    History of E3 - Part One
    Jan 16 2026
    It’s here, our monumental series on the entire history of E3! Yeah, we’re not sure why we’d pick a huge series despite being away for years, but here goes! In this episodes we’re covering E3’s humble beginnings, booth babes, John Romero’s Daikatana and much, much more! Huge thanks to all the gaming journalists that have covered E3 over the years, and for laying such a great foundation for the industry.

  • History of the BBFC and Video Nasties

    History of the BBFC and Video Nasties
    Dec 2 2025

    In this episode, we'll be discussing the history of the British Board of Film Classification, and the emergence of the video nasty!


    We examine the beginnings of the BBFC, along with Hammer, James Bond, delinquent teenagers, and somehow, the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. We may even talk about the Daily Mail and old fuddy-duddy bigots, which may not surprise anyone.


    Thanks to the BBFC though, we've been marked as safe from violent sausage-nunchuk gangs.
