Episode 89: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Imagine if we did a bait and switch and halfway through the pod we just start talking about f*****g Roblox or something. That's what you did to us, Kojima!
Nah, Raiden's alright with us. He's had a rough life. Probably just misses his old glasses. But yeah, we're talking about Metal Gear Solid 2 and it's one of the best pods we've ever done. If you don't listen, don't blame us for you lack of enlightenment.
Come say hi @winnerisyoupod, rate/review on your pod platform of choice and we'll see you next time for Halo: CE. -
Episode 88: The 2008 Video Game Draft
KDB rejoins his best friends for a distinctly, well, friendly draft. This time, it's 2008 under the microscope, as the lads all draft 10 games each from the year and hope to have the best metacritic score by the end.
David's won the last two in a row, and is looking for a cheeky hat-trick. KDB just doesn't want to lose again. You can play along by checking the list of 2008 games we drafted from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:2008_video_games
There's also a bonus bit of chat about Alone in the Dark, Dave the Diver and FFVII Remake.
Like/rate/review/subscribe/be nice. Say hi @winnerisyoupod and we'll see you next episode for Metal Gear Solid 2! -
Episode 87: MARCH MOVIE MADNESS pt 2 - The Batman + Batman: Arkham Asylum
We round off the madness of March and all its movie magnificence with two fantastic pieces of Batman media.
First up is the the latest entry into Batman's cinematic adventures, with 2022's grisly detective thriller, The Batman.
The second half of the pod is dedicated to one of the greatest licensed games of all time, the one that started a revolution - Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Episode 86: MARCH MOVIE MADNESS pt 1 - RoboCop + RoboCop: Rogue City
Grab your popcorn and curl up for a movie night with the lads. In a new annual feature, we're combining a movie with a game on our pods for the month of March, and first up is a cracking combo.
We watched the 1988 classic RoboCop (Alex also watched RoboCop 2) and played RoboCop: Rogue City so we can talk about both of them in one pod!
Don't forget to rate/review on your pod platform of choice, say hi over @winnerisyoupod and stay tuned for the next instalment of Triple M, where we'll be covering The Batman + Batman: Arkham Asylum.
PS. Sorry about the audio not being as good as normal this episode. Alex had the wrong input selected when recording so we had to edit the pod using the audio from the Discord call. It'll be better next time, please don't tell ED-209 about this. -
Episode 85: 10 Years of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze & Our Favourite 2D Platformers
Ook ook, are you folks ready to go a... oh wait, I already did that one. Still, you don't need to be a king (preferably nobody is) to appreciate Kong around here - we absolutely love DKC: Tropical Freeze.
We love it so much, in fact, that we both rank it in our top 10 2D platformers of all time. After we get through praising the game for its 10th birthday, we talk about our individual lists of GOAT platformers.
