Y'know, can't even remember what we talked about when we recorded this but whatever it was about we did it for over three bloody hours! Anyway, pretty sure it involved stuff about Returnal, The Division 2 and some of those questions you sent us the other month.

Don't forget to leave us a like and any feedback on here if you like this stuff because it's good for us to know if you do.

For software that can help with podcast marketing, I find Buffer to be useful. It's a social media scheduler that has a free tier but also paid options that are fairly reasonable (the $15 a month option is decent). I can schedule everything for the week in about an hour and then let it run and it posts for you. It's nice to be able to set it and forget it and not have to visit social media every day to post something outside of simple thoughts. Also allows you to easily repost older tweets or whatever which should be done on Twitter since something like only 5% of your followers see a specific tweet. Instagram ads can also work for relatively low cost. Make posts ads via the Instagram app and itll drastically increase your reach, which will result in a few more followers (who you then need to convince to listen to the show). Just some advice from a small timer! Thanks guys.

For the discussion of choosing a male or female character, I think the male voice actor for Eivor was better than his female counterpart, but that's the only example I can think of.

First time commenting and liking in 3 years because the request! It works! I do work in digital advertising for small businesses and I'm more than happy to give you guys some tips and explainers. Can message me on here or Instagram if you guys are interested.

Thanks for a great show. I look forward to the start of the month so I can hear you two have your chats. Politically I’ve found that in the last few years I’ve had to become increasingly tolerant of people’s opinions. It’s more polarised than ever with people falling one side or another with a coin toss. I wouldn’t like to lose touch with good friends or family members over their views on things if they differ from my own.

Gutted about The Sound of Play hiatus. Thanks for 300 episodes. My favourites were the composer interviews and the regular episodes with a host or two speaking between tracks.

Chris Worthington

Good work guys. Looking forward to listening 👍

Didn’t even know this like and comment thing existed on Patreon - everything just appears by magic in my Apple podcast app. But that’s no excuse to have rarely thanked you for keeping me entertained when I’m out running, so while I’m here, thank you to the whole team! I’ll never play The Division, but for some reason this month’s monthly discussion put me in mind of what must have been thousands of hours I spent playing Elite on Atari ST, so as well as some great rice cooker and Raccoons chat, I got an unexpected nostalgia fix too!

Another fantastic bonus episode, thanks guys! Your Patreon is amazing value - it provides a lot more content for a lot fewer pennies compared to some other outlets!

Thanks for the great answers to my question. It was fascinating hearing two games mentioned that were very important to me, namely Sonic and the original Tomb Raider (on the Saturn, no less!). Sonic was the most exciting thing I'd ever seen the first time I saw it and got me into gaming more seriously, and Tomb Raider was my into 3D adventure games. Much like some of the contributor answers, I fell out of touch with gaming for a few years while at uni, so a lot of games from 2005 to 2008 had no impact on my life. It was only when I bought a PS3 in the week I finished that I was drawn back in. While I got some enjoyment from the pack-in title GTA4; it was Uncharted that had the bigger impact, much like Tomb Raider all those years before.

God I love that Raccoons song.

You two always apologise for talking about politics - but these podcasts are for "off-topic" stuff and it's relaxing just to hear two people chat, don't worry :) "Mortal Kombat" the movie was my first 15 rated film when I was too young. My friend's mum called my mum to get permission. Said friend is still my friend almost three decades later but has absolutely forbidden me from checking out the film until lockdown is relaxed enough that we can watch it together. And complain the whole time cos apparently hardly any of the ladies are in it and they were our favourites when we played the games growing up.

I fell off gaming almost entirely between 2006 and 2017. It coincided with me going to uni, where I would have struggled to run a lot of games on the battered old laptop I took with me. I think there might have been some subconscious environmental influence on me as well, the idea that I should leave the games behind at that age which I might have picked up from parents or just society in general at the time. Now it seems as crazy to me as it does to Leon, since getting back into it in 2017 when I bought my PS4 it has meant so much to me and given me a hobby. It gives me challenges that aren't related to how I make a living, and actively occupies my mind and hands in a way tv simply can't replicate. I don't think the therapeutic value of that is really widely appreciated. I missed out during that decade plus away from it all, but I have enjoyed catching up (well, I've barely caught up at all on the great stuff I missed, but it's all to look forward to).

Another great bonus monthly, guys, thank you! Jay, any chance of a rice cooker unboxing video when it arrives? :D

Alex79

Enjoyed this, as always. I'd honestly keep subscribing it this was all you put out each month (but please don't stop the regular show any time soon!) Jay has mentioned comics a few times over the years, and I just wondered if he's reading anything in particular at the moment, or has any all time favorites? I'm currently making my way through Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing, and loving it.
