Summary

No, sorry, we didn't talk about Star Wars because we did this in the past. Instead! We talked about the Gollum video game, the TV show you've never heard of that you should probably give a try, the TV show you HAVE heard of and probably have given a try, and much more. Oh, and Joe has an IMPORTANT new chocolate bar recommendation. Want to get in touch to talk about digging graves? Or maybe Elden Ring? Feel free to send us an email at [email protected].

0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to the IGN UK podcast. My name is Dale Driver and today I have
0:12.4	with me one Matt Persler. Hello. Hey don't mind. I'm alright thank you how you Dale. I'm alright.
0:18.4	I'm surviving. Thriving and surviving. Those two things don't feel like being part of the same
0:23.9	deal. Joe are you thriving or surviving? I'm thriving for now and then when the summer really kicks
0:32.0	off I'm surviving. That's how it works. So we've got a bunch of stuff that we've I want to say
0:40.8	cobbled together today but you know they are informative I imagine so we should point out
0:48.1	that this is going out after the first day of Star Wars celebration but we are recording before

1:47.6	point-and-click adventures which I think range from Ropey to Ok and this is they have been given
1:55.1	by the Tolkien estate no less the rights to make a game about Gollum. I think the Tolkien estate is
2:02.1	probably I know they have a problem with violence like they thought that kind of even Peter Jackson's
2:08.2	trilogy was a bit kind of like big on the violence compared to the story so I think probably after
2:15.8	the shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War games they were probably looking for a developer to work with
