Syndication

The two young studs from Frugal Gaming return after a 6 month break from podcasting. As well as chatting about what we have been up to, we also talk about the changes to Frugal Gaming since we recorded the last episode. We also take the opportunity to do a mini review of 2010 so far, chewing the fat about which games we think lived up to the hype and those games that have died on their proverbial arses.

Warning

The audio quality of this show is below what you would normally expect from one of our podcasts as some numpty (Daz) accidentally recorded the entire show on a cheap webcam mic that was running in the background, instead of using the mic on his headset which was strapped to his chubby bonce at the time! We debated whether or not to release the show due to these problems, but decided to give it a  punt. To combat these audio problems, you may want to reduce the volume slightly whilst listening.

Daz and Nory are joined by the legendary Fly from The Gamer Scene to bring you their first  podcast in four months. In this episode we discuss the awesome MAG, the slightly less awesome Mass Effect 2 and lots of other games that nobody cares about like Dragon Age.

So sit back, relax and enjoy award winning games journalism at its best, and if you still have time, then listen to this show!

It must be snowing in hell because the boys are finally back in town. After wrestling the mics out of Team Bromances cold dead hands, Team Handsome layeth a further smackdown on Supermarket price wars, the PSP Go fiasco and the Royal Mail postal strike.

Daz finds time to gloat about being super awesome at Halo and Fifa 10 whilst (as an unprecedented first for podcasting) exclusive proof of flying pigs is revealed. All this and chat on Mini Ninjas, Borderlands and much, much more. Well, maybe just a little bit more. Or maybe that’s it. I can’t actually remember.

Got Woodstock?

Team Bromance have flown in, after their brief brush with rock stardom, to record their difficult third alb...show.

Though with fame comes privilege and the guys have been extremely privileged to have two extra special guests. One of whom is an actual DOCTOR, the other is that elusive, near mythical creature...the FEMALE GAMER!

Daz and Nory are back in FGUK Towers following the Frugal podcasting tour that took in Big Red Potion, Gamer Dork UK and The Gamer Scene. Whilst unpacking they stumbled upon a few little snippets that didn't quite make the final podcasts but are probably worth listening to anyway.

So kick back and enjoy a behind the scenes look at podcast creation and chat. Also includes the full unblemished car crash of an ending from the Gamerdork UK cast that seemed to go on forever and a day before reaching it's not completely surprising conclusion.

Darren sucks what's that now?

Well it's been a while but the boys are finally back in town to educate their 12 billion subscribers in the ways of FGUK. The drama queens return to rock the gaming world with bargains galore and spread the word of Frugal.

An ever grumpy Nory breaks the world F Bomb record but does find time to sign the praises of Rockband unplugged and the Chronicles of Riddick. Meanwhile Daz tries to outdo DSi gate and reach new heights of numptyness by purchasing cheap games for a system he forgot that he no longer owned.

In other news, two unsuspecting and entirely innocent community members have their questions fielded in ask Spud whilst the boys have a long awaited i phone app chat.

All in all a great show

Team Handsome return for another round of community features and video game deals that will shake you to your very core. The guys reminisce over Sonics glory days before putting the boot into the recent 3D abominations and Nory bores Daz to tears with tales of Fallout 3 DLC.

In a long overdue turn of events, the thorny issue of religion graces the scroogecast when Daz reveals how he deals with unwanted visitors. The good advice pours forth during the newly added “ask Spud” segment whilst the winner of the X Box 360 competition is revealed.
