Free For All Podcast

This podcast is no longer being produced. For your latest fix check out The VideoGamer.com Podcast.

Are you keen to hear our thoughts on the latest games, industry news and skirmishes from the Console Wars? If so, you probably want to listen to Back On Topic, our sister show. It's presented by the sexalicious Martin Gaston, and it's really rather good.

If, on the other hand, you want to listen to four idiots tooling around in an attic for 60 minutes, you've come to the right place. Free For All is our latest podcast - an hour-long exercise in banter, falsehoods, and open abuse. Join James, Martin, Neon and Tom P as they skim over the week's events before flying off on improbable tangents. The discussion may touch upon video games from time to time, but for reasons that aren't quite clear, we'll probably end up chatting about farm animals.

Oh, and if you're feeling really brave, you can ask the team's advice through our new Uncles of Agony service. You can post your problems in this thread, or get in touch via [email protected]

But don't forget, this is a Free For All. Around here, anything goes...
