Mat is out this week so it’s left to David, Sean and James to reflect on the events that took place at EGX 2018. James tries to come to terms with being confronted by a developer and David embarrasses himself in front of a listener, or at least he thinks he did. Meanwhile James has a surprise for David and Sean starts to become a Millwall fan.

It’s a big one this week. Not only is it the final episode before our live show at EGX this coming Saturday, but a lot has happened since the last recording. Spider-Man’s mysterious backpacks? Solved. That Spider-Man proposal? Dealt with. The fact that Mat and James thought they were more important than David and Sean and could do whatever they liked and upload an episode of Interface on the TCGS feed and therefore disrespecting everyone associated with the show not to mention every single liste...

This week Mat and James have to face up to the fallout from last week’s debate.

This is it. The Big One. Mat vs James. Farley returns and faces off against Murray over his opinions about the polarising videogame 'Detroit: Become Human'. But Mat isn’t going to just lay down and take it. He wants to fight back. In an episode that will go down in podcasting history as one of the greatest debates of all time, we present episode 117 of The Computer Game Show. David and Sean are also on the podcast.

All four of us are present for the first time in weeks, and we launch straight into an argument about why David's opinion on Yakuza 0 is an issue, whereas the opinion from "My Sean" is perfectly valid. Elsewhere the plate and whether things are technically on or off it is discussed again, plus Fortnite on Android, Nintendo's sales figures, and which TCGS member is most like one of the cast from Only Fools and Horses.

Sean returns but James ruins any chance we had of having a full cast by dropping out just hours before recording. We should be mad really but to be fair to him he’s put the effort in by pre-recording the news and mailing it in. He won’t editorialise it though, no way. Mat reacts to whether the listeners think Super Mario Odyssey is off of his plate or not and David struggles to get back into No Man’s Sky. Games discussed: Nintendo Labo, Mugsters, Fortnite, The Banner Saga 1 & 2, Hollow Knigh...

This week's show is like one of those crime documentaries that you see on Netflix. We go live from the TCGS court where James Farley, who is definitely guilty, tries to defend ROM sites. Judge Turner is not convinced but is willing to hear what the defendant has to say. In a strange turn of events Prosecuting Lawyer Mat Murray has to take to the stands to defend himself over a claim that he has completed the Super Mario Odyssey 500 moon challenge and the Judge has a confession to make about play...

Both James and Sean sit out this week so David and Mat call on an old friend to fill the gap. David finishes The Spectrum Retreat and reveals whether or not it lives up to last week's hype while Mat has to defend his lack of deodorant use. News is a bit thin on the ground this week, but the boys have some news of their own to keep things interesting. EGX 2018 Watch The Computer Game Show LIVE at EGX 2018 on Saturday 22nd September.

With David being ill and Mat and James both nursing hangovers we were a little concerned that this week’s show might be a washout. Turns out that all we needed was more Life is Strange to talk about and an excuse to walk down memory lane. This ended up being a very fun one to record, so you’d better bloody like it.

David and Jon are away AGAIN, so this week it’s a Mat and James special. It’s a serene affair, as the two friends calmly discuss topics such as last week’s Games Media Brit List awards and our EGX live show announcement. And there's other stuff to discuss; from pre-E3 news to questions about contraception. It’s all happening this week. Watch TCGS LIVE at EGX on Saturday 22nd September 2018.

David's unwell and Jon's away, so Mat and James draft in podcast rivals Leon Cox and Darren Gargette from Cane and Rinse for this week's episode. There's a ton of news to get through, with everything from Nintendo's online offering to E3 leaks. Discussion then turns to God of War, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Moss, Laser League and more. Oh and with David being away, Mat's back to edit this week's show. Funny how David said "Oh you'll never edit this show again!" a few weeks ago, and now look. ...

James returns and although he was happy with the show last week, he’s furious with not getting credit for putting the news together. Mat continues to dream about being his favourite Ghostbuster, Gordon. Jon tries to convince everyone that he isn’t a competitive person and David gets put in his place by someone who isn’t on the show.

This week the lads have had to decide who the most important people on the show are and some members aren’t happy with the results. They also talk about performing the show live at Rezzed 2018 and the nightmare of a week that followed. There’s the usual chat about the games they’ve played and the answers they’ve got for listener’s questions but less face it, all you lot care about is the drama.

Tensions rise between all of the hosts as David has a thing or two to say about Mat’s editing. The show moves on to talk about why Steam Boxes failed, whether big budget games have to avoid political issues in order to not alienate an audience and despite A Way Out being disappointing, why they would still recommend you play it. But I’ll be honest, everyone is on tenterhooks throughout. Listen Apple Podcasts Pocket Casts Overcast acast Stitcher SPOnG Watch Twitch YouTube Contact thecomputergames...

David's positive about a game with some negative press, Jon's still angry about a game with mixed press, Mat's largely positive about a game with disappointing press, and James is interested, mostly.

This week Mat lacked the persistence to play Sea of Thieves so David summons the help of James and Jon to talk about it. David could have spoken about it on his own but he really couldn’t be bothered to put all that effort in himself, so instead let the others do it while he sat back and took the credit. Some may think David is a coward for doing this. Actually, most people would. It really shows him up as the sort of person he is. A let down of a man. Listen Apple Podcasts Pocket Casts Overcast...
