Zac, Dan and Rob talk for nearly three hours about technology into a microphone and place it upon the internet. Business as usual. At the same time Naomi is smug that she used the same time to do some sewing, complete the ironing and still have time to catch up on her twitter feed. This entire evening reeks of progress, no? In this episode: Nintendo NX, Cities Skylines, Assassin's Creed III, Homeworld Remastered, Infinifactory, Forza Horizon 2, DiRT 3, Spaceships and a lot of PC gubbins....

I don't work in the manufacturing industry but if I did I would want everything to be made by robot arms, possibly robot arms making robot arms to make more robot arms. Perhaps this is the true singularity. It’s got nothing to do with AI, just a pile of robot arms that eventually engulfs the planet. Oh how I muse. In this episode: Sunset Overdrive, Halo Nightfall, Infinifactory, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Factorio, Guild Wars 2, Hololens, Halo 5: Guardians and Transistor.

It's official, January sucks. Trying to remember how you functioned before having a ton of time off to just lounge about and play video games is really hard, the gaming news dries up and it’s cold.

In our first podcast of 2015 we talk about a few films, DDoS attacks, Valkyria Chronicles, Guild Wars 2, Transistor, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Halo 5, Sunset Overdrive.

According to dispatch emails from Tesco Direct, games can now be shipped and have a chance to arrive BEFORE they were shipped. If there's some secret time travel tech being used in large scale consumerism then local business is really going to struggle now. Does Amazon have secret teleporters? Does ASDA stock it’s shelves by ballistic cannon? Does Morrison’s have high speed underground mag-levs deploying pies across the nation? If any of this is true, the Pizza delivery business needs to invest ...

Inspiration is a lot like a bus service, unreliable at best. You never know when it might hit you, placing something amazing in your head only for it to leave you at the precise moment you can act upon it. Such is the life of a Podcast blurb writer.

Zombies: Garden Warfare, Kerbal Space Program, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Little...

At this moment, writing something topical and entertaining seems to be the last thing my brain wants to attempt. Having just finished my working day, my thoughts are littered with fragments of code, all swimming through a sea of tabs, keywords and semicolons, battling for my attention. They will not get it now but their time of rest is some way off. Developers are weird. In this episode we discuss our old game making endeavours (again), Unity, New 3DS, Twitch, Quantum Break, Pokken, Super Smash ...

So despite it being an episode with a number that coincides with one of Rob's favourite game series, we fail to bring up the connection with John-117, better known as Master Chief. So now the connection has been made Rob can continue his internal monologue that constantly hypes the Halo Master Chief Collection. In this bumper episode we talk a lot of crap but also mention Gamescom, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Super Time Force, Super Time Force Ultra, Forza Horizon 2, Minimum, Plants Vs. Zomb...

As Odysseus sailed the ocean there came a faint sound drifting through the air. An enticing sound that would bring all but the strongest of men to their knees.
