It's a huge week for video games! We're a couple of days away from a Zelda Direct and a Nintendo Direct so we try and predict some things we'll see in both. There's been a Sony State of Play so we're wrapping up all the big announcements. Plus we've gotten a few hours in to the co-op platformer Orbitals, as well as spending a bit of time with The Blood of Dawnwalker and Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... two little cunnies watched a presentation on Netflix about an incredibly anticipated game and then recorded a podcast about it. We've had our first extended look at the world of Grand Theft Auto VI and we've got a lot to say about it! The missions, the pacing, the graphics and some more speculation about what we could be seeing down the line! PLUS we've both taken on the tactical combat...
This week we're taking a stroll through the beautiful Australian bush and attempting to... put... shapes... into... a box, or something? We don't really know yet, but we've had a very good time finally checking out House House's new Friendslop masterpiece Big Walk! We're also chatting about a huge week of GTA 6 leaks, making predictions about the games big reveal and Ben reviews Sovereign Tower!
In an absolute coup for the podcast, this week we've been invited to rub shoulders with a who's who of Australian mainstream gaming media at a hands-on event for Marvel's Wolverine. We've spent two hours with the early parts of the game so you're going to hear our unfiltered thoughts on the combat, the characters, the story and yes, some random stuff that we saw outside the window of the building we were in. Plus we're wrapping up ...
Tommy's back from Vietnam so it's time to catch up on a couple of weeks worth of video game news.

Plus Tommy's checked out the Pokemon Pokopia Bubbly Basin DLC and Ben's gone in on Marvel TOKON Fighting Souls, The Incident At Galley House, and Assassin's Creed ...
This week we're joined by a special guest: RAY O'LEARY! We discuss Ray's physical media collection, his very specific Mario Galaxy gripes, what he's been playing recently, and how this podcast informed some of his recent purchases!

One of the big news stories of this week is that a pre-order date for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been announced - just in case you were skeptical about this game being one of the biggest launches of anything ever. Speaking of launches, Xbox has launched another new round of studio closures which obviously sucks! On a more positive note, we've checked out a bunch of fun and creative new demos as part of Steam Next Fest, and Square's new...
Two MASSIVE games to get through this week which makes it the perfect time to go on a tangent about hog sizes. Once that’s wrapped up, it’s time to talk about 007 First Light and Mina The Hollower. There’s also news about a Steam Deck price increase, Yuji Naka copping strays in the press, and a delay for the much-anticipated Fable.

We're in the board room this week and what better place to discuss the gaming industry's newest source for big announcements: the earnings call. We're getting closer and closer to the roll out of Grand Theft Auto 6 and so we're speculating about what kind of advertising and tie-ins we're going to see for this massive cultural event. Plus, we've also spent a bit of time with Yoshi And The Mysterious Book, and Zero Parades For Dead S...
One of us has been struck down by illness but that won't stop us from weighing in on the bonkers controversy surrounding the indie darling Mixtape! There's also news of a new Nintendo mobile game, Ben's been playing Gambonanza: the new Balatro-style twist on chess, while Tommy's been taking on the fascists in Indiana Jones & The Great Circle on Switch 2.

Remember Star Fox? He's back! In grotesque puppet form! There's a "new" Star Fox game on the horizon and we're discussing everything we know from the divisive art style to the effectiveness of using a movie to promote an upcoming game. We've also had a huge look at Ryu Ga Gotoku's new decades spanning game Stranger Than Heaven, Ben's played more Saros and Tommy's checked out Mixtape.
Recently we got the biggest jump scare of our lives when we realised that we never followed up on our planned Resident Evil Requiem spoiler chat. Thankfully, a teaser trailer dropped this week for Zach Cregger's new Resident Evil film, which has given us a reason to revisit it! And while we're at it, we're spending more time chatting about the highly addictive Vampire Crawlers and Ben's got some early impressions of Housemarque's n...
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has made hundreds of millions at the box office ($30 of which is thanks to Tommy) and so it's no surprise that a bunch of other video game adaptations are on the horizon. This week, we're digging into the casting news for Elden Ring and the announcement that adaptations of Call of Duty and Battlefield are being worked on. We're also reviewing Vampire Crawlers, the awesome new card-based spin-off of Vamp...
