Just a quick thirty minutes with the whole gang at early April’s EGX Rezzed games expo in London? Your wish is our command. Alan gets piped directly into the Matrix and fuses with his bird-self; Matthew ends up homeless after spending his savings on a cup of Pepsi; and Mark does his best to get a restraining order […]

Thirty episodes? Why has no-one stopped us yet? Befuddle your brain with the world’s worst ever Christmas cracker joke (yes, in February). Hear Greener’s grey matter seize up as he struggles to solve — or even adequately explain — The Witness. And shatter your mind’s worldview with perhaps the first ever better-than-awful Jam With The Band session. Plus: SPACE […]

Crack open the Christmas tree and wrap the tinsel around the sherry — it’s the bumper Christmas 2015 episode! We bring you our gaming moments of the year in the most audio-unfriendly format imaginable. We swap Christmas presents that could just have easily have been put on a conveyor belt straight into the bin. And we […]

Remove the protective film from your earholes: we’ve got an episode for you to ram down there. And it’s full of surprisingly relevant stuff just this once. We play Just Cause 3, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Star Wars Battlefront. In Predict-o-names, we find out what happens when  Nathan Drake falls on hard times. And we experiment […]

Knock, knock. Who’s there? It’s us. It’s not a joke, and we’re playing both parts. In episode 27, we join scientists stuck on tables, settlers stumped by doors and dogs that fly helicopters in the mighty Fallout 4. We turn back time to remember the rage (and naughtiness) of Kratos in God of War III. And we […]

CLONK! RUSTLE! BOING! Those are the spooky sounds of our (not very) Hallowe’en episode. We play Halo 5: Guardians and learn English from Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. Our mobile phones give us all the worst words for creating scary Silent Hill titles in Predict-O-Names. And there’s the update on Mark’s tea-drinking you’ve all been clamouring for. Plus: SPACE ARK. Email trp@therotatingplatform.com, tweet @rotatingpodcast, turn and […]

Hey, we didn’t leave it a month between episodes for once! We spoon Star Wars: Battlefront, Metal Gear Online and Not the Robots into our eye sockets, make Henry Mancini wish he’d never invented The Pink Panther Theme, get thoroughly confused about what rice paper is used for, and receive the Best Tweet Ever. Plus: SPACE […]

It’s that time again! 6.11pm. But also: time for a podcast episode! We process Lego Dimensions, The Beginner’s Guide, and Infamous Second Son through our eyeholes and brain tubes. Predict-o-names reveals the shocking true nature of Chibi-Robo. And Alan skewers Matthew’s NGameraversary. Plus: SPACE ARK. Email trp@therotatingplatform.com, tweet @rotatingpodcast, press the ‘Thumbs Aloft!’ button on our Facebook page, or […]

Celebrating 23 episodes! We demonstrate the amazing ability to all play the same game — the three of us simultaneously dodging bears and studying goat hair in the brilliant Metal Gear Solid V. J S Bach reaches an all-time career low thanks to our appalling Jam With The Band rendition of one of his greatest hits. Plus: SPACE ARK. Email trp@therotatingplatform.com, tweet […]

We’ve stored our voices and we’re playing them back now — for you! We chat about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and the new Mirror’s Edge. Mark reports from Gamescom, the convention of howling wind, rattling trolleys and some videogames. And we realise we should have picked a far, far less difficult song for Jam With The […]

Alan’s singing when he’s winning in car-football mashup Rocket League, while tanks are singing when they’re winning in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. We use Jam With The Band to pummel a pop song so brutally that it can’t even be recognised from its dental records. And we have a cappella tunes in honour of the late, great Satoru Iwata. Plus: SPACE […]

We’ve climbed all the way up to the 20th floor! We’re shattered. Listen to us trying to catch our breath, and: coming to blows over Lego Jurassic World of all things, looking back to the time when Mark accidentally shaped official Wario lore, and listening to some “authentic” messages from celebrities. Plus: SPACE ARK. Email trp@therotatingplatform.com, tweet @rotatingpodcast, […]

We go shopping in Batman: Arkham Knight and pretend we’re cool enough for the “banging wubs” of Futuridium EP Deluxe. We share our highlights of E3 2015, and predict the future of the show’s biggest game franchises through the tried and trusted method of jabbing randomly at our mobile phone keyboards. And… pam param. Pam pam param. Pam param. […]

Like all other podcasts, we’re legally bound by strict EU podcast regulations to talk about the (amazing) Witcher 3 this week. But the EU can’t stop us listing off your ingenious methods for toying with the minds of NPCs, doing the world’s worst Michael Caine impressions, and confusingly equating Disney’s Meet the Robinsons with Russell Crowe and ITV’s Gladiators. Plus: SPACE ARK. […]

This one just screams “episode 17″. Gather round for the horrifying true story of Matthew’s pet hamster. Learn some 100% True Facts about The Witcher 3 that would probably make Geralt even grumpier than normal. Meditate on the cerebral pursuits of The Talos Principle and Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishment — or alternatively join Mark for the latest chapter in his campaign […]

It’s all positivity and light in this episode! We torment innocent bystanders in Assassin’s Creed, exhume the many words we murdered during our shameful journalistic past, beat a popular song to a pulp using the blunt weapon of Jam With the Band, and discuss what Zelda games would be like if they replaced certain sections with sinister memorials to people who are actually still alive. […]

Celebrate the production of another mp3 format digital file with us! We’ve been playing Danganronpa 2, Grow Home and Wolfenstein: The New Order. We’ve been prodding our DSs to make sure we ruin a much-loved classical tune for everyone, for all time. And it turns out Matthew has been stalking random strangers in order to complete late-’90s point-and-click adventures. We suspected […]

We’re not dead yet! In this episode, we dig up the “facts” about Bloodborne that everyone else has been too busy staring at the loading screen to discover; tell you what our brains think about Ori and the Blind Forest, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Deadbolt; report live from the red carpet (kinda) at the recent […]

Something something unlucky for some. Vibrate your inner-ear hairs by blasting them with sound waves that contain our experiences with Dying Light, 80 Days and Dragon Age: Inquisition, some Metroid Prime “true” facts involving ladybirds and Koji Kondo in a bin, and an invasion by a rival games podcast. And there we were thinking we were the only one. Plus: […]

Surprise — we do podcast episodes in 2015 as well as 2014! There’s everything from Destiny to Danganronpa in your picks for Game of the Year (plus some games that start with other letters of the alphabet). Five game songs come out of a listener’s mouth and are instantly not-recognised by us. And Mark ends up in a weird place […]
