One Life Left's Podcast

CONTENT WARNING - This show includes a sports massage. Not, like, as a free gift for you, though something could be arranged, maybe. Let's not completely rule that out right this minute. Anyway, no, it's a descriptive thing. One of our intrepid hosts finds himself needing of some physio so gets a sports massage. From two ladies. Both called Sophie. Look, if that sounds far fetched then don't blame me, I'm just giving you a heads up. The word "buttocks" is used. If that's the kind of thing that offends then, I dunno, start the show 10 minutes in. That's a rough guess as once this gets uploaded and ads are thrown in the mix my timings go straight out the window but 10 minutes should be safe... Beyond that, welcome to the latest episode of One Life Left! This week there's still no Super Special Keef but we have a jam packed show that includes potential Nintendo Game-Key Card shenanigans, the Post Trauma of releasing a game in the shadow of Oblivion, a footy game doing well (and it isn't PES, FIFA, EA, SWOS, Kick Off nor even Emlyn Hughes International Soccer!), Simon has a "hack" for getting cheaper Switch 2 upgrades and we ponder over an Outrun movie. We also have Ste reporting back on his recent trips to Switzerland and Reboot in Croatia, including all the gossip and The Art of Video Game Design covers delayed gratification! For some reason our mailbag is bare. Barren. Bereft of letters/emails/offers of cash. Only YOU can change this, dear listeners. Our lives and/or sanity may depend on your correspondence so PLEASE write to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord, chat amongst other OLL dignitaries and leave a letter for us on there.

Don't expect stunningly well crafted notes like last week, dear listeners. I think I burnt myself out a bit, there. This week you'll mostly get a list. Enter at your own peril. This week: No SSG! Simon is recovering from showing off his dart skills in Barcelona Ste made yet more games Star Wars: Hunters is being switched off (and it's not even been out a year...) There was a Phil Harrison jest at GDC An old game that was awful is being remade for reasons Undertale is selling well again Lego is doing a Pokémon (or vice versa) The boys have no FOMO over missing GDC (and has it had it's day...?)

(This is the podcast edition of the radio show that you're listening to, just in case you didn't know.) This episode we have Simon being performance art and releasing TWO games this week, Ste has people sliding into his DMs, Multiversus is going, Nintendo tickets re-sale shenanigans, Microsoft doing alright for themselves according to PR and PS5 gets Forza!

This week we start 2025 again because last week was just a practice run. There's Microsoft making more handheld noises, Ubisoft postpone Assassin's Creed Shadows again and is Half Life 3 on the horizon? We also "exclusively" reveal that the Switch 2 will be released on March 3rd which happens to be my birthday making the Switch 2 an ideal, if not perfect, birthday present, hint hint!

Join us as OLL hurtles towards it's 19th year, dearest listener, and for Simon's NYE tale of woe - a Kafkaesque Meta magnum opus if ever there was one! (Listeners on our Discord have already had a brief snippet but hear him tell the full story here without him using any F, S, B or C bombs!)

Thought you'd heard the last from us in 2024, did ya?! Well, you were wrong! Santa's put you on the nice list so here's a bonus episode of OLL just for YOU. This episode was originally broadcast on September 24th this year on the Yogscast Twitch channel as part of Pickaxe Week and has a Super Special Guest in the form of Ozan from Perfectly Paranormal showing off their latest game: The Holy Gosh Darn. Amongst other things he also reveals some cheat codes for the game "exclusively" for OLL! It's the sort of thing you'd usually have to write in to GamesMaster for!! Caveat: This episode was fully intended to be SEEN and, as such, there's probably a fair number of visual puns and general shenanigans that don't work as well in an audio podcast... Sorry! If you want to watch the full glorious technicolour video version then it's on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOPjt6j3sGE Why not escape from the family and bad TV over the holidays and write us a letter for one of our future episodes?!

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dearest listeners! This week we have Devolver delays, PS2 sells loads, Xbox fight Google, Slow Game Club and the Lego Bond we nearly got!!!

This week there are flimsy cards, Simon turns 53, Sony attempt another handheld and shadows are important! There's also undercover "journalism" as Ste goes all Cook Report and stalks/hounds/illegally records/chats to (delete as appropriate) Keith Stuart at GaMaYo! Which is also where we had a great time and heard A codename for the Switch 2! But was it the correct codename?! Only time will tell...

This week, dearest of listeners, we have Overcooked! revelations, Xbox do marketing (see above), Nintendo patrol the high seas for pirates (ah harr!), game "awards" and starter packs? Starter packs!!

This week we ask the BIG questions: Who is following us on Bluesky? What is a turnip driver? Is a disk drive a dongle?? We also discover AI's weakness, Netflix kill off their interactive shows, the Borderlands movie never happened, Ste shoots all the time in everyday life, Simon has "beef" with "the man" and what exactly is all this UKIE shenanigans, anyway?! We also talk about upcoming appearances at GaMaYo (Thursday 21st November in Wakefield) and the Maraoke Xmas Party (Friday 13th December)! Can you fix an extractor fan?

WARNING: This show contains a brief mention of private body parts that Ste probably still hasn't heard! Shocking! It's OK, though, coz it's related to something glow-in-the-dark that was bought in Blackpool! Oo-er! ANYWAY! SSG klaxon ahoy! This week we are joined by Paul Monaghan who recently interviewed Simon as part of his amazing work collecting games magazine journos and telling their stories whilst not sharing any gossip! From Googling how to spell his name correctly I also suspect he's from the same part of the world as I am so that makes him even more of a top chap, obviously! Meanwhile, we also have Nintendo inventing music, Charlesbot pretending he needs more practice at reading the news and Nvidia being bigger than anything! Ste and Simon also go on a world tour to hunt down dodgy/knock-off/pirated videogames for you, dear listener! (Does that make the holidays OLL expenses...?) If you're reading this nonsense and it's not yet Friday 8th November, we have a FREE Maraoke event at Loading in Stoke Newington. On Friday 8th November. Get your tickets HERE!

Isn't it horrible when someone leaves you out of something? Well, dear listeners, this week we discover how a veteran Edge writer has been left out of a new periodical written by veteran Edge writers!!! The injustice!! We also have Charlesbot evolving into something that swears and says "aaah" a lot, the "console arms race" has levelled out and it's Tetris aaaaaaall the way down. Tetris! Plus much more... Meanwhile we have another Maraoke event coming up and this time it's FREE! Friday 8th November at Loading in Stoke Newington. Get your tickets HERE!

Hello! Welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the podcast version of the video game radio show that is now "officially" old enough to buy alcohol (in the UK, anyway).

This week we learn that things are going to be "OK" whilst, also, that there is always fear. It's an important life lesson that we probably don't make enough song and dance about. Also, at the point of recording AND of the podcast release of this episode, IT may still be coming home. I mean, IT likely won't but we're in that Schrödinger's Football Championship zone where anything can happen. However, if you're reading these notes at any point after about 10pm on July 10th 2024 then all of this is irrelevant. Also, hi, how's the apocalypse? Anything like Fallout? Let us know at etc etc... Meanwhile, we also hear about a Holland Park Gallic rejection, Bioware let us cheat death, Nintendo promise Switch 2's for everyone and a man gets in trouble for fidgeting with his Master Sword in public. It's true. Note from The Undercaretaker - Ste mentions something about beds at the start of the reviews section this week which leads Simon on to talking about Minecraft. This might not make sense but it's related to the musical intros/beds not working on the live & radio broadcast of the show (thanks, Riverside.fm!) that I've fixed for the podcast edition. I didn't want to completely butcher what our intrepid duo were talking about, though. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Ofcom's HQ is at Riverside House. Our recording software is Riverside.FM... CONSPIRACY??!? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or slide into our Discord and leave us a letter there as well as getting allocated a game to (rarely) review AND a link to play the OLL game currently called Black Diamonds! Link below!

This week OLL is coming home, we're Shure of it! We talk about AAA games not doing well on iPhone, a grown man having a tantrum at Nintendo, the Cyberpunk sequel being more American and Steam members having a lot of unplayed games! We also reveal that Ste is not a Saudi prince and Simon doesn't appear to be a fan of the Tour de France. And, yes, I appear to have fixed the issues Ste mentions in the exclusive podcast intro!

Iiiiiiin this week's episode of the longest running video game radio show in the English language we have Keef Stuart's skin-care regime, a Nintendo leak runs dry, Elden Ring's DLC doesn't go down well and GAME to sell what, exactly?

This week we have blown over tomato plants, collapsing gazebos, how to get Steam games cheaper (just launch a class action against Valve), a Ubisoft dev can help us ignore Musk, SW: Outlaws might be boring and Xbox might get a handheld. Meanwhile one of our presenters might be getting cancelled but can you guess which one?! We also discuss Steam's recent Next Fest and the Mad(rid) Games Show! Do you lubricate your chair?

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, the video game radio show presented by Simon "Undisputed King of Comedy" Byron and Ste "Product of a Thatcherite Economy" Curran! On this week's episode we discuss the prices for Summer Games Fest, Blumhouse hit a six, Tetris now demands your blood and Ste applies for a job in a pixelated Ikea. What a load of Roblox! We also get an update on Ste and Simon's travels and hear the latest on Black Diamond along with the usual letters and reviews. Do you want to buy a treasure map??

Thanks to our podcast platform having a hiccup, everything I'd originally written and hyperlinked got wiped out but, unlike a corrupted video game save that put me off playing a game for life, I can't walk away this time so, here, these are not the greatest show notes in the world, no, these are just a tribute... This week we have, albeit briefly, the Origin Story of Why Simon is in The Shed. Kind of. There's also the usual video game related news, reviews and letters. PLEASE SEND US MORE LETTERS!!!

This week Simon briefly sounds like a robot (but it's not the mics fault, corporate overlords!) and Ste doesn't go to Buckingham Palace but, hold the front page, WE HAVE AN SSG!!! We're joined by Jupiter Hadley who tells us all about new indie game showcase Brilliant Indie Treasures which is aiming to take down Develop whilst also helping us to execute a bank heist. While those two things may fail, if they even get off the ground, Jupiter and team are definitely aiming to showcase over 50 playable, unreleased, indie games in a bank in Brighton so please do check them out. Jupiter also champions playing games for fun and not for punishment so that is certainly no bad thing! There's also Phoebe Waller-Bridge raiding some tombs, WASD report, the UK Government don't care about killing games, Xbox shift more games to PS and Take-Two haven't closed any studios, honest. Did you go to Buckingham Palace? Do you play games for "fun"?! Have you been closed by Take-Two?!? Tell us all about everything at team@onelifeleft.com and we're hoping for AT LEAST 10 letters when we come back in over a week's time, after bank holiday, so no pressure. If you loved us you'd send 10 letters. Just saying... Or join our Discord and drop us a letter there, of course. Link below!

MEANWHILE, there's a podcast edition of a certain radio show to write about! This week there's a BUMPER podcast exclusive intro which is absolutely not almost entirely an advertorial for Shure, honest! We also have Fallout games making a comeback, Nintendo divorce Twitter/X, PSN do more U-turns, Evil Empire play too much Hades 2 and Lawbreakers makes a return! Why?! Nobody is... shure... We also play GuessThe.Game and Ste reports back from Reboot and Simon uncharacteristically backs out of a joke! Please send us more letters!

Welcome, dear listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left video game radio show and another set of lovingly hand-crafted, "artisanal", show notes with zero AI influence whatsoever! This week Simon holds in his wee to bring you this show, we mention something questionable (but definitely biological so it's OK) at least twice, Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham football club (and nobody else) get promoted, games devs should get tip jars, COD players moan about something that nobody is forcing them to buy, Baldur's Gate 3 wins things and Charlesbot has some exclusive BAFTA after party gossip just for you! We also have computing memories and Ste plans to kill the games industry. Nothing major. Tell all your friends about us and get your friends to tell their friends and so on... Then everyone write us a letter!! We want so many that we can put on a Listener's Letters" special edition like what all the serious gaming podcasts do! Imagine that...

We're back after a week off due to globe trotting shenanigans aplenty! This week we have rumours from GDCs past, Simon's embarrasing embrace(r) story, Capcom are top of Metacritic/does anyone care about Metacritic anymore? Dragon's Dogma moaning, Shinobi (Guerrilla) Warfare and Ubisoft jump on the AI bandwagon! There's also a GDC 2024 report from Simon and Maraoke plus Black Diamond updates from S-T-E! We spoil you so much that we're going to take next week off to recuperate and hunt eggs. (Nah, I'm not doing the lazy "egg hunt" joke...) How much food do you think $70 should get you?

There's shenanigans afoot this week and it only dawned on me while putting these notes together of the potentially top level criminal activities afoot in the UK games industry! In amongst the weekly dose of totally innocent fare we have two seemingly unconnected stories from Simon: Peter Molyneux's car breaks down... Then Simon gets his car carjacked... Come to your own conclusions, dear listeners!! If anyone actually bothers to read these notes then I might've been too scared to even mention this - or I'll just be asked to change these notes if we're skirting too close to legal issues. It wouldn't be the first time I've Said Too Much Aaaanyway, yes, in One Life Left this week we have S-T-E not going on a long flight and he's still not a lawyer but he does continue to update his (so far) OLL Exclusive Game Black Diamond (join our Discord to play!), there's an EA Steam stealth drop, March 10th day happened again, EU check out Apple's Epic issues, Warner Brothers can't be bothered and the future of console hardware is dead. Again. Maybe. And, yes, Simon gets his car carjacked "live" on air mere days after going to a posh UKIE dinner with the great and the good of the UK games industry! (Except Peter Molyneux...) Don't forget (unless this is the first time you've heard) that there's a Resonance FM Fundraising Maraoke Special at Loading Bar Peckham in That London this coming Friday 15th March!

This week we're riddled with doom, gloom and a cheat code that blows Hot Coffee cold! Hang on tight, this one's a rollercoaster... It includes a Helldiver 2 related ruse, Balatro ratings shenanigans, beer drinking in a playground and Charlesbot shows he's somewhat out of touch with modern Mums! On the exclusive podcast intro, Simon prepares himself a delicious pot noodle-esque "meal" that may or may not involve chicken. And don't forget the Resonance FM fundraising Maraoke on Friday 15th March! Link below!

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dearest listeners!

Hello dearest listeners!

You should always take your socks gaming with you. That may or may not be the important lesson to be learned in this week's episode, or I misheard something. Possibly that. On this week's RADIO SHOW that is also a podcast (but a RADIO SHOW first and foremost) we also find out what is "confusing AF" about Bluey's Xmas episodes, Palworld copies from Pokemon shocker, 8% of all devs are working on Switch 2, PS4 outsells XSX, 100 is small, Simon bursts into song and Charlesbot tries out his Australian accent! Plus there's a test run of our new trivia quiz that may never get repeated. Winner gets a pair of socks - the perfect co-op gaming companion!

Happy New Year! We are back from a very video-game Xmas and we might all be a bit rusty after the holidays! In this episode we have Steam releasing a lot of games (though the signal to noise ratio isn't great), a 13 year old kills Tetris, Nintendo might have a new console out this year and new life is breathed into Cyberpunk 2077. Simon and Ste also share their experiences of the Meta Quest 3 with you, dear listeners, because you deserve it! Did you make any New Year Resolutions?! Tell us all about them and how many days they lasted!! Send your letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or you could join our Discord and leave a letter for us on there. Link below!

On the last show before Christmas Ste and Simon gave to me A real, live, talking SSG! That's right, dear listeners! You've been good this year, mostly, so you get an SSG in the form of Andrew Smith from Spilt Milk Studios, here to talk all about Trash Goblin, amongst other things! There's also Game Awards "excitement", vegan gangsters, a zombie MMO that might not be an MMO (and definitely isn't now), Sega takes ages going back to old games, we play a quick game of Steam Top Trumps and Fortnite ramps up their attempt at world domination. All in this bumper Christmas issue of One Life Left! Maraoke did Jingle Jam!! If you missed it, that's OK coz the lovely folks at Yogscast have put it on their YouTube channel - all 2 hours and 44 minutes of it! Link is below... There may also still be time for you to get a ticket for the Maraoke Xmas Party 2023, happening on Saturday 16th December at Loading Peckham, here: maraoke.com/xmas Will our mailbag be as full as Santa's sack by the time we return?? We'd like to think so but we'll be realistic as we all know Santa only comes once a year! Please send your letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join us and other listeners on our Discord and leave a letter on there. Link below! Hope you have a good Xmas and all the best for 2024!

This week stuff happened. What stuff? Well you could just listen to the episode to find out OR maybe you're reading this at some point in the future when there are thousands of OLL episodes and you're searching through the notes, trying to find something specific... Hello, listeners from the far flung future! How is your commercially viable rocket-pack? Are you living on Mars? In this episode you will find that Simon hates books, Ste talks sausages, Rockstar devs have leaky offspring, PlayStation cause a content licensing/ownership stir and Yorkshire Tea think you'll spend £150 on one of their branded controllers... WHY?? It doesn't even come with any of their teabags!! Anyway... In the latest Tales From Japan we see our intrepid pair (plus Responsible Adult) take on the Nintendo Store in full Supermarket Sweep style! Meanwhile Maraoke does Jingle Jam! On Friday 8th December at 5pm GMT (according to the Yogscast schedule) we will be LIVE on the Jingle Jam Twitch Stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/yogscast There's also a LIVE and IN PERSON Maraoke/OLL Xmas Party on Saturday 16th December at Loading Peckham and you can get your tickets here: maraoke.com/xmas Does your Mum and/or Dad work for Rockstar?

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! In this episode Ste confuses a Royal Mail employee LIVE ON AIR, Simon has a new laptop that doesn't seem as bad as strangers on the internet make it out to be, Ubisoft assassinates Assassin's Creed pop-up ads, Gamemaker goes free (for some), Fortnite to have a Big Bang, Activision watch what you watch and we ponder past PR pop-ups. Meanwhile, in a world where it seems to be getting more acceptable to put Xmas decorations up in November, we have the second of our features that absolutely nobody is calling Tales from Japan that sees our dynamic duo (plus Responsible Adult) visit an arcade. In Japan, obviously. What happened, dear listeners? I thought we were friends?? How come you don't write to us anymore?!? Why don't you send us some "media recommendations" or tell us if you know what "the dogs are barking" means at team@onelifeleft.com.
