You thought our podcasts were long up until now? Well, do we have a treat for you! 4hrs of birthday celebrations, where Dan, Tom and Pete sit down and spend some time with almost everyone who's ever been a guest on the show before! 5 interviews, one for each year we've been talking sh!t and drinking beer! Oh, and a lengthy but suprisingly in-depth chat towards the end about the evolution of FPS video games throughout our lives. Need we mention a massive 21 beers reviewed? Thankfully not in one sitting though, lol. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it; and if you've been around for a while, a HUGE thanks for keeping us on the virtual air-waves for this long. Here's to the next 5 years!

Wowsers, how did our podcast hit 5 years already?! Well, we certainly aren't going to pass up an opportunity to celebrate, so while Tom is galivanting around the US we invite very special guest Ben Campbell from Bar 1989 to join us.

Welcome to a whole new season! From PSVR2, reviews of Candy Man (the movie) and Battlestar Galactica Deadlock (the game) to Venom: Let There be Carnage, Deep Rock, Plauge Tale and Mafia 3, we also cover all the latest movie trailers before going deep into a debate about what makes an Open World style game great (as opposed to all the crap ones out there!)

We had a plan for what we wanted to cover in this episode, but just like the year we spent the episode saying goodbye to, the plans went out the window really darn fast! So, join us for an epic (and I do mean off the wall drunken epic) monstrously long episode as we look back at the mess that was 2021! And, for the first time in what feels like a whole year, we recorded in person to boot! There's swearing, there's offensive language (it's just plain old offensive too!), there's pop culture discussion, and there's a crazy line-up of non-stop Imperial Stouts and Strong Ales! It's retrospective, it's slightly introspective, but darned if any of us really know what we talked about - we haven't had a chance to listen to it back yet, and we sure as hell don't remember the night!

In an episode plagued by technical issues (Tom's NBN just never seems to want to play nice; and Pete discovered that highly sensitive mic amp + crappy XLR cables = AM radio antenna...). But hey, here we are with our Christmas Episode! We discuss Witcher Season 2, a full and detailed review of the Dune movie, the latest video game awards, just a touch on Hawkeye so far, Cowboy Bebop, Star Wars Eclipse, and so very much more!

Yep, maturity levels waned for the naming of this episode - it's our 69th after all! So, with Tom galivanting around for a wedding, Dan and I sit down for an intimate episode together.

Another huge remote episode! Dan finally watches Free Guy so we take a deep-dive, Pete reviews Another Life, we review all the trailers and teasers from this year's DC Fandome (as disappointing as they were), and we end with an in-depth discussion of attaching RL events to video games you played while experiencing them.

It was a pretty slow fortnight for news, so we got stuck into some interesting topics instead: Star Wars Visions, Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, God of War (2018), and Days Gone all got solid and thorough reviews.
