- Never Be Game Over Feb 11 · 1h 36m 26. 'A Plague Tale - Innocence' (PS4, 2019)RATS - it's exactly what you likely exclaimed when you realised that this damn podcast was returning and you were obligated to keep listening. But fear not, as we return with the fury of a million plague ridden RATS, which you better pray we can control with our mind! RATS.0 comments0
- 25. What’s the weirdest thing we’ve done in a game?Murdered a baby penguin in front of its mother? Taken a suspiciously large amount of Ellie photos in the ‘Last of Us’ remake? Intentionally let the theme of your hospital be ‘you’re covered in rats and piss’? Let’s face it, gaming has allowed us to all do some pretty weird things over the years, unleashing our darkest inner selves, revealing their Exorcist-like faces to the world. Here’s our weirdest.0 comments0
- Which character should become our 4th podcast host?Let's be honest, it's clear this podcast is treading water. Taking *on* water. It's time for new blood. Just like sometimes you have to add Danny DeVito to a show to make it the best thing in existence, we're not so proud that we can't admit that our podcast is a real turd - and the only answer is new personnel. So, join us, as we have a tense roundtable to decide which games character we think has what it takes to join the elite team of Never Be Game Over hosts0 comments0
- Never Be Game Over Aug 5 · 1h 51m 20. 'GoldenEye 007' (N64, 1997)Sega may have done what Nintendon’t but it turns out that what Nintendidn’t was shit their business down the pan by not making a weirdly off-brand adaptation of a film franchise about an assassin who smashes cocktails, smashes ladies and smashes the plans of megalomaniacs worldwide. Yep, we come to a weird granddaddy here, a game that, all things being equal, should never have achieved the level of success and cultural cache it did - but we are where we are, so join the lads on a journey back to the late nineties, when it was apparently okay to release game adaptations of films two years after their cinema release.0 comments0
- 19. Games that made us cryYou know, you’ve gotta stop bottling things up, dude. There’s no shame in just letting it come out every once in awhile, just letting those tears well up until they flow down your face and cleanse you right to the SOUL. We make the choice to feel our feelings - as we discuss our top moments in gaming that have made us drop a tear (or indeed several)0 comments0
- 18. 'Metal Gear Solid 2 - Sons of Liberty' (PlayStation 2, 2001)Our 2nd series is here - and naturally it must start in the most obvious possible way, as we start as we mean to go on - with a frankly intolerable amount of references to Metal Gear! We can only pray you'll forgive them in an episode directly about one of the games, so get ready to meet the president-pussy grabber, to need some scissors, and travel naked through the colon.0 comments0
- 17. Looking back at the Series 1 scoresShame. Regret. Self-reflection. All things that we feel when looking back at our 'distinguished' Hall of Fame for our first series. We cast our eyes back over our rankings, our insane scores and the flimsy justifications for them. Just how much sorrow can three men feel in one sitting?0 comments0
- 16. 'Death Stranding' (PS4, 2019)It was inevitable, really. With at least one of us unable to go five minutes without referring to Metal Gear, we were only ever going to be ending our first series with one game. So, is old Hideo going to come through for us with some weird, charming, nonsensical, compelling, incoherent bullshit? Well, there's a reason he's called 'the man who delivers'!0 comments0
- 15. What power-up would you most want in real life?A toot of cocaine before that big meeting. A belt of whiskey before your child's christening. A tab of LSD before sitting down to watch 'Cats' (2019). Life is constantly being improved by little helpers here and there - but which little helpers, or 'powering-ups', from gaming would we most like to have in our own lives?0 comments0
- Never Be Game Over Apr 30 · 1h 45m 14. 'Shenmue' (Dreamcast, 1998)Video games! They allow us to make the impossible a reality. To throw us into worlds we could never previously have imagined. To make us experience things far outside the realm of our own lives. To allow us to distract ourselves from our job as a…forklift driver by…playing darts?0 comments0
- 13. 'Super Mario 64' (N64, 1996)Happy birthday, Mario! Yes, as the title declares, superb Mario is now 64 years old, and much like Tom Cruise in a Mission: Impossible movie, he’s still throwing himself around with the reckless abandon of a 20 year old. Join us as we discuss one of the most important video games of all time and prepare yourself for some truly preposterous scoring on the part of Sam, the new wildcard.0 comments0
- 12. Which game character would you most like to publicly slap?Let's face it - sometimes someone does something, says something, something so outrageous, so beyond the pale, so unnacceptable, that your only recourse is to give them a good hard public slap. Just so they know that that shit is not cricket. So join us, as we ready up our strikin' palm, and let you know which game characters are most cruising for a very public bruising.0 comments0
- 11. 'The Last of Us' (PS3, 2013)Goddamn, get ready to go on a journey with this one, dear listener. Two of the hosts of this podcast are sane, rational men willing to have normal responses to things they encounter. But only one is able to stake out the position of describing encountering a game that he has come to love dearly that he also considers to be almost unplayable. Join us - and reveal the maniac in our midst.0 comments0
- 10. What's the worst thing a game has ever made you do?Endlessly trot back and forth for bullshit trinkets? Throw you into a battle that you've been given scant instructions for? Literally stab a baby? Let's be honest, games have made us all do some terrible things in our time, both inside of them...and sadly sometimes outside of them. So join us, dear listener, as we turn over the rock and peer into the abyss of wriggling, crawling indignities and ask - what is the worst thing a game has ever made us do?0 comments0
- 9. 'Warframe' (PS4, 2013)Suit up, me ‘owd Tenno and get stuck into that fight - time to frag some Gringotts! Yes, dear listener, you’re in for a wild ride this week as we dive into Warframe - the game that features the absolute biggest delta between the amount of time that we have spent on it and our almost complete lack of understanding of what is happening within it. Grab your gleep-glorp, engage the neutraxaliser and get ready to do battle - for the glory of the Tekkens!0 comments0
- Never Be Game Over Mar 1 · 1h 2m 8. Who is the SEXIEST non-human in video games?*saxophone music begins* Oh, heyyyy there. Be careful with this one, listeners. Let’s be honest, people love the podcast, they say it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to them. But if we hear one thing again and again about the pod, it’s that it’s not quite SEXY enough! Now, it’s pretty sexy. But is it SEXY enough? If even one person called it into question, we’d have to do something, and we have - by spending a whole episode letting down our families, our loved ones and indeed ourselves, as we try and get to the bottom of the eternal question - WHO is the sexiest non-human in video games?0 comments0
- 7. 'Tekken' (PlayStation, 1995)Ah, the good old days! When men were men and CEOs tested their child’s business acumen by throwing them off cliffs. When you could put on a fighting tournament and there were none of these snowflakes complaining about fairness, bleating about ‘what do you mean I have to fight a robot man’ or ‘wait, that other robot man has a sword’. Join us, won’t you, as we return to those halcyon days of the late nineties and plunge into the richest Game World that we’ve yet encountered0 comments0
- 6. Be Over mini - Is Mario happy?He’s the hero we deserve, but not the hero we need. More immediately recognisable than Mickey Mouse. Alleged gorilla jailer. Eternal simp. Endless fountain of optimism and excitement…or is he? Simply put, when we peek behind his constant whooping and hollering, his somewhat fixed grin, his seemingly heroic desire to rid the world of evil, what do we find? To be frank, is Mario happy?0 comments0
- 5. 'The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild' (Switch, 2017)Oho - shit’s getting serious now! After ‘SpideyMans PS4’ made such an impact on our scores last time, we’re not making things any easier for ourselves by diving into a game that, rumour has it, did quite well upon its release a hard-to-fathom five years ago. This episode has it all, Nintendo devotees, Nintendo sceptics, and one man’s quest to deal with the terror of lifting up a rock and finding a tiny, but very alive, screeching leaf man who offers you his…poo?0 comments0
- 4. Be Over mini - What console would we save in the inevitable humans v. robots war?Want to learn more about who the hell we are? How do we know each other? Why are we doing this? What year is it? Find the answer to possibly some of these questions as we begin our first Be Over mini episode, where we break format from our usual ranking and have a more general or hypothetical gaming discussion. This time - if we had a gun to our heads (harpoon or otherwise), what console would we save to comfort and entertain us during the inevitable human v. robots war?0 comments0
