Dear Jim, please could you fix it for me to allow our listeners to enjoy an hour of serious discussion and frivolity where we look at whether ripping the multiplayer aspect from games such as BioShock Infinite and Metro: Last Light is a good thing.  We’d also like to discuss the unprofessional comment (here, page 7) from C&VG’s Associate Editor, Rob Crossley, and how it sparked a flurry of tweets by freelancer Rich Stanton on industry corruption, oh and it may be an idea to pit Chris and Mark against each other by having them fight over whether Dishonored is actually a good game or not.  If you like, Mr Saville, we can also have them wear nothing but thongs and wrestle in sherbet.
Yours insincerely, GamingLives aged 2 3/4

In addition to the topical treats, we have our new regular features: ‘The Letters‘ and ‘Lines‘. No, The Letters aren’t the usual collection of abuse, nudey reader pictures, and outraged views on review scores, but, rather, a range of gaming-related topics based on a chosen letter. This week, the GL Podcast is brought to you with the letter E and the number 69 (what else?). As for Lines, well, it is in no way pilfered and adapted from a popular BBC2 panel show, which pilfered it from a popular CH4 panel show, and in no way involves a quickfire round of snappy lines, based around a given topic. This week, it’s ‘lines you wouldn’t hear in an Elder Scrolls game’.

We chat, we laugh, we almost incite a world war over Skype by allowing Mark to slag off Chris’ new mistress, Dishonored, and we manage once again to avoid a law suit.

I Loved You In Wall Street
(aka “The one where we get sued and never make another”)

Take your protein pills and put your helmets on, folks, because the GamingLives podcast, after being lost in cyberspace for almost a year, is back.  With a vengeance.  In our new and improved, no singing, no dancing podcast, we discuss a range of topics, such as ‘Where the hell is the next generation’ and ‘do we care?’, the upcoming cluster-fuck of game releases, and the controversial Wall Street Journal review of Borderlands 2.

In addition to the topical treats, we introduce two new regular features: ‘The Letters‘ and ‘Lines‘.  No, The Letters aren’t the usual collection of abuse, nudey reader pictures, and outraged views on review scores, but, rather, a range of gaming-related topics based on a chosen letter.  This week, the GL Podcast is brought to you with the letter B and the number 69 (what else?).  As for Lines, well, it is in no way pilfered and adapted from a popular BBC2 panel show, which pilfered it from a popular CH4 panel show, and in no way involves a quickfire round of snappy lines, based around a given topic.  This week, it’s ‘lines you wouldn’t hear at a Nintendo console launch’.

We chat, we laugh, we make Ed nearly cry by dissing Nintendo.  Start as you mean to go on, and all that.
