Switch Island - Nintendo Podcast

An Englishman, a Mozambican & a Scotsman (and another Scotsman) walk into a bar. The Englishman lays his Louis Vuitton man purse on the bar and says "I've already had 10 pints, and bought 10 rounds for my friends. Altruism". The first Scotsman says "Hullo there! I'll have something from Stewart Brewing, it's just around the corner from me". The second Scotsman says "I'll get this, guys. I made 20G this month!". The barman then explains that Gamerscore is not legal tender. Finally, the Mozambican sighs and says "Guys, I'm new around here and though I'm sure whoever is writing this finds these in-jokes hilarious, I don't think I or anyone else will find it remotely funny. If anything, it seems like you've just written this elaborate description to cover up the fact that you haven't even listened to this episode and have no idea what Lewis, Dan, Alex and Patric (hey, that's me!) talked about."

Lewis, Dan, Ben and Max give their spoiler-free thoughts on Metroid Dread and take a look back at EGX 2021 amongst all the other nonsense you've grown to endure.

Lewis and Dan managed to ditch Ben and Mark for the week and drafted in the Gamerscore whore (Gamerwhore?) Alex for this episode. For a chance to beat his Gamerscore with your very own Xbox Series S, take a look at our pinned tweet here and for TEN additional chances of winning, check out our revamped Patreon here and see which tier tickles your fancy.

Are you ready for some trivia? I sure hope you are. Because that's what this is. Smark concocted a full-length version of our 'beloved' Mario or Smario segment and got a load of us together to compete for prizes on behalf of our Patreon supporters, as part of our year 2 celebrations. It's fun, it's very silly and it's definitely not one to play around your kids, or other people's kids. Don't forget, we're giving away an Xbox Series S (a brand new one, not the one Dan owned for 2 weeks). To have a chance of winning, take a look at our pinned tweet here and for TEN additional chances of winning, check out our revamped Patreon here and see which tier tickles your fancy.

If you're reading this and have somehow missed that we're giving away an Xbox Series S, well, it's true. We're giving away an Xbox Series S. To have a chance of winning, take a look at our pinned tweet here and for TEN additional chances of winning, check out our revamped Patreon here and see which tier tickles your fancy. And what prompted this sudden wave of generosity? Well, we celebrated our 2nd year refresh at the weekend with a full night of streams, live recordings and general merriment, so this particular episode is slightly more alcohol-fuelled than usual. And if you think this episode is chaotic, wait until you hear the full-length Mario or Smario special hitting your feed later this week.

For legal purposes, we have been advised to clarify that the 'Brian May' referred to in this episode is a fictional character and in no way related to the poodle-haired, badger-shagging Queen guitarist, Brian May CBE. With that out of the way, you can expect to hear the usual mix of video game chat and unapologetic nonsense, with your hosts Lewis, Dan, Ben & Mark. We really appreciate you taking the time to listen to our nonsense, and we hope it brings some silly fun into your life. We've got a whole evening of fun lined up for Saturday 25th September, including some community gaming, lots of prizes and some cheeky twists to our usual format, so we hope you can join us at twitch.tv/thecrossplayers to help us celebrate our year 2 refresh!

Welcome to the TCP's Gamepass Club, I mean Game Club Playlist for October! Lewis is going to need a clean pair of pants when he hears this one and for good reason as a certain past pick of his has finally made it to the Game Club. This month Jason is joined by his Cross Player team member Laurie and with him brings the Deputy Editor of Switch Player and Nintyfresh magazines Shaun Hughes. Which games made the club for October? listen now to find out.

Join Lewis, Dan, Ben and Alex as they offer their expert opinion on the hottest gaming news from several weeks ago. They also discuss what they were playing several weeks ago and experiment with a fun new segment that seemed like a good idea several weeks ago. This episode was recorded several weeks ago.

Some would say the games for this month were not the best, but there was still some corkers in there including one of the best games ever created and possibly the worst game in the history of TCP Game Club!  Patrick joins Jason & Alex to make his cross players debut and he starts his podcasting career with a memorable first appearance for various reasons. What were they? Only one way to find out!  The games discussed this month: Super Mario World The Ascent Gang Beats Sky: Children of the Light

Sometimes we indulge in quite poignant conversations on this podcast, picking apart our own insecurities and pondering life's big questions. Sometimes we search for deeper meaning in our gaming experiences and meditate on how the medium itself has brought us all together. Sometimes we shed a collective tear over the stories we share. And sometimes, we name an episode Sloppy Wet Wanky Boobs.

Laurie slides into Dan's ample shoes (genitals first) and joins Lewis, Ben and Mark to discuss what they've been playing, news and much more besides. Don't forget! You can get an additional podcast every god damn week by joining our Patreon and gifting us a frankly laughable one pound a month.

September already!!! Soon enough we'll be ramming our hands up some turkeys and pulling some cheap Christmas crackers! This month Jason is joined by a special guest, John, who hosts his own podcast Gaming in the Wild. you can find his podcast here. Alex also joins the guys and the less said about that the better. Want to know why? then get listening!

I'll level with you - this episode was recorded a few weeks ago and I can barely remember what it was about. I know it had Lewis, Dan, Ben and Mark on it. There's talk of the Steam Deck, HD remasters we'd love to see and of course a big ol' game of Mario or Smario. I'd also wager the episode contains what arseholes like to call 'bantz' but there's only one way to be sure...

Jason, Lewis and Alex sit down and have a splendid chat all about the Game Club games of July. which one took home the coveted game of the month award and made its way onto the The Cross Players wall of fame? Listen in and find out now!

Join Lewis, Dan, Ben and Mark as they give their thoughts on the newly announced Steam Deck, chat about what they've picked up and played and recall their fondest summer gaming memories. They also squeeze in a cheeky game of Mario or Smario - why not play along at home by joining us live, every Thursday at 8pm (UK time) over at youtube.com/thecrossplayers

Will it be third time lucky for Jason or will it be his never ending torture to get a game chosen to enter the hallowed halls of the Game Club. Joining Jason on his quest is the ever lasting git that is Lewis and making his Game Club debut is one of our newest members of the Cross Players team Ryan! Find out what the boys pitched and chose for you to play in next months Game club...and don't forget to rub the bust on your way in please.

Lock up your children! Or else, he will! Smark, the ghost of podcasts past, emerges from his crypt to strike fear into our mortal hearts, as well as discussing the Switch OLED model with Lewis, Dan and Ben. Now fetch me my Switch Island housecoat and begone, peasant!

The fella that usually writes the silly episode titles and descriptions is off at the moment, so I've just named this episode 'The One with Laurie & Luke' and will be padding out this description with meaningless waffle based around that title. 'The One with Laurie & Luke' was, of course, inspired by the hit sitcom, Friends, in which six affluent white people take turns boning each other. Except Ross and Monica, not only because they are unattractive, but also because they are siblings and that sort of thing is only legal in certain parts of America. If you're from one of those parts of America, why don't you and your 12-fingered sister pop along to our Discord and say howdy?
