month's episode, see you next time rascals.

In this episode, we discuss whether you can ever truly separate content from its creator. Can you ethically enjoy content made by someone with controversial views? It's a big question, so we enlisted a long-term listener of the podcast (and family member) Campbell to chat about his playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy. 

We also discuss Atomic Heart, Rick and Morty, and even a drop of Ye in answering that question.

It's worth noting, talking about these pieces of content and in places acknowledging their value as content does not mean we agree with the views of their creators.

Thanks for listening in on this serious topic, handled badly as always.

Welcome, fine listener.

Once again, we come to you without a plan, but dammit we've got a passion for this podcast so this one is coming straight off the piste, off the cuff - prepare yourself for some boomer-level opinions, and top chat.

For those who care about the games, games mentioned this month include Vermintide 2 and Deep Rock Galatic. That being said, we know you are really here for the laundry content, which we also cover this week.

Thank you for continuing to listen to this podcast, can't say we know why you do, but we appreciate your continued patience.

Hey Gang,

It's that time of year again, so get yourself that cup of cocoa, gather around the fireplace, and enjoy our festive special. 

The celebrations coincide with some new games we have been playing, so there was a lot to discuss in this bumper episode, but as always it is the easy-going chitchat we love to make, and hope you love listening too.

Connor has his teeth deep into the new Call of Duty, Santa brought Sam a PS5, and Zak has his feet up, basking in the warm glow of cozy gaming.

More to come in the new year! We will be enacting our plans for more listener engagement, and all the fun things we talked about in the last episode.

Lots of festive love, wishing you a fantastic 2023, we hope to see you there!

Welcome back! Its Season 3 - How mad is that?

In this episode, we talk meta! About the podcast, what we want it to be, some ideas for the future (some good, some bad), and how you can get involved.

We also talk about games of course, with Connor going off-piste with some wacky point and click, while Zak and Sam ponder table top RPGs.

We can't wait to go around again, we love doing this podcast, and we love you, dear listener - come get stuck in with us!

Journeying over land and sea, by plane, by train, and by car, our intrepid hosts - after two years of podcasting - all finally make it to the same room. It seemed only fitting for our Season 2 finale, right? Well some of us forgot it was the finale.

In this latest installment of babbling, we talk leaks. Is there such a thing as an ethical leak - what does ethical even mean?  

We also talk jobs, pokemon, life, Rick and Morty, and the usual insane chit-chat, but this episode is weirdly high-brow and contains very few (for us) dick jokes. I am sure that had nothing to do with our new producer being sat in the room with us at all. 

Seems absolutely barmy to be finishing another season, but we have had a smashing time, and will certainly be back next month to kick off season 3 - hope to see you there.

Love to the poddy fans,

In this latest quest, our adventurers happen across a new companion, Izzy.

Izzy joins the podcast for this special episode to tell us about her gaming history, how it impacted her life, and how it played an important part in her recovery from addiction.

And after such a serious discussion, the rag-tag band of presenters argues pointlessly over whether they would use a mouse and keyboard, or a controller for the rest of their lives if they had to choose.

A very special thank you to Izzy for joining us in this episode and being so open about her journey with us.

As always, do send in your suggestions, your comments, and your memes, we love to see them and regularly feature community content on the poddy
