The gang is all here and we start off with a chat about the Bristol Craft Beer Festival before moving on to some ‘not E3’ chat.

Mulitverses is actually out. We haven’t played it but we want to talk about it, and the various WB franchises it could contain. To jump to another established franchise Ben has been playing The Rogue Prince of Persia and discusses the basics of the first 15 minutes.

Aadil drinks the Vault City X Staggeringly Good collab, Staggeringly Stoopid, and Ben has a the big Goldilocks from Baron Brewing. Originally recorded on 30/05/24
Just Lucy and Aadil for this week. We start the chat with the differences between making craft for supermarkets, versus just ‘regularly’. Then we move onto the latest information/leaks on Valve’s latest game Deadlock, MOBAs, and live-service games in general. The perils of TV apps, and starting back up in Balatro. Lucy played Little Kitty in Big City, Animal Well, and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. Lucy had the Sundance Pale Ale from Wiper & True and then Stig Bergets x Verdant No Money, No Honey DIPA. Aadil had the First Steps Esther Beer from Ideal Day.
A packed episode, full of news and games. The team starts with the news that Ubisoft is at it again, locking already developed content behind an array of editions and purchase dates. Aadil talks about Persona 3 Reload, Lucy gives her thoughts on Cryptmaster and Crow Country and Ben gives a light review of Fabledom. Lucy is on the water so Ben and Aadil drink two beers each. Aadil has Happy Hour from Wiper and True, and Chelt Vegas from Deya. Ben has two beers from Baron’s porridge series, drinking Mummy Bear and Daddy Bear.
It’s news galore on this week’s episode, but none of it is good. The team talk about the awful news that Roll 7 and Intercept Games have been shuttered, among a reshuffle of Private Division by Take Two Interactive. This spirals into chat on capitalism, podcatcher closures, and big shiny Cybertrucks. Aadil then delivers some of the more absurd headlines of that week. The beers are, Birdie from Copperbeach Brewing Co, Atom Beers returns with Neutron Star, and and Ice Cream Sour from Yonder.
The full team is back this week to chat about Nintendo’s continued battle with the internet. Ben and Lucy review Botany Manor, and Lucy gives her thoughts on Sophia the Traveler.

A rare occurrence where we all have games to chat about! Lucy played 20 Small Mazes, which is what it says on the tin. Lucy and Aadil get distracted with Balatro and the costs of tracking information. Ben played Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles. Aadil finished The Case of the Golden Idol and all the DLCs. Lucy has Cortex, a juicy IPA collab between Atom and Junk Soul Smothered followed by Baron’s Single Hop DIPA, Long Boy. Ben has Wiper & True’s KaleiDIPA (again), and Aadil has the Ooster-festbier from Hasen-brau and Brasserie de la Senne’s Bruxellensis Brett Pale Ale
The whole crew is present, but in an inversion Aadil has played most of the games. We start with a discussion about the Kotaku resignation, prompted by managements push away from news and opinions towards 50 game guides a week. Aadil and Lucy talk a bunch about Balatro while Ben waits patiently in the wings. Aadil continues on to talk about a game Lucy brought to his attention a few episodes back Slice and Dice. And then the episode is rounded out with the back of the box quiz from Lucy. Lucy had the Sundrips Honey DIPA from Deya. Ben had the KaleiDIPA from Wiper and True, and Aadil had the more smoothie than beer Azvex’s Mana Smoothie Sour.
Lucy is freshly back from Manchester and talks to Ben about her time there visiting a bunch of different bars and breweries. She’s also played some Geometry Survivor and a little more Modern Warfare 3. Ben breaks out a big boy and drinks Puttty from Verdant whilst Lucy remembered it was Orval day.

The beers are from Stigbergets and an Arbor Ales X Emperor’s Brewery collab.
That’s it. Wrap it up. 400 episodes of nonsense. Following our current 2024 format, we discuss some news including more layoffs and some studios buying themselves and their IPs back.

Pure insanity this week. We start strong with Lucy’s thoughts on Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic, then slowly descend into madness with discussions on Contra, Space Harrier, Yu Suzuki’s back catalogue and Mario’s surname.

But he mostly played FF7 Reunion: Crisis Core.Lucy earns her title as the indie queen playing Melatonin, Letterbox, and Potion Shop. We also touched on the Vampire Survivors DLC. Then it was topic time, this week we discuss what we see/want from the industry after the COVID gap and glut of samey giant open world games. Inspired by this article: https://www.pcgamer.com/2022-was-a-warning-shot-for-the-big-budget-games-industry. As its January we have some water and some Alcohol Free beers.

Somehow we’re already at the end of 2022, so it’s time for our top picks. But first we open with a brief discussion/description of cat wanking, and then move on to our honourable mentions.

Recorded in May 2022, this podcast arrives very late due to the editor (me) being a scatterbrain. For which I can only apologise. Though delayed, I hope you enjoy listening to Francis & Lucy chat about all things Nintendo.

For the games, Ben chats a little Marvel Snap whilst Lucy is still on a point-and-click binge. She discusses The Plague Doctor of Whippra and Lucy Dreaming.

Aadil had Siren’s Totality Session IPA, Lucy had the Verdant x Weird Walk Ritual Pale Ale, and Ben had the Queen of Summer Hazy IPA from Left Handed Giant.
Lucy played 12 minutes, and things devolved into a spoiler-free discussion likening it to “The Room” of video games. Lucy and Ben have finished Stray, but graciously are waiting for Aadil to cap it off for next week’s episode. Ben has been playing Multiversus, and things naturally veer towards what characters are there, and more importantly should be. Johnny Bravo, Johnny Cage, the and no. 1 draft pick Foghorn Leghorn. Ben had a collab from Newtown Park x Lost and Grounded Belgian Pale Ale: Knowledge Divided. Lucy had Cloudwater’s Pale Ale: Super Happy. Aadil had one of the collabs that came out of White Hag’s Hagstravaganza, a dry Italian Stout made with Brewfist: Gola Secca.

Aadil, ever the timely host, interrupts the game talk for some steam deck news. Ben updates us on his PS5 queueing. We talk about spiderman, skyrim, and mods, before Aadil talks a lot about the Affogato demo.

Ben and Aadil picked up the 7th birthday Good Chemistry special beers. Ben had the Six States NEIPA. and Aadil had the Seven Goats Dobblebock.
It’s Ben and Lucy this week. Ben has been previewing Scathe, a twitchy bloody FPS. We dip back into Powerwash Simulator and Lucy has continued playing the updated Into the Breach.. It wouldn’t be Lucy and Ben if Tony Hawk wasn’t brought up, this time it was mostly about the remake. Lucy had Finding Air IPA from Little Monster x Pipeline and Ben had the Heavy Blow NEIPA from Attic Brew x New Bristol Brewery.
TUP 339 – Catting about in a cyberdystopia and other Stray details. The whole crew is together and through the somehow busy summer we’ve all only played one game. But its the much anticipated, and talked about all over the internet, play-as-a-cat-game: Stray. Ben has finished the game, and the other two are a couple hours in. A proper discussion of details, the wonders of catting around, and the shift of expectations, amongst many other things. Lucy had Mad Squirrel’s Alfonso Mango NEIPA, and Aadil had Quantock’s English Pale Ale for Flavourly Somerset Levels. Ben had a bang average instant coffee. Good pours were had… Tweet and follow us: http://twitter.com/outoflivesnet Check Out Our Website: https://www.outoflives.net Visit Us On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/outoflivesnetwork […]

Francis & Lucy see off their most productive year for Rupees episodes so far by asking themselves “But at what cost?” Did the Nintendo Indie Direct deliver anything of note? Will Babble Royale save 2022? Plus, of course, a review of the year that was for Nintendo and a top 5 games of the year from both of them. Thanks for listening and have a good 2022!
We’ve got our top 10 games of this year! As always they are the games we played this year, and maybe not all ones that came out in 2021. We start out with a quick honorable mentions, much to Ben’s timing chagrin, and then hit those juicy top 10s. Will it be a year of indies, or triple A? How much overlap do the three of us have throughout our top games? Tune in to find out! Aadil starts off with the Wrongfully Accused West Coast IPA from Cervecera Peninsula and then moves onto Nepomucen’s Triple-Double Hazy IPA, with Citra, Sabro and Azacca. Ben has Dig’s Mount Rainier New England IPA, then the Northern Monk 8th Anniversary DIPA. Lucy has […]
This week we are joined by the every lovely Adam Thomas.

We then get into the real nitty gritty with Adam’s TUP10 of the year, in games, media and beyond– prepping us all for next week’s end of the year spectacular. Ben had Good Chemistry’s Uncertainty Principle, a Weizenbock, followed up by the MMXX barley wine from the same. Aadil has the Diolch Pale Ale from Untapped and the Oatmeal Stout from Four Pure.

Ben returned back to megaquarium and is still enjoying Resi 8, while Aadil got sucked into the curse of optimisation and completion with cooking in Moonglow Bay.

Aadil updates with forza and moonglow bay, despite his claims to do otherwise last week.

Lucy has the Blonde Brummie from Birmingham Brewing Company then the single hop NEIPA Veda […]

I will cut to the chase, should you buy Doom Eternal? Yes, the game is insane. It is a love letter to the old school whilst adhering to modern conventions. The mixture results in something that feels familiar yet unique. This review will only cover the single-player portion of the game as at the time of writing the multiplayer servers are not live. That being said let’s begin. The story. This element of Doom Eternal whilst serving as a sequel to Doom 2016 is largely accessible as a stand-alone entry. The brief ties to the original work as the story opens up as a great entry point for new players but felt a little disjointed given how Doom 2016 ends. […]

Focusing on TV, as Moody covered films on the Glorious Movies Show, they touch on Star Wars Clone Wars, Deadly Class, Star Trek Discovery, Nightflyers, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and The Walking Dead. In Scott’s absence Ben took the reins for recording. If you’re watching the video maybe just ignore the bottom of the screen being replicated as all the cropping was out and caught the recording programme. Lame we know.
Once again Ben and Aadil discuss the absurdity of misogyny, this time from the beery side of the coin, relating to a South African brewery’s branding strategy. They’ve also been playing some games, coincidentally both playing puzzle games. Aadil talks Picross Luna and Ben gives his first impressions of Danger Zone 2. Aadil has a theme this week and drinks ‘Dutty’ a Vermont style IPA from Tiny Rebel and the Vermont IPA from Browar Pinta. Ben has no such theme except that it’s a warm day and drinks Ilkley Brewery’s ‘Juiced in Time’ and another Northern Powerhouse beer, the 003 – mixed fermentation farmhouse from Wylam and Black Lodge. For those that want to know more here’s the link to […]
‘This Next Act…’ returns with another cracking line-up that you won’t want to miss. Featuring some of the big names of Bristol comedy, it’s one of the few comedy nights still running over the summer so make sure you come on down!! MC: Alex Kitson Eliza Fraser Katy Pritchett Alan Flynn Sarah Alli Sally Ann Fellowes Sean Polden James O’Donoghue Dorian Wainwright
Aadil has returned from the frozen north to jump on the soap box with Ben and scream at people for a couple of hours. We discuss the Portman Groups ruling over the use of words on beer labelling, the big issue with twitter interactions in the gaming sphere and the absurdity of the power of a community. We also discuss Destiny 2, Celeste and PokeMMO all whilst drinking some beer. Ben has two from Wylam’s Northern Powerhouse series, number 004 an American Wheat with Thornbridge and number 006 a DDH Pale Ale with Hawksehead. He finishes on the ‘Deucebox’ from Four Pure. Aadil starts with a ‘Frambuzi’ raspberry sour from Tiny Rebel followed up by Electric Bear and Gipsy Hill […]
This week the boys discuss games they think are underrated and that definitely need a little more love as well as what they’ve been playing and watching recently. This includes Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Subsurface Circular, Prey (2017), Alien Isolation and Minit.
We’re back again for another night of fantastic stand-up from some absolute legends. Bring some friends and come on down to the Velindra for Bristol’s best fortnightly comedy night/good time. Line up below! Watch this space! MC: Isaac Kean Barney Iley Capriella Hooper Alex Perkes Jaro Vorobey Imogen Trusselle Pravanya Pillay Jack Butler
Thinking they’d just do a quick episode after the football Ben and Lucy kick off with a quiz. They manage to hit their stride to discuss Lucy’s recent beer adventures and Ben’s bender of a Stag weekend. Then after several own goals and both pre-recording beers and the first podcast beer they get to the games, Celeste and Agent A. They also discuss the recent news coming from Beavertown. Ben starts with the Cloudwater ‘IPL Cashmere’ and Lucy the Twisted Barrel ‘Detroit Sour City’. Ben once again has a beer from Poppels Bryggeri, the WIPA whilst Lucy drinks Patrons 11.01 ‘Made In The Dark’ from Northern Monk and Lord Whitney (Houston).
Scott, Ben and Moody managed to survive E3 2018 and in the aftermath discuss their personal highlights. There are a lot, it was a good year. Some of the games discussed are The Last of Us part 2, Ghost of Tsushima and Spider-man, Hitman 2, Tunic, Control and Sable.
We’re back at it again with another superb line-up and we’re doubly excited because we’re going to be recording it for our new podcast for the first time! Come on down and be part of history. MC: Alex Kitson Line-up: Rebekah Louise Firuz Ozari Eddie FJ Ted Milligan Rosa Handscomb Tara Pendragon Harry Pugh Celya Ab
Podcast hosts Alex & Isaac chat about their new live comedy podcast “This Next Act” with producer Aadil.
Ben and Lucy get together for a short episode today just to chat two games, Hollow Knight and Doom. Of course this spirals into other topics but as only Ben is drinking it’s a pretty tight show. Ben drinks, from To Øl, the ‘Nul’ a Zero IBU India Pale Ale
Francis and Lucy get together to discuss all the things you need to know about Nintendo’s E3 Direct for 2018. Plus they let you know about a few other things that they enjoyed from the show as a whole.
Ben and Lucy return to discuss their highs of E3 and the games they’ve been finding time for at this super busy time of year. Lucy has a few games to chat through in Hollow Knight, Shape of the World and Yoku’s Island Express. Ben’s only found time for one game, Xcom 2. They move on to talk through their favourite games and moments from this years E3 conferences. We started with 2 beers each but quickly found a third with our extended E3 chatter. Ben starts with the Two Tribes ‘Material World’ APA, has the Poppels Bryggeri ‘West Coast IPA’ then reaches for the only beer left on his shelf the Verdent and Cloudwater collab Swifts and Swallows DIPA. […]
Lucy, Ben and Dafydd get together to discuss the PlayStation E3 2018 Conference highs and lows and give their take on what we’ve seen. Discussed – The conference format, The Last of Us part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Spider-Man, Control, Resident Evil 2 and Nioh 2
Scott and Moody talk about their personal highlights and a few low points of Microsoft’s 2018 media briefing.

Aadil, Lucy and Ben take on the Cannonball Run. Three big beers from Magic Rock, Human Cannonball DIPA, Neo-Human Cannonball NE DIPA and the Un-Human Cannonball Triple IPA, are drank and spoken about at length. But that’s not all. We have a huge E3 show, where predictions and wants are discussed as well as chat about the leaks and reveals so far. It’s a big one this week.
Ben and Dave revive PlayStation Forecast, or Out of the X Fire, which ever you prefer to catch up and discuss the upcoming Playstation E3 conference. They give their thoughts on PlayStation’s format for this year, what’s being revealed before the actual conference and their predictions on what we’ll see.
Scott, Ben and Moody join forces and rise like a phoenix to bring you a new, different version of the outoflives podcast. Now in video! Each week the hosts will dive deep into certain topics and open the forum to the ollniverse. Things will change. This is but the beginning of something with no destination and we ask you travel with us on this journey, until we run out of lives! For our inaugural episode we each discuss the games, movies and TV shows which have influenced us through the years in our ‘Know Your Hosts’ show. There are too many influences to list but we all agree Daniel Day-Lewis is the best.
We have a big discussion around the new short, narrative experience from Bithell Studio, ‘Quarantine Circular’. It then does well at creeping its way into almost everything else we discuss this week. Lucy also chats Shift Quantum, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon and Castlevania whilst Ben’s been battling against Mass Effect: Andromeda. They both have two beers this week. Ben starts with the Pressure Drop and Verdant collab ‘The Experiment Requires That You Continue’ DDH NEIPA and moves onto a Cloudwater special release DIPA v3.1. Lucy has two Milkshakes from Unbarred Brewery, the Milkshake IPA and the Honeycomb Milkshake Pale.
The internet is all up in arms about the inclusion of a woman, a woman! in the new World War 2 set Battlefield V. We dig out the internet for it’s absurdity. We’ve also got games. Ben’s played ‘What Remains of Edith Finch’, Aadil’s played ‘Knights of Pen and Paper +1 edition’ and Lucy gives us an Indie lightning round which includes ‘A Case of Distrust’, ‘Homo Machina’ and ‘The Adventures of Elena Temple’. To drink Lucy has two beers from Dark Revolution including ‘So:LA’ and ‘Supersonic’. Aadil sinks the Partizan ‘Rowen Tree’ and the Plain Porter from Porterhouse. Ben has the ‘Liquid Sex Robot’ from Lervig and ‘The Great Cornholio’ from Tiny Rebel.
Francis, Lucy & Andy look forward to what may (or may not) be shown off by Nintendo at E3 2018 which is a only a few weeks away! Do you want to know the lay of the land? Would you like to here some baseless speculation? Then you are in the right place!
This week our heroes continued to record their nonsense after episode 118, they all just wanted one more beer. Ben and Aadil drink an ‘Illicium’ Imperial Milkshake IPA from Wander Beyond whilst Lucy has a ‘Green Eyed Monster’ Northern Monk Patrons 6.05 which is gluten free. We talk Willem Dafoe, games, movies, sexiness, saxiness, sex scenes, being desensitised, emotional moments, Overwatch porn, Theodore Rex, James Remar, the worst TV shows and much more.
Ben, Aadil and Lucy start this episode half cut, Lucy’s been to a Siren craft beer tap takeover whilst Ben and Aadil have been drinking and playing the Nintendo Switch. They continue on their quest, through the episode, to drink as much as they can. There are plenty of games to discuss and beers to drink. We touch on Mario Kart 8, Sonic Mania, Golf Story, Homo Machina, God of War, Garage, Everything, Beyond: Two Souls, Detroit: Become Human demo, Heavy Rain and Genital Jousting. We drink beers from Siren craft beer, Moor, Oscar Blues, Northern Monk and Black Iris Brewery.
Ben and Lucy are back to drink and chat about video games. Lucy isn’t feeling great so she hasn’t got a beer tonight and sticks to the water. Ben however makes up for it and smashes back a Kokomo Weekday IPA from our friends at Good Chemistry Brewing. We have another episode where we dive into one game. That game is Uncharted: Lost Legacy.
Ben and Lucy get into God of War to give their thoughts after both smashing through it. They discuss what they liked, what they didn’t and what they think may be in store for future instalments. We drink, of course. Ben starts with a ‘DOPA’ from Unbarred Brewery and follows with Loka Polly ‘El Dorado Mosaic IPA’. Lucy decides to drink two stouts the Belching Beaver ‘Beavers Milk Stout Nitro’ and a ‘Leann Follain’ Extra Irish Stout’ from O’Hara’s.
Aadil’s back and we have guests for a big episode. Joining Ben and Aadil are Sean Walton and David Towsey from Pillbug Interactive makers of Cycle 28 (which you’ve heard Ben rant about before). We take a deep dive into the game and what went into making it. We also chat about Pillbug and a little of what’s to come from them. All this and several choice beers. Sean and Dave share a beer from Flavourly, brewed with Bad Co, it’s the ‘Endless River’ golden IPA. Aadil sinks the Arbor ‘Gingerly Pale Ale’ and moves to the White Hag ‘Bran & Sceolan’ irish IPA. Ben starts with the ‘Bristol Crush’ pale ale from Wiper & True and finishes with the […]
Once again Ben and Lucy delve into the world of video games whilst supping some excellent beers. We start with some beer chat, tax breaks and the price of a pint. Ben’s played the first add-on for Assassin’s Creed Origins ‘The Hidden One’s’. Lucy has sunk some time into the strategic graffiti mobile puzzler ‘Vandals’. We end with another game Ben has played ‘Doki Doki Literature Club’ and discuss games that have unsettled us or made us feel awful. We drink some fantastic beers on a warm day. Lucy has a Deya, they’ve some new cans! It’s the ‘Invoice me for the microphone’ IPA. Ben starts with a big boy, a ‘Mind Control’ Double IPA from Magic Rock. Lucy follows […]
We’ve a couple of smaller titles to talk about today. Ben’s played the mobile puzzle game ‘Umiro’ and Lucy’s playing something similar called ‘Sally’s Law’. We finish the episode with a discussion on our favourite games from the year so far. Lucy drinks two stouts to reflect her mood and has a Northern Monk ‘Sticky Toffee Stranik’ Russian imperial stout and a Magic Rock ‘De Mole’ imperial stout. Ben has two collaborations and it appears like we’ve synced up perfectly. He has the ‘Noise Pollution’ sour IPA from Left Handed Giant / Northern Monk and the Verdant / Magic Rock ‘We’ve Met Before’ IPA.
Game Informer (.com) has the inside scoop on Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man (PS4) game. So naturally, Adam & Alfred felt compelled to discuss it at length. Alfred finally watched Iron Man 3, so we find out his thoughts at last. We discuss Music Mixing, what we’ve been doing, the Far Cry series and more! Like, Share & Review the podcast if you enjoy it! Email: rattleonpod@gmail.com Twitter: @RattleOnPod
Ben and Lucy are here to drink and discuss their love for the new release Minit, where you die every 60 seconds. There’s chat of the co-op game A Way Out too and it’s Lucy who’s been playing it! We finish on the news of Spider-man getting a date and Ben gives his initial thought on The Red Strings Club, which Lucy has already played and talked about. It’s, by chance, a London beer episode dominated by Brew By Numbers. Lucy has two from them with the 07|07 Witbier – orange and a 55|07 DIPA – grape. Ben starts with the Gipsy Hill ‘Roamer’ session IPA then joins the BBNo band wagon with the 42|02 DDH Pale Ale – Number […]

Go here if you haven’t seen the advert: https://news.sky.com/story/heineken-advert-branded-terribly-racist-over-lighter-is-better-tagline-11307349 Ben drinks a Lost and Found ‘Fomosaic’ APA and the ‘Double Chin Double Neck Oil’ from Beavertown whilst Lucy doubles up on Cloudwater with the DIPA Enigma and DIPA Citra Enigma.
Episode 19 of the Rattle On Podcast see’s Alfred return, although he doesn’t really want to talk about how his week has been (No prizes for guessing why). We chat about Sea of Thieves, God of War, Sony’s 1st party record on PS4 and about the use of the camera in video games and film making.

Still missing Alfred; Adam & Special Guest Mr Moody (of the Glorious Movie Show) soldier on. Topics discussed include, Adam kicking an unhealthy habit, Moody’s top and bottom 3 MCU films, the Infinity War trailer and of course, the podcast wouldn’t be complete without a few laughs along the way.
This week, Adam is NOT joined by Alfred on the podcast. Who could possibly step into his shoes you ask? Well, Mr Moody of the Glorious Movie Show takes on the task. Topics discussed include Ready Player One, Jessica Jones, Jurassic World: Evolution and of course the expected bit of banter.
It’s a Ben and Lucy WillSmithisode so they have a chat about Wolfenstein 2, one of Lucy’s favourite games from 2017 and the one Ben’s been putting his time into. Lucy’s played a really long game on Switch (probably whilst she was on the toilet) called Never Stop Sneaking, a top down stealth game. There’s also a phone ringing in the background, don’t worry about it, it probably wasn’t related to the discussion of a spy game. More importantly, or perhaps equally as important dependent on your interests, are the beers. Lucy continues this week with Gypsy Hill and tries their ‘Beatnik’ Pale Ale whilst Ben begins with the ‘I Rate Saison’ from Brasserie De La Senne and Melissa Cole. […]
Continuing on from last episode, Alfred & Adam chat about using guides with games and Alfred continues his panicking. Twitter: @RattleOnPod Email: rattleonpod@gmail.com This episode was recorded on 09/03/2018

We’ve all played Games, the funk has been kicked. Aadil has finally jumped into ‘Mario Odyssey’ which leads to a brief discussion on cheat codes. Lucy’s been getting a puzzle kick in ‘Q.U.B.E 2’. The game to help Ben kick the funk is the arcade space shooter ‘Cycle 28’. Lucy’s also played a point and click adventure ‘Chuchel’ and Aadil’s actually spent most of the time he should be working playing ‘Into The Breach’, a tactics puzzle game, instead. Ben felt left out when everyone else had White IPAs so he’s got the ‘Drift’ from Unity, then has the Finzel’s Reach from Left Handed Giant. Lucy starts with a big on in the ‘Mexicake’ Imperial Stout by Tempest and a […]

Aadil returns to join Ben and Lucy in a full on roast of Brewdog, a chat about Tacoma, some extra thoughts on Zenge and a thorough discussion on violence and video games. Ben drinks the ‘Huddle’ Pale Ale from Verdent and ‘Glory’ Triple IPA from Northern Monk. Aadil has the ‘Cardinal Wolf’ Belgian DIPA from Weird Beard and Tiny Rebel and a Van Vollenhoven Extra Stout. Lucy stays on brand with the Tiny Rebel and Fierce ‘Orange Mocha Frapp Stout’ and the ‘Digeridank’ from Tiny Rebel and Siren.
Ben and Lucy have some beers on this cold and frigid night and discuss what they’ve been playing. Ben’s played two games which are almost the opposite of each other in ‘Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy’ and ‘Rime’. Lucy got back into her episodic sleuth persona and played Orwell: Ignorance is Strength. Lucy drinks starts with Gun Dog Ales ‘Scrum Dog’ and finishes with the coffee porter ‘Uppa Hela Natten’ from Marble. Ben’s gone Irish for the episode with a ‘Bran & Sceolan’ Irish IPA from The White Hag and the ‘Plain Porter’ from Porterhouse brewing.
This week the boys sit down to discuss Marvel’s smash hit Black Panther, and the recent Netflix show Altered Carbon. That’s about it… What do you want from us? Twitter: @RattleOnPod Email: rattleonpod@gmail.com
Lucy, Aadil and Ben are casual gamers. It’s true, don’t try to defend them. Ben hates games and only likes casual educational experiences like the Assassin’s Creed: Origins Discovery mode. Aadil hasn’t touched a game in months but has been poking Zenge a mobile game, a mobile game! Uhh casual. Lucy’s even worse, she’s played two mobile games, two! Florence, which she really enjoyed and The Room: Old Sins, which she also enjoyed. So, beers. Aadil drinks Weird Beard ‘Epsomania 17’ and, from Birmingham Brewing the ‘Confused Brummie’ white stout. Ben drinks the ‘Level Up: American Red’ from Elusive Brewing and, from Plato, the ‘Salish Sea’ IPA. Lucy has another Sour IPA, so casual, from Buxton and Lervig, the ‘Trolltunga’ […]
