Mat has been to the shop to buy more rubbish games he’ll never play while Rik has got him playing Star Trek Online by virtue of the Hailing Frequency competition (Rik won the prize of a Deluxe Edition, gave it to Mat, and watched him totally ignore all the bonus goodies – and he’s really annoyed about it – but hasn’t said anything).

We mess about in game and give our impressions. We also try to explore (ie; go somewhere without a mission!) Does the game support this radical concept? Listen in to find out!

Rik attempts to give structure to the show and Mat does his very best to de-rail that notion. A trio of fairly mundane topics surprise us by giving rise to some remotely stimulating discussion! For us perhaps only! We’re certainly enjoying ourselves doing these podcasts…it’s addictive, like those computer games the young people play! Or so I’m told.

We cover:

The memories of the early games we played – and how they compare to the current fare.
Is Bill Gates having a laugh?
And the joys of PC World?

In three nice, neat segments.

That’ll be the day…
