Weeeeeee’re back! With a bumper podcast reviewing not one, not two, but, oh – actually 2 games. One in a top secret hotel and the other billions of light years away in a massive garden. Probably.

We’ve both been super busy and missed all our lovely listeners, but rest assured 2018 will be arcadtabulous.

Yes, I went there. AND I MEANT IT. Now go and play Robert Smith and the Deadly Chicken Dinner.

We also find out that Shaun is possessed by a Marmot or Marmite?

Blah, blah, guff about something that may have happened in the podcast recording or just some nonsense that falls out of my head. What exactly is a biscuit shark, anyway?

One of us is well versed in Thundercade. A shmup. A very good shmup. The best shmup. I don’t know of a better shmup, do you? I mean, really. It’s a shmup. God save the shmup.

The other has been away. A long way away. Probably a lot of miles. To the best place. Have you seen the donuts over there? I like donuts. Who doesn’t? God save the donuts.

What were we doing again?

No Victor this week, so Shaun is joined by The Taggsta and Daz Domination from ‘Stralia, and we have returned to the Fantasy Zone to shoot mammoths in the face. No sign of Opa Opa this time, just a guy with a gun on a mission to destroy. Fly like a really fast bird, or maybe a quick insect, all over the screen. Don’t run into owt or you may die. Peace.
