You're in a pub. You overhear three friends talking about video games and you think to yourself "someone should record this and release it as a podcast, every Thursday at 6:30am".

Cover the Bean (feat. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Woodo & Sniper Dan)
It’s a Tactics Town takeover this week, as our three Flame Lords gather round to discuss battle strategies and how to win the favour of soldiers whilst trapped inside the body of a small bird. This will all make sense (or not) during what will be the first of many Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave discussions. But if that’s not your thing, other games are also available, including Woodo; Sniper Dan and Hot Wheels Infinite Rush.

Gurgle (feat. The Blood of Dawnwalker & the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct)
Things get bloody in the Veil this week as The Blood of Dawnwalker is the big topic. But what does Alex think? Will he B Positive or O so Negative? There’s also chat about the Zelda and general Directs from last week; the somewhat tepid reception to Marvel’s Wolverine and, of course, a good old-fashioned game of Guess the Outro.
