It's been a long time since we've spent an entire episode talking about one game but it's been a long time since one game has grabbed our attention to such an extent. The new indie puzzle game BLUE PRINCE seemingly came out of nowhere (to us, at least) but man oh man is it good. We're fairly vague in our chat but we do talk about a couple of little details here and there (with a bit of warning when we get to them) so if you want to go in completely fresh, maybe hold off a bit before listening. That said, what we do talk about really only scratches the surface of this game and what makes it so fun, surprising and satisfying.Get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

One year is over and now another year has begun. Personally, I've never seen anything like this happen before but I'll do my best to put that out of my head and get stuck into what is sure to become the new craze of 2025: "Podcasting". We're taking a look ahead at the games we'll be playing this year: there's a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima which we can neither remember nor pronounce the title of, there's a new Grand Theft Auto on the horizon, a new Monster Hunter, a new Civilization, a new Switch!!??

Who will earn a coveted spot amongst the Filthy Casuals Games of the Year?

I'm excited to see the show continue with Tommy and Ben, and I'm sure I will see you all again in the not too distant. Until then

Seasons may be changing into a Christmasy winter or a festive summer, subject to your hemisphere, but what is evidently a global and year-round constant is the dependable presence of new leaks around the Switch 2. We've got some good ones this week, and we talk new joy-cons and screen sizes. For those of you who already knew the Switch 2 would have controls and a screen, we also talk Ben's new Raspberry Pi, Adam's thoughts on the Silent Hill 2 remake, and a whole bunch more!
