Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City

After having seen the new Resident Evil movie, Jay took some time to reflect on it and wanted to share some of his thoughts. Was the reaction of a vocal minority of fans of the game series right to pick the movie apart?

We Need to Talk About Video Game Movies

After having watched the latest Resident Evil movie, and with the Halo TV show on the horizon, Jay wanted to take a moment and reflect on how we react to movies made from our favourite video game properties

The Games we Love with Lord Nerdy Cephalopod

Laughter, nonsense, and absurdity abounds in episode 130 of the podcast. We were joined by Lord Nerdy Cephalopod (aka Brian) to talk about the games we’ve been playing, what he would take with him to the Thunder Plains, and the game series that we love to come back to.

Borderlands With CJ

Y’aar. We be joined by CJ, the host of the Casually Meta podcast. We hoisted the main sail, scrubbed the poop-deck, and avoided walking the plank in this episode. Actually, we did none of that; but we did talk about what we’ve been playing recently. And Borderlands; lots and lots of Borderlands.

Locked On with Jason Maddison

Jason Maddison (Technical Director at Lost in Cult) joined us to talk about the [lock-on] journal, his piece for volume 001 (titled I Have Lived) and how it rang true to our childhoods, and about how the technobabble used in discussing video games and consoles is utter nonsense. All this with a lot of pro-wrestling terms thrown in for good measure

Outbreak: Endless Nightmares with Evan Wolbach

Evan Wolbach stopped by Waffling Taylors HQ to discuss his Outbreak series. This series of survival horror games take inspiration from the greats of the genre, but also look to rogue-likes for some inspiration, too.

Getting to Know MazGamingUK

MazGamingUK (aka Maz from the DreamCast Junkyard Podcast, and of YouTube and Twitch fame) stopped by the virtual Waffling Taylors HQ to chat about his YouTube channel, what he’s been playing recently, what he’d take with him to the Thunder Plains, drops a horror story (followed by Jay doing the same), and we talk about controller designs.

Resident Evil Apocalypse With Andrew Dickinson - Shakey Fist Logic (Part Two)

We’re back with AndrewD and "Resident Evil: Apocalypse.". Will we run out of things to say about this film by the end of part two? Who can say. And what do we think of the film? You’ll have to listen in to find out.

Lock on Volume 1 a Discussion on Passion

We interrupt your regularly scheduled episode programming to bring you a bonus interview with the folks behind lock-on Volume 1: Jon Doyle and Jason Maddison. They are putting together a series of journals on gaming, starting with the Sony Playstation. We caught up with them to discuss what lead to the decision to create the journal, some of the contributors, and how you can help with their Kickstarter.

Resident Evil Apocalypse With Andrew Dickinson - Shakey Fist Logic (Part One)

AndrewD couldn’t stay away. This time he came back to talk about the second live-action Resident Evil film: "Resident Evil: Apocalypse.". We had so much to say about this film that we’ve split this episode into two halves. This is part one, with part two coming out next week.

Resident Evil and the Paper Kimono

Zombies, the Red Queen, Alice (who?), lazy storytelling, lazy production values, and dogs that aren’t necessarily zombie-fied. That’s right, we decided to talk about the 2002 "classic" Resident Evil - or what we called Alice in Wonderland with Zombies

Dreamcast Year Two with Andrew Dickinson

The follow up to Andrew’s previous book "Dreamcast: Year One" is due to be released very soon - in fact, the Kickstarter is due to kick off (pardon the pun) a few days after this episode drops. So we wanted to catch up with Andrew about the new book, what he’s been playing, and which games he’d want in a Dreamcast Mini

Itchy, Tasty with Alex Aniel

We chatted with Alex Aniel (aka cvxfreak) about his upcoming book: "Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil", the Resident Evil series as a whole, our favourites, some top tips for learning foreign languages, and that dooty doot song from the Dual Shock Director’s Cut

Dreamcast Year One with Andrew Dickinson

In this episode, we sat down with Andrew Dickinson to talk about his new book Dreamcast: Year One. We also talk with Andrew about the essential Dreamcast games that he would recommend to anyone who is new to the Dreamcast, and we even drop Andrew off in the Thunder Plains

Top Survival Horror Games - Part One

We decide to tackle the topic of survival horror games. Which means that we each bring our top 3 games of the genre and discuss them. We also mention Pac-Man and Alien: Isolation in extreme proximity to each other. Why? You’ll have to listen in order to find out.

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.

The Greatest Thing Since Books

Chief returns for our first episode in 2020. We talk about the 2037 problem; how Squidge isn’t going to play Cyberpunk 2077 but also is going to play it; how I absolutely love ‘Til Death To Us Blart; and I drop some financial advice on how to buy video games

Favourite Games Flawed? Surely Not

Squidge talks us through some of his favourite, if flawed, games. And why, even though they are flawed, he loves them

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.

Wombat Knives for Days

We decided to to an audio-only Let’s Play of the Resident Evil 2 (2019) DLCs No Time To Mourn and Runaway.

Hot Open, Cold Close

Our first episode back since our break (and my recent vacation to Japan). It marks the start of season 2, we talk about what we’ve been playing, and I drop some Japan knowledge.

The Fall of Mr X

Having completed the B scenarios in the Resident Evil 2 (2019), Squidgey sat down to tell us what he thought of it. All this and more, in ‘The Fall of Mr. X’ by The Waffling Taylors.

Januwhat

A video game podcast which spends almost an entire episode talking about Black Mirror? The Devil, you say.

Grenade to the FACE!

Squidgey had tweeted that he had completed 25% of the Resident Evil 2 (2019), so we decided to quickly catch up with him and see what that meant.

Finally Dropping the Bomb – With JZ

Part two of a three part special episode where we talk to long time fan of the show, friend of GaProgMan, and all round nice guy: Unaffiliated JZ.
This time we start out with some major league silliness, talk about JZ’s favourite controller, and he stumps us with Video Game knowledge. Then Squidgy finally drops a bomb that he’s been teasing for a whole year.

Double Barrel Australian Death

Two lost episodes, a sweary shotgun, Sony toasters, and questions to the community. All of this, and more in episode 23 of the Waffling Taylors podcast

GPD XD I Have the Power

I promised it during a podcast episode, and now I’m delivering it: my thoughts on the GPD XD

Interview This

The first podcast episode of 2018 is out, and it includes an exclusive interview with Stephen Smith of Retro Events. We talked about all aspects of retro gaming and what it’s like to run the events he puts on.
