Wow.

That's amazing.

Are we on?

Is this on? Hello there and welcome to this week's episode of the Midlife Game of podcast.

Today is Sunday, the 10th of April 2011.

And it's a beautiful day.

It's been a beautiful weekend.

So we're still indoors, which it's all right, isn't it?

Matthew, you're looking at me like you don't want to talk. I love to talk to you, but I do agree with the sun. The sun does a number of good things. I need to get out there, get my prep on. I need to give myself a base coat for when I go away. Are you going to... You know what? I think we'll cover this later maybe so without further ado let's kick things straight off matthew

tell me brother what have you been playing this week

okay okay um i want to talk about um

oh god not demon souls the one on the iPhone

infinity blade so you know we you know that i'd be playing this

after you did yeah you've you've actually sunk a fair amount of time into it. I'm quite impressed. I know. I think I'm on bloodline because your bloodline changes when you meet the boss and you either win or you don't win. That's in the official bloodline. I think I'm on the 19th at the moment. And I've almost, I'm on a point now where I've maximised everything that I can afford.

So each time I finish combat, I'm no longer receiving a great deal of XP.

Yeah.

So it's made me, it's made it into a grind for me because you can go and you can buy,

you can spend real money to get in-game gold.

And when I saw, because I was actually, I was enjoying the constantly switching out weapons,

switching out shields to get more experience.

But when I hit that point, I thought,

oh, maybe this is going to be the first game
