Description

One Life Left is a radio show about videogames, only not really. We love games but we take them precisely as seriously as they deserve. 99% nonsense and 1% heart-stopping brilliance, they are all supposed to be fun and so are we. We have news, reviews and special guests, sure, but we also play game-related music and we have stupid game-related features like inappropriately dark-hearted poetry, gambling tips and chart news from a market stall. We're on the wonderful Resonance 104.4FM at 7PM every Monday and on the internet all the time, ever, right here.

#536 - Use Your Allusion
2024/02/21
Hello dearest listeners! This week Baldur's Gate 3 wins awards, the Silent Hill 2 remake trailer isn't good, we get an OG Tomb Raider game warning, Xbox hardware won't vanish and the Switch 2 gets delayed (maybe). Also Ste is not making a massively multiplayer game. Did we mention it would be cool if you could help Resonance FM by donating to them? Well the link to their 2024 Fundraiser is below! Do you know which game Ste is alluding to? Where were you in 1996?? Do you know how to play craps?! Then let us know at team@onelifeleft.com.

#535 - Business Dreams
2024/02/14
Hello dearest listeners! This week in the podcast edition of the world's longest running (English language) video game radio show we have dangerous tree cutting, gaming based anxiety nightmares, children tell jokes, more Nintendo speculation and crazy price tag defence. Plus is it overtime or extra time and does anyone really care? *Warning* The podcast exclusive intro contains swears. The actual show might also have swears though we tried to BEEP them all. Just putting it out there in case anyone likes to listen to the show within earshot of young and/or impressionable people or if you're young and/or impressionable yourself.

#534 - What Time is OLLove?
2024/01/31
This week in your single video game podcast that releases a single episode per week (most of the time) that covers industry news, new releases (often) and has smart thoughts and analysis (we try), we have Cliff Bleszinski waiting on a call from Microsoft, Ste cancels Netflix in anger, Hideaki Itsuno doesn't like fast travel and the Switch successor brags an 8" (screen). We also have a Pocket Gamer report and Charlesbot points the finger at fat cat bosses! Plus in our exclusive podcast intro section, Simon gives us a history of Phillip Schofield while Ste shows us a "behind the curtain" view of virtual studio use and the perils therein! WRITE TO US BECAUSE THE SHOW IS BETTER WITH YOU IN IT!! Please? Drop a letter to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Or come along and join in the fun on our OLL Discord where the party never stops!

#533 - Co-Op Sock
2024/01/24
You should always take your socks gaming with you. That may or may not be the important lesson to be learned in this week's episode, or I misheard something. Possibly that. On this week's RADIO SHOW that is also a podcast (but a RADIO SHOW first and foremost) we also find out what is "confusing AF" about Bluey's Xmas episodes, Palworld copies from Pokemon shocker, 8% of all devs are working on Switch 2, PS4 outsells XSX, 100 is small, Simon bursts into song and Charlesbot tries out his Australian accent! Plus there's a test run of our new trivia quiz that may never get repeated. Winner gets a pair of socks - the perfect co-op gaming companion! Things are getting dangerously low on the letters front, dear listeners! Beat those January blues by writing us a missive to team@onelifeleft.com.

2024/01/17

#531 - We Go Again!
2024/01/10
Happy New Year! We are back from a very video-game Xmas and we might all be a bit rusty after the holidays! In this episode we have Steam releasing a lot of games (though the signal to noise ratio isn't great), a 13 year old kills Tetris, Nintendo might have a new console out this year and new life is breathed into Cyberpunk 2077.

#530 - FLAAGEN!
2023/12/13
On the last show before Christmas Ste and Simon gave to me A real, live, talking SSG! That's right, dear listeners! You've been good this year, mostly, so you get an SSG in the form of Andrew Smith from Spilt Milk Studios, here to talk all about Trash Goblin, amongst other things! There's also Game Awards "excitement", vegan gangsters, a zombie MMO that might not be an MMO (and definitely isn't now), Sega takes ages going back to old games, we play a quick game of Steam Top Trumps and Fortnite ramps up their attempt at world domination. All in this bumper Christmas issue of One Life Left! Maraoke did Jingle Jam!! If you missed it, that's OK coz the lovely folks at Yogscast have put it on their YouTube channel - all 2 hours and 44 minutes of it! Link is below... There may also still be time for you to get a ticket for the Maraoke Xmas Party 2023, happening on Saturday 16th December at Loading Peckham, here: maraoke.com/xmas Will our mailbag be as full as Santa's sack by the time we return??

#529 - No Laws Broken
2023/12/06
This week stuff happened. What stuff? Well you could just listen to the episode to find out OR maybe you're reading this at some point in the future when there are thousands of OLL episodes and you're searching through the notes, trying to find something specific... Hello, listeners from the far flung future! How is your commercially viable rocket-pack? Are you living on Mars? In this episode you will find that Simon hates books, Ste talks sausages, Rockstar devs have leaky offspring, PlayStation cause a content licensing/ownership stir and Yorkshire Tea think you'll spend £150 on one of their branded controllers... WHY?? It doesn't even come with any of their teabags!! Anyway... In the latest Tales From Japan we see our intrepid pair (plus Responsible Adult) take on the Nintendo Store in full Supermarket Sweep style! Meanwhile Maraoke does Jingle Jam! On Friday 8th December at 5pm GMT (according to the Yogscast schedule) we will be LIVE on the Jingle Jam Twitch Stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/yogscast There's also a LIVE and IN PERSON Maraoke/OLL Xmas Party on Saturday 16th December at Loading Peckham and you can get your tickets here: maraoke.com/xmas Does your Mum and/or Dad work for Rockstar?

#528 - Collect Them All!
2023/11/29
Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! In this episode Ste confuses a Royal Mail employee LIVE ON AIR, Simon has a new laptop that doesn't seem as bad as strangers on the internet make it out to be, Ubisoft assassinates Assassin's Creed pop-up ads, Gamemaker goes free (for some), Fortnite to have a Big Bang, Activision watch what you watch and we ponder past PR pop-ups. Meanwhile, in a world where it seems to be getting more acceptable to put Xmas decorations up in November, we have the second of our features that absolutely nobody is calling Tales from Japan that sees our dynamic duo (plus Responsible Adult) visit an arcade. In Japan, obviously. What happened, dear listeners? I thought we were friends?? How come you don't write to us anymore?!? Why don't you send us some "media recommendations" or tell us if you know what "the dogs are barking" means at team@onelifeleft.com. Or join our friendly Discord server and drop a letter for us on there. Link below!

#527 - "Responsible" Adult
2023/11/22
Welcome back, dear listeners, to another episode of One Life Left! This week I, Phil the Undercaretaker, try not to get jealous as we hear Part I of (kind of new feature, I suppose) Tales from Japan! (I need to work on that title... it was a last minute decision...) Meanwhile we discover just who the heck Jonathan Smith is and why he's the Responsible Adult. There's also Simon in a plane toilet, Ste still being jetlagged, Charlesbot getting annoyed by Geoff Keighley, people exchange money, scalpers have love for the PS Portal, DLC thoughts and a 25 year old game gets an update! Woo! Do you play inappropriate video games in public? What is Simon paralyzed by?? Will we find out next week?!? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com. Or jump into a jet plane and fly across to our Discord to chat and leave a letter on there. Link below!

#526 - Pants +1
2023/11/08
This week we might mention that we're going to Japan. Did we mention that we're going to Japan? Well, we're going to Japan. In fact, by the time you read this we'll be up in the air or there already! Excitement!!! Anyway, besides all that, in this episode we have Simon's squeaky chair, Ste's dislike of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, an accidental bank account shutdown, a game is too hot for Microsoft and Nintendo, lots of people play Fortnite again, Lords of the Fallen gets harder and Modern Warfare gets forced on people. Kind of. How many pairs of pants do you take on holiday? How many bank accounts have you opened this week?? What are the account details and your Mum's maiden name?? Send your answers to us at team@onelifeleft.com. Regular correspondence, questions and ponderings are also welcomed. Or join our Discord and hurl love/abuse at us there. Link below!

#525 - 4.55
2023/11/01
We suffered some technical issues not of our making yet again this week, folks, so apologies in advance for any drop in quality you may experience. You'll be hearing a few apologies during the show, too, though I (Phil the Undercaretaker) will hold my hand up and say that I don't think it's all that bad. It certainly could've been worse... and, admittedly, if I'd edited out much more then all the apologies and some of the in-show comments wouldn't have made much sense so... there we go. Despite all that, we still have a bumper show for you! This week we hear about Ste's Challenging Weekend(TM), we get a cheese explosion update and Simon speculates on a Switch 2 launch date (he was right about F-Zero so get to the bookies!) We also have a big week in GTA history, Ste's cat behaves weirdly, Blizzard are out for blood, we learn how to smell like Shadow Moses Island and Simon gets so cross about Dreamlight Valley that he breaks the internet! Have you ever been sailed down the Thames as part of a PR stunt? If so then write to us at team@onelifeleft.com and tell us all about it. Regular correspondence is also welcomed. You can also join our Discord server and post a letter for us there. Link below! Remember to always use a Rawlplug, dear listeners. (Other wall plugs are available) We are not financial advisors.

Good stuff, but why do they talk funny?

It's humour, it's videogames, it's an hour a week. AND there's a news fox. That's all you need to know.

Clever, but 7 out of ten, really.
