Samuel, Andy and Phil return from a podcast break to discuss the latest PC games, and to impart their years of collective wisdom on the best sausages you can buy in Waitrose. (Other sausages are available.) We also answer your questions, offer varying opinions on Prey, and find out whether PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is better than its name. Farewell, sausage.
Tom Senior, Phil Savage and podcast favourite 'The Meeting Next Door' return to talk about walking – in houses, in caves, and even in Europe during a war. Also: would Jeremy Corbyn main Chun-Li, and what does Theresa May's Crusader Kings 2 save look like? All that, and Dragon Age 2 is mentioned yet again.
It's another post-deadline podcast, but an incredibly tired PC Gamer team bravely soldiers on to talk about the latest in PC gaming and whether the Empire actually did anything wrong. We also answer your burning questions, such as could we beat up a three-year-old? And yes, dear listener. We could.
Samuel and Phil gather to discuss the health of VR, and offer early impressions of The Signal From Tolva. Then, it's over to you for another bumper questions special! Why? Because we didn't play enough games to fill a full episode. Yes, we are ashamed of our words and deeds.
The Traveller came and brought forth a Golden Age of banter. But then the Hot Takes followed, and the world as we know it fell. Can the PC Gamer team drive back the darkness? Can Bungie bring Destiny's combat to PC? Can Mass Effect Andromeda hold onto its place on Andy's hard drive?
After a traumatic deadline, Samuel and Phil climb into the podship and set off on a journey PC gaming. Unfortunately, neither of us had played anything of note this week, so instead we used your questions as an excuse to ramble about stuff. Listen, and find out why fantasy is better with giant mushrooms, and why Legion makes for bad second screen TV. Discussed: Questions This week: Samuel Roberts, Phil Savage The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming. Thoughts? Feedback? Reques...
From Bolivia, to a remote galaxy, to a far future filled with colossal murderboys. Wherever you go, there's always time to sit down and chat about the financial quarter's core IPs. Just don't ask us to delete one of our precious franchises, lest we butterfly effect a new, all powerful enemy. Threatening message. It's Elcor's time now.
Last week, PC Gamer said goodbye to noted Dota fancier Chris Thursten. But while his voice will no longer echo around the office, it will arrive in your ears via his final appearance on this here podcast. That doesn't really tell you what this episode is about, but it's me – Phil – writing this, and I wasn't in the room when it was recorded. I have no idea what's about to happen. Let's find out together.
This week, Andy takes us into Mass Effect's Andromeda galaxy, shuts down Samuel's assertion that Night In The Woods is the videogame version of Weird Twitter, and some other stuff is discussed that we can't recall because when we recorded this we'd all worked 12 days in a row.
This week, Samuel, Phil, Andy, and the occasional background murmurings of a nearby meeting get together to discuss what they've been playing. Phil struggles to find the point of WWE 2K17, Andy advocates for the calming space exploration of Take On Mars, and Samuel runs through a bumper crop of your questions. The nearby meeting contributes little to the discussion, but here's hoping it was productive.
In this episode, Samuel (status: sleepy), Phil (status: caffeinated), and Andy (status: Andy) talk about the evil within Resident Evil 7, break down the meta of Gwent, and answer a bunch of good questions that aren't about SSDs.
Welcome to the thirty-second episode of the PC Gamer UK Podcast, home of possibly the longest tangent in our history. Around that, you'll hear about Samuel and Phil's slapdash adventures with Space Engineers, find out whether Phil understands what's happening in GoNNER (no), and learn why Samuel isn't a music journalist. Also, we answer a bumper crop of your questions – as asked by our Discord community.
Hi. Er, how's it going? Look, it's been a couple of weeks since we last recorded a podcast. Blame Christmas, and the fact that making magazines is hard. I've sort of forgotten what goes in this bit of the episode description. Something about how the PC Gamer team got together and tried to remember how this podcasting thing works, probably. We talk about Elite Dangerous, the games of 2017, and then answer a couple of questions. Hey! We've got a new community home on the PC Gamer Discord channel. ...
It's the 30th podcast episode, but we're celebrating our 300th magazine issue. Join Sam, Phil and Andy on a self-indulgent tour of magazine craft – going behind the scenes of the making of a landmark issue of PC Gamer. Also, we talk about the good videogame Watch Dogs 2. Hey! We've got a new community home on the PC Gamer Discord channel. Head here to sign up, and join the uk-podcast channel to hang out with fellow listeners.
Slam the breaks on that time truck, because we're not ready to leave 2016 just yet. First, as is our sacred duty, we must anoint the best games of the year. We'll be announcing PC Gamer's official Good Games of 2016 Awards in the upcoming issue 300. For now, Samuel, Phil and Chris run through their personal nominations. From XCOM 2 to Dishonored 2, with a little stop for yet more Hitman.
Sorry, sorry. A lot of things happened. Samuel was on deadline, Phil was in Texas, our FTP server wouldn't let us log on. It's been a rough, podcastless couple of weeks, but, to make it up to you, here's us talking about two of this year's best games: Titanfall 2 and Dishonored 2. Also, we talk about Hitman. Again.
Podcasting: that magical medium where the gulf between recording and publishing can leave your Red Dead Redemption 2 hot takes looking old and soggy. Our out of date speculation aside, this episode features oven fresh opinions on a variety of new games, as well as a brief insight into how we deal with the internet being angry at our list features. Discussed: Thumper, Battlefield 1, Halo Wars 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration Pack This week: Samuel Roberts, Tom Senior, Phil Savage T...
This week, PC Gamer gets stuck in the past. From beating up racists in the '60s, to fondly reminiscing over World War 2's varied terrain. (It did have a lava level, right?) Also, what happens when trucks meet physics meets jumping meets streamers? And what's the deal with review scores?
Phil, Andy and Tom sit down to discuss the worst nicknames, wonder why the FBI are getting involved in local kidnappings, and ruminate on the disappointing nature of gassy asteroid parps. If you're thinking, 'Wow, that sounds like exactly the podcast entertainment I'm looking for,' then buckle in for the ride of your next one hour and two minutes.
This week, the team talks about ambitious skyfaring MMO Worlds Adrift, and revisits the BioShock series courtesy of the new remasters. No reader questions this week, because Phil's not here, and Samuel didn't have access to the emails. He did discover the truth about Adam Jensen's parents, though.
Samuel and Phil are tired, after what can charitably be described as a difficult magazine deadline. Nevertheless, they dragged themselves into a recording studio for a scattershot podcast covering new, upcoming games, and a few old favourites. And WWE 2K16, for some inexplicable reason. Discussed: Mafia III, Endless Space 2, Hitman, WWE 2K16, Superhot This week: Samuel Roberts, Phil Savage The PC Gamer UK Podcast is a weekly podcast about PC gaming. Thoughts? Feedback? Requests? Get in touch at ...
Yet again, PC Gamer has organised 100 of our favourite PC games into a list. This week on the podcast we look through that list – now available to read online – and pick out some of the most notable, surprising and infuriating choices.
First, an apology: the audio quality of this episode is rough. Oh, sure, it starts off fine, but as we go along, Andy and Phil get quieter, while Tom gets louder and louder. We blame GamesRadar, who pinched all the good microphones for their Gamescom coverage. Still, suffer through this audio catastrophe for some mild takes on Metal Gear Survive, plus some more informed views on No Man's Sky and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. We'll do better next time.
The PC Gamer UK podcast is back from its entirely unintentional holiday. Sorry for the absence. To make up for it, here's 90 minutes of fresh, juicy takes – at least two-thirds of which are somewhat comprehensible. Phil reports back from QuakeCon, Andy reports back from Newcastle, Samuel gets in the sea, and Tom pets his tentacle bear. Plus: reader questions, which is about when this podtrain flies off the rails. Sorry. Again.
It's a format break! This week, Samuel, Andy, Phil and Chris run through some of their personal picks for the PC Gamer Top 100 – our annual list that definitely makes everybody happy and not mad at us. What did they vote for? Why did they vote for it? And which game lets you hold two fistfuls of iron wank?
A slightly shorter podcast this week – hey, we're not made of hot takes – but hot dang, what an audio experience it is. Samuel's surprised by an air conditioner. Phil is afraid of all fluids. Andy is impressed by some poignant world building. Also, the highs and lows of a GTA Online heist. Discussed: Inside, Metro Last Light, GTA Online, Team Fortress 2.
Andy finds out if Inside deserves the critical acclaim. Samuel learns how many bosses it takes to crave a chicken dinner. Phil discovers what's hiding in his pile of shame. We all find out why Angus is playing Minecraft, of all things. Then it all goes a bit wrong. Sorry. It's Friday and things got a bit out of hand. Games: Inside, Furi, Styx: Master of Shadows, Minecraft, Brigador.
Now that the team is almost back to full strength (Andy went home with hay fever), let Samuel and Tom fill you in on their surprise hits and misses of E3. Also, Phil's been playing Overwatch. He apologises and endeavors to play something new for next week. Finally, what is a Tom Senior game, and why should you spend about £5 on one?
This week, things get intimate. With Andy trapped up a mountain, Samuel and Phil settle in for a two man heart-to-heart. Sam sets the record straight on his E3 experience. Phil experiences the ordeal of Trials of the Blood Dragon. Also: is the Xbox One doomed? What games would you take to a desert island? Do you have internet on this desert island? Why is nobody coming to help you off this desert island? Discussed: Watch Dogs 2, Trials of the Blood Dragon, Agents of Mayhem, Batman: Arkham Knight...
An E3 has happened. Now that the businessmen have let slip the #content, it falls to the PC Gamer team to make sense of it all. Phil, Andy and Chris huddle around a mic to run through the conference announcements. What can we learn from the Mass Effect trailer? Is there any reason to care about Skyrim Remastered? Will Forza Horizon 3 be worth playing, despite its inevitable douchebag? Is Call of Duty good now? And, most importantly of all, why, Kojima, why? Discussed: E3 This Week: Phil Savage, ...
