One Life Left's Podcast

This week stuff happened. What stuff? Well you could just listen to the episode to find out OR maybe you're reading this at some point in the future when there are thousands of OLL episodes and you're searching through the notes, trying to find something specific... Hello, listeners from the far flung future! How is your commercially viable rocket-pack? Are you living on Mars? In this episode you will find that Simon hates books, Ste talks sausages, Rockstar devs have leaky offspring, PlayStation cause a content licensing/ownership stir and Yorkshire Tea think you'll spend £150 on one of their branded controllers... WHY?? It doesn't even come with any of their teabags!! Anyway... In the latest Tales From Japan we see our intrepid pair (plus Responsible Adult) take on the Nintendo Store in full Supermarket Sweep style! Meanwhile Maraoke does Jingle Jam! On Friday 8th December at 5pm GMT (according to the Yogscast schedule) we will be LIVE on the Jingle Jam Twitch Stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/yogscast Th

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! In this episode Ste confuses a Royal Mail employee LIVE ON AIR, Simon has a new laptop that doesn't seem as bad as strangers on the internet make it out to be, Ubisoft assassinates Assassin's Creed pop-up ads, Gamemaker goes free (for some), Fortnite to have a Big Bang, Activision watch what you watch and we ponder past PR pop-ups. Meanwhile, in a world where it seems to be getting more acceptable to put Xmas decorations up in November, we have the second of our features that absolutely nobody is calling Tales from Japan that sees our dynamic duo (plus Responsible Adult) visit an arcade. In Japan, obviously. What happened, dear listeners? I thought we were friends?? How come you don't write to us anymore?!? Why don't you send us some "media recommendations" or tell us if you know what "the dogs are barking" means at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our friendly Discord server and drop a letter for us on there. Link below! TTFN, Team OLL x Links: The OLL

Welcome back, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week I, Phil the Undercaretaker, try not to get jealous as we hear Part I of (kind of new feature, I suppose) Tales from Japan! (I need to work on that title... it was a last minute decision...) Meanwhile we discover just who the heck Jonathan Smith is and why he's the Responsible Adult. There's also Simon in a plane toilet, Ste still being jetlagged, Charlesbot getting annoyed by Geoff Keighley, people exchange money, scalpers have love for the PS Portal, DLC thoughts and a 25 year old game gets an update! Woo! Do you play inappropriate video games in public? What is Simon paralyzed by?? Will we find out next week?!? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or jump into a jet plane and fly across to our Discord to chat and leave a letter on there. Link below!

This week we might mention that we're going to Japan. Did we mention that we're going to Japan? Well, we're going to Japan. In fact, by the time you read this we'll be up in the air or there already! Excitement!!! Anyway, besides all that, in this episode we have Simon's squeaky chair, Ste's dislike of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, an accidental bank account shutdown, a game is too hot for Microsoft and Nintendo, lots of people play Fortnite again, Lords of the Fallen gets harder and Modern Warfare gets forced on people. Kind of. How many pairs of pants do you take on holiday? How many bank accounts have you opened this week?? What are the account details and your Mum's maiden name?? Send your answers to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Regular correspondence, questions and ponderings are also welcomed. Or join our Discord and hurl love/abuse at us there. Link below!

We suffered some technical issues not of our making yet again this week, folks, so apologies in advance for any drop in quality you may experience. You'll be hearing a few apologies during the show, too, though I (Phil the Undercaretaker) will hold my hand up and say that I don't think it's all that bad. It certainly could've been worse... and, admittedly, if I'd edited out much more then all the apologies and some of the in-show comments wouldn't have made much sense so... there we go. Despite all that, we still have a bumper show for you! This week we hear about Ste's Challenging Weekend(TM), we get a cheese explosion update and Simon speculates on a Switch 2 launch date (he was right about F-Zero so get to the bookies!) We also have a big week in GTA history, Ste's cat behaves weirdly, Blizzard are out for blood, we learn how to smell like Shadow Moses Island and Simon gets so cross about Dreamlight Valley that he breaks the internet! Have you ever been sailed down the Thames as part of a PR stunt? If so

Is Simon wearing trousers? Is he a firestarter, a twisted firestarter?! Is any of this real any more? Maybe I'm AI and haven't even realised. Maybe we're all programmed by Ste! I think this has been considered before... I must need a defrag. Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week we find out whose logo is biggest, Skull Island: Rise of Kong battles is up for worst game of the year but it's what's inside that counts and Netflix consider swooping for GTA. There's also another dose of ClickMate and the team ponder adventures in Japan. The excitement is building! Have you been waiting for our intrepid duo in Regent's Park? Do you want to make a claim for travel expenses due to them not showing up?? If so then write to us at team@onelifeleft.com and we'll look into your case. Or join our Discord! There you can leave a letter, expenses claim and join in the general banter. Link below! TTFN, Team OLL x Links: The OLL Everything (including Discord) Link!: http://hello.onelifeleft.c

Welcome once again to another episode of the One Life Left podcast! This week we have games making Ste poorly, Simon goes to EGX, hackers do hacking, kittens cause minor distraction, Joe Cornish's tv/radio hosting advice, Chris Conroy hangs around in Regent's Park, Molyneux uh oh and All The Mechanics! Plus the MS/Activision 100 Year Saga IS FINALLY OVER!!!! Possibly. Until something else happens. It's a bumper show! There's also more of that new feature from Simon that doesn't officially have a name yet (ClickMate?) so I'll continue to unimaginatively call it Simon Swipes Right. We've got more of that. We asked and you delivered but we need more letters, please. MORE!! We crave your interaction via the medium of the written word!!! Deliver them lovingly to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord! You can leave us a letter there as well. Link below!

Hello listeners. Ste here, because Undertaker Phil's computer has stopped working. In this episode: two old men talk about videogames. That's basically it but if you need more detail I've got you: Ste's clothing choice surprises Simon, Charlesbot yells the news over some slightly too loud audio, Animal Crossing causes emotional and financial problems, Simon's new feature returns (it needs a name) and there's one (ONE) letter from the ever-dependable Chris Conroy. We need more letters. Send us a letter.  Discord link: http://hello.onelifeleft.com (there's a link to Ste's new game in there, but we don't talk about that on the show) OK. That's everything. I'm serious about the letters and we also need a name for Simon's feature AND suggestions for things to do in Tokyo, which is fast approaching. You've got a lot on your to-do list but thanks for listening. We love you. See you soon xoxo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left! We're not on Twitch this week but we have just as much fun! We look at the state of the industry in light of the bad news from Sega, and others, Cyberpunk 2077 has a mission killer that you can still pay £25 quid for, Charlesbot applies for Jim Ryan's job at Sony and Ste has kittens! Plus Simon swipes right in a new feature that currently has no name and I'll continue to call it "Simon Swipes Right" until YOU, dear listeners, write in with a name for it! There's another Maraoke for you, too! On Friday 13th October (we laugh in the face of superstitions!) at The Caf, Canary Wharf, London from 7pm. A link for tickets is below! We emptied our virtual sack of letters last week so PLEASE send us some more!! Fire them to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and pop us a message on there. Link below!

Well, what can I say?! Last week we had an OLL EXCLUSIVE and we didn't even realise it! We proved the old F-Zero rule wrong and Simon correctly announced the F-Zero news before Nintendo did! Witchcraft?! This week Simon holds the fort while Ste gallivants around London, calling in from random places and avoiding being mugged. Simon isn't alone, though - he's joined once more by Super Special Guest Tony Gowland, here to talk about the launch of his new game: Dungeon Golf (out now!) There's also iPhone 15 Pro info, CharlesBot getting very ranty about F-Zero, far fewer technical hiccups than you might imagine would happen and a Unity royalty fee spree, see? Plus letters, reviews and don't forget we have a Maraoke event in Bristol next Wednesday 27th September. A link is below! Speaking of letters: please send more of them, general observations and/or any grievances to us at team@onelifeleft.com for inclusion in a future show, or join our Discord and chuck a letter at us there.

This week, dear listeners, the show is driven by two things: Pure scandal, from the offset, by one of your beloved hosts and, of course, Starfield, because we can't not cover the hottest gaming topic at the moment. It may last a few weeks. We'll see. Regarding the scandal - hop onto our Discord server IF YOU DARE for an exclusive screenshot of the incident that our press office had to work their socks off to avoid hitting the tabloids! Warning: it's not for those of a nervous disposition! Beyond that there's Nintendo in a "will they/won't they reveal anything about F-Zero ever again" shocker (remember the rule: it's always never F-Zero...) and Charlesbot has a lot to think about regarding the possibility of a Broken Sword exclusivity deal... There's also Maraoke info!! We have a Maraoke for you coming up in Bristol on Wednesday 27th September. A link for info and tickets is below. Why do people keep ringing doorbells at lunchtime? Do we really believe Ste was just "looking for his phone"?? Let us know what

Welcome back, dearest listeners, to a new season of One Life Left: the podcast edition of the video game radio show! Hope you've had a great summer! This week we tell you all about our adventures over the past month or so, especially at Gamescom, plus there's topless Ste shenanigans, Starfield in early access (though it'll definitely be out by the time you read this, anyway), Sony shares skyrocketing, Charlesbot wrestling with PlayStation Portal prices and overheard conversations... Meanwhile, as an exclusive for our beloved podcast fans, the intro includes details of our upcoming appearance on the Yogscast Twitch channel for another Pickaxe Podcast Week type thing - if it hasn't already been officially announced then it has now! We will be live on September 26th and we need you to email in and tell us what to actually do! As well as joining us on the day etc... Who rang Ste's doorbell? Do you have any friends from Iceland?? How much is your Star Wars stuff worth??? Let us know and fire your questions for u

This is it, dear listeners - the LAST SHOW EVER (this season)! And what a belter we have for you this week... we have Simon throwing a ball over a house (see our Discord for unquestionable proof), rebuilding Gameboys, Charlesbot plays Hunt the Pikachu with Wifebot, Microsoft might finally be killing the "Gamepass Ultimate Upgrade Hack", Nintendo DS charger difficulties, Ste goes to the PC Zone 30th Birthday bash and The Adventures of TV John (which is arguably better than the last two Indiana Jones films put together). Plus all the usual video game related news, letters and reviews! Meanwhile, did Simon call Ste 'Steve'? This is the end of season cliffhanger that everyone will be discussing all through summer! Fire your letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com or hop onto our Discord and leave a letter for us there, as well as joining in the chat with other like-minded listeners! Letters may/may not win a prize, you never know! Link below! And now it's time to put the boys back in their box for their long summ

In this week's challenging episode, Charlesbot 1.1 fries a circuit when dealing with the MS/Activision resolution(?) news story and almost breaks the show, if not the very internet! Being the professionals that we are, we battle on and wrestle with an easy access battery future, the Gex trilogy coming out again and lots of Develop stuff! We also have an unboxing of the Data Frog SF2000 handheld console and we discover what Simon really thinks of Ste!! (Jingles were added in post, should anyone be confused by talk about them not working...) Next week is the last episode before the Summer holidays so it'll be non-uniform and everyone can bring in a game or toy to play with. Meanwhile, do you think Major Nelson is joining OLL? Should Simon get a red light for his shed and what will the neighbours think?? Let us know by firing your letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and pop a letter there. Link below!

Welcome to another episode of One Life Left! This week our SSG is some bloke called Ste Curran, Creative Director of Magicave, here to talk about new game Beneath the Six and to invite our listeners to join their Discord - link below! There's also Hangry Simon, live (real) Charles Cecil updates, Final Fantasy 7 spoilers, Charlesbot hard sells Call of Duty, making game stuff 'physical' and a short short game recommendations. There's also discussion on sharing game experiences with our kids and Taylor Swift's back catalogue. We spoil you!  Have you ever been scammed out of your Scalextric? Why does Ste want to feel angry so much?? Write in with your suggestions, questions and ponderings to team@onelifeleft.com or hop into our Discord and leave us a letter there Link below!

With a title like that, dear listeners, you'd think this was some sort of RPG special episode but it is not. I can only apologise for misselling it like that, and doubly so to any new listeners, maybe RPG fans, who jumped on board only to find a distinct dearth of goblin, or even orc, slaying action. No, in this episode you will instead learn about turning a drum machine off with your foot, that circuses/circii no longer have smoking bears, Zen and the Art of Releasing Games (which would've been the title but we have a corporate identity to uphold and it wouldn't fit on the graphic) and how not to redact text OR how to redact text badly and (possibly) lose your job!

Welcome, dear listeners, new and experienced, to another episode of One Life Left! This week we learn the perils of recording during a work day as spam callers try to sabotage the show. Repeatedly! There's also Sony moaning about Activision secrets, E3 uncertainty, Super Mario causes Simon some problems and Ste had the flu! Meanwhile, in the Exclusive Podcast Intro, there's the latest OLL financial report! We missed our lunch hour for this!! We hope you're entertained... Tickets for the Maraoke event in Brighton on Tuesday 11th July are selling like a Nintendo console on launch day so be sure to grab your tickets before they run out. Link below! Ste is also running his own style of mini convention in Brighton earlier that day: F-Up Con (or maybe Eff-Up Con... I'm avoiding the obvious swear, here) which will likely take place on the beach in the afternoon. If you're interested in discussing your game dev related failures with other like-minded individuals then reach out to Ste somehow. Either email us or hunt

Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of the podcast edition of One Life Left, the video game related radio show!
