Jay delves into the dark and twisted world of the 1998 video game Shadow Man, exploring its creepy atmosphere, challenging controls, and deeply unsettling themes. With humour and insight, he takes listeners on a journey through Deadside, the afterlife realm that players must navigate, discussing the game’s eerie music, non-linear progression, and disturbing lore.

Along the way, we discuss the Sony "timebomb" built into all PS3, PS4, and PS5 consoles, Xbox GamePass, and how this year’s E3 will be different.
