It’s finally time! Catsman, Mooglepies, Woolyshambler, Specs and ZootSuitBrute put aside 2 hours for your listening pleasure to FINALLY talk about the TV that fell off the wall!

Oh, and Ape Out, which was the book club game.

A picture of the TV being affixed to the wall

The next book club game is Populous: The Beginning. If you want to play it, the EA store version WILL NOT WORK ON MODERN PCs so I advise getting the GOG copy and you’ll also need something like this: https://thebeginning.uk/enhanced-edition/

There’s also a multiplayer client which can patch it in a similar way.

Poll for the next book club game is here: https://poll.ly/TIihWPRTUMSypv8TLDqD please vote and we will better know what you want us to play.

We’re aiming to release a podcast series about all the games in UFO 50. It’ll probably be in our youtube feed, maybe not in your podcast feed. Reminder that we also do a podcast about Pokémon.

This episode was edited by Specs. Sorry if it sounds shit again. I actually had to get people to re-record some lines here and there. Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll get our acts together some time. We’ve only been doing this for like 10 years.

This episode was edited by Specs. Sorry if it sounds shit, there were a lot of weird errors with editing the files on this one so the audio balance might be a bit messy in places. I’ve done my best to keep it at my usual level of quality.

Mitch, Bran, Specs, Moogle and Catsman discuss the new Zelda game. We all think it’s really good but we also talk (a lot) about the annoying little bad bits.

The next book club game is still Deadly Creatures on the Wii. You can contribute to the wheel we use to determine our next podcast game by adding to the “poll”. Please be sensible.
