We Played This

Back in July 2020, I recorded this pilot for a new series that I hoped to get greenlit for the network I was currently part of but never officially pitched before leaving the network. This was such fun to record and I promised Mark Adams and Colin Brown that I would eventually post for them to listen to even if nobody else is interested so here it is boys!

As a special final episode, I am in the hot seat being interviewed by Chris Wilson

Missed me? After a teeny hiatus, I am back with a new episode. I am joined by writer Jess Byard to discuss the importance of narrative and world building in videogames and how this has also impacted the way film and television is written too.

I chat with Lead Player Support at Behavior Interactive, Nikki Rieth about her work in the games industry, as well as reminiscing on the year we spent as housemates during the era of the Xbox 360. We also talk about sexy vampires in the Legacy of Kain franchise and the important link between music and memory.

On today's episode I am joined by one of my closest friends Grace Ornsby to discuss the gaming heritage that runs through three generations of her family. We also chat about the pervasiveness of gaming piracy in the late 1990s and the time sink that is The Sims.

This fortnight's guest, podcaster Chris Stachiw, tries his best to answer my questions while we simultaneously go off on a tangent fest regarding pretty much every aspect of gaming! We chat about Chris' favourite arcade machine, plus we discuss which online apps and games have been helping us better connect with our loved ones during the Coronavirus pandemic.

On this episode I'm joined by fellow podcaster Kurt North to talk about how single player games make the best multiplayer games, all the weird and wonderful places Kurt likes to play games, and we have a chat about how we think we will be migrating into the next generation of consoles.

This episode is a reunion of sorts as Tim is joined by his co-host on the defunct podcast Without A Mouse. As expected, this episode runs extra long as the pair get side tracked whenever possible. We talk Mega Man, Lego jealousy and everything we miss about videogaming culture.

This week I'm joined by my good friend Carl McCallin to discuss his memories of the Playstation1, the hard-as-nails Battletoads, and which games he would use to introduce a non-gamer to the medium.
