One Life Left's Podcast

Welcome, dearest listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left RADIO SHOW because, first and foremost, it is a radio show on ResonanceFM, our faithful home since neolithic times. ResonanceFM are currently having their fundraiser for 2025 so please check out their fundraising page and help out, if at all possible: https://fundraiser.resonance.fm/ Meanwhile, on this week's episode, Ste's going to UKIE (maybe with magic tricks), Simon renamed the Northern Line (OK, just the one station), Sega want your deets, video game prices only going up, digital winning, Switch 2 - finally - and Video Game History Foundation do Good Stuff!! We also have our report from Pocket Gamer Connects, which includes a bad bouncer at The Piano Works, and EXCLUSIVELY reveal the Switch 2 release date. Maybe. DO NOT FORGET - Simon has challenged all of you to a game of darts. Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough etc etc. Hop on to Discord and start trash talking*. PLUS there's that Maraoke in London on Saturda

This week we start 2025 again because last week was just a practice run. There's Microsoft making more handheld noises, Ubisoft postpone Assassin's Creed Shadows again and is Half Life 3 on the horizon? We also "exclusively" reveal that the Switch 2 will be released on March 3rd which happens to be my birthday making the Switch 2 an ideal, if not perfect, birthday present, hint hint! Meanwhile next week the boys are off to Pocket Gamer Connects in that London so, if you're there or thereabouts, hunt them down! Simon is also open to any and all challenges to his darts supremacy from all our listeners - give him a shout on our Discord server and a link to his magic dart board is in the review links below!

Join us as OLL hurtles towards it's 19th year, dearest listener, and for Simon's NYE tale of woe - a Kafkaesque Meta magnum opus if ever there was one! (Listeners on our Discord have already had a brief snippet but hear him tell the full story here without him using any F, S, B or C bombs!) Meanwhile we also have a crazy number of Steam games in 2024, Atari teasing a new handheld, Rockstar have bins and Notch teasing Minecraft fans. There's also a date for the next Maraoke (Saturday 8th February, might have a link next week...) and Block Words hits iOS! And I've been saying "BLOCKWORDS" all this time, what a fool! Feed us with your letters! They're what keep us alive!! Send us your 2026 games industry maxim suggestions!! We've got this! Do the thing! Send them to us at team@onelifeleft.com.

Thought you'd heard the last from us in 2024, did ya?! Well, you were wrong! Santa's put you on the nice list so here's a bonus episode of OLL just for YOU. This episode was originally broadcast on September 24th this year on the Yogscast Twitch channel as part of Pickaxe Week and has a Super Special Guest in the form of Ozan from Perfectly Paranormal showing off their latest game: The Holy Gosh Darn. Amongst other things he also reveals some cheat codes for the game "exclusively" for OLL! It's the sort of thing you'd usually have to write in to GamesMaster for!! Caveat: This episode was fully intended to be SEEN and, as such, there's probably a fair number of visual puns and general shenanigans that don't work as well in an audio podcast... Sorry! If you want to watch the full glorious technicolour video version then it's on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOPjt6j3sGE Why not escape from the family and bad TV over the holidays and write us a letter for one of our future episodes?! Zap them

Hope you're full of festive cheer, dear listeners! We have a Santa's sack full of gaming related goodies for you this week. There's Game Awards bla bla bla, Balatro is still pronounced Balatro, more Game Awards bla bla bla, Ciri grows up, DBrand's cheeky Switch 2 "reveal", Funko Pop kill itch.io and Xbox get into darts! There's also loads of lovely letters to get through and, with a week to go before the big day, we also chuck a couple of gift ideas your way! What cheese would you use for cheese sandwiches? Who owes Simon twenty quid?? Tell us who you think it is at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord to keep in touch over the holiday break. Link below! We hope you have a Merry Xmas, dear listeners, and here's wishing you all the very best for 2025!

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dearest listeners! This week we have Devolver delays, PS2 sells loads, Xbox fight Google, Slow Game Club and the Lego Bond we nearly got!!!

Don't forget that Maraoke will be LIVE on the Jingle Jam stream on Twitch on Saturday 7th December at 5pm AND tickets are still available for the Maraoke Xmas Party on Friday 13th December at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington High Street: https://maraoke.com/xmas2024 There's only two more OLLs before Xmas!!

This week there are flimsy cards, Simon turns 53, Sony attempt another handheld and shadows are important! There's also undercover "journalism" as Ste goes all Cook Report and stalks/hounds/illegally records/chats to (delete as appropriate) Keith Stuart at GaMaYo! Which is also where we had a great time and heard A codename for the Switch 2! But was it the correct codename?! Only time will tell... Meanwhile Maraoke will be hitting the Jingle Jam stream on December 7th and don't forget the Maraoke Xmas Party which is on Friday 13th December at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington High St. Tickets are available NOW: https://maraoke.com/xmas2024 Would you eat out-of-date video game related food??

Before you ask - no, this is not an Xbox (Hi, Microsoft! Thought you might appreciate us playing along with your latest PR campaign! Send any payments/Xbox goodies to us via the usual email, OK? Ta!) This week, dearest of listeners, we have Overcooked! revelations, Xbox do marketing (see above), Nintendo patrol the high seas for pirates (ah harr!), game "awards" and starter packs? Starter packs!! Yes please! Meanwhile, why on earth is Simon's wife sending photos to Ste?!? Listen to find out!! The Maraoke Xmas Party (Friday 13th December at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington High St) tickets are available NOW from here: https://maraoke.com/xmas2024 Would a Switch Pro disappoint you? What game would make you cancel a trip to Guildford?? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord and drop us a line there. Link below!

This week we ask the BIG questions: Who is following us on Bluesky? What is a turnip driver? Is a disk drive a dongle?? We also discover AI's weakness, Netflix kill off their interactive shows, the Borderlands movie never happened, Ste shoots all the time in everyday life, Simon has "beef" with "the man" and what exactly is all this UKIE shenanigans, anyway?! We also talk about upcoming appearances at GaMaYo (Thursday 21st November in Wakefield) and the Maraoke Xmas Party (Friday 13th December)! Can you fix an extractor fan? Do you know anything about the Switch 2? Let us know (or not) at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord and drop us a letter on there there. Link below!

WARNING: This show contains a brief mention of private body parts that Ste probably still hasn't heard! Shocking! It's OK, though, coz it's related to something glow-in-the-dark that was bought in Blackpool! Oo-er! ANYWAY! SSG klaxon ahoy! This week we are joined by Paul Monaghan who recently interviewed Simon as part of his amazing work collecting games magazine journos and telling their stories whilst not sharing any gossip! From Googling how to spell his name correctly I also suspect he's from the same part of the world as I am so that makes him even more of a top chap, obviously! Meanwhile, we also have Nintendo inventing music, Charlesbot pretending he needs more practice at reading the news and Nvidia being bigger than anything! Ste and Simon also go on a world tour to hunt down dodgy/knock-off/pirated videogames for you, dear listener! (Does that make the holidays OLL expenses...?) If you're reading this nonsense and it's not yet Friday 8th November, we have a FREE Maraoke event at Loading in Stok

Isn't it horrible when someone leaves you out of something? Well, dear listeners, this week we discover how a veteran Edge writer has been left out of a new periodical written by veteran Edge writers!!! The injustice!! We also have Charlesbot evolving into something that swears and says "aaah" a lot, the "console arms race" has levelled out and it's Tetris aaaaaaall the way down. Tetris! Plus much more... Meanwhile we have another Maraoke event coming up and this time it's FREE! Friday 8th November at Loading in Stoke Newington. Get your tickets HERE! Like Pac-Man gobbling up those questionable pills, we devour your letters and need MORE OF THEM!!! Feed us letters so we can temporarily defeat the ghosts that constantly haunt us each and every day!!! You might even win a game or something. Send your letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord and send a letter to us on there whilst also joining a UKIE subcommittee. Link below! TTFN, Team OLL x Links: The OLL Everything (including Discord) Li

Hello! Welcome to another episode of One Life Left - the podcast version of the video game radio show that is now "officially" old enough to buy alcohol (in the UK, anyway). This week we have more licence "owning" shenanigans, speculate over top secrets at Nintendo (who have also just invented the alarm clock), Konami get cosy with FIFA, Ste had general anaesthetic AND created a bot while Simon had a board meeting. LETTERS! LETTERS?? LETTERS!!! We love 'em! We want MORE of 'em! PLEASE!? Send your letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord and send a letter to us on there. Link below!

This week Field Commander Byron starts a war against TIGA (maybe), Ubisoft shares take a nosedive and Nintendo sues on the Daly, amongst many other things, gaming and non-gaming related.

This week we have Kojima doing his usual, Zelda winning stuff, Kutaragi claims everyone thought PS would fail and do you buy or lease your games?! Does anyone actually know anymore?!? Meanwhile Field Commander Byron went to Spain and Ste continued work apace on the OLL game now known as "Make Diamonds"! Don't forget there's another Maraoke coming up this Friday (4th October) at Loading Stoke Newington! Grab your tickets quickly HERE! Have you ever woken up in Spain? What's your choice of pub?

On the show this week we have more Switch 2 rumours while Nintendo take Palworld to court and Sony pour $400million down the drain at the same time as preparing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation. Woo! Meanwhile we have another Maraoke coming up on Friday 4th October at Loading Stoke Newington! Tickets available HERE! Would you like to hear your name read out on the show?

It's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 2024 as Simon continues his quest for world domination via election to the board of UKIE!! If you're eligible to vote then VOTE SIMON and it'll be drinks for everyone around at Buck House if he gets voted in*! Meanwhile we also ponder how to pronounce Godot, question how many more lamp-posts the PS5 Pro will give us and apologise for the lack of Switch 2 news last week, amongst other things... We need more ideas for our appearance on Yogscast next week (Tuesday 24th Sept), dear listeners!

This is the last episode of this season - join us next season to find out what happens in the adventures of our intrepid duo! This has been a One Life Left production brought to you by Ste Curran voiced by Steve Kurran and Simon Byron voiced by Bainsy Bainsington.

Well, listeners, this week It Did Not Come Home. Unless your home is in Spain, obviously. Meanwhile Simon goes on stage, Nintendo get scary and Mickey Mouse gets pickpocketed.

This week we learn that things are going to be "OK" whilst, also, that there is always fear. It's an important life lesson that we probably don't make enough song and dance about. Also, at the point of recording AND of the podcast release of this episode, IT may still be coming home. I mean, IT likely won't but we're in that Schrödinger's Football Championship zone where anything can happen. However, if you're reading these notes at any point after about 10pm on July 10th 2024 then all of this is irrelevant. Also, hi, how's the apocalypse? Anything like Fallout? Let us know at etc etc... Meanwhile, we also hear about a Holland Park Gallic rejection, Bioware let us cheat death, Nintendo promise Switch 2's for everyone and a man gets in trouble for fidgeting with his Master Sword in public. It's true. Note from The Undercaretaker - Ste mentions something about beds at the start of the reviews section this week which leads Simon on to talking about Minecraft. This might not make sense but it's related to the
