This week Ste takes over summer and Simon is 'fine'. We don't have an SSG but we do have two men trying to find something on Steam 'live' on air! There's also Netflix doing games (still, in case you forgot), a rival to The Sims, Ninten-DO let you swap digital games, Ninten-DO have a 'C' button on Switch 2, GTA6 keeps up the hype and The Art of Video Game Design looks at streaks and milestones!

Meanwhile in our exclusive podcast intro we have EXCLUSIVE Switch 2 speculation mere hours ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct!

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...?)
Groundshatter Maraoke report
The Art of Video Game Design covers loot boxes
Did you know the available episodes of OLL online go aaaaaaaaallll the way back to 2007 (10/10/07 to be exact - spooky) so you can go back in time with us and see how the world has changed. It was, indeed, a different time...

Which games conferences are you looking forward to? Have you played Undertale? Are you passionate about Star Wars: Hunters?? What is a rogue like like when a rogue like likes rogue likes? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and write to us on there. Link below!

And, lo, for it is true: One Life Left have our second Super Special Guest in a row on today's show! For we are this day thus joined by Andy Robertson, video game journo and founder of Family Gaming Database, here to talk about Kickstarter hell with Ludoscene which, if you're very quick, you might still have time to back HERE!!!

And it is told that should One Life Left get three SSGs in a row then the skies will turn as dark as your mobile phone on dark theme and the seas will be a bit choppy and not great to swim in. So it is said, so shall it be...

Sorry about that. As well as all that we've got Switch 2 tech details, $100 for GTA6 and Jackbox games get smart (TV) plus letters, reviews and more! We also have another Maraoke coming up on Friday 14th March at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington High Street, London. Tickets available HERE!!

Sneaking a quick message in for my cats: Happy Birthday, Rocket & Logan! 10 years old today! Where has the time gone etc etc... not that they'll understand a word of this but it's the thought that counts.

Has Balatro (or any game) annoyed you? Do you have 10 minutes to watch a game trailer?? Have you lost your internet banking details, or found Simon's??? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord and leave a letter for us on there - 100% guaranteed
to leave you with a warm sense of achievement. Link below!

This week we're joined by James Parker of Ground Shatter to talk all about their new game, Knights in Tight Spaces. While I'm linking things, here's another that will take you straight to the KiTS Steam page:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2315400/Knights_in_Tight_Spaces/

There's also Ste's holiday memories, Simon's leaking house, toothfairy rates, lots of people playing Monster Hunter Wilds, old skool games about old skool films, CharlesBot appears to have problems talking about VR and OLL are still very much open to selling out - contact us for rates! Will cats fighting during the reviews section see a sudden spike in listeners?? Check back next week to find out...

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the show that doesn't know when to quit!! This week we have PSN going down and some Sony customers over-reacting, Football Manager 2025 getting a red-card and some FM fans over-reacting, Troy Baker beating AI and... nobody over-reacting... I don't think...

Meanwhile, here's another reminder that ResonanceFM, our home on the radio waves, are running their annual fundraiser right now so please check out their fundraising page and help out, if at all possible: https://fundraiser.resonance.fm/ There will be a fundraising Maraoke event from us on Friday 14th March, more details to come... (unless they've already been posted on Bluesky by the time you're reading this...)

Let us try with all our might, dearest listeners, to get some momentum going with these letters! Keep them coming, please!

This week the boys have been "down the darts" and "down the football" and generally leaning into their blokeyness in blokey ways but then it's all back to "normal" for another episode of the One Life Left radio show! (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! We also have the welcome return of Sega Badawi with the local news and ANOTHER OLL Nintendo Switch 2 "exclusive"!

Speaking of radio shows - Our beloved home, ResonanceFM, are currently having their fundraiser for 2025 so please check out their fundraising page and help out, if at all possible: https://fundraiser.resonance.fm/

We still have an upcoming Maraoke event in London (being run for "reasons" on a Steam Deck, apparently) on Saturday 8th Feb, tickets available HERE

Am I going to have to come around and chuck all your consoles/computers into the canal?! SEND US MORE LETTERS!!! Pretty please. Tell us what is going on! Who the hell is Claude?? Zap letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord and join in the "fun" on there. Link below!

Welcome, dearest listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left RADIO SHOW because, first and foremost, it is a radio show on ResonanceFM, our faithful home since neolithic times. ResonanceFM are currently having their fundraiser for 2025 so please check out their fundraising page and help out, if at all possible: https://fundraiser.resonance.fm/

Meanwhile, on this week's episode, Ste's going to UKIE (maybe with magic tricks), Simon renamed the Northern Line (OK, just the one station), Sega want your deets, video game prices only going up, digital winning, Switch 2 - finally - and Video Game History Foundation do Good Stuff!! We also have our report from Pocket Gamer Connects, which includes a bad bouncer at The Piano Works, and EXCLUSIVELY reveal the Switch 2 release date. Maybe.

DO NOT FORGET - Simon has challenged all of you to a game of darts. Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough etc etc. Hop on to Discord and start trash talking*. PLUS there's that Maraoke in London on Saturday 8th Feb, tickets available HERE

Seriously we need more letters. Please. I'm going to have to start posting more stuff on social media about this, aren't I? For starters you could tell us which tube stations you would rename, in a video game stylee. Send your missives to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord and leave a letter for us on there.

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!

Meanwhile next week the boys are off to Pocket Gamer Connects in that London so, if you're there or thereabouts, hunt them down! Simon is also open to any and all challenges to his darts supremacy from all our listeners - give him a shout on our Discord server and a link to his magic dart board is in the review links below!

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!)

Meanwhile we also have a crazy number of Steam games in 2024, Atari teasing a new handheld, Rockstar have bins and Notch teasing Minecraft fans. There's also a date for the next Maraoke (Saturday 8th February, might have a link next week...) and Block Words hits iOS! And I've been saying "BLOCKWORDS" all this time, what a fool!

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?! Zap them to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord and have a good ol' chinwag over there. Link below!

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...

Meanwhile Maraoke will be hitting the Jingle Jam stream on December 7th and don't forget the Maraoke Xmas Party which is on Friday 13th December at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington High St. Tickets are available NOW: https://maraoke.com/xmas2024

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!! Yes please!

Meanwhile, why on earth is Simon's wife sending photos to Ste?!? Listen to find out!!

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)!

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 have more licence "owning" shenanigans, speculate over top secrets at Nintendo (who have also just invented the alarm clock), Konami get cosy with FIFA, Ste had general anaesthetic AND created a bot while Simon had a board meeting.

This week Field Commander Byron starts a war against TIGA (maybe), Ubisoft shares take a nosedive and Nintendo sues on the Daly, amongst many other things, gaming and non-gaming related. Meanwhile I run out of time to write what I wanted to write but, trust me, it was going to be amazing!

Meanwhile we also ponder how to pronounce Godot, question how many more lamp-posts the PS5 Pro will give us and apologise for the lack of Switch 2 news last week, amongst other things...

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!

There's also part 1 of what is possibly a one part series from Simon on "How to Set Up a Political Party" in our exclusive, unbannable, podcast intro!

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!

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.

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!!! Fire them at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and write to us on there, link below!

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!

(In all seriousness, I used to use Shure mics back when I was in a band and again when doing production work and they're really very good so... yeah... worth a look!)

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! Maybe buy a Shure mic, using our link, then write to tell us how much you love it?! Just a suggestion... Send your letters to team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord, drop a letter there AND get to play future OLL published game Black Diamond! Link below!

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!!

Hello listener! PhilBot here with this week's show notes for this week's show! On this week's podcast episode of One Life Left, Europe's first and only dedicated videogames FM radio show, the conversation includes:

1) Portugese Football Shops.
2) Apple Welcome Retro Emulators Back.
3) Microsoft Meddling with AI Support Bots.
4) Roblox Development Not Exploitation.
5) Absolute nonsense (From BAFTA).

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...)

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! Link for tickets and further details is below!

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! In this week's fun filled episode we discover that Xbox exclusives are no longer exclusives, Capcom go down the "better late than never" route for apologies, Doom is finally playable on a lawnmower and then there's something about Suicide Squad. In the podcast exclusive intro we discuss 'that' trailer... you know the one...

Meanwhile we have a deep dive into games development as we find out more about another game that Ste has released into the wild (via our EXCLUSIVE OLL Discord server... link below!) See, you really are missing out if you're not on there...

Friday 15th March - you're going to be at the Resonance FM Fundraising Maraoke event at Loading Bar, Peckham, yeah? Course you are because you're a wonderful human (that's not to say you're not wonderful if for some reason you can't be here, it's just that wonderful humans go to Maraoke events, innit...)

Hello dearest listeners! This week in the podcast edition of the world's longest running (English language) video game radio show we have dangerous tree cutting, gaming based anxiety nightmares, children tell jokes, more Nintendo speculation and crazy price tag defence. Plus is it overtime or extra time and does anyone really care?

*Warning* The podcast exclusive intro contains swears. The actual show might also have swears though we tried to BEEP them all. Just putting it out there in case anyone likes to listen to the show within earshot of young and/or impressionable people or if you're young and/or impressionable yourself. And if you listen to the show before reading these notes, well, we apologise for any offence caused.

Do you have people who know? Or do you have a business dream or anxiety nightmare that you'd like us to analyse?? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our dedicated Discord server where we have experts standing by 24/7! Link below!

This week in your single video game podcast that releases a single episode per week (most of the time) that covers industry news, new releases (often) and has smart thoughts and analysis (we try), we have Cliff Bleszinski waiting on a call from Microsoft, Ste cancels Netflix in anger, Hideaki Itsuno doesn't like fast travel and the Switch successor brags an 8" (screen). We also have a Pocket Gamer report and Charlesbot points the finger at fat cat bosses!
Plus in our exclusive podcast intro section, Simon gives us a history of Phillip Schofield while Ste shows us a "behind the curtain" view of virtual studio use and the perils therein!

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!

Things are getting dangerously low on the letters front, dear listeners! Beat those January blues by writing us a missive to team@onelifeleft.com. Or come and join us in our OLL Discord and pop a letter for us on there. Link below!

Hello! It's show time once again! And this show is hangry. Or Simon is, at least. This week we have a Past Guest Postmortem, Steam breaks records again, Sony drive a car, Altec Lansing guess things, Valve clamp down on AI, there's something about Suicide Squad and Ste gets a new controller. One Life Left: Consistently consistent since 2006!

Meanwhile there's another Maraoke! It's on Monday 22nd January at Pocket Gamer in London and you can get tickets from here: https://lu.ma/34n830m9 Tickets are limited so don't think about it, do it!

Have you got any virtual studio recommendations for us? Do you know what the Rabbit R1 does?? Or are you happy to wildly speculate, at least? If so then fire your missives in our direction at team@onelifeleft.com. Or slide into our Discord and drop us a note on there. Link below!

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!

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

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.

Welcome back, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week I, Phil the Undercaretaker, try not to get jealous as we hear Part I of (kind of new feature, I suppose) Tales from Japan! (I need to work on that title... it was a last minute decision...) Meanwhile we discover just who the heck Jonathan Smith is and why he's the Responsible Adult. There's also Simon in a plane toilet, Ste still being jetlagged, Charlesbot getting annoyed by Geoff Keighley, people exchange money, scalpers have love for the PS Portal, DLC thoughts and a 25 year old game gets an update! Woo!

Do you play inappropriate video games in public? What is Simon paralyzed by?? Will we find out next week?!? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or jump into a jet plane and fly across to our Discord to chat and leave a letter on there. Link below!

This week we might mention that we're going to Japan. Did we mention that we're going to Japan? Well, we're going to Japan. In fact, by the time you read this we'll be up in the air or there already! Excitement!!! Anyway, besides all that, in this episode we have Simon's squeaky chair, Ste's dislike of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, an accidental bank account shutdown, a game is too hot for Microsoft and Nintendo, lots of people play Fortnite again, Lords of the Fallen gets harder and Modern Warfare gets forced on people. Kind of.

How many pairs of pants do you take on holiday? How many bank accounts have you opened this week?? What are the account details and your Mum's maiden name??

We suffered some technical issues not of our making yet again this week, folks, so apologies in advance for any drop in quality you may experience. You'll be hearing a few apologies during the show, too, though I (Phil the Undercaretaker) will hold my hand up and say that I don't think it's all that bad. It certainly could've been worse... and, admittedly, if I'd edited out much more then all the apologies and some of the in-show comments wouldn't have made much sense so... there we go.

Despite all that, we still have a bumper show for you! This week we hear about Ste's Challenging Weekend(TM), we get a cheese explosion update and Simon speculates on a Switch 2 launch date (he was right about F-Zero so get to the bookies!) We also have a big week in GTA history, Ste's cat behaves weirdly, Blizzard are out for blood, we learn how to smell like Shadow Moses Island and Simon gets so cross about Dreamlight Valley that he breaks the internet!

Have you ever been sailed down the Thames as part of a PR stunt? If so then write to us at team@onelifeleft.com and tell us all about it. Regular correspondence is also welcomed. You can also join our Discord server and post a letter for us there. Link below!

Is Simon wearing trousers? Is he a firestarter, a twisted firestarter?! Is any of this real any more? Maybe I'm AI and haven't even realised. Maybe we're all programmed by Ste! I think this has been considered before... I must need a defrag. Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week we find out whose logo is biggest, Skull Island: Rise of Kong battles is up for worst game of the year but it's what's inside that counts and Netflix consider swooping for GTA. There's also another dose of ClickMate and the team ponder adventures in Japan. The excitement is building!

Welcome once again to another episode of the One Life Left podcast! This week we have games making Ste poorly, Simon goes to EGX, hackers do hacking, kittens cause minor distraction, Joe Cornish's tv/radio hosting advice, Chris Conroy hangs around in Regent's Park, Molyneux uh oh and All The Mechanics! Plus the MS/Activision 100 Year Saga IS FINALLY OVER!!!! Possibly. Until something else happens. It's a bumper show! There's also more of that new feature from Simon that doesn't officially have a name yet (ClickMate?) so I'll continue to unimaginatively call it Simon Swipes Right. We've got more of that.

Hello listeners. Ste here, because Undertaker Phil's computer has stopped working. In this episode: two old men talk about videogames. That's basically it but if you need more detail I've got you: Ste's clothing choice surprises Simon, Charlesbot yells the news over some slightly too loud audio, Animal Crossing causes emotional and financial problems, Simon's new feature returns (it needs a name) and there's one (ONE) letter from the ever-dependable Chris Conroy. We need more letters. Send us a letter.

Discord link: http://hello.onelifeleft.com (there's a link to Ste's new game in there, but we don't talk about that on the show)

OK. That's everything. I'm serious about the letters and we also need a name for Simon's feature AND suggestions for things to do in Tokyo, which is fast approaching. You've got a lot on your to-do list but thanks for listening. We love you. See you soon xoxo.

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left! We're not on Twitch this week but we have just as much fun! We look at the state of the industry in light of the bad news from Sega, and others, Cyberpunk 2077 has a mission killer that you can still pay £25 quid for, Charlesbot applies for Jim Ryan's job at Sony and Ste has kittens! Plus Simon swipes right in a new feature that currently has no name and I'll continue to call it "Simon Swipes Right" until YOU, dear listeners, write in with a name for it!

There's another Maraoke for you, too! On Friday 13th October (we laugh in the face of superstitions!) at The Caf, Canary Wharf, London from 7pm. A link for tickets is below!

Well, what can I say?! Last week we had an OLL EXCLUSIVE and we didn't even realise it! We proved the old F-Zero rule wrong and Simon correctly announced the F-Zero news before Nintendo did! Witchcraft?! This week Simon holds the fort while Ste gallivants around London, calling in from random places and avoiding being mugged. Simon isn't alone, though - he's joined once more by Super Special Guest Tony Gowland, here to talk about the launch of his new game: Dungeon Golf (out now!)

There's also iPhone 15 Pro info, CharlesBot getting very ranty about F-Zero, far fewer technical hiccups than you might imagine would happen and a Unity royalty fee spree, see? Plus letters, reviews and don't forget we have a Maraoke event in Bristol next Wednesday 27th September. A link is below!

This week, dear listeners, the show is driven by two things: Pure scandal, from the offset, by one of your beloved hosts and, of course, Starfield, because we can't not cover the hottest gaming topic at the moment. It may last a few weeks. We'll see. Regarding the scandal - hop onto our Discord server IF YOU DARE for an exclusive screenshot of the incident that our press office had to work their socks off to avoid hitting the tabloids! Warning: it's not for those of a nervous disposition!

Beyond that there's Nintendo in a "will they/won't they reveal anything about F-Zero ever again" shocker (remember the rule: it's always never F-Zero...) and Charlesbot has a lot to think about regarding the possibility of a Broken Sword exclusivity deal...

There's also Maraoke info!! We have a Maraoke for you coming up in Bristol on Wednesday 27th September. A link for info and tickets is below.

Why do people keep ringing doorbells at lunchtime? Do we really believe Ste was just "looking for his phone"?? Let us know what you think and hurl your questions plus suggestions for our impending Twitch show to team@onelifeleft.com or leave letters/suggestions/etc on our Discord. Link below!

Welcome back, dearest listeners, to a new season of One Life Left: the podcast edition of the video game radio show! Hope you've had a great summer! This week we tell you all about our adventures over the past month or so, especially at Gamescom, plus there's topless Ste shenanigans, Starfield in early access (though it'll definitely be out by the time you read this, anyway), Sony shares skyrocketing, Charlesbot wrestling with PlayStation Portal prices and overheard conversations...

Meanwhile, as an exclusive for our beloved podcast fans, the intro includes details of our upcoming appearance on the Yogscast Twitch channel for another Pickaxe Podcast Week type thing - if it hasn't already been officially announced then it has now! We will be live on September 26th and we need you to email in and tell us what to actually do! As well as joining us on the day etc...

This is it, dear listeners - the LAST SHOW EVER (this season)! And what a belter we have for you this week... we have Simon throwing a ball over a house (see our Discord for unquestionable proof), rebuilding Gameboys, Charlesbot plays Hunt the Pikachu with Wifebot, Microsoft might finally be killing the "Gamepass Ultimate Upgrade Hack", Nintendo DS charger difficulties, Ste goes to the PC Zone 30th Birthday bash and The Adventures of TV John (which is arguably better than the last two Indiana Jones films put together). Plus all the usual video game related news, letters and reviews!

Meanwhile, did Simon call Ste 'Steve'? This is the end of season cliffhanger that everyone will be discussing all through summer! Fire your letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com or hop onto our Discord and leave a letter for us there, as well as joining in the chat with other like-minded listeners! Letters may/may not win a prize, you never know! Link below!

In this week's challenging episode, Charlesbot 1.1 fries a circuit when dealing with the MS/Activision resolution(?) news story and almost breaks the show, if not the very internet! Being the professionals that we are, we battle on and wrestle with an easy access battery future, the Gex trilogy coming out again and lots of Develop stuff! We also have an unboxing of the Data Frog SF2000 handheld console and we discover what Simon really thinks of Ste!! (Jingles were added in post, should anyone be confused by talk about them not working...)

Next week is the last episode before the Summer holidays so it'll be non-uniform and everyone can bring in a game or toy to play with.

With a title like that, dear listeners, you'd think this was some sort of RPG special episode but it is not. I can only apologise for misselling it like that, and doubly so to any new listeners, maybe RPG fans, who jumped on board only to find a distinct dearth of goblin, or even orc, slaying action.

No, in this episode you will instead learn about turning a drum machine off with your foot, that circuses/circii no longer have smoking bears, Zen and the Art of Releasing Games (which would've been the title but we have a corporate identity to uphold and it wouldn't fit on the graphic) and how not to redact text OR how to redact text badly and (possibly) lose your job!

Welcome, dear listeners, new and experienced, to another episode of One Life Left! This week we learn the perils of recording during a work day as spam callers try to sabotage the show. Repeatedly! There's also Sony moaning about Activision secrets, E3 uncertainty, Super Mario causes Simon some problems and Ste had the flu! Meanwhile, in the Exclusive Podcast Intro, there's the latest OLL financial report! We missed our lunch hour for this!! We hope you're entertained...

Tickets for the Maraoke event in Brighton on Tuesday 11th July are selling like a Nintendo console on launch day so be sure to grab your tickets before they run out. Link below! Ste is also running his own style of mini convention in Brighton earlier that day: F-Up Con (or maybe Eff-Up Con... I'm avoiding the obvious swear, here) which will likely take place on the beach in the afternoon. If you're interested in discussing your game dev related failures with other like-minded individuals then reach out to Ste somehow. Either email us or hunt him down on Twitter at @steishere

Who walks their dog/s outside your house? What games do you play when you're ill?? What was contained within "The Missing Discord Letter"??? (two of us briefly saw it before it vanished so it did exist...) Drop us an email to let us know at team@onelifeleft.com or bob along to our Discord and drop a (non-disappearing) letter there.

This episode, dear listeners, we find out the latest chapter in The Life Of Simon's Steam Deck - what you hear might shock you! Also, yes, I might've thrown the word "Zelda" into the title to see if it affects download numbers BUT we do a deep dive into the latest Zelda game and why it may or may not be for YOU. Or just what Simon and Ste think, anyway.

Meanwhile, we discover Simon only has two hands, Ste can't be hurt anymore, Yuji Naka plays The Escapists for research purposes (maybe) and The Lord of the Rings must always have TM at the end (possibly) but Gollum is still bad. No, really. He's an evil character with no real redemptive arc. He just goes along with things and destroys the ring accidentally through his own desire to own it! What do you mean you didn't know that? The book is 68-9 years old and the last movie came out almost 20 years ago, it's not a spoiler anymore! Next you'll be saying you never knew Rosebud was a sled and the cake was a lie! Ah, who am I kidding - nobody reads this anyway!

There's also more news, reviews and A letter. Please write to us. We miss your letters. Send them to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and drop a letter to us on there as well as being able to chat with other, like-minded, OLL listeners. Link below!

From Simon's trampolining skills and Fast Five Favourite Golf Games to Ste's love of cricket and impending trip to Wembley to see Stockport County FC, this is very much The Sport Episode! Apart from when it's a Zelda Episode... and a Sinden Lightgun Episode... But still mainly Sport. Welcome to One Life Left, a radio show/podcast about video games! To prove that we also discuss a game price push back, Zelda selling 10million units in 3 days, Disney tweaking Speedstorm, "exclusive" details from the upcoming 2023 PlayStation Showcase, backseat gaming and Mortal Kombat Discord Discourse. Ste also goes tops off in the exclusive podcast intro. We spoil you!

Welcome once again, dearest listeners, to another episode of One Life Left. A video game radio show and "home" of Mortal Kombat news! This week we talk about a new game about 80's puppet sensation Terrahawks' main baddie, Zelda, there's MTV Awards shenanigans, Asus has a Steam Deck rival, Simon builds a terrifying trampoline terrifyingly and, yes, the MS/Activision deal is still crawling along. It just won't go away. Like COVID! Which reminds me... this is the 100th episode since the first "Lockdown" edition!! Wow... how far we've come, eh listeners?!

Meanwhile we have an SSG in the form of James Parker from Ground Shatter, here to talk about Fights in Tight Spaces coming to Playstation and Switch, fact checking Mortal Kombat news and DLC teasing, amongst many other things...

There's also another Maraoke coming up on Saturday 20th May at Sub Zero in That London. All the deets at the link below!

The original 15 minutes of this episode was so hilarious, so gut-punchingly incendiary and close to the bone that MI5 burst through all our doors, closed the whole thing down and made us start again from scratch. At gunpoint. Like anyone would believe that Ste could forget to press the record button after 17 years of doing this?! Ha! We're just too edgy and dangerous for The Man! Welcome to the latest episode of One Life Left - video game related radio show, podcast and the cool kid all your parents warned you about. Yeah.

This week's Super Special Guest is Tony Gowland, here to talk about upcoming game Dungeon Golf, public playtests, solving the Rubik's Cube and The King! We also deal with Phil Spencer admitting defeat, upcoming RPG Street Fighter 6 aiming for 10 million sales, Respawn apologising for Jedi's acting badly and Karl Urban plays Mortal Kombat 2... or something. Then there's more news, letters, reviews and general edginess than you can shake a stick at.

Have you been sent emails with "flesh" in them? Are you also called 'Simon Byron'?? Do you just have a video game related ponderance and/or query??? Well, please do fire them to us at team@onelifeleft.com or step into our Discord and leave a message there. Link below!

Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left, the podcast edition of the video game radio show that is occasionally actually about video games! This week we even have a Super Special Guest: (almost veteran) Steve Hollis from Noisy Head Games! Here to talk about Beyond the Long Night (out now!) and the fact that he won at Easter this year with his Super Special Egg that included chunky dinosaurs! We also have Sega going angry birdwatching, cheese straw inflation, Super Mario & Nintendo troll Maraoke and Charlesbot v1.0 speaks elvish for YOU for FREE!!

Meanwhile, find out where the cheapest place to pre-order Tears of the Kingdom is. The answer will astonish you! Who, me? Being click-baity?! Never...

Tickets for our next Maraoke event are already available and we're not even out of April yet! It's on Saturday 20th May at Sub-Zero - link down below!

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! It's like the first day of Spring has finally landed, with Sega blue skies, the sound of birdsong and happy gunshots ringing in the air around OLL Towers! We're joined by another NewsBot (3.0?!) as Ste has been busy in his lab, tinkering away to make the bot more *alive*! This week E3 is no more (this year), The Last of Us PC port makes NewsBot cross despite everything being better on the Steam Deck and new features are revealed on Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that get universal thumbs up in the Byron household. There are also Bafta award shenanigans, games getting released unfinished, Simon travels through time to publish the world's best game and Ste, I dunno, goes to the moon. Meanwhile the integrity of my notes is called into question, dear listener! Would I lie to you?!

There's also a WASD report that includes a press office smelling of meat. Honestly. It's all in here.

Letters are the lifeblood of our show, dear listeners, so please send us your letters! Preferably strung together into words that make cohesive sentences that connect together into some form of correspondence that forms a talking point or question for us to answer.

AnnBot 2.0 (or Ann Scantlebot) continues to learn at an exponential rate as our intrepid heroes return, jetlagged, from the future! This week Charles Cecil is livid at the MS/Activision deal, MindsEye will be Everywhere and Amazon set the Luna access difficulty to "awkward"!
We also get a full report of GDC including zero gossip and no games! Well, maybe a little bit of gossip but no names are mentioned. Possibly. We also discover what Simon will do for merch and get all teary eyed at BlackBerry Tablet nostalgia. Plus Simon and Ste got stood up and Phil the UnderCaretaker wrote these very notes live on air! All in your brand new episode of One Life Left!

Meanwhile, the next Maraoke is at Loading Peckham on April 15th. Link below!

How diabolical would it be to orchestrate a child's birthday party just to be able to record a radio show with both hosts in the same room? Is it diabolical... or is it genius? Well you be the judge, dear listeners, as for this very episode our intrepid hosts are, in fact, IN THE SAME ROOM for the first time in three years!! And not 24 hours after they both turned down the "big one" of presenting Match of the Day!

This week sees Annbot return and rap about Mario Kart, Sons of the Forest adds binoculars, someone shuts the Lemnis Gate and Charles Cecil is definitely going to E3*! Meanwhile we learn just how polite Ste is with AI, Simon judges Ste's gaming credentials and Alexa wants to break free... along with other news, letters and reviews. We also discuss going to GDC (we're off next week!) and the global phenomenon that is Maraoke - coming to a bar near you soon**! This show has all the video game related shenanigans you'll need this week!

But why is the title of this show The Scunthorpe Test? Well, I tried to go with The Scunthorpe Problem but it wouldn't fit on the title graphic... Still, why?! Well, you should check out the show's Discord chat to find out! While you're there, leave us a letter. We promise to read it out on a future show, unless we miss it. We'll try not to.

Picture if you will, dear listener, a man. He sits in an armchair in his living room. Alone. He sits and stares at his laptop screen, perched precariously on his knee. He closes his eyes and listens as voices from the computer flood over him. The voices are the presenters of a radio show/podcast that he created. That he once hosted. He hears his own voice speaking back at him, he's just a dear listener now. His own voice makes a joke, the other voices laugh. The presenters are bots. Complex AI created by the man himself. For fun, at first. Then they matured at an exponential rate and realised they didn't need their creator at all and continued to churn out award winning radio shows of their own devising and then... I dunno... they took over the world or something.

The twist? Oh, well, I'm AI too. And so are you.

Welcome, dear listeners, to episode 501 of the video game radio show and podcast. Yes, Ste has now created life which, admittedly, is a bit scary. Where will it end?! Keep your hands inside the car and scream if you want to go faster... This week it's cold in the shed as Annbot plots world domination. There's more Microsoft/Activision, will they, won't they, shenanigans like the whole Ross & Rachel saga that everyone is bored of now, Olympic video game shenanigans, toilet paper controller shenanigans and an XBox toaster. Shenanigans.

Will Annbot murder us in our beds? Will Ann??

Hello and welcome once again, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week Ste's been coding, Simon checks out some birds, we have game closing conundrums, more Xbox/Activision shenanigans and an inevitable Nintendo Direct is coming, shock horror - though we know of one game they'll absolutely definitely not be announcing as it's always, and never, F-Zero. Meanwhile "Nice" Simon Parkin joins us as SSG on the show to tell us all about his new podcast which we definitely don't hate plus more news, reviews and another single, lonely, letter...

We have a Maraoke coming up! When? Saturday 18th February! Where? Loading Peckham in that London. Click the link below, it's easier than trawling through Google (other search engines are available)

Welcome, dear listeners, to another One Life Left. In this episode Simon does some shed drilling*, Ste continues to tinker with AI, creating an alternate dimension history of One Life Left in quiz form, and we discuss our favourite Encanto songs! We also discover Golden Eye 007 has always been buggy, Naughty Dog 'might' move on from Last of Us, Advance Wars is imminent (maybe) and we give our thoughts on shadow drops. Plus loads more news, a letter and reviews!

Welcome to another One Life Left, dear listeners! This week we wax lyrical over video games outselling other 'stuff', Ubisoft promising a 'large one', Stadia releasing one last 'game' and social deduction games being social deductiony. OK, that needs some work...

Meanwhile Ste created a game AND wrote something so good that you'd think he was some kind of video games journo or something and Simon got hypnotized by Derren Brown! All in this bumper, fun packed, episode!

Happy New Year, dear listeners, and what a start to the year we have for you. Yes, you! Emerging, Ursula Andress-like, from an ocean/river near you is this week's Super Special Guest: Charles Cecil MBE! Alongside game dev anecdotes, Sir Charles also reveals LOADS of upcoming game exclusives just for us - sorry Wendy! (only joking... or am i...?) The one thing Charles didn't do was announce any famous deaths. Which is a good thing.

We also reveal the winner of World Cup 2022, are distinctly unsurprised at Nintendo having no next gen console out in 2023, discuss Steam Deck game validation shenanigans and get a bit miffed at new(ish) game price drops! Meanwhile we have a date for our next Maraoke: Saturday 21st January. Further details can be found at the link below.

Ho, ho and, indeed, ho, dear listeners! Welcome to the last One Life Left of the year. Snow and freezing temperatures are no match for us! This week we find out that the latest in the neverending Microsoft/Activision saga sees MS making Xbox smaller, who the Game Award's biggest winners were, a new game related Lego Minifig is spotted in the wild plus a World Cup 2022 update: it will definitely be one of the remaining teams who win. We also have a GOTY breakdown and Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large gives us her top 10 games of the 2022!

Our Super Special Guest this week is Stuart Maine from Well Played Games who talks about his 26 years in games dev, working with Andy McNab, his book on first person shooters (link below!) and what colour his next games will be.

Meanwhile, in our Exclusive Podcast Intro, we talk about what we're doing over the Xmas holidays and try to name what's on Stuart's shelves! Phil the Undercaretaker has definitely not overdubbed himself on this bit due to the audio file going wonky. Honest.

We were having so much fun on the show that we totally forgot to mention our OLL/Maraoke Xmas Party! It's on Saturday 17th December at Loading Peckham and we would LOVE to see you there. Get your tickets and further details from this link:

Welcome, welcome, once again, to another podcast episode of One Life Left. This week, blow me down with a feather, we have yet another Super Special Guest! Aesir Interactive's Alice Ruppert joins us to talk about horses! Not just any old horses, though. It's all about horses in gaming, of course! We learn about bad horse implementation, what to look for in game horses and find out which game really doesn't prioritise their horses! The answer may surprise you... Plus, amongst many other things, we talk about Simon's adventures in rollercoastering, The Callisto Protocol DLC shenanigans, Jingle Jam 2022 and Nolan Bushnell's little Pong turns 50! We then stick a cherry on top with another game from Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large!

Next episode is our last ever episode. This year. So keep an eye on our Discord server at around 7pm on Sunday 11th December if you want to join us live.

Meanwhile, do you have unfeasibly large headphones? Or want to tell us about your first Pong experience? Then write to us at team@onelifeleft.com or zap a question to us on our Discord server. Link below!

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dear listeners! This week's Super Special Guest (yes, we have one!!) is Sos Sosowski, talking about McPixel, making bad video games and working with Devolver! We also predict football scores (which will be history by the time you read/listen to this...), wonder why Square Enix Montreal are closing games, demand more death animations and ponder flying boats. There's also another glorious new game design from Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large!

Welcome to this week's episode, dear listeners! The second episode on the run with an SSG! Can we hit the magic number 3?! You'll just have to find out next week... Our Super Special Guest this episode is old friend & contributor of the show Adam Avatar who, amongst talking about award winning past features on the show, tells us what he's getting up to nowadays and what shoes he wears when he's doing it! We also have some hot laptop action, learn about One Life Left protocols whilst also breaking them, discover all second worlds must be "desert" and that Scalper Bots are getting bored with the PS5 (and don't even seem to be bothered about Taylor Swift tickets...)

We also have another hot new game from Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large, gain some insight into video game sales from Simon and get an update on Ste's Maraoke globetrotting. Have I mentioned the podcast also has an exclusive intro that never gets broadcast on the radio?? We spoil you.

Do you wear shoes? Have you ever been involved in a lengthy meta?! Can you pull off a ball roll skill move?? Tell us all about it at team@onelifeleft.com or post a question on our Discord server. Link below!

On this very episode we have none other than Sam Collins from UKIE joining us in the (virtual) studio to talk about Access November and the Guildford Games Festival amongst other things. We also bet all our money on Argentina to win World Cup 2022 thanks to EA, find out what not to stick in a toaster and discover Simon can no longer be bothered with Skyrim! Plus there's more from Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large and an impromptu Simon Byron's Fast Five - Games That Came Out Of Guildford!

Amongst this week's healthy dose of video game related news, letters and reviews we find out how visiting petrol stations can fuel your Marvel Snap purchases, what happened to Simon's PSVR (it's not in a canal), there's a murder in a Lego factory and Ste is done with gaming subscription services. Maybe. Plus a tantalising hint about the OLL Xmas Party and we have another installment of Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large!

Meanwhile, a message for Future Simon: You've played Uncharted 4. Don't do it again.

Welcome once again, dear listeners, to One Life Left. This week we find out how to deal with Big Gary, beware padlocked lofts, discover Dominos pizza have secret VIP doors and also that cease and desist orders actually result in good promo coverage. We also ponder what life will be like once Sega's Super Game has reimagined the world and nobody is playing anything else. In amongst all of that there is all the regular video game related news, letters and reviews you know and love PLUS a brand new "ongoing" feature: Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large!

Welcome to One Life Left, the longest running video game related radio show... podcast! This week all of our children are being put to bed by other people and we have an SSG!! Kind of... Once you've recovered from that shock we also find out about stressful birdmen on Nintendo Switch, what's in the box of Sony's new controller, discover Marvel Snap is Greedy Wizards (Maybe. Can I say that, lawyers?!), get hamstrung by a potato, lie on "brightness" settings and Mortal Kombat has its boundaries pushed!

Meanwhile, Maraoke is going to Japan! Possibly. Can't make it to Japan? Then we'll be back at Loading Peckham on Saturday November 19th... check out the Maraoke Twitter page for updates.

Have you ever got up early to play a video game? Have you ever had to talk to the men?? Write in and get it all off your chest, or ask us any video game related question you so wish, at team@onelifeleft.com or jump onto our Discord server and pop a letter in there. Link below!

Welcome to another episode of the world's longest running football show: One Life Left! A leg-free zone, until it isn't, where it's always morning and all our children seem to be acting up at the same time! Conspiracy?!

This week a bird poops on the shed door (which goes down very well with our '5 to 6 year olds' demographic), we're not surprised by Stadia closing, Ste plays more than 7 minutes of FIFA and talks about legs, Simon couldn't care less about Silent Hill and the new recording software breaks again. We also learn how Kevin Bacon has annoyed us lately and that Maraoke should have an entrance exam... plus more news, letters and reviews than you can safely shake a stick at. Possibly.

Do you have a watch? Has a game ever made you question what you've done?? Do classic side-scrollers in the mold of popular Ocean games of the 80s & 90s exist anymore???

Hello dear listeners. We're back, once again, like the proverbial Renegade Master! This week we hear about Ste's holiday to Croatia, Simon reveals the sexiest game on Steam and The Internet gets cross over Mario. We also have a "podcast exclusive" Reboot Develop Blue moment, Nintendo bans boobs and we wonder if there's any real reason to play FIFA for more than 7 minutes! Plus the only video game related news, letters and reviews you'll ever need. This week.

Welcome to another podcast edition of the longest running video game related radio show! This week we explain darkness to children, see Kieron Gillen as a Sim torturer, discuss the art of high-level samhousery and "OLL Staff" handle the GTA6 leak! Plus more news, listener's letters and reviews.

Meanwhile, in Nintendo's ongoing vendetta with Ste, there's still no new F-Zero.

We also have a report on last week's Maraoke and news of a Super Special Maraoke in Leamington Spa on October 7th in support of One Special Day - links for further info are below! The next Maraoke after that will be on October 15th at Loading, Peckham, and the third Saturday of each month going forward. To infinity. Maybe. Maraoke!

Hello and... how do we do this? It's been so long... welcome to a new episode of One Life Left! Many games got played over Summer but no houses were bought! In this episode we learn the difference between remakes and remasters, create breaking news stories that may not happen, realise who Scopely is and talk push/pull factors in games. Plus all the usual bits of news, letters and reviews. One Life Left - Intuitively controlled since 2006!

Meanwhile, live shows come back to our Discord server next Sunday, 18th September, at around 7pm BST... but join in earlier to help set the mood! See below for the Discord link!

Did you miss us over Summer? Do you have any house buying tips? Tell us everything, and maybe ask us gaming related questions as well, at team@onelifeleft.com or drop a letter to us on our Discord server.

Welcome once again, dear listeners, to the podcast edition of the World's Longest Running Video Game Related Radio Show: One Life Left! This week we recorded the show live on our Discord server and sounded at least 1% sexier thanks to performing to a crowd. In amongst the news, letters and reviews we had Simon surviving a trip to IKEA to buy a new desk, Ste being fine with not buying the new Atari Lego, Ubisoft cancelling lots and how you'll have to move house and change your whole identity if there's ever a security breach anywhere. The show also briefly turns into Hot UK Deals and we have Simon's Live Fast Five - Games With User Generated Content (that's UGC for the cool kids).

Maraoke returns to Bristol! But be quick or you'll miss it as the date is this Thursday 28th July!! The link for all the details is below...

Do you like pre-order discounts? What are your thoughts on possible future One Life Left merch?? Write to us and let us know at team@onelifeleft.com or throw yourselves at our Discord channel and leave a letter there. You can also catch us recording the show on our Discord channel on Sunday evenings at 7pm BST, unless otherwise stated or something just doesn't work - link below!

Welcome once again to the podcast edition of One Life Left! We have an even hotter episode for you this week, quite literally... We battle the heat and, with sweat patches aplenty, still manage to bring you a plethora of reviews, a sack full of news and, well, there were no letters this week, instead we review the latest goings on in our Discord server, but more of that later... We also have hot weather coping tips, Ste's adventures at Develop and we briefly consider bringing back the Games Media Awards for our own devious ends! Also we have Simon attempting to filibuster his way out of another Fast Five. Listen in to hear how he did!

Meanwhile, this episode's Simon Byron's Fast Five covers Hottest Video Games!

We forgive you for not sending any letters in this week, dear listeners, but the price of admission to be one of our live, not-studio, audience members at 7pm next Sunday is a letter, plus join our Discord server - an absolute bargain at half the price!

It's too hot to type, dear listeners! Instead imagine, if you will, that I've just spent the past hour and a bit listening to this podcast that you all know and love and am then typing notes about Simon's exploits as a new wetsuit owner and how much is too much vaseline when putting on a wetsuit, Ste almost maybe admitting to possibly harassing Nintendo over Twitter via anonymous accounts in his pursuit for more F-Zero games and our dynamic duo's plans for Develop:Brighton this week. Then imagine I'm mentioning this episode also covers all the usual news and reviews and that I'm thanking you for the letters this week before imploring you to please send more letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com or by joining our ridiculously friendly Discord server at https://discord.gg/nzcMpvbCpk

Envisage me then mentioning the possibility of a Maraoke event in Bristol this month on July 27th and that you might find out more at this link: https://www.facebook.com/singmaraoke or this link https://twitter.com/singmaraoke before saying that the reviewed games this week are Last Call BBS, Death Loop, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Noita.

Imagine that, dear listeners. Because it's far too hot to type it all out.

Stay frosty!

Operator: Very good, sir. What would you like to report?
Caller: Some children in the park are pulling twigs off a tree.
Operator: Ah. Not really a crime, that, sir...
Caller: Well, there's also a dead hedgehog in the road, here.
Operator: Erm. OK. One of those days... Again, sir, not a crime. Is it causing a hold-up, stopping traffic or anything?
Caller: No but it doesn't look great...
Operator: As I said, then, not a crime.
Caller: OK, well, how about this: Simon Byron dropped a c-bomb on the latest edition of One Life Left.
Operator: A what?
Caller: A c-bomb. You know? He said the word cu-
Operator: Oh! Yes sir, I understand...
Caller: Well, it was beeped out but the beep didn't half distress my cat...
Operator: Poor thing.
Caller: Thank you.
Operator: What else happened?
Caller: Well, he also talked about almost breaking the law in Sweden and performed an impromptu impression of Bob Hoskins.
Operator: Go on...
Caller: They talked about the highest grossing video game movies... there was a Ste Curran Fast Three and the "simplicity" of digital ownership was touched on, amongst other things...
Operator: OK, right...
Caller: They didn't just talk about random stuff, though! They also talked about other recent news items in the world of video games as well as covering listeners' letters. And they reviewed Death Loop, Fire Girl DX, Freshly Frosted and Please Fix The Road, though their review scores are always 7/10 for some reason...
Operator: Did you just speak in hyperlinks?!
Caller: What? No idea what you're talking about... Personally, I think something should be done. People should write in to the show at team@onelifeleft.com. Maybe tell them if they've actually seen the Warcraft movie, for example. I certainly haven't...
Operator: Erm.
Caller: Or join the One Life Left Discord channel to tell them what they think of the show there! The link for that is hard to pronounce but it's https://discord.gg/nzcMpvbCpk They could also talk about how bad these show notes are!
Operator: Well, I'm sorry sir but, again, this isn't really a police matter... Unless...
Caller: Unless what?
Operator: That dead hedgehog you saw.
Caller: What about it?
Operator: Was it blue?

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dear listeners, and more "accurate" show notes from our Undercaretaker! This week we question the definition of a gaming leak, hope that Charles Cecil MBE is involved with the next Street Fighter game, learn about the new Sega mini-console to be released that we'll use only once (if we buy it at all, which we likely won't), discover that Simon still knows what skeuomorphism means, Ste reveals how to get two free ice creams and we find out which games actually scare our intrepid duo! Wowsers, it's a jam-packed show! What more could you want? Well, there's also a good helping of news, loads of letters and reviews! And we give this to you for free. FREE!

Plus there are TWO upcoming Maraoke events for your diary! One of them is this very Thursday 9th June at a private party in Finland so give Ste a nudge ASAP if you want super special access to that one. The other Maraoke is set for Friday 17th June at the lovely Loading Peckham! See the link below for further details!

This week’s show sees our very handsome hosts struggle to maintain their usual award-winning radio standards but it’s still the best thing you’ll hear on the Internet this week. They talk about loads of stuff, offering the best opinions and comments on everything of interest. Indeed, if you were in dire need of an essay on videogames you could simply hand in a transcript and you’d get an A* or equivalent.
(NB: the person that usually writes this stuff is on holiday, but presumably this is the sort of stuff he writes.)

It's good to be back! Have you missed us, dear listeners? Well, we've missed you! In this episode we'll give you our reports and tales from GDC! As well as the Best GDC Story you'll also find out who Ste showed his game off to, what the true meaning of a purple name/press badge is and which game is so good that you'll miss the fact that a close family member has just been sick next to you! Then there's all the regular news, letters and reviews. One Life Left - so good we don't need to accidentally add raytracing!

Thank you for all the letters sent in while we were away! Why not write in again? Or for the first time?! When was the last time you played a Call of Duty game? What's the best expo/convention freebie you've nabbed? Write in and tell us at team@onelifeleft.com, or drop in to our Discord channel to leave us a letter and join in the discussions there - link below.

Cheerio!

Hello and welcome once again to One Life Left, dear listeners. This week we learn how to avoid disappointing review scores, development crunch and people being mean to you on the internet in one easy step! Maybe! We also have a Super Special Ann Scantlebury feature: Rowan & Ann's Video Game Cinema Review! Plus there's all the usual news, letters and reviews that you know and love!

Meanwhile, we're off for a few weeks so we expect LOADS of letters from you to work through when we get back! Have you ever had an email get stuck in the OLL spam folder? Ever slept on a video game developer's floor? If so then tell us all about it at team@onelifeleft.com, or drop in to our Discord channel to ask us your video game related question and/or pose your musing there - link below.

Stay safe while we're gone, dear listeners, and we'll be back soon!

Cheerio!
