Ross and Tom return to introduce Sick Kids Save Point 7 in a pubcast designed to showcase their wandering minds and belligerence.
They talk up the charity, wander onto No Man’s Sky and get carried away catching Pokemon, while recognising they are a dying breed of gamer. Why not? Games are for everyone, after all…
Join Ross and Tom for a belated draw for Sick Kids Save Point 2015. Find out if you won a prize!
Two men enter one man leaves, then another one takes his place. Cam and Ross run the show from the heart of Leith with accompanying sound track from the local wildlife while Tom goes off to be IN a show. We chat excitedly about us attending DARE Protoplay 2015 in Dundee, BATTLE HIGH 2, the enduring legacy of TEAM 17’s WORMS, RARE Replay, and more about DARE. Did I mention that we’ll be at DARE? Also….DARE.
Cam and Tom host a short and sweet episode in which archaic notions such as Windows 95, CD Roms and libraries made out of bricks and mortar are discussed, along with reactions to MICROSOFT apparently conceding Japan, PLAYSTATION NOW impressions, FMV game HER STORY and Tom gets super animated on rpg/pinball hybrid ROLLERS OF THE REALM.
Oh and we bring exciting news of this year’s DARE PROTOPLAY festival.
All this and more in under 40 minutes…
The podcast that took us a week to record!
We discuss Nolan North and the Last of Us 2 reveal and some live action ‘locked room’ gaming - not as rude as it sounds! Then after a week’s break[!] we dig into Last Of Us Left Behind and Castle Panic - the Wizard’s Tower Nurse Cam gives top safety tips for those undertaking a 24 hour gaming maarathon and we get tongue tied over DUOLINGO apologies for the poor sound from Cam’s track - we’re working on it
It’s a Father’s day podcast recording and we chat up all things E3, including but not limited to FALLOUT 4, HORIZON, new tech from Microsoft and new IP from EA. We have our TGIWTTA (aka tiggywitta) games plus the usual banter and the ever present MINECRAFT mention.
On Episode 21 Cam and Ross attempt to steer the good ship SKSP without regular helmsman Tom. We talk about E3 rumours, CODE CLUB, PAPERS PLEASE, NEVER ALONE and much more.
Could this be our most nerdy podcast ever? We talk technical spec of OCULUS RIFT, photography of NO MEAN SKY, text-based adventures with FALLEN LONDON, combat systems with TRANSISTOR and the morality of the WITCHER 3 - Wild Hunt. WE also mention SKYRIM a few times, and reference a ton of other geeky stuff. Enjoy!
We get deeper into the world of Bloodborne, explore Dying Light and run the Shadows with the Shadowrun expansion. It’s a whole world of darkness chummer. Plus banter and chat, it’s not all dark!
Ross returns to the SKSP Podcast. We get all nostalgic over Toejam & Earl, chat up Bloodborne, Minecraft and more.
The Sick Kids Save Point team consider what individual challenges they could set during this year’s charity gaming marathon.

IN the words of Star Fox ‘good luck’!
In this monster episode we go from Timesplitters to the Last of Us, and back again, via the Commodore 64, the arcades, the 32 and 64 bit eras. It’s tough when you have to plan for 24 hours of non-stop games!
We also reveal news from Edinburgh’s Tigerface games, some controversy surrounding the Ouya, and get hands on with Ludometrics’ Gridlock.
We sound the 6 week Klaxon and look to the 8-bit and 16-bit sections of Ross’ sksp challenge with misty eyes.
