One Life Left is a radio show about videogames, only not really. We love games but we take them precisely as seriously as they deserve. 99% nonsense and 1% heart-stopping brilliance, they are all supposed to be fun and so are we. We have news, reviews and special guests, sure, but we also play game-related music and we have stupid game-related features like inappropriately dark-hearted poetry, gambling tips and chart news from a market stall. We're on the wonderful Resonance 104.4FM at 7PM every Monday and on the internet all the time, ever, right here.

#528 - Collect Them All!
Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! In this episode Ste confuses a Royal Mail employee LIVE ON AIR, Simon has a new laptop that doesn't seem as bad as strangers on the internet make it out to be, Ubisoft assassinates Assassin's Creed pop-up ads, Gamemaker goes free (for some), Fortnite to have a Big Bang, Activision watch what you watch and we ponder past PR pop-ups.
Meanwhile, in a world where it seems to be getting more acceptable to put Xmas decorations up in November, we have the second of our features that absolutely nobody is calling Tales from Japan that sees our dynamic duo (plus Responsible Adult) visit an arcade. In Japan, obviously.
What happened, dear listeners? I thought we were friends?? How come you don't write to us anymore?!? Why don't you send us some "media recommendations" or tell us if you know what "the dogs are barking" means at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our friendly Discord server and drop a letter for us on there. Link below!
TTFN,

#527 - "Responsible" Adult
Welcome back, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week I, Phil the Undercaretaker, try not to get jealous as we hear Part I of (kind of new feature, I suppose) Tales from Japan! (I need to work on that title... it was a last minute decision...) Meanwhile we discover just who the heck Jonathan Smith is and why he's the Responsible Adult. There's also Simon in a plane toilet, Ste still being jetlagged, Charlesbot getting annoyed by Geoff Keighley, people exchange money, scalpers have love for the PS Portal, DLC thoughts and a 25 year old game gets an update! Woo!
Do you play inappropriate video games in public? What is Simon paralyzed by?? Will we find out next week?!? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or jump into a jet plane and fly across to our Discord to chat and leave a letter on there. Link below!
TTFN,

#526 - Pants +1
This week we might mention that we're going to Japan. Did we mention that we're going to Japan? Well, we're going to Japan. In fact, by the time you read this we'll be up in the air or there already! Excitement!!! Anyway, besides all that, in this episode we have Simon's squeaky chair, Ste's dislike of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, an accidental bank account shutdown, a game is too hot for Microsoft and Nintendo, lots of people play Fortnite again, Lords of the Fallen gets harder and Modern Warfare gets forced on people. Kind of.
How many pairs of pants do you take on holiday? How many bank accounts have you opened this week?? What are the account details and your Mum's maiden name?? Send your answers to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Regular correspondence, questions and ponderings are also welcomed. Or join our Discord and hurl love/abuse at us there. Link below!

We suffered some technical issues not of our making yet again this week, folks, so apologies in advance for any drop in quality you may experience. You'll be hearing a few apologies during the show, too, though I (Phil the Undercaretaker) will hold my hand up and say that I don't think it's all that bad. It certainly could've been worse... and, admittedly, if I'd edited out much more then all the apologies and some of the in-show comments wouldn't have made much sense so... there we go.
Despite all that, we still have a bumper show for you! This week we hear about Ste's Challenging Weekend(TM), we get a cheese explosion update and Simon speculates on a Switch 2 launch date (he was right about F-Zero so get to the bookies!) We also have a big week in GTA history, Ste's cat behaves weirdly, Blizzard are out for blood, we learn how to smell like Shadow Moses Island and Simon gets so cross about Dreamlight Valley that he breaks the internet!
Have you ever been sailed down the Thames as part of a PR stunt? If so then write to us at team@onelifeleft.com and tell us all about it. Regular correspondence is also welcomed. You can also join our Discord server and post a letter for us there. Link below!

#524 - Cheese Explosion
Is Simon wearing trousers? Is he a firestarter, a twisted firestarter?! Is any of this real any more? Maybe I'm AI and haven't even realised. Maybe we're all programmed by Ste! I think this has been considered before... I must need a defrag. Welcome, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week we find out whose logo is biggest, Skull Island: Rise of Kong battles is up for worst game of the year but it's what's inside that counts and Netflix consider swooping for GTA. There's also another dose of ClickMate and the team ponder adventures in Japan. The excitement is building!
Have you been waiting for our intrepid duo in Regent's Park? Do you want to make a claim for travel expenses due to them not showing up?? If so then write to us at team@onelifeleft.com and we'll look into your case. Or join our Discord! There you can leave a letter, expenses claim and join in the general banter. Link below!

#523 - Data-Biscuits
Welcome once again to another episode of the One Life Left podcast! This week we have games making Ste poorly, Simon goes to EGX, hackers do hacking, kittens cause minor distraction, Joe Cornish's tv/radio hosting advice, Chris Conroy hangs around in Regent's Park, Molyneux uh oh and All The Mechanics! Plus the MS/Activision 100 Year Saga IS FINALLY OVER!!!! Possibly. Until something else happens. It's a bumper show! There's also more of that new feature from Simon that doesn't officially have a name yet (ClickMate?) so I'll continue to unimaginatively call it Simon Swipes Right. We've got more of that.
We asked and you delivered but we need more letters, please. MORE!! We crave your interaction via the medium of the written word!!! Deliver them lovingly to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord! You can leave us a letter there as well. Link below!

What’s happened to Ann?
Love the show and I’m not a gamer but what’s happened to Ann?
Loosen up.
This isn’t quite the quality of pickaxe collection. Loosen up and have a little preshow shake up. I have a lot of hope because the content and discussion is spot on. Echos too sound is a little off at time.
