Here's three minutes of zero-context conversation from our next episode: Controllers Down: What Defined Gaming in 2024 - Part One

In this first part of an (almost) five hour long conversation, we explore our gaming experiences from 2024 with guests Alyxa and Matthew Bliss. This part of the conversation centres on our top three games of the year, with Alyxa reminiscing about the nostalgia of Persona 3 Portable, while Matthew highlights narrative-driven games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and The Last of Us Part 1. We discuss the joy of revisiting older games, contrasting their accessibility with the frustrations of modern titles

There's only one way to find out: listen to the show. DO EEET NAAOOOOW!

Ever find yourself wanting to dive into a conversation about games that doesn't take itself too seriously? That's the space Arrggh! A Video Game Podcast from The Waffling Taylors happily occupies. Hosted by brothers Jay and Squidge-the latter's exact species (cartoon wolf?) is a running mystery-this show is a genuine, often hilarious chat between siblings who love this medium. Their discussions effortlessly bounce from deep dives on retro classics and brand-new releases to the often-baffling world of video game film adaptations. While the core of the podcast is their easy-going dynamic, they regularly bring on fantastic guests, including genuine legends from game development, which adds layers of insight you won't find elsewhere. One moment you might be parsing the lore of a beloved franchise, and the next you're deep in a light-hearted tangent about something completely unrelated, and that's the charm. It feels less like a formal production and more like you're hanging out with friends who happen to know a ridiculous amount about pixels and polygons. If you're after a mix of informed commentary, nostalgic warmth, and unscripted silliness, this podcast from The Waffling Taylors has you covered.
