Yes, we’ve kept you waiting for a few weeks. But you know what comes to those who wait? That’s correct: a perfectly fine podcast. It’s Episode 55 time. • Sonic Dream Team • puffies. • Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE • Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time open.spotify.com/episode/7kGJ...

Do I have any followers (or mutuals) who consider themselves a Hollow Knight speedrunner, or proficient with the lore of the game? I'd like to talk to two people on these subjects for an episode of Dialogue Tree. Hit me up if that’s you and you're interested!

“Oh no. It’s Wednesday. I can’t stand Wednesdays. There’s nothing good that can possibly happen today.” Wrong! Episode 54 is here, you dolt. • Still Wakes the Deep • Anodyne 2 • Roto Force • Opus: The Day We Found Earth • Device 6 open.spotify.com/episode/1FrZ...

Episode 53 is out there, you lucky people. On this one, we cover a couple of short games that might have passed you by. Or not. We have no real way of knowing. • Thanks Goodness You’re Here! • Tinykin open.spotify.com/episode/1qPe...

A little later than planned, but here’s Episode 52. It’ll come as no surprise that we’re still talking Playdate Season 2 (although we’ll have something different next before we hit Week 6). • Chance’s Lucky Escape • Shadowgate PD • CatchaDiablos • Tiny Turnip open.spotify.com/episode/679K...

Spice up your lunchtime with Episode 51! Unless you don’t see this until after lunch, I guess. Probably haven’t thought that through properly. We talk through Week 3’s games from Playdate Season 2: • Otto’s Galactic Groove!! • Long Puppy open.spotify.com/episode/2qNZ...

@dialoguetree.cc Incredibly excited to see what’s just dropped into Pocket Casts. Her Story was so impressive to me, and I was lucky enough to interview Sam Barlow at the time which was a thrill. Can’t wait to hear your take. Also, Bo went straight on my wishlist after last week’s episode.

We celebrate Episode 50 by cracking open the Playdate and seeing what the first few games of Season 2 have to offer. (Spoiler: they’re pretty great.) • Blippo+ • Fulcrum Defender • Dig! Dig! Dino! • Wheelsprung #playdate open.spotify.com/episode/1lLL...

Here’s a thread of some of the games we covered on the latest episode. These are titles featured in the various recent showcases that @mwjimmy.bsky.social and I are particularly looking forward to playing, or at least finding more about. Let’s go!

What’s that? You want to hear yet more people talk about the game showcases from the past week? We’ve got you covered! We each pick our top three anticipated games and touch on some other highlights too. (No. 2 will SHOCK you, etc. Does that still work?) open.spotify.com/episode/5ZHm...

Finally able to crack open the Switch 2 and put it through its paces the only way I know how. #Switch2

A little weekend treat (?) for you. It’s episode 48! Forget all that Switch 2 stuff (for now), we’re talking PlayStation Plus. Just go with it. • Coffee Talk • Sackboy: A Big Adventure • Rise of the Kasai • More! Available on your favourite platform right now. open.spotify.com/episode/25WJ...

Start your weekend right with Episode 47! Something a bit different this week, as Paul embarks on a solo run to celebrate Musou May. Hear his thoughts on Samurai Warriors 5 in particular, but also an exploration of the series over all. open.spotify.com/episode/6kGz...

My definition of 'treat' - 'A videogame podcast superbly approaching its 50th episode.'

It’s so lovely to receive feedback like this, especially from somebody who produces such an engaging games podcast. If you haven’t checked out Dialogue Tree yet, do yourself a favour and rectify that sharpish.

Boy, do we have a lunchtime treat for you? Well, I suppose that hinges on your definition of ‘treat’. Either way, Episode 46 of the podcast is available now on your platform of choice. • Balatro • TOEM • Makoto Wakaido’s Case Files Trilogy Deluxe • GTA VI open.spotify.com/episode/3GNA...

Very much enjoying Starfield.

Are you ready for Episode 45? I don’t see how you possibly could be. But here it is anyway. • Chibi Robo: Clean Sweep • Life is Strange •The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit Available on all your favourite podcast listening platforms. Oh, and Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1X45...

Episode 003: Spiritfarer 🛶🌌 Now available wherever you get podcasts. Apple and Spotify links below.

Sometimes, you just have to jump (and die, and jump, and die). Episode 2, in which I discover in real time why no one podcasts about games with unpronounceable names, is live: www.dialoguetree.cc/e/002-bzzzt/ You can sub on your platform of choice via the links here: www.dialoguetree.cc

The Crew 2 is accidentally one of the funniest games ever made because of its procedurally generated storefronts. "CHICKEN GRILLED COFFEE" "SHOE" "BUY ONE GET SECOND ONE" "CIRCULAR DOTS" "$3B.9B"

Vindication at last. I have long been pegged as an oddball by my family for eating any such sweet treats ‘upside down’. I shall have my vengeance. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Glad to see that Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is getting such great reviews. That initial reveal video really piqued my interest in a way that many modern RPGs fail to do. I don’t think I’ve even played one since the magnificent Dragon Quest XI, but I’ll be finding time for this. At some point.

We’re back with Episode 44! • Mario Kart World Direct • Playdate Season 2 • Blue Prince • PoP: The Lost Crown • Emio – The Smiling Man (Unfortunately we had issues with Paul’s audio, so the last 20 mins are from the backup recording. Hopefully not too annoying!) open.spotify.com/episode/7ppM...

A few years ago when I was troublingly deep into Elite Dangerous (flight stick, throttle, the lot) I used an EQ to make it sound like Spotify was playing in my ship's cockpit, and had this moment where a song perfectly synced up with a hyperspace jump.

Absolutely love the ethos behind this new games podcast. Short, focused episodes packed full of heart. Looking forward to hearing how this develops. First couple of episodes already great!

Everything I love about Prince of Persia, is here in The Lost Crown. Longer form thoughts on the podcast.

Episode 43 is here! I wade in on the Blue Prince discourse and why such strong reviews are causing some to ask what all the fuss is about. @mwjimmy.bsky.social reveals the game that convinced him to pick up a PS5 and why you should play PoP: The Lost Crown. open.spotify.com/episode/5HVP...

Some really great picks in this Switch indie game celebration from @gaminginthewild.bsky.social More than anything, it has reinforced the feeling that I really, really need to get to Inscryption sooner rather than later. youtu.be/48f-zXDkuaU?...

I’m around 10 runs into Blue Prince, uncovering exciting new avenues to explore while also knowing that I’m barely scratching the surface. Having an absolute blast despite going in with impossibly high expectations.

I do hope @jcafarley.tcgs.co and @tcgs.co were consulted on this new chapter of an admittedly great game. Bitter Nest DLC to be announced further down the line?

I got chatting to @mwjimmy.bsky.social about the Switch 2 reveal and we decided it was a good time to dust off the mics and record a new podcast episode. Listen on Spotify below or in your usual podcast platform. Any help spreading the word most appreciated! open.spotify.com/episode/3RTH...

I was already very eager to play Blue Prince, but these reviews and early impressions mean that Thursday simply can’t arrive quickly enough. Beyond excited.

Incredibly late to the party here as ever, but the sheer number of new bits and pieces that get thrown into the mix in Dave the Diver is just astonishing. And the crossovers with other games? So good. A near full version of Balatro inside this other video game you’re loving? Yeah, go on then.

439: Never Doesn’t Feel Weird Avowed, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Warriors Abyss, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, Citizen Sleeper 2, State of Play, GTA 6 might be like Roblox, luxury kitchen appliances, and tons more. Watch on YouTube or listen on Spotify and podcast services.

Just to be very clear, we have ALWAYS been Woke Lefty Loonies. Listen to someone else.

I’ve been absolutely spoiled for great puzzle games so far this year: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes The Case of the Golden Idol Botany Manor The Operator Had a great time with all of them, but Lorelei in particular was really special. I’ve got Cocoon and Return of the Obra on the horizon too.

Some goal by Shilow, that. I’m sure they’ll come for us second half. But if we’re clinical there will surely be opportunities to pick them off. #crewealex

I’ve been playing Lempo on Twitch recently. It’s a Finnish psychological horror, and in many ways it’s a frustrating and generally unremarkable thing. But every now and again it has a section where I feel the need to scribble stuff down in a notebook and ponder over a puzzle. Those bits? The best.

Ooh! Issue 4 of @apwot.bsky.social has just arrived, and it’s as beautiful as I’ve come to expect. Looking forward to digging in properly.

Already worth it making it over to Bluesky. This is excellent.

Let’s try again. Maybe I’ll actually post regularly over here. (Let’s not kid ourselves.)
