Well it's December first so it's about time I wished you a happy Halloween. To celebrate we played the latest concoction of spooky indie game demos brewed by by the folks of Haunted PS1. Real nice selection this year, and great to see the format expand into something even bigger.

Haunted PS1 Demo Disk: Spectra Mall

It's mid-Jan so what better time to wrap up our fav games of the year (that we played for the podcast) then now. I've already forgotten what took top spot but I can garentee it is an infallible pick as the best game of the year, as long as you subscribe to our unquantifiable metrics. (Guess which two words I had to look up the spelling for in that last sentence and win a prize, tho it doesn't count if I spelt all the other words wrong...) 

Thank you for listening in to us jabber about games this year. V cosy to know we've got a lil group keen to hear Lochie and I waffle about crap for 30 mins at a time. 

This pod make no profits but does require about a tenner between us every month to host & backup the audio. It'll keep going regardless, but if you wanna tip us a cheeky quid or two we'd love that tbh. 
You can do so on our ko-fi which you can find on my website:

Oh also, I forgot to mention I was on Gaming In The Wild's GOTY ep (https://gaminginthewild.carrd.co) again this year. So if you wanna know what games I played off the pod, check that out. John has run several eps talking to diff folks about their favs as well as his own, worth a look if you're not familiar. He's swell.
