Powerwash Simulator: Chill Grime Busting, No Dilution - Part Two

Outrageous DLC ideas (including iconic character crossovers), discussing the thrill of repetitive tasks, and the ideal soundscapes for gaming. That can mean only one thing: we’re returning to Powerwash Simulator with Matt Bliss.

Resident Evil 2 Remake with Nomad - The Spirit Is Strong, But The Ammo Is Scarce

Can you believe that it’s been 5 years since the Resident Evil 2 Remake came out? Neither could we, so we brought Nomad back onto the show to discuss it with us. Remember the "we do it" t-shirts? Remember the months of speculation? Remember that first time you booted the game?

Sonic TuesMonth - Episode One, Part Two

The 30th anniversary of Sonic 2day - the worldwide release of Sonic 2 on the Genesis/Mega Drive - is upon us this month, and we asked G to the Next Level, Franny, Alyxa, MVG, and JonnyG to choose their favourite and least favourite Sonic 2 music, whether it was their first Sonic game, singed furry animals and how Sonic’s eco-warrior vibe was dropped, multiple endings, and PS3 era game design.

Couching the Capes with Anthony

This episode sees Anthony of the Capes on the Couch podcast join us. We talk about his show (which you should definitely listen to), ‘previously on’ mode, RPGs and forgetting what to do, the recent TMNT releases, reaching level 99 too soon, airborne controllers, and profanity generators.

2 Player Cupboard of Shame: Jay

Squidge invited Jay to make his first appearance on the Cupboard of Shame, and he brought along a white whale of sorts. What do Arnie, Sly Stallone, and trashy 80s cyberpunk movies have in common? And why is Jay recommending running, head first, into walls? This CoS will answer those questions and more.

2 Player Cupboard of Shame: JonnyG

In an episode which is not very family friendly at all, Squidge and JonnyG discuss a title which is really not meant for little ones and whether it should be cast into the Cupboard of Shame. They also discuss the mystery of Sylvester, Henry Cavil almost not being Superman, Twin Peaks, and accents in audio books.

2 Player Cupboard of Shame: Chief Problems

Squidge and Chief sit down to talk about some of the games that they both would like to store in The Cupboard of Shame, never to see the light of day again. They also discuss why they chose those games for hiding away. Chief also asks what’s with the obsession with the Legend of Zelda.

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.

Chief Problems Returns

Chief is back on the podcast. It’s been 62 episodes since he was last on, so we wanted to talk about what he’s been playing and finally yeet him into the Thunder Plains. Along the way we talk about whether reviewers can be objective and Jay explains ray tracing.

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.

RetroMania Wrestling Returns With Mike Hermann

Mike Hermann returns to talk about RetroMania Wrestling. We got the low down on what’s been happening since he was last on the show (April, 2020) who’s on the roster, paying tribute to the fans,and what to expect when the game drops a few weeks after the episode’s release.

2021, Huh. What Is It Good For? (Part Two)

We brought AndrewD and ZBoi into the (virtual for now) recording studio to talk about what we’re looking forward to in 2021. This is part two of the 6 host (?!) episode. We talk a huge amount about Resident Evil, Cyberpunk 2077 (and hour hopes that CDPR can pull a Hello Games), multicoloured hair (and whether Jay should dye his beard … or eyebrows?), working from home, and we play a game of "subtitle the Untitled Goose Game sequel"

We’re back with John Krikorian (of the Trek Profiles podcast) to talk EverQuest, and his journey back into the game after years of not having played it.

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

Final Fantasy VII Remake With Lulu - Part Two

Part two of our discussion with Lulu about the Final Fantasy VII Remake was all about that Moogle slide (yes it returns), relationships, expanded character backstories and interactions, and what we are hoping for the remaining parts in the series. Also, Jay still hasn’t played it

RetroMania Wrestling With Michael Hermann

We were incredibly fortunate to be able to sit down with Michael Hermann, owner of Retrosoft Studios and the man who is bringing RetroMania Wrestling to life. We talk about the game, the games which inspired it, some of Michael’s favourite wrestling games, and what you can expect from RetroMania Wrestling.

WaffleFest With The B - Part One

In part one of our WaffleFest special: we catch up with The B, discuss what we’ve all been playing recently, talk about the 5 big games of 2020 so far, and the idea of role-playing a specific goose in a specific game - neither of which are related to one another.

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?

Dubstep mode, gadgets in games, grappling hooks; and that’s just in the first few minutes. Also in this episode are top things from the previous decade, and console exclusives we’d like to see brought back from the dead

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.

Exploding Horses

Squidge introduces JZ into a brand new segment (one which needs a little improv.) with hilarious results, and I use it as an excuse to use an epic pun; and JZ introduces us to the idea of fried chicken subs, and we talk about the benefits of being a zombie.

A Film About an Egg

Chief is back. Back again. Yes he back. … RTS
Chief returns for the third part in his RTS episode, and we talk about DLC at the movies - which is something I hope never takes off.

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.

The Waffling Taylors and Unaffiliated JZ Podcast Party

Part one 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. We talk about all sorts of stuff, and Squidgy even threatens to drop a major spoiler on us. But does he? You’ll have to listen in order to find out.
