Time for another podcast, and this time it’s DIY-themed.

In episode 25 of the Tired Old Hack podcast, yer man Scullion is once again joined by Louise.

This time we’re looking at Labo: my review will be coming later this week, but for now we’ve both built an RC car each and so we discuss our initial impressions of the game.

We also look at the recent decision from the Belgian Gaming Commission that the loot boxes in FIFA, CounterStrike and Overwatch are gambling and therefore illegal.

The return of Tired Old Hack naturally also means one other thing: the return of the Tired Old Hack podcast.

In episode 24 of the Tired Old Hack podcast, yer man Scullion is joined by Louise for a listener Q&A special.

After initially reviewing Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, we both go on to answer a whole host of questions from you lovely swines, covering topics like:

• The BAFTA game awards

Well, the waiting is finally over: Super Smash Bros is coming to Switch.

In episode 23 of the Tired Old Hack podcast, yer man Scullion breaks down last night’s Nintendo Direct presentation game by game.

This was also the first ever episode of the podcast to be recorded live on YouTube at the same time, enabling listeners to interact with the episode as it’ proceeds.

This is the funniest podcast yet, and easily the most juvenile.

In episode 22 of the Tired Old Hack, yer man Scullion is joined by special guests Simon Marshall – the creator and organiser of GlesGames – and Gavin Spence, his good pal and illustrator extraordinaire.

As well as chatting about GlesGames, we also talk about Labo, the Xbox Game Pass and God Of War, and Simon and Gav also list the five games that have meant the most to them.

Oh, and there are also far too many jokes about having sex in a shed.

The next GlesGames takes place on 24 February 2018 at the Trades Hall in Glasgow. Head over here to buy tickets!

Podcast gods, bring me another audio treat.

Episode 21 of the Tired Old Hack podcast is here, and yer man Scullion is once again joined by yer woman Scullion (and foetus Scullion, but s/he’s not saying much just yet).

Following the latest Nintendo Direct Mini, we discuss every game revealed and have a think about which other ports should come to the Switch.

It’s back!

The long-awaited (well, by me) episode 20 of the Tired Old Hack podcast is here, and yer man Scullion is once again joined by yer woman Scullion.

This time we’re discussing loot boxes and whether it’s already too late to stop them. We also talk Super Mario Odyssey and Doom on the Switch, and decide which dead 16-bit franchise we’d like to see getting a revival.

Sorry folks, this one’s a proper rant.

In episode 19 of the Tired Old Hack podcast yer man Scullion’s had enough of review conspiracy theories.

After discussing some of the most recent gaming news (including Nintendo’s latest attempt to break into China) and explaining my VHS project in a bit more depth, I go on a wee bit of a rant about the reaction to my latest review for Nintendo Life, NBA 2K18.

I apologise in advance: I don’t really like being too negative but this has really wound me up so I feel the need to address it. It gets a bit sweary too, so you’ve been warned!

Also, for the first time ever, the podcast will also be available on YouTube, complete with random game footage I’ve captured (this episode it’s NBA 2K18 on Xbox One and Switch). I’ll be updating this page on Tuesday night with the video.

Time to get serious. Well, sort of.

In episode 18 of the Tired Old Hack podcast yer man Scullion goes solo to discuss a couple of things.

First I address the awkward but important topic of PewDiePie’s racism furore, before discussing something more personal: my recent Metroid: Samus Returns review on Nintendo Life, how it came about and my views on the freelance process and bias accusations in general.

It’s ranty, but hopefully interesting.
