It’s David’s last proper show and there’s no better way to end it than with the GOTY Draft 2018. The boys sit down to put together their list of the top 16 games of the year and they’re already trying to work out each others tactics. David continues his discovery of VR, James tries his hand at Smash Brothers, Mat's hovering around David’s chair and Sean drags out a two hour game over three weeks.
Games discussed: Return of the Obra Dinn, Beat Saber, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Wipeout Omega, Red Dead Redemption 2, Shenmue 2, The Gardens Between, Destiny 2, Sega Megadrive Collection, The Council, Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Everyone's here, but Mat's got a bone to pick with David about his recent performance on another podcast. Other than that, Sean's now a professional gamer, James isn't happy with collectibles, David still has views on Tetris Effect, Mat is playing more games than everyone else, and there's a revelation about 2/3 of the way through the podcast that changes EVERYTHING.
Games discussed: Spider-Man, Pokémon Let’s Go, Red Dead Redemption 2, Warframe, Destiny 2, Tetris Effect

David's been watching a hell of a lot of FIFA 18, Sean's been doing some research on Twitter and Mat's been secretly hammering a game all week that he’s keen to talk about. It’s a long one.
Games discussed: FIFA 18, Shenmue 2, Snake Pass, Tetris Effect, Red Dead Redemption 2, Spider-Man, Ghosts n’ Goblins, Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu, Civilisation VI, Undertale, Destiny 2

It’s Halloween and the boys are keen to use scary noises to spook the listeners. They’ve also spent the week with a snake in their boot and announcing that someone has poisoned the water hole.
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.
Games discussed: Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Fist of the North Star, JYDGE, Space Hulk Tactics, Windjammers, Shenmue

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.
Games discussed: Golf Story, Pool Panic, Fist of the North Star, Forza Horizon 4, Black Ops 4, Mark of the Ninja.
