This week on Thumb Cramps, it’s the first week of Demonstrober, a month dedicated to trying out demos all month long! Jackson has returned and the hosts are joined by fan favourite Adam Carnevale to look at Final Fantasy Resonance DEMO for the Nintendo Switch 2, Terrible Lizards DEMO for the PC and Seven Kingdoms DEMO for the PC. Plus an upsetting Steam reveal, a classic episode of Adam’s Deal Corner and some really good advice in the reviews section. Gaming has never been more back.

This week on Thumb Cramps, Jackson is in a plane and to fill his spot Joel is joined by co-hosts Steph Panecasio and Violet Wilkin from Good Games Morley to take a look at Marvel’s Wolverine for the PS5, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for the PS5 and Free Online Poker for the PC. The tables are turned as Joel is no longer the mean one of the podcast and we think he deserved everything cruel said to him. If you’re coming to PAX Aus make sure you come say hello to everyone and if you’re loaded why not send everyone some money too.

This week on Thumb Cramps, Joel and Jackson are in the UK and it was this or nothing so please enjoy Thumb Cramps Presents: Thumb Cramps & Friends: Sydnaypril (Live in Sydney, April 2026) Present: The M.A.R.G.E 2026: Live (Ft. Joel Zammit, Andrew Levins, Ruby Innes, Steph Panecasio and Chloe Appleby). We know that parts of this show don’t work without video and we’re so sorry but the show was not filmed.
