One Life Left -- s21e04 -- #450 -- Dinosaurs in Space

Welcome, dear listeners, to another podcast edition of the One Life Left video game radio show and another set of lovingly hand-crafted, "artisanal", show notes with zero AI influence whatsoever! This week Simon holds in his wee to bring you this show, we mention something questionable (but definitely biological so it's OK) at least twice, Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham football club (and nobody else) get promoted, games devs should get tip jars, COD players moan about something that nobody is forcing them to buy, Baldur's Gate 3 wins things and Charlesbot has some exclusive BAFTA after party gossip just for you! We also have computing memories and Ste plans to kill the games industry. Nothing major. Tell all your friends about us and get your friends to tell their friends and so on... Then everyone write us a letter!! We want so many that we can put on a Listener's Letters" special edition like what all the serious gaming podcasts do! Imagine that...

We're back after a week off due to globe trotting shenanigans aplenty! This week we have rumours from GDCs past, Simon's embarrasing embrace(r) story, Capcom are top of Metacritic/does anyone care about Metacritic anymore? Dragon's Dogma moaning, Shinobi (Guerrilla) Warfare and Ubisoft jump on the AI bandwagon! There's also a GDC 2024 report from Simon and Maraoke plus Black Diamond updates from S-T-E! We spoil you so much that we're going to take next week off to recuperate and hunt eggs. (Nah, I'm not doing the lazy "egg hunt" joke...) How much food do you think $70 should get you? Has OLL changed your life and, if so, how?? Let us know at [email protected]. Or join our Discord, leave a letter there, join in the chat and get to play "exclusive" OLL game Black Diamond!

There's shenanigans afoot this week and it only dawned on me while putting these notes together of the potentially top level criminal activities afoot in the UK games industry! In amongst the weekly dose of totally innocent fare we have two seemingly unconnected stories from Simon: Peter Molyneux's car breaks down... Then Simon gets his car carjacked... Come to your own conclusions, dear listeners!! If anyone actually bothers to read these notes then I might've been too scared to even mention this - or I'll just be asked to change these notes if we're skirting too close to legal issues. It wouldn't be the first time I've Said Too Much Aaaanyway, yes, in One Life Left this week we have S-T-E not going on a long flight and he's still not a lawyer but he does continue to update his (so far) OLL Exclusive Game Black Diamond (join our Discord to play!), there's an EA Steam stealth drop, March 10th day happened again, EU check out Apple's Epic issues, Warner Brothers can't be bothered and the future of console hardware is dead. Again. Maybe. And, yes, Simon gets his car carjacked "live" on air mere days after going to a posh UKIE dinner with the great and the good of the UK games industry! (Except Peter Molyneux...) Don't forget (unless this is the first time you've heard) that there's a Resonance FM Fundraising Maraoke Special at Loading Bar Peckham in That London this coming Friday 15th March! Link for tickets and further details is below! Where has Simon been to with a snooker player? What games do you play on long flights?? Should One Life Left have their own annual awards???

This week we're riddled with doom, gloom and a cheat code that blows Hot Coffee cold! Hang on tight, this one's a rollercoaster... It includes a Helldiver 2 related ruse, Balatro ratings shenanigans, beer drinking in a playground and Charlesbot shows he's somewhat out of touch with modern Mums! On the exclusive podcast intro, Simon prepares himself a delicious pot noodle-esque "meal" that may or may not involve chicken. And don't forget the Resonance FM fundraising Maraoke on Friday 15th March! Link below! Meanwhile, as Phil the Undercaretaker awaits his meeting with HR for getting the boys to read "that" 80s cheat code, we ask you, dearest listeners, to please send us more letters as Phil is now banned from doing so.

In the podcast exclusive intro we discuss 'that' trailer... you know the one... Meanwhile we have a deep dive into games development as we find out more about another game that Ste has released into the wild (via our EXCLUSIVE OLL Discord server... link below!) See, you really are missing out if you're not on there... Friday 15th March - you're going to be at the Resonance FM Fundraising Maraoke event at Loading Bar, Peckham, yeah?

Hello dearest listeners! This week Baldur's Gate 3 wins awards, the Silent Hill 2 remake trailer isn't good, we get an OG Tomb Raider game warning, Xbox hardware won't vanish and the Switch 2 gets delayed (maybe).

Hello dearest listeners! This week in the podcast edition of the world's longest running (English language) video game radio show we have dangerous tree cutting, gaming based anxiety nightmares, children tell jokes, more Nintendo speculation and crazy price tag defence.

You should always take your socks gaming with you. That may or may not be the important lesson to be learned in this week's episode, or I misheard something. Possibly that. On this week's RADIO SHOW that is also a podcast (but a RADIO SHOW first and foremost) we also find out what is "confusing AF" about Bluey's Xmas episodes, Palworld copies from Pokemon shocker, 8% of all devs are working on Switch 2, PS4 outsells XSX, 100 is small, Simon bursts into song and Charlesbot tries out his Australian accent! Plus there's a test run of our new trivia quiz that may never get repeated. Winner gets a pair of socks - the perfect co-op gaming companion! Things are getting dangerously low on the letters front, dear listeners! Beat those January blues by writing us a missive to [email protected].
