Bye, bye, children.

Come back next time.

Don't touch strangers. Hello there and welcome to this week's edition of Midlife Gamer podcast.

Episode 13, unlucky for some, hopefully not for us.

Today is Sunday, October the 19th.

I'm Darren Baldock. And with me, as always, I have the lovely Matthew Moore. How are you, sir?

Not so about my friend. How are you?

I'm all right. I'm sitting here in your lovely new office. It's very, very nice indeed. It's top of the pops.

It is.

It is.

So let's break down what we're going to be covering this week.

As always, we're going to begin with what we've been playing this week.

Then we're going to talk about some news.

We're going to then finish up with some new releases and looking at the retail roundup.

How does that sound? Sounds excellent to me. It should be an interesting one because we've played a lot of interesting games this week. We have indeed. But before we start that, I've got a bone to pick with you. Oh, yeah. So normally, Matthew, I've got total faith and trust in your ability to edit the show. I'm getting bad on it. So driving to work and last week's show was quite good, you know, not too shabby. Yeah. I have an issue with your editing. Okay. Okay, so we dropped a nice little soundbed in for our special show and tell section. Oh, we did Spanish Flea? I was absolutely horrified to see that you gave Spanish flea such dreadful, atrocious treatment. Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass will be turning, well, Herb Albert will be turning in his grave. Well, he won't because he's still alive. Okay. But if he heard it, I'm sure he'd be mighty pissed off, so I would like you to play it and fade it out appropriately. And going forward, any sound beds like that, you need to treat with respect to my friend.

Okay, okay.

Now, any particular place, you want me to put that?

I'll drop it in now.

Okay. Right, I'm glad we got that out of the way.

Let's get straight in.

What have we been playing this week?

My word, we've been playing a bit of PlayStation.
