#190 - The Best Games That Should Be Toys

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/06/09

Despite Matthew almost wilfully misunderstanding the topic for this week's Electronic Wireless Show podcast, we manage to settle down and talk about the games we'd most like to have toy sets of. What game d'you think would be the best Lego set? Action figures? Obscure 80s and 90s toy? Oh, we have fun on this show. Diversions this week are predictably about toys we had as kid, including a very long sidebar about Mighty Max, and Matthew's reverse-engineered Boglin hatred derived from his sad

#189: The Best Thing From A Game You Want In Real Life

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/06/02

This week on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast we clear up an initial misunderstanding but eventually get in sync and talk about the game things we'd want in real life: health packs, tetris, inventory management. By their powers combined we manage to create an absolutely nightmarish dystopian society where people live forever but cannot put more than four of the same thing in a line. It's bleak. Games should stay in games. Matthew continues the Wolfe Carlton saga, Nate is making a crayfish into

#188: The Best Noble Failures In Video Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/05/27

This week on the Electronic Wireless Show PC gaming podcast we're talking about the best our favourite noble failures, like the time I tried to make feta and red onion breakfast muffins. Ne'er touch the muffin pan since. No, of course it's our favourite video games that made big swings but didn't quite hit, a Nate Crowley-backed themed - and he kicks us off with a bid discussion about the infamous Jurassic Park tie-in game Trespasser. Try spelling "Jurassic" properly first time; I've never been able

#187 - The Funniest Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/05/19

After some of the stuff we talked about in last week's episode, I decided to take us further down the giggle chute to talk about funny games in general. What games are funny? Why, and how? Is it easier for games to be funny when they're not trying to be? Should self-described funny games be avoided entirely? Because of this, we end up talking about Blorko again. We also nearly come to war about the difference between randomly improvising funny stuff and deciding that saying 'egg' a lot of is funny

#186 - The Best Writing In Games

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/05/12

We're going macro this week, so we're talking about the best writing in video games. This is a very broad topic for discussion, so that means I also get to say 'ludonarrative dissonance' (we also describe 'ludonarrative harmony' as its opposite). Please don't let this put you off, though, because we do talk about some bloody well good games. The times being what they are, though, results in us having a long discussion of patter theft, because some dreadful American (we assume) stole the "It's me,

#185 - The Best Dungeons In Games

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/05/05

Nate returns, and with him the suspicious smell of eggs and salt water. But also highjinks! We discuss toilet meals, revenge, and content theft of "It's me, Blorko!" and other instances of stolen Twitter valour. If valour exists on Twitter. This is, of course, all prelude to us talking about some of our favourite dungeons in video games - there are a lot! Shout out to Zelda, which Nate hasn't played, but also Hades, Elden Ring and - of course - Dungeon Keeper. And many more! There's no Henry Cavill

#184: The Best Video Game Ideas On Paper

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/04/28

We're a two-hander this week, as Nate has a sore throat, but Matthew and I have a jolly old time talking about the games that sound like amazing ideas on paper (whether they end up being great off the paper or not) and even manage to contrast them with games that sound like a bad pitch but end up great. We manage to talk about a lot of games in a sensible way, and even gesture at serious discussion of how prestige indies can dominate their niche to the detriment of other interesting games. Also we

#183: The Best Games In Games In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/04/21

As I mention on the episode, we've now organised our podcast recordings with a big spreadsheet, which means that (in theory) repeat topics on The Electronic Wireless Show podcast should be at a minimum. But for now we may have doubled up again, as we talk about games that have other, smaller games in them, like a Kinder Egg or a novelty casino. Before that we have a big more egg chat to get out of the way, and a decent discussion on some of Henry Cavill's recent activities. Also I complain about

#182: The Best Eggs In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/04/14

This week on The Electronic Wireless Show podcast there was some confusion, because I wanted us to do a part 2 best Easter eggs special, and Nate got confused, so here we are just talking about eggs in games. We also discuss real life eggs i.e. what are the best egg formats? Nate and I are both sad because we consider boiled eggs to be inherently funny but neither of us like eating them. We also learn that Nate has dismantled his aquarium room (for a good reason) and that Matthew witness a car

#181: The Best Mums In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/04/07

Like all badly behaved children, we're guiltily celebrating Mother's Day a week late this year on The Electronic Wireless Show podcast. This time we're talking about our favourite mothers in games, which basically means we're talking about a bunch of angels and monsters. But come for the mother chat, stay for the cursed chickens and Matthew's eel/snake hatred. Plus I play one of the best Cavern Of Lies I think I've ever done. Apologies again for sounding a bit echoey this week as I await the

#180: The Best Games To Adapt Into A TV Show Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/03/31

This week, we discuss the games we think would make great TV shows, in honour of Halo being made into a big old telly series this month. Alice Bee is away this week, adapting to life in a brand-new country, leaving Nate and Matthew to dwell on the merits of The Mandalorian, and whether a show following the life of a Halo grunt would be better than big flashy Master Chief quips. Matthew puts forward the idea of a Hitman TV show in the vein of Succession, focusing not on Agent 47, but the elite

#179: The Best Guh-Guh-Guh-Ghosts In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/03/24

This week, in a move perhaps more suited to an October special episode, we put the spook 'ems right up you and talk about the best ghosts in games. This is in honour of Ghostwire: Tokyo, a game that Matthew played and reviewed for us, and one that has loads of bloody ghosts in it. No update on Henry Cavill this week, but we talk a bit about Matthew's cursed trip to DisneyLand Paris, ways that Ghostbusters could take on a very different tone, and, once again, inject some serial killer energy into

#178: The Best Heists In Games

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/03/17

This week the Electronic Wireless Show podcast is talking about our favourite heists. Although we start with a bit of confusion because I changed the topic too late and Matthew didn't notice. Yes: I successfully pulled off a truth heist! As well as talking a lot about heists in games, we discuss whether or not most crimes are heists. For example, theft in general is just spicy picking up, and murder is a soul heist. Matthew clues us in on what it was like to work for a secret shopper company, and

#177: The Best Mounts In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/03/10

This episode of the Electronic Wireless Show podcast is all about our favourite mounts in video games - as in, animals that carry you around in games. Not cars. Machines don't count as mounts, I think we can all pre-agree on that. We discuss a lot of different horses, and some things that are not horses, from a bunch of different games. Also, Nate and I get angry at Metal Gear Solid. There are some traditional digressions, although there's no substantial Henry Cavill update this week. We spend some

#176: The Best Regular Jobs In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/03/03

Full disclosure: this episode of the Electronic Wireless Show podcast was initially going to be called the best menial jobs in games special, but half way through we decided we didn't like the term, and also that it was limiting the scope of the episode, so we changed it to regular jobs. Basically we're talking about when you do normal work in games that isn't hero-slaying-monster type stuff, you know? A really bumper number of digressions this week, though. The train really gets derailed early as

#175: The Best Nightclubs In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/02/24

Another week, another episode where I get the number wrong again. Contrary to what I say on the recording, this is in fact episode 175 of the Electronic Wireless Show podcast. I probably got it wrong because I'd been up all night at the discotheque. Yes, this week we're taking a suggestion from the listeners and talking about our favourite nightclubs in games. And three more qualified people to talk about clubbing you would not meet. But first this week there's some big Henry "Vitamin H" Cavill

#174: Palentine's Day Special!

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/02/17

Happy Valentine's day to you, even though we are a bit late. If any annoying colleagues or relatives ask, you can say that we're all your girlfriend. We at the Electronic Wireless Show podcast like to think of it as Palentine's anyway, because we're all pals and you, our listeners, are all our pals too (including Henry "Vitamin H" Cavill). So today we're talking about our favourite romances in video games, but also our absolute best mates, too. Sadly Matthew, one of our real life bestest pals,

#173: The Best MacGuffins In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/02/10

Inspired by how much Matthew made me laugh with his withering assessment of the MacGuffin in the film Red Notice being an egg, this week the Electronic Wireless Show podcast is all MacGuffin, all the time. We discuss some of our favourite examples of the plote device in question to be found in video games, which of course leads to some interesting discussions about what even is a MacGuffin. Can a MacGuffin be intangible? No, probably not. We discuss whether any MacGuffin is improved by replacing it

#172: The Best Finishing Moves In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/02/03

This week the Electronic Wireless Show podcast is going all in on our favourite finishing moves. This doesn't just mean things from fighting games, although they do obviously make a good showing. As you can imagine, Nate makes the case for RTS games with what he and his pals term 'the GG push'. Plus, we have a great Mortal Kombat themed Cavern Of Lies this week, courtesy of Matthew. Much time is spent on some excellent digressions this week, including James MacAvoy as a rampaging dinosaur from

#171: The Best Inventories In Games Special

Electronic Wireless Show ·

2022/01/27

This week the Electronic Wireless Show podcast discusses some of our favourite (and least favourite) inventory configurations. A humble beast, the inventory, yet a feature of many games - sometimes even a necessity. Often we only notice one if it's terrible. But boy, a good inventory is worth a dozen mules. So lets talk about them today! In other news this week, Nate thinks he has come up with an original premise for a Pixar film, only to discover he has invented Seth Rogan's nightmare film Sausage
