It goes without saying, but if you haven’t played True Colors, or if you don’t want to know anything about the game, turn this spoilercast off IMMEDIATELY, then come back once you’ve finished it.

Sean, Mat and James talked over PlayStation's first 'State of Play' presentation live on Twitch, and here it is in audio form.
We'd obviously recommend watching the video of our live reactions on our Twitch or YouTube channels, but if you're not able to do that, hopefully this audio version will suffice.
Note: Because we used the audio from the stream for this show, the audio quality won't be at quite the same high standard as the weekly pod. We're working on making this much better for the next one. Thanks!

Look
If you had
One shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?
James is bemused by Mat’s poor performance, Sean is back playing a game he's played on other platforms, Mat and James talk about their time playing with a big, hairy gorilla, and there's a whole lot of news to get through.
And this news isn't just a series of press releases, oh no. Definitely not. There’s not one press release amongst the news stories this week because apparently that’s UNACCEPTABLE.
Games discussed: Destiny 2, Assault Android Cactus, Ape Out, River City Ransom, Resident Evil 2, Bloodborne.

Ooh, looks like the listeners are scared. All because we’re not afraid to speak our minds, put our heads above the parapet and tell it LIKE IT IS. And do you know what, we don’t care. No other podcast on the PLANET is brave enough to say that Zelda BOTW was a good game, but it’s no skin off our nose. Mario Galaxy was alright too.
Also: James has an announcement that ruins the fun for everyone, Mat is psyched for 2020, and despite what Sean says in this episode, people will probably still say he’s a big Anthem fan.
Games discussed: Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Destiny 2, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Deadly Premonition, Metro Exodus, Resident Evil 2, Bloodborne, Crackdown 3, Destiny 2, Tetris 99, Kingdom Hearts 3, Anthem.

As you’d expect much of this show is dedicated to Red Dead Redemption 2 but that doesn’t stop David and Sean questioning some of Mat’s statements from the week before. Meanwhile James is adjusting to time travel.

David’s off this week, so here it is; a little preview of how TCGS will sound in 2019 when David takes a year off to look after this second child.
Oh wait. What’s that? Sean’s also not on the show because he’s suddenly unwell an hour before recording? Ah.
Well that just leaves James and Mat to carry the torch and do something for the listeners. I mean sure, James would have liked nothing more than for Mat to cancel and not release a show this week, but unless we’re all dead from a freak schmelting accident, that’s not happening. We’ve got a commitment to the listeners and nothing will ever break that. EVER.

It’s a big one this week. Not only is it the final episode before our live show at EGX this coming Saturday, but a lot has happened since the last recording.
Spider-Man’s mysterious backpacks? Solved. That Spider-Man proposal? Dealt with. The fact that Mat and James thought they were more important than David and Sean and could do whatever they liked and upload an episode of Interface on the TCGS feed and therefore disrespecting everyone associated with the show not to mention every single listener? Very much dealt with. So strap in and settle down to another episode of The Computer Game Show. Sean is also on the show.
Games discussed: Black Ops 4, Forza Horizon 4, FIFA 19, Rocket League, Shenmue, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Destiny 2: Forsaken

All four of us are present for the first time in weeks, and we launch straight into an argument about why David's opinion on Yakuza 0 is an issue, whereas the opinion from "My Sean" is perfectly valid. Elsewhere the plate and whether things are technically on or off it is discussed again, plus Fortnite on Android, Nintendo's sales figures, and which TCGS member is most like one of the cast from Only Fools and Horses.

Sean returns but James ruins any chance we had of having a full cast by dropping out just hours before recording. We should be mad really but to be fair to him he’s put the effort in by pre-recording the news and mailing it in. He won’t editorialise it though, no way. Mat reacts to whether the listeners think Super Mario Odyssey is off of his plate or not and David struggles to get back into No Man’s Sky.

This week's show is like one of those crime documentaries that you see on Netflix. We go live from the TCGS court where James Farley, who is definitely guilty, tries to defend ROM sites. Judge Turner is not convinced but is willing to hear what the defendant has to say. In a strange turn of events Prosecuting Lawyer Mat Murray has to take to the stands to defend himself over a claim that he has completed the Super Mario Odyssey 500 moon challenge and the Judge has a confession to make about playing football in a heatwave. All this and more on this week's episode of TCGS Court.
Games discussed: Nintendo Labo, Mugsters, Celeste, Super Mario Odyssey, The Lion’s Song, Hollow Knight, The Last of Us, Pure / Electric Love “What do you want?” - Eri Kitami

Both James and Sean sit out this week so David and Mat call on an old friend to fill the gap. David finishes The Spectrum Retreat and reveals whether or not it lives up to last week's hype while Mat has to defend his lack of deodorant use. News is a bit thin on the ground this week, but the boys have some news of their own to keep things interesting.

It's coming home, It's coming home, It's coming, Football's coming home (x4). Everyone seems to know the score, they've seen it all before, they just know, they're so sure, that England's gonna throw it away gonna blow it away but I know they can play ‘cause I remember three Lions on a shirt. Jules Rimet still gleaming. Thirty years of hurt. Never stopped me dreaming.
So many jokes, so many sneers but all those oh-so-nears wear you down through the years but I still see that tackle by Moore and when Lineker scored, bobby belting the ball and Nobby dancing. Three Lions on a shirt. Jules Rimet still gleaming. Thirty years of hurt. Never stopped me dreaming.

With David being ill and Mat and James both nursing hangovers we were a little concerned that this week’s show might be a washout. Turns out that all we needed was more Life is Strange to talk about and an excuse to walk down memory lane. This ended up being a very fun one to record, so you’d better bloody like it.

To close out our E3 coverage the boys go over the predictions they made before E3 had started and work out who out of the four has won. David finishes Detroit and is eager to talk to James about it, Sean wonders why his name is always read out last and Mat gets to confront the others on the lies they told him last week.

David and Jon are away AGAIN, so this week it’s a Mat and James special. It’s a serene affair, as the two friends calmly discuss topics such as last week’s Games Media Brit List awards and our EGX live show announcement. And there's other stuff to discuss; from pre-E3 news to questions about contraception. It’s all happening this week. Watch TCGS LIVE at EGX on Saturday 22nd September 2018.

David's unwell and Jon's away, so Mat and James draft in podcast rivals Leon Cox and Darren Gargette from Cane and Rinse for this week's episode. There's a ton of news to get through, with everything from Nintendo's online offering to E3 leaks. Discussion then turns to God of War, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Moss, Laser League and more. Oh and with David being away, Mat's back to edit this week's show. Funny how David said "Oh you'll never edit this show again!" a few weeks ago, and now look. What crap. Anyway, it's a great edit this week with absolutely no laughter removed. Mostly becsause there was very little to remove in the first place.
We're nominated for a Mixcloud Online Radio Award! Visit http://mora.fm/nominee/the-computer-game-show/ to vote for us before Sunday 20th May.

James has to miss out on the show this week as he had work commitments leaving David, Mat and Jon to wonder what his work life must be like. Mat is getting a little too excited for Season 4 of Fortnite while David and Jon make solid progress with God of War as well as coming up with an idea for a new YouTube channel.

This week the lads have had to decide who the most important people on the show are and some members aren’t happy with the results. They also talk about performing the show live at Rezzed 2018 and the nightmare of a week that followed. There’s the usual chat about the games they’ve played and the answers they’ve got for listener’s questions but less face it, all you lot care about is the drama.

The Computer Game Show Live. Unfortunately due to unforeseen technical difficulties during recording, the sound on this is awful. But we know some of you will want to hear this, so we're putting this out anyway. This show was recorded live at EGX Rezzed 2018, on Sunday 15th April 2018.

Tensions rise between all of the hosts as David has a thing or two to say about Mat’s editing. The show moves on to talk about why Steam Boxes failed, whether big budget games have to avoid political issues in order to not alienate an audience and despite A Way Out being disappointing, why they would still recommend you play it. But I’ll be honest, everyone is on tenterhooks throughout.

David's positive about a game with some negative press, Jon's still angry about a game with mixed press, Mat's largely positive about a game with disappointing press, and James is interested, mostly.

This week Mat lacked the persistence to play Sea of Thieves so David summons the help of James and Jon to talk about it. David could have spoken about it on his own but he really couldn’t be bothered to put all that effort in himself, so instead let the others do it while he sat back and took the credit. Some may think David is a coward for doing this. Actually, most people would. It really shows him up as the sort of person he is. A let down of a man.

To complete the TCGS E3 coverage the boys review their pre-E3 predictions to find out who got the most right. The problem is, David is unwell, Sean is half asleep, Mat is exclusively confused and James is so disappointed that he has a breakdown.

Obviously they consider taking advantage of their situation, but not before questioning whether he actually managed to avoid all gaming news for over a week or not.

The normal format goes out of the window this week as Sean, Mat, Dave and James turn their focus on E3 2017 and put their necks on the line by listing what they predict will be announced. I mean none of what they say on this show will happen but it doesn’t stop them arguing about it for over two hours.
