    Welcome to another episode of the podcast edition of One Life Left, the world's longest running radio show about video games (in the English language)! This week Mark Cerny personally congratulates Simon and Ste might be on a list but never mind that - we have an SSG! We're joined by Luke Caspar Pearson, Associate Professor and Co-Director of Cinematic and Videogame Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. He's here to talk about his new book "Videogame Architecture: Building Virtual Spaces" - a book so big that it won't even fit on an Ikea Kallax shelf! (Other shelving systems are available). Other topics this week include the recent Nintendo Direct, Tetris vs Trump, Resident Evil movie comedy cuts and a Skyrim X Ikea mashup. Another Ikea mention?! Do we want sponsorship from them?? Six years! Six years I've been writing these! You'd think I'd be better at it by now! A letter is like a creative part of your very soul and we want you to feed them to us!! That's right, feed your souls to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and leave some tasty letters for us to consume on there. Link below!

    The new season of One Life Left starts here! Don't know who we are?? Well, we're only the world's longest running video game radio show in the English language, that's what! This is the podcast edition of said radio show. Hello! Don't let the fact that we have 618 previous episodes (not including specials) behind us scare you. Jump aboard! The main things to remember are it's the hope that kills you, it's always never F-Zero, fewer not less and 7/10 is the only review score. Your hosts are Ste Curran and Simon Byron. Simon's mic is usually better than in this episode and it will be sorted. I am the Undercaretaker, a shadowy figure who mostly writes nonsense that sometimes touches on things that actually happened in the show. With that in mind, a link to the OLL Discord is HERE. Please don't try to scam us. This week our intrepid hosts talk about their Summer arcade experiences, Deal!, eclipses, GTA6 (of course!), Xbox capping the cloud, how Sonic gets away with using guns (and what else he could possibly now get up to...), Sony/Digital/"own" vs "licence" continuing shenanigans and the Lego PlayStation! We also talk about gamescom 2026 (yes it is all lower case) and, of course, Maraoke! Speaking of Maraoke: Reading this before Friday 11th September 2026? Got any plans for Friday 11th September 2026? No? Well you do now! Come to Maraoke at Loading Bar, Stoke Newington, LONDON at 7pm and JOIN US! Find out more details HERE! Do you want a refund despite the fact that you're getting this for free? Or want to write us a letter in case there's a chance of winning a prize, or just out of the goodness of your heart?!? Well then send something to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and leave us a letter and/or chat to us there! Link above AND below!

    ...For Summer! It's End of Term but rather than watch films in our own clothes all day while the teachers neck vodkas in the staff room we decided we'd smack one more episode out of the park for YOU! So this week we briefly gloss over the football, despite EA being right again, and discuss yet more physical media axing shenanigans (that GameStop doesn't care about), CoD lobby 'banter', a Mii return, The Charles Cecil Patented Sleep Technique and what exactly is a Tōkon, Gillen?? There's also Summer Holiday plans, definitely not a review of Pragmata but you do get a brief review of Develop:Brighton, using Wiki to read the plots of things we can't be bothered to watch/play/read/continue with (if it's not already been called this then I'm starting here: WikiSkipping!), Andy Burnham's plans for gaming and, AND, a load of your blooming lovely letters!! Thank you, all! So, yes, it's now the Summer Holidays and you'll have to amuse yourselves until we return in September but please don't be strangers! You can still write letters/send e-postcards to us at team@onelifeleft.com or keep in touch with us and other OLL listeners on our Discord! Link below!

It's not just shadow dropped but it's shadow dropped into early access and he's here to tell us all about it! Meanwhile Simon gets dragged to the Houses of Parliament for beers with Kier, Ste doesn't go to the cricket and we all talk about Summer Game Fest 2026, another ROG Ally, David Yarnton spinning a yarn about Gizmondo, Wolverine being a bit stabby and Tifa? Tifa! I dunno... We managed to get two letters this week - can we get three for next week from you? Come on, we know you can do it, dear listeners!!

    2026/07/15
    ... until it isn't - which may be the case on Wednesday evening, after this podcast has been released onto an unsuspecting world, but at the time of me writing this IT is very much in a state of STILL maybe COMING HOME. Obviously I'm talking about football. Football. It's coming home... On that note, welcome once again to the podcast edition of the world's longest running video game radio show, in the English language, One Life Left! This week we ponder Develop week party options, last minute meeting requests, football (obviously), EU not stopping Sony, Xbox getting battered in Brazil, a Steam refunds tantrum, LEGO loving Donkey Kong, Isabelle Rodriquez (who are you??) and much RESPEC!! Can't help but notice we got ZERO letters this week - was it too hot to write, maybe, dearest listeners?? That's absolutely no excuse - I manage to write consistently poorly in all weathers! Was the threat of us deleting all your games not enough?? Good grief... Well you have One Week Left (of this season) to get your letters to us before we all jet off on our Summer hols!! Send them to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord, have a natter, play some Vanity Projects and drop us a letter there! Link below!

    Welcome to another episode of One Life Left, dear listeners! This week Simon recognised his children for the first time in ages while Ste killed the games industry YET AGAIN! Yet he's still allowed to walk around as a free man! The police do nothing these days, etc etc... We also discuss GTA6 still being 'on course', the Steamdeck price hike, Soccer Kid returning in time for the World Cup and Geralt returning in time for... erm... in time to remind people that Witcher 3 is still a game you can purchase, probably. Meanwhile Ste gives us a run down of his recent trip to Nordic Gamer and we all battle with Simon's mic issues - sorry, listeners! Come on, write us some more letters! Please!
