This week, we head back to Metal Gear again but something's very different...

We talk about the secret formula to a 'Platinum' game, how Rising compares to Bayonetta, and that tricky counter move.

But first, Lochie has an apology to make...

Anime. Manga. Naruto. YO! I dont have time to write this right this second... but when I get back from my urgent trip to Ikea this description box will be filled with useful info. Believe it!

It's 2005 and Sam Fisher has got an assault course to get through...

We sneak through sound booths, interact with cloth physics and try to do the splits on this weeks Time Played: 3hr.

Oh wait no, it's 2002. My bad.

xx

This week we're 'total trashfire' twenty somethings scrolling around the streets we grew up with, looking for anything to do in 'Night In The Woods'... somehow it just doesn't resonate.

Lochie's buzzing after blazing through Nier Automata, while Louis attempts to recall his impressions of Platinum games' 2017 creation.

Worth a listen ;)

Bonus Mid-week episode!

Ever wondered what happens when you take one of the most mechanically passive games and then make someone else play it for you?

This week we went to Dear Esther Live at the Brighton Dome to find out.

It's Dear Esther, but LIVE.

We've returned from our assignments and we've got a few things to report to the council (that's you in this metaphor).

Monsters were hunted, cats were cuddled and 3 hrs were played on this weeks Timeplayed: 3hr.

We use this podcast as an excuse to finally get back to our friends at Shujin Academy.

Is Ryuji still a complete dingus? How many detectives are there now? And does Louis like everyone more now that he doesn't have to sit on the floor?

This week Lochie got Louis to play the same 30 seconds of a game he's already played for three hours all in the name of speed running.

What a racket.

This week we're playing everything but Trine 3.

We talk about the weirdo character designs in Warframe.

The great character creator in Dragon Ball Zenoverse.

The aesthetic pleasure of city builders like Kingdoms and Castles.

The incentives to play League Of Legends.

and Zelda... yep.
