It's that time of year, it's time for the Half Yearly Good Vibes Only Jamboree!
This week I share all the pre-orders and campaigns that I've backed, what I'm excited about, and other good news as it pops into my tiny brain.
Have a superb week OMC crew! OMC peeps are the very best peeps.
Errata: Yes, I said Andrew Pfister, sorry....
After a work and plague related hiatus, I've recovered from all the food, wine and cheese.
Back to my regular program, this week I bring you (almost) all the Games that Were (there were a LOT).... I share Postman Pete's sisyphean burden that this season's 'INCOMING!!!!' has wrought (he's ok).
We traipse through the FOMOMOFO minefield that is thankfully quiet (for now), and then I have a good chat with the Voices in My Head. The Unive...
Welcome to One Man Clapping's 2025 'unwrap'!
Super Trooper and I unpack all our favourite moments from 2025, our top 10 plays of the year, our favourite moments from around the table, and so much more.
Thank you, OMC crew, for 2025. Here's to 2026 having more games, more time, and more great moments.
You guys are the best.
Hamez and Super Trooper
Welcome back OMC crew!
This week I share the Games that Were (spoiler alert, my house was filled with shenanigans, not many games were played....).
In FOMOMOFO we're talking all things Witcher Legacy, and in VIMH I talk about that uber sexy sweet spot when game play and theme get together after too many drinks.... (the game, not me)
Have a great week, OMC crew, you guys are the very best....
This week I share all the 'Games that Were', I take you through what's recently arrived with 'INCOMING!!!!', and of course we have my regular therapy session with FOMOMOFO, which is thankfully brief. I of course most definitely am NOT backing any more games this year....
And this week, I had the opportunity to catch up with Jamey Stegmaier, and share a peek behind the curtain with his very own Origin Story.... (starts at 0:50 if yo...
After a week off for a little self care, it's a bumper week.
As usual, I go through all the Games that Were, I share the tidal flow of what's arrived at the Bunker with INCOMING!!!!
This week on FOMOMOFO is thankfully brief as we seem to be coming to the end of Broketober and Nomoneyvember.....
And this week in Voices in My Head I share my thoughts on Small Box games vs Big Box games....
Have a great week, OMC crew, OMC fans are the be...
This week I'm back to a little post PAX normalcy with all the 'games that were'!
Broketober continues (and looks like it will lead straight into No-money-vember) with the eternal march of crowdfunding....
I update you with the games that have been delivered of late and I share my part joy part terror at the thought of actually attending Essen.
Huge thank you to all the OMC crew that have sent me your live photos and updates, it's been...
This economy size 'Murca level episode brings you the games that were from Pax Australia, in FOMOMOFO I go down the rabbit hole that is this time of year and Ermergerd it is voluminous....
Then I share my two 'best in show', my picks of Pax and they were both wonderful surprises.
Also, full disclosure, I played a buttload (that's a real measurement, look it up) of games, and I likely misquote a number of rules throughout this mammoth...
This week I'll share all the games that were (toasters, toasters everywhere....) I'll share my angst ridden tortured relationship with crowdfunding in FOMOMOFO and I discuss my thoughts on Stonemaier's launch model of compressed FOMO.
It's PAX Australia this week, the best week of the year.
Have a great week OMC crew, you're the very best crew.
(Please note, there will be no episode next week due to Pax Australia....)
Do not buy games on Saturday night...... it'll all make sense soon...
This week we go through all The Games that Were, and there were some GREAT games this week....
We're back to our regular FOMOMOFO program where I share my angst ridden personal battle with crowdfunding, and in Voices in My Head I share with you a parable of bad decisions.
Don't worry, it all ends well.
Have an amazing week OMC crew, you guys are the very best.
This week we're rolling a little differently, it's a hot run through crowdfunding with an uber session of FOMOMOFO and then straight to the table with the Voices in My Head.
Turns out, I may have a slight boardgame porn addiction. I'm also SORT of ok with that, though this epiphany comes with some ideas.
Errata pack - I mention 'Calimala by Reiner Knitzia', apologies, I was thinking of Cascadero, different beige, I blame the coffee.
Spoiler alert, I had an amazing week. This week is a mammoth serving of 'the games that were', a quick skip through FOMOMOFO, and a dash of INCOMING!!!! (yes. 4 exclamation marks)
In 'Voices in my Head' I coin a new category of game for my collection, and I give a very deserved clap this week.
Also, very real spoiler alert, I talk at length about Clank Legacy in this episode, and neglected to warn about spoilers before I started. Apo...
It's hard to believe it's been a year, huge thank you to every one of you!
This week, I go through the 'Games that Were', we take a trip down FOMOMOFO road and I issue a small retraction following my wild rant of two weeks ago, and in 'Voices in my Head', I share the wild ride that has been the first year of this fabulous therapy group.
You guys are amazing.
Well we did it. We finished Cycle One of Aeon Trespass Odyssey...
If you have no interest in Aeon Trespass, feel free to skip this.
Super Trooper joins me for a full length breakdown (technical, not mental) of our Cycle One experience. We do a half hour of spoiler free, then we go right down the rabbit hole.
Spoiler alert, there are spoilers.
Also, Aeon Trespass is very special. It's not for everyone, but it's definitely for us.
Have a ...
This week life is good.
I share with you all the 'Games that Were', we go down the Ark Nova rabbit hole in FOMOMOFO, and in Voices in My Head I share with you the evolution of my board game loves over the year and what it means to me.
Have an amazing week OMC crew, wherever you are in the world, I appreciate you.
Thanks for this week's therapy session, you're the best.
Hamez
This week, some good things, some terrible things, some boardgame things.
Mostly just good vibes only. .We're back to FOMOMOFO (not Nepalese dumplings, those are momos), some games were played, and I tell a story.
It's been a week, I couldn't tick the 'explicit' button twice, it should be an option. Sorry, not sorry.
rage, rage against the dying of the light.....
Somehow, Palpatine returned....
I"m back, was off for reasons, sorry but also not.
Lots of news this week in a return to form.
This week with a Playcon wrap up, news, the way forward and a new job.
Also ads. OMC now qualifies for paid ads, and we're trialing that from this week.
Have a great week OMC crew, love ya!
Yesterday we finished a major milestone in one of the Campaigns we're playing. It was glorious.
Today, I'm sharing my thoughts on the finish line. We'll make some noise in space during the 'Games that Were', I'll share all my capitalist angst in FOMOMOFO, and we'll have a regular therapy session in voices in my head.
Someone may or may not get the clap.
Happy Monday, OMC crew!
Happy podcast day OMC crew!
I needed a little more coffee today, so much rambling. But eventually we got through it, the 'Games that were...', a full tour of FOMOMOFO, in Voices in My Head I finally share my feels about Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era, not gameplay, not rules, just the feels.
And someone gets the clap.
Have a great week Fam!
Love ya.
Taking a short break from the regular format, Super Trooper and I share our top 10 expansions, that make the game better, and maybe one or tow that don't!
Happy Monday OMC Crew!
