  • A lovely place

    Despite the fact I find Inel’s laughing at absolutely every single thing that is said, regardless of whether it’s funny or not, I find this podcast very enjoyable (clearly he has a joy for life that I don’t!) All the presenters & guests seem like genuinely lovely people and it feels like they have tried to create a welcoming and kind space where all opinions are welcome and this is incredibly rare in the often toxic gaming community. Great work!

101: The Muskiest Main Characters ft. Sam Cornforth

Sam suggests James Bond's 007 Nightfire would smell like a refined, oak-y, masculine scent, while others propose Kratos as a musky, pine-forward option; the discussion explores what iconic game characters' scents would be.
99: Rik Mayall's Nintendo Monopoly ft. Barney Banks
Q: What feature that we take for granted in games was first introduced in 1984 on the game Pitfall 2 Lost Caverns?
