The Character Unlock Podcast

It's a special day for us today. Celebrations all around.

We have managed to snag the legendary Dodgy Collie from the Last Save Loaded podcast to join us in talking our special brand of nensense for a couple of hours.

That's right, boys and girls; the one, the only, Colm Sheridan has joined hosts John Miller and Andrew Brooker to pull apart the last couple of weeks worth of stuff going on. But not until he's answered our now traditional five questions all our guests have to go through. 

New wise, we dot about from more Telltale stuff to Mocrosoft's proposed streaming service, X Cloud and chat around the houses about upcoming games and why we are all kinda underwhelmed by what's coming.

then a literal melting pot of Far Cry, Forza, Just Cause and more fill up our What We've Been Playing.

Join us again next time, but until then why not join us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

This week seems to be hiting a couple of sombre notes.

With the closing of Telltale Games and Capcom Vancouver dominating the news for the last week, it would be daft for our hosts not to talk about it.

Buit not all is bad. Hosts John Miller and Andrew Brooker get to muse over the soon to be hitting consoles Red Dead Redemption 2 and the genius invention of horse balls affected by the weather. And of course, stealth bears!

Elsewhere, John has played the latest FIFA and Brooker has needlessly suffered through two The X-Files games, and has mixed but mostly positive feeling on Spider-Man abd the opening episode of Life is Strange 2.

Join us again next time, but until then why not join us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

Was there ever any other game for us to talk about?

It's been teased and delayed and teased some more for more thsan two years and Insomniac Games' Spider-Man is finally here.

But this is too big a job for just two men to take on. So our regular hosts John Miller and Andrew Brooker have dragged in regular guest and all round beautiful man Lee Loveridge to tackle the webslinger's latest outing.

Along the way there's more THQ chat, some Netflix Witcher gossip and even chat about the God of War BOOK!!

Join us again next time, but until then why not join us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

Life begins at 50!

It's our 50th episode! FIFTY! So, to celebrate, we're doing absolutely nothing.

Ok, that's a bit of a lie. After our most lovable of podcast hosts cover the expanse of news that the last couple of weeks has brought - ncluding release dates for Shenmue III and Devil May Cry 5; the newly announced Xbox finance program; Assassin's Creed release info and more - The guys settle into a little bit of a blast from the past and roll out a little celebratory triple-bill!

Covering games they've loved, hated and changed their mind about over the last nearly two years; come join John and Brooker as they chew over their back catalogue for a gem or two.

It's Quake-Con baby!

Which basically means one of our hosts is going to get super-excited about almost everything that was news worthy this weekend; while John is going to get annoyed because Brooker is talking about DOOM.

AGAIN!

And that's pretty much it.

THe boys have been struggling to find the motivation to get stuck into games so this week's episode is half full of the lads talking mainly from their rectums hoping for something good to talk about.

John got a new gaming laptop and played nothing. Brooker upgraded more 4K stuff and got annoyed at it. Just another week at CU towers. 

Join us again in a couple of weeks, but until then why not join us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

Welcome back to CU Towers.

It's been an eventful couple of weeks and with it being far enough away from big events like E3 and close enough to the very quiet looking summer, hosts John Miller and Andrew Brooker finally have some things to talk about.

What things?

Well, let me tell you.

The boys get into release date news for Pokemon: Lets Go Pikachu and Evee and discuss the possibility of forwards compatibility with the upcoming Pokemon RPG. They get into the multiplayer mode finally coming to No Man's Sky and talk in depth about the upcoming Darksiders 3 now that Gunfire Games has confirmed it's release date and special editions.

Elsewhere, John sinks his teeth into the first couple of entries in the Halo: Master Chief Collection and Brooker gushes over his latest completion of Darksiders: The Warmastered Edition. Is there anything worth playing in the Halo remasters? Could Brooker possibly have anything left to say about War's adventures through the apocalypse? Come find out.

Accepting our invitation from the last episode, one of our favourite friends joins us for this, our 46th episode.

Lee Loveridge joins hosts John Miller and Andrew Brooker to chat nonsense for an hour and a bit and maybe, just maybe, they'll talk about games, too.

THey start off though, with something that they maybe should have been doing since the beginning; they've set up a list of questions to get to know our guests. which is lucky becasue there's next to no news again this week. Becasue of course there bloody isn't.

NAB Live, Ori and the Blind Forest and The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit all come up in the What We've Been Playing section. And so many terrible, terrible things to haunt your dreams come up. Dare you come listen?

Join us again next time, but until then why not join us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

Have you recovered from E3 yet?

We have. Well, kind of.

But recovered or not, it's time to get into another episode and after a bit of a chat about our highs and lows of the gaming industry's five day advert for itself, hosts John Miller and Andrew Brooker have finally had time and energy to get into a load of games.

With the pair both firmly sat in a bit of a funk, sales and back logs provided plenty for them to sink their teeth into. Revisiting Destiny 2 and getting his hands on Marvel Ultimate Alliance seemed to give John the kick up the ass he needed. While Assassins Creed: Origins and Life is Strange: Before the Storm were perfectly suited games to get Brooker's juices flowing.

A week of gaming seems to be just what the doctor ordered for both of our hosts.  Listen in to hear about these and a load more.

Join us again next time, but until then why not join us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

And so we've come to the end of our E3 2018 coverage.

And we end, as we always do, with a Nintendo Direct.

From Smash Bros to Overcooked, Nintendo have something for everyone today. but more so if you love your Smash.
