Episode Eight, in which our heroes talk about Half Life and the legacy it has created for Valve, including a little bit of DRM talk.

Episode Seven, in which our heroes venture into the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is Fallout.

If we sound a little more nasal and breathy than usual, the reason is our dedication to research lead us both to be struck down by radiation sickness before recording. Yup, the W1S1 crew is ill. Man flu.

Still that doesn't prevent us from a meandering and loving look back at the wonderings of a vault dweller.

This week we make our triumphant return discussing the Grand Theft Auto games.

We also discuss Star Wars as Told by Someone Who Hasn't Seen It - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb2GmBkkaTU

We're back. Well, Simon is.

Whilst the W1S1 team continue to try and find a way to get back to recording, Simon takes the reigns solo for a Christmas special just to let the listeners all know that W1S1 isn't dead yet.

Episode Five, in which our heros answer a mail-in question about the Daddy of console RPGs and weigh in on the Manhunt 2 controversy.

Episode four, in which our heroes struggle to maintain a professional attitude and chronically overuse the words satisfying and awesome.

Featuring special guest-host Rob and special intro music by Matthias Sachal.

Episode Three, in which our heroes get all fantastical in the land of Juria, discussing Golden Axe.

Episode Two, in which our heroes get all piratical talking about The Secret of Monkey Island shortly before going to see The Pirates of the Carribean 3.
