    S3 Episode 11: are AI NPCs the future? Our impression of what they sound like suggests no

    S3 Episode 11: are AI NPCs the future? Our impression of what they sound like suggests no

    No James this week, but I am joined by Nate for this week's Electronic Wireless Show podcast to discuss Ubisoft's new NEO NPC prototype - an NPC you can have a stilted, weird conversation with using the power of AI! It's fair to say we are quite partisan about this and do not want it, but we discuss why anyway. In counterpoint, we think World Of Warcraft's new piratey battle royale game mode sounds pretty cool and good, actually?
    Plus: I ask Nate to explain cool things that I've seen in Warhammer 40K: Darktide, and Nate tries to convince me to take a devil's bargain where I have to play WOW for at least 12 hours a day, but I get a sort of increasing MDMA high while doing so.

    S3 Episode 10: making fun of that Ready Player One metaverse game

    S3 Episode 10: making fun of that Ready Player One metaverse game

    Much like an early morning bakery or a petrol station forecourt, I can't go past Ready Player One author Ernest Cline doing something without sticking my nose in. This week he announced the start of a new metaverse, called Readyverse, with the reveal of a web3 enabled battleroyale game called Open. Or, technically, Op3n. Ope-thren. I don't know. We discuss this, I make James read a terrible poem, and we also talk about the games we weren't allowed to play as kids. Plus: the games we are allowed to play, right now, cos we're adults, and some juicy recommendations for you all.

    S3 Episode 9: hiding your shameful sex games with Steam's new update

    S3 Episode 9: hiding your shameful sex games with Steam's new update

    This week Steam unveiled a couple of changes. Your shopping basket from the Steam store is now shared between devices, so if you put something in there on browser you can finish it up on your Steam Deck. But, more importantly, you can now hide single, selected games from your library, so your friends can't see when you're playing them - or even that you own them. Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is that this could usher in a new dawn of secret perverts able to hide their embarrassing 3D sex games, but are there other use cases for it? We discuss. Plus: we've been playing current games! Cheese! And some more booze recommendations from James!

    S3 Episode 8: does Elden Ring still have a hidden secret to find?

    S3 Episode 8: does Elden Ring still have a hidden secret to find?

    As with all headlines that are phrased as a question, the answer is "probably not", but in any case, Miyazaki has mysteriously hinted at there being at least one secret thing in Elden Ring that players haven't found yet. On this week's Electronic Wireless Show podcast we discuss this, as well as some of our favourite and least favourite deployments of the video game Easter egg. We also talk about what we've been playing this week (Nightingale; PowerWash Sim, natch) and visiting Scotland. Sadly neither of us got to go to the Glasgow Willy Wonka experience. But we both wish we could have.

    S3 Episode 7: we lose it over PowerWash Simulator's Warhammer 40K crossover for a bit

    S3 Episode 7: we lose it over PowerWash Simulator's Warhammer 40K crossover for a bit

    This week Alice takes the opportunity to make everyone talk and think about PowerWash Simulator, which also means Nate gets to talk about Warhammer 40K bloody loads, because that's the next DLC pack for PowerWash Sim. Plus: we've been playing a lot of current games, like Helldivers 2, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors, and Last Epoch. Also, James reveals a shocking secret.

    S3 Episode 6: Skull & Bones is finally about to come out

    S3 Episode 6: Skull & Bones is finally about to come out

    It's happening! Why, I played Skull & Bones back when it wasn't even a live service game. But now it is, and it's out this weekend. We talk a bit about how long it has been coming out, why it's been in development this long, and why they didn't just release the sucker the two or three previous times they got close to doing so. Honestly, I hope it does okay. We also talk about the games we've been playing this week, and Nate challenges us with a game of Palworld Pal: real or fake? PLUS the giant game dildo and our recommendations this week.
