Skyrim on PC and a dash of a frogger clone on the BBC micro

Exactly, I like to hear people being enthusiastic and talking about the topic or even off topic, but when all they do is talk about themselves all the time week in week out it gets rather annoying and pointless. I enjoyed the show with Kenz, I like his vocal style. You have made me go and purchase K...

the worst one for that is the Kevin Smith podcast. We all love his films,but I think his ego is starting to inflate A LOT. I tried his podcast and its the most childish stupid drivel I have ever heard. Consists of a "topic" and of Kevin Smith say random things he thinks are hilarious and h...

there is one retro podcast, cant remember the name but it comes in at FIVE hours!! that should extend your listening a bit!

System Shock 2
Medieval 2: Total War
Tomb Raider
X Wing vs Tie Fighter with Balance of Power expansion
Half Life 2



Many many that I enjoyed or loved, but these ones stood out for me big time.

Merry Christmas one and all !!

pm sent! will even write a review!

Just finished reading the article,very interesting!
