Merry Christmas, everybody! Our gift to you is guest host Anthony Hopkins, and also some grumbling about awards shows: www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

A new episode for Patreons, in which we each argue for a vintage game that should be resurrected for a modern audience. Thrill as Nate plays the hits, Jonty plays the open-world bugs, and Brendy attracts Alice's undisguised contempt. On Patreon and Spotify now: www.patreon.com/posts/145095...

This week our Patreon operatives' mission is to listen to us laugh at Sam Fisher, in the first of the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell novelisations (it is called Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell). Featuring advanced Krav Maga techniques, and covert spy @johnnyohnny.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/text-a...

Our latest episode for supporters is a return to the videogame Popes, who must save select videogames via the medium of product placement. Available now on Patreon and Spotify: www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

Talk about horror versions of Pokémon and Animal Crossing reminded me of this thing I did a while back, figuring that AC: New Horizons was ripe for a cosmic horror spin-off…

A new public episode! We gather to discuss important matters of Mario, Silksong and Strange Antiquities, and Nate prepares a quiz about strange things of antiquity. Find it wherever you get your pods.

A new episode for special sausages, in which we cast the newly-announced Call of Duty movie and Alice gets mad at America for broadly unrelated reasons. Find it on Patreon and Spotify: www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

New for Patreons: the first episode of Text Adventure, our videogame book club! @brendyc.bsky.social joins us to discuss Assassin's Creed Brotherhood by Oliver Bowden, which turns out to be bad in an extremely videogames way. Listen on Patreon now: www.patreon.com/posts/text-a...

A new public episode! Alice was out of action so Jonty and Nate met to talk sex games, Battlefield and Bioshock. Listen on Patreon and whereever you find your podcasts. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

A new regular episode! Alice is off, so it fell to Nate and Jonty to despair over the Microsoft layoffs, cherish some good news for games media and workshop a Quake 2/Kumars at Number 47 crossover. Available on Acast and wherever you get your pods. shows.acast.com/total-playti...

A new Patreon episode, in which noted expert Nate explains Warhammer. Come for the extremely unlicenced Loungehammer music, stay for Paul Blart: Space Marine and Alice getting extremely furious about her faction assignment: www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

A new episode, in which we've all been playing games and only one of them is MindsEye. We do not recommend playing MindsEye. It's here and in your podcatching apps: shows.acast.com/total-playti...

A new Patreon episode: papal proclamations to save gaming, while outwitting the dastardly Gamer Satan and his efforts to create Games 2. Just think, in other podcasts that might seem weird. Listen on Patreon or Spotify: www.patreon.com/posts/131820...

During tonight's recording Nate suggested Warhammer 40K factions for Alice and Jonty based on vibes. Any predictions for what he chose?

Just realised we didn't post last week's episode on here. So: there's a new episode! Three very tired people talk about bad times at Bungie, Palworld's legal problems, and a beasted butler. www.patreon.com/posts/130196...

HELLO. An administrative notice for the special sausages: we are no longer able to distribute premium episodes via Acast, so you will need to get them from the private Patreon RSS feed. You're probably doing that already, but if not there's a guide to that here: support.patreon.com/hc/en-gb/art...

A wholehearted recommendation for everyone interested in video games and banter. The Patreon episodes are great too btw. The bit where they guessed games based on a character from that game calling in was top notch (one of many)!

This episode includes possibly the most tedious game feature request imaginable. But we also found out how Alice will kill Nate so there's good lore in there too.

A new, slightly late, free episode! We talk Giant Bomb, GTA 6, gaming popes and Sean Bean. Find it on Patreon and your pod app of choice. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

While recording this week's podcast something happened that made Alice have to get up and walk around the room, and Nate shout 'there is one church!'

Fine time to post our latest episode, but we do have one. This week we talk Clair Obscur, shadow drops, and growing your own tomatoes. Next week's Patreon exclusive will be a BRAND SAFE special. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

A new episode for our Patreon backers, which we definitely recorded from the press room at the BAFTA Game Awards, honest. Jonty interviews Nate about the HS2 of gaming, colliery band boss fights, battle Shreks and more: www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

A new Patreon episode! As requested by listeners, it's insights and advice about writing. Plus, of course, first date etiquette when one of your arms is made out of cheese. Find it on Patreon or in your pod-catching apps. www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

A new regular episode! Ubisoft Is Doing Just Fine, Why Do You Ask? We discuss the success of AC: Shadows (which Alice has been enjoying) and other associated nonsense, as well as O'Grimacey and Jason Statham, and Bloodlines 2. On all your podcatching apps, and Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/125855...

Dearest extra special sausages, We're very sorry for the late running of today's premium podcast service. This is due to a signal box failure (editing issues). You'll get the bonus episode you're owed as soon as possible - we're working on it! Sorry again, please forgive us x

New Patreon episode klaxon! It's Premium Episode D: Sausage Mailbag, where we answer your questions about stuff and things and the Patreon in general -

It's Episode 3! We've made it through our prerecorded backlog and are talking about current events, techxecutives, and the utility of review scores (as we must, until the sun explodes). Get it here or wherever you listen to podcasts! shows.acast.com/6786cf573cee...

Wow, it's a new Patreon episode! This time we talk about the games we most loved from 2024. Plus a normal human amount about Criminal Minds, and dinosaurs! www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

Today's episode for Patrons did genuinely have a block of Alice ranting about Criminal Minds cut out by our extremely patient editor.

Our new episode is available to all! We talk games we're looking forward to in 2025, stuffing the fish ballot, Normie Biggames and the two genders: Tina Turner and Agent 47. Get it here and in your podcatching apps: shows.acast.com/total-playti...

Podding with Alice and Nate was always a treat - can't wait to hear this new trio do their thing.

If you enjoy our custom music and stings, it's by God Ribbon! (@godribbon.bsky.social). Many such albums to listen to here - godribbon.bandcamp.com

The only video gaming news you need today, in my opinion! 😅
