Join us for our very agnostic break from the usual format as we discuss the games of Christmas Past and the drinks of Christmas Present.

Thanks to ZapSplat for an extra little festive flair this episode

Extra special thank you to Smooth-Foot-4688, 'Neil', and the boys of Pig Unit for providing our special Xmas outro: A wonderful gift for you; our lucky listener!

Andy's Cocktail

Dave's Cocktail

How much fun is 'so much fun'? How attached can you get to a 12 pixel face? How did they squeeze this masterpiece onto the Game Boy Color?

We may or may not actually answer these questions, but we have a damn good time while we talk about Cannon Fodder and try and pair it with a cocktail!

THAT Intro song

The first person shooter that predates the name 'first person shooter' - Listen to Dave and Andy discus the history, the sequels, the legacy, and of course the fridges.

The best song you'll hear today

A double header of blade clashing action courtesy of the first two games in Namco's epic tale of souls and swords, eternally retold!

What's our favourite in the series? What's our favourite character? What cocktails will we choose? What... I mean - WHAT - actually is Voldo!?

All this and more in this weeks Cocktail Mode!

THAT intro cinematic

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah! If it's good enough for Tim Waltz, if good enough for us...

We're showing our love to one of the Dreamcast's most iconic games this time out on Cocktail Mode: Crazy Taxi reminds us what it was like before the PlayStation and Xbox turned everything brown and grimy!

We'll talk punk, we'll talk sequels, we'll talk law suits, and we'll talk S-Club 7... yes, really!

The greatest videogame ever made? The greatest marketing machine that ever existed? The greatest piece of fortuitous episode timing ever?

As the new TV series lands, the remastered original trilogy flies high in the charts, and the conversation about 'what's next' gets ever more prevalent - it couldn't be a better time for Andy and Dave to weigh in on what they think of Lara Croft and her various exploits over the decades... and then try to pick a cocktail that goes well with the episodes topic.

Welcome to the party, pal, where the drinks are great and the games are... err... you'll have to listen to find out.

Dave and Andy wander off topic (as usual) in this episode and end up discussing every Die Hard videogame ever made and spend no small amount of time chatting about the films too.

Dave's Cocktail sadly doesn't have a link this week.

Some say "He can't be killed", some say "He drinks blood", I say: This is our longest episode yet so strap for a wild ride back to the eighties when films were great, games were great, and Jim Carrey (thankfully) wasn't famous yet!
