Lusipurr and SiliconNooB discuss the latest and most shocking Nintendo revelation: the decision to gate all game patches and DLC content (including for third-party and single-player games) behind the miserable pay-to-use Nintendo Switch Online service.

Lusipurr and SiliconNooB bid farewell to Alastair Cook and Michael Cunningham, even as Dragon Quest XI and Valkyria Chronicles 4 make their arrival in the west, and they discuss how the release of consoles and video games causes time to seem compressed.

Lusipurr, SiliconNooB, and Adeki commiserate (or rejoice) at England's (or Australia's) terrible (or wonderful) performance in the Cricket, but are then buried under an avalanche of news. Only Ron's Ron magic can save them from asphyxiation and pumpkins.

Lusipurr, Adeki, and SiliconNooB review the latest autumn anime offerings, comment on the recent surprise release of Ben Stokes' Punch-Out!!, report pertinent news about Nintendo and Square Enix, and seek to discover the Colour of Magic.

In a Labour Day holiday podcast, Lusipurr and Adeki sit down to reflect upon the first experiences with Final Fantasy VII following its launch on the Sony Playstation, two decades ago, on 7 September, 1997, before Lusipurr recites the Banjo-Kazooie poem.

Lusipurr, Sebastian, and SiliconNooB delve into the biggest stories in a week packed with big stories: in a Halloween manoeuvre, Nintendo's Witch takes flight; Red Dead Redemption 2 promises new and hilarious bugs; and The Last Guardian is finally done.

LIONHEAD STUDIOS IS CLOSED. FABLE LEGENDS IS CANCELLED. ALL IS WELL.

When Nintendo replaces the Fire Emblem: Fates script with the output from a meme generator, SiliconNooB demands that Treehouse be destroyed. Lusipurr, always more circumspect, suggests a political solution: the formation of a true Lusipurrean Empire.

In an effort to prevent Lusipurr enjoying his pizza, SiliconNooB harasses him with constant gibberings and dribblings of a news- and cricket-related nature. Then, adding insult to the injury, Bup arrives on the scene, necessitating even more shouting.

The first Lusi vs. Bup arrives in a feature-length podcast crammed chock-full of culture: Literature, Music, and Intelligent Discourse all feature prominently, as does a double helping of Cricket live-commentated from the last over of the T20 Blast final!
