One Life Left Pickaxe

This week Simon briefly sounds like a robot (but it's not the mics fault, corporate overlords!) and Ste doesn't go to Buckingham Palace but, hold the front page, WE HAVE AN SSG!!! We're joined by Jupiter Hadley who tells us all about new indie game showcase Brilliant Indie Treasures which is aiming to take down Develop whilst also helping us to execute a bank heist. While those two things may fail, if they even get off the ground, Jupiter and team are definitely aiming to showcase over 50 playable, unreleased, indie games in a bank in Brighton so please do check them out. Jupiter also champions playing games for fun and not for punishment so that is certainly no bad thing!

There's also Phoebe Waller-Bridge raiding some tombs, WASD report, the UK Government don't care about killing games, Xbox shift more games to PS and Take-Two haven't closed any studios, honest.

Did you go to Buckingham Palace? Do you play games for "fun"?! Have you been closed by Take-Two?!? Tell us all about everything at team@onelifeleft.com and we're hoping for AT LEAST 10 letters when we come back in over a week's time, after bank holiday, so no pressure. If you loved us you'd send 10 letters. Just saying... Or join our Discord and drop us a letter there, of course. Link below!

TTFN,

We have corporate overlords! We now influence people! Hear our "wonderful" voices in all their "glory" thanks to the new microphones we've been gifted by the lovely folk at Shure and then click on this link and, maybe, buy one for yourselves!! https://tag.gs/OneLifeLeft_Shure
(In all seriousness, I used to use Shure mics back when I was in a band and again when doing production work and they're really very good so... yeah... worth a look!)

MEANWHILE, there's a podcast edition of a certain radio show to write about! This week there's a BUMPER podcast exclusive intro which is absolutely not almost entirely an advertorial for Shure, honest! We also have Fallout games making a comeback, Nintendo divorce Twitter/X, PSN do more U-turns, Evil Empire play too much Hades 2 and Lawbreakers makes a return! Why?! Nobody is... shure...

We also play GuessThe.Game and Ste reports back from Reboot and Simon uncharacteristically backs out of a joke!

Please send us more letters! Maybe buy a Shure mic, using our link, then write to tell us how much you love it?! Just a suggestion... Send your letters to team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord, drop a letter there AND get to play future OLL published game Black Diamond! Link below!

Welcome, dear listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left video game radio show and another set of lovingly hand-crafted, "artisanal", show notes with zero AI influence whatsoever! This week Simon holds in his wee to bring you this show, we mention something questionable (but definitely biological so it's OK) at least twice, Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham football club (and nobody else) get promoted, games devs should get tip jars, COD players moan about something that nobody is forcing them to buy, Baldur's Gate 3 wins things and Charlesbot has some exclusive BAFTA after party gossip just for you!

We also have computing memories and Ste plans to kill the games industry. Nothing major.

Tell all your friends about us and get your friends to tell their friends and so on... Then everyone write us a letter!! We want so many that we can put on a Listener's Letters" special edition like what all the serious gaming podcasts do! Imagine that... Send your letters to team@onelifeleft.com. Or pop across to our Discord server and leave a letter for us there. Link below!

We're back after a week off due to globe trotting shenanigans aplenty! This week we have rumours from GDCs past, Simon's embarrasing embrace(r) story, Capcom are top of Metacritic/does anyone care about Metacritic anymore? Dragon's Dogma moaning, Shinobi (Guerrilla) Warfare and Ubisoft jump on the AI bandwagon!

There's also a GDC 2024 report from Simon and Maraoke plus Black Diamond updates from S-T-E! We spoil you so much that we're going to take next week off to recuperate and hunt eggs. (Nah, I'm not doing the lazy "egg hunt" joke...)

How much food do you think $70 should get you? Has OLL changed your life and, if so, how?? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord, leave a letter there, join in the chat and get to play "exclusive" OLL game Black Diamond! Link below!

There's shenanigans afoot this week and it only dawned on me while putting these notes together of the potentially top level criminal activities afoot in the UK games industry! In amongst the weekly dose of totally innocent fare we have two seemingly unconnected stories from Simon: Peter Molyneux's car breaks down... Then Simon gets his car carjacked... Come to your own conclusions, dear listeners!! If anyone actually bothers to read these notes then I might've been too scared to even mention this - or I'll just be asked to change these notes if we're skirting too close to legal issues. It wouldn't be the first time I've Said Too Much

Aaaanyway, yes, in One Life Left this week we have S-T-E not going on a long flight and he's still not a lawyer but he does continue to update his (so far) OLL Exclusive Game Black Diamond (join our Discord to play!), there's an EA Steam stealth drop, March 10th day happened again, EU check out Apple's Epic issues, Warner Brothers can't be bothered and the future of console hardware is dead. Again. Maybe. And, yes, Simon gets his car carjacked "live" on air mere days after going to a posh UKIE dinner with the great and the good of the UK games industry! (Except Peter Molyneux...)

Don't forget (unless this is the first time you've heard) that there's a Resonance FM Fundraising Maraoke Special at Loading Bar Peckham in That London this coming Friday 15th March! Link for tickets and further details is below!

Where has Simon been to with a snooker player? What games do you play on long flights?? Should One Life Left have their own annual awards??? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or hit the link below to join our Discord server and leave a letter for us there!
