A quiet, reserved week this week.
After the last lively episode, the guys promised to keep it short, sweet and to the point for this episode. Which is good, because the guys have barely played anything!
A trip to London to EGX Rezzed was the high highlight for this week, with news about Borderlands 3 a close second. And while John was dipping in and out of FIFA and Far Cry 5, Brooker jumped back five years to finally play The Division.
Yeah, a quiet one this week.

Just don't ask what happened this week.
There was a plan, there was a running order, and it all went to hell when the lads started talking about Hitman 2.
Then things went completely sideways when your favourite hosts started arguing for and against all sides of the Google Stadia discussions.
It's a weird week.
Back to normal for episode 66, we promise.

"It's a new dawn, it's a new day, Anthem's feeeeeeeeeeling gooooood!"
Yeah, we couldn't waste this great little pun in an episode title.
Guessing what we focus on this week won't be tough. One game each for out hosts in this episode. John is still playing Anthem, and he takes us on a deep dive of the mechanics, the loot and the overall experience since release. While Brooker heads back to Hope County for Far Cry: New Dawn. It's a tight little episode this week.
Outside of that, the guys talk about, well, trainers, vacuum cleaners and Aldi sending gamers after your kids in time for tea?
We couldn't quite work it out either.
Come back in a couple of weeks, god only knows what we'll be talking about.
March 1, 2019
Just a fortnight after the lads vowed to not bother talking about news stuff, Reggie announces his retirement!
We couldn't let that one go past without a bit of a chat, could we?
Otherwise, it's a regular old week. John played Anthem, Brooker played Crackdown 3 and the Tangents went everywhere.

Insanity! Absolute insanity!
In an episode we were forced to record a day early, and despite Brooker's constant moans that he's never got time to play anything, the lads have a bumper episode of stuff they've played. And almost no news to talk about.
So in your super-length episode this week, the lads play Battlefield V, The Division 2 Beta (together!), Infamous: Second Son, Life is Strange, Madden's Longshot.
Like we said.
Insanity!
If we don't kill you (or bore you to death), join us again in a couple of weeks.

Here we are again, another fortnight, another episode.
Welcome to the latest Character Unlock!
This week, we are joined by our "resident" Resident Evil expert, and friend of the podcast Matt Lambourne to discuss the remade classic survival horror game. With him and Brooker going into painfully in-depth conversation, it's possible that John used the time to have a quick nap!
But fear not. John spent the weekend with the Anthem Demo and has plenty to say on the matter. Then Brooker gets nap time when John and Matt get into an impromptu, detail driven chat about Call of Duty Blackout! It's a bumper episode with a lot of great conversations for you this week.
We really should get Matt on more often.
January 18, 2019
Bungie are free from Activision, The Carlton Dance should be trademarked and your hosts both skipped out on trips to the cinema to record this week's podcast.
It's a bumper edition of nonsense this week too, as hosts John and Brooker stroll off the path for a bit and talk about M. Night Shyamalan films - of all things.
Elsewhere, John has been playing Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu and Brooker has played Resident Evils both old and new (and some more Hitman - Because of course)
January 4, 2019
New Year, same old us.
This week our hosts shoot the breeze for a bit with little news to talk about. Instead choosing to chat all things Christmas, smart tech and HMV before covering the games they've played over the Christmas break.
Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate and Assassin's Creed Odyssey lead the pack this week, with repeat visits to Hitman 2 bringing up the rear. It's a quiet, but fun, week for your hosts.
Join us again next time, but until then why not join us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

It's been a long year. An exhausting year.
So here we are with our annual end of year episode where your lovely hosts plough their way through their best, and most disappointing, games of the year.
It's been one of those years, there's loads to talk about. So your fourth favourite video game podcast drafted in regular guest Lee Loveridge to bolster our numbers for this years best games.
What'll be top of each guy's list? What'll be bottom?
Can the guys agree on anything?
Join us again next year, as we roll into 2019 hoping for bigger and better things.
Thank you for another year with us.
Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to all seven of our listeners.

After weeks of moaning and whining about the rubbish they are playing, your wonderful hosts were told off for not liking any games and being too negative.
So, we introduce you, to the Character Unlock positivity episode.
Well... Mostly.
The lads get into what is going to be absent from the now aired Game Awards before chatting about THQ Nordic's latest, slightly dodgy, acquisition.
When to comes to games, it's been a menu of great stuff. John has been attacking Red Dead online and the latest WWE 2K entry; while Brooker has nothing but great things to say about arcade platformer Huntdown and Hitman.
Come on in, and feel the power of positivity.
