Podcast: June Halloween specialListener beware, you’re in for a scare

Listener beware, you’re in for a scare

This week we got an email from listener Tom from Melbourne, who suggested that it would be fun for us to talk about the scariest games we’ve all played. Would it, Tom? WOULD IT? What sort of pervs enjoy being afraid? Well, many people, obviously, so we thought Tom’s suggestion was a good one. A lot of games come up, fromThe Evil Withinto Soma to Chronicles Of Riddick.

You’ll be pleased to know that this podcast (which is episode 98 despite the fact I say 97, okay? It’s 98. Just ignore it) contains a healthy dose of inter-cast banter. In particular, this week sees some shots fired between VidBud Matthew and Nate. Nate is obviously feeling feisty after recovering from his illness. This week, in lieu of a game testing Alice and Matthew, he presents a Five Nights At Freddy’s trivia package. We’ve also made a commitment to read one of the FNAF novelisations and will each be delivering a book report next week…
