Re: Retro gaming

We bought a Mega Drive Classic Game Console with the intention of playing games from original cartridges as there is a slot for them(my better half likes to play Desert Strike). We used the wireless controllers that came with it but found them unreliable at best so we bought original wired Mega Driv...

Re: Videogame Podcast Recommendations

Would it help if I confessed that I have a repeat listen of the Cane & Rinse podcast on Sunday evenings while watching the Italian football?

Re: Videogame Podcast Recommendations

It has been X amount of years since I listened to Dark Zero but I think the reason was I gradually came to the conclusion that there was too much talk off topic from video games for my liking which put me off from trying Midnight Resistance.

Re: Videogame Podcast Recommendations

For some reason, I recently got nostalgic about the idea that I should have kept a diary documenting when I used to listen to podcasts regularly. I listen to a different podcast each commute day but my routine is the same week after week. For example: Monday I listen to Harry Shearer's Le Show Tuesd...

PlayStation 3 Hard Drive

I wanted to ask your collective advice from a community I feel I can trust as I lack the knowledge. Please feel free to move the topic if it is in the wrong area of the forum. My better half has a corrupted file on her PS3. The PS3 prompted her to select the option to "correct" the file af...

Re: Videogame podcast recommendations

I was gutted when I discovered that Chet & John's was finishing. As a result, I've spent the last few days sampling a hundred or so podcasts on iTunes trying to find a British video game podcast that isn't needlessly funny or goes off topic. If you would like to listen to a sensible and intellig...

Limited Game Time

I've got this nagging urge to gather wider feed back on a topic that is a bit hard to explain so please bare with me. To give a bit of back ground on who I am, I used to play video games a lot when I was a child/teenager in the late 80s and early 90s. When I went to university the first time around ...

Re: Videogame podcast recommendations

I would recommend the Guy Cocker podcast: http://www.guycocker.com/ In my opinion, Guy was the constant that tried to keep the Gamepsot UK podcast respectable. A couple of months after I stopped listening to that podcast, Gamespot stopped producing it which is when Guy went freelance. I wasn't the o...

Re: Book Recommendations

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but it was brought to my attention on the Guy Cocker podcast that the Kickstarter funded book about Sensible Software is now available: http://www.readonlymemory.vg/

Re: Videogame podcast recommendations

Chet & John's Finite Playlist is a wonderful podcast. It has a unique format and if on the odd occasion that they do say something funny, they don't dwell on it. Gameburst is a firm favourite in my listening schedule. I remember sending them an email telling them how good they were after they we...

Videogame Podcast Recommendations

Firstly, I’ve looked through the various sections and couldn’t find a thread related to this subject so I hope you don’t mind me creating this here. I’m looking for a new British weekly podcast for video games to listen to and I wondered if anyone on here would be able to recommend one to me. The Ga...
