38: BOOBS or Female Representation in Videogames
February 07, 2022 04:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MBSend us a Text Message. Ms Kiley Wilde has joined me this week and decided to jump up on the WTFDYW?! soap box and shout about breasts. Whatever the lady wants, the lady gets. We explore representation in games this week, how good intentions can lead to exclusion towards certain people simply due to their physique, We've come a long way since booth babes, softcore adverts and damsels in distress; but there still is a way to go. But mostly Kiley just wants more boobs in videogames. Thanks...
37: Cutscenes
January 31, 2022 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MBSend us a Text Message. Creme Egg Suppository Enthusiast, Luke Dolsk returns this week to talk cutscenes. After his glorious Diddy Kong Racing episode, Luke ruins any chance of a legacy he once had. He wants to eradicate the art of the cutscene. He finds they get in the way of his button mashing and dopamine hit. Dear listener, I hope you don't belong in the same camp as this Neanderthal.

36: Talking to Animals
January 24, 2022 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBSend us a Text Message. The wonderful Robschach returns to for another half hour of misery this week as we work out the mechanics of Talking to Animals. That's right, we're sick to the back teeth of talking to smelly humans and would rather converse with the creatures. No more roundabout conversations about television, weather or politics. More talk about why they lick where and who they would like to bite. As mentioned on the Pod, a dedication in memory of Professor K's wonderful, majesti...
35: Doctor Whom?
January 17, 2022 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBSend us a Text Message. I'm afraid you have a still recovering host on this one. Rather than miss a week, the lovely Philthy returned to walk me through Doctor Who. The long running BBC series that I have tried and failed to get into several times over the years. Not that my indifference prevents Philthy from waxing poetically about the Franchise. Thankfully. A valiant effort on his part. A piss poor attempt on mine. We talked the Toricron Variant, possible future Doctor Candidates and m...
34: Hard Games
January 10, 2022 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20.5 MBSend us a Text Message. Gadget steps into the studio to demand Hardness; and what the Audio Guru wants, he gets. There are many schools of thought on the difficulty found in videogames. When you cater towards a multitude of tastes; it's an impossible task to satisfy the globe. There does seem to be a trend in Indie games catering to those that desire a challenge. Where their AAA counterparts shy away from alienating their fans, but leaving the overall experience shallow. It's a complex is...
33: Harvest Moon
January 03, 2022 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20.7 MBSend us a Text Message. Your least favourite trio return for the first episode of 2022 and they bring something you probably like even less. Harvest Moon this week, one of the truly most addictive titles on the Game Boy. It's a long running series but we spent most of our time with this series on handheld consoles. We explore a lot of titles in the series and where we feel it was strong and where it lacked. A brief history lesson from three idiots. What a way to spend half an hour. All t...
32: Christmas Wonderland
December 27, 2021 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20.7 MBSend us a Text Message. Some people say he isn't real, that he only exists in the hearts of children, that he's a warped myth or disgusting advertising mascot. But we know the truth, Lyle Carr exists and we have audio proof. The Funky Senpai has made an amazing appearance to demand something that already exists, but don't his disregard for this show's simple premise dissuade you from listening. It's Christmas!! . . .almost. Some audio issues on my end for the first ten minutes for our bat ...
31: Botched Launched Jobs
December 20, 2021 04:00 - 28 minutes - 19.6 MBSo we have Complete Games Part Two: Botched Launch Jobs. McMorrow returns to complain about the state of games these days and continues to belittle most of the people in the Game Dev Industry. We look back at some of the most broken launches in recent and distant memory. Thought a nice gentle one before Christmas would put everyone at ease. Honestly it turns into a moaning session that rambles about aimlessly. All the socials: Buzzsprout Twitter Instagram Facebook Youtube

30: Shock Sites
December 13, 2021 04:00 - 47 minutes - 32.4 MBSend us a Text Message. Content Warning: For the First and possibly only time, we have a content warning. This Podcast covers some pretty disgusting subject matter in a very childish manner. Shane returns after talking about The Simpson's decline back in Episode 2. This time he talks Shock Sites. In the internet's younger days, there was a certain faction of people that tried to trick other people into viewing some pretty disgusting things. We may have been part of this sect of people. We ...
29: Reboots
December 06, 2021 04:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MBSend us a Text Message. We have even more Modern Escapism alumni this week as Stig returns to talk about Reboots. We've all experienced them, the good, the bad, the fucking atrocious. Every week there seems to be another announcement for a return to a dormant franchise. A new look at a retro classic. A desperate cash grab wherever possible. Stig walks us through the fields of the remake, the reboot and the re-imagining and talks of what he would like to see in the future. Modern Escapis...

November 29, 2021 04:00 - 28 minutes - 19.6 MBSend us a Text Message. NorthmanRob still has a sore anus from pre-ordering Fallout 76 and the best balm known to humankind?

27: Malcolm in the Middle
November 22, 2021 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBSend us a Text Message. Welcome to the first ever live recorded episode of WTFDYW?! Yes, I know, the audio is different. There are noises from the drinking and somebody kept rustling their page of notes like a prick. But I had fun recording this, so I don't really care how you feel about it. Malcolm in the Middle gets covered this week, a sitcom that seems to be fondly remembered but lost to time a little bit. Part of the afterschool magic time, coupled with The Simpsons. We remind ourselv...

November 15, 2021 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBSend us a Text Message. With Battlefield 2042 releasing in a few days, my voluptuous Guest this week peels back the foreskin of memory back to reveal the shiny helmet of nostalgia. Biggie brings Bad Company to the table and why this series is sorely missed and way overdue a return. We trade offline and online experiences and tales of heroic deeds and traitorous exploits. Will Biggie get What The Fuck He Wants by the end of this week? Talent stolen from the excellent Modern Escapism which ...
25: Scary Movies
November 08, 2021 04:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MBSend us a Text Message. Mark returns once again to tackle a pretty serious issue we have with Scary Movies. The main problem being they aren't Scary any more . . . which just makes them movies. You can see the problem here; I'm sure. We talk misspent youth, dodgy ratings and Professor K filled out half the episode with some more glorious feedback. (That did not include Jigglypuff.) Find Mark on his brilliant show below: Gateway to Podcast Links 100 Things We Learned From Film Buzzsprout...

After failing to acquire a Dino Crisis successor for the ever amiable Jon Cheetham; he has returned this time to try rubbing the rusty Irish lamp in hopes for DishonoUred 3!! Jon always brings a genuine passion that I admire; we discuss Arkane's Dishnoured franchise and what makes it so magic. (Not Whale Oil.) He may have already covered the games through his writing on Dunwall Diaries, but he still has plenty to say on the subject. This is one of the few episodes w...
23: Spirit Bomb of Love
October 24, 2021 23:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBSend us a Text Message. Northman Rob returns and has a bee under his bonnet. A certain trope that gets overused in media and he has simply had enough. So we eventually rounded on the The Spirit Bomb of Love to basically explain what he doesn't care for and what he would like to see instead. It's a vague one, but What The Fuck The Bobby Wants, then What The Fuck Bobby Gets!! Buzzsprout and all the socials: Buzzsprout Twitter Instagram Facebook Youtube
22: Half Life 3
October 18, 2021 03:00 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBSend us a Text Message. If ever there was an example of what this show was about: Half Life 3 must be one of the pillars. A game sequel that has surpassed the meme they tried to contain it in. Half Life and its sequels were truly shining examples of what games could accomplish and what we want; is more of that. My trusted companion Tyg joins me as we take a crowbar each and smash the brain crabs in our path to the next chapter in Gordon Freeman's adventure. Just as long as it doesn't end u...
21: Movie Tie Ins
October 11, 2021 03:00 - 29 minutes - 20.6 MBSend us a Text Message. This Week I'm graced with the presence of Mark Plant who has fulfilled his year's worth of charity work by blessing this show with his presence. After an initial mix-up with which member of the 100 Things We Learned From Film Podcast member was joining the recording; we have an excellent discussion about a lost art form. Movie Tie-Ins in the form of videogames. Where did they go, were they actually any good, should they come back, why did Last Action Hero suck ball...
20: Pokémon Red & Blue (Maybe Green)
October 04, 2021 03:00 - 45 minutes - 31 MBSend us a Text Message. Seeing as tomorrow will be the 22nd Anniversary of Pokémon Red and Blue landing in the UK; Cattwood, XbenblasterX and I take a trip down memory lane to relive our glory days as Trainers. I don't know why but, this quickly became one of the more vulgar episodes of the show. I guess they were right, these games really did corrupt the youth. An extended 45 minute episode this week to accommodate the double guest rota and to mark our 20th Episode. Woo!! Thanks for list...

Another week of some dubious company. So tune in, sail the skies and scream "CUTLASS FURY!" as loud as you can out the window. Thanks for listening and hopefully you were mildly entertained and/o...

Thankfully bringing Super Mario RPG to the table so you've avoided another one man show. This episode could have easily been two hours long, we love the subject matter that much.

Please look up the socials to find more information on t...

August 23, 2021 03:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MBSend us a Text Message. I managed to poach some talent from the fabulous Modern Escapism this week. Their social media guru and Hob Nob Champion; Stig! We scratch each other's head in bewilderment as to where the next entry in the Mario Kart series is and why we're not currently playing it. We reminisce and attempt to predict what the future may bring in the frantic kart racer's future. Bit of an audio issue to begin with, Apologies. Thanks for listening and hopefully you were mildly ente...

August 16, 2021 03:00 - 29 minutes - 20.7 MBSend us a Text Message. McMorrow and I go full Cranky Kong and complain about new fangled games and their surprise mechanics.

Please look up the so...

August 09, 2021 03:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBSend us a Text Message. Nice light subject matter this week. Please note at the time of this recording, there was a major heatwave and our heads were melted. There are some bits of this recording that I couldn't recall until the editing process.

Although it's Diddy Kong Racing that takes the spotlight, we do skip through a lot of Rare's entries on the console. Petty battles over which character was the best and cheating bosses. Surprisingly sweary this week; like two bad children. Thanks for listening and hopefully you were mildly entertained and/or insulted. Please look up the socials to find more information on the guests and any proj...
