Summary

Dale, Joe and Jesse are here and chatting everything Steam Deck, but mostly about how flipping big and unwieldy it is. The lads have also seen the first episode of Moon Knight and are hesitant about its quality, especially compared to Severance. We also dive into the mess that is the new PlayStation Plus tier system.

Big Swig, then we go. Do you know what? No, we're just going. Big Swig is what the first words

of this week's IGN UK podcast. Hello. Hello. Hello, I'm B.S. My name is Dale Driver and that voice

0:17.9

you just heard is one of Joseph Scrabbles. Hello. Sorry, Joseph. Valerian Scrabbles. Valerians.

0:25.2

Oh, yes. Oh, pluralised. Sorry. Yeah. FaZe not pluralised. I've got multiple Valerians.

0:32.0

It's just a name. We're also joined with Jesse Gamers. I say joined with by the way. I know everyone

laughs about that, but that's just what I say. Join by Jesse Gamers. There we go. My proper introduction,

0:43.4

the one I've always deserved and now I have it. I'm so dry. I don't want to unleash all my emotions

0:52.4

just yet. Give us a bit of bigger Jesse. What you got? Show us some bigger. I don't want to do that.

0:58.1

God, he showed us his bigger. This week, we've had some stuff happen. Joseph, you've got a new toy

1:07.4

to play with. I do. I've got Steam Deck, the biggest, ugliest handheld in town. Yeah, I got it

1:35.3

but getting it, you really reminded that you were an atom in the grand scheme of the universe

1:41.2

because this thing is the size of a fucking cosmic god. It's ridiculous. That's the postman thing,

just quickly. I was a postman, briefly at one point, and I was a paper boy as well. A little

1:52.4

strategy I used to have was getting two bags and crossing the shoulders and spreading the weight.

1:56.9

Oh, you must look so cool. I know, right? Do you imagine Naruto? Do you imagine the postman has
