Indie Game Ravers

We return with the first of this summer/autumns big FPS beta tests, Destiny 2. Ben is joined by two veteran Guardians, Dave Wyatt and Ross Falconer to discuss both the game and the beta test itself. Both Ross and Dave give Ben a little background on some of the original mechanics in Destiny and how they’ve changed for the sequel. They discuss the PvE and PvP play modes, how light the beta seemed on content and if they’ll be there day one.

As always, we talk the games we’ve been playing, “Yonder: the cloud catcher chronicles”, “Duelyst” & Aadil couldn’t resist talking some more “Superhot” as it is out on PSN now, with its VR counterpart as well. Our topic this week is all about “craft” vs independent beer, and how the big corporations are buying things up with people like SIBA wanting a label to show off small and fully independent breweries. Ben starts off with the “Wylam” Pale Ale ‘Remain in Light’, then the ‘Kingslayer’ DIPA from “Buxton”. Lucy has the ‘Alpha Beta’ session IPA by “Ilkley” and the “Magic Rock” peach and raspberry berliner weisse ‘Bellini Vice’. Aadil goes for the ‘Local Motive’ session IPA by “Fallen Brewery” and […]

Adam was on Holiday last week and despite Alfred’s best efforts he was unable to Sheppard a few of the gremli– I mean contributors, into a recording booth to knock out an episode. No matter though because Adam has returned this week to put together an episode for you. I know it is late but at least it is here. This week we dive into Spider-Man: Homecoming (Don’t worry we warn you before any spoilers) & the hottest news of the week; the new occupant of the T.A.R.D.I.S.

Xfire is back and with a new crew who run through the latest Playstation news and discuss a few choice games. This week includes Horizon: Zero Dawn, Until Dawn, Crash Bandicoot, GT Sport, Destiny 2 and Battlefront 2 (the new one).

This week is quite a special one, as we opened up the 13-hour livestream for “Gamers United Against Demnetia”. We talk memory games, times our memory has failed us in games, games as part of dementia/memory research, games as both preventative and palliative brain care, and a whole lot else besides. Ben and Aadil share one of Lucy’s favourite beers the ‘Steady Rolling Man’ pale ale from the folks over at “DEYA”. The boys finish off the conversation with the “Northern Monks Patron Project” pineapple and grapefruit juice IPA ‘4.02’. Lucy starts off with the ‘Cryo Baby’ session IPA from “Magic Rock Brewery”, following it up with “Beerbliotek” ‘Single Hop Mosaic’ IPA.

We’re back. Almost.

We talk “Submerged”, the beautiful more exploration than narrative NEWS game, killing and surviving in “Dead by Daylight”. Our topic this week is Sales! Particularly the big sales events of the year, e.g. steam summer, and seemingly never-ending sales in games that tease our pocketbooks constantly. Aadil rabbits on about the “Enhanced Steam” chrome extension, and Ben still hasn’t quite bought a steam link. Ben has the “To Øl” DIPA ‘Underground’, and Aadil the “Northern Monks Patron Project” Saison ‘DDH’. Do you buy games at full price?

This week; Adam is joined by Aadil for a podcast full of more confectionery than you can shake a stick at… not that you see many people shaking sticks at cakes. Crash Bandicoot’s return in the N.Sane Trillogy has been a roaring success thus far, we chat a bit about a Steven Spielberg Film from 2015 plus we dissect Marvel’s Inhumans trailer… We hope you enjoy it, let us know your thoughts in the comments, like our posts on Social Media and share the podcast with all of your friends!

Ben and Aadil are rejoined by the on-the-mend Lucy talking some more e3, with “Spider-man” causing a diatribe from Aadil about Quick-Time Events and character powers in them. We touch on “Tacoma”, “Cup-Head”, “Life is Strange Season 2”, the “Devolver Digital” conference, and the XXXBone. We move on to talk beer subscriptions services, like Beer 52, Honest Brew, and of course gaming subscription services, like the new XboX games pass and Humble Bundle Monthly, and a quick shout-out to SteamGiveAways. Aadil starts things off with the light in ABV “Mikeller” American-style pale ale ‘Henry Jagger’, then he’s joined by Lucy for a Milk Stout also from “Mikeller”, Aadil forges on to keep the beer count high with the ‘English Endeavour’ […]

Join Francis & Andy for an intimate look at Nintendo’s E3 showing, plus they dig in to the SNES Mini Classic news… Get their thoughts on the Mario & Rabbids game, Pokken Tournament 2, Kirby and more.

This week its Ben and Aadil chatting about their top highlights from e3, the latest offering from the studio that brought us the burnout series, ‘Danger Zone’, and a full-on tangent on Collectible Card Games; “Duelyst”, “Gwent, etc. Ben has the ‘Saison d’Avon’ from “Lost & Grounded”, and ‘Above the Clouds’ IPA from “Electric Bear”. While Aadil has the “Mikeller” ‘Running Club’ Pale Ale, and ‘Sjelefred’ from “Kinn” brewery.

This week; Adam tells a hilarious joke, but in exchange for his new found comedic powers he forgets how to read. Dave reveals the unspeakable things he does to his computer and Alfred, is the mostly sensible one this week… who would’ve thought? Each of us has a list of 5 things we loved from E3 this year that we take you through plus there is a little bit of news right at the start of the episode. Adam Hosts, alongside Alfred and Dave. Don’t forget to like, share, subscribe and to tell your friends about our show! Enjoy!

Your regular host Adam is out this week and has left Alfred to drive this coach. A bold move as Alfred doesn’t have a driving licence. Alfred & Alex discuss all the big E3 announcements and coerce each other into spending lots of money on this weeks episode of Out Of Lives! Don’t forget, if you enjoy the podcast and want to get in touch you can find us at podcast@outoflives.net or over on Twitter @outoflivespod!

Join Francis, Andy & Lucy as they take you through all things Nintendo related before the Direct due to happen on Tuesday. Look out for a post-E3 special sometime after that! Enjoy!  

We start off this week with some listener mail, and talk about our beer storage (and pourage) vessels of choice. Its our second week of e3 predictions, covering the various non-SoNinSoft presentations that will come up. Our hopes, dreams, and the usual drivel flows. Ben starts things off with ‘Eukanot’ by “Black Flag Brewing”, and tops it off with the ‘One More PSI’ from Verdant Brewing. Its a “Mikkeller” week for Aadil, starting with ‘Not Just Another Wit’ Belgian wit ale, and the ‘Stick in the Ear’ West Coast Pale Ale. Lucy goes for the ‘Headband’ by “Verdant” and ‘Fruit Loop’ from “London Beer Factory”.

This week Allan and Dan are joined by host of Xbox Party Chat Podcast, Ross Miller; mischief and mayhem ensues in the rant battle as Ross tries to fight that console games are better than mobile and then we have our first ever green light spotlight where we talk to up and coming games developers about their brand new games. We talk to Luka Parascandalo about his fantastic action rogue-like The Wishgranter, which was green-lit only days after the podcast was recorded!

Adam And Alfred are your hosts again this week as we get news of a new Rocket League update, Pokemon had a Direct and sadly Peter Sallis has passed away. Plus there is a conversation about Doctor Who that may, or may not, have been cut short by the podcasting gods. Was it? Find out by listening now…

Its that time again, E3 is fast approaching and its our first prediction episode. But first we start off with a discussion on the growing trend of craft beer availability in the supermarkets. Then we talk predictions on Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. Ben and Lucy start with ‘New World’ IPA from “Northern Monk Brewing co.”, while Aadil starts off with ‘Wolf Warning’ double brew lager from “Sofiero Bryggeri”. Aadil then has the “Oskar Blue” ‘Dale’s Pale Ale’, Lucy has the ‘Ancho Dark Lager’ from “Tempest Brewing Co”. Ben finishes it off with ’19’, an American-stlye IPA from “Mikkeler”.

It’s our first Ben-less week. Aadil is joined by Ms. Beeresistable herself, Lucy Yearwood. Without Ben to reign us in, we talk about quite a bit starting with the newly launched XBox Game Pass, compare it to EA Access, and rant about the weird business models that exist around older games. Aadil waxes poetic about “European Truck Simulator 2” in VR and “Superhot VR”. We touch a little on Hitman and the shutting down of I/O Interactive, and the “Link to the Past: Randomizer”, as well as “Breath of the Wild”, “Thumper” and so much more. Oh yeah, the topic is nostalgia gaming, (S)NES classic, and backwards compatibility. We both take on the 500mL 9.2% ‘Human Cannonball’ from “Magic Rock […]
