Unnecessary Gaming

Alchemists brings out Chris' inner lab technician while Airlines Europe reveals Pawel to be a cynical capitalist, Euan is moved to become a history lecturer by Thebes: The Tomb Raiders until being sucked into the world of Factorio. We also return to Tom Clancy's The Division with a less enthusiastic take from Chris who is also trying to escape from jail in The Escapists and terrify Pawel with Who's Your Daddy.

Pawel returns and while organising the first ever unnecessarycon we find time to go into space with Eclipse and X-Wing Miniatures then things get wierd with Please Don't Touch Anything. We also return to the world of triple A console gaming with Far Cry: Primal and The Division.

Chris finally attains his dream of winning a non-existent Spanish football league in Time of Soccer, we keep it SPORTS! related with Blood Bowl: Team Manager and Punch Club. Plus: This War of Mine and Firewatch. Go team.

Pawel joins us again and we try to coax a review out of him for post apocalyptic RPG Degenesis but he would much rather talk at length about XCOM 2. We also discuss Spirits of the Rice Paddy and BEST GAME EVAR Cosmic Encounter.

Euan is away on unrelated business so we've got Pawel for the first time live on the show standing in as co-host in this frantic episode!

Featuring discussion of strange monsters in King of New York and Thea: The Awakening and a large portion of the podcast is inevitably given over to Star Wars with the release of the board game Imperal Assault and Battlefront(field) on consoles. Meanwhile Euan continues his retread of old PC games with Grim Fandango: Remastered.

Euan Plays Railroads! and ponders what Sid Meier is up to in his shed, Chris discusses Armello and controvertial Kickstarter project Dragon Fin Soup and Pawel finally finishes talking about RPGs, plus Commands and Colours: Ancients!

Chris and Euan try their hands at bomb disposal in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Pawel finally manages to talk about some RPGs and we discuss another episode of T.I.M.E stories: The Marcy Case, among other things.

We discuss the first part of new episodic board game T.I.M.E Stories and Chris gets into Fallout 4. Then Euan rambles incoherently about his love of the Dragon Quest series.

Euan goes mildly Old Skool PC with Jurassic Park Operation Genesis while Chris goes Triple A console with Assasin's Creed Syndicate, who wins? Nobody. We also get out some board games: Lancaster and the potentially inflammatory Wok Star.
