Stranding someone on a desert island and making them choose stuff...nah, this hasn't been done before! Here's to being original, now onwards to glory or mediocrity!
One guest...three games that have mattered to them during the course of their life...one game that scarred them (to burn for warmth), and one gaming character companion to share long moonlit walks along the beach and the occasional cuddle (for heat people, for heat).
It could be WEIRD, it could be WILD, and it WILL have crappy sound quality, but, at least it will be short!
To the island!

The first visit to the drive-in and we are joined by Chloe. She chooses three great films for the desert island, one bad bad bad film to be burnt for heat and a big-screen character as companion. Episode one delivers scrapping, dancing, screaming and vamping. Just another evening at the drive-in!

We are joined on the island by Jorge Gopcevic, developer of the awesome retro-fuelled space shooter, Astrozombies, direct from Buenos Aires! Behold the power of Zoom! On the show we talk games old and new, some genuine classics are taken to the island and an absolute shocker featuring an iconic character is burnt for heat. We also discuss the journey Jorge has taken in seeing his game blossom from idea to reality. Just another day on the island!

Rachel lands upon the sands of the desert island to choose some film goodness and a little of the badness. In this episode, we talk a Tarantino bloodbath, we sing with Mr. Jackman, we show Leo DiCaprio some love, and a controversial British comedy classic is tossed to the flames. Hey, she has to stay warm. To the Drive-In!

In this episode, the talk is of how we can save Animal Crossing: New Horizons from a future of beige-walled boredom, before moving on to state how old gamers will never hang up the controller, or joypad, or if you're really old, joystick. To the campfire!

Join us around the island campfire for our new monthly outing. Two tales with feet firmly in the video game realm are spun into the night sky. In episode one, we hear about a midnight launch to forget and what sits at the root of the console wars. Hear the crackle of flame, the rumble of thunder and the tumbling rain as we watch wisps of campfire tales carry on the breeze. Or something like that. Just another evening on the island.
