Have a very fizzy day

This week, based almost entirely on the fact that we have been enjoying Rio Tropicale (other fizzy drinks are available) the Electronic Wireless Showpodcastis doing an episode all about our favourite drinks in games! We didn’t think we’d manage to get a whole show out of it, but boy did we.

Also tune in to learn about Matthew’s new (and extremely one-sided) rivalry with an Olympic swimmer, a cavern of lies featuring bar tender Ed Harris, and a digression so self-indulgent we talk about how self-indulgent we are, and decide thatit is a good thing.

LinksNate likes the mana potions in the originalDiablo, and we have a discussion about what we think they might taste like.

The Witcher 3 has loads of weird potions. Matthew reckons the most annoying one is the see in the dark one. Also, there is a lot of booze inThe Witcher 3.

Nate brings up the different shapes and colours of potions inSkryim. Which bottle do we most vibe with?

Nuka Cola is an iconic drink in theFalloutuniverse. I reckon it tasts like own brand cola, but Matthew thinks a luxury one like Fentimans.

Matthew forever associates both grog and root beer withMonkey Island. He also likes the gold leaf liqueur you drink inGrim Fandango.

Shout out to the unlikely energy drink Monster that Hideo Kojima made up forDeath Stranding.

Conversely, no respect whatsoever to the “Shirley Templar” as referenced inAssassin’s Creed Revelations.

Matthew likes the fake drink brands that you can hoof cans of inHitman, like Dr Pop and Thwack.

Game-themed cocktails in The Cavern Of Lies this week are viaThe Drunken Moogle.

Recommendationsthis week are the new fantasy epic TV showWheel Of Time, extremely long video essayThe Failure Of Victorious, and to try a cheddar and kimchee sandwich.
