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.

    Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, the video game radio show presented by Simon "Undisputed King of Comedy" Byron and Ste "Product of a Thatcherite Economy" Curran! On this week's episode we discuss the prices for Summer Games Fest, Blumhouse hit a six, Tetris now demands your blood and Ste applies for a job in a pixelated Ikea. What a load of Roblox!

    We also get an update on Ste and Simon's travels and hear the latest on Black Diamond along with the usual letters and reviews.

    #545 - Shed Origin

    Thanks to our podcast platform having a hiccup, everything I'd originally written and hyperlinked got wiped out but, unlike a corrupted video game save that put me off playing a game for life, I can't walk away this time so, here, these are not the greatest show notes in the world, no, these are just a tribute...

    This week we have, albeit briefly, the Origin Story of Why Simon is in The Shed. Kind of. There's also the usual video game related news, reviews and letters. PLEASE SEND US MORE LETTERS!!! Fire them at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and write to us on there, link below!

    #544 - Cat Included

    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!

    #543 - For Shure!

    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!

    #542 - Standing Room Only

    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!

Best gaming podcast around. 7/10

I stumbled across this and now feel very informed about gaming now. I really enjoy the hosts banter, they are funny and British, so thats a thing. There are quite a few inside jokes to get used to, but they are pretty hilarious once you get them.

Something thats really great and refreshing is hearing the hosts criticizes larger problems in gaming rather than just complaining about how much they want another Fallout or which multi-million dollar game they are currently playing.

Keep up the good work guys!

Better than most...

Very well produced with the 8-bit intros and outros etc. Good interviews with guests that never show on USA podcasts. This is much better than IGN UK.

Most podcasts pretty much just recycle the weeks news stories verbatim, a few like Giant Bomb and The Cagcast have more to say an have fun saying it in a different way. One Life Left too is always fresh and a good listen. Bye!
