Game/Life Balance Australia

We're back after a 7-month break because we're nothing if not dynamic go-getters. And as always with every 5th episode it's an unstructured Stream of Nonsense, so strap in for listening joy as your hosts AC and Rob discuss the Big Tennis Racket, speedos, the joy of a samey sequel, Mickey Mouse's lack of comedic talent, how good Smash TV is (spoilers - it's very good), weird versions of DOOM, the John Candy classic Uncle Buck, and obnoxious method actors. In video game news, Wormsfest 2023 was a hit, AC has been playing Atari 50 and got his paws on another version of the thrilling Japanese train driving game Densha de Go!, while Rob has done nothing but play Hell Let Loose for the last 6 months and is looking more grizzled than a McDonalds quarter pounder patty. Plus AC goes joyriding in a vintage car, the podcast moves to Anchor FM, and more!
