Something tried to destroy the metal, but the metal ate's in your penis. Hello there and welcome to Midlife Gamer Podcast, episode 46.

Today is Saturday, the 13th of June 2009, almost didn't know what date was then.

Matt, how are you, sir?

Marvelous. I'm trying to make sure I saw the word country correctly.

Matthew's in the house, as is I, Darren. Welcome. We're going to talk about games as usual.

Yes, we are. Do we need to give people the menu anymore? People know what the format is. If you don't know what the format is, listen to every other show we've ever recorded, and you'll have a fair idea. Matt, you can start off. Tell me, how's your week been? Dude, my week's been pretty down good. I went to a country fate today. A country fate. A country fate. I was going there and me and the misogny were talking on the way in the car thing.

Oh, a minute.

Will they actually have, like, jars of jam, homemade jam and pickles?

Pickled everything.

They love pickling things in the countryside.

They had jam.

They had pickles.

They had lemon curd, my friends. Made with real lemon. Brilliant. So what else goes on at? A country fakes? I've never been. You always see him on the midsummer murders and, you know, you get about five minutes of it and there's, like, women in hats and they're handing out cakes that they've made. And then somebody turns up dead. Oh God, the vicar's dead. And that's it. Fate ended. I did see the reverend. He was very much alive. Let's see what? They had... Is that Reverend Black Grape? I don't know. He had a little white collar. Of course he did. He looked like he was close to guard. They had lots of dogs. They had like a bunch of beagles. They had... Doing what with them? People just turning up with dogs? Or were they doing something? There was a man with many dogs. Look, it's one of those funny things where everybody knows everybody. Okay, like midsummer murders.

I've never seen it, but it's just a small little Midland village.

Matthew, to answer me a question, why? Why did you go?

You don't like going out, the best of times. What possessed you to go out to a village fate?

My brother now lives in a bizarre village, so I thought I would go, and it was very strange.

But I managed to get out of there, which is very good.

Now, my friend, do you remember who me telling you, or anybody who follows me on Twitter,

as much so I don't really tweet that much, I was twittering that I had a job interview. You did indeed. And I think we all sent you our best wishes. Thank you very much. Sent you on your way down to Reading and you went down there and you must have you must have done okay. Oh, dude. Come on. It's been so long since I've had an interview and I sat there in the sort of, in the reception,

looking like the dawn with the suavest suit and the biggest smile you've ever seen.

Okay.
