Checkpoint Chat

While Matty manages to escape the hell of living with bathroom spiders, he chats about his parting thoughts on The Last Guardian and how it made him cry. Sandy is a terrible person in Frostpunk, we chat about the big changes coming to Fortnite and what games we'd make (if we could). Let's make Pink Apron a thing though, kay?

WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? Matthew has finally finished The Witcher 3, so we get super spoilery about its ending and themes. Sandy checks in with a look at the depressingly brilliant Frostpunk, we chat about a whole bunch of great games out this week and wonder just how great games this generation have been by being critical of their legacy. Always pick Triss, dear friends. Don't listen to Yen and her lies.

This week on a (slighty) delayed episode, Matty is so, so close to finishing The Witcher 3 while Sandy can't get over how good God of War is. We remember The Forest and champion Vermintide 2 as the next big Left4Dead game, while also discussing how bad single-player shooters are in the wake of Call of Duty cancelling the mode for Black Ops 4. Also don't keep Red Bull so close to recording equipment. Or at least don't drink like Sandy, the idiot.

After an unforeseen week off, Sandy and Matty return to share stories of Trico being an asshole, how unbelievably incredible God of War is, excitement and reservations over Nintendo Labo and answers to a whole bunch of your questions!

On another jam-packed episode of Checkpoint Chat, Matty nurses Sandy's hangover with more ramblings about mobile Final Fantasy games, they both chat about how unbelievably addicted they are to Fortnite again, Sandy is disappointed by Far Cry 5 and just how much adventuring can you fit into a single Minit? Also, don't ask to take our podcast on a date. We'll fight you.

This week Sandy and Matty get personal over some Fortnite stories, Sandy explains how Sea of Thieves is like a hotel bathroom, we check back into Persona 5 and Matty gushes over those sweet Nintendo Switch sales. Just be sure to always check your bush.

On a rainy episode of Checkpoint Chat, Matty fills us in on his adventures in Novigrad while Sandy gives details the closest game to Portal 3 we're ever going to get. Then we dive into some Final Fantasy for smartphones, how Fortnite is blowing up and answer your questions! Just don't fall for any Ponzi Schemes this week, ok?

Avoiding literal bullets to get this recorded, Matty and Sandy touch on a whole range of new games they've been playing including Florence, Into the Breach and Furi. Then get caught up with all the announcements from Nintendo's Direct last week, and join in calling out Blizzard's bullshit response to that obvious Diablo III Switch tease. Just don't time travel to the East. Traffic awaits.

It's the very first full episode of Checkpoint Chat! Matty chats about his obsession with The Witcher 3 and cursed trees, Sandy gushes over PSVR game Moss and the pair look back on a wildly successful first year for the Nintendo Switch. Also where does King Dedede hit the gym? Damn son.

So you've stumbled upon this great new podcast and don't know what it is? Alessandro and Matthew introduce you to their new baby - Checkpoint Chat - and ramble about all the lovely things this show will center on. Gaming, pop culture, current news and you, of course.
