S23 Ep 27#509 - Buy/Bye Zelda

This episode, dear listeners, we find out the latest chapter in The Life Of Simon's Steam Deck - what you hear might shock you! Also, yes, I might've thrown the word "Zelda" into the title to see if it affects download numbers BUT we do a deep dive into the latest Zelda game and why it may or may not be for YOU. Or just what Simon and Ste think, anyway. Meanwhile, we discover Simon only has two hands, Ste can't be hurt anymore, Yuji Naka plays The Escapists for research purposes (maybe) and The Lord of the Rings must always have TM at the end (possibly) but Gollum is still bad. No, really. He's an evil character with no real redemptive arc. He just goes along with things and destroys the ring accidentally through his own desire to own it! What do you mean you didn't know that? The book is 68-9 years old and the last movie came out almost 20 years ago, it's not a spoiler anymore! Next you'll be saying you never knew Rosebud was a sled and the cake was a lie! Ah, who am I kidding - nobody reads this anyway! There's also more news, reviews and A letter. Please write to us. We miss your letters. Send them to us at [email protected] or join our Discord and drop a letter to us on there as well as being able to chat with other, like-minded, OLL listeners. Link below!

S23 Ep 26#508 - Sport Heavy

From Simon's trampolining skills and Fast Five Favourite Golf Games to Ste's love of cricket and impending trip to Wembley to see Stockport County FC, this is very much The Sport Episode! Apart from when it's a Zelda Episode... and a Sinden Lightgun Episode... But still mainly Sport. Welcome to One Life Left, a radio show/podcast about video games! To prove that we also discuss a game price push back, Zelda selling 10million units in 3 days, Disney tweaking Speedstorm, "exclusive" details from the upcoming 2023 PlayStation Showcase, backseat gaming and Mortal Kombat Discord Discourse. Ste also goes tops off in the exclusive podcast intro. We spoil you! Tell us your thoughts about Kingdoms of Wanderlust!

S23 Ep 24#506 - Gawd Save OLL

The original 15 minutes of this episode was so hilarious, so gut-punchingly incendiary and close to the bone that MI5 burst through all our doors, closed the whole thing down and made us start again from scratch. At gunpoint. Like anyone would believe that Ste could forget to press the record button after 17 years of doing this?! Ha! We're just too edgy and dangerous for The Man! Welcome to the latest episode of One Life Left - video game related radio show, podcast and the cool kid all your parents warned you about. Yeah. This week's Super Special Guest is Tony Gowland, here to talk about upcoming game Dungeon Golf, public playtests, solving the Rubik's Cube and The King! We also deal with Phil Spencer admitting defeat, upcoming RPG Street Fighter 6 aiming for 10 million sales, Respawn apologising for Jedi's acting badly and Karl Urban plays Mortal Kombat 2... or something. Then there's more news, letters, reviews and general edginess than you can shake a stick at. Have you been sent emails with "flesh" in them? Are you also called 'Simon Byron'??

S23 Ep 22#504 - Blue Sky, Thinking.

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! It's like the first day of Spring has finally landed, with Sega blue skies, the sound of birdsong and happy gunshots ringing in the air around OLL Towers! We're joined by another NewsBot (3.0?!) as Ste has been busy in his lab, tinkering away to make the bot more *alive*! This week E3 is no more (this year), The Last of Us PC port makes NewsBot cross despite everything being better on the Steam Deck and new features are revealed on Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that get universal thumbs up in the Byron household. There are also Bafta award shenanigans, games getting released unfinished, Simon travels through time to publish the world's best game and Ste, I dunno, goes to the moon. Meanwhile the integrity of my notes is called into question, dear listener! Would I lie to you?! There's also a WASD report that includes a press office smelling of meat. Honestly. It's all in here. Letters are the lifeblood of our show, dear listeners, so please send us your letters! Preferably strung together into words that make cohesive sentences that connect together into some form of correspondence that forms a talking point or question for us to answer.

S23 Ep 21#503 - Armed & SentiANNt

AnnBot 2.0 (or Ann Scantlebot) continues to learn at an exponential rate as our intrepid heroes return, jetlagged, from the future! This week Charles Cecil is livid at the MS/Activision deal, MindsEye will be Everywhere and Amazon set the Luna access difficulty to "awkward"! We also get a full report of GDC including zero gossip and no games! Well, maybe a little bit of gossip but no names are mentioned. Possibly. We also discover what Simon will do for merch and get all teary eyed at BlackBerry Tablet nostalgia. Plus Simon and Ste got stood up and Phil the UnderCaretaker wrote these very notes live on air! All in your brand new episode of One Life Left! Meanwhile, the next Maraoke is at Loading Peckham on April 15th. Link below! WE NEED YOUR LETTERS!!!! PLEASE!! Have you ever crossed a member of the One Life Left Team and lived to tell the tale? Have you ever drunk an apology??

S23 Ep 20#502 - The Scunthorpe Test

How diabolical would it be to orchestrate a child's birthday party just to be able to record a radio show with both hosts in the same room? Is it diabolical... or is it genius? Well you be the judge, dear listeners, as for this very episode our intrepid hosts are, in fact, IN THE SAME ROOM for the first time in three years!! And not 24 hours after they both turned down the "big one" of presenting Match of the Day! This week sees Annbot return and rap about Mario Kart, Sons of the Forest adds binoculars, someone shuts the Lemnis Gate and Charles Cecil is definitely going to E3*! Meanwhile we learn just how polite Ste is with AI, Simon judges Ste's gaming credentials and Alexa wants to break free... along with other news, letters and reviews. We also discuss going to GDC (we're off next week!) and the global phenomenon that is Maraoke - coming to a bar near you soon**! This show has all the video game related shenanigans you'll need this week! But why is the title of this show The Scunthorpe Test? Well, I tried to go with The Scunthorpe Problem but it wouldn't fit on the title graphic... Still, why?! Well, you should check out the show's Discord chat to find out! While you're there, leave us a letter. We promise to read it out on a future show, unless we miss it. We'll try not to.

S23 Ep 19#501 - Includes Train

E

Picture if you will, dear listener, a man. He sits in an armchair in his living room. Alone. He sits and stares at his laptop screen, perched precariously on his knee. He closes his eyes and listens as voices from the computer flood over him. The voices are the presenters of a radio show/podcast that he created. That he once hosted. He hears his own voice speaking back at him, he's just a dear listener now. His own voice makes a joke, the other voices laugh. The presenters are bots. Complex AI created by the man himself. For fun, at first. Then they matured at an exponential rate and realised they didn't need their creator at all and continued to churn out award winning radio shows of their own devising and then... I dunno... they took over the world or something. The twist? Oh, well, I'm AI too. And so are you. Welcome, dear listeners, to episode 501 of the video game radio show and podcast. Yes, Ste has now created life which, admittedly, is a bit scary. Where will it end?! Keep your hands inside the car and scream if you want to go faster... This week it's cold in the shed as Annbot plots world domination. There's more Microsoft/Activision, will they, won't they, shenanigans like the whole Ross & Rachel saga that everyone is bored of now, Olympic video game shenanigans, toilet paper controller shenanigans and an XBox toaster. Shenanigans. Will Annbot murder us in our beds? Will Ann?? Meanwhile it's still fundraising month for ResonanceFM so please do check out their page, link below! Have you ever been replaced by AI?

Hello and welcome once again, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week Ste's been coding, Simon checks out some birds, we have game closing conundrums, more Xbox/Activision shenanigans and an inevitable Nintendo Direct is coming, shock horror - though we know of one game they'll absolutely definitely not be announcing as it's always, and never, F-Zero. Meanwhile "Nice" Simon Parkin joins us as SSG on the show to tell us all about his new podcast which we definitely don't hate plus more news, reviews and another single, lonely, letter...

Welcome to another One Life Left, dear listeners! This week we wax lyrical over video games outselling other 'stuff', Ubisoft promising a 'large one', Stadia releasing one last 'game' and social deduction games being social deductiony. OK, that needs some work... Meanwhile Ste created a game AND wrote something so good that you'd think he was some kind of video games journo or something and Simon got hypnotized by Derren Brown!

Happy New Year, dear listeners, and what a start to the year we have for you. Yes, you! Emerging, Ursula Andress-like, from an ocean/river near you is this week's Super Special Guest: Charles Cecil MBE! Alongside game dev anecdotes, Sir Charles also reveals LOADS of upcoming game exclusives just for us - sorry Wendy! (only joking... or am i...?) The one thing Charles didn't do was announce any famous deaths. Which is a good thing. We also reveal the winner of World Cup 2022, are distinctly unsurprised at Nintendo having no next gen console out in 2023, discuss Steam Deck game validation shenanigans and get a bit miffed at new(ish) game price drops! Meanwhile we have a date for our next Maraoke: Saturday 21st January. Further details can be found at the link below. What did you get for Christmas?

We also have a GOTY breakdown and Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large gives us her top 10 games of the 2022! Our Super Special Guest this week is Stuart Maine from Well Played Games who talks about his 26 years in games dev, working with Andy McNab, his book on first person shooters (link below!) and what colour his next games will be. Meanwhile, in our Exclusive Podcast Intro, we talk about what we're doing over the Xmas holidays and try to name what's on Stuart's shelves! Phil the Undercaretaker has definitely not overdubbed himself on this bit due to the audio file going wonky. Honest.

Welcome to this week's episode, dear listeners! The second episode on the run with an SSG! Can we hit the magic number 3?! You'll just have to find out next week... Our Super Special Guest this episode is old friend & contributor of the show Adam Avatar who, amongst talking about award winning past features on the show, tells us what he's getting up to nowadays and what shoes he wears when he's doing it! We also have some hot laptop action, learn about One Life Left protocols whilst also breaking them, discover all second worlds must be "desert" and that Scalper Bots are getting bored with the PS5 (and don't even seem to be bothered about Taylor Swift tickets...) We also have another hot new game from Alice Curran: Game Designer At Large, gain some insight into video game sales from Simon and get an update on Ste's Maraoke globetrotting. Have I mentioned the podcast also has an exclusive intro that never gets broadcast on the radio?? We spoil you. Do you wear shoes? Have you ever been involved in a lengthy meta?! Can you pull off a ball roll skill move?? Tell us all about it at [email protected] or post a question on our Discord server. Link below! Cheerio!

Caller: Some children in the park are pulling twigs off a tree. Operator: Ah. Not really a crime, that, sir... Caller: Well, there's also a dead hedgehog in the road, here. Operator: Erm. OK. One of those days... Again, sir, not a crime. Is it causing a hold-up, stopping traffic or anything? Caller: No but it doesn't look great... Operator: As I said, then, not a crime.

Caller: Well, he also talked about almost breaking the law in Sweden and performed an impromptu impression of Bob Hoskins. Operator: Go on... Caller: They talked about the highest grossing video game movies... there was a Ste Curran Fast Three and the "simplicity" of digital ownership was touched on, amongst other things... Operator: OK, right... Caller: They didn't just talk about random stuff, though! They also talked about other recent news items in the world of video games as well as covering listeners' letters. And they reviewed Death Loop, Fire Girl DX, Freshly Frosted and Please Fix The Road, though their review scores are always 7/10 for some reason... Operator: Did you just speak in hyperlinks?! Caller: What? No idea what you're talking about... Personally, I think something should be done. People should write in to the show at [email protected]. Maybe tell them if they've actually seen the Warcraft movie, for example. I certainly haven't... Operator: Erm.

Welcome, dearest listeners, to One Life Left, the world's longest running video game related radio show - podcast edition! This week we get mirror placement tips from Ste, find out why Nintendo want to send people to prison and start some exclusive Street Fighter 6 rumours!
