  • The Berlin Wall & Squid Ink (Tanked Up 883)

    Pure insanity this week. We start strong with Lucy’s thoughts on Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic, then slowly descend into madness with discussions on Contra, Space Harrier, Yu Suzuki’s back catalogue and Mario’s surname. All of this is caused by Aadil’s beer, the Umibozu from Tartarus. Lucy’s...
  • Steamworld Below (Tanked Up 356)

    Ben and Lucy return to talk games and drink AF beers. Ben gives his impressions on the Steamworld Build demo, Lucy chats Below the Ocean and they discuss the new remake, rerelease, or remaster of Goldeneye and its lack of online multiplayer on certain platforms. Lucy drinks Northern Monk’s...
  • Tanked Up 329 – Bees and CAMRA BS

    Lucy tells us of her time with APICO, a beekeeping simulator with minecraft-like survival elements. Ben touches on his first impressions of Diablo Immortal.

  • Tanked Up – Photoging in Umurangi

    We start with a chat about Aadil’s PC problems, windows 11, and the scourge of computing that DUST is. Aadil takes a deep dive on the first-person photography game Umurangi Generation, now on GamesPass. Some nerding out on photography in general. We chat at length about the mechanics, UI,...
  • Tanked Up 324 – A Play Date with the Steam Deck

    Lucy makes us all jealous with her first impressions of the Play Date, and “Playtris”. That is until the Steam Deck arrived. She played Strange Horticulture, ElecHead, the Apeture Desk Job, Ynglet, Swallow the Sea and Raven’s Hike. We also chat briefly about Stadia and the steam platform.  ...
  • Tanked Up 252 – Shattered from Ring Fit and Minit Racing

    The gyms aren’t open but Lucy’s been keeping up her exercise and playing loads of games. She’s played more Ring Fit, some Mario game on the Wii-U, and has completed the new Minit Fun Racing, which Ben also finished, and to round out has started Voyage. Aadil wants to...
  • Tanked Up 250 – Just Another Episode

    We made it, 250 episodes, 6 years to the month when we began. Because its a super special number we decided to do something special. We talk more and crack an extra beer. Super special. We talk Hitman 3, Control and its Foundation and AWE DLC, and Neoverse with...
  • Tanked Up 66 – Switch Off PewDiePie

    Ben and Aadil are joined by the pre-order queen herself, Lucy Yearwood. We talk about her hands-on Nintendo Switch preview, before getting into the muck with the latest antics of one ‘PewDiePie’, knee-jerk reactions, and of course what the heck is censorship anyway. As well as a secret revelation...
