That, plus the news and our gaming habits on this week's episode of the Button Bash Bunch.

The boss is charging up an attack...dodge, perfect. A massive amount ways to go in a level, but you find you're way to the exit first time, funny that, or is it? Today we tackle the interesting language game designers use when making games, and how we players have learned to speak it. We talk about our games of the week, as well as the news that has come out this week on the button bash bunch.
In another life, you would have been made. So I don't have to say you were the one that got away... This week on the podcast we discuss the games that never got made but we wished had done. It leaves us in a particularly foul mood with a lot of the usual villains in gaming (and movies this time) but if it sounds like it would be cathartic for you then give it a listen. We also discuss the weekly news and our games of the week on another episode of the button bash bunch.
Back in my day, games came in shiny plastic cubes they did! And we could count the individual polygons. and we were happy with that dang nab it!

We also have a new segment of the show where we discuss the weekly gaming news on this week's episode of the Button Bash Bunch.

All this plus our games of the week and the usual tangents on this week's episode of the button bash bunch.

Yes it's been dominating the gaming world this week and as such we're talking about Microsoft's purchase of Activision-Blizzard-King.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. We get to kick back, relax and think about all the games we've managed to play over the past year. 2021 hasn't been the easiest year, but there have been some great games for us to play over the past 12 months and today we are going to bring our collective experiences down to a slim 10 years. We'll leave the ordering of those ten games until next week, but you can hear our decision making in how we came to our top ten list. Come listen to us talk about our experiences of new games over the past 365 days, and get a little confused over the release dates of a couple of them. This, plus we recount the games we've been playing this week and more in another episode of the Button Bash Bunch.

Excitement is the name of the game this week on the podcast. We break down the hype train and talk about how hype has effected us in our enjoyment of gaming. From the little snippets of information we got as a child to the over saturation of knowledge in the digital era, we plot out our thoughts on the diminishing returns of excitement. Of course Cyberpunk 2077 is discussed at length and how it failed to live up to our expectations as well. Even with such a robust topic, we still manage to sneak in our games of the week as we once again explore the world of the Button, Bash Bunch.
We're in the mood to paint our wagon, with blood...y good music. That's right it's finally time we discussed our favourite songs and music from videogames.

The gang all bring their own unique flavours to the discussion, and Dr. Bob's choice will truly shock you (spoiler, it will not shock you, it's pretty much exactly what you think he's going to pick). All this and our weekly discussion of what we've been playing this week on another episode of the Button Bash Bunch.
