| Number 2 (Chris Dow) - Animal Crossing - New Leaf | 30 Aug 2021 | 00:48:30 | |
Chris reveals the penultimate game on his top 100 list, the warm hug that is the Animal Crossing series, here represented by its 3DS entry, New Leaf. Why does Chris consider Nintendo’s life and social simulation more ‘friend’ than game? All that, naturally, but not before: ..more head scratchers in the quiz; ..a continuing retro games odyssey via Chris’ emulation station; ..Jonathan’s thoughts on the longer-than-expected Monster Hunter Stories 2; ..and Minty’s spittle-flecked fury at his frustrating time with Skyward Sword HD. — — — — — — — — — — Watch our video content on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3dZ2gmg Subscribe to our Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/o3cpodcast Help support us in exchange for some incredible perks: www.patreon.com/ourthreecents Browse the episodes from Season 1: www.ourthreecents.co.uk Join in the conversation with us: www.facebook.com/ourthreecents Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/o3cpodcast Reach out to us individually: | |||
| Bonus Level - Fisticuffs with Miyamoto! | 23 Aug 2021 | ||
Join O3C as we speak to genuine industry stalwart Giles Goddard! Travelling through milestones in his varied career, find out how working with Argonaut led to the development of the Super FX Chip which would power the technical powerhouses Star Fox and Stunt Race FX; how taking residence in Japan led to a closer relationship with Nintendo and work on Super Mario 64 and 1080 Snowboarding (not Skiing!); why Steel Diver remains one of Giles’ favourite titles in his collective oeuvre; and how ‘going indie’ eventually led to returning to the cutting edge with the VR-exclusive Carve Snowboarding. — — — — — — — — — — Watch our video content on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3dZ2gmg Subscribe to our Twitch channel: www.twitch.tv/o3cpodcast Help support us in exchange for some incredible perks: www.patreon.com/ourthreecents Browse the episodes from Season 1: www.ourthreecents.co.uk Join in the conversation with us: www.facebook.com/ourthreecents Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/o3cpodcast Reach out to us individually: | |||
| Number 3 (Jonathan Dunn) - Shining the Holy Ark | 16 Aug 2021 | 00:47:49 | |
The Sega Saturn takes what is likely its final moment in the spotlight in our top 100s as Jonathan talks up the underrated Shining the Holy Ark. Lick your lips, and take a big ol’ bite of one of Sega’s very best JRPGs. Music theory! Incubi and succubi! The threads of destiny! In Quiz Town, Chris and Minty rack their brains attempting to match up negative critical reviews to games they personally have nothing but love for. Jonathan has a great time with Monster Hunter Stories 2 and its tactical turn based battles despite the Switch’s performance issues, whilst also filling downtime with Jupiter’s latest Sega-themed Picross release. Minty continues to boss his way through the ophidian rogue-lite distillation that is SNKRX, but finds frustration in Skyward Sword HD. Chris fills his proverbial britches with every retro game under the sun, configuring Launchbox to unlock the secrets of the gaming matrix. — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Chris Walker, Sam Roberts and Alex Dunn!

| Number 3 (Minty Booth) - The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past | 09 Aug 2021 | 00:49:25 | |
This week on the O3C Podcast, linguistic shenanigans ensue in this week’s Quiz round as Chris and Minty duke it out for trivial supremacy. In our gaming activity, Minty’s Cyber Sleuthing comes to a natural caesura, and he gets his mobile retro rogue-lite action on in the brilliantly deep and minimalist Snake throwback - SNKRX! Minty also takes on the new lord of microtransactions in Pokémon Unite, the new (is it really?!) free-to-play MOBA featuring the beloved critters. Jonathan shares his final verdict on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - does it soar into the sky like a triumphant Loftwing? Or does it plummet like Link when you accidentally press ZR and fall off said Loftwing? And elsewhere, has he hunted his last Monster for now? Probably not - he’s bloody addicted now! And Chris ‘the Mighty’ Dow battles against the relentless tide of his growing games collection by playing every inch of Monster Attack, the DLC for Little Nightmares, and not one but TWO packages of minigames masquerading as pieces of shovelware, that might actually be, and I quote: ‘not bad’. And what’s for dinner?! Millions of pounds would have been lost to Ray Winstone if Jonathan and Chris had placed their bets on what game would be sitting in Minty’s Number One spot - because The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is ONLY his 3rd favourite video game of all-time!! But he does have some lovely words, thoughts and feelings to share about his epic relationship with this equally epic game! Behold! — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker, Sam Roberts and Alex Dunn!

| Number 3 (Chris Dow) - The Witness | 02 Aug 2021 | 00:57:29 | |
9 games left. 9 games to go. It seems only yesterday that we kicked off this silly project, and yet here we are, several years on entering the top 3: our very favourite games of all time. Chris kicks off the boys tip top trilogies with Jonathan Blow’s incredible puzzle adventure The Witness. Can Chris sell you on a game that is ostensibly just about solving line puzzles for 60 hours? In the Kingdom of Quiz, how do Chris and Minty fare in a test of their chronological gaming knowledge? What do the gang think of Valve’s portable PC, the Steam Deck? What have they been playing this last week? Expect, nay, demand, thoughts from Chris on Grindstone! Thoughts from Jonathan on Apple Arcade’s legacy releases, Monster Hunter Rise’s ‘end game’, and the new Switch port of Skyward Sword! And thoughts from Minty on Forager, Beat Saber and, naturally, Digimon, digital monsters, Digimon are the CHAM-PIONS. — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker and Alex Dunn!

| Bonus Level - Alien Autopsy! | 26 Jul 2021 | 00:57:44 | |
In a very special bonus episode, Our Three Chaps chat with actor Kezia Burrows! Through her storied career, Kez has portrayed characters across film, television and videogames. With over a decade of experience working within the games industry, Kez regails our trio with stories of her time working on titles as varied as Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Remember Me, Bravely Default II, Observation, 007 Legends, and, of course, the trouser soiling Alien: Isolation. Acting as a canonical bridge between Alien and Aliens (the legendary sequel which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year), Isolation saw Kez stepping into the shoes of Amanda Ripley, providing motion capture as well as her very image. How did Kez become involved with the project? And how did our historically fearful trio get on with Alien: Isolation? — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker and Alex Dunn!

| Number 4 (Jonathan Dunn) - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | 19 Jul 2021 | 00:56:08 | |
Jonathan Dunn is here to tell you all about a little game called The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, his very favourite entry in the Zelda canon. Hop aboard the King of Red Lions to sail the great sea, presumably in search of some little shiny triangle pieces, a big ol’ sword, and… a princess, I guess? But that’s not all, oh no no. Want to hear our thoughts on examples of when maligned game mechanics or tropes have actually been done well? Want to hear some thoughts on franchises as varied as Digimon, Metroid, Little Nightmares, or Monster Hunter? Or thoughts on some standalone IPs like the surprisingly decent Poi? Or the disappointing Pictooi? It’s all here!

It’s only ruddy video games again! We honestly can’t get enough of them!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy - loosen your belts for this week’s BUMPER episode of Our Three Cents, folks! Do you want to hear three non-gamers give their best descriptions of games they haven’t played, or, in most cases, even seen? It’s the ‘WAGs Opinion’ Quiz Round! Do you want to hear three non-non-gamers give their best thoughts on the damp squib that was E3 2021? Do you want to hear some updated thoughts on Sp!ng? Undermine? Dariusburst? Super Mario Odyssey? Abzu? Or brand new thoughts on Beat Saber? Or Metroid Zero Mission!? Why is Thief 2 better than Thief: The Dark Project and Thief: Deadly Shadows, both of which have already appeared on J-Dog’s list? What makes Thief 2 feel so alive, setting it apart from the majority of first person games that preceded it in the 1990s? What exactly is a taffer? ...and, perhaps most pertinently in 2021, what exactly is a demo disc?

| Bonus Level - Punting and Gathering! (Euro 2020 Special) | 21 Jun 2021 | 00:56:34 | |
At a time when you can't even look out the window without having a national flag waved in your face, we're here, to jump on the bandwagon, to talk about FOOTBALL. It's bleedin' Euro 2020, innit? To celebrate big boys kicking big balls, we've signed a one match loan deal with podcast strikers Tom Dow and Andrei Grayson of The Boys in Red and White to talk videogame football. Hear our collective preferences on the eternal, annualised fight for dominance that is FIFA vs Pro Evolution Soccer. Allow all five of us to sing the praises of the 'little engine that could', New Star Soccer for mobile devices. Then let four fifths of our footballing cohort sell you on some lesser known kick-men classics, before bringing on super sub Minty Booth to give cutting edge opinions on three pieces of eShop esoterica that at best could be described as being... football adjacent? Are we able to predict the winner of the real life tournament? Listen to the very end of this special bonus episode to hear and laugh at our punditry. — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker and Alex Dunn!

| Number 5 (Minty Booth) - Paper Mario | 14 Jun 2021 | 00:45:01 | |
Minty is a big fan of role playing game. We know this. But.. but... for why? What title started the RPG ball rolling for young Mr Booth? It's Paper Mario. A pancake-thin Mario. But outside of Minty's romantic, rolling reminiscence, what else have we got for you? Ruminations on the games we wish we could forget and revisit. Minty's early thoughts on virtual reality. A nod to eShop puzzler Circuit Dude, a puzzle game both improved and worsened in equal measure by alcohol. Jonathan's fair and considered appraisal of Balan Wonderworld, and some mobile recommendations in the form of a trio of All of You, Sp!ng, and Infinity Pinball. Bang for your buck. A lot of bang, for absolutely none of your buck. — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker and Alex Dunn!

Good morning / afternoon / evening! We gather here today, to listen the thoughts of three young men. The thoughts of three young men about video games! The quiz hots up, with some lateral thinking puzzles that make our duo look like absolute dummies! Chris lays Genshin Impact to rest for the time being, continues to make incremental progress through the genesis of the Earth Defense Force series, and bigs up the retro throwback handheld the Evercade roughly a year after first picking it up! Minty fights through the perils of a sore thumb, to chip away at The Binding of Isaac, and to experience his first 'stand up and be in a place' VR experience! Jonathan grinds through Returnal, digs down into Undermine, weeps into hands as he attempts to stream Balan Wonderworld, and begins the gruelling psychological horror of Resident Evil VILLage! Then the ruddy main event!!

Jonathan and Kaspar are back for Part 3 of an originally planned two-part spoiler episode. This time we managed to get through half of our planned discussion, which is only fitting when you are talking about a game where you set off to do one thing and 10 hours later you still haven’t done that one thing, but you’ve done a million other things, and they were all extremely fun! So come join us in the meandering delight that is Tears of the Kingdom! In part 3: - We discuss all of Link’s new world-bending, and mind-blowing abilities! We share our favourite use for each one, and no, it’s not just messing with the Koroks!! Well… not just that! - We talk about the shrines, shrine-quests, how they changed from Breath of the Wild; and which ones were stand-outs for Jonathan and Kaspar. —————— HUGE THANKS to our AMAZING Patreon Subscribers!!

After a ludicrous 50/50 score draw in the quiz, we enter QUIZ TWO POINT OH with a revised format!! Then, onto the games… Chris plays his shiny new PlayStation 5, and has many, many thoughts on the console he loves, yet describes as being 'very much a product that has had its final QA pass during a global pandemic’! Jonathan hits an insane 'hours played' milestone in The Binding of Isaac, a game he just cannot quit, and then blows off some steam with the bloody duology of Super Blood Hockey and Serial Cleaner! Minty continues the now stalwart Booth pairing of Bravely Default II with its layered bluff endings, as well as grinding away at Isaac to prepare for Repentance's potentially wobbly Switch port! Dinner for today's spread? Super Mario 64! Allow Chris twenty minutes of your time to try his best to say something new about a game our trio have already collectively talked about for about 100 hours since this show began. Pawn-shops! Nesting dolls! Bubsy 3D! Silly voices! Games are so bloody good!! — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker and Alex Dunn!

| Bonus Level - Feeding the Fire | 05 Apr 2021 | 00:50:42 | |
Blue Fire is a fantastic debut indie that melds intense, freeform platforming action with a Legend of Zelda-come-Dark Souls structure and aesthetic. Robi Studios is the Argentinian team behind this little cracker, and Gabriel Rosa, the director of the project, was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the game's design, development and surrounding post-release community! Find out how Rosa and team were inspired to make what would become the extremely well received Blue Fire; the games which did and didn't feed into their original design specification; and their desire to use their games to 'improve the lives' of their players! Also, hear Minty and Chris give their thoughts on a title that Jonathan has already gone on record as calling 'a very good game’! — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker and Alex Dunn!

| Number 8 (Jonathan Dunn) - Golden Sun | 29 Mar 2021 | 00:50:16 | |
It’s only another ruddy Monday and we’re at the end of an octagonal triptych - it’s the last eighth-favourite-video-game-of-all-time from us three cents! But before we do that - the Our Three Cents Quiz spectacular reaches the finish line - who will carry the baton over it? Will either of them? Will both of them?! What will we quiz upon now?! Gosh darn it if you don’t just want to know the answer to those rhetoricals! Then the chaps discuss games that were spurned by many but loved by them! And their recent gaming activity sees Chris find a very ‘Chris’ game in Sumo Digital’s Hotshot Racing! And Minty continues his adventuring in Bravely Default! Elsewhere Jonathan dutifully takes on the toughest challenges that Edmund McMillen can throw at him in The Binding of Isaac, and then he goes from “way ‘ard” to Weyard with his 8th favourite video game of all time - the extraordinary Golden Sun - the enormously epic JRPG, that “didn’t care it was ‘just’ on the Gameboy Advance!” — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker and Alex Dunn!

| Number 8 (Minty Booth) - Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. | 22 Mar 2021 | 00:49:31 | |
In the latest smackerooney of an episode, Chris returns to work and suffers an inevitable dip in his gameplay activity, and Minty, as is his Default, is adventuring Bravely on in his latest JRPG epic! Meanwhile, Jonathan is still making babies cry in every direction for the sake of the podcast’s YouTube channel, and he also ventures to The Outer Worlds to discover an adventure that is more Firefly than Fallout, and more Bioshock than Bethesda! And then, the main pudding! Big long boys, lots of green lads, glowing green letters, whimsy, fantasy and a huge dose of earnest storytelling, all play a part in Minty’s entry for this week! Listen on to find out why the albeit admittedly flawed Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. gave Minty “the most emotive gameplay experience of his life” and thus made it his 8th favourite video game of all time! — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade, Dominic Kemp, Chris Walker and Alex Dunn!

bang, bang, shoot 'em up, cops and robbers Minty goes blat, blat with his gat, gat as he talks up Saints Row 2, his ninth favourite video game, and perhaps Volition's crowning glory as the game that transformed the Saints Row franchise from a soulless GTA-copy, to the fun-loving series it would become!

Thoughts on games as far reaching as: THE BINDING OF ISAAC, THE OUTER WORLDS, THE MESSENGER, SPIDER-MAN REMASTERED, PARATOPIC, ASTRO'S PLAYROOM, DEMON'S SOULS as well as some reverent nodding in the general direction of Sony's adaptive triggers!

Did you know that Jonathan's number 17, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, has inadvertently become Minty's number 13 or that Minty's number 17, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, has become Jonathan's 13? Did you know that Chris is waffling about some Sega Mega Drive game again? Play these games! Then talk about these games! And at some point, find time to listen to us talk about these games! — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade and Chris Walker.

| Number 14 - The Witness, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean | 09 Nov 2020 | 00:59:25 | |
Oh my golly gosh, would you wrap your ears around this WHOPPER of an episode! Jonathan masters Resident Evil Revelations, is undone by the architectural malaise of Doom 3, enjoys Pokémon's recent DLC drop, hypes himself into the ionosphere with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity's demo, bumbles around as a Part Time UFO, AND STILL finds time to dump a million hours into Pic Pic on the DS after Chris' recent glowing review! Minty lists the names of many Galarian Pokémon that Chris hasn't heard of, and nears the end of his Xenoblade Chronicle! Chris starts Mario Sunshine, then plays some casual oddities on the PC with the meditative Glass Masquerade and the Mavis Beacon approved typing adventure Backspace Bouken! Oh, and the boys get angry at Super Smash Bros Ultimate's dreadful netcode! Phew!! 14’s, eh? Are you ready to hear why The Witness may be the most impressive game ever made? Are you prepared to accept that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the best launch title of all time? Will you let our resident JRPG aficionado sell you on the under appreciated gem Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean? 3 perfect games. Honestly. Just listen! — — — — — — — — — — Massive thanks to our Patreon subscribers Andy Smith, Gene Limbrick, CJ Anderson, Debbie Booth, Guy Lochhead, Jasper Blacketer, David Boys-Layton, Darren Hughes, Rob Wade and Chris Walker.

| Number 15 - Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Pokémon Red | 02 Nov 2020 | 00:50:41 | |
Today you're going to hear about some good games. I mean, last week's games were good, sure, but these are a whole week's worth of good better! ...but before we do that... Why not let us tell you little bits and pieces about our weekly efforts through Super Mario 64, Tetris 99, Mario 35, Pokémon Sword and/or Shield, and a wee snifter of Resident Evil! Let Minty tell you just how good Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader is! Very, very good x3.
