    It's Time for a Recap! (Yes, We're Stalling...)

    It's Time for a Recap! (Yes, We're Stalling...)

    That's right, for our 51st (NOT 50th!) episode we're taking a look back through the list and discussing all the games that we have covered so far.
    We promise that we DO have a good reason for stalling, and it will hopefully make the penultimate list episode far better than it would have been if we had rushed it out.
    Will that penultimate episode be next week? We wouldn't count on it... but for now you can listen to us talking about stuff we've already talked about.
    It's not as bad as it sounds, honest! I mean it's not a clips show, right?
    Enjoy!

    We've said it before and we'll say it again... we don't really recommend you purchase anything from www.geekcrate.co.uk.
    Jay received 2 Pokemon crates that really weren't worth what they are asking for them, so from our personal experience we just can't in good conscience tell you to go and buy one too.
    BUT, one of our Patrons did purchase the Star Wars one, and that ended up being pretty decent so it seems like a mixed bag.
    If you REALLY are hell bent on buying one though, use our code 'BLG' at checkout for 15% off, and it'll help us out too!

    Two Middle Aged Men Review a Game for Toddlers... and Turrican 2!

    Two Middle Aged Men Review a Game for Toddlers... and Turrican 2!

    This Episode Jay and Eddie are talking about a game they probably should have covered off as part of a previous episode; Turrican 2 (81) from 1991.
    The game that would eventually become a licensed Universal Soldier tie in, Turrican 2 takes side scrolling difficulty to a whole new level... and not in a good way!
    But Turrican takes a backseat in this episode, as the boys turn their attention to the gaming behemoth that is... Bluey!
    Why have two grown men played a game designed for toddlers? How could they possibly spend over 40 minutes reviewing it? Should they have put this kind of effort into reviewing the other games on the list?
    All good questions, perhaps you'll find the answers by listening in!
    Enjoy!

    Hey! Listen! Is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the Best Game Ever?

    Hey! Listen! Is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the Best Game Ever?

    Well, according to Retro Gamer Magazine, no.
    That's right, this episode we're looking at The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (2) and for the first time in a while we've found a game we can be truly positive about!
    Don't worry though rant-fans, we still find time to have a little moan about a few things along the way!
    So whip out your Ocarina, pour a nice cool glass of Lon Lon Milk and settle in for over an hour of nostalgic guff!

    One Blazed an RPG Trail, the Other is an Epic Fail! We’re Looking At Dungeon Master & Deus Ex!

    One Blazed an RPG Trail, the Other is an Epic Fail! We’re Looking At Dungeon Master & Deus Ex!

    Yes we know all the modern day lingo like 'Epic Fail', and we aren't afraid to use it!
    This episode Jay and Eddie are looking at two RPG games (or at least games with an RPG element) in Dungeon Master (56) and Deus Ex (49) as they continue their quest to complete the 100 Games to Play Before You Die list!
    As ever, the pair struggle to stay entirely on topic, with talk drifting off to the likes of Syphon Filter, Perfect Dark and Nightmare the TV Show.
    **Advertisement**
    During the episode we talk extensively about Geekcrate.co.uk and how we don't REALLY recommend it entirely.
    However, if you have had your eye on it for a while and there's no chance of persuading you otherwise you can use our code 'BLG' which will get you a cool 15% off (and give us a little kickback which helps us keep the lights on!)
    If you really want to support us it's a great way to do so AND get a little bit of something yourself, but if you'd rather just throw us a couple of quid (and get access to some exclusive content) you can check out our Patreon instead!

    This Episode is Elite... and Rez, and Advance Wars!

    This Episode is Elite... and Rez, and Advance Wars!

    It's a triple header this time on the BLG Podcast as we limp ever closer to that 100th game on the list! We're looking three titles that really have no connection other than us not having much to say about them. They are Elite (21), Rez (84) and Advance Wars (93).
    We also talk about the two biggest bombshells to drop in the gaming world over the past week (hint: one of them is Pokemon related, and the other one is FAR bigger...)
    You may be curious why at one point in the podcast Eddie randomly starts laughing without any real context. Well, if you want to know the full story (and it's even more hilarious than it really deserves to be) we'll be putting the unedited, unfettered audio on our Patreon... so if that has piqued your interest head over there and sign up now!
