What happens when two British gaming enthusiasts attempt to discuss their latest gaming adventures but keep getting derailed by their own bizarre sense of humor? You get Episode 265 of The Unofficial Controller Podcast, where hosts George and RGT deliver gaming insights wrapped in some of the most unexpected tangents you'll ever hear.

RGT takes us deep into his 60-hour journey through Xenoblade Chronicles X, sharing thoughtful analysis of how the game's structure reinforces its narrative of humanity struggling to establish itself on a new planet. Even seemingly mundane side quests contribute meaningfully to this theme, creating an immersive role-playing experience that doesn't feel like grinding. His early impressions of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown offer a concise breakdown of its challenging-but-fair combat system and satisfying Metroidvania elements.

Meanwhile, George shares his ongoing obsession with Farming Simulator 25, describing in almost poetic detail his virtual agricultural endeavors and dreams of expanding into lumberjacking. The hosts also discuss their disappointments with games like Road Craft and Expeditions, offering constructive criticism about missed opportunities in game design.

The highlight comes with the reveal of the podcast's new Season 6 artwork created by longtime supporter Harvey Retro. Inspired by The Goonies, this artwork features caricatures of all hosts and clearly delights George and RGT, whose genuine excitement provides a glimpse into the community-focused nature of the podcast.
