‘Marie Kondo-ing’ a video game backlog might be my favourite thing said on our show. The perfect way to describe it from @alexsurvives.bsky.social 😂

Baby got up during the night just as the Elden Ring run started at SGDQ. Got him down quickly and then accidentally watched the run. Tired

lol

BLOPS2 was on OBSESSION back in the day. They might as well cancel the new one this year.

Bonnie Tyler is dead. Between this and the end of Shrek 2, she will live on forever.

I will start a gofundme to destroy the sun now the heatwave is affecting the baby. We all pitch in, it’s a goner

The excitement I have for the Metal Gear Master Collection Vol 2 is reaching horrible heights. The possibility of playing Peace Walker on the Switch 2 man

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is an impressive return to an old favourite. I break down why in my review below! Thanks to Ubisoft for the opportunity, and all shares/subs are appreciated! ☺️

We've finished Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and our full review is now live! But is it the definitive way to play one of Ubisoft's greatest games? Watch and subscribe now! youtu.be/ON_22Y__bTw

Playing games vicariously through my daughter has been one of my favourite part with the new baby.

Every single time I speak to my 16 year-old nephew he talks to me for ages about Elden Ring. He was stuck on the Fire Giant for months and just hit the Godskin Duo. I’d give anything to experience that game for the first time again.

More to this point, the fact that they have a showcase where they happily show off the work of the teams that they are shafting is crazy. Thankfully they’re getting some support when they leave but it’s absolutely callous.

Earnestly, fuck Xbox

I’m sorry but there’s no fucking way xbox survives this. Culling, arguably, their most creative studios to focus on games like Halo and Gears is fucking mad. Throw Helix into the mix with what we already know about rising prices and aye. A shambling corpse

BREAKING: Xbox will cut 3,200 jobs as part of a major reorganization, and divest from five studios: - Compulsion and Double Fine will go indie - Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will be sold - Arkane to enter consultation process Here's the full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 people today, most of which in the Xbox division.

The outpouring of congratulations and stories about fellow parents managing gaming with newborns or even just kids of their own has been incredible 💙 It truly puts into perspective about the reason we wanted to make this show and aye, thanks for letting us! I’m away to sleep while the bairn is 😴

Kick off your Monday with a new episode 😊 And here’s to a cracking week 🙌⬇️

I’ve never both hated and enjoyed a player more than Erling Haaland.

Yer man speaks sense sometimes. I played Twilight Princess for the grand total of 30 mins last night and knocked a dungeon off and felt like a KING

Since my son was born, I’ve played more Balatro on my phone than ever before. What a game

My backlog preparing itself after the deluge of terrible gaming news this week/month/year.

Me listening back to this and realising how confident I sound. Night one at home has truly humbled me.

I don’t think anyone would believe me if I told them that I think about the Sonic Heroes theme song pretty much constantly.

Fucking up Obsidian, one of the only folk consistently farting out games for Xbox is WILD.

I’m busy currently but play Crosscode. That game is fucking incredible

Nae discs, nae storage, nae sense. If it’s going to be nothing but issues with releasing a console then why the fuck are we doing it. Absolute crazy talk

THE BABY HAS LANDED

Trying to find a pair of scrubs that fit my massive arse was a nightmare.

*INTERNAL SCREAMING*

*internal screaming*

SELL YOUR XBOX

As promised, I managed to squeeze in Deltarune: Chapter 5 before the wee fella arrives. I fucking love this game man, good lord.

I’ve been single parenting for four days since my wife has been in hospital (she’s fine!) and I genuinely have no idea how people manage. I’m fucking dying on my erse

Lounging

I’ve been singing the praises of Isles of Sea and Sky forever but it’s genuinely fucking brilliant. £3.99 is a bloody steal

It's that time again folks, it's the Steam Summer Sale! 🐢🌴Isles of Sea and Sky🌴🐍 is on sale at an absurdly low price at 80% off, that's $3.99! A fantastic, oceanic, open world puzzle adventure store.steampowered.com/app/1233070/... Support small dev teams 🫡 #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Toy Story should’ve stopped at 3.

Incredible comment on our most recent TikTok video. Can’t believe they knew how warm I was recording it too.

Our hobby is becoming ridiculously expensive and the Steam Machine and XBOX showing us that this week. We discuss the ramifications as well as discussing our thoughts on whether our backlogs will become more important as a result. Have a listen, leave a review, all the good stuff 💙

01:24 THUNDER

00:06 Still fucking sweating

Xbox announcing price increases like there's even a demand for their consoles

mk2 reflecting pool

*Trying to keep up with all the bad news Xbox keeps throwing at us*

Listen, nobody is telling you to go to Shopto and buy at £70 gift card for PS5 so you can get GTA6 even cheaper.

My baws are fucking glued to my leg with this heat. Fuck me

Maybe Mr Burns was right after all.

I’ll absolutely be scudding a tub of ice cream watching this football.

I am become sweat, the destroyer of taints
