Digitally Uploaded

Howdy peeps, and welcome to the March edition of the Digitally Uploaded podcast! We've got some great stuff to chat through this month so kick back and enjoy the 2-hour ride!

First, we run through all the stuff releasing in the month ahead (it's a staggering line-up of games). Then we talk about Elden Ring - a game that is surely going to be turning heads for many years to come (and with good reason). Finally, we talk about spoiler culture, and just how much our obsession with spoilers is letting the art form down.

Enjoy the show, let us know what you think, and we'll see you next month for more!

Welcome to the February edition of the Digitally Uploaded podcast!

This month we have one thing on our minds: Pokémon! With the first brand new Pokémon title in quite some time - Arceus - landing on our doorsteps, we've been playing it like mad because this is an absolute return to form for the series. And so we have focused the podcast on this topic.

Not only do we chat about Arceus itself, but how Game Freak is managing the property, our own history with Pokémon, and what we might see from the series going forwards.

Finally, Happy Lunar New Year! It's the year of the Tiger and we hope it's a good one for all our friends that celebrate this wonderful day in many Asian calendars.

We're back for 2022! And we've got a great podcast to kick things off!

This week, we're chatting about emulation consoles - what they are, why they're great, and what we can expect from them in 2022. When it comes to archiving and accessing the otherwise lost games of yesteryear, emulation consoles are worth their weight in gold.

We also chat about digital board games - what we like to play and why we like them.

Thanks for tuning in, and let's have a great 2022!

It's our special end of year extravaganza! A two-hour-long epic podcast in which we chat about the year that was, the games we loved, and then look forward to 2022 and everything that is on the horizon there. What a year it has been for gaming, and what a year it is likely to be.

Thank you to everyone that has tuned in over the year - it has been a joy as always to have you, and we can't wait to catch back up with you in the New Year. In the meantime, do let us know what you loved from 2021, how you felt the year went overall for gaming, and what you're looking forward to in 2022!

Have a great December and Christmas holiday season, everyone!

We have a very Nintendo-focused podcast this month. With new Pokémon titles out this month (or, at least, remakes of Pokémon titles), we have a good chat about those games, and the broader Pokémon experience - where are things at with the series, and what has made it so enduring?

And then we have a good chat about our big DDNet multiplayer session. With the Nintendo 64 collection landing on Switch this month, the team sat down to experience some classic split-screen multiplayer, and we had an absolute ball. As it turns out, Nintendo 64 games have held up as a multiplayer experience better than anyone might have expected - and they run well on Switch!

Finally, we talk about the games coming out in November. On the Switch, especially, it's an incredible month for releases.

Thanks as always for tuning in and let us know your own thoughts!

We have a very different topic for discussion this month, but I promise you it's an interesting one! The use of islands in games can range from the very, very large to the very, very small. But what do "islands" mean to video games, and what does it look like when it's done well?

We also take a look at the rest of the game releases this month - it's a jam-packed latter half indeed! Be sure to let us know what you'll be playing.

Thanks as always for tuning in!

The PlayStation 2 is one of the greatest consoles of all time, and its contribution to gaming should be remembered. We've been in a nostalgic mood in recent months, so we decided to bust out our favourite PlayStation 2 games to talk about the console - there were a lot of great games on that machine that are coming dangerously close to being forgotten.

We also chat about one of the greats in video games (Goichi Suda), whom many of us discovered for his PS2 masterpiece - Killer7 - and has an awesome new game out in No More Heroes III.

Finally, as always, we talk about the highlight big releases for the next month. If you like playing games brace yourself, because September is a big 'un.

let us know your own thoughts, thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you next time!

Welcome to the August podcast!

This month our focus is on remakes, remasters, and re-releases. What makes a good remake, when is a remaster the better choice, or should developers respect the original? We get a lot of re-things these days, and the relationship between the original and the new is an important discussion to have in the context of games as an art form, so we have an in-depth chat about that this week.

As well as that, we chat about all the games coming out in August, and share some of our picks for the month.

Hello folks! We've got a special themed episode for you this month - it's all about Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (GBA).

The GBA turned 20 in Australia this June, and to this day remains one of the consoles that we remember fondly. It had a seemingly endless stream of excellent JRPGs, introduced us to some of our favourite properties (Fire Emblem, anyone?), and in many cases, was the first games console that we had, or took seriously.

So in this nearly 2-hour special podcast we spend most of it talking about the GBA - what we loved, what we missed, and why we'd love to see Nintendo actually bring it back in some form.

In addition to that we do run through all the games you'll be playing in July - there's a lot of them coming.

Thanks as always for tuning in!

We have a special themed podcast episode this episode! With special guest, Jay from JayRPG, we talk on for over an hour and a half about JRPGs - what we love about them, what we're looking forward to from the genre this year, and we take a deep dive into Dragon Quest.

JRPGs have always been central to the Japanese games industry, and they're going through a real high at the moment, winning new audiences and finding new voices. In this podcast episode, we explore some of what makes them so special to us.
