Game for Anything

I'm reading the title of this episode and just reflecting on the madness of this show that we make.This episode of Game For Anything, Rad proves that a free demo can subsist your gaming needs by sinking 10 hours into the Monster Train 2 demo (now it's more like 20 hours). Plus, Paul gives us another update on Marvel Snap, and discovers new nightmares he never knew existed as Rad tells him about "tooth-in-eye surgery". That's right, a sight-restoring surgery that literally replaces an eyeball with a tooth.Also, we announce the winner of our Logitech giveaway, and discuss all the different ways that urine can make batteries. I promise we're not taking the piss. Also, Paul had drunk his pee before. Ayiyiyi.

Special guest Erika Ishii joins Rad to share stories about their life, career, and new found love of fountain pens. Because here at Game For Anything... we're game for anything.

In an episode covering the full gamut of human emotions, Paul fills us in on the well-publicised layoffs of the Marvel Rivals team in Seattle. But is it a matter of rampant capitalism gutting studios, or is Marvel Rivals' Chinese developer - NetEase - just keeping jobs more local? Plus, heartbreaking news has surfaced of a crypto trader who appears to have ended his own life by playing Russian roulette live streamed on X/Twitter. Disturbingly, memecoins named after him were then tokenised. And, to leave things on a more lighthearted note, Rad shares the joys of her new Polly Pocket sized Kmart rice cooker. Because $15 can buy happiness.

Obsidian's massive new RPG, Avowed, is here - and it puts the "fun" in "fungal". Also, Paul sees red over the new Captain America (actually, he really rather liked it)!

Chokehold? More like troll-hold! We tell tale of UFC fighter Brian Ortega who flew across the country to choke out an online troll, because that's what planes and years of professional martial arts is for. Rad succumbs to the siren song of TV in bed - cinema style - with the Samsung Freestyle projector and Music Frame. Plus, Paul snuffles into the patent office like a truffle pig for a little conjecture on Nintendo's Switch 2, and we give you a quick update on generative AI model DeepSeek's back end.

Rad is joined by special guest Gem Driscoll to hear about her unbridled spending habits at Kaiga Convention, aka. KaiCon. Plus, they link arms and skip into a world of adventure at the Twenty-Sided Tavern - an interactive Dungeons & Dragons stage show currently running at the Sydney Opera House. Oh no! You better catch it!(Paul is busy so we've got guest hosts, how fun!)

The Switch 2 is coming! But it seems like Nintendo aren't switching it up this time, and Paul is maybe a little disappointed. Rad tries to perk him up with some news from Samsung's new S25 series launch - including an AI generated version of the cover art and a Crocs phone case - and they talk about the new Chinese-made ChatGPT competitor: DeepSeek R1.

TikTok, TikTok! TikTok's time is up... OR IS IT? Apparently, no. Rad and Paul can't not talk politics in this, the first episode of 2025 - plus, they discuss Marvel Snap getting Snapped out of existence.
