We’re going batty this week on TGAM! We kick things off, pondering Capcom vs. Pokémon. We take a dive into the "lovecore" aesthetic, debate the fine line between things that are cute but ugly, and give some much-needed attention to Succubat, Woobat, and Swoobat. Also, expect a significant Red Dwarf diversion Smegheads

This week the maniacs are all about magnets and the pokémon magenzone. Are some pokémon robots? Why is togetic so mid? Who can learn metronome? Why is that eye so big? What are Wario’s power ups and what will the Gen Z great disaster movie look like?

This week’s Pokemon is Calyrex, the horse-fusing, garlic heed. We talk about fusions. Richie hates Calyrex. Cunzy1 1 takes on the Kirby’s Dream Land Master Maniac Quiz and we round off the podcast with a legendary segment about horses, hoses and garlic in video games. Galloppen?

It’s That Guy’s A Maniac Looking Back, Looking Forward episode. We take the turning over of the year as the opportunity to look back at our video game predictions and resolutions from 2025 and then look forward to new games and beating old ones in 2026. Did we predict the Switch 2? Did the GPS Kingdom Hearts come out? Why were we playing darts with our 19 year-old girlfriend instead of solving MURDERS? Click through, look back, look forward.

It’s the end of year Estival celebration and we’ve got a jam-packed show! We’ve got 36 video game-themed Christmas cracker jokes, we’ve got a brutal half-time Chrono Trigger round of That Guy’s a Mastermind and if that wasn’t enough it’s the 2025 TGAM Video Game Christmas Awards. Find out who scoops the wins in our six unique categories.

This week is dog pokemon, Herdier. Which we talk about for five seconds before a good old fashioned What Are You Playing? Richie’s delved back into Baldur’s Gate 3 and tried their hand at Balatro. Cunzy has been on a voyage of discovery with Kirby Star Allies and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

We re-talk about Hallo Kitty being a British Schoolgirl, the symbiosis between jellycat and penguins and the pokemon Mantyke. Richie takes on Metal Kart 3 for the SNES in That Guy’s A Miltank. We then try to remember anything about video games.

Turnips, j k rowling spoiling super mario bros 2, sexual dimorphism and what do Swedes call swedes?
