The Finger Guns Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

This week Rossko and Miles are joined by The Most Relaxing Video Games author Ryan Janes to talk all about the weeks news and try his luck at our weekly quiz. Safe to say he does very well indeed...

Miles has been finally let off the leash to talk about the brilliant Gori: Cuddly Carnage, Ryan has been playing the wonderful puzzle game Lorelei and the Laser Eyes whilst Rossko has played the first hour of Star Wars Outlaws and he shares his thoughts.

Farewell North is a one-of-a-kind experience, so who better to talk to the creator of the game Kyle Banks than that one-of-a-kind Miles Thompson! Miles talks to Kyle all about the game including the raw emotion, the ending, the music and spoilers aplenty.

Don't miss it. And make sure you play Farewell North, it's absolutely glorious.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast we're back to our nonsense talking the latest game news and quizzes and what we're playing and all the stuff that you love. Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh talk the difficulty of Shadow of the Erdtree, Xbox Game Pass coming to Amazon Fire Sticks and Konami staff wanting Kojima back for good.

In Game of the Week Josh (and Miles) have been checking out the Valorant PS5 Beta (and well, it's very good...), Miles has been playing the terrible The Sinking City but keeps going back to it even though it's terrible (who is writing this anyway?) while Kat has dropped 27 hours into Red Dead Redemption 2 after Miles made her play it. Nice Miles. Nice. Oh, and Rossko has fallen back in love with the gorgeous Tetris Effect.

Josh is recommending not going to The Trafford Centre as it's a 's***hole', apparently. Ugh. Miles leans into recommending House of Leaves, which is a book. Weirdo. Oh and Kat recommends an app called Family Wall, which is an app for couples to organise a sharedlist. We're here for the people folks.

Also Rossko is the head of a new kind of quiz this week which hopefully gets you thinking / screaming at your podcast playing devices. May the odds be ever in your favour.

We're back! The Finger Guns Podcast makes its triumphant return with episode 186, where Rossko, Kat, Miles, Josh and Yogdog get back together to talk all things video games and what we've been playing over the festive period.

Whilst the week has been somewhat light on news thus far, we manage to cram some minutes out of just what Bungie could be working on with their five unannounced projects and what we'd like to see new from the now legendary FPS developer.

Elsewhere Sony have finally revealed an accessibility controller, known right now as Project Leonardo. We talk the very good news that Sony have at last moved into the sector where all can play their games, and just hope it's not out of peoples reach when it comes to price. There's a whole lot to like about this product, but will Sony market it correctly?

Our main topic though is our Metacritic Predictions -Results. If you remember way back in January last year we took a selection of games that were due for release in 2022 and gave our own Metacritic predictions for each game. Well now it's time to jump back in and see how well we did. It's quite the listen!

There's also plenty of recommendations (including TV shows, creme eggs and oh yeah, some video games), Red Dead 2, Rossko gets vindicated over What Remains of Edith Finch thanks to Josh, Miles talks his love for Arcade Paradise and Yogdog talks playing with a selection of Fallout mods.

It's good to be back!

On our final podcast of the year we've managed to assemble our biggest cast so far with an almighty SEVEN Finger Gunners joining the pod and amassing an absolute cavalcade of madness. Joining Rossko is Kat, Miles, Josh, Sean, the returning Tom and Jonathan Brown (aka Yogdog) making his first appearance on the podcast as we talk all about our Games of the Year and everything that is to come.

We delve into our Game of the Year choices and share with the group just why these games were so damn special to us, elaborating on our written segments in the website GOTY article. There's a fair few of us now so there's a fair few games to get into, it's a hell of a list.

Elsewhere we talk hype for 2023 and whilst it looks like there's a certified banger dropping at least every single month we try to narrow it down with a hefty list of games we're looking forward to (but still manage to add plenty on at the end). With a simple cheer-o-meter we garner what the team is looking forward to the most and what we can probably do without next year, if anything at all. And also, we're still unsure whether or not we're allowed to bloody play Hogwarts Legacy or not.

A huge shout out to Kat also who put together an almighty Big Fat Game Quiz of 2022 which saw us take on nearly double the questions as normal and try to remember some of the nonsense we wrote in our reviews as questions. It's a hell of a laugh and we hope you can join in at home on at least some of the questions.

Never fear though our regular segment Game of the Week remains as Miles talks Crisis Core: Final Fantasy Reunion, Kat and Rossko get hype on the ridiculously funny High on Life, newbie YogDog talks Rimworld, Sean shares his thoughts on WhipDrive years after release (now shiny and better than ever on PS5), Tom tosses a coin to the next-gen Witcher 3 upgrade and Josh finally tries Vampire Survivors.

It's been a hell of a year on The Finger Guns Podcast and thank you so much for joining us for the ride. We've seen our biggest numbers ever and now we can keep it live and kicking on our new partners Acast! Thank you again, we'll see you in January.

On the penultimate episode of The Finger Guns Podcast for 2022 Rossko, Josh, Kat and Miles get together to talk everything The Game Awards. We talk about the winners and the losers, the event itself, our favourite trailers and what we're probably going to avoid (hello Crime Boss Rockay Citaayyy). Do we agree with what won and what didn't? Well, for the most part yes, but there are some egregious calls which we set straight by, well, shouting at each other so loud our microphones cut out. It's all a part of the podcasting experience, folks. You should know this about us by now.

Elsewhere Game of the Week returns with Miles talking about the mysterious Mirror Forge, Kat talks the Fall of Porcupine demo, Josh searches for dead bodies in Hello Neighbour 2 and Rossko shares his impressions on Forspoken now the demo is available on PSN.

We've also got another quiz and another bath of recommendations, all of which are video games this week. What? No random new chocolate bar to recommend? We're sorry, we're going to try harder next week. See you then for the last episode of the year!

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Kat, Josh and the returning Sean to talk the weeks news and yet again, there isn't an awful lot so we talk a bit more about what we've been playing and what we're excited to see at The Game Awards next week.

First up Josh talks his time with Need for Speed Unbound and how he worries he's getting a little too old for it, Miles shares his opinion on the hugely anticipated The Callisto Protocol, Rossko talks doing a full 360 of Marvel's Midnight Suns and Sean holds up his indie corner by trying out the rather delightful The Forest Quartet. We also talk Fortnite's brand new chapter and the state of live service in games overall. Who's doing it, who's doing it wrong and what's to come in the future (gentle reminders also that Fortnite is bloody great and should be played by everyone).

Kat also returns with a quiz and there are some hearty recommendations. We'll be back for The Game Awards. See you there!

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Josh and Kat get to grips with the weeks news of which there...well, there isn't an awful lot but boy, is this not an entertaining lark of a podcast anyway.

We get into the announcement of Starship Troopers: Extermination, a brand new 12 player co-op shooter adventure that takes us very much into the heart of the movie. We're all rather excited for this (well, except for Kat..).

Splinter Cell returns! Kinda. Not really. In a BBC Radio 4 audio drama? Bet you didn't have that on your 2022 bingo card, did you? The franchise returns once again without returning and we're all a little befuddled as to why Ubisoft aren't just making a brand new game in the series instead of milking Sam Fischer for all he's worth everywhere else.

We also talk Netflix's announcement that they're taking on development of a 'AAA' title. We don't know much else, other than it may be a shooter and it may be connected to one of their IP's. Are we about to see a major Stranger Things game on the horizon? What about Squid Game? Mindhunter ?That Witcher series they made would be a fun video game, don't you think?

Elsewhere, Miles and Kat share the love for God of War Ragnarok, Rossko has finally finished Horizon Forbidden West and Josh talks the almighty Goat SImulator 3 with huge praise. There's also a God of War themed quiz and some glorious recommendations to get your teeth into this week. Though oddly none of them are food this time...

Oh, and we follow the trails and tribulations of Kat buying a sexy gaming laptop throughout the podcast. It's a fascinating ride and one you'll want to follow until the very end. It's incredible.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles and Josh are back together once again to get through the weeks news and well, there isn't a whole lot of it so we talk about Call of Duty instead.

Well, as we keep up with the Golden Joystick award winners announcements throughout the podcast (Elden Ring for best multiplayer? Eh?), the gang discuss the ridiculous success of Warzone 2.0 and what it could mean for the future of the Royale, our own opinions on the game itself after jumping in together this week and more talk about the ongoing Microsoft / Activision acquisition saga. They offered ten years to PlayStation for CoD, would they accept? Well, we have no idea. But we speculate either way what it could mean for both companies.

Elsewhere it's been two years since the release of the Xbox Series duo and the PS5, so we give the systems a thorough going over about where they stand and what we've enjoyed and not enjoyed about them so far. With Xbox throwing their money around - with seemingly very little return just yet - and Sony banging out AAA after AAA, the two companies have gone down very different paths in the hope to grab your attention this time around. We discuss whether or not we see a future in either method and when we can expect Xbox to actually start living up to the cheques they're writing developers. Starfield has a hell of a lot on its shoulders.

There's also of course Game of the Week where Miles talks the brilliant Evil West, Josh gets hyped for Ship of Fools and Rossko digs into his backlog to get a little further in Horizon Forbidden West and talks the brilliant Once Upon a Jester, which you can pick up on Steam right now.

Josh also turns up with a Game Awards themed quiz which you won't want to miss and there's the latest on Miles' Saturnalia/Only Fans venture. It's quite the episode.

Enjoy!

This week on a bumper Finger Guns Podcast Rossko, Miles, Josh and a very late Kat (seriously, at the gym trying to better herself instead of talking games? Pfft) get together to talk all the weeks news and well, there's a whole lot of game nominations we need to get through.

Oh yes, it's that time of year again where we tear through the entire list of The Game Awards nominations and see if we can pick who is going to take home the gold. Through every category - almost - we still don't know what an e-sports is - we get into arguments over who deserves to take home Geoff Keighley's pointless trophies that pad out his trailer showcase and well, let's just say it gets fairly heated this year. Kat comes back from the gym and is taking no prisoners. Giant crumpet.

Elsewhere we talk the weeks news including The Witcher 3's next-gen upgrade, the official confirmation of Control 2 and the tragic passing of our Batman, the irreplaceable Kevin Conroy.

As ever we talk our Game of the Week with Miles sharing his thoughts on Somerville (out now on Game Pass. Go play!), Josh fights off dinosaurs in the Switch version of the Jurassic Park Aftermath Collection and Rossko, at least, shares his thoughts, however heartbreaking they may be, on Sonic Frontiers.

Oh, and there's so much more. We love this one, we're pretty sure you will too. See you next time! Enjoy the episode.
