    Episode 6 is here with a man down, Daz, Paul and Matt push forward, without our quick witted Sparky. It was obvious that we all wish we were 19 again, considering the music we have been listening to recently! The wheel of doom pulled out a fascinating topic, Has your style of gaming genre changed since your teens? 20+ years of gaming has passed, so it would have had to definitely evolve. Matt & Paul also talk about their experience at the recent Adelaide Comic & Toy fair and don't miss out on the recent handheld purchase from Darren, so we invite you back to eavesdrop into our conversation and enjoy what we have to say yet again.

Get an insight into some of the weird and wonderful things that our team has collected over the years! As always, we hope that you enjoy the show, and we'll see you for the next one!

    Wow episode 3 already!! Who would have thought that a podcast about nothing would even last 2 episodes let alone 3, but here we are! We take a dark turn in this episode listening to the dulcet tones of Opeth whilst playing games like Tunic, Return to Monkey Island, the obligatory Street Fighter 6 and whichever Vampire Survivors clone Darren has found! The wheel of doom dealt us an intriguing topic, Is your patience wearing thin when playing story rich games or is it just me? Can you relate in a world full of no time and drama? And find out what dust alluring item Matt purchased recently to the detriment of his wallet. We invite you to eavesdrop in on our conversation, not that it will make you any smarter, but it may induce a nostalgic tear. We sincerely hope you enjoy the show, and we hope to see you back for the next one! Intro Music : DRIVE by Alex-Productions Where else can you find us?

    We are back for episode two of the Are You Game? Podcast! Before we begin, we want to pass on our thanks to everyone who took the time to listen to our first episode! The positive feedback has far exceeded what we were expecting, so once again: Thank you! With the awkward ‘introduction' episode out of the way, we have now settled into our groove! Kicking things off, we have our “What have you…?” segment where we find out what everyone has been playing, listening to, and watching since our last episode. We also find out which companies TV ad drove Boosty mad, to the point that he has blacklisted their products! For the Wheel of Topics™, the topic randomly chosen by the great, benevolent wheel was “Can you still building a retro gaming collection in Australia in 2023?”. Considering some of the retro gaming related podcasts and projects that we have been involved in, you can imagine that we'd have quite a bit to say on this particular topic! And last, but not definitely not least, we close out the show with some sneaky pickups! We sincerely hope you enjoy the show, and we hope to see you back for the next one! Where else can you find us?

    Welcome to episode one of the Are You Game? Podcast – a gaming show about nothing! Well…kind of. Our goal for this podcast is to keep things light and breezy and to just let the conversation flow! Tangents: expect them often! On our first episode, we take the time to introduce ourselves (right on!) and to give you all a bit of a background as to who we are and some of the various projects that we have worked on throughout the years. Some of the other regular segments that you can expect to hear each episode is our “What have you been playing/listening to/watching/eating?” (name pending!), our sneaky pick ups and finally our Wheel Of Topics™ segment (complete with dodgy intro!), where our main topic of the week is chosen completely at random by the great and benevolent Wheel! We sincerely hope you enjoy the show, and we hope to see you back for episode two. Coming soon! Where else can you find us? Twitter: https://twitter.com/AreYouGameAust Threads: Coming soon!
