Console Yourself

Well look it's part 2 of our 2018 E3 special, and it's appearing on the 1st of July! HOW TIMELY. Never accuse us of managing our time well (not that you ever would). We still promise to get our HIT-POINTS specials out before Beyond Good and Evil 2 releases though...

Matt and resident Andrew W.K. lookalike Tom made their E3 2018 predictions last show, now that the conference halls have emptied out and all the announcements have been blurted out, Tom and Matt can sit back, relax and reflect on how totally off the mark they were. This is part 1 of our 2 part E3 roundup for 2018, focusing on EA, Microsoft, Bethesda and Square Enix. Part 2 will follow shortly in the week.

It's E3 2018 which means it's time for Tom and Matt to make wildly off the mark predictions about what will go down at that bloated, buzzword spewing, cringe-inducing corporate mess-fest that we (honestly really do) love so much!

With a pocket full of month old news, some Xbox positivity and a new culturally confused toy, Console Yourself squeezes out a new episode. What would the Xbox One sound like if it had a voice? What do we sound like after not having recorded for close to a month? Tune in to find out!

Our second episode of the 'titled episode' era arrives... about 8 days after it should have because of Matt's SUPER-sluggish editing. Ah well, we've got news about some games you've heard about and probably one that you haven't, also a terrible Robbie Williams outro song, good times! Got anything to say?

Some topics discussed include cucumbers, a new Nintendo IP, Overwatch boy news, hanami, the Chinese Zodiac, a ridiculous Dark Souls record and other gaming (and non gaming) related matters. Also we have episode titles now, because why not. This one is entitled 'Jazz' because of the somewhat scattershot nature and also because we are well jazzy.

Our first HIT-POINTS of 2018 looks at Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: a star-studded, neon maypole of controversy that occupied the free time of many teenagers back in 2003. Tom and Matt were two such teenagers, but as they replay the game a decade and a half later do they find that it still holds up? Tune in to find out. Got anything to say to us?

Chats surfaces for the first time in 2018 just in time for us to talk about magical Nintendo cardboard, shiny Sony sneakers, Tetris love, Paris Hilton petitioning Twitter, Mario Tennis and the upcoming God of War. Also as an added bonus we make BOLD predictions for the upcoming year of gaming in 2018. How off the mark do you think we'll be? Probably very! Tune in now to take note and tune back in at the end of the year to scoff at our clear lack of predictive ability. Got Anything to say?

Less than 6 months after the original Five Nights at Freddy's scared the pants off every aspiring Youtuber, game creator Scott Cawthon released it's fully-fledged sequel Five Nights at Freddy's 2. With more animatronics, expanded lore and an even more nightmarish depiction of the nightshift from hell, did Tom and Matt make it through all 5 nights, or were they jumpscared straight to hell? Dear listener, you'll have to tune in to find out... Got Anything to say as we embark upon season 2 of HIT-POINTS?

As we make our way though the first few days of 2018, the Console Yourself team look back at the year that was: 2017. What a helluva year for gaming! To celebrate we have 17 awards for 2017 (how very clever) ranging from the good, the bad, the surprising, the disappointing, the sassy, the whimsical, the PENULTIMATE and then the very best games of the year. As an added bonus, we have a teeny tiny HIT-POINTS which will act as all you'll hear of us discussing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Unfortunate that original episode is now like an ark (lost). Thanks for sticking with us through 2017, we have big plans ahead for 2018 which we're excited to announce to you soon! Want to stay in touch with those announcements?

Done arguing with your family on Christmas and stuffing your face Boxing Day? Hopefully you've still got room for one more chats episode in 2017! Tom and Matt get the band back together (which consists of Matt and Tom) to chat out the end of the year. Console Yourself will return soon after the new year for their end of year awards 2017 EXTRAVAGANZA! But until then... Got Anything to say?

Merry ChristMATT eve everybody! Things have been a bit quiet on the Console Yourself front as of late, but here we return with a long chats episode and a VERY SPECIAL GUEST! So special they get an all caps intro: Mr Dudi Deutrom from our friends over at the Shaken Not Nerd podcast joins Tom in the recording chair while Matt’s away in Japan doing Japan things. Star Wars comes up (A LOT) as the lads discuss their top 5 choices for games they’d like to see remastered before answering a series of questions sent in by Matt, who demands a presence even when he’s absent.

They're baaaaaack! One with a wedding ring on his finger and the other still with a Switch in his hand. There's a bit of talk about Star Wars Battlefront 2 (but not too much, we know you're all probably drowning in that this week/month/existence), tracking down an Xbox One X in Australia and Japan, Tom finally clocking Horizon: Zero Dawn (before embarking on the DLC), Matt finally clocking Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (before embarking on the DLC), Tom dips his toes into Wolfenstein the New Colossus as well as the shiny, waist high water graphics of the original Uncharted before rounding of with a little Oxenfree and what stocking stuffers we hope to see come Christmas time.

With the holidays and a certain co-host's wedding on the horizon, we present this podcast to you, before taking a little break that should last no longer than two weeks. If you miss our voices during this time, we recommend you playing this episode on repeat. If you do it while heavily sedated your brain might even falsely think you're listening to it for the first time! So heavy sedatives and repeat listenings: that's what the Console Yourself podcast recommends to you. Got Anything to say? Perhaps you have a better grasp of what 'the bit' is when we say 'chomping at the bit'?

This week Tom and Matt talk about a 2 minute game for 40 minutes. Why? How? Well because while Don't Sh*t Your Pants may not be a long game, it sure is a big spring-board to talk about all manner of topics including game genre, length, design and the evolution of an artist honing their craft.

In this bonus episode (or should we say NEGA-SODE?) for the week, Tom and Matt put on the rant pants and rip into NBA 2k18 and Thimbleweed Park. Now while this program is almost always attempting to be a platform for the beauty and positivity of games, sometimes you need to be a negative nellie and wallow in the lows, just so that you can makes the highs feel all that sweeter. We hope you enjoyed this little bonus episode, and remember!

Matt and Tom celebrate a milestone in this chats episode before talking Golf Story, FIFA 18, Cuphead, masochistic controller challenges, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Suda 51’s return to the director’s chair for Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes and then Matt reveals his FAVOURITE GAME OF ALL TIME before recommending a whole heap of trailers (links to which are listed below in this description) including the utterly brillant Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice accolades trailer the release of which coincided with Mental Health Awareness Day.

After a steady diet of Metal Gear Solid 2 we have returned to the world of regular gaming chats! Listen to us shake off the rustyness by chatting all about Horizon: Zero Dawn, tantric sex, the Yakuza game series (and real life Yakuza experiences), Thimbleweed Park and Thumper! Also we have a highly in depth Sonic Mania review, Matt breaking very important Mario + Rabbids news, Sonic partnering up with a veeeery unlikely business in Japan, a segment returning in ‘How Many Xbox Ones were sold in Japan this Week?’ and even a mention of Ask Jeeves!
