Show Notes
As we're away this week we'd thought we'd put out a normally Patreon-exclusive episode of Hidden Cache. We'll be back next week with brand-new, box-fresh content.
After the excessive blowout of the main awards show, it’s time for the Boys to kick back and relax in a Patreon-exclusive VIP area of the Hidden Cache nightclub.
If you thought the awards were done, think again, as Pierre, Sarah and Glenn keep dishing them out left, right and centre. Sarah reveals their true feelings about Split Fiction, Glenn fesses up to his addiction and Pierre tries to get to the bottom of Glenn’s RNG aflussy.
And that’s not it: the results are in from our Stud Farm substitute playthrough poll, so make sure to tune in to find out which game the Boys will be taking on next!y
Remember, the conversation continues over on our Discord! You can find the video of each week's main podcast on YouTube.
Follow along with the Button Boys on Instagram or TikTok for highlights, behind-the-scenes and future podcast announcements.
If you have any suggestions of topics to cover please let us know either here on Patreon, via our social media above or by emailing [email protected]. We'd love to hear from you!

More from Button Boys
We've all had one of those days: just missing the bus, stepping in a deep puddle, pissing ourselves a little bit. But none of us have had the kinds of days that gaming protagonists routinely face. From severed limbs to shipwrecks, we subject our digital avatars to the worst possible experiences.
Much like side streets, side arms, side tables, side dishes and sidemen, can provoke surprisingly strong feelings. This week we're going off the beaten track, ignoring the main objective and tackling the good, the bad and the ugly of secondary storylines. We've got drunken foolery, farting pigs and complete letdowns. But enough about the hosts, on with the podcast!
This week the Boys try to settle the debate raging across the country: which historical or futuristic period makes the best setting for a game? From early symbolic thought through to space travel across the outer reaches of the universe, gaming covers every era, but which one suits it best?
This week's topic is all about the maggot in the apple, the flaw in the diamond, the suspicious stain on the clean-smelling underwear. That's right, it's the parts of otherwise great games that we hate. Disgusting sound effects, tedious intros, impossible tasks and unfamiliar mechanics have all weaselled their way in to the Boys' all-time favourites.
If you missed out on the first ever Button Boys LIVE, don't worry, we remembered to record it! This week, the Boys had to pitch their worst-ever game ideas to an audience at Leicester Square Theatre. After a few minor technical hitches, Sarah came straight out of the gates with an avian-themed game for the gerontophiles among us, Pierre set out his vision for a drone-controlled dating sim and Glenn's idea... well, I think you need to hear it for yourself.
