To make up for last week's pitiful solo effort we've drafted in Marcus from the #NOTwatching Podcast to share his recent experiences with a certain mobile game that's taking the world by storm right now. How much traffic did he dodge? How many corpses did he trip over? All will be revealed in this week's #NOTpikachu Podcast!

This week's show is a bit of a shambles quite honestly, but our schedules made it come down to a case of either brutally editing our last recording into more episodes than was really appropriate or yours truly briefly recording something for the sake of not missing a week. Suffice it to say, we went for the latter option - but only because I thought of something that might honestly be worth documenting. And by that I'm referring to my obsessively ongoing GOTY decision, which I geekily keep track of all year long. So here it is: my half-time scorecard. The best 5 games I have played in 2016 on this week's specially truncated #NOTplaying Podcast. Normal Service will resume next week!

In no particular order (you'll have to listen to find out where they really stand) ...

There's no sign of the VR hype train losing momentum if Patrick's 'Recently Played' steam list is anything to go by... on the slate this week is the Steam Chart-topping social experiment that is Pool Nation VR, the barmy tower defence of Out of Ammo and lots more! It's all about the HTC Vive on this week's #NOTplaying Podcast!

Adam's been in something of a gaming malaise for the past few months and Iain's been so busy with work that he's not been able to join us on the show for ages either. So it was jolly nice to hear them so enthused about Blizzard's latest genre-crusher, Overwatch. So nice in fact that we thought they should have an episode all of their own to talk about it.... It's all about the LOLs on this week's #NOTplaying Podcast!

With Rob's Oculus finally arriving and the dust settling on whole host of VR announcements which took centre stage at E3, we thought it might be a good time to chat about where things are at with the two platforms currently in existence right now, as well as describe what Oculus's eco-system has to offer for early adopters. It's a post E3 2016 VR discussion on this week's #NOTplaying Podcast!

On this week's show we're recounting the highlights from last week's E3 event in Los Angeles. As usual, none of us were actually there in person, but much of the coverage was difficult to avoid, especially since one of us took the week off with the intention of watching all the conferences as they actually happened. Check out our twitter account (@notplayingpod) if you care to relive the experience. In the meantime, enjoy our thoughts on the highs, the lows and the mehs of E3 2016!

It's a bumper-sized VR edition of the #NOTplaying Podcast this week as Patrick describes some of the mind-blowing experiences he's had since owning Valve's new VR kit. Rob's been round to have a go too, so it's not a complete monologue. It came close though... such is the power of the HTC Vive!
