    This week we learn that things are going to be "OK" whilst, also, that there is always fear. It's an important life lesson that we probably don't make enough song and dance about. Also, at the point of recording AND of the podcast release of this episode, IT may still be coming home. I mean, IT likely won't but we're in that Schrödinger's Football Championship zone where anything can happen. However, if you're reading these notes at any point after about 10pm on July 10th 2024 then all of this is irrelevant. Also, hi, how's the apocalypse? Anything like Fallout? Let us know at etc etc... Meanwhile, we also hear about a Holland Park Gallic rejection, Bioware let us cheat death, Nintendo promise Switch 2's for everyone and a man gets in trouble for fidgeting with his Master Sword in public. It's true. Note from The Undercaretaker - Ste mentions something about beds at the start of the reviews section this week which leads Simon on to talking about Minecraft. This might not make sense but it's related to the musical intros/beds not working on the live & radio broadcast of the show (thanks, Riverside.fm!) that I've fixed for the podcast edition. I didn't want to completely butcher what our intrepid duo were talking about, though. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Ofcom's HQ is at Riverside House. Our recording software is Riverside.FM... CONSPIRACY??!? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or slide into our Discord and leave us a letter there as well as getting allocated a game to (rarely) review AND a link to play the OLL game currently called Black Diamonds! Link below!

    This week OLL is coming home, we're Shure of it! We talk about AAA games not doing well on iPhone, a grown man having a tantrum at Nintendo, the Cyberpunk sequel being more American and Steam members having a lot of unplayed games! We also reveal that Ste is not a Saudi prince and Simon doesn't appear to be a fan of the Tour de France. And, yes, I appear to have fixed the issues Ste mentions in the exclusive podcast intro! How cross has losing at video games ever made you, dear listeners? CONTACT US and let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord, leave us a letter there and also get to play Black Diamonds 2000, or whatever it'll eventually be called. Link below!

    This week we have blown over tomato plants, collapsing gazebos, how to get Steam games cheaper (just launch a class action against Valve), a Ubisoft dev can help us ignore Musk, SW: Outlaws might be boring and Xbox might get a handheld. Meanwhile one of our presenters might be getting cancelled but can you guess which one?! We also discuss Steam's recent Next Fest and the Mad(rid) Games Show! Do you lubricate your chair? Have you ever broken any Ofcom rules?? Tell us all about it at team@onelifeleft.com and maybe ask us a question as well. Or pop into our Discord and leave a letter there, link below!

On this week's episode we discuss the prices for Summer Games Fest, Blumhouse hit a six, Tetris now demands your blood and Ste applies for a job in a pixelated Ikea. What a load of Roblox!

    Thanks to our podcast platform having a hiccup, everything I'd originally written and hyperlinked got wiped out but, unlike a corrupted video game save that put me off playing a game for life, I can't walk away this time so, here, these are not the greatest show notes in the world, no, these are just a tribute... This week we have, albeit briefly, the Origin Story of Why Simon is in The Shed. Kind of. There's also the usual video game related news, reviews and letters. PLEASE SEND US MORE LETTERS!!! Fire them at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and write to us on there, link below!

    This week Simon briefly sounds like a robot (but it's not the mics fault, corporate overlords!) and Ste doesn't go to Buckingham Palace but, hold the front page, WE HAVE AN SSG!!! We're joined by Jupiter Hadley who tells us all about new indie game showcase Brilliant Indie Treasures which is aiming to take down Develop whilst also helping us to execute a bank heist. While those two things may fail, if they even get off the ground, Jupiter and team are definitely aiming to showcase over 50 playable, unreleased, indie games in a bank in Brighton so please do check them out. Jupiter also champions playing games for fun and not for punishment so that is certainly no bad thing! There's also Phoebe Waller-Bridge raiding some tombs, WASD report, the UK Government don't care about killing games, Xbox shift more games to PS and Take-Two haven't closed any studios, honest. Did you go to Buckingham Palace? Do you play games for "fun"?! Have you been closed by Take-Two?!? Tell us all about everything at team@onelifeleft.com and we're hoping for AT LEAST 10 letters when we come back in over a week's time, after bank holiday, so no pressure. If you loved us you'd send 10 letters. Just saying... Or join our Discord and drop us a letter there, of course. Link below!

    We have corporate overlords! We now influence people! Hear our "wonderful" voices in all their "glory" thanks to the new microphones we've been gifted by the lovely folk at Shure and then click on this link and, maybe, buy one for yourselves!! https://tag.gs/OneLifeLeft_Shure (In all seriousness, I used to use Shure mics back when I was in a band and again when doing production work and they're really very good so... yeah... worth a look!) MEANWHILE, there's a podcast edition of a certain radio show to write about! This week there's a BUMPER podcast exclusive intro which is absolutely not almost entirely an advertorial for Shure, honest! We also have Fallout games making a comeback, Nintendo divorce Twitter/X, PSN do more U-turns, Evil Empire play too much Hades 2 and Lawbreakers makes a return! Why?! Nobody is... shure... We also play GuessThe.Game and Ste reports back from Reboot and Simon uncharacteristically backs out of a joke! Please send us more letters! Maybe buy a Shure mic, using our link, then write to tell us how much you love it?! Just a suggestion... Send your letters to team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our Discord, drop a letter there AND get to play future OLL published game Black Diamond! Link below!
