As a member of the @reddwarfpod.bsky.social team - this makes me a sad panda.

Oops - I posted this from the wrong podcast account. In my defense I'm 200 miles from home...

ICYMI....

Ooh. What is this? *knowing wink* Coming soon...

Started playing a game for a future episode. Playing the remastered version of it, and oh boy is it a really bad remaster.

I talked about two of my favourite games, go listen I guess!

NEW EPISODE! Join @jamespatton.bsky.social and Matt as they deep, deep dive into @inkle.co's open world interactive novels Overboard! And Expelled! pod.link/1641529105/e...

NEW EPISODE ON FRIDAY! @jamespatton.bsky.social talks about @inkle.co's "Overboard!" *AND* "Expelled!" We cover both Inkle's open world interactive novels and we get really, really deep into what they may be exploring. It's a good 'un, this one. #podcasts #adventuregames

Whilst I may need to start planning the next bunch of episodes soon - I've been working on that game about a young man trying to find the toilets in a pub... Also subtly advertising my other shows... @pickadisc.bsky.social @reddwarfpod.bsky.social @dontcallusshirley.bsky.social

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe where I host another podcast...

I am proud to announce that from the next episode onwards, we will be pivoting to a new topic. The podcast will be called "Ask Us About Looming" and @jamespatton.bsky.social will be talking about the "Ashford Inkle Loom". We spoke about it for nearly two hours. Expect it at the end of April!

It's out! I talk with @mattjlatham.bsky.social about my favourite game! 🫣 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

NEW EPISODE! @villainyvs.bsky.social talks to @mattjlatham.bsky.social about what might be one of the best adventure games ever made: The Curse of Monkey Island! pod.link/1526316391/e... #podcast #adventuregames #monkeyisland

THIS FRIDAY @villainyvs.bsky.social guests on the podcast, talking about a little known game from a little known adventure game series. It's also definitely not my favourite adventure game of all time. Absolutely not. #monkeyisland #curseofmonkeyisland #podcasts #britpodscene #adventuregames

Foolish Mortals - my favourite game of last year - is a lovely testament to hardwork and effort to all involved. This thread explains in detail how the game has no AI after a review falsely claimed it has.

I'm recording *two* more episodes this week! One covering two games - both interactive novels involving a fall... The other featuring a very well known game involving a golden wedding proposal... Any guesses on what they may be?

"My given name is 'Heart Liver and Kidneys Boiled in the Stomach of the Animal McMutton'." "Ahh, your parents were expecting a girl." #AmPlaying

"The Dagger of Amon Ra"... I played that for the first time about 30 years ago. It was interesting to cross daggers with someone who has only recently played it for the first time 😉

Want a clip of a future episode? If you said no, I'm going to disappoint you! Myself, @adventgamepod.bsky.social and @little-writer.bsky.social talk about The Dagger of Amon-Ra and I raise the question of whether it's the FFVIII of Sierra Games... Returning in 2026! #PointandClickAdventureGames

Talked my #albumsoftheyear & #tracksoftheyear with Jim #podcast @ichikoaoba.bsky.social @adwaithmusic.bsky.social @kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social @wolfalicefans.bsky.social @suedehq.bsky.social @mommaband.bsky.social @focuswales.bsky.social #bestof2025 www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2025/12/19/p...

I *loved* @collegefungames.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gy's The Protagonish. They have a new game spoofing Les Miserables starting soon, and their kickstarter is due to start soon: www.kickstarter.com/projects/col...

Since this post was made, I've now recorded two episodes, and have two more scheduled to record. New episodes to come! Who/what games do you want the podcast to cover next? Let me know!

A reminder that the podcast - which *will* be back in 2026 - has a joint discord server with my other podcast @pickadisc.bsky.social! So why not join and say hello! Talk about what you are playing - or what music you're into!

What this means, is that poor Villainy has to suffer me quoting Murray for hours.
