A Plague Tale: Requiem Review Chat | Bayonetta 3 Boycott | Sony Scared of ACTI Aquisition?
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and the returning Josh talk all the weeks biggest news and get a bit excited about the weeks releases. Taylor Swift has an album coming out this week you know, we may have mentioned it a few times. We may spend the entire pod trying to get into the presale for tickets. Maybe. Definitely.In other news we talk the fallout of the reveal that Bayonetta voice actress Hellena Taylor was only offered $4,000 to reprise her iconic role in Bayonetta 3, sending ripples across the industry on fair wages for voice actors. Platinum Games didn't take it all that well, and there's seemingly far more to come from this story. We chat about what's fair and how we're going to, regretfully, skip the game because of this.Elsewhere we're still talking about the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard with new information coming to light regarding Sony's part in all of this. Sony have kicked off saying they're worried Xbox will monopolise Call of Duty and secure exclusives for their players, meaning players will leave PlayStation to access them. Now, where have we heard that before? It's a very strange story that's going on and on and on, and well there's very little else to add apart from we're kinda hoping it's going to be over and done with soon.A huge release this week sees A Plague Tale Requiem finally come to consoles and PC and our own Toby was lucky enough to review the game. Rossko chats with him to discuss (as spoiler-free as possible) the game and his thoughts on it, and whether it not it lives up to the superb original (Find it at 01:25:00)To celebrate Kat has devised a quiz all about A Plague Tale and we all get a bit giddy and hype about its release (which is right now, it's available now. GO!).We also talk The Entropy Centre, The Last Hero of Nostal Gaia, Unusual Findings, Session, Kit Kat Chunky Biscoff Edition, Better Call Saul and Disney+ series The Bear. This episode is a lot.ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Josh - @jshuathompson / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

Video Games and Mental Health | Mario Movie Trailer Impressions | Crash Returns!
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's our 175th episode! To celebrate this major milestone we, er, well there's only three of us but what a trio! Rossko, Kat and Miles get together to talk the weeks news and where better place to start than with the clues pointing to a brand new Crash Bandicoot game being revealed at The Game Awards this year? Rumours are rife with speculation that we may see Crash's long awaited game Wumpa League at Geoff Keighley's annual game trailer expose, so be on the look out for that. Is Kat hyped? Well, you're gonna have to listen to find out..Elsewhere the biggest news of the week without a doubt was the reveal of the first footage from The Super Mario Bros. Movie from Nintendo and Minion's creators Illumination. The discord around this game has been rather insane so we try to collate it all and share our own opinions on what the trailer showcases and if we're excited to see the rest of the film. Oh, and if Chris Pratt is the right voice for Mario. Will this continue long into the wee hours? You better believe it, Rossko might bitch about this until the sun scorches the entire planet so buckle up. Ahead of a possible full podcast on the subject we also get into the affects of gaming on our mental health, as each member of the team share their experiences with games and how they've helped them get through some hard times and some of the stigma that still surrounds gaming as a whole. 'Never feel stupid for finding comfort in a video game'. Our Game of the Week segment returns with Miles talking Undetected, Kat shares her slice of Lemon Cake and Rossko goes all basic bitch and talks his time with FIFA 23.Enjoy the ep!If you're looking for someone to talk to please call the following numbers (UK);The Samaritans: 116 123Mind: 0300 123 3393 or http://www.mind.org.ukALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Josh - @jshuathompson / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

RIP Google Stadia | Trouble at Disco Elysium | Horizon Zero Dawn Remake Incoming?
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat, Miles and Sean get together to talk the weeks big news and basically there's only one place to start and that's the inevitable death of Google Stadia. After the announcement this week that Google will be pulling the online-only service in January of next year, we talk what went wrong, what Google didn't do well (and also what they did), what they could have done to save the service and, most crucially, how the developers had no idea this was happening until Google announced it. It's an entire cluster of bad times all round, and we break it down for you as best we can. Elsewhere we talk the fallout of leadership heads at Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM which lead to them 'involuntarily' leaving the company, leaving the sequel without its original creators. Where does this leave the new game? Are fans going to be as excited without their voices attached? As we were recording there was also some breaking news regarding a remake of Horizon Zero Dawn, which may be arriving on PS5 in the near future. There's nothing confirmed yet, but it looks like this rumour is building up steam amongst the press who have corroborated the information. We shall see what happens. Also, the Horizon board game is apparently really difficult. Finally we each discuss what we're looking forward to playing before the years end, there's still plenty of gaming to be had even if Miles is still refusing to play Gotham Knights. You know he will. We all know he will.

EGX 2022 Reviewed | Hands-On With Sonic Frontiers and Street Fighter 6! | The Best of the Indies
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's a proper OG cast as Rossko, Sean, Greg and Toby get together to talk all about EGX 2022. Granted, only Sean and Greg went this year but they have a whale of time talking to Rossko and Toby about their time at the event, what they played, who they shmoozed and what they thought of the event overall, whilst namechecking some indie highlights such as Robobeat, How To Say Goodbye, To Hell With That Guy, Trinity Fusion and Soulbound. Rossko of course asks about Sonic Frontiers and gets perhaps the shock of his life when Sean and Greg both agree that there may just be something there that's worth getting excited about this time...maybe. Greg and Sean also sing the praises of Street Fighter 6 after having several bouts on the upcoming fighter. Elsewhere we quickly get into the weeks biggest news with Cyberpunk suddenly doing massive numbers, Splinter Cell's remake getting 'modernised', a big update on the Rockstar Games hack and our thoughts on the first full trailer for HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us. It's divided the camp, that's for sure. We of course also have our game recommendations, Game of the Week includes No Place for Bravery, Diofield Chronicle, Family Man on Switch and QUBE's 10th anniversary and everything notable that's due for release this week. It's a big one.Enjoy the ep!ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Josh - @jshuathompson / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

Grand Theft Auto 6 Leaked... | PSVR 2 Won't Play PSVR Games | An External PS5 Disc Drive Incoming?
This week on a packed Finger Guns Podcast Rossko sits himself back in the hosting seat with Sean, Greg, Kat, Miles and Josh to talk about the weeks news and what on earth could we talk about. Well, there was a certain thing about Grand Theft Auto 6 that happened.Yes, GTA 6 leaked across the internet this week and we have some thoughts. A lot of them not good. We try to dissect the timeline of this madness and work out where Rockstar Games go from here in dealing with this. It may not have huge implications after all, but it's not all that great, eh? We talk it out and see if the hype remains (spoiler; it does).We also get into the PSVR 2 news and after a week of previews and reveals, the news that the new headset will be incompatible with PSVR 1 games. We're all a bit gutted about it and we discuss whether or not this impacts our excitement for the headset. Also, are Sony planning an external disc drive for future PS5 models? The smallest of rumours have landed and we talk the possibilities and how it would actually be a good thing. Maybe? We'll see.In Game of the Week Rossko (and Kat, still blowing Rossko's mind to this day) talk the brand new Chromey season of Fortnite, Miles talks Sunday Gold, Kat finally gets to share her thoughts on Little Orpheus, Greg jumps back into Cyberpunk 2077, Josh has played a whole lot of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Sean finally gets his hands on his hugely anticipated Return to Monkey Island.

September 2022 Nintendo Direct / PlayStation State of Play Reaction Special
bonusIt's another Reaction Special and my word, we've only got two showcases to cover in one! First up we talk our highlights of the *very long* Nintendo Direct and what we're looking forward to getting our hands on, we talk the aftermath of the GoldenEye announcement and how it doesn't sound quite as exciting as first appeared along with whether or not there were enough JRPG farming sims coming to the Switch. We then do a swift deep dive into the PlayStation State of Play where we found something for everyone, including a Tekken 8 announcement and that rather glorious trailer for Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin. Oh and that God of War Ragnarok game that people seem to be excited for? Yeah, we talk about that too. We said it would be a short one, it wasn't. It never is. Ah well.

Ubisoft Forward Recap (Assassin's Creeeeeed!!) | Disney / Marvel Recap (Monkey Island!!) | Tomb Raider returns to Eidos
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Kat, Miles, Sean and Josh get into the weeks news, which is basically just jumping into the primary showcases that hit the last few days. First up we get into the first ever Disney / Marvel games showcase as part of the D23 Expo, and each pod host shares what they're excited for from the show, which is certainly a mixed bag. Sean loved it though, naturally. Talking of Sean loving games we then get into the Ubisoft Forward and talk everything you need to know about the future of Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft are going all out with the franchise and it's super exciting to see what's to come. Sean deep dives into why with a few theories and some hype for the future of the franchise. We also talk about the rest of Ubisoft Forward but let's be honest, it was all building towards Assassin's Creed and everything else was...well.Anyway! Elsewhere Kat is very excited about Tomb Raider going home to Eidos and Crystal Dynamics and all is well. And in Game of the Week Josh spent the week on the basketball court with NBA 2K23, Sean is back on his FMV trip in the wild and wonderful The Gallery, Miles has been working his way through Steelrising and Kat has been spying on the general populous in City Eye.Enjoy the ep!ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Josh - @jshuathompson / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

This week on the 170th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Kat takes the reigns with Miles, Sean, Tom and Josh joining your host to talk through the games news including these rather suspiciously exciting Silent Hill 2 image leaks. The team are split on whether or not they're real but we're rather looking forward to see where this goes as Konami has begun to get a little bit louder about what's to come from them.We also get into The Last of Us Part 1 with some players receiving their fairly expensive Firefly Edition in poor conditions, with Sony not going to refund the damaged goods. Tsk. We also get into our thoughts on the remake. Also, the team gets into this weeks Cyberpunk 2077 announcement that a new showcase is incoming to show off the next batch of patches(!) and possibly some new DLC footage.

Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 Reaction Special
bonusIn a very special episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Sean, Tom, Toby and Josh get together to talk everything (literally, everything) announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022. What did we like? What did we love? What are we never going to play? What did we think was a huge waste money to spend a bunch on a pointless trailer just to get it in the show only to be completely forgotten in a week when we're still talking about all of the cool trailers that made a whole lot more sense?<br><br>All of these enormous questions are answered and much, much more including our thoughts on the overall show, why we have no real use for a Pokemon car along with a brief(ish) chat about the Destiny 2 Showcase that preceded the Showcase (Ghosts in Fortnite! Yay!)Sit back, relax. This is a long one but it's very much worth your time. In-depth and us laughing at Toby for his high brow words.

Starfield Modders Prep for Launch | Toys For Bob are Back?! | Uncomfortable Gaming Moments
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and Tom get together to talk Toys for Bob, Dead Island 2 leaks and the preparation Bethesda fanboys are taking to ensure Starfield has a smooth launch by literally making mods to fix the game upon release. Yes, that is a real thing that's happening. We also talk Kat's first few hours with Cult of the Lamb, the under-the-radar greatness of Fashion Police Squad and Tom and Rossko sing the praises of Rollerdrome. There's also a Harry Potter quiz, in which we realise Kat very much took us all very seriously last week when we said we wanted to do a Harry Potter quiz. Lols. Oh, and we talk The Sandman and The Guilty on Netflix and we put our lighters in the air as Miles and Kat talk heading to Wembley to see Coldplay.We're nothing if not diverse on The Finger Guns Podcast.Enjoy the ep!ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

THQ's Bright Future | Sony Blocking Games to Game Pass? | Vikings on Trampolines!
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko returns along with the also returning Kat to talk all the weeks gaming news with Miles, Tom and Josh. What gaming news? Well, there isn't a huge amount of 'news' per se but there are a few interesting tidbits that we wanted to get into including Microsoft accusing Sony of 'blocking' games from launching on Xbox Game Pass due to some under the table dealings. Well, it's probably not that excessing but we break down what this headline really means and what it could actually be referring to in the greater gaming landscape. Should we know this is happening? Probably not, are we gonna talk the hell out of it anyway? We sure are. That's what we're here for.Elsewhere after Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel's Midnight Suns both got hefty delays this week we ask if delays really matter anymore if they're just a ploy to keep the hype train moving along or genuine ways to ensure developers don't get overworked in the lead up to release. Is a rushed game always bad? Yes it is, and we try to focus on the positives as we see two more games slip into next year. Don't worry, we find plenty. Kinda. Game of the Week showcases the likes of Two Point Campus, Devolver's latest indie darling Cult of the Lamb, spooky rogue-lite Saturnalia, the glorious Voyage and the fantastic laundy/arcade management sim Arcade Paradise.THQ's rather good Showcase is also examined as we choose our favourite game reveals from the event and what we could get excited about seeing at the newly announced 'Disney / Marvel Games Showcase' this September.The quiz also makes its triumphant return, Kat says fancy words like 'block' and Tom's life is changed forever when he discovered the existence of Squirrel With A Gun.

The PSN Store is Joke | Game Pass Family Plan incoming? | EA double down on their backtracking
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Miles takes the reigns as he entertains Tom, Josh and the returning Sean damn Davies to talk the weeks gaming news.First up the gang expand on Sean's recent article about the state of the PSN store. We open up the store to a bunch of shovelware and asset flip Trophy grabs, whilst full games are getting buried under these worthless experiences. Should Sony be doing more to get these games off PSN? Or are they proving successful enough to warrant their place?Elsewhere, we discuss the benefits of the new Xbox Game Pass Family Plan, currently in beta in a small number of countries but may be available in more countries soon. We're excited to share Game Pass with others but do we get where Xbox can make money from this and do they even need to? Elsewhere Miles talks about the upcoming DLC for Back 4 Blood and how he's ever-so slightly optimistic about it and of course we have talk about whatever the hell EA are doing now to double down on their 'single players are good actually' backtracking...Enjoy the ep!ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

bonusIn this very special episode of The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat and brand new official FInger Gunner Josh Thompson get together to talk everything Stray, Annapurna Interactive and Blue Twelve Studio's rather lovely adventure cat game STRAY.

Stadia is Coming To An End....Maybe | Lara and the Tomb Raider(s)? | Some Big GTA 6 Details!
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko and Miles get together to talk the weeks news and whole heap of Lady GaGa, you'll just have to listen to find out if this is a Lady GaGa spoiler special or not....(spoiler: It nearly is...)Still! We do remember that the podcast is about games so we talk whether or not we're seeing the endgame of Google Stadia and where Google went wrong along the way, even though they had the damn goods to deliver. Elsewhere there are some interesting tidbits floating around about the brand new Tomb Raider game, with Miles and Rossko both in agreement it all sounds pretty interesting following the cracking reboot trilogy. We also get into the fresh details of GTA 6 and Rockstar's much improved working conditions.There's plenty to get excited about here, along with a longer-that-it-should-be discussion about Linkin Park which, as tangents so often do with us, may lead into a brand new podcast.

Stray Review(s) | Why Are We Paying £70 For The Last of Us? | Ubisoft's Ship is Sinking.....
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko returns to the hosting chair alongside Kat and Miles to get deep into the weeks news and share their thoughts on this weeks games..so, um, same as ever really. This week we talk Ubisoft's rather terrible no good very bad year continues to be an absolute shit-show with a bunch of delays and cancellations leaving their release slate fairly barren for the upcoming release windows, whether or not we're ok with the full roster of MultiVersus characters costing £200 at launch(!), Naughty Dog jumping through their own hoops to release a 10-minute gameplay video for The Last of Us Part I to get a hold of the leaks that have got out there and whether or not we're still debating whether or not £70 is a justifiable price point for a near ten year old game re-release and of course with Aloy's motion capture artists returning to the studios is their Horizon Forbidden West DLC on the way? We discuss. Elsewhere we talk the games we've been playing (alongside Stray - which gets its own section and you may be surprised to hear what we actually think of it) such as Miles's time with Toy Soldiers HD and Rossko getting back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons and having an absolute blast with Hypercharge Unboxed (which he calls Hypercharge Unlocked on the podcast because he's an idiot). There's also some major recommendations and Kat returns with a 'siblings in games' quiz which will test your metal. Maybe.

Finger Guns Celebrates DYNASTY WARRIORS with Ethan Lawrence
bonusThey said it couldn't be done. We thought it would never happen. Hell, we thought they were kidding. No, we really did. But here we are. Our own Miles Thompson and his literal celebrity co-host Ethan Lawrence have actually found time in their very busy schedules to talk for nearly two and a half hours all about Koei Tecmo's gloriously over-the-top hack and slash series Dynasty Warriors.Essentially, everything you need to know about the series is included here, along with a whole lot of discussion about things that aren't all related to the series but is kept into the final cut because well, why not, something had to pad this one out.For the hardcore, Miles and Ethan get into extreme detail about the game, the novels, their legacy and their importance to gaming as a whole. Also, Ethan is topless the entire time. Of course, this is an audio medium so you won't see such things, but you're made aware fairly on. Keep that in mind as you listen, it makes it all far more sexy. Sexier than you could ever imagine two guys talk about Dynasty Warriors for nearly 150 minutes. It's quite something.You're gonna love this, don't miss it.Enjoy the ep!ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

That's in America! - to talk absolutely everything Stranger Things 4. In this very heavy spoiler special (seriously, don't listen until you've watched it), the team get into their favourite moments, the niggles that made it slightly less than absolute perfection, what the ending could possibly mean for the very unfortunate town of Hawkins Indiana and what could possibly be coming for the shows final season in 2024.

Nacon Connect Highlights | To The Depths With Skull and Bones? | Rockstar Focusing Fully on GTA 6
This week on the pod Rossko, Kat, Miles, Tom and Greg get together to talk what's available in a fairly barren week of news. First up we discuss the re-reveal of Skull and Bones and its bonkers release date (the day before Ragnarok?!), if we have any level of hype for the game and what we're looking forward to, if anything, from Ubisoft's long-gestating pirate adventure. We also talk our highlights from the Nacon Connect show, with a fair few games looking pretty damn exciting from one of the more prominent AA studios around at the moment. There's a lot to look forward to. Elsewhere Rockstar have been sharing news that they're starting to ramp up production on GTA 6 with the news that Red Dead Redemption and GTA IV remasters were planned before decided to be canned in order to focus on GTA 6. Would we have liked to have seen them see the light of day or has the Definitive Edition Trilogy put to bed any interest in shiny Rockstar remasters?In our Game of the Week Greg talks about jumping into Disco Elysium again, Tom has hit a bit of a gaming wall (happens to the best of us), Miles finally talks about his time with horror adventure MADISON, Kat finally experiences the wonderment of Tetris Effect and Rossko is exploring Hope County again in Far Cry 5 whilst jumping into the frenetic madness of Arcadegeddon. We've also got another game music quiz (this time remastered and professionally done and stuff), we briefly get into Kojima being mistaken for an actual assassin, Greg shares his festival fuelled weekend, Kat and Miles are getting ready for a graduation and Rossko, well, Rossko is editing podcasts and going to work. Such is life.

Ethan Lawrence Returns! | Let's Talk About Nintendo | Don't Send Your Dick To Game Devs
EThis week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Kat and Miles are joined once again by our very good friend Ethan Lawrence to discuss the weeks news, take on a brand new quiz and get particularly ranty about a company that rhymes with Bereckonic Darts...any guesses? We get into the absence of any concrete Nintendo news throughout the year, where they currently stand in the gaming space and if we're excited about their future output that we currently know about. There's a weird void hanging over Nintendo right now and we hope they can fill it with news for their fanbase soon enough. Elsewhere we remind the gaming populist not to send pictures of their dicks to female game developers just because they haven't got a release date yet for their little video game they're excited about, I mean for f*** sake guys. Also, Ethan gets his own segment going after EA for their horribly misjudged tweet this week and we take on Kat's brand new musical 'Heardle'-esque quiz with some truly brutal results for our host. Yes, you'll definitely do better than him this week.There's also a brand new segment called 'In Defense Of...' where we each have a minute to talk about a game that we think is hugely underrated and do our best to encourage each other to play it. This one definitely doesn't go off the rails at all. Nope. Not this one.We also talk hands-on with that glorious indie puzzler Hue, Miles gets into a bit more Spellforce, Ethan shares his love for a brand new Early Access title on Steam called Vampire Survivors and Rossko has all but given up on Demon's Souls after what could be argued as a 'valiant effort'. Maybe.Oh, and we call time on the podcast as a whole (not really) and birth a brand new one, but you'll have to listen to find out what we're up to next. Seriously, we could give you a million guesses and you'd never work it out..ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Acast.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx / Tom - @T_Woods93 | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

Just. Just don't. And our 'Podcast-In-A-Podcast' where we review Obi-Wan Kenobi returns and well, Rossko and Miles aren't happy..There's so many games to discuss, we should probably get into it.

In Game of The Week this week Rossko talks being away from his console and exploring more of the Apple Arcade, Miles talks jumping into exploding foxes in Samurai Riot, Kat discusses her quite shocking rage being created by the rather unique Super Perils of Baking and Toby talks his continuing adventures in Death Stranding.

Death Stranding 2 confirmed? | Classic PS Games Get Trophies | The Future of Silent Hill
We're back! After a week-long hiatus (because life very much got in the way) The Finger Guns Podcast triumphantly returns, with Rossko and Greg double-teaming this weeks news to attempt to try and make sense of it all. Fortunately for Greg, our news rundown was very much focused on his particular interests, with a Death Stranding sequel being seemingly spoiled by Norman Reedus himself and Kojima's reaction, Trophies confirmed to be coming to certain classic PS1 titles as part of PlayStation's brand new Plus tier service, The Witcher 3 getting its shiny next-gen upgrade seemingly this year and some possible Final Fantasy VII news arriving next month. He got himself a chance to actually talk without shrugging and saying 'no', which is a delight (nothing to do with the fact that he was the literal only person that could make it on this week). There's no quiz, but there's a fun recommendations section where we once again rip into Star Wars, because why the hell not, eh? There's nothing else to talk about at the moment.Enjoy the ep!| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Podbean.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

The LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga Special
Hello there! Join Rossko and Miles as they travel to a galaxy far, far away and discuss everything you need to know about LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. We've delved very deep into this game already and while there's still so much more to see, Rossko and Miles share everything they love (and everything they don't) about the game so far.

No, PS+ Wasn't 'Devastating' for Oddworld Soulstorm | Portal 3?! | What's Next for Hello Games?
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're back to business with Rossko, Kat and Miles talking through the weeks news including Lorne Lanning getting all pent up about the lack of sales for PlayStation Plus' Oddworld Soulstorm. He blames the subscription service for the lack of genuine sales for the game, but was it really going to hit those numbers without it? We discuss. We also chat CD Projekt Red and their latest misstep with once again delaying their Witcher 3 next-gen upgrade and blaming other developers for the delay. Are they ever going to regain their power over fans in the industry again? Also, there's rumours abound that Portal 3 may just be a thing someday and well, we gush about just how much we'd love that happen. And then there's Hello Games who have come out this week to say they're working on yet another 'impossibly ambitious' game to follow No Man's Sky. We absolutely believe them, but should they be raising hopes already? This one is years off, are we having another Sean Murray media hype storm incoming? Elsewhere Miles talks jumping back into Back4Blood to check out their new DLC, Kat talks chilling out in the wonderment of Lake on PS5 and Rossko has discovered Apple Arcade, his thoughts are a little worrying. He also gets into his time with the cracking old-school racer, Slipstream. Kat is also back one again with a quiz, we talk far too much about Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually and we actually recommend some video games.

Well, we've made it. On this landmark 150th episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Greg, Miles and Kat are joined by After Life and Bad Education star (also massive gamer) Ethan Lawrence and the almighty Chris Scullion, writer of the NES, SNES, Mega Drive and the upcoming N64 Encyclopedias, Official Nintendo Magazine legend and all round nice to celebrate this enormous milestone. On the pod we get into weeks news including the announcement of Kingdom Hearts IV, the Unreal Engine 5 Tomb Raider announcement, the return of Monkey Island in erm, The Return of Monkey Island and Xbox's Mentoring Programme, which sounds great until you actually dig a little deeper and then, well...We of course have our Game of the Week (where Chris shares some exciting tidbits about his time with Nintendo Switch Sports so far), a *very special* edition of Kat's Quiz and just have a general good time talking all about video games past and present whilst we quiz Chris on just how he puts together his insanely detailed console books. It's one hell of an episode, and if you've been along for the ride for every single episode or if you've just joined us recently, thank you so much for allowing us to reach this milestone.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Review | E3 Cancelled | Sony Hunting More Acquisitions?
This week on the Finger Guns Podcast, in a galaxy far, far away..Wait a minute no, ignore that. Hello! Welcome to episode 149 of The Finger Guns Podcast where Rossko, Kat and Miles get together to talk the weeks news, whilst primarily all being very excited for this weeks release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Rossko has been lucky enough to have been playing it all weekend so he shares his thoughts on the game - with a full review you can read on our website - along with Miles discussing his time with Weird West and Kat rolling the dice in Lost in Random. The guys also talk the full cancellation of E3, whether or not Sony will soon announce more acquisitions and if and when they've cracked PS3 emulation on PS5, are we ever going to see it? There's plenty of games we'd love to play again from that era, so time will tell on this one. Elsewhere there's a food-related games quiz (purely because Kat was hungry whilst making it), we talk about Star Wars far too much, Kat recommends a new fizzy drink after dismissing one last week, Miles has finally found Archer and sings its praises and Rossko gets all hype about his Sunday night seeing Sonic The Hedgehog 2. It's quite the love-in. | ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Podbean.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

DLC! PlayStation Plus 'Spartacus' Confirmed - Our Full Reaction
EIt's happened! Sony have finally, finally confirmed the existence of PlayStation Spartacus and have renamed it PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Premium. Each offering differing options, the brand new service lands in June and Rossko, Kat and Miles just had to get on the a pod to talk about it (and so we weren't a week late to the news, and stuff...y'kno). So join us as we get giddy at the possibilities of what could be added to this service from PlayStation's long, long history, and marvel at the very thought of Trophies being added to classic PlayStation games. Can Miles ever get a Platinum for Metal Gear Solid 1? Only time will tell. Get hype! Thanks for listening to this exclusive cut down episode. Normal service shall be resumed from next week.

OUTTAKE: How Hard Is It For Five People To Pick A Buzzer?
bonusNow then, we don't normally share our outtakes because well, they're outtakes for a reason, but this was a funny one. Whilst we were preparing for the quiz in this weeks (28/3) podcast, it took an abnormally long time to get everyone ready as we all forgot we needed a buzzer for the quiz. Bizarrely, the entire pod squad were together for the first time and none of us remembered that's how we do things. Well, Rossko cut it out of the edit because well why would you keep it in? It's just nonsense. But what it is, is funny nonsense so here, have a listen to six grown-ass human adults trying to find buzzers and the absolute carnage that ensued. Love ya work.

The Cost of Game Pass for Publishers | Why Aren’t We Excited for Suicide Squad? | Games and the Work/Life Balance
EThis week on The Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang is here! The full podcast line-up is together for the very first time this year as Greg, Toby and Sean reunite with Rossko, Miles and Kat to talk the weeks news, take on a dastardly Kat Quiz and share our Games of the Week including Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Stranger of Paradise (CHAOS!), The Ascent on PS5, Elden Ring, Jedi Fallen Order on PS5 and Lost Ark (along with a quick shoutout to House of the Dead Overkill?)In the news we talk the cost for publishers to put their games on Xbox Game Pass, if it’s really worth it for them to line themselves with the endless Microsoft money when the sales dry up a little, if publishers are really getting their moneys worth with what Microsoft offer them and if we could ever see Sony competing with the kind of money Microsoft splash around for games to be on the service. Do they even stand a chance? We discuss.Elsewhere we talk the delay of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to 2023 and how all but one of us aren’t really that bothered. Why aren’t we hyped about a new Rocksteady game in the Arkham universe? Something feels just a little off with it and we can’t quite put our finger on it. We also get rather hyped that this might just mean Hogwarts Legacy hits its planned 2022 release date. Maybe. Fingers crossed.Our main topic of the week is all about us, though. Sorry about that. We talk writing reviews, playing games we want to play versus the games we *have* to play, whether we can find that balance and not get ourselves burned out by even trying and where the balance leaves us even enjoying the games, even when they are ‘work’. It’s a deep discussion where we’re fairly frank with our answers and well worth a listen.See you on the other side.| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Podbean.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

Ep 180Is Gaming Stigma Still A Thing? | Ghostwire: Tokyo Impressions | Hogwarts Legacy State of Play Reactions
EThis week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Miles and the returning Kat discuss the weeks news, and primarily get very giddy about the first look at Hogwarts Legacy gameplay. Kat and Rossko are fairly big Potterheads, so yeah, they're a tad excited. Elsewhere, Miles spent the weekend reviewing a small game called Ghostwire: Tokyo and had an absolute blast, he shares his adventures with us during Game of the Week, along with Kat updating us on her Forbidden West journey and Rossko talks the Grand Theft Auto V 4K update. We also talk the rather upsetting news of hostile work conditions at Moon Studios, People Make Games and two more Annapurna studios. It continues to be unsurprising in the gaming industry, though we still have plenty to say about what's being shared. Our main topic of the week though focuses on gaming stigma, and if we're still a little hesitate to tell people we're still video game fans with certain people in our lives certain we should have grown out of it by now. As we continue to defend our favourite hobby, will there ever be a time where we won't need to? Enjoy the episode.

Ep 179State of Play Recap | Crystal Dynamics take control of Perfect Dark | Elden Ring is winning 2022
EThis week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko and Miles take on the weeks news in the years first double header, 'two guys just talking games' episode of the pod this year. We get into the PlayStation State of Play and discuss what we're very excited for (TMNT!) and what we could probably live without (Gigabash?) and get deep into what we're looking forward to seeing in this weeks Hogwarts Legacy State of Play presentation. We also talk the absolutely staggering success of Elden Ring and what it's done right to convince the world it's 'accessible, actually', even though it really, really isn't. Finally there is breaking news today with the news that Xbox developer team The Initiative are quickly falling the heck apart whilst in the middle of developing Perfect Dark. Have Crystal Dynamics fully taken over? With high profile exits in the new Xbox studio, we ask just what on earth is going on in Joanna Dark's world? It all sounds a bit dodgy. There's also our Games of the Week including Far: Changing Tides, Guardians of the Galaxy, Dying Light 2 and a few more just to pad out cus there's only two of us and well, we try and figure out how many Bruge jokes we can get in a single episode. We need more people next time...| ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Podbean.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

EOn this weeks Finger Guns Podcast the power trio of Rossko and the now Covid free Kat and Miles return to the pod booth to talk the weeks gaming news, primarily all about the BAFTA Game Award nominations and who we think will win every single category - also how the hell did It Takes Two get so many nominations? We discuss. Elsewhere we chat about the possibility of an upcoming PlayStation Showcase and what we'd like to see - shocking nobody Stray and God of War are mentioned - and if we think this will be the place Sony finally drop their upcoming Spartacus subscription service. We also talk a huge amount of game industry companies pulling their products from Russian shelves in the midst of the horrendous invasion of Ukraine. Are they targeting the right people? It's a difficult thread and we try to make it easier to digest. Finally, Miles talks the brilliant What Lies in the Multiverse and Kat finally gets her long overdue moment on the pod to gush all about Horizon Forbidden West. | ALL THE PLACES WE ARE: https://linktr.ee/fingergunsDonate to Sunflower of Peace to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine: http://www.sunflowerofpeace.comTheme Music – De Jongens Met de Zwarte Schoenen by RoccoW & xyce. | Edited and produced by Ross Keniston | Published by Podbean.Team: @FNGRGNS / Rossko – @RosskoKeniston / Paul – @ThePaulCollett / Greg – @GregatonBomb / Sean – @Omac_Brother / Toby – @toby_andersen / Andy – @PsychTyson / Kat – @RainbowDropx | Facebook: FingerGunsUK / Twitch: twitch.tv/fingergunsdotnet / The Official Finger Guns Discord Discord: Join here!

What would we like to see from the next Rockstar behemoth and can they reinvent the wheel once again? We discuss.
