  • Another EGX Been and Gone Another EGX Been and Gone


    We went.  We saw.  We chatted.  EGX 2018 ended up being a very busy couple of days of playing games, interviewing developers, and walking... a lot.  So what better way to sum it up than to grab some guests and talk through what our favourite parts were and if there was anything we regretted not seeing.



    In this episode of the Codec Moments Podcast, you'll hear:

    * Stuart Cullen making a return to remind us all why his weekly page is called Scotch Corner
    * Ali Cornwall suspiciously spending a lot of time recording with us
    * What individually our favourite three things were - that's 12 in total for anyone who wants the maths doing for them!
    * How many miles walked each day
    * A dodgy voicemail
    * The amount of time we spent talking to the people who actually make the games

  • Pre-GX 2018

    Very soon we’ll be heading down the M1 to visit a massive building that each year gets filled with the latest and greatest games – it’s nearly time for EGX 2018!  We figured we’re on a roll and decided to pull together another yet another episode, this time joined by Ali Cornwall for a pre-GX chat about what our must see’s are at this year’s show.

    In this brief episode you’ll hear:

    • the coincidence of the year as they all put the same game as number one on their must see list
  • a strange amount of Nintendo love
  • an honourable mention or two
  • and you won’t ever find out what Matt’s original bonus game was…

  • Codec Momentum - Mega Momentum 2018

    Regular listeners will already know that we’ve recorded each of the monthly #CodecMomentum updates over the last few months, but just haven’t got them edited and released (we’re rubbish, we know).  Well wait no longer gaming fans!  Here comes the biggest, longest Codec Momentum update in the history of our podcast.  We’re bringing you all the action from the last 4 rounds of the 2018 championship in… Mega Momentum!

    In this extra special Mega Momentum round up of the 2018 community competition you won’t find out what’s going on with 2017’s trophies, but you will learn:

    • What happened in May and who won the monthly prize,
  • The Q2 medal winners and why they deserve the extra momentum,
  • Whether we’ve had any team member cosplay,
  • Some stats… but not enough to make it boring,
  • Movers and shakers in July,
  • Who our intrepid reporter is,
  • August’s latest info and the battles throughout the leaderboard,
  • Why we’ll be more careful in future over our “concept” episodes.

  • The Calm Before The Games Storm


    Alright, alright... we know we're a bit lax with this whole podcasting business and it's far too long between episodes, but we're about to make up for it.  Over the next few weeks there's Mega Momentum and EGX 2018 which will mean loads and loads of time you'll have to spend listening to us talking about games.  Lucky people!  Whilst we were recapping the last few months of #CodecMomentum we got asked a couple of questions that didn't really fit in the update and were too good to ignore, so here they are!



    Listen to this short interlude to discover:

    * What's the most expensive game Andy and Matt have ever bought
    * How long was cut out because they spent too much time digging through old collectors editions
    * Why they play video games - a more existential question than you'd think

  • E3 Bingo 2018

    It’s that time of year once again… the annual tradition that Matt and Andy record an E3 podcast that never sees the light of day, as it languishes in editing hell until EGX… but not so this year!  Andy, Matt and everyone on the Codec Moments Discord Server, got together to discuss their E3 predictions ready to form their bingo sheet for the actual event.  Some are outlandish, some sound like they have been researched and some have already been announced in the week since the recording took place.

    In this podcast:

    • We predict that Ubisoft will be bringing Michael Ironside back as the voice of the Knight Rider car
  • We fail to predict that Bethesda will announce a new Fallout game prior to E3
  • Predict that the one game without a Battle Royale mode at E3, will be hailed as innovative and original
  • Give away a classic British TV show on DVD, to a lucky member of our DIscord server
