One Life Left

Show Notes

Hello and welcome to another episode of One Life Left! There's no super special guest this week but there's still LOTS of good stuff including the Switch 2 selling loads, MS denying that stores are ditching Xbox, Nintendo sparking Pikmin speculation and the majority of US gamers don't buy many games - according to some stats!

We also have Simon reporting back from IndieDevDay 2025 in Barcelona, despite eating a dodgy burger, Ste reporting on last week's Maraoke, game dev struggles, auteurs in game dev and good games journalism and is it all connected?!? No, not the dodgy burger but all the other stuff. Maybe.

The letters have been brilliant recently so PLEASE keep them coming to [email protected] or hop over into our Discord and drop us a letter there. Link below!

You know the situation: you've just shopped your friends/colleagues to your bosses and have been gifted with a glorious free hour all to yourselves but don't know how to spend it? Well, worry no more because listening to the podcast edition of the longest running video game radio show (in the English language) is the answer! That's us, by the way: One Life Left.

You know the old adage: Wait ages for one Super Special Guest and then two arrive at once! Well, dear listeners, today we do indeed have TWO SSGs! We're joined in this episode by Matthew and Luke from Gilded Rune Games telling us all about life as a small indie dev company and Dupery, their latest game which is out tomorrow/Thursday 15th October!

Welcome to the longest running Celebrity Traitors radio show (podcast edition)! Only joking... or am I?!? This week we have Dan Houser avoiding GTA 6, RAM shortages continue, 8-bit handhelds delayed, OLL listeners battle via the medium of letters, AI game remixes and our intrepid hosts go and meet up with Dominik Diamond!

Sep 30, 2026

In this episode, dearest listeners, we have life being too short to grind in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Sony taking payments through their controllers, Rockstar peddle collector's editions without games and the war of football games continues! We also cover the recent Game Anglia Direct 2026 and ponder will GTA 6 change everything?!?

Sep 23, 2026

This week we have Ste encouraging bad behaviour, Simon having a wee next to someone famous, WD40 seemingly working and then not, crunch time (again), the GTA 6 soundtrack, God of War "not exciting", Nighthawks "not filth" and a grown adult man lets his child wrack up a huge debt on his company credit card. Yep. Oh, it's video game related, though.
