Here’s links to my reviews of Ring Fit Adventure and Urban Reign if anybody wants to watch them.
I’ve marked segments with various clown sound effects from video games. Guess all the clowns and win a Spoint!
It sounds as though our next book-club game will likely be Disco Elysium and we’ll probably put together a feature length episode discussing it.
Next episode will be recorded live from the city of a thousand tears (that’s eye tears and not claw tears).

I apologise to that one listener who doesn’t like Pokémon because we talk about Sword and Shield at length in this podcast. We also play Specs’ revamped quiz, discuss Shenmue 3 and Half Life: Alyx and strangely enough, we don’t talk about Fallout 76. I hope you all like the new intro theme.
People who talked in this episode: Specs, Shinymissingno, Woolyshambler, RSN_Bran and Mooglepies.

Catsman wasn’t here so we didn’t talk about Socks the Cat. That means it’s still our book-club game. Watch our playthrough here. We also didn’t talk comments but we’ll do that again at some point.
No Spoints for guessing the segment marker sounds this time.
I don’t think that we’ll be recording in December so the next podcast is likely to be a live recording from Catsman’s house. I might put some nonsense out as a non-denominational holiday gift though.

Watch the video review on Youtube
Hello everyone! I’ve put a lot of effort into making a review of the recently released Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch. Rather than just dump it into the void, I felt that I wanted to advertise it a bit and therefore I post it here as well as youtube in the hopes that someone still reads this blog and might give me a pity view.
What follows is really just a transcript of the above video but after the bulk of the text, I’ll also be writing some up to date impressions since I’ve played a little more since the video review was finalised.
Just a disclaimer: I bought this game myself (it wasn’t a review copy) and I have no affiliation with Nintendo or their partners; neither am I affiliated with any news media corporations. All footage in the video was either captured by me or taken from Nintendo’s pre-release footage of the game. Images in this article which are not of my own creation have source references where I believe them to be necessary.
I completed the entire game in an any% manner and at the time of publishing this review, I had finished about 4 of the New Game + worlds that unlock after the main adventure is completed. I haven’t read any reviews from professional games journalists, but given how much exercise is necessary to complete this game, I doubt any of them experienced as much of it as fully as I did.

We have a real treat for you with this one: Not only did I decide to do a multitrack recording, leading to improved audio quality, but we also managed to get the voice of Mario from the popular video game series Super Mario Bros to do the intro for us!
People who talked in this episode: Specs, Catsman, Shinymissingno, Woolyshambler and Mooglepies.

I think this is the shortest podcast but it’s packed with content. I think it’s a really good one.
I’ve chopped up the segments with voice samples from a popular video game character. If you can tell me who it is then you will win the coveted prize of 1 Spoint.
Our next book club game for discussion will be Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill. We’ve already played it and it’s watchable here
We’ve been playing a lot of multiplayer stuff on Sundays recently so if you want to join us then please feel free.

This episode was edited by Specs. Remember last time I did this that I said I wouldn’t multitrack record and edit again? What was I thinking‽
Please tell us which version of Sonic CD’s music you think is better.
This game has recently come to our attention and we feel that it should be played as a book club game. You can find it at archive.org.
This was developed for the SNES and Megadrive but wasn’t released until recently when a prototype was found and made available. Many political figures are caricatured throughout as Socks the Cat tries to warn the Clintons about a nuclear threat.
Click here to watch the recording of the stream I made of me playing the game.
We’ve just recorded podcast episode 74 and I plan to have it released within the week.
