With the crew back up to full power, Episode 54 is easily the best episode we’ve had in at least four weeks.

In Episode 54, deKay, Kendrick, Luffer and Toby spit bars on such topics as Gamesmaster, Epic buying Harmonix, The Elder Scrolls VI (that’s “vee eye” not “eye vee”, Kendrick) being PC and Xbox exclusive, more Bugsnax incoming, and racism. No, not providing racism (well, not three of us anyway), but discussing it. Big chats, boys. And! Some! Games!

• Animal Crossing
• Castlevania Advance Collection
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Duet
• Demons Souls
• Lost Judgment
• Saviors of Sapphire Wings
• Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
• Game Builder Garage
• Hades
• Pikmin Bloom

If that isn’t enough for you then by Harry what else can we possibly do for you? Aside from asides, and listener questions, of course. Oh, and we set you some homework.

Three (count ’em!) presenters this month. That’s 50% more than last time, so does it translate to 50% better quality? Of course not.

In Episode 53, deKay, Kendrick and Toby outdo last month’s Traffic Cone Chat with discussion about AI tanks and how that relates to Roombas dealing with dog poo. Come on, you don’t get this with TCGS. Also, more on Activision Blizzard, the new Animal Crossing expansions, the Xbox Mini Fridge, and games not limited to these on this list here:

• Hades
• Animal Crossing
• Sunless Sea
• Metroid Dread
• Lost Judgment
• Skyrim

Plus some EA loot box bashing, and the usual diversions that we know you listen to us for. Well, presumably that’s why anyway.

It’s just the OG lads this episode, because everyone else is sick, on holiday, sick and on holiday, or lazy. Or lazy and sick.

deKay and Kendrick attempt to make the best of the situation with Hot Facts about the Nintendo Direct, Victoria III, Activision Blizzard and Thatcher’s Techbase (trigger warning: little bit of politics), discuss Chris Pratt and why he would be a better Luigi than a Mario, and spoke all the words about many of the games, not least:

• Skyrim
• Sonic Adventure DX
• Xanadu Next
• Lost Judgment
• Animal Crossing
• Cannon Fodder
• Zookeeper World
• Sensible Soccer
• Sunless Sea
• One Piece Unlimited World Red Deluxe

And! Probably the most in-depth podcast material on the subject of traffic cones ever broadcast. Holy hell are you missing out if you don’t listen.

Back to boring old noises-only podcasting, here’s Episode 51! Probably for the best you can’t see our fat greasy faces anyway.

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick, Luffer and Toby talk about Serious Things like war and stuff with some discussion about Six Days in Fallujah, Moderately Less Serious Things like how Among Us is now in Fortnite and how naughty that is, and some Very Much Less Serious Things like some upcoming remasters of GTA III and Exhumed. And hardly any mention of Yakuza at all, sorry. But we did drop bars on these games:

• Mafia: Definitive Edition
• Overcooked 2
• Pixel Puzzle
• Colour Switch
• Spec Ops: The Line
• Cotton Reboot
• Darius Burst Another Chronicle EX+
• Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus (you’re making these up now)
• Animal Crossing
• Earth Defense Force 5
• Free Guy (this isn’t a game, Toby)
• Hades

And! Some! Questions! Answered! Including one where deKay makes himself sad when he comes up with the idea for Castlevania Warriors and then realises it ain’t ever gon’ happen.

Well this is exciting! To celebrate 50 episodes of everyone’s favourite podcast with the letters u, g, v and m in it, we did a live video show! No, not that sort of live video show.

Because of that, Episode 50 is a little different. deKay, Kendrick and Zo were actually there, in person, on camera to natter about games, but in case you prefer to listen to us rather than look at us (which is very likely because, my word have you seen us?) we’ve made an audio only version available too.

In this episode, we talk about the Switch Pro, the Steam Deck, the Playdate, Denuvo, the Activision Blizzard stuff in the news, and Zo got an Xbox headset and wants to tell you all about it. As well as all that, we also spoke about these games:

• Animal Crossing New Horizons
• One Piece Pirate Warriors 4
• Alwa’s Legacy
• Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World
• Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart
• Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
• Tetris Effect
• Sonic Adventure
• Yakuza 0
• Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis
• Phantasy Star Online
• Sega Rally Revo

And, some LIVE QUESTIONS that came in as we recorded! Fresh. Oh, and Toby was an absolute legend being the buttons-and-knobs man behind the scenes.
