    Noodling - #602
    Feb 18 2026
    It's the 10 year anniversary of Tony Gowland's first appearance on One Life Left so, to celebrate, our Super Special Guest this week is none other than 'Seasoned Game Dev' Leo Tan!!! He's here to talk about working with Flaming Fowl Studios on new game Konfronto, his game dev process, using community feedback and also his abs! Charlesbot covers Sony's recent State of Play, Jaffe using an 'F' bomb, the Virtual Boy does some more stuff and some bloke called Ste Curran has yet another game out! Meanwhile we also discover what Ste got for his birthday (Battery Daddy!) and why Simon has never done anything new ever again. Ben the Caretaker put everyone to shame by being the only listener to write in to us this episode. Shocking! Make sure this doesn't happen again by writing a letter to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord, check out our Vanity Projects and then leave a letter for us on there! Link below!

    It Doesn't Matter! - #600
    Feb 4 2026
    It's the big '600' but it doesn't matter because the show turns 20 YEARS OLD in April!!! If those huge numbers put you off then this is only episode 14 of our 26th 'season'. There. That's nice. This week we cover the recent Pocket Gamer Connects in London plus a Google project kills rival's shares, a fan-made PS handheld makes folk wonder what might happen if Sony did another, Switch Dispatch censorship shenanigans, the Virtual Boy returns to give you headaches again and Sony patent a customisable touchscreen controller - but would it survive being thrown around in anger?!? Ste also tells us about his latest games: Stackword and Every Word Search! And while you're here, why not check out the Resonance FM 2026 fundraiser HERE! Please do. They're great! Of course there's another Maraoke coming up as well!! When? Friday 13th February at Loading Bar in Stoke Newington, London. Grab your tickets HERE! Do you throw your game controllers around in anger? Have you sold a 3DS recently and, if so, did it make you rich?? Tell us all about that and anything else game related at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and leave us a letter on there.

Who could that neighbour be and what exactly were they having done?! Write in and let us know... Meanwhile we do actually talk about some video game shenanigans including Sony patenting a ghost, Baldur's Gate 3 still avoiding the Switch 2, Kojima doing hardware and some Splitgate stuff. We also discuss our 2026 gaming hopes and dreams to try and avoid the horrors of the real world! How would you celebrate a 20th anniversary??

    Dedication. Dedication. Dedicaaatioooon! That’s what you need. If you wanna be the best, and you wanna beat the rest. Oo-ooh dedication's what you need! Look, World Records is mentioned in this show and that got the theme tune to Record Breakers stuck in my head so I'm just sharing the joy/pain (delete as required)... Anyway, this week we have Valve banning horses, Crocs are Xbox, TimeSplitters Rewind finally enters Early Access while GoldenEye (devs) does/do word games, Vampire Survivors branch out and Lara Croft has more World Records than Ste! We also shoutout to Jingle Jam 2025, report back on Maraoke from last week and announce that our Xmas Maraoke is on Friday 19th December at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington, London.
