Game for Anything

I'm reading the title of this episode and just reflecting on the madness of this show that we make.This episode of Game For Anything, Rad proves that a free demo can subsist your gaming needs by sinking 10 hours into the Monster Train 2 demo (now it's more like 20 hours). Plus, Paul gives us another update on Marvel Snap, and discovers new nightmares he never knew existed as Rad tells him about "tooth-in-eye surgery". That's right, a sight-restoring surgery that literally replaces an eyeball with a tooth.Also, we announce the winner of our Logitech giveaway, and discuss all the different ways that urine can make batteries. I promise we're not taking the piss. Also, Paul had drunk his pee before. Ayiyiyi. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But is it a matter of rampant capitalism gutting studios, or is Marvel Rivals' Chinese developer - NetEase - just keeping jobs more local? Plus, heartbreaking news has surfaced of a crypto trader who appears to have ended his own life by playing Russian roulette live streamed on X/Twitter. Disturbingly, memecoins named after him were then tokenised. And, to leave things on a more lighthearted note, Rad shares the joys of her new Polly Pocket sized Kmart rice cooker. Because $15 can buy happiness. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Switch 2 is coming! But it seems like Nintendo aren't switching it up this time, and Paul is maybe a little disappointed.
