The Savage Situation Podcast

Iain tells the tale of when he was mugged off at school trading The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask...for Bomberman (LOL) That alone makes the episode unmissable but also Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass is HERE! New tracks and cups, we break it ALL down- we welcome in the new season of Fortnite as well which has WIPED ALL BUILDS AWAY (!!) which must be a reason for players of old to come back...right?? FIFA makes a massive c*ck up gifting everybody something VERY special by mistake and Iain dusts off the old skool monitor to reconnect with a very special game ;)

It's about time that Iain and I shared our story with YOU; our brilliant listeners! How did we both get into Esports? What's the best way to get ahead in 2022 as broadcast talent in the gaming world? What would we have done differently, and what have we learned since we began? Iain and I have a very honest conversation about the gaming industry and its future, the highs and lows of working as hosts in the Esports world and why our idea of success in mainstream TV has changed over the years. Iain also talks his time at the Intel Masters in Katowice, Poland, and the impact of world events on his time there. Inevitably, I also sing from the hills about how RIDICULOUSLY GOOD Elden Ring really is.

**we hugely enjoyed recording this episode and are always here to help any of you get ahead in this often overwhelming industry...which we too TOTALLY made up as we went along :) We got you! - Sav and Iain x

We're back with a BIG show because NINTENDO DIRECT was AWESOME! So many big games announced, from Splatoon 3 to Mario Strikers: Battle League, but the most exciting one of all...Nintendo Switch Sports! It's predecessor, Wii Sports,selling almost 90 million copies worldwide; will THIS be the game that redefines the Switch? The Tinder Swindler dropped on Netflix, Uncharted hit cinemas and FINALLY we have the start of a huge month for games as we chat all things Dying light 2 and Sifu. TOO MUCH CONTENT!!!! :D

Can't believe it. 3yrs on the bounce as the world's premiere gaming event, E3, is cancelled once more. What are the repercussions? Where is everybody going to find out about the latest games/ bars that serve the cheapest shots in LA?? :D Such a shame- Iain and I break it all down as well as talk PS VR2 and whether this is THE peripheral to rule them all, I moved house and have turned in to a firm believer that WiFi is EVERYTHING and our **GREATEST GAMING MOMENTS, EVER!

**Iain had his yesterday, he got a QUIGLEY! You know what that is?? Nope, me neither - he explains it all, Clarissa style.

(We also recorded this very late at night. Things get crazy. ENJOY!)
