This week on Thumb Cramps, it’s the final week of Chain4buamecube and to help say goodbye to such a beautiful event, they’re joined by the third host of the podcast and self described “Thumb Cramps Period”, Ruby Innes, to look at Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for the GameCube with a chainsaw controller, Rayman 2: The Great Escape for the Nintendo 64 for the Nintendo Switch 2 and The City of Japan for the real life. Wow. A big finale to a big, big month and we hope that one listener who wanted the boys to suffer is happy.

It’s a real normal one this week as the guests and hosts descend into insanity fuelled by weird drinks and no lunch.
This week on Thumb Cramps, it's an official live recording of the first ever fifth ever podcast recorded live from the floor of PAX where Joel Duscher and his two co-hosts Chloe Appleby and Steph Panecasio take a look at the best things they've seen during PAX Aus 2026. Thank you to our guests Jackson, Sam, Chris, Josh, Aether, Jack, Jordan, Cody, Sam, Kate, Lawson and Ethan. This one goes out to all the gamers of the world.
This week on Thumb Cramps, Demonstrober continues as the podcast celebrates beautiful demos and this time they’re joined by Darcy Smith to look at Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse DEMO for the Nintendo Switch 2, Apocalypter DEMO for the PC and World of Warcraft: Forever BETA for the PC.

This week on Thumb Cramps, it’s the first week of Demonstrober, a month dedicated to trying out demos all month long! Jackson has returned and the hosts are joined by fan favourite Adam Carnevale to look at Final Fantasy Resonance DEMO for the Nintendo Switch 2, Terrible Lizards DEMO for the PC and Seven Kingdoms DEMO for the PC. Plus an upsetting Steam reveal, a classic episode of Adam’s Deal Corner and some really good advice in the reviews section. Gaming has never been more back.
This week on Thumb Cramps, Jackson is in a plane and to fill his spot Joel is joined by co-hosts Steph Panecasio and Violet Wilkin from Good Games Morley to take a look at Marvel’s Wolverine for the PS5, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for the PS5 and Free Online Poker for the PC. The tables are turned as Joel is no longer the mean one of the podcast and we think he deserved everything cruel said to him. If you’re coming to PAX Aus make sure you come say hello to everyone and if you’re loaded why not send everyone some money too.
