Friday, July 19th, 2019 by Phil Savage

Welcome to the new dystopia, where the accents are questionable, the grannies are starting, and every street corner looks like the inside of a PC case. Welcome to Watch Dogs Legion’s London. Samuel has played Ubisoft’s upcoming hack-’em-up, and talks us through its cool NPC-gathering gimmick. That’s not all: this week, we’re regaling you with the many half-remembered delights of E3 2019, from Cyberpunk 2077 to Empire of Sin.

Episode 70: A return

Friday, March 29th, 2019 by Phil Savage

Dormant. Sickly. Drunk, lying face down in a gutter. Those are all words that you can’t use to describe the PC Gamer UK Podcast, because it is back and strong like a man who is very good at competitively pulling trucks a short distance. Look. We’ve forgotten how to podcast, and we’ve forgotten how to write podcast descriptions. But we’re back, and that’s something.

Episode 68: Selfies with Mothman

Thursday, November 8th, 2018 by Phil Savage

Sheepishly, we return to the podcast studio after a three month hiatus. Er… sorry about that. To make up for it, we talk through a selection of new and recent releases, all while trying to remember how you a) do a podcast, b) speak in full, comprehensible sentences, c) tell a joke without lampshading it first.

We run through every game in the list, which you can find in the current issue of the UK magazine (look for the shiny World of Warcraft cover). We also talk about the process of creating the list, and grow increasingly hungry as lunchtime approaches.

Friday, June 29th, 2018 by Phil Savage

E3 was a couple of weeks ago at this point, but that won’t stop the PC Gamer UK team from gathering to discuss everything at the show – from the futuristic cityscape of Cyberpunk 2077 to the cold, hard buttocks of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Friday, May 25th, 2018 by Phil Savage

Episode 60: It’s all chicken off

Tuesday, February 13th, 2018 by Phil Savage

Samuel, Pip and Phil discuss the philosophical and nutritional ramifications of the chicken dinner, because they haven’t podcasted for a couple of weeks and have seemingly forgotten how to not launch immediately into a tangent. Samuel sets out the rules for proper brig use, Phil apologises for crashing a boat, and Pip runs down Subnautica’s jellyfish content.

Discussed: Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, Sea of Thieves, Subnautica, Dynasty Warriors 9, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Episode 58: I’m here for beatles

Friday, December 1st, 2017 by Phil Savage

Samuel, Pip and Phil recorded this podcast last week and then fell into a deadline-fuelled stupor. Now recovered, they rediscover the podcast, but have no real memory of what’s on it. Definitely nothing worth taking legal action over, if you’re reading this lawyers.

Monday, November 13th, 2017 by Phil Savage

Samuel, Pip and Phil keep the pod train rolling by discussing the latest games, gaming news and… ah, who are we kidding. We try our best to stay on topic, but Phil rants about vaping for about five straight minutes, Pip tells a story about candy floss and Samuel does a bad badger impression.

Wednesday, October 11th, 2017 by Phil Savage

The PC Gamer team gathers to about the latest and soon-to-be-latest PC games, from the seemingly endless Divinity: Original Sin 2, to the all-consuming Destiny 2.

Wednesday, September 27th, 2017 by Phil Savage

After an impromptu summer holiday, Samuel and Phil return with PC Gamer’s new deputy editor, Philippa Warr. We apologise for our month long break, and launch into an (ethically sound, disclaimer containing) chat about Heat Signature, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, Paladins: Champions of the Realm and South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Also, we try to remember how to podcast.
