Indie Game Ravers

Mr Moody and Ben get together to discuss the recent boxing bout between KSI and Logan Paul which was streamed as a PPV on YouTube. They discuss their initial thoughts on it, what it means for YouTube and the boxers, and CM Punk’s move to UFC and what this could mean for Logan Paul. They also talk about what it may have done for YouTube and the sport of boxing and finish on YouTube Vs Twitch and illegal viewing. A final shout out goes to Simon Miller who in a ‘similar’ move has begun a career in wrestling over at Defiant Wrestling.

Ben and Lucy have something positive to say about Brewdog (positive at least for them) to start the show off with this week. Talk quickly moves away from bar revenues to video games and starts with Reigns: Game of Thrones announcement. We move to Lucy who starts with her first impressions of Guacamelee 2 then onto the games she’s been bouncing off of including Shadowgate, Prince of Persia and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Ben takes up the mantle of playing a more recent release in Moonlighter but has also started Mafia 3 which leads to a discussion on social and political issues. They finish with a little reminiscing on older games. Ben starts the episode with the ‘Moormont’, a […]

Apologies for the delay here’s episode 4, from a few week’s back. MC: Isaac Kean Line-up: Sal Drummond Charlie Hunt Lisa Valentine Alice O’Brien Mark Long Liam Harris Dan Squire Jo Frank

Ben and Lucy share a few lunch time beers today and discuss what they’ve been playing. Lucy continues her run of games on the Switch whilst Ben has been a super casual and played a few mobile games. The games discussed are Hidden My Game By Mom 3, Flipping Death, Alto’s Odyssey, Dead Cells, Super Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and a few thoughts on backwards compatibility. Lucy drinks both the Unity x Beer52 collaboration Belgian IPA and the El Gingero from Magic Rock. Ben has Orange Velvet from Lervig and a Track x Cloudwater collaboration I’m Not Like Everyone Else.

Lucy is back, hooray! But because of an injured arm is off the beer this week. She does make up for it in a ton of games to talk about. Aadil’s also been playing games and both of them have enough to make up for Ben’s lack of game time since the last episode. Games discussed are The Long Reach, The Crew 2, Wildlands, Driver, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, Bomb Chicken, Semblance, Owlboy, Guns Galore and Canolli 2, Cycle 28, Axiom Verge, Firewatch and a big finish on Jurassic Park Evolution. Ben and Aadil drink having beers from Magic Rock, Ridgeside, Mad Squirrel and New Bristol Brewery.

Ben and Aadil get into a lot this week. Starting with an update on Picross Luna they move quickly into open world discussions talking The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption, Wildlands, The Division and The Crew 2. Ben chats around the feel of The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit which leads to talk on Life is Strange, Telltale’s The Walking Dead and Steam coupons and they finish with Aadil’s take on Lego City Undercover, Lego games, 80s procedural TV shows, modern serialisation, Quantum Leap being the missing link and the return of Jean-Luc Picard. Beer is drank. Aadil has the ‘Easy Peeler’ from Four Pure and the ‘Triple Fruited Gose’ from North Brewing. Ben starts with Pressure Drop’s ‘Parachute’ and […]

Scott’s off on assignment this week so it’s up to Ben and Mr Moody to steer this old, old wooden ship. They discuss their top picks from this years San Diego Comic Convention. 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.

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.

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.
