This week we decided to take a look at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo – better known as E3. There were a lot of new game announcements, so we decided to take a look at some of the titles that caught our eye from each of the main conferences.

This week Harry and Becka recount their adventures at May’s MCM Expo in London, where there was lots to see and do while Harry continued to stalk Geof Banyard (someday he’ll get that wascally wabbit), who graces us with another sea shanty.

This week we convene the fourth meeting of the Villain Appreciation Society, but sadly we’re missing a few members so we're joined by Rob 1’s co-host from Literary Loitering – the(very) ancient football sage known as Bob Moss.

On this edition of the show we decided to don our fedoras, grab our maps and compasses, and head out into the great unknown on our very own adventure.

On this week’s episode we take a look at martial arts and fighting (since we all like a good virtual punch-up). Join us to find out why Rob 2 got really excited by The Raid, what counts as a martial arts movie, and what makes a good videogame beat-em-up.

This episode was inspired by the fact that we all loved The Avengers movie, and aside from squeeing over it a little, we thought the best thing to do was to take a look at the sequels and spin-offs that are rife in popular media. With that in mind, we ask why modern movies tend to be trilogies, try to work out why game sequels always seem to have a multi-player feature, wonder if all good things should come to an end, and more besides.

On this episode we decided to follow in the footsteps of so many great visionaries by going off at a tangent into the realms of absurdity. Join us as we discuss ridiculous TV shows, weird and/or eccentric movies, wacky animations, and the lack of continuous, coherent, and consistent storylines in Western comics.

From April 13th to 15th 2012, Birmingham was invaded my a small army of catgirls, cosplayers and mechs as Kitacon returned for another year of shenanigans and fun. Harry, Phil, Beka joined the fray along with returning guest Moley, and together the gang went in search of interviews and fun. Here, chronicled for your listening pleasure, is our coverage of Kitacon 4 featuring an audience, guests and food-based challenges.

Following on from our Easter episode on extra lives, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at a genre that, while not as “sexy” as vampires (unless there’s something very wrong with you), is currently all the rage in games, TV, and even a few movies. Join us as we try to find out if everything is really better with zombies.

After many questions about where chocolate eggs and rabbits fit into the original idea of Easter, we thought the best way to celebrate the festival was to talk about extra lives – which is basically the gaming equivalent of resurrection. In this episode we wonder why superheroes/villains simply won't stay dead, try to work out if Jedi Masters actually die, and ask if the whole idea of extra lives in games is dead.
