Kill Phil Vol. 1

The gang's all here again for the first time in a long time to discuss the best games that they played in 2018. Were the actually good? Who knows? But it was certainly the best to them, and we all love a good cop-out answer. Grab some drinks and join the yelling! Cheers!

Danny and Ian get together to assure you that none of The Bit Pub has died from alcohol poisoning yet. They also drink a bit and discuss some recent games.

The lads try and wrap their alcohol-riddled brains around lootboxes, continuing game fees, and games-as-a-service. Its mostly sad but partially informative!

While 2017 was a garbage year for a lot of things, it certainly wasn't for video games! Don't worry, the lads Danny, Phil, James, and Ian will surely find a way to hate on every other game but one of them. Time to catch up on your beer drinking and your terrible podcasts. Come along, get a bit drunk, and yell at us for picking the wrong game! Cheers!

They might be good, they might be bad. The only guarantee is: they're there. Who made our list of most notable supporting characters? Grab a few too many beers and join Danny, James, Phil, and Ian as they hash it all out. Also due to a recording error, Phil sounds way for away. Also also, this is from forever ago because Ian is lazy and sucks at editing. Cheers!

Did you love Sega? Do you still love Sega? So did we and so DO we! In fact, we wish we could go back in time and fix things. OR, if someone would just let us take the reins, we'd really like to build them back in to the behemoth that they were all those years ago. Grab four or five drinks and join your friends Danny, James, Phil, Ian. and NEW friend Steve, as they discuss how they would HAVE saved Sega back then and how they WOULD save Sega right now. Cheers!

Most of us got a love for video games when we were young and its carried forward through today but, things start to change as you get older. Time seems to be more elusive and responsibilities increase. What does gaming look like as we get older? How do you maintain your love for the medium? Do your preferences and appreciation change? Is it better or worse? All this will be answered in meticulous detail (lies) in this episode of A Bit Drunk. Pour yourself a nice glass of something and join us. Cheers!

With the California Extreme convention around the corner (well, technically already occurred at the time of this release) the lads, James, Danny, Phil, and Ian, discuss their lists of the most important and favorite arcade games AND name a modern console game that SHOULD be an arcade cab.

Whatever! We do what we want! Or do we? Danny, James, Phil, and Ian have a rather frank discussion about free speech and video games. Can things go too far? Are there no limits?
