Pure insanity this week. We start strong with Lucy’s thoughts on Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic, then slowly descend into madness with discussions on Contra, Space Harrier, Yu Suzuki’s back catalogue and Mario’s surname. All of this is caused by Aadil’s beer, the Umibozu from Tartarus. Lucy’s beer is and isn’t game related have Track’s Sea of Stars, and Ben just sits in Bristol with Party Wave from Bristol Beer Factory. Episode originally recorded on 26/10/23.

This week Ben discusses Dead Space-a-like The Callisto Protocol, and the games he’s been playing demos of in the latest Steam Next Fest. Aadil goes back a few years to talk about the 2015 game, Tengami.

Who doesn’t feel the call of duty at midnight? Us actually, because we’re old. This week Lucy delves into her time with two games, Midnight Girl, and the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (2023) multiplayer beta. Is MW3 a remake, a sequel to a remake or an entirely different game? Come and find out. To drink Aadil heads to Bulgaria for Overflow from Sofia Electric Brewing, Lucy crosses the pond for a Honeymaker from Widowmaker Brewing Co, and Ben stays firmly in Bristol for Oktoberfestbier from Wiper and True.

Another Willsmithisode this week but this time it’s Lucy and Ben. Lucy returned to Toem for those tasty MS rewards points. The industry returned to Gamescom so Lucy and Ben discuss what was shown and anything they are looking forward to. Ben’s been playing Somerville before it’s PlayStation release and reviews what he’s played so far. This leads to a chat about Netflix’s gaming service. Lucy leads with an AF beer, drinking Tropic of Now from Brulo, whilst Ben picks up a new beer from an old series, the DIPA V14 from Cloudwater X Other Half.

On this Willsmithisode Aadil and Ben discover that access to games isn’t easy. Ben had been playing Borderlands 3 but it was removed from the PS Plus Extra tier so he isn’t anymore. Aadil was playing with the PS Vita some more but ended up in the past and playing the fantastic Transistor. Finally, they discuss looking back at old games and what might make them seek something out. There are only two of them but three beers are drank. Aadil starts with the Trappist Ale from Tynt Meadow, then for a little comparison drinks the Rochefort 8. Ben stays in France for another week and has Super Smash, from Brasserie Des Abers.

The team return, beers in hand, to run down a week in gaming. Lucy scrounges through the Game Pass dirt, just for achievements and played My Friend Peppa Pig. Ben brings Dordogne, which Lucy has also played, and they have a much nicer conversation about that.

Finally Ben runs through a bunch of demos he has played during Steam Next Fest including Jusant, Lies of P, Kingdom Eighties, Lysara, and The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. Three beers are drunk this week. Brewgooder’s Cold IPA, Crickley Echoes from Deya, and Fierce & Noble’s Stardust. Tweet and follow us: http://twitter.com/outoflivesnet Join The OOL Community Discord: […]

The team returns after a busy and boozy few weeks to discuss two things. The Bristol Craft Beer Festival and Not E3 2023.

This week the whole team is here! Whoo! It’s a week of new releases too. Lucy gives her review of both Planet of Lana, and The Shape of Things. And Ben gives his thoughts on the initial few hours of After Us. Aadil decides he really should start The Return of the Obra Dinn so we chat about it a little. Lucy gets a little jealous as Aadil drinks Il Diplomatico from Pastore Brewing X Maltgarden, and Ben has Uncensored Sports Parade from Verdant Brewing Co X Garage Beer Co, but she soon shakes it when she tucks into Tram Car from Wild Horse Brewing.
