Listen Now

The boys kick off a new season of the Overcast Gamer Show with the introduction of a new team member and the return of a much loved favourite: OCG Does D&D.

How did 2018 turn out in the gaming landscape? The now infamous OCG Awards holds all the answers... 

 Nintendo's penchant for cardboard? People stealing words and dances? It’s time for a look back on 2018 aka the crazy year that was. 

The boys talk sunshine or lack thereof, what it's like to work in a manor house, and discuss this year's Geoff Keighley presents The Game Awards (with a few half-arsed attempts to guess the categories).

The boys get indescribable with Call of Cthulu, Abe laments that there's still Leisure Suit Larry games being made, and Pokemon Let's GO is much better than expected.

The crew talk Red Dead Redemption, Balthazar's got the hots for a mobile game called Cytus, and everyone gets in on Abe's new feature: Name That Developer.

 The boys talk Reagan’s impending trip to Japan, the brilliance of EGX, and dive into a spoiler-free review of Insomniac’s Spider-Man. 

The team talk the craziness of Gamescom, terrible movie-going experiences, and the magic of squelching in Aussie-made platformer Hollow Knight. 

The team talk Smash Bros. Ultimate, Abe's impending visit to Gamescom in Germany, copyright infringement, and Reagan's shock discovery of Rick and Morty’s controversial fan base. 

The team talk the new website and announce the winner of the logo competition, wax lyrical on the brilliant horror gem Little Nightmares, and No Man’s Sky is back again!

Everyone vents on a post-E3 world, Abe talks moving to Scotland, and Reagan’s been taking orders from a racket in Mario Tennis Aces. 

The E3 2018 predictions continue with Square Enix, Ubisoft, Sony & Nintendo. 

It’s all about E3, so the boys kick things off with a string of predictions (feasible and otherwise) for each big conference. Will Bethesda bring back Skyrim? Almost certainly.

Abe talks music and sings the praises of manual labour, Reagan’s been building, and Balthazar stirs the pot with a hot take on Sony Santa Monica’s reinvention of God of War. 

Abe’s been selling up, EB Games has been selling outrageously overpriced second hand games, and Balthazar’s enjoyed a trifectre of trash in the form of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Jumanji, Ready Player One and A Quiet Place. 

Everyone's still too hot, Reagan and Abe filmed something weird in Auckland, and has Ubisoft started down a path of redemption with Assassin's Creed Origins? 

New Zealand's least on-topic video game podcast returns! Abe's back from Europe, Reagan's been domesticated by home-ownership, and a sub-par attempt to review 15 movies in one minute.

It's been a year in the making but the 2017 OCG Awards have arrived. Abe, Balthazar, Reagan and guest star Mike discuss and deliberate on the winners and losers from the year past. 

Abe, Balthazar, Reagan and Mike rap on every major gaming release of 2017. Turns out, in the year of the lootbox, there was still plenty to smile about. 

The final episode of the show's second season sees chat around navigating the summer heat as a pasty gamer, some underground fun in Hollow Knight and Dark Souls III, and Balthazar's early read on the Overwatch league.
