S2 Episode 1: This podcast is definitely not a fraud

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2023/02/02

The Electronic Wireless Show podcast returns in 2023 with a new friend and a new format! We ran out of themes, so we're going to flip to a magazine format, where we discuss some current events as well as the games we've been playing. This week we talk about games on film, with everyone bloody loving The Last Of Us TV show and reports that Lara Croft will be hitting the small screen too. We also discuss the reasons a developer might have to come out and clarify that their game is, in fact, real

#209 - The Best Fantasy Video Game Dinner Party Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/11/24

Today is a sad occasion, as Matthew is leaving the pod, and we take the opportunity to go on a short hiatus while we search for a replacement by making staffers perform tricks for our amusement, reality competition style. But though it be sad, it is an occasion nonetheless, which means Matthew is going out in style as we build the ideal video game character dinner party. Spoilers: there is a giant ant and a boat full of cocaine. As it's his last day, Matthew also does a fiendishly difficult Cavern

#208: The Best Games For Having a Wistful Stare Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/11/17

As we leave the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness and plunge headlong into the seasons of frozen toes and unceasing rain, there aren't many good wistful staring days left in the calendar. But not to worry, because The Electronic Wireless Show podcast has collected some of the best games for having a virtual stare, so you can do it from the comfort of your own home. This does necessitate us defining wistful first, although honestly I think I nail it out of the gate. Nate also provides this

#207 - The Video Games That Make You Feel Cool Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/11/10

You know who's cool? You, obviously, for listening to the Electronic Wireless Show podcast. This week we're talking about games that make us feel like proper cool people, just like you - who, I emphasise again, are a very cool person. Matthew is not cool enough to be here this week, but I am joined by Nate, who is the king of cool (and crabs). There's a Cavern Of Lies to test Nate's coolness, and we check in with Henry "The Vit" Cavill, but first, of course, we must litigate the different kinds of

#206 - The Most Relatable Characters In Video Games...

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/11/03

Following our Halloween special last week, The Electronic Wireless show podcast today moves away from the monstrous to the relatable (which in our case does not preclude monstrosity). We talk about the characters that we relate to most, and also I find a way to mention Saturnalia again. Tune in next week to see if I can keep up my streak! Matthew being away this week means that Nate takes on the role of the anti-Matthew, and we speculate about which games we think Matthew would probably find

#205 - The Best Dread In Games Halloween Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/10/27

Happy skeleton war month, ya filty animals! This week on the Electronic Wireless Show we talk about dread, as in, the thing Matthew feels when confronted with glistening food, or when he knows he has to record a podcast with us. We talk about some cracking scary games, going a bit down the beaten track and away from our normal path of least resistance (talking about Red Dead Redemption 2 and BioWare games). We also have some spooky recommendations for you to spice up your Halloween! Plus, it's Nate

#204 -The Best Eco-Themed Games In Video Games

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/10/13

We celebrate all three of us being back, but 2/3rds of us being be-plagued, by talking about rejuvinating the Earth - truly, the podcast host of us all. Inspired by new eco-friendly farming game Coral Island, which I've been playing this week, we talk about our favourite games that roll with an ecological protection theme. This is hard for Matthew, because he hates the environment (unless his immediate environment contains a can of Rio). Matthew comes through with an excellent Cavern Of Lies about

#203 - The Best Villainous Breakdowns In Video Games...

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/10/06

We're back with a bang, a villainous laugh, and a dose of coronavirus I've brought back from somewhere in Tenerife. The two week drought is broken with a shower of Electronic Wireless Show podcast rain, were we discuss the best villainous breakdowns we've enjoyed in video games. Matthew is sadly away this week because, while my coronavirus dose is mild, like the tingle of delicious Rio Tropical on your tongue, Matthew's is wild and aggressive, like a super-charged Electricity Cop. In his absence,

#202 - The Best Era Changes In Games

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/09/15

This week on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast we, prompted by friendly listener OurSuperior, talk about the best changes of eras in games. As you can imagine, this is an easier task for Nate than it is to me, because many of his favourite games are predicated around era changes. Thus I find myself in the position of arguing semantics. How the turn tables have turned. I'm able to win Nate around on at least one of my desperate bids to classify things that aren't eras as eras, although he does

#201 - The Best Cinematics In Games

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/09/08

We enter the new pod-century on the Electronic Wireless Show a man down, as Matthew won't be here for a few weeks. Not to worry, though, as myself and Nate are ever ready to hold down the fort. This week we're talking about our favourite cinematics in video games, a fitting subject because last weekend I saw the greatest piece of cinema yet conceived by man: Michael Flatley's Blackbird. I do spend quite a lot of time explaining Blackbird to Nate, but after that we do talk about some cutscenes and

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/09/01

Standing on the shoulders of giants (Brendy and Pip and everyone else who did the podcast before us) means we have reached episode 200 of The Electronic Show podcast! Wowzer! Thanks for being with us for this record-breaking feat. We asked for suggestions and received many excellent ones, but in the end we went with a suggestion from Jonathon which, at the time we recorded, I did not realise would be instantly revealed by the episode title. Cheers to you all! For such a potentially ridiculous

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/08/25

This week on The Electronic Wireless Show podcast we give thanks to listener Tom Fakelastname, who emailed in to ask us about the moral quandaries in video games that we feel are the most meaningful. Matthew isn't here this week, which means we are very well behaved. I talk about BioWare games a normal amount, and Nate tries (and, in fairness, succeeds) to find a way to make moral choices a thing that you can apply to the sort of games he likes. Not Age Of Empires II this time, though. Because

#198 - the best last stands in video games

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/08/18

Today's topic for The Electronic Wireless Show podcast comes from listener Alastair Fakelastname, who suggested we talk about some of our favourite brave last stands in video game history. We do discuss what constitutes a last stand for the purposes of our discussion, but not until quite some time into the podcast. Many things are thrown into the ring, from RTS classics to famous boxart. As digressions we talk about Nate's monstrous fish army, and the cool ska band I went to see. Matthew has

#197 - The Most Annoying NPCs In Video Games

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/08/11

Welcome once again to The Electronic Wireless Show podcast. As a counterpoint to the episode on the nicest blokes to hang out with in games, we've decided to talk about our most hated NPCs (a bonus prize to anyone who can guess which is the one we all say first). It's an interesting one to discuss, because the line between intentionally annoying and unintentionally annoying can be very thin. Plus everyone tends to find different things annoying. Disclaimer: you are not annoying, any similarities you

#196 - The Games You'd Like To Play For The First...

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/08/04

I'm back from my holidays to record The Electronic Wireless Show podcast once again, and I've brought a reader email and a new tattoo of Murray from Monkey Island with me. These are both relevant, because the email from John suggests that we talk about the games that we'd like to play for the first time again - just erase them from our heads and encounter them anew. Thus, we discuss Lucasarts games like the Monkey Island series. See, I tied it all together. In fact, I'm not sure if I'd wipe Monkey

#195 - The Best Nice Blokes In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/07/29

Alice is away this week, leaving the lads to their own devices to discuss the best nice blokes in video games. A coincidence? Who can say. What isn't a coincidence is the lateness of this week's podcast, which is a week late. That's Katharine's fault, folks, which probably automatically disqualifies her from any kind of 'nice' list from here on out. Ah well. You win some, you lose some. The winners in this week's edition of The Electronic Wireless Show, however, are numerous. Taking that nice

#194 - The Best Towers In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/07/14

Matthew is away this week, which leaves me and Nate to take over The Electronic Wireless Show podcast and turn it into a big ol' tower with loads of flamethrowers. That's because we're talking about our favourite towers in games. This means we need to draw a distinction between towers (the gamified concept as most popularly complained about in Ubisoft games) and towers (the architectural thing). Luckily, games have a lot of both. Meanwhile, Nate's fish issue (fisssue?) is growing worse, I am

#193 - Our Most Nostalgic Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/07/07

Come with us now on a journey to our childhoods, as we talk about the games that make us feel the most nostalgic. The games we played as kids, or spent all-nighters on as teens. It's a surprisingly diverse list, and Matthew has one anecdote in particular involving the music of Danny Elfman that I genuinely think makes this a genuine must-listen episode. Do you have the same nostalgia games? Which ones instantly transport you to the past? This week we also get an important fish update from Nate, who

#192 - The Best Weather In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/06/23

This week Matthew is away, and since he is the real agent of chaos, Nate and I have a remarkably sensible conversation about different weather and seasons in a lot of games. Who'd have thought? Not me. And in fact there is weather in all sorts of places you wouldn't expect to look. Don't worry, though, because we find time to talk about how our weeks have been, as well as a bit where I tell Nate there's going to be a survival crafting game set in Moria and he gets excited. Also, stay tuned for a

#191 - The Best Games From Not E3 2022

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/06/16

This week Matthew and Nate are both away, but luckily I'm joined by two very special guests to discuss our favourite games from Summer Geoff Fest and the Not E3 2022 steams and showcases this past weekend. Rebecca from our guides team has been doing exhaustive work doing live chats and roundups for almost all the streams, and Edders was actually out in Los Angeles to play some games and chat to people. He even saw St. Geoff in the flesh. Wowser! We go through quite a list of things, and I'm sure
