- Ep 36: The Podcast Rifts and Acrimony Begin
Episode 36! It's here! You can't stop it! We did it already! And it's a news one!
Sofie tells us about Xbox's embarassing climbdown, Ed gives us a deep-dive into Build A Rocket Boy's spiral of madness (and more updates on The Benz), and Alex regrets to inform you that Halo's music is now racist. Meanwhile, resentments build among the co-hosts leading to the inevitable leftist splits. Exciting!
And of course, games chat next week!

50 min - Ep 35: London Has Fallen - To Fascism?!
Episode 35 is here whether we like it or not. It's the situation now, we can't change it and must simply adapt to the new normal. But our lovely co-hosts are here to talk games into your waiting ears and make the transition to the new world a bit smoother.
Alex explores a depressingly prescient fascist London in Watch Dogs: Legion, Ed ingests Alan Wake (more like Alan Woke amirite?) and Sofie basks in laser-targeted nostalgia in Retro Rewind.
Next week, we're back on the news!

1 hr 22 min - Ep 34: Despite The Clear Instructions, I Did Starve
Episode 34 emerges over the horizon, shambling and heaving. But we whip it into shape, turning it into a lean, sleek episode, ready to be crammed into the holes on the side of your head.
This time, Ed updates us on Stop Killing Games, Sofie announces an unlikely ally against the prudish payment processors, and Alex rants about the Triple I Initiative. You'll like this one!
And of course, next week we'll have three delectable games for your listening anticipation. See (hear?) you then!

55 min - Ep 33: "Hooverville" Is A Simpsons-ass Sounding Name
It's episode 33! Like Expedition 33! Remember that? Clobbers? Crazy days, right?
Reminiscing aside, we have a great episode this week. A games one as well! Ed waxes rhapsodical about Dark Souls 2: The Second One, and Alex causes an eruption in questionable accents by talking about Mafia: Definitive Edition. Meanwhile, Sofie languidly comments on it all, like she's on a chaise lounge or something.
As always (now), news next week!

1 hr 17 min - Ep 32: We're All Claviculalogists Now
NOTICE: This episode originally went out with a small (and embarassing!) editing error where Sofie's voice was only on the right speaker. This has been fixed, so if you replay/download the episode this should be sorted! Apologies!
Hello, and welcome to episode thirty-two! Like the Commodore CD32! And it's a news one!
Alex (and the others) talk at some length about the suspiciously-timed news about DLSS5 - get ready to get inappropriately glammed up! But then we follow up with Sofie on PS5 price hikes and Ed on Fortnite firing an absurd number of people. At least it's better news than the world's more generally!
And of course, see you next week for games chat.

1 hr 7 min - Ep 31: We'll Never Let "Broho" Die
Episode 31 arrives, and it's a games one - Sofie gets Kojima-pilled from finishing Death Stranding, Alex gets super-relevant with Resident Evil 9, er, 7, and Ed thrills with Assassins' Creed Brotherhood (or Broho if you're freaky). The wheel keeps turning, and we'll keep breaking it.
Join us next week for some (annoyingly long delayed) news!

1 hr 26 min - Ep 30: All Will Rise Against Genocide ft. Meghna Jayanth!
Episode 30 has dawned, and it's a banger: we have a guest! Today we welcome the unsurpassed Meghna Jayanth! The fabled writer of 80 Days, Sable and of course Thirsty Suitors joins us to discuss her upcoming game All Will Rise. But more pertinently (because this is a news episode!) she tells us about how her studio Speculative Agency have courageously broken a contract with Microsoft because of their support for genocide, and proscription by BDS.
But it's still a news episode, so Ed tells us about Xbox's upcoming console plans (which for obvious reasons we don't think you should buy!) and Sofie updates us on accusations of treachery at the developer of the ill-fated Mindseye. It's a big one! And games next week!
Back All Will Rise on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speculativeagency/all-will-rise
And play the demo (and wishlist) on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3165340/All_Will_Rise/

1 hr 3 min - Ep 29: Just In Case You Don't Get It, Right, This Is About Capitalism
Welcome to episode 29! They haven't stopped us yet. And it's a games one! Ed celebrates the officially established working class hero in the original Crash Bandicoot, Sofie continues to trudge across America in Death Stranding, and Alex embraces millennial cringe in Donut County.
News next week, plus an exciting guest!

1 hr 10 min - Ep 28: More Exciting Developments in Xbox's Spiral of Decline
Episode 28 of the New Podcast Order is here, and we're back on a news one. And what news - Ed's telling us all about Xbox's bigwigs dramatically quitting and what that might tell us about the company's seeming inexorable decline. Meanwhile, Alex discusses the sad end of the remake supremos, Bluepoint.
We're talking games next week - see you then!

1 hr 2 min - Ep 27: They Literally Don't Give A Flying Flip
The New Podcast Order continues, and we're back talking about the games we've been playing - and you can't stop us! Alex indulges in some (now already passé, according to recent news events) Latin American adventurism in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Ed re-enters the comforting waters of the cyberrealm in Journey of the Gods. and Sofie fantasises about working for Amazon in Death Stranding. It's a good one!
We'll see you again next week to finally talk about all the news that was immediately announced after we recorded our last news ep!
