This week Anna & Paul have a particularly casual conversation, looking back at all the CGG episodes from 2023, and then using their mouths to create sounds that are often- but not always- words, and then the goal here is that you like the words they say, which are again, inspired from them looking at past episodes and should potentially encapsulate feelings about said episodes.

After 5 years and 200 episodes this year has been a year of milestones. It was also the year we did a live interview with Tony Warriner at Reboot Develop Blue in Dubrovnik, where we hosted a panel for the first time at AdventureX and where we had none other than Roberta Williams on the podcast. Oh and we were nominated for the People's choice Podcast awards! This year the team also expanded to help review even more games for your listening pleasure. So to celebrate these achievements let's listen back to some of the highlights from this podcast for the past year. And stay tuned as there will be plenty more to look forward to in 2024!

This week Anna & Paul discuss things, using words. Mangia! Okay fine. They talk about interfaces, gooey's and unique game mechanics! What do I mean? Unclear! Okay okay, for starters, gooey is neat for GUI's which is less nerdy for Graphical User Interfaces. And by interfaces I mean Text Parser, 9 Verb, 2-Click, Sierra Point and Click, Verb Coin and maybe more. And by unique mechanics, well they look at innovative gameplay mechanics used in adventures games such as Resonance, Whispers of a Machine and others- look at some point you're just gonna have to listen to it, this is as far as I can take you.

My guest today is Digital Curator for Contemporary Collections at The British Library. After graduating from Aberystwyth University with a degree in Library Studies and Art History, my guest was awarded an MA in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester.Then, having worked as curator of maps at the National Library of Scotland, my guest joined the British library, and began to devise creative reuses of digital collections, including via video games. This work has led to collaborations with The National Videogame Museum, AdventureX, International Games Month in Libraries and on research projects with UCL's Institute of Education, and Lancaster University's Litcraft initiative, which builds literary worlds in Minecraft.Exhibition: Digital Storytelling - The British Library (bl.uk)Events Series: Digital Storytelling events - The British Library (bl.uk) Thank you for listening to My Perfect Console.

“I had all of the things and yet, I was at this point where I didn't want to live.” I believe this is one of the most important episodes of Stay Grounded I’ve ever recorded. Suicide is a big killer among men my age and there’s a common thread - we don’t know how to talk about depression or feelings of isolation, or how to ask for help and support during dark times. When I first met Chris Plough, I was deeply moved by his depth of empathy, care, and sensitivity. This is a man who’s experienced suicide from both sides. Not only has he been close to taking his own life - the first time at age just 16 - but he lost both his parents in a homicide-suicide. In this vulnerable conversation, Chris shares the emotions involved and what it actually feels like to have suicidal tendencies. He also explains the tangible steps we can all take to help someone transform their suicidal thoughts into something beautiful. “Empathetic witness is just being able to be present with somebody and allow them to share what they're going through and care without judgment.” Suicide is a taboo, and it shouldn’t be. Fortunately, Chris found support from an empathetic friend, which helped to kick-start a journey of compassion and unconditional self-love. Now we can all learn from his experiences - so we’re better positioned to support people who need it… because no one is alone. In this beautiful episode, Chris and I explore: What is self-love? The role of patience in your self-love journey. The story of the list and how it can prevent suicide attempts. How to be an empathetic listener. The three isolation creators.How to share suicidal thoughts to help a listener receive them. The difference between conditional and unconditional love.How best to respond if you can’t be an empathetic listener when someone asks.Using self-care to honor yourself and avoid dark places. How to dismantle the cages we put ourselves in. What your vulnerability can invite in others. And more…Chris is on a mission to ‘Liberate Humanity’. He’s doing this through his work at AdventureX where he creates experiences that provide space and freedom for people. He’s also a sought-after speaker who makes space to be an empathetic witness for people who need it. “When you're feeling those things in that darkness - shame, guilt, not wanting to burden others - those create this isolation that makes you believe you're actually alone.” How to contact Check out Chris’ work at https://chrisplough.comExplore Chris’ role as an empathetic witness - chrisplough.com/I-am-listeningWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

In this bonus New Years Eve episode of the year Seoirse shares two AdventureX interviews he did in November. First up is Tom Simpson, developer of Feria D’arles as he talks in more detail about the game and reveals a rather curious way he came up with the idea. Next is Yakir Israel, developer of Plot of the Druid as he reveals what he’s concocting with this game and what his plans are for the game in the coming year.A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the podcast in the past year and we will be back in a few days with our Game of the Year episode!Feria D'Arles Official Site Steam Plot of the Druids Official Site SteamIf you enjoyed this episode and would like to hear more interviews with more adventure game developers then please subscribe, rate and review wherever you listen to podcasts.You can also support the podcast at our PatreonMore details about this podcast here:www.adventuregamespodcast.comYou can find links to my social media links here:Facebook Twitter Instagram Discord You can also listen to this podcast on Itunes and Spotify and all other major Podcast Platforms!You can also find the RSS feed here: http://www.adventuregamespodcast.com/podcast?format=rssAdventure Game Podcasts logo by Jake Vest.

After a couple of virus-related delays (that's the biological kind, not the computer kind), this fortnight's episode of Argue the Toss has finally arrived. This week Chella and Drew recount their favourite experiences from this year's , the UK's only convention dedicated to narrative-driven gaming.
In this AdventureX special, Seoirse, Laura and Tomas recap their experience with AdventureX and discuss the latest news and the games and emos they managed to get their hands on. From a text parser game set in Ontario to a game where you play as a marionette attempting to escape a cruel circus master, there was something for everyone and we’re here to give the lowdown on which games could be hits!AdventureX GamesFeria D'Arles Steam PagePlot of the Druid Steam PageJustin Wack KickstarterMystery of Woolley Mountain Collectors USB CassetteSuper Inconvenience Mart KickstarterIf you enjoyed this episode and would like to hear more interviews with more adventure game developers then please subscribe, rate and review wherever you listen to podcasts.You can also support the podcast at our PatreonMore details about this podcast here:www.adventuregamespodcast.comYou can find links to my social media links here:FacebookTwitterInstagramDiscordYou can also listen to this podcast on Itunes and Spotify and all other major Podcast Platforms!You can also find the RSS feed here:http://www.adventuregamespodcast.com/podcast?format=rssAdventure Game Podcasts logo by Jake Vest.

This week I speak with Alasdair Beckett-King, developer of the Nelly Cootalot games and creator of the comedy pirate adventure genre (ahem!). We speak about adventure games, 3d versus 2D, and also a little about his games. He also talks about his involvement as one of the organisers of the yearly AdventureX conference in London and he explains everything you need to know applying to exhibit your game, give a talk and everything in between!Links:Nelly Cootalot Official SiteUnforeseen Incidents Official SiteAlasdair Beckett King Official SiteAdventureX 2019Quantic Dream games on EpicArgonus and the Gods of StoneDemons Never Lie KickstarterAntenna Dilemma Mac and LinuxGrunnd Demo September 23 2019Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with LoveClam Man SteamIf you enjoyed this episode and would like to hear more interviews with more adventure game developers then please subscribe, rate and review wherever you listen to podcasts.More details about this podcast here:www.adventuregamespodcast.comYou can find links to my social media links here:FacebookTwitterInstagramDiscordYou can also listen to this podcast on Itunes and Spotify and all other major Podcast Platforms!You can also find the RSS feed here:http://www.adventuregamespodcast.com/podcast?format=rssAdventure Game Podcasts logo by Jake Vest.

Und so singe der Chorus of Light: Oh Herr, Gibbouns, deinen future Flashbaeckern, unser taeglich Unicorn. Aber roeckzizoecki! Und er antwortete: Not tonight!
