So they watched 8-Bit Christmas, a movie about a kid trying to get an NES at Christmas. It was pretty good.

Preview - The Lads Watch All The Lord of The Rings Films

Mon, 10 May 2021 14:25:38 +0200

Mark and Andy are massive Tolkien nerds, they've read all the books, watched all the films, and like to geek out about the lore of Middle Earth. Nick, however, fell asleep several times in the first film and doesn't know his Orcs from his Uruk-hai. So we're making him watch all three films. The extended cuts. And then talking about them for far too long.

Extrasode: Rampage Commentary

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 20:47:24 +0200

Andy has had a lot of bad ideas over the years, but this might be the worst one.

Join the team as they play "International Crime Fighting Circles" Top Trumps and watch as the Silver Surfer appears on "If You Can’t Pay, We Take It Away"...

What's this? What's this?
There's podcasts everywhere
What's this?
There's top tens in the air
What's this?

I can't believe my ears
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Mark, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
This podcast's very long
What's this?
And so we split it up
To save your ears
And fill the gap
Until next year
What is this? What is this?

(Please don't sue us Danny Elfman)

Yes it's that time of year again when the whole LGR crew gather round the fire, drink sherry, scoff mince pies, and talk about the best games we played this year. Enjoy!

LGR: Episode 43 - Fave Games Played in 2016 Special (Part Two)

Tue, 17 Jan 2017 08:59:28 +0100

Finally....

The Time Has Come…

Drumroll…

In this special show (the second of two instalments) the entire podcasting team get together to discuss their favourite games played in 2016. Join Mark, Cev, Lee, Andy, Stuart N, Adam, Ali and Stuart C... It’s time to see what gets the silver and the gold...

As you will know by now, valued listener, we are not a typical videogame podcast: LGR is comprised of a varied bunch of folks and game players, so expect diversity among the games featured on our lists. By our very nature we are lapsed gamers, and therefore, as with last year’s fave games played special, these games are our top games we have played over the past twelve months, not necessarily games that first came out in 2016. So both older titles and the new are represented across our lists. Plus, we hope to post our individual picks for 10 to 6 on the LGR site in the near future for your reading pleasure.

Thank you for tuning-in once again and here’s to another year of collectively keeping the hobby alive for is all. We’d love for you to get involved, so please do send us an email - lapsedgamerradio@gmail.com - about what you’re playing or not finding time to play, any feedback on our podcast or if you’d like to be on a future episode with us.

LGR 2016: Episode 36 - Resident Evil 4

Mon, 31 Oct 2016 10:42:14 +0100

Welcome listeners to our second horror themed special for Halloween, hot on the hellish heels of our Ballyhoo! SILENT HILL movie double-bill. Today it’s another entry in our Playlist series where the team play-through an older game and give our thoughts and feelings about it. On this episode Andy, Mark, Adam & Stuart fend off zombies and rescue Ashley in the critically acclaimed RESIDENT EVIL 4.

RESIDENT EVIL 4, known in Japan as ‘Biohazard 4’, is a survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom. The sixth major installment in the ‘Resident Evil’ series, the game was originally released for the GameCube in North America and Japan in January 2005, and in Europe and Australia in March 2005. The story of RESIDENT EVIL 4 follows the U.S. government special agent Leon S. Kennedy, who is sent on a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the U.S. President's daughter who has been kidnapped by a sinister cult. Traveling to a rural area of Spain, Leon fights hordes of violent villagers and reunites with the mysterious spy Ada Wong.

WARNING: In case you’ve not yet played this game please be aware that spoilers abound as we traverse the numerous settings within the game and talk about the story-line as it unfolds.

During our discussions we reference a couple of YouTube videos and links for these are as below:

LGR 2016: Episode 35 - Ballyhoo! Silent Hill and Silent Hill: Revelation

Fri, 28 Oct 2016 11:00:00 +0200

Welcome listeners to another instalment of Ballyhoo! Our spin-off series where we look at other forms of media connected to gaming properties. In celebration of Halloween we’re talking horror movies, so join Cev, Lee, Andy and community guest Nick @Laneit360 Jones as they visit the eerie town of Silent Hill as envisaged by filmmakers Christophe Gans (SILENT HILL, 2006) and Michael J. Bassett (SILENT HILL: REVELATION, 2012).

With the continuous shouts of “Sharon!” still ringing in our ears, what will we make of these silver screen adaptations of Konami’s famous survival horror franchise? Can we fathom the mystery of the desolate fog/hellish nightmare cycle which grips Silent Hill? We certainly couldn’t comprehend Sean Bean’s American accent. Precisely what is going on with Sharon/Heather/Alessa now all grown-up and the star? Hang on a second, isn’t that Jon Snow? All this and more as we review SILENT HILL and SILENT HILL: REVELATION. Happy Halloween!

WARNING: In case you’ve not yet had the (mis)pleasure of watching these movies for yourself, please beware spoilers abound as we revel in their oneiric haze and on occasion lose ourselves in the thick mist of their absence of logic.

LGR 2016: Episode 31 - The Sonic the Hedgehog "Trilogy"

Sun, 25 Sep 2016 09:00:00 +0200

Welcome back to another LGR PlayList episode. Today it’s all about the gold rings as we race through every level of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive classics SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 1 + 2, before briefly touching upon SONIC 3 + KNUCKLES along with the everlasting legacy of Sega’s spikey blue blur mascot. For this 16-bit, nostalgia infused show, our resident Sonic fanboy Adam Ducker is joined by the ageing and somewhat slower speedsters Stuart Neill and Lee Howard.

WARNING: The discussion on this episode covers the entirety of all three games and includes key details on the levels and boss fights of each zone. So beware of spoilers when listening.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG was released in 1991 and remains one of the best selling games ever, helped in part by it being bundled with purchases of the Genesis/Mega Drive console. This success elevated the creators Yuji Naka and Naoto OhshimaIt to Sega royalty and they changed the name of their development team to ‘Sonic Team’ in recognition of this breakthrough title.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 introduced Miles "Tails" Prower and was released worldwide on November 24th, 1992. Dubbed "Sonic 2sday," the simultaneous release was an unusual move for the time. The game eventually replaced the original SONIC THE HEDGEHOG as the default pack-in title for the Genesis/Mega Drive, being bundled with the redesigned Mega Drive II model (which reportedly had an inferior sound chip).

Useful reference: ‘Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation’ by Blake J Harris (ISBN 978-0062276698) is available in Hardback, Paperback, Audio and all popular digital formats.

SONIC 3 was released in February 1994, as a standalone release and was well-received. Significantly, this was soon followed by SONIC AND KNUCKLES in October of that same year. The two games were originally intended to be a single game. However, due to time constraints and the cost of a large-memory-capacity cartridge, Sega split the game into two. Notably, this two parts of one game, saw the introduction of series stalwart Knuckles the Echidna.

LGR 2016: Episode 26 - Ballyhoo! Fables - Vol. 1 (Legends in Exile)

Sun, 21 Aug 2016 18:45:14 +0200

Welcome again to LGR Ballyhoo! Our spin-off series where we look at other forms of media connected to gaming properties. Put on your reading glasses and join Lee, Mark, Andy and Adam, as we follow-up on our recent enjoyment of TellTale’s THE WOLF AMONG US by reading the first volume of ‘Fables’: the comic book series written by Bill Willingham and published by Vertigo.

WARNING: The discussion on this episode covers the entire five-issue story arc of Fables: Volume One (Legends in Exile) and will touch on many key plot details. So beware spoilers when listening and when reading the notes below.

The Fables comic book series was first published in July 2002 and finished its current run in July 2015 spanning 150 issues. In this first volume we step into a strange but familiar world: the ordinary human life of contemporary New York shares an unknown parallel existence with the characters of fantasy and fairytale. Driven from their homelands by an enemy known as ‘The Adversary’, Snow White, Bigby Wolf, Bluebeard, Prince Charming, Beauty and the Beast plus many more ‘fables’ have established a secret community known as Fabletown.

However, instead of living happily ever after turmoil comes to Fabletown when Snow’s sister, Rose Red, is feared to be the victim of foul play. Who Killed Rose Red? That’s the question Sheriff Bigby (and our seasoned team of LGR amateur sleuths) investigate to uncover the truth at the heart of this fantastical mystery.

Music and audio sampled in this episode comes from the original soundtracks of "Tale Of Tales" by Alexandre Desplat and "The Wolf Among Us" by Jared Emerson-Johnson. Also "School At Night" by Goblin, "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?" by Henry Hall and "Tosh" (Mosh) by Fluke.

LGR 2016: Episode 24 - Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Fri, 05 Aug 2016 20:23:24 +0200

... Not the Lapsed Gamer Radio crew!

Welcome back to another LGR PlayList episode. Under investigation this time is TellTale’s THE WOLF AMONG US, so please join the residents of Fabletown and have a howling good time with our wolfpack Sheriff, Lee, and his lycanthrope deputies Cev, Mark, Andy, Ali ‘Corn Wolf’ and Stuart ‘Furry’ Cullen.

WARNING: The discussion on this episode covers the entire game and includes many key plot details. So beware spoilers when listening and when reading the notes below.

Following the critical and popular success of their first graphic narrative adventure game THE WALKING DEAD, TellTale games developed and published THE WOLF AMONG US inspired by the Fables comic book series by Bill Willingham. As has become their trademark, these episodic TellTale game series modernise the LucasArts point and click adventure games of old, foregrounding story, character interaction and player choices over intricate puzzle-based gameplay. Albeit with sporadic action-oriented, quick time events.

In this tale, the player takes on the role of Bigby Wolf, formerly the Big Bad Wolf, the Sheriff of Fabletown, a hidden community of fairy tale characters located in 1980s New York City. After the shocking murder of a young woman, the safety of this clandestine populace is put at risk and Bigby Wolf soon finds that vice, corruption and civil unrest are the bedfellows of bloodshed.

The first episode was originally released in October, 2013 with the remaining four instalments following in 2014. THE WOLF AMONG US is now readily available across multiple platforms, to be played in its entirety, so how does this adventure rank among the TellTale canon and is this a mystery worth investing the time to solve? Stay tuned to find out.
