Worms 1 was my first game, and I whilst I enjoyed it at the time, it really really hasn't held up well. Armageddon is the superior Worms title I reckon.

Putting Worms in ahead of Hogs of War is like saying you prefer Sonic Boom to Super Mario Galaxy, or Bluestone 42 to Gary Tank Commander, or Adolf Hitler to Mahatma Gandhi. It's the new Red Steel 90%.

It's like saying you prefer a through-the-trousers handy behind the bike sheds to a night of passionate love-making in your private sex dungeon under the docks.

My private sex dungeon is behind the bike sheds. #ChristianBeige

It's all fun and games until the roof caves in.

People actually enjoy playing stressful games, huh? Yes, I enjoy the odd tense moment, but I mostly play games to relax. The description of (I think) XCEU from (I think) Drunka sounded like my idea of hell.

Also - sorry for the delay with this one, chaps. We made the decision at the end of the last to only record when we were in the same room and I've been swamped with mag business and unable to meet up with the guys. We're trying to get one up every two weeks at a minimum. Still, nice to know that people are actually listening to the thing!

What was the thinking behind this? Asking for a friend...a friend called me.

Just listened to TRP13 and yet to experience any bad luck, which is good. I enjoyed the 100% True Facts section, mainly because of the idea of Rainbow Samus. That should be an alternative costume for Super Smash Bros. Neighbours Dispute Over The Lawn Mower.

Cracking SSB name. I liked the idea of fighting against Emperor ING Bank Manager myself.

I noticed that the latest digital edition of OXM now has an audio commentary. Maybe that explains the lack of recent TRP - everyone's doing that instead

TRP14. Have at it! I'm not in a position to listen to it until tonight, so no spoilers!

That's today's gym session sorted

Ace! It's a long one, too - I can get two walks into work out of that!

Just listened, I can't think what to put forward next Episode.

MPT was robbed again! But not burned.

Next episode is a shoe-in for the Hotel Dusks, surely?

That's an interesting one, not sure I'd have thought of them as point and click.

Hotel Dusk is visual novel.

I do remember Andy saying about TWD etc which I don't think they really are compared to what they used as examples but I've heard others say there the evolution of the genre that I did tweet them asking if it counts but the reply.

Otherwise I can't think of anything else as things like Secret of Monkey Island past me right by.

Just saw on Twitter - the next TRP's on its way!

It's landed!

Well my choice of The Wolf Among Us didn't even get a mention.

But I wish I played what I'm playing at the moment for review Broken Age (Got a code on Monday), which is a classic proper point & click game.

I was surprised to see this return after the disastrous Hogs of War debacle ("Hogsgate"). Nintendo saying 'nah, you're all right mate' to Sony's PlayStation was a better decision than that.

I will listen again. That said, all wounds heal in time, but scars remain.

I submitted Game of Thrones and that got ignored too, so I imagine they weren't counting TTs recent games

They said they counted as I tweeted them and got a reply, I said I'm not 100% sure if they count but some (like you Andy) have said there the evolution of the genre.

So as I've played Zero(Jones) point & clicks I went for The Wolf Among Us but as we know they all went and the ones they brought up for classic proper point & clicks which TT games aren't.

I hope they do a interactive week which things like the TT games, Heavy Rain maybe even Gone Home etc will fall under.

New episode up!

Good listen, as always. Chuffed to bits that instead of an ill-advised stealth section, you all now get to remember me during the opening sections of Wind Waker.

What? Another one?! I'm only just listening to TRP 15... also, ZeroJones, 0 - Jimbob, 1. *narrows eyes*
