    Is Sonic Generations a Force to Be Reckoned With? And How Does Real-Life Quiddich Work, Anyway?

    Is Sonic Generations a Force to Be Reckoned With? And How Does Real-Life Quiddich Work, Anyway?

    This episode we take a look at not one, not two... but THREE Sonic games from the new list, in the form of Sonic 1, Sonic Generations and Sonic Forces!
    Is Sonic Forces as BAD as everyone says it is? Is Sonic Generations as GOOD as people claim? There's only one way to find out... well, there's probably quite a few ways to find out, but you can just listen to this episode seeing as you're already here.
    We also discuss some recent announcements in the gaming world, discuss Microsoft's upcoming 'modular controller', and ponder the intricacies of playing Quiddich in real life.
    Due to schedules being shuffled around we actually recorded this episode a month or so ago, so if some of the references seem a little out of date that's why!
    Still, enjoy!!

    DLC - We're Going Rogue... Like! Or is it Rogue... Lite?

    DLC - We're Going Rogue... Like! Or is it Rogue... Lite?

    It's the first DLC Episode of the new series!
    Teased in the previous episode, and inspired by our love for Dave the Diver, we discuss Roguelikes and Roguelites... although we're still not 100% on the difference.
    A new list episode is coming soon, but for now treat yourself to some of Bancho's primest Sushi and enjoy!
    **This was initially a Patreon Timed Exclusive, but now it's available here for your listening pleasure!**
    If you want to hear DLC episodes as soon as they come out, head over to our Patreon and sign up now!

    Will We Fold Under the Pressure? Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

    Will We Fold Under the Pressure? Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

    We're back with episode 2 (NOT Episode 1) of the new Season of Bucket List Gamers.
    This time we're talking about Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door for Nintendo Gamecube, and it's recent remaster on the Nintendo Switch. Battle your way through the eponymous Thousand Year Door in this RPG-Lite classic starring everyone's favourite chubby Italian plumber.
    We also discuss the potential for adverts in video games, and what constitutes a good Special Edition. Plus find out how Jay ended up £250 out of pocket thanks to Nordic Germans.
    Addressing the elephant in the room... yes, this was SUPPOSED to be episode 1, so just pretend we're making sense when you listen! A few of the bits of info are slightly out of date as a result too!
    For example, the Dave the Diver episode we mention at the end is ALREADY available on Patreon, so if you'd like to listen to that now you can find more details about it over there!
    Take a moment to drink in that title card too, it might be our favourite one yet!

    No Imposters Here! We're Back with Among Us and Another Nintendo Direct!

    No Imposters Here! We're Back with Among Us and Another Nintendo Direct!

    That's right, we're back with Season 2!
    After a short hiatus to recharge the batteries (and focus a little on our sister podcast The Bucket List Board Gamers) we have returned with a NEW book, a new focus... some might say a new purpose in life!
    This time we are looking at The Best. The Greatest. The Most Awesome, and we've kicked off with one that probably doesn't fit into any of those three categories; Among Us.
    Trust us, it wasn't our first choice (as evidenced by the fact this is actually the THIRD episode we have recorded for Season 2) but this week saw a Nintendo Direct take place, and we enjoyed talking about the last one so much we picked a game we didn't have much to say about, just so we could do this instead.
    So brace yourself for an hour and 20 minutes of inane rambling! Enjoy!
    If you'd like to check out the Odyssey Gaming Festival that WE will be attending on the 6th and 7th July, take a look at their website below for more information on what will be there and how to get tickets!

    It's the End of the (Super Mario) World as We Know It

    It's the End of the (Super Mario) World as We Know It

    It's the end of an Era. The end of a Book. The end of... Season 1 of the Bucket List Gamers!
    Yes, after 54 long episodes we have finally discussed ALL 100 Games to Play Before You Die (according to Retro Gamer Magazine), and we're rounding it off with Super Mario World (1).
    I mean, it had to be, didn't it?
    Do you know the enemies from Super Mario World? How about the Bosses? No? Well, it's evident after recording this episode that we don't either, but we're here to give our relatively uneducated opinion anyway!
    Plus we talk about Dave the Diver, and what's to come in Season 2!

    The Last of Us is the Second to Last of Us (For Season 1 at Least!)

    The Last of Us is the Second to Last of Us (For Season 1 at Least!)

    We're so close to the end of the Retro Gamers '100 Games to Play Before You Die' list we can almost taste it!
    This episode we're discussing the penultimate game in the list, which is 2013's The Last of Us (26).
    Perhaps more cinematic experience than fully fledged game, Jay and Eddie discuss Naughty Dog's zombie-esque magnum opus... and they've actually both played it for a change!
    Sooo... tape up a few shivs, throw some nails in an old tin can, pour yourself a glass of vodka then stuff a rag in the neck of the bottle, and most importantly sit back, relax and enjoy the Second to Last of Us in Season 1!
