We The Players
A podcast dedicated to the world of video games, featuring content from our amazing website users, general observations and much randomness.
In this episode of the We The Players podcast, Paul and James talk about some of the games that they have been playing recently. Both of them have devoted time into creating a crazy cult of cute animals in 'Cult of the Lamb', while James has also devoted time into some cute Indie title off the game pass.
Paul also managed to get his Steam Deck, will he keep it or sell it?
Welcome to Season 3 of We The Players! This week James and Paul take a look at all things cool announced at Gamescon 2022. Discuss whether feeding poop to a follower is the best way to grow a cult and why is the Saint's Row reboot being so universally panned.
Oh, and we still don't have a tangent button!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 11 of the We The Players podcast. Due to a lot of other commitments and vacations, we've been on a little bit of a hiatus but are back for another week with some gaming news, reviews and commentary.
This week we discuss some games we have been playing, such as V Rising and The Quarry.
Discuss the news from some of the "state of plays" and announcements reccently.
Another one this week, following the upload debacle of last week. Today we discuss some of the games we have been playing - Lego Star Wars and Core Keeper, then move on to how things have changed (for the better) in terms of ease of playing games.
In this episode we have no prior idea as to what we're going to talk about, so rabble on about all things gaming.
Eventually we'll learn what to write in this, maybe in series 3 we'll have this all down to a tee, but we'll see...
This week we take a look back at the Game Baftas and discuss some of the winners of the evening such as It Takes Two, Returnal, and Ratchet & Clank: A Rift In Time.
There have also been some big acquisitions and investments recently, including Sony and Lego giving Epic Games $1billion each to assist in the creation of their metaverse.
Hello everyone and welcome to another We The Players podcast.
In this episode James and I talk about what we've been playing this week, which entails some more Vampire Survivors, Elden Ring and some PGA 2K21. Before discussing some of the big news of the week.
Nvidia released the RTX 3090TI, a behemoth of a card with and even more gargantuan power draw.
Return to Monkey Island was first teased by Ron Gilbert on 1st April so people had initially dismissed it as an April fools joke. This was later proven to be true with the release of an actual teaser trailer.
Finally, PlayStation has announced three tiers of PlayStation Plus to try and compete with the Xbox Game Pass.
This week we attempt our luck once again at filming the podcast. We think we may have done it, so you should be able to find us over on YouTube as well.
Game photography is now becoming more and more mainstream, with the latest generation consoles all featuring a share button on the controllers and many games now featuring dedicated photo modes. We discuss where we are at the moment and where we're looking to go in the future.
We also discuss surprise or viral hits. Games that have seemingly sprung out of nowhere to become massive sellers. Are they a fad or will they forever hold a place in our hearts.

For this episode, James and I decided to try and film it - failing dismally. The camera overheat and the light failed, but we carried on regardless.
This week we get to quiz each other on gaming trivia, failing dismally. We discuss our favourite game of the moment - Elden Ring and discuss Speed Running in Video Games.
This week we talk about Elden Ring and open world games in general. What works, what doesn't, and why Elden Ring is not necessarily game of the year. With a bit on the lost art of the Movie Tie-In and the relative merits of game to movie adaptations to follow.
Is cheating in Video Games ever acceptable? We discuss whether it's okay to cheat in a video game, both multi player and single player. We look at the impact of games going to a purely digital format in the future and the effect it has on how we will own our games going forwards.
As James has unfortunately come down with COVID, we've been forced to go outside our comfort zone and try and record the podcast remotely. We see if it's possible and wonder how it's going to turn out.
This week we talk games that have been released, the importance of story and much more.
After a holiday hiatus as Paul recovered from illness, we return for what we are calling the second season. This episode we wing it, talking about what we have been playing over the last couple of months, the games we are looking forward to going into Feb 2022 and the numerous acquisitions that are currently happening within the gaming sphere.
We hope that you will continue to support us as we move forward into 2022, hopefully getting better each episode.
This week James and Paul discuss the Unreal Engine 5 Tech demo that has just released on the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5, the intricacies of the Remake/Remaster video game and how Original Soundtracks impact us and the way we play.
At the beginning of the episode is a quick montage of game music, can you recognise them all?
This week Paul and James take a look at some of the gifts that are around for the gamer in your life. Ranging from the cheap to the very expensive. After that, the topic turns to the games that have had an impact on our lives. Finally, the Game of The Year Awards have just happened and the discussion falls on their picks for some of the subjects.
In this weeks episode, Paul and James reflect on some of the feedback they have received in regards to the podcast. We look at what we want to do in the future and take up some of the suggestions from our listeners:
- What 10 games would we take to a desert island (with power, computers but no internet)?
- What games would we recommend for people with less time? Pick up and play games?
- The argument Xbox vs Playstation - the battle rages on.
26 November 2021 - They're still finding their feet in the podcast world, but this week James and Paul discuss their favourite gaming hardware and games from their lives. James concentrates mostly on his history, looking at hardware such as the Atari 800XL and games such as Chuckie Egg, while Paul goes a bit more modern with the Elgato Stream Deck and the Forza series.
We'd love to know what your favourite game titles are so throw them into a collection on the website, wetheplayers.com, and we'll make mention of them in a future episode.
WelcomeIn the first episode of the We The Players podcast we talk a little about how we got into video games and what we're currently into. We talk a little about the website and just prepare ourselves for what it's like to record a podcast in the future.
AboutYour hosts for this episode are Paul (TokenGeek) and James (Bombjack), both of which can be found over on the website under the same tags. Both of us are gamers in our 40's who grew up immersed within the video game world. We're totally rubbish at Podcasts, but thought we'd give it a go anyway, as why not!
