  • The Much Anticipated (and Fashionably Late) Game Awards '25 Results Breakdown!
    Jan 30 2026

    Belated Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🎮

    We’re back after an extended festive break with an episode that was actually recorded just before Christmas, taking a deep dive into the results of The Game Awards 2025 and the decisions that got people talking.

    And yes, we know… we’re fashionably late, as always 😉⏰

    This discussion was originally meant to be added onto the previous episode, but as usual we went on far too long, so it ended up becoming its own standalone entry.

    There’s no specific game from the list this time around, just two middle-aged men enthusiastically breaking down the results, questioning the winners, and venting about choices they really don’t agree with 🎤😤


    Settle in, press play, and enjoy! 🍿🎧

  • The Bucket List Gamers Christmas Gift Guide 2025 (Plus Game Awards Chatter!)
    Dec 21 2025

    Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas! 🎄

    With the big day just around the corner, are you still scrambling to figure out what to buy the gamer in your life? Fear not—we’ve got you covered.

    The Bucket List Gamers Gift Guide has arrived! Now, full disclosure: we may have left it slightly late, so getting some of these goodies under the tree in time could be a challenge. But let’s be honest—gamers aren’t just for Christmas. These picks are perfect for birthdays, future celebrations, or just because you fancy treating someone special.

    On top of that, we dive into the nominees for the 2025 Video Game Awards. We meant to include our reactions to the winners too (which explains the delayed release), but things got a little out of hand and we ended up talking about the results for over an hour. Oops. That discussion is now officially its own episode—coming your way in the new year!

    Sit back, relax, and enjoy 🎧✨

  • Ooh Boy... We're going to need a Genshin and Tonic After This One!
    Dec 8 2025

    It’s our penultimate episode of the year—with a big Christmas special dropping very soon! We sat down thinking we’d focus on just one game: Genshin Impact.

    But as we dug into the whole “Is it an MMO? Is it not an MMO?” debate (turns out we’re not the only ones confused), another title on our list started to fit surprisingly well…

    So join us as we ramble, rave, and occasionally derail while chatting about Genshin Impact and—because we love a good tangent—Immortals Fenyx Rising.

    Is it pronounced FEE-nix or FEN-iks? Common sense says the former, but you know us… we’re absolutely sticking with the latter.

    Enjoy the episode, and keep those eyes peeled—our big Christmas Special is coming very soon! 🎄✨

To say these guys have very little experience in podcasting, the BLG podcast is very professional and very entertaining.

Interesting views on retro games, and can’t wait to find out what else comes up on the list and more importantly what Jay and Eddie think about them!

Fun, detailed, interesting Retro Gaming podcast
