No, that was Bruce Wayne! Remember the song? No? I'm old... and kids are taking over the world already! Maybe it's for the best. We had a good run. Maybe.

Happy New Year, dear listeners! Welcome to 2021 where we won't let a lockdown keep us... down...

It's Wednesday again! What? Already?! Time seems to be zooming by, dear listener. It's as if the universe itself wants to be rid of 2020! However, according to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion and the perception of its flow doesn't correspond to physical reality! Before the Big Bang there was no time! Or space, for that matter, but if there had been would that have meant the entire campaign of a recent Assassin's Creed game could be played through in an instant?! These questions, and many more, are not answered in this episode but Cyberpunk 2077 is out now and we have a good old natter about that amongst other, non-theoretical time-based shenanigans. We also have an SSG this week in the form of Sam Collins from UKIE! Don't forget that this coming Friday (18th December) is the (Online) Maraoke Xmas Party!! Starting at 8pm GMT here: https://www.twitch.tv/singmaraoke Bring your own drinks and snacks of choice! It's beginning to feel a lot like Xmas... Cheerio! Team OLL x Links: https

Hello! As I type this, the entire world is waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 to land in their eager hands after what seems like an eternity. Nothing else matters. Are you looking forward to it, listener? If you live in New Zealand you might even be playing it right now... Exciting! Meanwhile, this week we have an SSG! None other than UKIE's Dr Jo Twist! Also don't forget we have the OLL/Maraoke Xmas party on the evening of Friday 18th December on the Maraoke Twitch channel - link below! It's starting to feel a lot like Xmas! Maybe!

Another jam packed show for you, chock full of video game related shenanigans! Plus we find out how Ste's True Confessions talk at Nordic Game 2020 went - did he save your soul, listener? Not that you can tell us, that'd blow the anonymity! Meanwhile, it's December already! Meaning it won't be long before Father Christmas pays us all a visit, as long as we've been good... and this year we might all get a Covid-19 vaccine from him as well! That's how the distribution works, I'm sure... What are you hoping to get for Xmas, dear listeners? Write in and let us know at team@onelifeleft.com  Cheerio!

Well, after a good run of SSGs, this week sees us return to a cozy (virtual) fireside chat between Ste and Simon, but now we're officially in the "Next Gen" there's news aplenty to get through! Meanwhile, the next date for online Maraoke has been set for December 18th. This will also double up as the (virtual) OLL Xmas Party, maybe even with a (virtual) Secret Santa!

Well, it appears none of us ended up becoming the next President of the USA but, for the third week running, we have a Super-Special Guest: James Parker from Ground Shatter Games! Three SSGs on the run! Is this the new normal?? Meanwhile, the next generation of gaming has begun! Yesterday! Did you get a new Xbox this week, dear listeners?? Phil the (Under)Caretaker did and he's very happy with it so far, though this might be being swayed by the ailing state his original Xbox One was in... Anyway, let us know your thoughts on the new next gen and gaming in general at team@onelifeleft.com and your letter may be read out on a future episode. There are no prizes but you'll get a warm fuzzy feeling inside! Remember: Stay safe out there, listeners! Cheerio!

Well, dear listeners, who would have thought it? For the second week on the trot we have a Super-Special Guest on the show!! Zach Weddington joins us to talk about his new multi-part documentary, Arcade Dreams, about the 100 year history of arcades and arcade games - links below! In other news, we prepare to enter another "lockdown" here in England whilst over on the other side of the pond, nobody knows who is President of the USA yet (at the time of me typing this...) It could even be me! I mean, highly unlikely but let's not rule it out just yet... Meanwhile: Was the new lockdown orchestrated by Nintendo to try to wreck the next generation launch plans of Microsoft and Sony and drive up sales of Pikmin?? Of course not but I wouldn't be surprised if someone believes it...  It's been a long week... Look after yourselves and stay safe out there, listeners! Cheerio!

It's been a long, long, long, long time - possibly even a record breaking amount of time - since we had anyone else on the show with us but here we are, finally, with a Super-Special Guest! This week we are joined by Brynley Gibson from Systemic Reaction! 'Nuff said! We also managed to find some newsworthy news despite it being yet another quiet week, likely due to some new consoles being released or something. Though we're not being sent any freebies so maybe we won't mention them... Anyway, don't forget to get your letters in to us at team@onelifeleft.com for inclusion in future episodes!! Cheerio!

We're still stuck in our homes, missing the studio and "normal" life in general as the country stands on the edge of a precipice of yet more lockdowns!

Welcome to One Life Left, a radio show about video games!

Hullo! Still no Ann or SSG but we battle on regardless, two stalwarts of the gaming industry vs the post-covid world! Here is episode 3 of the "Lockdown Season", or episode 24 of season 20, or episode 409 in total (not including Lost Episodes etc...) - a subject that could be debated by future historians for years upon unearthing an archive of OLL episodes on a dusty old hard drive found down behind an Ikea rocking chair that nobody seemed to want... Speaking of, if anyone wants an Ikea rocking chair, do let us know! This is One Life Left, a radio show about video games! Is the sound quality better this week? Cheerio!

This week we discover the top 3 items for panic buying during lockdown were, in fact, toilet paper, hand sanitizer and Ring Fit Adventure! Who would've thought?! We also drag memories of The Generation Game back from the depths, consider buying the PS5 Tape Deck Edition and discover Ste's one and only video game purchase from Morrisons! It will astound you!

After the longest break in OLL history, the team are back! Well, two of us are - Get well soon, Ann! Recorded from the comfort of our own homes, amongst other things we ponder why Eastenders tried to ignore covid, how good a deal the new Xbox is and how much money we'll spend on Nintendo with the upcoming release of "Super Mario 3D - (Almost) All (of the) Stars"! Not forgetting Simon's magic laptop cover. Covid-19, the lockdown and coping in a "new normal" world can't keep us down! Cheerio!

Who doesn’t watch the Watchmen? It’s one of the most iconic questions of all time, and we finally answer it in this episode. Other questions that we asked are: - Did Ste get any disapproving looks over the weekend? - What is Simon not going to do in San Francisco? - How many consoles do the RNIB own? - What is Simon’s latest purchase? - What are the ingredients of pasta? - Did Ann break her Switch? - What is pre writing? - How many tweets do you need to prove Simon wrong? - What’s happening with GDC Maraoke?

No Super-Special Guest this week, but we did have Simon ‘Two Mics' Byron in the studio which we weren't expecting, and neither was he. But why was he in the studio, and did it have anything to do with Ann's big news story? We planned an OLL Road Trip/Roadshow, but I wasn't invited so I'm not really that bothered about it. In fact I was accused of being the OLL Super-Spreader, which I could be offended by, but I think it's the OLL equivalent of the Tiswas Phantom Flan Flinger so I'm taking it as a compliment. We also found out which of the team had been inappropriate at work, worked out if a car was cosmetic, and decided if we were on the side of Netflix or Chooseco. Cheerio!

The mystery of the missing stamps is still ongoing. Or, for the returning Ann, it starts today. Given the recent announcement of a price rise this means that the absent package will be worth 8.5 percent more at the end of the month than it did when they were first sent. If we don't find them by the end of the year they will be likely worth millions. We tried to work out if Switches were stereotyped, didn't try to work out what the plural of a Switch is, Ann forgot and then remembered a very good joke, and Simon got a bit upset about the Geforce Now. We also learnt about a cross promotion that Angry Birds was doing, but given it was Angry Birds maybe we should have said it was a very cross promotion. Clever wording we know, cheers. Cheerio!

What do you do for videogame news when your HR director/first choice newsreader is on approved holiday? Normally we would go to our second choice local newsreader, but he was watching 1917 for his 40th birthday and couldn't really be bothered to write anything (see also: all Local News features for the past two seasons). This meant Ste and Simon had to resort to crowdsurfing the news instead. Of course, they could have spent ten minutes writing some jokes themselves, but where is the fun in that. Unfortunately for the show, but luckily for the prospective guest, and unluckily for Simon's affections we didn't manage to get a Super-Special Guest this week. This meant that we had some additional time to talk about VR and how it has changed over the past few years, but more importantly we spoke about how Ste has damaged VR headsets over the years. We also explained our innovative ways that we loaded games in the past, tried to work out where our post was, and had a Mario Tennis review rally. Cheerio! Team OLL
