Mini Consoles: PlayStation Classic Dream Line Up

Episode 70 of the podcast has Squidge and Jay discuss the PlayStation Classic, and decide on their dream line up for the little console that couldn’t - seriously, the hardware design was obviously phoned in.

Mini Consoles: Mega Drive - Our Dream Line Up (Part 2)

It’s those mini consoles again. This time, Squidge and Jay are back to finish off their dream Mega Drive Mini line up. Did they agree on which games should be included? Do you agree with the games they chose?

Chief returns to talk Mini consoles, metaphors that don’t really work, buying consoles at launch (and why you should never do that), and a little on DRM

Waffle Christmas 2019 - Part 2

Christmas has been and gone - although we recorded this weeks in advance. You wanted more Waffling Taylors? Well, here it is! We talk about the impending Resident Evil 3 remake, wombats (and what’s right with them), and our run down of the best and worst titles of the year.

Waffle Christmas 2019 - Part 1

The end is nigh! … for 2019, anyway. Also, it’s that time of year again: time to figure out just where Santa is. In this episode, we chat with G about the games he has been playing since we last heard from him, a little on MST3K, and a nifty little gadget that both Squidge and I bought.

EGX 2019 Day Two

EGX 2019 day two is over and done with, and here are our thoughts. Including a little about Cyberpunk 2077 (including spoilers), a little cheating to unlock MJ on Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2, and Beckski’s two speedruns.

Egx 2019 Day One

EGX 2019 day one is over and done with, so we thought we’d collect our thoughts on it and put out an episode. We discuss the games we’ve played, the merch we’ve bought, and we even have and interview with Craig Snape about his upcoming game: Kung Fu Jesus.

Hello Squidgey

This isn’t really an episode of the podcast, just a silly project that I’ve been working on. Without Squidgey on the show, there would be no show. So this is a tribute, of sorts, to him.

Hello Squidgey

Spooptober 2018

The Slim Jim Snap

Part two of a multi part, end of year spectacular is a rip roaring adventure with G and The B back in the Technodrome. Everything gets a bit weird, as I completely miss the point of the Harley Quinn character.
