Time Played: 3hr

This episode is incredibly scary. Both Lochie and Louis say the word 'spooky' at least three times each. But how can they not when talking about Alien Isolation? It's just so darn spooky.

This week we discard the entire premise of this dumb show because we ran out of time to actually play the video game we wanted to talk about. Oddly enough, we still found time to play a bunch of other video games. So instead Louis shares his love/hate relationship with the Gran Turismo series and the recently released Gran Turismo Sport, much to Lochies disinterest. Lochie can't help but talk about League Of Legends for the third week in a row, whilst Louis holds back groans. They finally settle on The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of the Wild (typing that is a pain) as something they can both enjoy. Also something is wrong with Louis' windows...

We talk about the joys of running in the cult classic Mirrors edge. We lament how the series never really figured out just how good it was and try desperately not to compare it to it’s sequel.

This week we're talking about 'Where The Goats Are'. A game about milking goats and reading letters. If only Louis had played just a little bit more he'd know it was about a bit more than that... We discuss games that force you into a routine, the game service itch.io and the impact an ending can have on the overall experience of a game.

We’ve each spent over 3hrs and £300 on our new Nintendo Switches this week, so we may as well do a podcast about it... What have we been playing? Just how tiny are those tiny controllers and where the hell is the gosh darn menu music? Find out in this weeks episode of Timeplayed: 3hr.

This week Louis plays The Binding Of Isaac for 3 hours to try to figure out how in the world Lochie has played it for 800. They talk about player progression, religion in games but mostly Louis bludgeons Lochie with questions to find out about all the little secrets his measly 3hr playtime couldn't possibly answer.

We're getting artsy this week in Passpartout: The Starving Artist. Lochie slathered his pixel canvas with calming beach scenes in an attempt to please the detestable Benjamin, whilst Louis got increasingly frustrated at everyones distain for his love of the colour pink.

A real great ep where the boys go back and play Just Cause 2, a A+ classic in our eyes. A slight change to set up where we both get involved with something we've played before. With talk about putting all your eggs in one basket and works wonders.

We back. Lochie plays Quadrilateral Cowboy; a game you where code your way through puzzles to pull off heists. A cool game but the boys have some conflicting views.

Another week has passed. Three more hours have been spent. This week, Lochie urged Louis to get back to Undertale, he has happily obliged and has lots to gush about. Though, most of the time he spends just trying to explain what Undertale actually is.

The one you've all been waiting for, but also we've been waiting for as it was delayed a week; The Last of Us - Left Behind. Lochie finally plays it after years of Louis suggesting it. We talk about the character chit-chat and player control that makes The Last of Us feel great. As well as the real good and the annoying things that make up the Left behind DLC.

It's a curve ball ep and you're all in for a treat, Lochie talks about the good time that is Slime rancher. Left behind has been pushed back as Louis wasn't here this week, so its a solo episode with Loch. Enjoy

Settle in friends, with holidays over, Lochie and Louis rejoin over skype for a fresh new 3hr. After a couple weeks of solo podcasts; we're here talking about Valve's original Half-Life. With the future looking good, Lochie and Louis talk about how fast Freeman is and games that have great sound effects.

So, you're in Vietnam. You're standing among friends looking over the Red River; the sun dances just for you. You turn to your boys, a sense of peace finally settling in their eyes, and speak, 'I'm sorry, I promised I would.' You turn and head to find a quiet room. The boys... they'll understand. You open up the voice recording application on your smartphone, click the inviting red button, and begin to speak. You're not sure if this is good, but you know it's necessary. This week Lochie is talking about EverWing, a free to play game that he doesn't seem to like but is morbidly curious about its baffling business model.

Lochie is back for one week only(!) to talk about Titan Souls, the only way to get your Shadow of The Colossus fix in 2017. IF you don't mind the odd load and pointless backtracking.

Is it possible to talk about how boring loading screens are without oneself being boring? I'm not so sure. This week Louis is all on his ownsome and decides to use this time to ruminate on the recently released Prey by Arkane Studios. He touches on the value of the 'immersive sim', upgrade trees that get forgotten and yes, loading screens.

Louis gets Lochie talking about one of his all time favs; Metal Gear Solid. It gets them talking about voice acting, the value of backtracking and just how impossible it is to name the best in the series.

Louis plays Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, a classic from Lochie's childhood. Presuming it will be rubbish, Louis is pleasantly surprised.

Lochie and Louis play some Factorio together, they talk how good and daunting it is to make something in this game as well as; automation, turning off games to keep characters safe and travel plans.

Lochie and Louis go over the E3 2017 press conferences, we talk about the good stuff and gloss over the bad. We're hit with some rogue surprises like Beyond Good and Evil 2 and with the classics like more versions of Skyrim. Here's out take.
