Wutang for the XBOX ONE, before the boys speculate for way too long on what the mystery SEGA announcement’s going to be…

TMA 217 – The Plastic Stack

tma.jpg

A wild podcast appeared! Go Tom & Mat! Mat used talk about Pokémon Go, Judgement and Ace Combat 7. It’s not very effective. Tom is confused. Tom used discuss the Mega Drive Mini (and it’s little peripherals), Yoku’s Island Express, Call of Duty 4 and sorting out game collections. Mat fainted. The podcast ran out of useable conversation topics. The podcast blacked out…

TMA 215 – “We’re not going to talk about E3…”

On a long overdue TMA, the boys talk about what they’ve been upto and about some video games! Mat Platinum’d Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight despite his lack of rhyme, beat DOA6‘s story and realised he doesn’t like Mortal Kombat. Tom on the other hand went back to beat DOA5′s story and played a hell of a lot of Team Sonic Racing. Beyond that, the boys get into some in-depth Death Stranding talk and Mat can’t wait for the Playdate!
