The_B provides his extensive knowledge and expertise in the realms of video game journalism, video game playing, and downright absurdity. A long time friend of Squidges, whose friendship goes back almost 15 years.

Some say that The_B has such a command over the written word that he needs no other skills, others say that he is the incompetent Spider-Man - you should decide.

Mad Max in Bright Colours with The B

Pokémon turned 25, and it made both Jay and Squidge feel really old. And because misery loves company, we asked The B to talk about it on the show. We also reached out to the Pokémon community for comments and questions. Gotta Catch ’em All, indeed.

Tomb Raider Turns 25 - Raiding Tombs With the B

We celebrated the 25th anniversary of Tomb Raider with The B. We discussed the legacy of Lara Croft’s game series, her impact on popular culture, and our favourite titles across the many different canons of Tomb Raider.

Catching Up With The B - Part Two

What happened after Acclaim went belly up, and which games where they actually involved in? Which games should Nightdive Studios remaster next? And just who owns the rights to No One Lives Forever? These questions, and more, are covered in part two of our catch up with The B.

Catching Up With The B - Part One

It had been ages since we last had a proper catch-up with The B, so we invited him back on the show to talk about what he’s been playing recently, get distracted by food, and talk about Nightdive Studio’s Shadow Man Remaster. Along the way, we discuss the Sony "timebomb" built into all PS3, PS4, and PS5 consoles, Xbox GamePass, and how this year’s E3 will be different.

2021, Huh. What Is It Good For? (Part One)

We got together with both The_B and Stoo Cambridge to discuss what they’re looking forward to in 2021, in part one of a bumper episode featuring 6 (!?) hosts. We talk about game-breaking bugs (and not just about Cyberpunk 2077), Jay drops some development theory knowledge, Stoo tells us about his new shop, and there’s a tease of a Resident Evil 2 board game stream.

WaffleFest With The B - Part Two

In part two of our WaffleFest special: The B joined us for a discussion revolving around pro wrestling in video games. We talked about our favourites, why they are our favourites, and a little about why we think pro wrestling is a lot of fun to watch.

WaffleFest With The B - Part One

In part one of our WaffleFest special: we catch up with The B, discuss what we’ve all been playing recently, talk about the 5 big games of 2020 so far, and the idea of role-playing a specific goose in a specific game - neither of which are related to one another.

The B wants to put a very, very good series of games into the Cupboard of Shame, Jay talks about the only good video game movie in existence, and we discuss light gun games

Surprise Waluigi Strikes Again

Squidge, The B, and myself talk our usual bought of nonsense. But this time, Waluigi makes a surprise return, we discuss the silent Waffler Ik, and the B tries to convince Squidge to try a cooking simluator.

The 2019 Hype Train

We took some time (in early January) to discuss our most anticipated games, and what we think are going to be the big news items for gaming in 2019. I wonder whether we’ll be proven right or not

Damn Squidge!

Squidgey talks to us all about the Resident Evil 2 board game. He received his copies, expansions, and kickstarter exclusives before the festive period, so he’s had a fair bit of experience of playing it. And now he wants to tell us all about it

A video game podcast which spends almost an entire episode talking about Black Mirror? The Devil, you say.

Hello Squidgey

This isn’t really an episode of the podcast, just a silly project that I’ve been working on. Without Squidgey on the show, there would be no show. So this is a tribute, of sorts, to him.

Spooptober 2018

Part three of a multi part, end of year spectacular is all about Spooptober. We discuss all things spoopy in our late Spooptober special episode. Because that’s the way to end a year of episodes, right?

Part one of a multi part, end of year spectacular. We brought G and The B (and a few other mystery guests) into the Technodrome for our end of year special. Stick around as we discuss all things gaming, and a few things in the way of movies

The Raz-Matazz Cast (with B – Part Three)

Part three of B’s 2018 debut – he was on our final episodes of 2017, but hasn’t been on the show since. B takes us through his unpopular opinion in gaming, which sparks a long discussion on folks such as Hideo Kojima, Cliffy B and Peter Molyneux

Part two of B’s 2018 debut – he was on our final episodes of 2017, but hasn’t been on the show since. We decided to take a look at how much we had each spent on Steam during the life time of our accounts. Then we have a discussion about our unpopular gaming opinions

Part one of three of B’s 2018 debut – he was on our final episodes of 2017, but hasn’t been on the show since. We talk about E3, the Nintendo Switch (there’s a surprise), and how this summer has been re-assuringly quite for AAA titles (so far) which helps us to get through our collective backlog of games
