Categorising things is fun, right? Jay spent a little time categorising everything on the site, and here are the categories.

Challenges

We’ve played some of our favourite video games that often that we’ve started to get a little - "bored" isn’t the word, more like "creative" - with how we play them.
And we thought we’d start writing out challenges down, so that others could take part in them..

Developer Interviews

We’ve had the chance to talk with some of the important people behind the games that we love. And this page catalogues every single time we’ve had a natter with one of those developers.

egx

The Eurogamer Expo (or EGX) is a pretty big deal here in the UK. We’ve been a few times, and even podcasted about the three first days of our visit in 2019. Here is where you’ll find all of the posts relating to our visits to EGX.

Jaffa Cakes

Are they a cake? Are they a biscuit? Who cares. They are an essential part of the Waffling Taylors experience - in the UK, for tax purposes, they are a cake - They are also super yummy, and we sent some to the Coding Blocks folks

Japan

Seen as a sort of Mecca for video gamers, Japan is a place that Jay has visited many times. Back in 2019 (yes, before the world changed), he even visited and took an audio diary of his journey.

Lock-On

We’re big fans of the folks at Lost in Cult and their publication [Lock-On]. And so it was only natural that we’d end up interviewing the folks behind that particular publication. Here are all of the times that we’ve talked with the folks behind it all.

Mini Consoles

Sometimes you don’t want a full blown console in order to play your favourite retro games. Sometimes you want something with the same aesthetic as a console, but is actually just a fancy emulator.
This page lists all the times we’ve talked about both.

Raw with Jay

The Waffling Taylors Raw with Jay is a series of shorter episodes of indefinite length. These episodes will cover shorter topics which don’t really fit well within the scope of the show, or topics that Jay wants to cover in his own way. That’s not to say that we won’t cover these topics in the main show, but he’d like to take a whack at them here, first.

Retro Game Events

Sometimes we attend retro gaming events, and when we do we like to write or podcast about them.

Sonic TuesMonth

For the 30th anniversary of Sonic 2’s worldwide release on the Genesis/Mega Drive, we interviewed some amazing content creators about their memories of Sonic 2. These are those interviews

Spooptober

We like a good spooky thing as much as the next person, and we like to release spooky things during spooky season - which happens to be in October... Spooky + October = Spooptober.

This is where you'll find all of the spoopy things that we released during spooptober.

Steve L Kent Interviews

Towards the end of 2021 our friend Jordan Freeman, CEO of Zoom Platform, approached us and asked whether we would be interested in interviewing Steven L Kent (author of the multi-volume The Ultimate History of Video Games series of books) about his books, the history of the console video gaming, and some of the amazing stories that he has collected from his time in the industry.

The Blog

We started out as a blog, back in 2017 (which was a crazy, drunken idea, dreamed up by Jay in 2016), and this page contains all of the blog posts we've ever written.

We occasionally write the odd blog post these days - though we spend most of our time creating for the podcast these days.

The Cupboard of Shame

In early 2022, Squidge took the idea of The Cupboard of Shame and rebooted it - this time as a one-on-one interview show. He talked through the games that our guests had regretting buying or playing. This page contains links to each episode of The Cupboard of Shame.

The Cupboard of Shame Classic

Sometimes you buy a game because you get caught up in the hype around it. Sometimes it’s something about the box art. But sometimes, those games turn out to be terrible, dreadful, or even worse. These games often end up locked away, where no one will ever know that you were suckered into buying it. This is why Squidge invented The Cupboard of Shame. You can bask in the shared cringe of these games, like a wolf-creature curled up in front of a log fire.

The Podcast

Sometimes you just want to kick back and listen to some video game discussion and nonsense; and that's where we come in.

This page lists every episode of the podcast that we've ever produced. Pick and episode, click the name, and give it a listen.

Waffling Taylors Go To The Movies

Waffling Taylors Goes To The Movies is a series of episodes of the Waffling Taylors podcast where we talk about various video games movies. We aren’t tackling them in any kind of order, and will release them as an when we want. Below are all of the movies we’ve covered so far.

Worth a Try

This series of episodes are all about telling you about games that we think are worth a try. They’re often shorter than the main series, but will hyper focus on the reasons that we would like you to try out a specific game or series.

WT-LITE

Waffling Taylor's Lite: the pocket size podcast that packs a gaming punch.

Sometimes you want a shorter episode, focussing on a single game. That's what WT-Lite gives you: Squidge sits with a single guest and discusses why a specific game is special to them, using a series of off-the-wall questions that were penned by Squidge - with the help of RUSSELL.
