It's not just shadow dropped but it's shadow dropped into early access and he's here to tell us all about it! Meanwhile Simon gets dragged to the Houses of Parliament for beers with Kier, Ste doesn't go to the cricket and we all talk about Summer Game Fest 2026, another ROG Ally, David Yarnton spinning a yarn about Gizmondo, Wolverine being a bit stabby and Tifa?

    Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dear listeners! This week Simon recognised his children for the first time in ages while Ste killed the games industry YET AGAIN! Yet he's still allowed to walk around as a free man! The police do nothing these days, etc etc... We also discuss GTA6 still being 'on course', the Steamdeck price hike, Soccer Kid returning in time for the World Cup and Geralt returning in time for... erm... in time to remind people that Witcher 3 is still a game you can purchase, probably. Meanwhile Ste gives us a run down of his recent trip to Nordic Gamer and we all battle with Simon's mic issues - sorry, listeners! Come on, write us some more letters! Please!

    The boys are back from Japan and are here to tell you all about it in what is possibly multi-part episodic content! This week they cover buying stuff they didn't even want and/or need, including Virtual Boys and gachas as well as discussing the Nex Playground finally coming to the UK, Virtuos dreaming of other ports, Mixtape not being delisted (but, after only 3 years, LEGO 2K Drive is), Asha Sharma breaking her Caps Lock button and the Sega Super/Mega Game is finally not coming! Simon also gives us an update on his new game, 52!, and how he's planning on going to war against his own players! Is this directly my fault? Possibly... If YOU want to play 52! then join our Discord - link below! The next episode will be in 2 weeks time - enough time for either Stockport (Ste's team) or Bolton (my team) to have beaten the other at Wembley and be in the Championship - Drama! Excitement! Overpaid footballers even at this level!! It also gives you plenty of time, and not many excuses, to write us a letter!!

    This week is mainly brought to you by excitement from our intrepid duo over their impending trip to Japan! The boys still make time to talk about video games, though, including (but not limited to) Xbox exclusives being exclusively exclusive, May the Fourth be with the new Steam controller and what happened to the Sega Mega Game? We also talk about video game pricing (courtesy of a listener's letter!!), there's an update on vanity projects and yet more Japan trip excite! Friday 15th May is still the date for our next Maraoke. Will you be there? Come on, you know it makes sense! Get your tickets HERE! What gaming paraphernalia would you take on a long flight? Have you ever been in a wine cave??

    HEALTH WARNING: Do not use these show notes as any kind of official and/or legal record. Or even life guidance. Heck, no. With that in mind, this week we see that Simon can't be improved while Ste went to Wembley but, as always with football, it's the hope that kills you. The intrepid duo also, yet again, carefully say "egg hunt" as is the tradition at this time of year. Video game wise we wax lyrical about the GTA6 leak/Rockstar share price hike, the 2026 BAFTA Game Awards, the PlayStation sales soar, Lana Del Ray x Bond game and the state of arcades in Skegness! There has been a Maraoke and there will be another Maraoke! It will be on Friday 15th May and will possibly involve free drinks! Oh boy!! You can get your tickets HERE! Has anyone ever played GTA Online?! Let us know about that and anything else game related at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and drop us a letter there! Link below!

    Well, good lord... I mean... wow... I wrote two things down for what Ste got up to this week and, dear listener, they're both TRUE: Ste becomes a hacker AND Ste behaves questionably in a gym! The two are indeed one and you will find out all about it in this episode! Our dynamic duo also recount past 'bad boy' school exploits whilst wondering if kids do any work these days and pondering over who to bully next! (We don't bully people, it's bad. This will all make sense when you listen to the episode. Again: bullying is bad. Do not bully.) Meanwhile there is actual gaming stuff to mull over including Epic axing employees, Sony hiking prices, Nintendo dabbling with their prices, Starfox making a Summer 2026 appearance (maybe), it's still always never F-Zero and this is no longer an Xbox! We're off for two weeks after this episode so this is the last chance I'll have to pitch the next Maraoke to YOU! It's on Friday 10th April at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington, you really should go to it, alone or with friends/colleagues/acquaintances/family members/neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, and you can get your tickets HERE! Having some time off over Easter? Planning a Bank Holiday gaming marathon, maybe? Tell us all about it at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and brag about all your free time and gaming extravaganzas on there! Link below!

    It's a Dialogue - #607

    This week there's no SSG but Charlesbot has had his meeting with HR and realised it's in his best interests to return to work and read about Nintendo planning a new Switch 2 already, as well as boosting the current one, Minecraft coming to Chessington, Cyberpunk getting a trading card game and Nvidia angering everyone with DLSS 5. Remember when Nvidia was typed out like nVidia? No? Just me? Ok then. Meanwhile we're all publishers, we're all on panels and we're all digital. Apparently. According to my notes, anyway. It'll be here sooner than you think! "What would that be?" I hear you cry?!? The next Maraoke event, that's what! It's on Friday 10th April at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington and you can get your tickets HERE! Have you been on a developer's yacht?
