Have you ever just focused a little too much on the forehead part of the face? Now all I see is forehead... just an expanse of flat head space. Foreheads look weird to me now. Is it just me? In this episode, Rob sticks with Atomic Heart and his retro streak, Zac does ungodly things to Pokémon and logic and Dan "Lynches" us.
Mar 26, 2023•Ep. 340
Rob to his stomach the morning after recording a podcast and eating his bodyweight in pizza: "It was worth it". In this episode, Zac goes nuclear in Captain of Industry and Rob goes retro and futuristic with Atomic Heart. A portion of news served as a dipping sauce is included.
Mar 11, 2023•Ep. 339
We're throwing everything at you in this episode, including a washing machine, which is more than Sony's recent State of Play. Zing! We've got Hi-fi Rush, Captain of Industry, Yakuza 5 and two Wipeout games! Monster, monster!
Feb 26, 2023•Ep. 338
Life literally got in the way last week. Luckily a lot of news happened in the gap so there's a bunch to talk about. Rob checks out a shadow drop from Tango Gameworks, Zac tries some upcoming "base building" games and we cover the first "directs" of the year.
Feb 12, 2023•Ep. 337
In this episode we talk about Andor, Marvel film names, more light gun games, Captain of Industry and God of War: Ragnarok. Yakuza 5 is also here to talk about how snow and ice is 100% frictionless. Just sit on the ground and see where life takes you, free spirited one!
Jan 22, 2023•Ep. 336
New year, new games! 2023 has the makings of a weird year and we're down for that. Zac finds a new puzzle in Captain of Industry and enters a third dimension of creeping with Creeper World 4.

Being as it is the end the December there's not a lot happening in the games industry. Let's take the time to reflect on the year of games as experienced by the happysalad crew whilst our stomachs reflect on the multitude of errors made in recent days.
Dec 28, 2022•Ep. 334
You may criticise us and claim that we "phone it in". Well this week, just for you, Dan is actually phoning it in. And if you weren't saying that then now we know we have to adjust our half tomato shaped, mind reading antenna that's crudely attached to the studio. Thanks either way. In this episode we talk about The Game Awards, hot new Steam releases Dwarf Fortress and Against the Storm, Splatoon 3 updates, God of War Ragnarok and some other cheesey gubbins.

Not into the spooky stuff? That's cool. Turn the lights down, put on a nice pair of headphones, wrap yourself in SaladCast and chill. Those children won't bother you now. In this episode: Metal: Hellsinger, Immortality, Two Point Campus and new factory games Techtonica and Foundry.

Feeling [insert relevant emotion] about [insert crisis]? Worried you can't [insert triumphant verb] through the [insert time period]? Then maybe you [insert require synonym] this episode of the Saladcast to [insert something] your [insert unrelated noun]. We've got BallisticNG to lift you up, Vermintide to get rid of rats, Splatoon to cover up your mistakes and a quantity of Metal we manufactured in a Factorio we totally didn't just find in hell. We'll find a use for that. [catchy phrase] [insin...

It's been an eventful peiod of time here in the UK, one we cannot possibly do any justice representing. We'll rely on our old friend, gaming news, to help us through. In this episode we'll cover Sony's State of Play, Nintendo's Direct and Ubisoft's Forward. On top of that Rob's been playing Splatoon 3 and Zac's been drinking virtual beer.
Sep 20, 2022•Ep. 327
It's time to open up new pork markets and hoard your cheese, the SaladCast is running its collective mouths. In this episode we've got EEAAO as nobody calls it, LOTR as some people have called it, the popular acronym BoTW and misleadingly ONI. There's also non-abbreviated content such as the Splatfest Premiere, Hollow Knight and VR... dammit!
Sep 04, 2022•Ep. 326
Warning. Dan's Star Wars canon has fired off some fresh rant rounds. Please step back from the blast radius. Also in this episode, Splatoon 3, Hollow Knight, Redout 2, Oxygen Not Included and more VR fun times.

If you don't consume your happysalad then you can't have any moody dessert. So eat up. There's a good listener. In this episode, Rob finishes Bugsnax and jumps into VR whilst Zac continues to build and rebuild in Factorio and mine with guns in DRG.
Aug 07, 2022•Ep. 324
At what point in life does "sleep is for foo's" become "sleep is soooo goooood"? Don't underestimate sleep my friends. In this podcast we have cereal debating, some talk about Bugsnax, the runes of Tunic and a beer cult.
Jul 25, 2022•Ep. 323
Hot diggety ears, we've struck podcast! We were looking for gold or the fabled "earth pizza" but this will do. In this episode we've got some new stuff to talk about including Shadow Warrior 3, Rogue Legacy 2 and Redout 2. Zac checks in with the space exploration mod (not the expansion) in Factorio and Rob sees what's going down in Fall Guys (it's you).

This week, Square Enix put their money where there mouth is. Or is it their mouth where their money is. Either way they were hungry for money so we talk about it before we get too hungry for pizza. Also in this episode we have Deep Rock Galactic Season 2, more game delays, The Gunk and Pikuniku.

We're a little light on games news and game playing this week so it time to get rambly. Take a stroll with us through to cosy dales of chat in this less focused, laid back podcast. There arte still some games though. We talk a bit about Tunic, Rocket League Sideswipe, Astroneer and Fortnite??? Whatever next?
Apr 16, 2022•Ep. 316
At some point in history, Gnomes invaded Ireland and forced out the native Leprechauns. On this day we remember the senseless violence between the blades of grass. Once done with that we'll talk about Playstation Plus, Bungie's legal foibles, Tunic, Boba Fett, Kirby and a dinosaur-based-city-building-rogue-like. Correction: The Leprechauns actually won.
Apr 03, 2022•Ep. 315
Season 13 is here! Another arbitrary length of time has passed and it's probably best we don't dwell on its insistence to keep passing. This week: Mario Kart 8 DLC concerns, Borg combat techniques, cow multiplication and State of SONY. Zac checks in on 7 Days to Die and Rob keeps Game Passin' it up with Guardians of the Galaxy.
