#140: The Best Mysteries In Games Special May 20, 2021

Show notes

It seems, after weeks of investigation, we have uncovered the truth: it was you, podcast listener, who was the culprit all along. Well, well, well. Don't bother trying to defend yourself. We can't hear you. It's all recorded ahead of time. Yes, this week the Electronic Wireless Show delves into our favourite mysteries. There's only a brief intermission to discuss what counts as a mystery (mysteries being a topic we designate "Matthew Kibble", similar to "Nate Bait"), but watch out for the extended break where Alice chokes with laughter because Matthew has to take a Rennie, live on air. We also introduce a lot of Adrian Chiles chat. Only time can tell if Chiles will become a regular podcast character. Also: yes Alice did get the episode number wrong in the recording.

#139: The Best Giants In Games Special May 13, 2021

Show notes

The EWS podcast was on hiatus last week, because I was in a cottage where milk gets delivered in old-school glass bottles and then isn't drunk but left in the fridge unopened so it curdles but still looks new and then my cup of tea is ruined. But now I've returned to the land of wired internet, so too the Electronic Wireless Show returns with the best giants in games special. 🌐 Read the show notes: www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-podcast-episode-139-the-best-giants-in-games-special 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun 💬 Join the RPS Discord: discord.gg/rockpapershotgun

#138: The Best Water In Games Special Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

Back once again with a topic that I suspect we may have done before, it's the Electronic Wireless Show podcast. This week we're talking about the best water in games, but we also take the time to discuss what we think counts as a sandwich (we are surprisingly on the same page with it). Digressions, apart from the sandwich thing, are surprisingly few, although we make time to talk about what Andrew Ryan would be like if he took a trip to the London Aquarium with Matthew, and there's a pretty off-topic Cavern of Lies in there too. 🌐 Read the show notes: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-podcast-episode-138-the-best-water-in-games-special 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun 💬 Join the RPS Discord: discord.gg/rockpapershotgun

#137: The Best Combat In Games Special Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

This week, after a post by Graham inspired a big discussion in the RPS Discord, the Electronic Wireless Show Podcast is having a best combat in games special. In a surprising move we manage to not have a huge discussion about what constitutes 'combat', but we do discuss what Batman would do if he went to the London Aquarium with Matthew. Aside from that, there are surprisingly few digressions this week. Us, staying on topic? Armageddon must be upon us. But there is a moment where Matthew reveals that he basically thinks he should never be punished for anything, and Nate provides a bumper Mortal Kombat-themed Cavern Of Lies. 🌐 Read the show notes: www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electron…ames-special 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun 💬 Join the RPS Discord: discord.gg/rockpapershotgun

#136: The Best Weather In Games Special Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

What's up? The thermostat, that's what! After a very brief hiatus last week (when Nate and I were both away and Matthew didn't want to rant into thin air by himself) we return in time to greet the sun. The approach of Summer in the UK has been heralded by the big hot ball in the sky, but also sometimes snow in the same day, because this is Normal Island in many ways. The changeable weather made me suggest this as our topic for the Electronic Wireless Show podcast this week should be the best weather in games. So it is... We open, as you can predict, with a discussion on Matthew's opinions on barbecues. After this, and a lengthly chat about police procedurals, we do talk about some of our favourite game weather (not including mud, which is not weather). There is also a lengthy argument about whether "the moon" counts as weather, which it clearly does not. 🌐 Read the show notes: www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-podcast-episode-136-the-best-weather-in-games-special 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun 💬 Join the RPS Discord: discord.gg/rockpapershotgun

#135: The Best Co-op Games Special Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

After what's becoming a chillingly regular meditation on the concept of Matthew extinguishing the lives of astronauts, this week's podcast waded into some staunch reminiscence about classic co-op games on PC. Indeed, with Alice away this week, the boys were really method-acting the theme: two extraordinarily buff soldiers, grimacing with war-weary determination against a horde of meandering, half-on-topic anecdotes. Nate got way too excited about his idea for a Dance Dance Revolution mod based on Pacific Rim, Matthew got to show some love for the adorably brutish Gears Of War series, and stern warnings were given on the damage that Overcooked can do to relationships. The Cavern of Lies featured a short and utterly brutal RPG adaptation of the first level of Halo 2. 🌐 Read the show notes: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-podcast-episode-135-the-best-co-op-games-special 💬 Join the RPS Discord: discord.gg/rockpapershotgun 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun

#134: The Best Journeys In Games Special Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

After being on holiday last week, Alice makes a stunning return to The Electronic Wireless Show podcast, just in time to wrangle Matthew and Nate away from excessive egg chat (Nate genuinely mooted today's episode be eggs: part two). Today's episode is actually all about our favourite journeys in games. At first, we interpreted this literally, talking about favourite progressions from place A to place B. Eventually we do start discussing whether we can also count metaphorical journeys: character arcs, or stories that take us as a player on a journey. Digressions this week include whether the sand in Journey is better than the mud in Red Dead Redemption 2, the time Nate offended a very famous chef, and Matthew just being generally sinister and saying words like "flesh". 🌐 Read the show notes: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-podcast-episode-134-the-best-journeys-in-games-special 💬 Join the RPS Discord: discord.gg/rockpapershotgun 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun

#133: The Best Eggs In Games Special Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

Cats went chasing after dogs on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast this week. Birds flew upside down, water fell upwards, and men became beasts, as Nate and Matthew plunged headlong into the chaos of a world where Alice is on holiday for a week. Needless to say, the conversation on this wild new frontier turned immediately to the subject of the best eggs depicted in PC gaming. Immediately, that is, after an intense discussion of goldfish husbandry, cats that can open doors, and eggs in general. But eggs were indeed discussed, Dizzy was needlessly disrespected, and there was a deeply experimental Cavern of Lies, in which Matthew and Nate had their bodies swapped by friend of the show Sir Anthony Hopkins. 🌐 Read the show notes: www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-podcast-episode-133-the-best-eggs-in-games-special 💬 Join the RPS Discord: discord.gg/rockpapershotgun 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun

#132: The Best Buildings In Games Special Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

If you build it, they will come, as the old saying goes. In this week's episode of The Electronic Wireless Show podcast, we discuss some of our favourite buildings in games. At least, that is the stated intent. In reality, this becomes one of those episodes where at some point Alice drops the reigns and doesn't really manage to pick them up again. There is game chat, yes, but also a lot of talk about pizzas, Matthew's concerns about eating pork, and the British Museum. Strangely, we are low on fish chat this week. I think over time we are gradually transitioning to being a podcast about the specific food anxieties of one man. 🌐 Read the show notes: https://www/rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-podcast-episode-132-the-best-buildings-in-games-special 💬 Join the RPS Discord: discord.gg/rockpapershotgun 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun

#131: The Best Bosses In Games Special Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

Protect your glowing red weak spot, reader, because this week the Electronic Wireless show podcast is on the hunt for the best bosses in games. we're actually fairly sure we've done this topic at least once before, but let's do it again! This does actually result in some fairly sensible dicussion of bosses and what we think of them as a concept, which I know will come as a great surprise to you all. We were surprised our own selves. There is, however, a lengthy discussion on the 2010 film Wolfman, and an anecdote about pizza from Matthew. We shall circle back to his opinions on cured meats, never you fear. 🌐 Read the show notes: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-podcast-episode-131-the-best-bosses-in-games-special 💬 Join the RPS Discord: https://discord.gg/rockpapershotgun 🛒 Buy some RPS merch: https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/rockpapershotgun
