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..

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
