One Life Left's Podcast

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!

Dearest faithful, some might say long suffering, podcast listeners! Here for your delectation is the podcast version of our LIVE Twitch show from Tuesday 26th September, performed as part of Pickaxe Podcast Week on the Yogscast Twitch channel!!

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. Link below! TTFN, Team OLL x Li

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! This week Simon invents a new way to play Mario Kart, Ste dreams of mazes, Kojima dreams of space, Lego scores a Goooal and we think about haptics and ponder puzzle plagiarism! Maraoke will be in Brighton on July 11th!! Check the link below for tickets... Info regarding the next London event will be there too! We got A letter!! We'd love more, though... Please send your letters to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord to talk about the show, amongst other things, and fire a letter to us on there. Link below!

This week our intrepid hosts get all emotional and have a showcase showdown/meltdown, Charlesbot reminisces about the lockdown and Simon turns his house into a pub.

This episode, dear listeners, we find out the latest chapter in The Life Of Simon's Steam Deck - what you hear might shock you! Also, yes, I might've thrown the word "Zelda" into the title to see if it affects download numbers BUT we do a deep dive into the latest Zelda game and why it may or may not be for YOU. Or just what Simon and Ste think, anyway.  Meanwhile, we discover Simon only has two hands, Ste can't be hurt anymore, Yuji Naka plays The Escapists for research purposes (maybe) and The Lord of the Rings must always have TM at the end (possibly) but Gollum is still bad. No, really. He's an evil character with no real redemptive arc. He just goes along with things and destroys the ring accidentally through his own desire to own it! What do you mean you didn't know that? The book is 68-9 years old and the last movie came out almost 20 years ago, it's not a spoiler anymore! Next you'll be saying you never knew Rosebud was a sled and the cake was a lie! Ah, who am I kidding - nobody reads this anyway!

From Simon's trampolining skills and Fast Five Favourite Golf Games to Ste's love of cricket and impending trip to Wembley to see Stockport County FC, this is very much The Sport Episode! Apart from when it's a Zelda Episode... and a Sinden Lightgun Episode... But still mainly Sport. Welcome to One Life Left, a radio show/podcast about video games! To prove that we also discuss a game price push back, Zelda selling 10million units in 3 days, Disney tweaking Speedstorm, "exclusive" details from the upcoming 2023 PlayStation Showcase, backseat gaming and Mortal Kombat Discord Discourse. Ste also goes tops off in the exclusive podcast intro. We spoil you!  Tell us your thoughts about Kingdoms of Wanderlust!

Welcome once again, dearest listeners, to another episode of One Life Left. A video game radio show and "home" of Mortal Kombat news! This week we talk about a new game about 80's puppet sensation Terrahawks' main baddie, Zelda, there's MTV Awards shenanigans, Asus has a Steam Deck rival, Simon builds a terrifying trampoline terrifyingly and, yes, the MS/Activision deal is still crawling along. It just won't go away. Like COVID! Which reminds me... this is the 100th episode since the first "Lockdown" edition!! Wow... how far we've come, eh listeners?!  Meanwhile we have an SSG in the form of James Parker from Ground Shatter, here to talk about Fights in Tight Spaces coming to Playstation and Switch, fact checking Mortal Kombat news and DLC teasing, amongst many other things...  There's also another Maraoke coming up on Saturday 20th May at Sub Zero in That London. All the deets at the link below! Do you think the MS/Activision saga will ever end?! Write in and let us know at team@onelifeleft.com or roll ac

The original 15 minutes of this episode was so hilarious, so gut-punchingly incendiary and close to the bone that MI5 burst through all our doors, closed the whole thing down and made us start again from scratch. At gunpoint. Like anyone would believe that Ste could forget to press the record button after 17 years of doing this?! Ha! We're just too edgy and dangerous for The Man! Welcome to the latest episode of One Life Left - video game related radio show, podcast and the cool kid all your parents warned you about. Yeah.  This week's Super Special Guest is Tony Gowland, here to talk about upcoming game Dungeon Golf, public playtests, solving the Rubik's Cube and The King! We also deal with Phil Spencer admitting defeat, upcoming RPG Street Fighter 6 aiming for 10 million sales, Respawn apologising for Jedi's acting badly and Karl Urban plays Mortal Kombat 2... or something. Then there's more news, letters, reviews and general edginess than you can shake a stick at.  Have you been sent emails with "flesh"

Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left, the podcast edition of the video game radio show that is occasionally actually about video games! This week we even have a Super Special Guest: (almost veteran) Steve Hollis from Noisy Head Games! Here to talk about Beyond the Long Night (out now!) and the fact that he won at Easter this year with his Super Special Egg that included chunky dinosaurs! We also have Sega going angry birdwatching, cheese straw inflation, Super Mario & Nintendo troll Maraoke and Charlesbot v1.0 speaks elvish for YOU for FREE!! Meanwhile, find out where the cheapest place to pre-order Tears of the Kingdom is. The answer will astonish you! Who, me? Being click-baity?! Never...  Tickets for our next Maraoke event are already available and we're not even out of April yet! It's on Saturday 20th May at Sub-Zero - link down below! Should we put Ste on a Performance Improvement Plan? Have you ever met Cliff Bleszinski?? Have you got another video game based question and/or m

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! It's like the first day of Spring has finally landed, with Sega blue skies, the sound of birdsong and happy gunshots ringing in the air around OLL Towers! We're joined by another NewsBot (3.0?!) as Ste has been busy in his lab, tinkering away to make the bot more *alive*! This week E3 is no more (this year), The Last of Us PC port makes NewsBot cross despite everything being better on the Steam Deck and new features are revealed on Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that get universal thumbs up in the Byron household. There are also Bafta award shenanigans, games getting released unfinished, Simon travels through time to publish the world's best game and Ste, I dunno, goes to the moon. Meanwhile the integrity of my notes is called into question, dear listener! Would I lie to you?!  There's also a WASD report that includes a press office smelling of meat. Honestly. It's all in here.  Letters are the lifeblood of our show, dear listeners, so please sen
